Don't come over here. I don't want Feng Aotian to misunderstand me.

It is difficult to break through to the next level of the secret method of Spiritual Explosion, but it is also easy. The best way is to use it frequently. But most people do not have this condition at all. Each time they use it, they will basically consume too much energy, and even need a certain amount of time to recover. But Ye Pingan is different.

Obviously, because of the long-term use of the secret method of Spirit Explosion, he has made a breakthrough due to repeated use and reached the sixth level. Now that Ye Ping'an has exploded again, the increase will be seven times.

Thinking of this, Ye Pingan laughed out loud. At this moment, he had a preliminary guess about the test here, and immediately said to the replica: "I admit that you are very strong. After all, you are me, but next, you should leave." After saying that! After easing up, Ye Pingan took another pill and swallowed it. Then he held his body and used the Spirit Explosion.

"Hmph! You can only show your verbal power! Although we are both injured now, I have not lost my fighting power. In the next battle, I will definitely kill you." After saying that! The replica also took a pill and used the spiritual explosion.

Both of them knew that this was the final battle. It could be said that after this attack, both of them would completely lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

The spiritual energy around him began to boil.

One times, three times, five times.

In just a moment, the spiritual power of the two increased five times.

However, what surprised the clone was that Ye Ping'an's spiritual power did not stop at this moment. Instead, it directly jumped five times and reached...seven times.

117. Test

Ye Ping'an's spiritual power increase caused the clone on the opposite side to make some mistakes immediately.

Then, the replica looked at Ye Ping'an in shock and exclaimed loudly: "How is this possible? How is it possible for a fake like you to cultivate the Spirit Explosion to the sixth level? How is this possible?"

Seeing the shocked look on the replica's face, Ye Ping'an could not help but deepen his inner guess again, and then smiled slightly: "What does this mean? This means that you are the replica."

"Impossible, how could I be a clone? You are the clone."

"But why didn't you break through your own limit? This is enough to prove that my limitation is your limit. Since your strength is no longer increasing, then you might as well die!" After saying this, Ye Pingan didn't say any more nonsense. He immediately took the Meteoric Sword and chopped at the opponent.

"Damn it, it's only twice! You won't be able to hold on for long." The clone gritted his teeth with an unsightly expression and attacked Ye Ping'an.

'Rumble'

The continuous sound of swords colliding was endless.

In just a moment, the replica was at a disadvantage.

After fighting for more than ten rounds, with Ye Ping'an's sword strike, the clone directly exited the amplification state of the spiritual explosion.

Seeing the long sword raised on the opposite side, the clone showed unwillingness on his face: "No... In this world, I didn't die at the hands of the protagonist, nor at the hands of the heroine, but I died at the hands of the clone. I can't accept this!"

Hearing this, Ye Ping'an's face darkened. It seemed that he had copied all of himself. Otherwise, how could this replica say such a thing? However, even if the replica said so, Ye Ping'an would not let it go. He immediately swung the Falling Star Sword at the already weak replica: "Go to hell!"

The sword flashed across the replica's body, but the expected blood did not spurt out.

Instead, it turned into a bright light again, which slowly began to condense into a ball of light and became brighter and brighter.

Randomly, I saw a ball of light crashing backwards.

There was a loud roar, and a light gate appeared where the light ball was. What made Ye Ping'an happy was that he saw several figures behind the light gate, including Dongfang Mengyue and Lolita. However, what surprised Ye Ping'an was that he couldn't see Feng Aotian after searching for a long time.

This made Ye Ping'an confused, but now was not the time to think about these things. Since he had already defeated the clone, it was time to get out.

Thinking of this, Ye Pingan took a few quick steps and crossed the light gate directly. As the light flashed,

......

"Brother Ping An, you finally came out! The flowers I've been waiting for are all gone."

"Brother Ping'an, you've fallen behind by a few steps. Hurry up and crawl!"

When Ye Ping'an came to his senses again, he heard two voices calling him. They were Lolita and Dongfang Mengyue.

Ye Pingan did not ask the two what was going on here, but directly asked about Xiaotian's whereabouts: "Sister Mengyue, Sister Rita, have you seen Xiaotian?"

"No, as far as I can remember, I was the first one to arrive. After arriving here, I immediately started climbing. During this period, I did not see Sister Xiaotian...Brother." Since Rita was the first to arrive, she was the first to answer Ye Ping'an's doubts.

"Since Sister Rita hasn't seen it, I have definitely not seen it either." Dongfang Mengyue shook her head, indicating that she had also not seen it.

"Then where did she go?" Ye Ping'an couldn't help but frown again.

"Brother Ping'an, stop thinking about it for now. Climbing the stairs is more important. Maybe Xiaotian came out before me and has already climbed to the next area!" Seeing that Ye Ping'an was still thinking about something, Lolita hurriedly reminded him.

Ye Pingan thought so and nodded immediately: "Oh, okay, I'll climb now!"

Then he began to look forward.

