ished speaking, Zhou Mengyu's parents and in-laws rushed to the hospital by car. After arriving, they first went to visit Zhou Mengyu in the intensive care unit.Wan Gui Fen, as she had a natural birth...The ripples flowed smoothly into this body, without even opening her eyes, she felt suffocated. The moment her eyes opened, she was sure she was in the water, and two people were tightly hugging her legs, dragging her to the dark bottom of the water.
The ripples pushed slightly, straining against the ropes binding her hands. She slid her hands through the water, twisting her body, using the current to pull closer the two people holding her legs. One person landed a punch, knocking them unconscious. With her legs free, she kicked powerfully, surging to the surface before she ran out of breath in her lungs.
"Hurry! The incense is about to go out!"
A cold voice rang out beside Ripples.
She glanced at the shore less than a hundred meters away and immediately waved her arms, swimming with all her might towards it, then climbed ashore.
"Time's up!"
The ripples lay weakly on the stony shore, gasping for breath, barely alive.
"Gather!"
A cold voice rang out once more.
The ripples didn't dare to delay, immediately rolled over and sat up, then with the other five people quickly stood in a row. Everyone's clothes were wet, apparently all came back to life from the lake.
A one-armed man in a purple robe stood before the six people, his sharp gaze sweeping over them one by one before he spoke.
"Congratulations on passing the entrance exam. You have proven your worth and earned the opportunity to move on to the next stage of learning. We hope you will continue your journey at Yinlou smoothly."
All six listened with impassive faces, none speaking.
"From now on, you won't see me again. Other masters will take over your training. Good luck to you all!"
After the one-armed man finished speaking, he got into a carriage, while the six of them got into another. Once the doors were closed, their faces showed a hint of relief.
The ripples took the opportunity to look around, discovering that the six people who got into the carriage were four men and two women. The girl sitting next to her was just a teenager, about thirteen or fourteen years old. At this time, she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Eleven, you're actually alive this time Six and Seven are dead because of you"
A loud, quacking voice broke the silence in the carriage.
The ripples didn't initiate the conversation. She had just confirmed that the body she was currently borrowing was at most twelve years old. It was slender, only 1.5 meters tall, and her gray outfit looked loose on her frame, especially after getting wet; it clung uncomfortably to her skin.
Just now she took her own pulse and discovered that she didn't have any internal energy, but there was a very domineering medicinal power in her body. It was just a small amount, probably having entered her body recently, and it hadn't had much effect on her body for now. What would happen later, she didn't know.
"Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you deaf"
The boy's voice sounded again.
A girl by her side lightly nudged her, and she turned to look at the boy who had asked the question. He was a young boy, no more than fifteen, with a youthful face that stared intently at hers.
"Didn't you see No one is coming up anymore."
The ripples spoke, but her voice was a little hoarse.
"Hmph! Your luck won't always be this good!"
The boy said dismissively.
Ripples glanced at the other person, but didn't respond. Instead, he closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage wall, beginning to sift through the useful information he had received from the stone grinder.
She is currently in a world of ancient times, where people value martial arts. There are empires, the martial arts world, and many forces that exist outside of both. The place she was sent to is the number one building in the world, the Heaven's Stairway.
It is said that the founder of the world's first building was a Taoist priest. He built this building in order to become an immortal, and for this, he searched everywhere for ways to achieve immortality. However, it is unknown whether this Taoist priest ultimately achieved his goal.
Over nearly a century of development, Tianxia No.1 Tower has become a powerful force. Mount Hongmeng became the origin of Tianxia No.1 Tower. After three generations, a city formed near Mount Hongmeng, called Loucheng by the people.
Tianxia First Tower was divided into the Ming Lou and the Yin Lou. The Ming Lou was in plain sight, with the Cai Bu responsible for earning gold and silver, the Xin Bu responsible for gathering information, the Wu Bu responsible for handling martial arts affairs, and the Shu Bu responsible for education.
The Hidden Pavilion is the back face of the Bright Pavilion. The Hidden Pavilion is responsible for everything except what appears on the surface. It protects the First Floor Under Heaven, supervises the Bright Pavilion, cultivates talents needed by the First Floor Under Heaven, carries out assassinations, infiltrations, and intelligence gathering, etc. The Hidden Pavilion is the true foundation of the First Floor Under Heaven.
Of the first two taskmasters, the first became a member of the Minglou's martial arts department. She used her authority to learn about the existence of Yinlou, but before she could delve deeper, she was killed.
And the second tasker, based on the information provided by the first tasker, went straight to the hidden tower after entering the realm. However, he failed to pass the selection of the hidden tower and was backstabbed before his time, going offline prematurely.
Ripples is the third tasker. After being sent into this dimension by the stone mill, she replaced the girl who should have died and was called Girl Number Eleven.
"Ripple, after I send you in, our connection will be hindered. I will keep an eye on your mission progress. If something goes wrong, you should leave the borrowed body, and I will bring you back."
"I understand. Does this body you've chosen have any wishes"
Before entering, she still asked a question.
The little girl's only wish was to live.
The stone mill sighed.
"I tried my best to let her live a full life."
I will also try my best to contact you.
Then the ripples were sent into the little girl's body by the millstone. She didn't even have a name, only a code. It was evident that only those who lived to the end got a name.
The carriage traveled for half an hour before stopping. The door was opened, and Ripple got off the carriage with everyone else.
"Go back and rest. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Zangong Pavilion to select martial arts techniques."
A man in black robes stood before a great hall and spoke to the six ripples.
"Yes!"
Six people respectfully replied, then led by the boy who had spoken before, they filed into the side hall.
The corridor of the side hall was dim, with a candlestick every three meters. The copper candlesticks held thick white candles that barely illuminated the path ahead. Ripples acutely felt someone observing their group from the shadows.
She feigned ignorance and watched as the boy at the front stopped in front of a stone gate marked "No. 1". He inserted the stone tablet hanging from his waist into the slot below the number plate, the gate swung open, and he walked inside.
Then came number two, three, four, and five. The girl who had been sitting next to her entered room number five. Ripple then entered room number six. This must be based on the assessment ranking.
She was the last one to disembark before the candles burned out, so she became Number Six. If she wasn't mistaken, this would be her code name from now on, unless she passed all the tests and truly became a member of the Hidden Pavilion.
With a click, the stone door shut behind her. The ten-square-meter space contained only a stone bed with a set of azure bedding upon it.his original world. He hadn't been killed or left to die without a trace. He thought about the other person's last words:“This time, the Queen is only giving you a lesson. Take your time and feel the...
