Three days later.
In the distance, it was no longer an endless desolate land. Instead, it was a group of mountains that reached into the sky. Each mountain was not large, but they were very tall. They were like spears that pierced through the heaven and earth.
Thick blood energy enveloped the mountains, forming a red sea of blood energy.
"It is indeed a holy land for practicing hard body skills."
Such a scene of vigorous Qi and blood was not something that a single person could achieve.
Not even Hegemons could do so.
They could have arrived here much earlier, but Gao Wusheng said that flying was not allowed during the pilgrimage. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the sacred mountain.
He was very disdainful of such thoughts.
However, he had no choice. He still had to rely on the other party to lead the way and gather some information. Thus, he could only walk.
On the way, they encountered some troubles, which were all demonic beasts.
Some were strong, some were weak.
However, he did not encounter any Sovereign Realm demonic beasts.
After all, how could they possibly encounter a Sovereign Realm demonic beast in the wilderness?
Monstrous beasts capable of reaching the World level were all Diremonsters or Autarchs amongst monstrous beasts.
It had its own territory and wisdom.
The four men and one woman he had met were all quite strong, and their hard body skills were well practiced.
Of course, this was only in terms of hard body skills. If he really wanted to fight, he could kill these guys in seconds.
"Brother, we've already arrived at the Holy Mountain. Watch more and speak less. Don't offend anyone."
When they arrived at the Sacred Mountain, they were all very nervous about the pilgrimage in their hearts.
It was their first time coming here, so they didn't know much about the place. When someone passed by, Gao Wusheng and the others all stopped in their tracks and retreated to the side, watching them leave.
He was used to being cautious, not daring to offend anyone.
Lin Fan felt regretful. He had already cultivated a tough skill, so why was he still so cowardly?
Sure enough, not everyone was as unyielding as him.
The hard body technique they cultivated was crying.
Gradually.
There were more and more people around. Most of them had come to the Holy Mountain to study.
There really were Sovereigns among them.
In his opinion, there were many Sovereigns, but to these people who didn't even have a Sovereign, it was very rare to see one.
Thus, this Ruler had a smug look on his face as he was surrounded by the crowd.
"Brother, we'll be splitting up here. You're only at the Emperor Heaven Realm, so you need to go there to be tested. We're all World-level cultivators, so we need to go to another place to be tested," Gao Wusheng said.
In the Sacred Mountain, different strengths would be tested in different places.
Of course, the test was simple.
It was a test of whether or not one's hard body skills had been cultivated to a certain level.
"Alright, thank you. If there's anything you can't settle, feel free to look for me." Lin Fan said.
Although these guys were cowards, they were still good people.
Gao Wusheng smiled, not taking Lin Fan's words to heart.
They were all World-level cultivators, while Lin Fan was only at the Emperor Heaven Realm. How could he help them? Perhaps one day, they would be the ones helping him.
Bai Feifei was a little reluctant. "You can't seduce people naked in the future. After all, your body isn't that attractive. You have to train more. A strong and sturdy body is the most fundamental. I don't even dare to touch your little arm. I'm afraid I'll break it."
Interesting.
Lin Fan looked at him and praised, "Right, you are right. But you have to work hard. Your body is not bad, but your face is a little small. If it was bigger, it would be more threatening."
Bai Feifei sighed regretfully. "I've noticed this as well. That's why I've come to the Sacred Mountain. I want to find a cultivation technique that can change myself."
Lin Fan was speechless and could only nod. "Yes, I believe in you. You will definitely be able to find it."
This person was hopeless.
As a girl, why would she cultivate a cultivation technique if she didn't dress up nicely?
If every girl was like this, fireworks would probably be extinct.
"Goodbye!"
Gao Wusheng cupped his fists and led the group to another path.
There were many paths here.
They all corresponded to different strengths.
Very soon, a skinny man appeared. He had a curled moustache on his upper lip, and his small eyes were squinted into a line. However, there was a glint in his eyes, which was quite frightening.
"I'm your guide. Follow me."
As soon as he spoke.
The man placed his hands behind his back and walked forward, maintaining the same distance with the people behind him.
Some of the people who came to the Sacred Mountain to learn liked to show off and wanted to catch up to others. However, no matter how hard they tried, they still maintained the same distance.
Very soon.
A stone staircase appeared. One couldn't see the end of it, and it extended into the air.
"These stone steps are interesting."
Lin Fan thought about the stone steps in his sect's Invincible Peak. That was a place for his junior brothers and sisters to cultivate. Could this be the same as the Invincible Peak?
He stepped on it.
He didn't feel anything.
It seemed like he was thinking too much.
Putong!
Just at that moment, a man beside him squatted down and pressed his hands against the ground.
The man's expression was a little awkward, "My mistake, I thought it was just a normal stone step."
He had lost so much face.
Lin Fan thought about it. Could there really be a problem with the stone steps?
They couldn't even walk properly. Who else could do that?
After a period of time.
The Sacred Mountain guide was still at the front. He would occasionally look back, and although he was expressionless, he was quite satisfied.
This group of people were all in the Emperor Heaven Realm, which was quite satisfactory.
However, this was just the beginning. The important things were still coming up.
After a long while.
The energetic people who started to walk up the stone steps were all panting heavily.
Drip!
Sweat dripped down, drenching the steps.
"Damn, I can't walk anymore. I really can't walk anymore."
Some people just sat down on the stone steps and didn't want to walk anymore. They really couldn't walk anymore. It was too much suffering.
Their cultivations were all in the Emperor Heaven Realm, so how could something like this happen while walking on the stone steps?
It was obvious that there was a pressure covering the stone steps and suppressing them.
Putong!
Bang!
Most people couldn't take it and couldn't walk anymore. They all squatted on the spot and panted.
