Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"Alright then, I hope you can find a better way!" Xu Jingtian seemed to have guessed he would say that, and winked at the other two, saying, "Then the three of us, as long as we find one more person, can get up from here."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Sixing hurriedly said, "If you want me to agree, it's not impossible, as long as I'm not at the very bottom." After he finished speaking, he looked at the chubby boy provocatively.

The chubby boy immediately understood, laughed heartily, patted his chest and said, "What's so difficult about that? Come on!" After saying that, he spread his legs, squatted down on the ground, and assumed a horse stance.

And so, the chubby boy was at the bottom, followed by Xu Jingtian, and then Dongfang Sixing, forming a human ladder nearly two zhang long.

The girl climbed up the human ladder to the top, and with a light leap, grabbed a vine. She threw down the rope made of the three people's belts, and the three of them successfully climbed up the vine one by one.

"This method really works! You're so clever!" the girl praised Xu Jingtian.

"Hehe, I just feel that doing it this way is okay." Xu Jingtian said somewhat blankly. It was the first time he had been praised by a girl his own age, and his face felt a little hot.

"My name is Li Wanruo, and this older brother is Gu Tianxing," the girl said, pointing to the chubby boy. "And you two?"

"My name is Xu Jingtian, and that person is Dongfang Sixing," Xu Jingtian introduced.

Li Wanruo looked up at the mountaintop and said, "Thank you both for your help. It's obvious that you two brothers are very powerful. My martial arts skills are humble, and I hope you can help me more in the future."

"We should help each other when we're in trouble; it's only natural," Xu Jingtian said generously.

"Hmph, wishful thinking!" Dongfang Sixing seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Jingtian, feeling that the young master's dignity was gradually eroding.

"Hmph." Gu Tianxing was displeased to see the woman praising Xu Jingtian. He kept his head down and, without saying a word, took the lead, grabbing the vines and climbing upwards with all his might.

"Now that we're up here, let's go!" Xu Jingtian said, not wanting to fall behind, he followed closely behind, grabbing the vines and nimbly climbing upwards.

Xu Jingtian and his two companions were in front. They were strong, and the thick vines were just right for them. They used both their hands and feet to climb up quickly, and even broke off some branches and leaves that blocked their way.

Although Li Wanruo was physically weak, she was very agile when climbing vines. She squeezed in and out of the gaps, and her climbing speed was no less than that of the three of them.

Although the four of them had found climbing tools, this was only the foot of the mountain, and they were still thousands of feet away from the summit. They had no choice but to climb upwards with all their might.

"Hey, here! Here!" The four of them had climbed less than twenty feet when the other disciples also spotted them and shouted.

Seeing Xu Jingtian and his team's climbing method, everyone's eyes lit up and they all got busy.

Although there were many of them, they were in a chaotic mess with no leader in the middle. They managed to form two human ladders with great difficulty, but those behind rushed up in a scramble, and not many of them were able to grab the vines.

"Get lost! You lot, don't try to grab it, or you'll get beaten up! Wait until our young master Zhu goes up first, then you can go up!" A fierce, cold shout came from behind.

"Who is it? Who's so arrogant! They even dare to hit our young master Zhang!"

"Hmph! I don't care if you're some young master Zhang or young master Wang, get out of here!"

Immediately afterwards, sounds of fists and kicks and insults came from the foot of the mountain.

Xu Jingtian looked down and saw a young man dressed in fine clothes being surrounded by several strong men, who were also holding onto several vines, rushing towards them.

At the foot of the mountain, people lay sprawled on the ground, cursing under their breath, but dared not follow closely behind them.

It seems that this young man in fine clothes is quite capable, and the men beside him are also skilled in martial arts. With their combined efforts, they climbed up four or five zhang in no time.

"Hey, you guys in front! Make way, let our young master Zhu go first!" one of the men shouted at Xu Jingtian and his group.

"What should we do?" Li Wanruo was frightened when she saw that the other side had a large number of people, and her face turned pale.

Gu Tianxing first turned to look at her and said, "Don't be afraid, Wanruo, I'm here!" Then he rushed down the mountain and said, "Hmph, who does your young master Zhu think he is? If he has the guts, let him climb up himself!"

"Gu Tianxing, I've got you this time!" said the young master Zhu. "Chase after them!" At his command, several men around him strained their wrists and kicked, chasing after them like tigers and wolves.

"what!"

Li Wanruo had never seen anything like this before, and she was immediately terrified, her legs went weak, and her arms were cut. If Xu Jingtian hadn't pulled her back in time, she would have almost fallen off the cliff.

"Don't worry about him, just keep climbing!" Xu Jingtian said to her with a slight smile.

"Thank you, Brother Xu." Li Wanru smiled gratefully, feeling a little relieved. She no longer felt the pain in her arm that had been scratched earlier, and stretched out her slender arm to climb upwards with all her might.

"Sixing, you lead the way and take good care of Miss Wanruo. Brother Gu and I will bring up the rear and deal with them!" Xu Jingtian said to the group after a moment's thought. Seeing that things were not going well, he hurriedly urged Li Wanruo to climb up quickly, as the enemy clearly had the upper hand in terms of both numbers and overall strength.

