C19 Ten Thousand Steps

The Seven Stars Sect was located at the top of the Seven Stars Mountain, and there was only one path that led to the sect. When Lin Yi and Zhou Qing arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were already seventy to eighty people gathered there. Obviously, they were the people who were participating in the Seven Stars Sect Assessment this time around.

"Today's test is over. The rest of you, come back tomorrow!"

However, before they could even stand on their heels, a deep and resounding voice resounded from the top of the mountain, clearly entering everyone's ears.

"It can't be, what a coincidence!" Zhou Qing was a bit depressed. He never thought that he would be able to catch up to the other party at the end of the exam when he just arrived.

Lin Yi's face, which was hidden under the cloak, also smiled bitterly.

"It's already evening. Let's wait for tomorrow."

At this time, the seventy to eighty young men and women gathered here were the same. Most of them had disappointed expressions on their faces, but none of them left.

Wu Tie swept his gaze across the crowd and discovered that many people were sitting cross-legged on the bluestone blocks on both sides of the road. After pondering for a moment, he was just about to open his mouth, but he heard Zhou Qing first say that.

"Let's go, we'll wait over there."

Lin Yi was slightly stunned. He looked over and nodded.

The seventy to eighty young men and women quickly found their respective places and sat down cross-legged.

As the night deepened, no one spoke. The night passed peacefully, and it was soon daybreak.

On the second day, when the sky in the east had just turned white, the young men and women who were sitting cross-legged here woke up one by one.

The quiet Seven Stars Mountain immediately became bustling with activity.

"This time, I'm going to enter the Seven Stars Sect even if I have to risk my life!"

"Come on, with your physique, I don't think there's any hope!"

"We'll see if there's any hope!"

A short conversation passed into Lin Yi's ears. He turned around and saw a big man not far away. Beside him was a skinny young man. The words that called themselves father came from the big man's mouth.

"What are you looking at!?" You are not convinced and want to fight with me?! "

Noticing that Lin Yi had turned his head, the burly man immediately glared at him.

With a slight frown, Lin Yi turned his head around and ignored the person.

"Humph!"

The burly man snorted, his unfriendly gaze swept across Lin Yi a few times.

"I say, you're even enduring this?"

Zhou Qing teased and said in a low voice.

Lin Yi looked towards the top of the mountain and said without turning his head, "There's no need to lower yourself to the same level as him."

However, his voice was not soft, and it happened to reach the big man's ears.

The large man suddenly turned his head, his eyes emitting a cold light. Just as he was about to speak, he heard three deep and resounding bell chimes suddenly ring out from the peak of the mountain.

"Starting from today, continue the examination!"

As the bell tolled, the familiar voice from yesterday once again entered the ears of everyone at the foot of the mountain.

"Count yourself lucky!" I'll take care of you when I get to the top of the mountain! "

The big guy turned his head and glared at Lin Yi. Then, he turned around and was the first one to rush to the top of the mountain.

Lin Yi shook his head slightly as he looked at the back of the big guy with an indifferent gaze.

At this moment, an uproar was stirred at the foot of the mountain after the voice sounded. There were seventy to eighty young men and women who were eager to give it a try. Their eyes were filled with a heated glow.

"Brother Zhou, why don't you try?"

Lin Yi turned his head and looked at Zhou Qing, who was also looking at him with passionate eyes but was in no hurry to move, and said with a chuckle.

"Brother Lin isn't in a hurry, what am I in a hurry for?"

Zhou Qing smiled and looked towards the mountain road.

The mountain path to Seven Stars Sect was rumored to be formed by ten thousand levels of stairs. The stairs were straight and one could only vaguely see the scenery of some mountain peaks at first glance.

At this moment, there were already a dozen or so people on the stairs, and they were beginning to climb towards the peak of the mountain.

"The Seven Stars Sect Assessment is not that simple, so this problem will definitely occur on the stairs!"

Lin Yi's eyes flashed. He clearly saw the crowd on the stairs. At first, their speed was very fast, as if they were walking on flat ground. But when they reached a certain point, their speed unconsciously slowed down. It was as if there was some sort of resistance on that flight of steps that made it difficult for them to advance forward.

Boom!

"Ah!

Suddenly, a boom followed by a scream came from the staircase. Everyone at the foot of the mountain looked over and saw a pale cultivator spitting out blood as he flew down the stairs.

"Once again, my Seven Stars Sect Assessment is not an easy matter. If you guys have the attitude of fishing in troubled waters, everyone should leave as soon as possible. Don't throw your lives away again!"

A calm voice was immediately transmitted from the top of the mountain after the young man landed.

At the foot of the mountain, the crowd was completely silent. The cultivator tumbled down the stairs, and at this moment, he had already lost consciousness. The blood stains on the ground caused everyone to feel a chill in their hearts.

"Brother Lin, are we still going to watch?"

At this moment, Zhou Qing suddenly spoke up and his gaze fell on Lin Yi.

After a brief silence, Lin Yi shook his head.

"No need."

With the eruption of his cultivation, a figure of Man in Black suddenly rushed out and stepped onto the ten thousand steps in the blink of an eye.

There were still fifty people left who were attracted by his actions. Their gazes immediately turned towards him.

"Hiss …"

"This person is quite bold, but I wonder if he'll be able to make it to the top!"

"There are always people who feel that they have a good sense of self. They overestimate themselves!"

Some people sneered, as they did not look favorably on the figure of the Man in Black.

"He really went up?"

Zhou Qing was stunned for a while on the flat green rock before he mumbled to himself with a depressed expression.

"No, I want to go too!"

Weng! *

When Lin Yi stepped onto the stairs, he immediately felt a wave of pressure. It descended from the top of the stairs and enveloped his body.

"How amazing!"

A light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, but his speed did not decrease at all. This initial bit of pressure did not affect him at all.

The cultivation of a 9th Grade Martial Disciple was boiling in his body. Lin Yi's body was extremely fast, but it was as if he was walking on flat ground. It seemed that he was about to catch up to the person from before.

"This person's speed, this person …!"

At the foot of the mountain, many people were stunned. In their eyes, the black figure was like a hurricane as he rapidly advanced without any hindrance. Just a glance was enough to catch up to the first batch of people who were walking up the stairs.

"This guy, is he a monster?"

Zhou Qing followed closely behind. When he raised his head and sensed Lin Yi's speed, he immediately became dumbfounded.

The Seven Stars Sect was located at the top of the ten thousand flight of stairs. At the end of the stairs, there was an enormous four-sided cauldron that stood tall and straight.

At this moment, the shadow of the four cauldrons had gradually become clear in Lin Yi's eyes.

"Go up the stairs and light a longevity incense in the cauldron. Then you'll pass the examination." Lin Yi glanced at the top of the mountain and muttered to himself.