"Is it so tiring to walk up the steps? You want to enter the Sacred Mountain to study? Wishful thinking. Trash. "The guide turned around and looked at those people who couldn't walk forward in disdain.
"Oh my god, that's too much."
The people who wanted to study at the Sacred Mountain were so furious that they wanted to beat this fellow up.
Did he really not know how tiring it was?
However, there were still some people who gritted their teeth and moved their legs to walk up.
Some people knew that this wasn't a test of strength but willpower.
Lin Fan looked at the scenery around him. The higher he went, the better it was. At the same time, he saw that the Sacred Mountain disciples were all really strong. There were even some people cultivating in the distance.
There weren't any special effects.
When they cultivated, the blood in their bodies turned into blood dragons that wrapped around their bodies. Under the light, their bodies seemed to give off a bright light.
They were tempted.
They wanted to knock them out and steal the cultivation technique.
A long while later.
Bang!
Bang!
Most people fell to the ground and couldn't walk anymore. It was as if their legs were stuck in the stone steps and it took a lot of effort to even lift them.
"No more, if we continue, we'll die."
Some people shouted. They didn't look like Emperor Heaven Realm experts at all.
They just didn't want to walk anymore.
The Holy Mountain guided the people and wanted to stop. It was about time. To these people, this was their limit.
They had only walked 1,000 steps.
Based on what he knew, the Emperor Heaven Realm's record was 1,999 steps.
Those who were able to reach this stage were all good seedlings.
"Err, are we still going? The scenery around is not bad. I want to go up and see what other scenery there is." Lin Fan was really relaxed and didn't sweat at all. Coming to one of the Upper World's four factions as an Outer World native felt incredibly good.
He would have to do bad things right under their noses. Just thinking about it made him feel really excited.
When the people who were paralyzed on the ground heard this, they were all convinced.
Amazing!
So ferocious. He still wanted to walk? Could he continue?
The Sacred Mountain guide looked at Lin Fan in surprise, "You …"
He wanted to say that Lin Fan was quite amazing and that he should stop here.
However, seeing how arrogant Lin Fan was and not putting the examination in his eyes at all, he was naturally annoyed. That was good, he would kill this kid's arrogance.
"Okay, let's go."
After saying this, the Sacred Mountain guide continued to walk up the steps.
Lin Fan followed beside him and looked around.
"When can I learn the Hard Skill?" Lin Fan asked.
The guide had never seen such an arrogant person before, "If you pass the examination, you can learn it. If you can't, then scram."
"Is that so? That's quite amazing. Let's walk faster; this speed is too slow. "Lin Fan sped up, walking up three or four steps with each step.
"Stinking brat." The guide felt quite embarrassed and also sped up.
Very quickly, the two of them disappeared.
The people who were lying on the ground didn't know what had happened and started to talk to each other.
"Amazing, where did this fellow come from?"
After asking around, no one knew who he was.
2,300 steps.
Lin Fan was just so calm and didn't change at all.
He was interested in these stone steps, but unfortunately, he couldn't take them away. If he could bring them back to the sect, it would be great.
Along the way, he had already asked for the guide's name.
Zhou Kunwang.
A disciple of the Sacred Mountain who had reached the World level.
Lin Fan tilted his head, "Can you do it? I see sweat on your forehead."
"Arrogant. Let's go." Zhou Kunwang was quite dissatisfied. Lin Fan was so arrogant.
"Continue."
Lin Fan didn't care. It didn't matter how many steps he climbed.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the 2,900 step.
Zhou Kunwang's expression wasn't quite right. He was slightly pale, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, which dripped down like rain.
The Sacred Mountain's examinations had all ended. Those who met the requirements were accepted, and those who didn't left.
"Zhou Kunwang is in charge of the Emperor Heaven Realm examination. Why hasn't he brought anyone over yet?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, the person in charge of this recruitment.
Peak Ruler Realm cultivation.
Very quickly, someone came and whispered into the middle-aged man's ear.
"Eh?" The middle-aged man was quite surprised. "Let's go take a look."
At the stone steps.
Lin Fan stopped and looked at Zhou Kunwang, who was panting heavily with his hands on his knees. He was about to speak, but Zhou Kunwang didn't give him a chance.
"Yes, continue."
Zhou Kunwang became stubborn. What kind of joke was this? This person was only at the Emperor Heaven Realm, and he couldn't beat him?
"Don't force yourself; I'm really good at climbing stairs," Lin Fan said.
"Cut the crap. Let's go."
Very quickly.
There were already many people watching in the air.
"He's already at the 3,200th step; he's about to reach Zhou Kunwang's limit. Where did that guy come from? He's just at the Emperor Heaven Realm."
"He hasn't even joined the Sacred Mountain and he wants to step on the guide. However, he does have some ability."
3,300th step.
Lin Fan was like normal, but Zhou Kunwang found it hard to even lift his feet. Each step took a long time.
"No, let's just forget about it," Lin Fan said.
Zhou Kunwang was covered in sweat. He lowered his head, who knew what he was thinking about.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Lin Fan asked.
Right now, Zhou Kunwang wanted to beat Lin Fan to death.
Did he not want to say anything?
But how could he say anything?
He was just using his willpower to support himself.
When his willpower collapsed, it would be time for him to collapse.
Just as Zhou Kunwang was in despair, someone patted his shoulder.
"You can go down. I will accompany this little brother." The middle-aged man smiled. He flicked his wrist and Zhou Kunwang floated backwards.
"I will accompany you. Are you okay with that?"
He looked at Lin Fan. What an interesting young man.
Lin Fan said, "Sure, if you don't want to go just say it. I don't mind."
The middle-aged man smiled in a teasing manner, "It is okay, climbing stairs is really interesting. I haven't done it in many years, so I will accompany you."
"Please."