"Hmm." Dongfang Sixing nodded upon seeing this. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he knew the importance of things and didn't care about his status at this moment. He rushed ahead of Li Wanruo, clearing a path with both hands and pulling down all the dead branches blocking the way.

"Who is this Young Master Zhu?" Xu Jingtian asked Gu Tianxing as he climbed.

"Hmph, who else could it be but the scoundrel Zhu Wanli! Relying on being a member of the Zhu family, a family of cultivators, he acts arrogantly and domineeringly. In the previous levels, he has already injured several disciples. I heard that several of his family members are in the Brahma Sect, and two of them are already elite disciples." Although Gu Tianxing's tone was full of disdain, there was still a hint of panic in his expression.

"An elite disciple, no wonder he's so arrogant!" Xu Jingtian was startled.

Elite disciples, like Yan Gang whom they just encountered, hold a higher status within the sect than inner disciples.

With pressure coming from behind, Xu Jingtian and his companions noticeably increased their speed, climbing nearly twenty zhang in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Although their foreheads were already covered in sweat, they dared not slow down in the slightest.

However, with fewer obstacles, Zhu Wanli and his group seemed to be moving faster, and the distance between them and Xu Jingtian and the others was constantly closing.

Xu Jingtian looked down and saw that at the foot of the mountain, besides those who had been injured by Zhu Wanli and the others, there were dozens of other disciples who had recovered and were chasing after Zhu Wanli, but they did not dare to chase too closely and were more than ten feet behind them.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Wanli's henchmen could catch up with Xu Jingtian at any time.

"So many disciples, yet they were bullied by a brat. Doesn't the Taoist priest in charge of the selection care?" Xu Jingtian asked Gu Tianxing.

"Bah! Upholding justice! I wonder what kind of bribe Master Tu Yang secretly received from the Zhu family. Zhu Wanli injured more than a dozen disciples in the previous rounds, but he turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it." Gu Tianxing said angrily, seemingly having also suffered a loss at Zhu Wanli's hands.

"What if someone dies?" Xu Jingtian found it hard to believe.

"Hmph, do you think this is still the secular world? Here, killing someone goes unpunished. If you get killed, it only proves your incompetence!" Gu Tianxing said this, but a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

"This is so unfair to those disciples!" Xu Jingtian said resentfully, feeling indignant.

Is it possible that the immortal sects are just like the mortal world, where only the wicked can run rampant, while the kind are destined to be bullied?

Having experienced too many hardships since childhood, Xu Jingtian's heart is filled with sympathy for the weak and hatred for those who bully the weak.

The disciples at the foot of the mountain who had been injured by Zhu Wanli were pitiful. Some of them were so badly injured that they couldn't even get up. How could they possibly pass the test? Without a doubt, they had been eliminated and could only accept this cruel fact.

"Fairness? Hmph, where in this world is there any fairness?" Gu Tianxing said coldly, a hint of hatred in his eyes, his expression completely out of character for his age.

Xu Jingtian smiled inwardly, thinking that this person must have a story to tell. He turned to Gu Tianxing and said, "In that case, it's easy! You follow behind Sixing and Miss Wanruo, and I'll deal with these people!" Hearing this, he had already come up with a plan.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Tianxing was taken aback when he heard this.

"I'd feel guilty if I didn't find a way to punish this brat!" Xu Jingtian said calmly.

"Hmph, you underestimate me! I, Gu Tianxing, will also play a part in dealing with the scoundrel Zhu Wanli!" Gu Tianxing shoved his fat body forward with force, making him much taller and increasing his imposing aura.

"Hehe, not bad, you've got guts!" Xu Jingtian gave him a thumbs up. It was the first time he'd ever praised someone like that, and he even felt a little embarrassed.

"What's next?" Gu Tianxing asked him. Although he tried to appear strong, he still lacked confidence when looking at Zhu Wanli's fierce-looking subordinates.

Xu Jingtian smiled and whispered a few words in his ear. Gu Tianxing was delighted and laughed, "Not bad, not bad, this plan is feasible."

The men around Zhu Wanli, who had been chasing closely, were overjoyed to see Xu Jingtian and his companion stop, and rushed toward them.

One of the men was second only to Zhu Wanli in martial arts. He was agile and eager to make a name for himself. In no time, he climbed to within ten feet of Xu Jingtian and his companion.

"Stop!" the man roared, and with a sudden burst of strength, his body soared into the air, leaping over a distance of several feet, and reached out to grab the two men.

"Here you go!" Gu Tianxing first gave the man a mysterious smile, then handed over the vine in his hand before dodging it.

Unsuspecting, the man reached out and grabbed the vine, while his other fist continued its trajectory as it attacked Xu Jingtian.

"Well done!" Xu Jingtian looked at the fist that was coming at him and smiled contemptuously. The fist that had been gathering power for a long time spun out from behind him.

With a loud bang, the vine in the man's hand snapped, and his sturdy body immediately plummeted towards the cliff.
