Mo Yi and Mo Luo Xue finally arrived at the foot of the Immortal Mountain at a leisurely pace. After seeing the state of the Immortal Mountain, they couldn't help but be shocked. Jade-paved steps circled the Immortal Mountain, and this kind of large-scale project, if built by manpower, would take years to complete. This kind of engineering feat was comparable to the Great Wall of China in their past lives.
But those damn cultivators had completed the construction in just one night. What Grandmaster of the Mixed Yuan, what Martial Arts Grandmaster, were just jokes in front of cultivators.
"The Immortal Mountain is about four thousand meters high, and this staircase circles the entire mountain. It will probably take a while to climb it. Besides, the trials of the Ascension Ceremony are definitely not as simple as climbing a mountain... This staircase is strange." Mo Yi pondered for a moment and said to Mo Luo Xue.
"Just climb it." Mo Luo Xue said softly.
"Yes... Just climb it." Mo Yi was stunned by Mo Luo Xue's words, then he was relieved. "The cultivators must have built the staircase for us to climb, as for any oddities along the way, it's not something we can guess. We have to experience it ourselves."
Thousands of people stood there, they looked at each other, no one dared to take the first step. The white jade steps looked like an abyss in their eyes, once they stepped on them, they wouldn't be able to get out.
At this time, some people were scared, they quietly left the crowd and retreated to the primeval forest. They were shocked by the blood and cruelty along the way, now they had a chance to escape, and they didn't hesitate to leave.
After most of the people who backed out left, there were only seven hundred or so left at the foot of the Immortal Mountain, but it was still a huge number.
Who would be the first to take the plunge? This was the biggest problem they faced right now.
"Take care." Mo Luo Xue said softly.
Mo Yi felt the figure on horseback in front of him disappear in a flash. At the same time, a graceful figure flew out from the dark crowd. Mo Luo Xue didn't hesitate to step onto the jade steps!
Mo Luo Xue, who had stepped onto the jade steps, suddenly paused for a moment, then she flew upwards at an even faster speed! The speed of the Mixed Yuan Grandmaster was fully unleashed, and in just a few breaths, Mo Luo Xue had climbed hundreds of meters.
Mo Luo Xue's action was like a fuse igniting a bomb. Several more black shadows darted out from the crowd and stepped onto the jade steps. Similar to Mo Luo Xue, they all paused noticeably after stepping onto the jade steps, then flew upwards at even faster speeds!
Mo Yi was one of those few people, he didn't hesitate to jump out of the crowd and onto the jade steps. The moment he touched the jade steps, a piece of information mysteriously appeared in his mind.
【The Immortal Path has three trials, each more difficult than the last. This is the first trial. The one who reaches the halfway point of the "Jade Disk Immortal Path" first will be considered "Superior," followed by the next person in line. On the Jade Disk Immortal Path, no harming others is allowed, no using any vehicles is allowed, and no taking any external substances is allowed. All relies solely on one's own strength.】
It was no wonder that everyone who stepped onto the jade steps ran as fast as they could, everyone wanted to be the "Superior" as stated in that piece of information.
Mo Yi stared at the ghostly figure in the distance, he was lost in thought.
With the first person taking the plunge, others immediately followed suit. Everyone scrambled to climb the jade steps. After receiving the information, they all ran like crazy.
But strangely, some people were bounced back by an invisible force just as they stepped onto the jade steps! They refused to believe it and tried again, only to be bounced back once more, as if an invisible wall separated them from the Immortal Mountain.
"Why! Why!" A scholarly man trembled with anger in front of the jade steps. He tried again, but the result was the same as the previous attempts... The Immortal Path rejected him.
"We... don't have enough immortal destiny." An old man beside him chuckled bitterly, he was a Mixed Yuan Grandmaster of the martial path, yet he was helpless in the face of this Immortal Path. Just this one step, separated them from heaven and man.
The scholarly man watched the people who were climbing quickly, his anger drove him to dig his nails into his palm, crimson blood flowed out, yet he was oblivious to it.
"I don't accept it!" He roared, then tried again, but the result was still disappointing.
Similar to the scholarly man, there were hundreds of others, some, like the scholarly man, refused to believe it and kept trying, while others accepted their fate and left dejectedly.
On the Jade Disk Immortal Path, another peculiar sight unfolded. Some people barely stepped onto the Jade Disk Immortal Path before they were stuck, as if there was a boulder pressing down on them, their legs were like sinking into mud, unable to move an inch.
But some people walked as if they were flying, as if they had a special BUFF on the Immortal Path, and there was even a lame man who stepped onto the Immortal Path and ran faster than a Martial Arts Grandmaster! He laughed out loud as he left countless people behind and soared upwards.
Mo Yi ran the whole way, he deliberately slowed down his speed and stayed at the back of the line. He opened his eyes wide and scanned the people around him. After making sure that he hadn't found the person he was looking for, he accelerated, catching up to the group in front of him in a moment, then he looked again, then accelerated. Everyone looked at the young man strangely, he maintained a jog yet constantly surpassed the people ahead of him, the Immortal Path that made countless people unable to move an inch was like a flat road in his eyes.
At the front of the Immortal Path, there were dozens of figures chasing each other.
Mo Luo Xue was one of them, she looked at the figures in front of her, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, she was extremely agile and had unleashed all the speed of the Mixed Yuan Grandmaster, but she couldn't catch up to those few people ahead of her.
A dark-skinned man at the very front turned his head and looked at Mo Luo Xue, then grinned, "Little sister, not bad, you can actually keep up with Big Brother's pace, maybe I can consider having a romantic interlude with you."
Mo Luo Xue simply ignored the man's filthy words, she sneered and continued on her way.
The man was embarrassed, he still had a kind smile on his face, but in his heart, he was already imagining countless scenes of imprisonment and training.
Ignoring the dirty and ugly man, among the top group of people, there was only one woman, Mo Luo Xue, all the men looked at her in surprise. Some people suddenly recognized Mo Luo Xue as the legendary "monster" who had spread widely in the primeval forest, they all secretly remembered Mo Luo Xue's face in their hearts.
"Oh, oh? You're okay, miss." A frivolous voice came from in front of Mo Luo Xue, Mo Luo Xue looked back in surprise. A man in white clothes who was in the front row deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Mo Luo Xue.
Mo Luo Xue frowned and slightly pulled away from the man, "Who are you?"
The man in white was stunned, then he scratched the back of his head and laughed carelessly, "It's normal that you don't recognize me, but your brother and I are old friends, I stitched up your wound."
Mo Luo Xue was taken aback, she subconsciously touched her neck, there was a scar there that hadn't been stitched up yet.
"Just call me Yaoshi." Yaoshi said with a smile, he extended his hand to Mo Luo Xue.
Mo Luo Xue shook Yaoshi's hand unnaturally, then immediately retracted her hand.
"Where is your brother?" Yaoshi looked around and didn't see Mo Yi, so he asked.
"I don't know, maybe he went back, maybe he died." Mo Luo Xue turned her head slightly, not wanting to talk about this topic.
"Mo Yi brother is so lucky! He actually has a tsundere sister." Yaoshi sighed inwardly, all sorts of envy, jealousy, and hatred arose in his heart.
