Walking on the mountain road

"Let's go."

That Jindan senior was right, if you can't even endure this little hardship, how can you become an immortal?

In addition to the spiritual root test at the beginning, it is the first and easiest level for cultivation qualifications.

The remaining levels should be more difficult than the last, so as to leave good seeds for cultivating immortality.

Even the eight or nine-year-old children who had not yet introduced Qi into their bodies walked forward resolutely.

How could adults like them be frightened by this mountain road?

Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao walked towards the mountain gate in the clouds and mist of the high mountains together.

This is a long stone staircase, no one knows how many steps there are.

However, it is estimated that there are at least 10,000 levels.

Although it seems that the Tianyun Sect's mountain gate is not far from them, everyone can see it.

Isn’t there a saying that says, “Looking at the mountains and chasing the dead horse?”

In fact, after walking for almost half an hour, they found that the mountain gate still seemed far away from them.

This is second and most important. As they walked, they found that their legs were getting heavier and heavier, and it became more and more difficult to lift their legs every time.

On the contrary, those children who have not yet introduced the Qi into their bodies are not affected in any way.

However, they were exhausted when they climbed here. Even if those children were determined and their physical strength could not keep up, they could only walk for a while and rest. Some of them were even so tired that they did not want to take another step and cried and chose to give up.

In this way, children and adults actually travel about the same distance.

The reason why monks like Zhuzhu are on par with a group of children who have not yet introduced Qi into their bodies is not because they are not physically strong enough to move their legs.

But the further they went up, the more they felt a pulling force on the stone steps below, making them unable to lift their legs upward.

The higher you go, the greater the pulling force is.

From the beginning it was easy, then gradually became difficult, and when there were still more than a hundred steps away from the mountain gate, I was almost stuck to the stone steps and could no longer lift my legs.

What's more, some people were directly affected by the pulling force of the stone steps and lay on the stone steps unable to get up.

This situation is also equivalent to failing the trial.

Only then did everyone realize that if they could not withstand the pulling force of the stone steps and fell to the ground, the pulling volume of the stone steps would increase and the pulling force would also increase.

So be sure to hold on to your posture and not fall, otherwise it will be the same as failing the trial.

Seeing that the Tianyun Sect's mountain gate was right in front of them, Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao planned to work together. Hand in hand, they resisted the strong force generated by the stone steps under their feet and stepped forward with their right legs.

As soon as the right leg stood forward, the two of them pushed the left leg forward together...

Sweat had already soaked through their clothes, and even condensed into large beads of sweat dripping on the stone steps.

The two of them turned a deaf ear and saw only the stone steps in front of them.

One step, two steps, three steps...

From the last remaining one hundred stone stairs, it gradually became ninety-nine, ninety-eight, ninety-seven...

They didn't know how much time was left, how many people were behind them, or how many people were passing in front of them. They only focused on the stone steps in front of them.

It was as if those stone steps were mountains, requiring the two of them to work together to climb them.

Of course, they have indeed climbed many "mountains" together, but there are still more "mountains" in front of them, and they need to continue to work together to complete them.

Unconsciously, they surpassed more and more people.

Gradually we are getting closer and closer to the mountain gate, and we have reached the foot of the mountain gate, only ten steps away from the platform in front of the mountain gate.

However, Chen Xuejiao suddenly ran out of spiritual energy and slowed down a bit. Zhuzhu and her could not maintain their body shape and leaned back...

Zhuzhu was so anxious that she stretched out a hand to support her on the ground as she leaned back. She could not let her body fall down on the stone steps.

Otherwise, they will be firmly "stuck" by the stone steps and unable to get up.

At this critical moment, someone behind them suddenly stretched out two hands to support their fallen bodies.

Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao quickly regained their balance and stood upright with the help of "good Samaritans".

Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao turned back at the same time, wondering which kind person had saved them.

Unexpectedly, what they saw were the Han brothers and sisters.

Han Luyao was looking at her brother angrily: "Brother, why did you save them? Just let them fall."

"It will be us if they fall down." Han Lufeng said calmly.

