Chapter 453: The “Immortal Path” Assessment Begins
“Immortal inheritance, ascension!”
These eight words were too tempting,
No cultivator could resist such allure!
What is the purpose of cultivating the Dao?
Is it not to ascend to immortality and achieve eternal life?
And now,
As long as one passes the assessment, they can ascend?
“Impossible! If it were that easy to become an immortal, Master wouldn’t have wasted five thousand years seeking the path to immortality!”
The second senior sister, Jiang Yanxi, frowned and said.
“Clearly, there’s something fishy going on!”
Lin Feng’s voice did not hold back,
So everyone present heard him.
Some people immediately dismissed it, thinking nothing of it.
Others, however, shared Lin Feng’s suspicions, feeling that everything seemed too easy!
But soon,
These doubts were cast aside,
As a dazzling golden staircase suddenly appeared before them…
The staircase slowly extended down from the peak of the green mountain,
With celestial light swirling around the steps,
Faintly, the shadows of divine beasts flickered, and the sounds of the immortal path echoed in their ears, with dragons and phoenixes heralding good fortune,
Making everyone feel as if they were in the realm of immortals, as if just taking a breath could lead them to transcendence!
“Immortal… immortal energy! Is this the legendary immortal energy?”
“It really is the inheritance of immortals! It truly is the inheritance of immortals!”
“As long as we pass the assessment, we can ascend in one step!”
Everyone trembled.
Faced with this ethereal scene,
Who could remain calm?
Who could not believe?
“The staircase has a total of one hundred and eight steps!”
“Those who step on the staircase will temper their bones and refine their minds; only those with great talent and perseverance can ascend!”
“Those who can persist to the end of the staircase will receive this immortal inheritance!”
At this moment,
That ancient and weathered voice echoed in everyone’s ears!
As soon as these words were spoken.
“Whoosh~”
Several figures immediately rushed toward the staircase!
In their eyes,
The early bird is the king!
No matter what trials lay ahead on the staircase, they could not afford to fall behind at such a critical moment!
Meanwhile, some others believed that it was best to remain calm at this time.
After all, the immortal hadn’t mentioned any time limit,
They could let others test the waters first and see how things went…
Soon.
“Thud!”
The first person stepped onto the staircase,
This was a martial saint from Earth, with unparalleled physique and immense power, comparable to the Golden Core stage…
He ascended the first ten steps with ease,
But by the eleventh step, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead,
At the twelfth step, the cold sweat intensified!
At the thirteenth step, he suddenly stopped, his body trembling slightly, as if he were experiencing immense pain!
Finally,
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from the staircase!
Following closely behind the martial saint, seven or eight other cultivators faced the same fate!
One of them, a martial god at the early stage, could only reach the thirty-ninth step!
“Wow~”
Seeing this scene,
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
The staircase has a total of one hundred and eight steps!
Yet even a martial god at the early stage could only reach the thirty-ninth step; how strong must one be to complete the entire journey?
This assessment was a bit too terrifying!
“Let me give it a try!”
After seeing that there was no life-threatening danger,
An old monster at the late stage of the Nascent Soul rushed up, reaching the sixty-ninth step before spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling down!
“Every ten steps up the staircase, the pressure from heaven and earth doubles; I simply can’t withstand it!”
“This has nothing to do with perseverance; it’s all about who has stronger power!”
The experienced old monster at the late Nascent Soul stage quickly discerned the staircase’s true nature, his expression filled with unwillingness.
Upon hearing these words,
Many cultivators in the crowd were unwilling to believe it; they had to give it a shot.
One after another, they rushed toward the staircase,
In the end,
Only a few late-stage Out-of-Body cultivators managed to reach the eighty-ninth step,
All the others fell from mid-air, suffering injuries and wailing in pain…
Tang Ziyue, Tang Zitong, Su Yuqing, Su Wenxiang, Tang Ru, and others also tried,
The outcome was the same,
Leaving them with gloomy expressions and a sense of unwillingness.
“It seems only those at the Transformation Stage can meet the requirements!”
At this moment, the old servant from the Rakshasa Sect’s protective path had a glimmer of insight in his eyes!
After observing for a while, he felt he had grasped the situation, so he shot a cold glance at Lin Feng and then rushed toward the staircase.
“Ten steps!”
“Twenty steps!”
…
“Eighty steps!”
“Ninety steps!”
“One hundred steps!”
The protective old servant moved swiftly,
And astonishingly, he reached the one hundred and seventh step before stopping!
He stood on the one hundred and seventh step, his body slightly trembling, seemingly bearing immense pressure, his eyes turning bloodshot!
“Ah!! I am a Transformation Stage powerhouse; how could a mere step on the heavenly staircase possibly affect me?”
The protective old servant suddenly roared,
Trembling, he took the final step!
“Boom!”
In an instant,
An unexpected change occurred!
A flash of golden light appeared,
And the protective old servant’s figure vanished from everyone’s sight.
It was clear,
He had successfully ascended to the one hundred and eighth step!!!
“Wow~”
At that moment,
The crowd erupted in chaos!
Everyone was unable to remain calm, unable to settle down!
He succeeded just like that?
The protective old servant of the Rakshasa Sect was about to receive the immortal inheritance and ascend?
“Damn!”
“You really deserve to die!”
“Seriously, this is even harder to bear than being killed!”
“Woohoo!”
A group of people were incredibly envious, wishing they had the strength of the Transformation Stage!
Some were so jealous they felt their hearts might stop from the pressure!
At this moment,
Huangfu Heng, Nangong Huo, Dr. Annie, and Tang Yunxi were nearly going mad, their eyes bloodshot and breathing rapid!
“Impossible!”
“Absolutely impossible!”
They had been cautiously watching from the side, planning to let the protective old servant test the waters!
Yet the protective old servant succeeded so easily?
“I don’t believe it! The staircase hasn’t dispersed; I must go up too!”
Xiren’s expression turned cold, and he rushed toward the staircase.
In just a short moment,
Xiren also ascended to the one hundred and eighth step, transforming into three beams of golden light, disappearing before everyone’s eyes.
