Ye Yuxi's gaze only stayed on Cao Cheng's cheek for a moment, and then turned slightly to look behind Cao Cheng.

This is a stone platform with only about a hundred square meters, which is two circles smaller than the wide worship platform below.

On this small table, there were seven or eight young people sitting cross-legged, including Liu Zixiong who just went down to deliver the message.

It's just that except for Liu Zixiong, the other young people sat cross-legged and didn't pay attention to this side at all.

"These are the core disciples of the first-class sect in Nanwang City, with extraordinary backgrounds." Ye Pianruo whispered as she stood beside Ye Yuxi.

Although these people are the same as Tianjiao and practice in the same place, there are still differences in their identities.

This can be seen at the practice site.

Ordinary second-rate and third-rate forces, as well as Tianjiao from small places like Luoyan City can only practice in the areas on both sides of the valley.

Those with a little talent can go up to the altar.

Only Tianjiao with top-level aptitude can step over the Nine Heavens and come to this rooftop that attracts the attention of thousands of people.

Of course, Ye Yuxi didn't think that being here was so extraordinary.

Her gaze naturally fell to the direction on the other side of the platform.

There, there is an illusory area without artificial steps, which is directly connected to the mountain.

Strange spiritual power fluctuations interfered with the line of sight, and the real face of the mountain could not be discerned with the naked eye, but intuition told Ye Yuxi that the real talent competition should be related to this strange area.

Cao Cheng looked at Ye Yuxi who had come to the rooftop, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, he turned slightly and raised his arms, "Miss Ye, please, let me see Miss Ye's amazing talent!"

When speaking, Cao Cheng deliberately emphasized the following words, and glanced at Ye Pianruo.

"How?" Ye Yuxi raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't understand the deep meaning of Cao Cheng's words.

"Pianruo, your friend, your knowledge is a little shallow." Cao Cheng obviously has no interest in explaining.

Ye Pianruo was about to explain the rules of talent competition to Ye Yuxi, when Liu Zixiong who was beside him chuckled lightly.

"Is this the first time for Miss Ye to come here to comprehend enlightenment? The competition in the ruins is very simple. Whoever can walk further on the mountain road above will have higher aptitude."

The direction Liu Zixiong indicated was also the mountain area that Ye Yuxi had noticed just now.

"Climbing to the sky in nine steps is just a warm-up. Real talent competition is not a child's play. Don't say that I, Cao Cheng, bully women." Cao Cheng snorted, stepped forward, and went directly to the other side of the climbing platform, "Senior Brother Liu , I’m sorry for your trouble, but let everyone see just how talented this Miss Ye of the Heavenly Spirit Realm is.”

Liu Zixiong nodded, raised his hand and slammed a wave of spiritual power on a round stone plate on the right.

There was a buzzing sound, and Ye Yuxi realized that the seemingly random stone plate was engraved with complex patterns, and with the injection of Liu Zixiong's spiritual power, those patterns lit up one after another.

"Miss, this is a video formation, and the impact of the next talent competition will be presented on a video tablet." Ye Pianruo whispered.

Ye Yuxi nodded lightly. She had heard Long Xiaopang mention a formation like this before. It used some principles of the psychedelic formation, and it was not complicated.

Ye Pianruo finished explaining the stone plate, glanced at Cao Cheng's back, and said solemnly: "Miss, the talent competition here is called the eighteen steps of hell. If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured."
