Chapter 5976: Divine Ladder Awakens the Spirit

 "We, the Purple Blood Clan, are immortals. We do not believe in the God Pool, will not develop God servants and God people, and will not gather Gods to create gods." Huang Xuan shook his head.

 Obviously, Huang Xuan's words could not completely solve Long Chen's doubts. He just looked at Long Chen quietly.

 And Long Chen seemed to understand Huang Xuan's intention. He looked carefully at the gate of Emperor Mountain. There was a long staircase in front of the gate, and there was no one.

 In the huge gate, the purple divine light flowed, and the sacred and solemn atmosphere made people feel awe from the depths of their souls. However, apart from these, Long Chen could not see anything unusual.

 Seeing that Long Chen faced the gate of Emperor Mountain without any strange fluctuations, Huang Xuan's eyes flashed with a puzzled look, and finally said:

 "Every disciple of the Purple Blood Clan, when they come to the gate of Emperor Mountain, will feel the call of the ancestors.

 They kneel to the ancestors and worship to express gratitude. They will naturally be so pious when listening to the voice of the ancestors in front of the mountain gate."

 "Then why can't I feel anything?" Long Chen couldn't help asking.

 "I don't know about that!" Elder Huang Xuan shook his head:

 "This road in front of the mountain gate is the only way for every disciple outside the mountain, and it is also the final test. After stepping on 3,600 steps and entering the mountain gate, you will be the entry disciple of Emperor Mountain."

 "What an entry disciple, it's really appropriate. Then if I close the mountain gate after entering, will I be the closed disciple?" Long Chen couldn't help but say.

 "Hahaha..."

 It seemed that few people talked to him like this. Huang Xuan laughed all of a sudden: "Okay, I'll wait for you inside the gate."

 After saying that, Huang Xuan's figure disappeared, and Long Chen slowly walked to the front of the steps. At this time, countless people's eyes were focused on Long Chen.

 In front of the steps, there were more than a dozen young disciples wearing white robes and purple belts around their waists. They all looked at Long Chen. Originally, after going through many tests, the disciples who came here still needed to accept their registration and inspection.

 They needed to record which branch the person came from, the richness of the bloodline, and other information, but Long Chen was brought by Elder Huang Xuan himself, so these people naturally didn't dare to check.

 "Can I go up?" Long Chen asked tentatively when he saw so many people staring at him.

 "You were brought by Elder Huang Xuan, so you have the privilege of entering the mountain gate directly. But I'll take care of you and walk slowly." A disciple nodded to Long Chen.

 "Thank you."

 Although I didn't know what he meant by "walk slowly", it should be a reminder to me.

 Long Chen raised his leg and walked towards the steps. When he stepped on the first step, several purple runes lit up on the steps under his feet. Then

 Long Chen felt a vague resistance that seemed to push him down. Now he understood that what the man meant by walking slowly was to let Long Chen walk step by step steadily. If he stepped on empty air, he might lose the qualification to enter the mountain gate. However

 , the resistance was too weak for Long Chen. If it weren't for the fact that Zixue had been blessed by the Dragon Ball and became more sensitive, Long Chen couldn't feel the resistance at all.

 "Hoo, ho, ho..."

 Long Chen walked up the mountain step by step, and the eyes of countless people at the bottom of the mountain were all focused on Long Chen. Some people envied, some were jealous, and some had a mocking look on their lips, as if waiting for Long Chen to fail.

 Long Chen stood on the steps, and he found that his purple blood power became deeper and deeper. With every step he took, the purple blood power extended outward on the steps. He could see the expressions of the people below the steps clearly, and even their soul fluctuations could be clearly captured.

 Long Chen couldn't help but sigh. When he met Xie Wanyi and others, Long Chen was full of emotion. He thought that the purple blood clan would all be such upright, kind and loyal young people, but now Long Chen found that he thought too much.

 "Buzz buzz buzz..."

 The more Long Chen walked forward, the more runes lit up under his feet with each step. At the beginning, only one or two runes lit up on the steps, and when Long Chen took more than a hundred steps, dozens of runes lit up under his feet every time.

 The more runes there are, the stronger the resistance is. Ordinary Tiansheng disciples cannot even cross ten steps and will be blown away.

 Of course, ordinary Tianshengs are not qualified to step onto this ladder. Most of those who can climb the ladder are Emperor Miao strongmen.

 Therefore, when people saw that Long Chen was just an ordinary Tiansheng, but he was qualified to climb the ladder, countless people felt unbalanced.

 They thought it was cheating, that the Emperor was giving Long Chen special treatment, while they, after going through so many tests, could only worship here and were not even qualified to climb the ladder.

 "One thousand steps"

 However, when Long Chen stepped onto the thousandth step, people couldn't help but exclaimed.

 The thousandth step is a watershed. Many Emperor Miao strongmen, after stepping onto the first thousandth step, their bodies began to become unstable, and their legs felt like they were filled with lead.

 But when Long Chen stepped onto the thousandth step, his steps were still relaxed, no different from the beginning, and even his speed did not change.

 At that moment, the jealousy on the faces of those jealous people turned into astonishment.

 When Long Chen stepped onto the 2,000th step, the astonishment on their faces turned into horror.

 When Long Chen stepped onto the 3,000th step, there was only awe on their faces.

 Perhaps, this is the human heart. When you stand a little higher than the people around you, they will be jealous of you, will reject you, will throw dirty water on you, and will trip you up.

 However, when you stand at a height that is out of their reach and they can only look up to you, they will be in awe of you like a god.

 Although Long Chen is still as mediocre as before, no one dares to be jealous of him or slander him.

 "Buzz buzz buzz..."

 After passing the 3,000th step, the runes under Long Chen's feet became more and more. However, this should have been a huge resistance, but Long Chen could not feel it.

 In Long Chen's body, purple blood rose, and a purple cloud in his dantian trembled. The runes that appeared under Long Chen's feet would be imprinted in the cloud.

 At that moment, Long Chen understood that this last test was actually an opportunity.

 If you can withstand the pressure, you will get a benefit for every step you take. However, there is a prerequisite: whether the power of one's blood can withstand this kind of violent cramming-style engraving.

 Long Chen's purple blood, blessed by the Dragon Ball, is like a vast ocean. It gladly accepts any rune engraving.

 Long Chen doesn't know how to use these runes, but he can guess that these runes are the basis for using the secret techniques of the Purple Blood Clan.

 "Buzz"

 In the shocked eyes of countless people, Long Chen stepped on the last step and climbed directly to the top. At that moment, 3,600 steps lit up at the same time, and the dazzling divine light went straight into the sky. The

 runes engraved in Long Chen's body also lit up at the same time. They seemed to be activated in an instant, and then quickly spread into Long Chen's blood, and combined with each other, forming a blood chain, which was finally engraved in Long Chen's meridians.

 "The Divine Ladder is awakening?"

 When seeing the divine light emanating from the 3,600 steps, Elder Huang Xuan showed a look of shock on his face:

 "This phenomenon has not appeared in many years!"

 "Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

 At this moment, the void trembled, and a vast imperial might appeared. Huang Xuan's face changed, and he wanted to take Long Chen away as soon as possible, but it was too late.

 A loud laugh was heard, and an old emperor appeared: "Hahaha, the Divine Ladder is awakening, and auspicious signs have been sent to our Emperor Mountain. Let me see which one it is... Um, Long Chen?"

 However, when he saw Long Chen's appearance, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his eyes became cold:

 "Little beast, you slaughtered my Bi family disciples, and you dare to come to Emperor Mountain, kneel down in front of me!"