Because of the light curtain, I couldn't see the whole picture. Now I found that I was at the bottom of a hundred-story staircase.

There is a light curtain at the top of the stairs, and it is obvious that there is the entrance to the next floor.

At this moment, there were three people on the stairs besides Dongfang Mengyue and Lolita. One of them surprised Ye Pingan because it was the Sky Fox Fairy.

However, what surprised Ye Pingan was that the Sky Fox Fairy was not far behind Lolita, so why didn't she try to intercept her? Or was the Sky Fox Fairy concerned about something?

The remaining two people were a man and a woman, whom Ye Ping'an did not know.

However, when the female cultivator smiled after looking at Ye Ping'an, Ye Ping'an guessed that the other person was Su Li herself.

Looking at Su Li following behind the Sky Fox Fairy, Ye Ping'an knew what Su Li was thinking.

Just at this moment, a flash of light appeared beside Ye Ping'an, and a figure appeared here.

Ye Ping'an looked back and found that it was Su Li who had transformed into Su Wan'er.

Then, Ye Ping'an looked back at Su Li on the steps, then looked at Su Li beside him, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Su Li's replica had run out?

"Brother, why are you standing here like an idiot? Let's go!" Su Li stepped forward and prepared to pull Ye Pingan up the stairs together.

However, Su Li's hand went straight through Ye Ping'an.

"Hey! What's going on?" Su Li looked at his hand in a daze, then looked at Ye Ping'an, and then as if he thought of something, he suddenly realized it.

"What's going on?" Ye Ping'an had no idea, so he asked in surprise.

Lolita, who was still climbing the stairs, sighed, turned around and saw that Ye Ping'an had not moved yet, and couldn't help but feel depressed. She started to explain to Ye Ping'an: "This is because although we can see each other here, we are not in the same time and space."

"What does this mean?" Ye Ping'an looked at Lolita and asked curiously.

"It's very simple. I guess Brother Ping An has already gone through two postgraduate entrance examinations before, right?"

"That's right." Ye Pingan nodded.

The man climbing the stairs nearby nodded and said, "I also went through two tests before I got here."

"That's right. In fact, these three tests can be simply understood as entry tests. The first dark and chaotic land is to test one's heart shape, and whether one can quickly find a way out in the chaotic and disordered land. The second test is to test one's potential, to confirm whether you can break through yourself under the limit, surpass yourself and defeat the clone. The third test is also this, to test one's willpower. As the floors go higher, the pressure will also increase. In the end, only those with strong willpower can pass it."

118. Outer Disciple

"The first and second levels are no problem, but the third level has cultivators at the foundation building, final stage, and Nascent Soul stages. If it is used to test willpower, wouldn't that be very unfair?"

"Don't worry about that! Even though we can see each other, we can't touch each other here. So the test is the same for everyone! Otherwise, why would I be in the first place? If the pressure is the same, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb up at all."

"I see. Then what are the benefits of passing the level?" Ye Ping'an asked curiously.

After all, generally speaking, as long as one succeeds in this kind of test, one can gain great benefits, so when Ye Ping'an asked, there was even a gleam of expectation in his eyes.

Not only Ye Ping'an, but also several people who were already climbing stopped climbing, forcibly resisted the pressure exerted on their bodies, and looked towards Lolita.

"It will be beneficial to be a dyer. As long as you pass, you will immediately become an outer disciple." Lolita said solemnly.

"What? Outer disciples?"

"No way! He fought so hard before, but he is actually an outer disciple?"

"..."

Everyone was extremely shocked by Lolita's words. Although these people appeared here at the moment, it did not mean that they could relax.

Not to mention the first two, there were only a hundred steps on the stone staircase alone, but Lolita, the tallest among the group, had only climbed to the middle, close to the 50th step. The others hadn't even reached the 40th step.

Only after climbing the stone steps can one be considered to have passed the level. But the reward is just to become an outer disciple?

The people here are basically disciples of big forces, so they naturally know that the status of outer disciples in the sect is basically at the bottom. Even if there are benefits, they are just scraps.

Perhaps noticing everyone's confusion, Lolita explained: "Oh! By the way, the outer disciples in the fairy world may be different from our outer disciples here. They may be at the foundation-building stage or even at the immortal stage. For example, among the three tests we participated in, the inner disciples will have their own tests. Only by passing the tests can they become inner disciples."

Lolita's words made everyone look a little better. After all, they came here to look for opportunities. If the inner disciples were like their sect, it would be difficult.

After hearing this, Dongfang Mengyue suddenly remembered that those who passed the level could become outer disciples, but what about those who didn't? So she asked curiously, "Rita, what will happen to those who didn't pass the level?" After all, the several brothers and sisters in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land were all quite strong, and Dongfang Mengyue felt that at least one or two of them could come.

