Everyone gathered under the immortal ladder.
It was pitch black, as if an army was preparing to attack the city.
Unlike the soldiers, most of the people here had tension and anxiety on their faces. Many of them clenched their fists, and some closed their eyes as if praying.
Everyone wants to truly join the Xuyun Sword Sect, but they know that only a very small number of people have the opportunity to enter the Xuyun Sword Sect.
Those who can enter are all rare.
However, not everyone is nervous.
Some of the geniuses at the front of the crowd had calm expressions, some had a hint of disdain, and some had a cold pride.
There was no sign of restraint or tension on their faces.
This is the case with Dongfang Qiaoyue of the Dongfang family and Chu Qianjun of the Chu family.
This is especially true for Xu Chen.
Eh, that's not right.
Liu Xi looked at Xu Chen, who didn't seem nervous at all, and asked in surprise, "Why aren't you nervous?"
Will I tell you that I have passed the trials of Xuyun Sword Sect countless times?
While playing the game, Xu Chen already knew what the Xuyun Sword Sect's trial was, and even knew what bugs there were.
Even though hundreds of years have passed, the trials left by the ancestors of the Xuyun Sword Sect should not have changed.
Since nothing has changed, he doesn't need to be nervous.
Of course, Xu Chen didn't tell Liu Xi the real reason. He said, "I'm nervous, but I just don't show it on my face."
Liu Xi wasn't sure whether this was true or not, but she didn't ask any further.
"Boom!"
The sound of bells was heard in the distance, and then several figures appeared above everyone.
The people who gathered became even more nervous, as everyone knew that the elders of Xuyun Sword Sect had arrived.
"Good afternoon, everyone. I am Lin Hetong, the Second Elder of the Xuyun Sword Sect, and I am in charge of your assessment ceremony."
Lin Hetong was fully responsible for the trial this time and spoke calmly to everyone.
His tone was calm, and should have been heard only by a few people in the front row, but everyone could hear it clearly, as if it was a whisper in their ears.
The supernatural powers of great practitioners are so unreasonable.
"Today's first test is the Immortal Ladder. You must climb as high as possible within half an hour. During this time, you will experience hallucinations and see the things you fear most."
"Please strive to overcome them. Only then will you be able to enter our sect."
"The height you climb will be your achievement. I hope you will not let our sect down."
After Lin Hetong said this, everyone understood what this trial was about.
It is the heart of Tao.
Only by keeping your mind steady amidst fear can you truly overcome illusions and ascend to higher places.
what?
Xu Chen was confused. He had never heard of this trial.
What he feared most was of course being found by the Empress and Xiyun Sword Immortal together, thus exposing his identity as a scumbag.
If it was this trial, he probably wouldn't have come at all.
Logically speaking, even if three hundred years had passed, the Xuyun Sword Sect should not have changed the content of the trial.
Unless something major happens.
While he was still thinking, he discovered the huge change.
A majestic aura came from above, and people raised their heads and looked towards the distant sky.
There is a peerless and beautiful figure in the sky.
The jade feet stepped lightly, and the beautiful figure seemed to transcend the concepts of time and space, walking down from the void step by step.
She was dressed in blood-red, covering the entire sky like a blood moon, as if she had robbed the world of all its splendor.
The slender and moving body stands high in the sky, and the whole world seems to be within reach.
The world, which was bustling just now, suddenly fell into silence.
Everything is so silent, yet it's hard to look away.
She is the center of everyone's attention.
She is the sword master of Xuyun Sword Sect.
Summer is like frost.
This name appeared in everyone's mind.
Many people thought of the deeds of this legendary man, the sea of blood in Yunzhongzhou thirty years ago, and the rumor that the old devil Pei Zhi was killed with one sword.
They all thought of the same thing, which was Xia Rushuang's reputation.
And Xu Chen was thinking...
Why did the little beggar he once saved become like this today?
4. Discovered
He remembered that Xia Rushuang was a little beggar at first.
At that time, Xia Rushuang begged on the streets all day long, begging for food with cats and dogs.
Upon seeing this, Xu Chen accepted Xia Rushuang as his apprentice and set out on the journey into the martial arts world.
He still remembers Xia Rushuang's words, "I want to marry him when I grow up."
Everything in the game, like the past, turned into memories in Xu Chen's mind, constantly stimulating his mind.
These seemed like real facts that had actually existed, and Xu Chen could not forget them.
On the day he was killed by the woman in black, Xia Rushuang should still be in seclusion.
