The only ones affected were those with ulterior motives.

For example, the cultivators of the Xueyang Sect who had infiltrated the crowd or an ordinary-looking guy standing in the middle of the crowd.

In the sky above the palace, many cultivators had already flown into the air on their swords while waiting for the Heavenly Gate to open.

It was to enter the Heavenly Gate as soon as possible.

Lu Yuan had also disguised his identity and mixed into the crowd.

To be on the safe side, Lu Yuan even disguised himself as a cultivator from another sect.

He was currently disguised as a cultivator from the Tianji Sect.

As for whether he was worried that he would be seen through by the cultivators of the Tianji Sect, Lu Yuan was not worried about that at all.

After all, everyone was too busy fighting for themselves now, and the assessment content of the Immortal Ascension Assembly was not to compare with others.

Instead, there was a clear standard to upkeep.

Since the cultivators of the Immortal Ascension Assembly weren’t competitors, there was no need to fight to the death, and there was no need to keep each other in check.

Thus, Lu Yuan’s disguise appeared very natural. Moreover, Lu Yuan did not just disguise his appearance. He had also disguised his divine soul and golden core, and even his divine abilities were almost identical to the cultivators of the Tianji Sect.

At this moment, even if a Tianji Sect cultivator came to his side, Lu Yuan would definitely not expose himself.

The Tianji Sect was an array formation sect, and Lu Yuan happened to somewhat know about array formations.

However, even though Lu Yuan had already made such complete preparations, his heart was still not too relaxed.

Lu Yuan looked at the huge Heavenly Gate above his head and felt a little uneasy.

The source of this uncertainty came from the fact that he was unable to obtain specific information about the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

Was there someone invigilating the Immortal Ascension Assembly or was there no invigilator? If there was someone invigilating the exam, then what was the cultivation of the invigilator?

Lu Yuan did not know, and it was already out of Lu Yuan’s control. That was the reason why he had to act steadily.

Fortunately, his plan had taken into account the situation of someone invigilating the exam and had come up with a very detailed response.

The only uncertainty was the invigilator’s cultivation. That was the root cause of Lu Yuan’s uneasiness.

Lu Yuan was confident that he could fool all Nascent Soul cultivators. However, Lu Yuan was not confident that he could completely deceive an Apotheosis Stage cultivator, especially if the other party was specifically targeting him.

Therefore, as long as there were no Apotheosis Stage cultivators in the Immortal Ascension Assembly, there would be no problem with his plan.

Nevertheless, even if an Apotheosis Stage powerhouse really appeared, it would not matter. That was because Lu Yuan had a corresponding plan for that.

As all the cultivators waited nervously, three dull bell rings suddenly resounded from the Heavenly Gate in the sky above the palace.

The sound of the bell, which was only audible to cultivators, spread out like invisible waves.

Then, the Heavenly Gate slowly opened.

Seeing that the Heavenly Gate had opened, the cultivators swarmed up and flew toward it.

The densely packed scene immediately made the commoners in the Imperial capital reveal envious expressions.

They could not see the Heavenly Gate, but they could still see the cultivators.

The scene of hundreds of cultivators rising into the sky at the same time still gave the commoners a great shock.

After witnessing the scene of countless cultivators flying in the air, many commoners thought to themselves, “Is this the difference between mortals and immortals?”

Among the hundreds of cultivators who had entered the Heavenly Gate, Lu Yuan had very cleverly chosen to stay in the middle of the group.

His position would not be too conspicuous, but it would not be too far behind either.

Only by hiding in the crowd could his plan go smoothly.

After all, people easily paid attention to the first place these days, be it first from the front or first from the back.

Not long after, Lu Yuan followed a large group of cultivators and quickly entered the Heavenly Gate.

As soon as they entered the Heavenly Gate, everyone saw an incomparably huge inverted mountain appear in front of them.

There was a long flight of stairs at the bottom of the mountain.

The stairway was the Immortal Ladder.

As soon as the cultivators entered the Heavenly Gate, they found that their bodies began to fall involuntarily.

In the end, they all stood on the sea of clouds in front of the Immortal Ladder.

Some cultivators even wanted to try flying.

However, they discovered that there seemed to be some kind of powerful restriction there that prevented everyone from riding their swords.

Lu Yuan was not too surprised by this.

It was a no-fly zone. It was normal, given that they were expected to climb the Immortal Ladder.

Some cultivators who had long known the rules of the Immortal Ladder test observed for a moment before walking straight toward the Immortal Ladder test.

The first batch of courageous people had appeared.

Among the group of people, Lu Yuan saw several familiar figures.

Bai Dafei, Mu Qiqi, Shan Yao, and Xu Wan’er were among the first batch of cultivators.

The first batch of people was not many; there were only 20 people.

However, the 20 people did not consist of any underdogs.

The ones with the lowest cultivation were actually Shan Yao and Xu Wan’er.

The others had basically reached the Core Formation Stage.

Bai Dafei and Mu Qiqi were among the Core Formation Stage cultivators.

Lu Yuan was not surprised that the two of them broke through to the Core Formation Stage.

After all, those two people were not simple.

After the 20 people set off, they soon began to climb.

In the beginning, everyone’s climbing speed was about the same.

However, after reaching the 30th floor, everyone’s speed began to differ.

What was surprising was that the person who climbed the fastest among the group of cultivators was not Mu Qiqi, who had the highest cultivation.

It was Shan Yao, who had the lowest cultivation level.

The little girl seemed to be unable to feel the pressure on her body as she ran up the mountain.

Unknowingly, she became the first person to climb the mountain.

The others looked at Shan Yao and began to whisper.

“Where did this female cultivator come from?”

“I don’t know. The clothes she’s wearing aren’t the clothes of the righteous sects. Could she be from other small sects?”

“A cultivator from a small sect can surpass the prodigies of our sect? I think she’s probably the disciple of some patriarch in secluded cultivation, and it just so happened that she came out this time.”

“Strange. Have you seen Fu Jiu of the Shixian Sect? Why is he not among the cultivators this time?”

“Fellow Daoist, your news is too outdated. Almost everyone knows about Fu Jiu’s death. It’s said that he was robbed and killed by a Nascent Soul Stage bone demon in the Forbidden Area.”

“However, Fu Jiu is also quite impressive. In the end, he died together with the other party.”

Hearing that Fu Jiu had perished together with a Nascent Soul Stage bone demon, the cultivators around sighed.

On one hand, they lamented that Fu Jiu had died too early and missed this meeting.

On the other hand, they were amazed by Fu Jiu’s power. He could actually eliminate a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse as a Core Formation Stage cultivator.

When Lu Yuan heard the cultivators mention Fu Jiu, he immediately took a step away from them guiltily.

After all, whether it was Fu Jiu or the so-called Nascent Soul Stage bone demon, they were all dealt with by Lu Yuan.

However, in order to avoid being exposed, Lu Yuan chose to fake the scene as a scene of Fu Jiu and the bone demon dying together.

Just as everyone was sighing with emotion, the first batch of people who had passed the Immortal Ladder test appeared….
