"So fast!"

Many people exclaimed, their eyes becoming somewhat dazed.

After stepping onto the Qianlong Ancient Ladder, the Demon Emperor's son, the Dragon Prince, and Jiang Ning climbed up at an astonishing speed. In just a few moments, they had reached a height of nearly a hundred feet.

Such speed undoubtedly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even the great elder Qiao Yan who was standing at the top of the mountain couldn't help but show a look of approval in his eyes at this moment, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, in front of the ancient stairs, Ji Chen finally started moving.

He was almost the last person to walk up the Qianlong Ancient Stairs.

The moment he stepped onto the Qianlong Ancient Staircase, Ji Chen could feel a terrifying pressure continuously invading his body from all directions, causing his breathing to hold slightly.

But soon, Ji Chen adapted to the intensity of this pressure.

"It doesn't seem as strong as I imagined." He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In fact, it’s not that the pressure is not strong, but the degree of this pressure does not bring much impact on his divine body.

After all, this is a physique that can even block a large amount of the forbidden energy in the Holy Meteorite Mountain.

"Buzz!"

After about a few breaths, Ji Chen took another step and took the second step.

The moment his foot landed, he could clearly feel that although the distance was only a step, the pressure had been increased a lot.

However, this pressure still has no effect on the divine body.

He didn't walk very fast, only taking a step every ten breaths or so.

Ji Chen's idea was simple. He wanted to allow his divine body to gradually adapt to the increasing intensity of the pressure.

Otherwise, if you walk too fast in the early stage, the pressure later on will not allow your body to adapt in time, and the climbing speed will be greatly affected.

He took one step at a time, his steps were very steady. He was not in a hurry, but was making long-term preparations.

In contrast, most of the others have only walked to thirty or forty feet since the start of the assessment. For example, the three top young kings, the Demon Emperor's son, the Dragon Prince, and Jiang Ning, have even walked to more than a hundred feet.

"Buzz!"

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Chen arrived at the 20th zhang position.

He could clearly sense that the intensity of the pressure here was nearly two or three times stronger than at the beginning.

But this level of pressure still failed to have any real impact on him.

The speed of Ji Chen's every step was always the same, neither fast nor slow.

However, overall, he was left far behind by everyone at this moment.

Most of the people who participated in the entrance examination have now reached the fifty-foot position.

Only Ji Chen was still at the twenty-foot mark, which made the contrast very obvious and made him stand out.

"Who is that person?"

"Why are you walking so slowly?"

"At this speed, even if we give him ten days, let alone three days, it would be difficult for him to reach the summit."

"It's probably because the pressure in the ancient stairs is too much for him to bear. This is only the first twenty feet. The further back you go, the stronger the pressure will be. It's absolutely impossible for him to reach the top. I don't think he can even reach the 100-foot position before he is knocked down by the overwhelming pressure."

At this moment, at the bottom of the Qianlong Ancient Stairs, cultivators from all major forces in the five regions of the world gathered here. They all came to escort their own young talents.

Ji Chen, who was left far behind the crowd, soon attracted their attention.

Suddenly, many people couldn't help but start talking.

A middle-aged man from an ancient family said, "I thought my useless son was already pretty bad, but I didn't expect there is a master. Whose child is this?"

At the same time, on the ancient stairs and the platform, several pairs of eyes were paying attention to Ji Chen.

Gu Simiao, the Saint from Zixiao, couldn't help but say, "Although this guy's cultivation is a little low, the intensity of his pressure shouldn't make it so difficult for him to leave, right?"

“Although he is not walking fast, I found that the speed of each of his steps is almost the same. He must be trying to adapt himself better to this pressure.” A young man spoke like this. He is Ye Yunge, the Holy Body from the Eastern Wilderness Xuanyu.

"This little guy must be Ji Chen, right? He is younger than I imagined."

Next to these young talents, the great elder Qiao Yan listened to their discussions and couldn't help but speak.

"His divine body has extraordinary potential, and he has successfully survived the calamity of life-severing. His training value is extremely high, but why didn't he receive a special invitation when Qianlong opened his mansion this time?" Tang Qingman couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

When everyone heard this, they were all confused and looked at Qiao Yan, wanting to get the answer from him.

Qiao Yan was silent for a moment, then he spoke, "Although this physique is famous throughout the five regions of the world, it has too many unstable factors. Throughout history, there has never been a divine body that can successfully cut off the Dao. This means that there are still too many unknowns in his future. No one can say for sure. In addition to the Dao-cutting life calamity, will he also have the Nirvana Saint calamity, or even the emperor life calamity?"

"Earlier, the palace had held a meeting of elders to decide whether to issue a special invitation to the divine body. The final conclusion was that we still know too little about the divine body. This kind of physique has too many uncertain factors, and no one knows whether it can achieve enlightenment."

When they heard this, everyone was shocked. Gu Si Miao said, "So, Qianlong Mansion did not send a special invitation to Ji Chen, but wanted to use this entrance examination to see if he really has the potential to become a Taoist or an emperor?"

"That's right." Qiao Yan nodded.

While they were discussing, the assessment continued.

"Buzz!"

At the position of fifty feet, Ji Chen finally arrived here.

He moved up at the same speed as usual, taking a step every few breaths.

By now, most of the people participating in the assessment have reached the 100-foot mark.

As for the Demon Emperor's son, Jiang Ning, and Prince Long, they had just reached the 200-foot level not long ago, and the gap between them was particularly obvious.

"Did you notice? After reaching a hundred feet, their speed seemed to slow down a lot, including the three of Long Shizi, whose speed also slowed down significantly."

"The higher you go, the stronger the pressure will be. It's natural. It's hard to say whether others can reach the top, but Prince Long and his two companions can definitely do it. The only question is how much time it will take them." An old man said in the square.

"It is said that the fastest person to reach the top in all the previous assessments of Qianlong Mansion was a genius tens of thousands of years ago. He only spent six hours in total. This record has not been broken by anyone so far. I wonder if the three of Long Shizi can break this record today?"

“It’s very difficult! That extraordinary genius back then later became an emperor. Needless to say, he had great potential and talent. It’s almost impossible for anyone to reach the top within six hours and set a faster record.” An old man with white hair and beard shook his head.
