Chapter 625: Stubborn Girl

"In a flash, more than twenty years have passed."

Looking at the majestic and majestic mountain, Ling Xian was filled with emotion.

More than 20 years have passed since he was forced by the three royal families to the present. Although this is nothing to an immortal cultivator, especially for an immortal cultivator with a high realm, I am afraid it is difficult to leave even a single wrinkle.

Take Ling Xian as an example, how many years have passed, he still looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, too young.

But those star eyes are full of vicissitudes. Especially after experiencing a death, he was enlightened, and his eyes were full of wisdom.

"Let's go, I hope the real person will not be startled by me."

Ling Xian smiled warmly, and did not enter the mountain gate directly, but immediately followed the stone steps of this ten-thousand-zhang peak and walked up the mountain.

This stone stair, called the Heavenly Step, has a total of 9,999 steps.

Three hundred years ago, it was used to test entry-level disciples, and only after passing it could one become a disciple of Wanjianzong.

The difficulty of this stone step is very high. It tests a person's perseverance and Taoism. Those who lack persistence will not be able to make it. In addition, with the changes of the times, the criteria for choosing an apprentice are gradually replaced by talent and understanding. Therefore, the ascending rank has lost its value of existence.

Over time, Wanjianzong no longer uses it to select disciples, and those who enter the school do not have to step through this stone step. However, since the Ascension Rank was created by the ancestor of Wanjian, it has a spiritual symbol.

Therefore, Wan Jianzong has a rule. That is, under the circumstance that talent and understanding are not up to the standard, if someone can step up to the heavenly level, then he can become a disciple of Wanjianzong.

It's a pity that three hundred years have passed, and very few dare to try, and there are very few people who can make it past.

One is that it is difficult to climb to the sky itself, and the other is that the times are changing. People place too much importance on aptitude and understanding.

Once you find that you are not up to the standard, you will lose your heart to the Tao. In this way, how can they pass the sky-high level that tests the cultivator's standing?

I have to say that this is the tragedy of an entire era, and it is also the tragedy of the entire immortal world.

People value talent and understanding too much, just as mortals value power and money, so that everyone ignores the most beautiful and essential things.

"The sorrow of the times,

Manpower cannot be changed. "

Ling Xian sighed softly and followed the stone steps all the way up, intending to experience this stone step that values ​​the essence of a monk.

For him, this stone step is not difficult at all. One is that he is physically unparalleled and will not feel tired, and the other is that he is very resilient.

In this way, he walked slowly while feeling the beautiful scenery around him.

But just as he had passed more than 2,000 steps, he suddenly discovered that there was a thin woman's back not far away.

The reason why she is said to be a woman is because she is wearing a long pale yellow palace dress. There are many patches on it, and the clothes are a little old.

It seems that the woman's family is not very good.

"Interesting, someone is actually challenging the Heavenly Rank, is it a disciple of Wan Jianzong?" Ling Xian smiled lightly, walked quickly to the woman, and turned to look at her.

I saw her pretty face and beautiful face, her brows and eyes had not yet opened, and she looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old. And it may be malnutrition, her little face looks a little sallow.

At this moment, she is clenching her teeth, sweating profusely, and striding forward with difficulty.

As for Ling Xian's sudden appearance, she was slightly taken aback, but she quickly retracted her gaze. In those slightly dim eyes, there is only the sky-high level, and only firmness.

Seeing this, Ling Xian raised his brows, slightly surprised.

He could see that this girl was just a powerless mortal, and was malnourished and had poor physical strength. However, she has reached more than 2,000 steps, which is quite difficult for a 13 or 14-year-old mortal.

This made Ling Xian intrigued, and asked with a smile, "Little girl, you came here to ascend to the heavenly rank, but in order to worship the Wanjian Sect?"

Hearing this, the girl glanced at him as if she was looking at an idiot.

This made Ling Xian startled, then shook his head and laughed, and understood.

If it weren't for the purpose of worshipping Wanjianzong, who would come here to climb the ladder if he had nothing to spare? If it is a strong man like him, it's just for fun, but a mortal, how can he come here to find guilt?

"I was wrong."

Ling Xian smiled and continued to ask: "Then you failed the assessment of Wan Jianzong?"

When the voice fell, he wanted to give himself a slap. Isn't this nonsense? Who passes the assessment, can still climb the ladder? Have nothing to spare to find guilt for yourself.

Sure enough, when he said these words, he saw the girl look at him with the look of an idiot.

This made Ling Xian wonder whether to laugh or cry. In fact, he couldn't blame him. Anyone who met a stranger would always ask this kind of question subconsciously.

"Okay, I was the one who made a blunder."

Ling Xian smiled and shook his head, "What's your name?"

Hearing this, the girl didn't even look at him, she continued to grit her teeth and challenged the climbing ladder.

It's a pity that she is very weak at the moment. Therefore, every step she takes is very difficult. Looking at it like this, let alone reaching the top, I am afraid she can't even do half of it.

However, the girl's heart is very tough, she gritted her teeth and was unyielding.

With such a stubborn appearance, even Ling Xian was a little moved.

"What a tenacious little girl."

Ling Xian sighed in admiration, and immediately became playful and said with a smile: "But judging from your state, you will definitely not be able to climb the ladder. Do you want me to help you?"

This time, the girl turned her head and glanced at him, but she was still looking at the idiot.

"It's this look again... Where am I looking like an idiot?"

Ling Xian was speechless. Since his debut, this is the first time he has been ignored, and the first time he has been looked at in this way.

Hearing this, the girl pouted and finally spoke. Her voice is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, clear and sweet, very pleasant.

"Looking at your age, you should be one of the people who failed to pass the test if you come here again. And you can't even guarantee yourself, so how can you say you can help me?"

Ling Xian was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and laughed, this little girl dared to think that she was the one who participated in the assessment.

However, he did not reveal his identity, and asked with a smile, "I just ask you, if I can really help you reach the top, would you like it?"

Hearing this, the girl frowned and looked at the stone steps that could not be seen in front of her, obviously a little tempted.

But in the end, she shook her head slowly but firmly, and said, "No need, if I join Wan Jianzong by cheating, then I won't achieve anything in the future."

"That's right, she's such a tough-minded little girl who doesn't cheat." Ling Xian sighed in admiration, her star eyes flashing with admiration.

His original intention was just to test the girl to see how her heart was, but if she agreed, he would also take her to the top.

However, there will inevitably be some disappointment. However, the girl was righteous and refused the matter, which naturally made him appreciate it a little.

But the girl's next sentence left him with black lines.

"Anyway, looking at you, you don't look like a strong person, let alone a good person."