What exactly happened in these three hundred years?
Why did she become the head of Xuyun Sword Sect?
Or was the woman in black that day Xia Rushuang who had just come out of confinement?
Xu Chen had no idea, and now he just wanted to escape.
Three hundred years had passed, and the fact that he was dating more than thirty women at the same time would have most likely been exposed long ago.
If Xia Rushuang were to see him now, he would probably have the same fate as the scumbag in the game and be stabbed to death.
Xia Rushuang might also say "seems like".
He looked around, trying to see if anyone around had left because of this trial.
Sadly, no one made any move to leave.
If he left at this moment, he would probably become the most conspicuous person.
Should I leave at this time?
Xu Chen kept thinking.
While he was thinking, almost everyone showed a shocked expression.
The crowd, which was originally a bit noisy, was now completely silent.
The vast majority of people present had only heard the name "Xia Rushuang" in legends, and even many disciples of the Xuyun Sword Sect had never seen the Sword Master Xia Rushuang.
Xia Rushuang's deeds have long been well-known, and the bloody battle has been made into countless versions by storytellers, but few people have been able to see this legendary figure.
Even those powerful men who have been famous for a long time would feel an extremely heavy pressure the moment they saw this woman in red.
Almost everyone felt a deep sense of awe and awe in their hearts, like an instinct born from within.
She is a miracle in herself.
"Is that Master Xia Jian?"
"Who else could it be? That aura alone is like tens of millions of swords dancing in the air."
"I never dreamed that I would actually meet that legendary figure."
Everyone murmured excitedly, they had never thought that participating in this trial would allow them to meet the legendary figure.
Rumor has it that Xia Rushuang would not participate in the disciple selection at all. She immersed herself wholeheartedly in spiritual practice, as if she wanted to reach the legendary realm and ascend to heaven.
Even the core disciples of the Xuyun Sword Sect find it difficult to see Sword Master Xia. In people's minds, she is a symbol of mystery and power.
At this moment, they saw the legendary red dress, how could they not be excited?
"I heard that Sword Master Xia is still single. Maybe if we perform well after being selected and become core disciples, we can also win Sword Master Xia's favor and secretly fall in love with him during our daily interactions..."
Hearing the ordinary yet confident voice of a virgin next to him, Xu Chen patted the shoulder of the person next to him with a smile on his face and asked, "Have you ever considered writing a novel?"
"what?"
Gu Hongkai looked confused, as if he had not yet realized the meaning of Xu Chen's words.
However, Liu Xi on the side burst out laughing. She didn't expect that Xu Chen still had the leisure to make jokes at this time.
Xu Chen ignored this person who could plan the future decades later after just one meeting. He looked at the beautiful figure walking down in the sky with his hands behind his back and wanted to laugh.
She is still so childish and pretentious.
Who asked my master to be like this?
After sighing a few words in his heart, Xu Chen walked out of the crowd.
Although he really wanted the treasure from the Xuyun Sword Sect, the most urgent thing was to not reveal his identity.
He wanted to slip away while everyone was discussing the matter, perhaps he could leave without anyone noticing.
"where are you going?"
Liu Xi saw Xu Chen walking back and was a little confused, not understanding what Xu Chen was going to do.
Everyone wants to be the first in the trial, so why is this person retreating?
"It suddenly occurred to me that the fire at home was still on."
Xu Chen said something casually and was about to leave, saying, "You can continue with my share."
"Now that you've come this far, are you still going to give up?"
Liu Xi knew very well that this was Xu Chen's excuse. She didn't understand how anyone could choose to leave at this point.
Could it be that he has a fear that he cannot face no matter what?
"You don't understand. Goodbye."
Xu Chen didn't intend to tell Liu Xi too much about himself. After saying this, he walked outside.
You must, you must not let Xia Rushuang see this.
Before he regains his original strength, he cannot be found by his harem, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
The scene where the girls said, "Let's divide him up" had already appeared in Xu Chen's mind.
He couldn't bear the thought of it.
He had to flee immediately.
Liu Xi didn't say anything in the end. She and Xu Chen were just casual acquaintances. No matter how kind she was, she would not interfere with Xu Chen's own decision.
"Where are you going?"
Just as Xu Chen broke away from the crowd and was about to leave, he heard a voice.
This voice came from Zheng Qiyun, the seventh elder of Xuyun Sword Sect.
Zheng Qiyun was very confused as to why this person was ready to leave before even trying to climb the ladder to immortality.