"The duration of each of the three basic tests is one day. If you fail to pass it in one day, you will be transferred to the next test, and so on until all three tests are completed. Then the score will be assessed based on your performance. If you meet the requirements, you will become a menial disciple. There will be a fixed number of assessments every year, and if you pass, you will become an outer disciple. Generally speaking, this score will be determined by the strength of the immortal world. The weaker the strength, the lower the requirement. The stronger the strength, the higher the score, or the person who has passed at least two trials."

"So that's how it is." Dongfang Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief. Since the person was fine, then it would be easy to deal with.

Ye Ping'an was relieved when he heard this. After all, Wang Yuyan, Ao Jingxuan and Senior Sister Xiaoyan should also have the opportunity to come here.

"Okay, Brother Ping'an, hurry up! Even though I'm almost in the middle now, the climb will become harder and harder as I go further back. Most people can't even finish the climb in a day, and it'll be over." Seeing that Ye Ping'an didn't move, Lolita kindly reminded him.

Randomly, without paying any attention to the others, he started to climb up intently.

Ye Ping'an scratched his head awkwardly and couldn't help but look at Su Li beside him.

Su Li also knew what Ye Ping'an meant, so she nodded naturally, and then the two of them climbed upwards together.

The moment Ye Ping'an stepped onto the stone steps, his expression suddenly changed.

The body that was originally as light as a feather now seemed to be filled with lead and became difficult to move. It was as if the gravity had increased tenfold.

After careful feeling, Ye Pingan discovered that if it was an ordinary peak foundation building, he would even collapse to the ground under this kind of pressure.

I'm afraid that only those who have entered the foundation-building stage from the eleventh level of Qi training and are practicing earth-level techniques are qualified to step into this first step.

Without hesitation, Ye Ping'an took several steps forward with his terrifying body.

It stopped directly on the tenth floor.

Here, the pressure has risen to another level. Ye Pingan estimated that if one has not reached the twelfth level of Qi training or has practiced heavenly-level techniques, he or she would not be qualified to enter the tenth level.

You know, those who can cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi training are already geniuses in the holy land, but here they can't even reach the tenth level.

Of course, Ye Pingan also knew that this was not absolute. After all, they were all geniuses of the great sects, and they had some secret techniques. If they used the secret techniques, they should be able to go further.

Ye Ping'an's actions naturally attracted the attention of others. When they saw Ye Ping'an climbed to the tenth floor without saying a word, everyone except Su Li and Su Li's clone was immediately shocked.

At this moment, Lolita finally saw how terrifying Ye Ping'an's body was.

Dongfang Mengyue also realized how strong Ye Ping'an's background was. No wonder he was able to use the secret technique and fight against the purple dan beast.

Even the Sky Fox Fairy had a bright look in her beautiful eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The remaining male disciple looked at the distance between Ye Ping'an and himself, which was only about ten levels away, and his expression became excited.

As for Ye Ping'an, after feeling the pressure of the tenth level.

Then climb upwards.

One step, two steps, three steps...

At this moment, Ye Ping'an climbed up another ten steps.

This time, the strong sense of pressure brought by ten climbs made Ye Pingan stop directly. The terrifying pressure seemed to be superimposed, directly pressing Ye Pingan to the spot.

It took nearly half a minute to relax before the pressure was finally suppressed.

At this moment, the male disciple had just reached the twentieth level.

At this moment, both of them were divided into the same class and looked at each other.

Suddenly, an embarrassed expression came from the man's face.

After all, it had been half an hour since Xingxing entered here, and he finally climbed to the twentieth floor with great difficulty.

Although there is still some lingering feeling after arriving here, it is definitely not like this pervert who reached the twentieth floor in just two minutes.

You know, climbing too fast will cause the accumulation of pressure. This kid can actually stack ten layers. Isn't that even more terrifying?

119. Two layers

After learning from Lolita that everyone was not in the same space and that everyone faced the same pressure, they saw that Ye Ping'an had actually climbed from the tenth step to the twentieth step. Except for the man next to Ye Ping'an and Su Li, everyone's faces showed shock again.

Fairy Sky Fox was still certain that Ye Ping'an was also a physical cultivator, and a very strong one at that. Moreover, he was not much inferior to the fierce beasts that were born with strong physiques.

In the world of immortal cultivation, the demon race is generally divided into demon beasts and demon race.

The reason for this classification is that the demon race usually cultivates spiritual power in addition to the physical body. However, because they cultivate both, their physical bodies are not too strong unless they are gifted. When fighting, most of them fight in their transformed human bodies.

As for the demon beasts, most of them cultivate their physical bodies, and a small number cultivate their spiritual power. Generally speaking, their bodies are much stronger than those of the demons. When fighting, they mostly use their physical bodies to fight the enemy.

Of course, fierce beasts are an exception. Most fierce beasts are purely for physical training, and they don't cultivate spiritual power at all. In addition, most fierce beasts have no reason at all, and they only have instincts! Except for some ancient fierce beasts or immortal beasts, they will have some wisdom, otherwise they have no reason at all.

If the other party had not been confirmed to be a human, the Sky Fox Fairy would have thought that the other party was a vicious beast in human form.