After hearing the conversation between the brother and sister, Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao were originally full of gratitude, but suddenly only five points were left.

But I still have to thank Han Lufeng. Without him, they would most likely fail the trial today.

"Thank you, Brother Han. We owe you a favor. If we are needed in the future, we will do our best to do so."

"My eldest brother doesn't need it. Let's go quickly. A good dog won't block the way."

Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao hugged their fists, ignored Han Luyao's scolding, and continued to move forward hand in hand.

There are only ten levels left, and only half a stick of incense left. As long as they work hard, they can hope to pass this trial.

At the same time, Han Lufeng behind them tightened her grip on Han Luyao on the left: "Follow me, we'll be there soon."

Chen Xuejiao no longer had any spiritual power or strength, and the muscles in her entire body were trembling.

There was not much spiritual energy left in Zhuzhu's body, but in order to pass the test together, she injected part of the spiritual energy into Chen Xuejiao's body.

"Jiaojiao, we don't have much spiritual energy left, and the trial time is coming soon. We can no longer go step by step as leisurely as before. How about we give it a try?"

"How do you spell it? I'll listen to you."

Although Chen Xuejiao has better qualifications than Zhuzhu, she has never suffered much except when she was chased by Ye Lan. Even her cultivation level is not as good as that of Zhuzhu. The two of them join hands this time for the trial.

Zhuzhu became the backbone.

"Rush over in one go. Although the process will be difficult and painful, don't waste your time and energy. Do you dare?"

"Dare you." Chen Xuejiao knew they had no time, and Han Lufeng behind her had already dragged Han Luyao to catch up.

Han Luyao has a brother who has perfect Qi cultivation to rely on, but the two of them have to rely on themselves.

"Okay, I said three two one, let's rush over together."

"Three two one——"

As soon as Zhuzhu finished speaking, Chen Xue and she started to use the remaining spiritual energy in their bodies at the same time. Relying on the only spiritual energy in their bodies, they turned into spiritual power. They took ten steps in a row, successfully passed the stone steps and fell on the platform.

The huge pulling force at that moment pulled all the muscles of the body downwards, causing them pain as if their bones and flesh were being peeled off.

The pain is extremely painful, but the pleasure is also truly pleasurable.

"Zhuzhu, we did it." Chen Xuejiao was very excited.

"Get up quickly, let's cross the mountain gate quickly and then rest."

Zhuzhu pulled up the limp Chen Xuejiao and walked towards the mountain gate.

There were many people around like them who had just passed the stone steps and fell to the ground limply.

The mountain gate is right in front of you. If you want to rest, you have to rest inside. Zhuzhu doesn't want to fail.

So even though her whole body was sore and she had almost no strength to lift herself up, she still pulled Chen Xuejiao into the mountain gate.

"No. 249, No. 250..."

There is a Jindan Zhenren and two late-stage foundation-building monks stationed at the gate of Tianyun Sect.

A foundation-building monk announced the number of people, and a foundation-building monk distributed tokens to them.

By coincidence, Zhuzhu got 250 digital tokens.

The foundation-building monk who handed out the token saw that the two girls who passed the test were as beautiful as flowers. His eyes suddenly lit up and his attitude was very kind: "The two junior sisters can go to Qili Pavilion not far ahead to rest. Next time."

The gate is right there.”

"Thank you, senior."

Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao continued to move forward, and when they arrived at Qili Pavilion, they found that there were already more than two hundred people who had passed the test.

At this time, everyone is hurrying to adjust their breath or take a rest, and no one wastes time looking around.

Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao also sat on the floor, each holding a medium-grade spiritual stone in their hands and began to absorb spiritual energy and adjust their breath.

Soon the pure spiritual energy of the middle-grade spiritual stone refilled the dry Dantian.

Except for the muscles that are still trembling slightly, other parts of the body have basically been repaired.

Nearly four thousand people have gathered here in Qili Pavilion.

This is the final number of people who passed the second trial.

More than 10,000 people, two-thirds were directly eliminated.

No one is proud of the remaining third, because there are still two crucial levels waiting for them.
