The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 34: The Road to Self-Reflection (Please Read!)

Xuanming Sect.

As the morning light breaks, a faint purple haze appears on the horizon. In the distance, towering palaces stand on the top of the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

"The Xuanming Sect's mountain gate is ahead!"

Lu Taoyu stood in front of the spirit ship and spoke loudly towards the huge mountain gate in front, with a hint of pride in his tone.

"You will climb up the stairs at the mountain gate in a moment. Reaching the hundredth step will be considered a success, and a teleportation array will then take you to the main hall! You have three hours to complete the climb. If you exceed the time limit or fail to reach the hundredth step, you will be teleported to the foot of the mountain! A spirit ship will take you back!"

"A reminder to you all: don't be arrogant. Stay true to your heart, and you will succeed!"

After Lu Taoyu finished speaking, the spirit ship slowly landed.

Then a huge force lifted them up and they soon arrived in front of the huge mountain gate.

There is a huge plaque on the mountain gate with three golden characters "Xuanming Sect" written on it, which gives a sense of oppression to all the monks who look up.

"Begin climbing! One hundred steps will lead to success! Time limit: three hours!"

At this time, an old voice containing a hint of Taoism came slowly from the temple on the mountain and echoed among the mountains.

After hearing this, some brave monks took the lead and stepped onto the stairs, but soon gravity bent their bodies hard, and they had to use all their strength every time they lifted a foot.

Many monks who were eager for quick success were directly forced to their knees by gravity, and their knees hit the stone slabs hard.

Chen Jinshu looked at the countless stairs above him, and a sense of oppression surged in his heart.

"Now that we've come this far, we can't give up!"

She suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, relaxed her body and mind, looked at the first step, raised her hand and stepped on it.

The whole person seemed to have passed through a barrier, and then a hundred pounds of gravity pressed down on her.

Her feet were also firmly stuck to the stone slab.

"So much pressure?"

She remembered that her second uncle had learned that the gravity of the first twenty floors was about fifty kilograms, and it increased by ten kilograms thereafter.

This time the first twenty floors have a gravity of 100 kilograms?
Her face was pale, and her legs were shaking so much that she could hardly stand. She then slowly injected the rejuvenation technique into her feet.

The pressure on the legs was finally relieved. While climbing the stairs, one cannot take elixirs or use spiritual weapons, but can use magic.

Then she stepped onto the second staircase.

Gradually, she adapted to the pressure of one hundred kilograms of gravity, gradually found the rules, and her climbing speed gradually increased.

Soon she reached the twentieth floor.

Just as her feet stepped onto the 20th step, she suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar environment, which was the Chen family lobby.

She returned to the day when she refused to marry the Lin family's broken-armed eldest son. The painter in front of her was drawing a portrait of her.

Her mother, Chen An, was looking at her with satisfaction.

Opposite him was the smiling face of the patriarch.

"I won't marry!" She reacted immediately and roared around, stabbing the golden needle in her hand towards the painter in front of her.

The golden needle fell, and the scene around her quickly dissipated.

In an instant she was back on the 20th step.

She breathed heavily, then looked straight ahead and began to climb.

Hearing visions will bring to light the most impressive images in the mind, thus influencing the mind.

She had long since let go of the rejection of the marriage proposal and was only focused on the Dao, so she was naturally less affected.

When we reached the twenty-first step, the gravity had indeed increased by ten pounds.

However, she had already adapted to a gravity of 100 kilograms, so adding another 10 kilograms did not make much difference.

She began to guide the spiritual power in her dantian and slowly inject it into her limbs, so that the pressure on her body would be relieved.

After a while, an hour passed, and the sky gradually cleared up. The white mist between the mountains began to dissipate, gradually revealing the dense crowds of disciples climbing the stairs. Some disciples with quick speed were already approaching the 80th or 90th step, while those with less determination and perseverance were still stuck at the 20th or 30th step.

Inside the main hall of Tianyue Peak, the main peak of Xuanming Sect, several Jindan elders were talking to the water curtain in front of them.

The water curtain showed the performance of Chen Jinshu and others on the stairs, all of which were recorded one by one.

"Why is the quality of this year's disciples so poor? Only a hundred or so have reached the fifty steps in an hour!"

"I heard that a wave of beasts struck many southern markets, causing severe damage. Most of the qualified disciples were taken away by the Jianling Sect!"

At this time, Chen Jinshu had reached the 60th step and was trapped in the third illusion.

In the illusion, she came to Vulture Peak, where there was a serious locust plague. The farmers had lost all their money and blamed her for their grievances.

She was furious and tried to explain, but these spiritual farmers, including Chen Huaiyang, blamed her.

She gradually immersed herself in this aggrieved and unbearable mood, and silent tears welled up in her eyes.

Suddenly, she heard the call of a Yinshan tit, and her memory gradually returned. She realized that she was in an illusion.

She immediately attacked the surrounding scenes, and the images gradually faded under her attack.

When she regained consciousness, beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose and her heart was pounding.

"That was a close call. She almost fell into the illusion. Fortunately, Yin Shanque called her back in time."

She sent a grateful thought to Yin Shanque. She immediately cast a rejuvenation spell on her legs, and after her feet had recovered somewhat, she began to climb the stairs again.

……

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed, and Chen Jinshu was about to step onto the 100th step.

At this time, her whole body was soaked with sweat, and she had experienced two illusions in succession. Fortunately, she was strong-willed and Yin Shanque reminded her, otherwise she would have fallen into it.

When his feet stepped onto the 100th step, he disappeared uncontrollably from the spot.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a magnificent palace.

In front of the sight, there are five elders with powerful cultivation aura sitting in their seats, looking at the huge water curtain in front of the sight.

Seeing the scene of the water curtain, she was stunned.

"I didn't expect that the whole process of me climbing the stairs was being watched."

Soon, a warm spiritual power was injected into her body, healing all her injuries.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister, for passing the Path of Self-Examination! It took two hours and a quarter! The eighty-fifth person passed!"

When she heard the sound of approval, she was overjoyed. The fatigue on her face gradually dissipated and a smile appeared on her face.

"Finally passed!" A big stone in her heart finally fell.

Although her ranking is not high, she is already very satisfied.

Then she walked towards the disciples who had passed the test.

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed, and the originally empty temple now had more than a hundred disciples, but the total number only reached more than two hundred and fifty.

More than 500 people participated in the assessment, but in the end only half of them passed.

Chen Jinshu finally understood what his second uncle meant when he said that the third level was the most difficult.

"The assessment is over! Congratulations to everyone on passing! Next up is the assignment to the peaks! Yaowang Peak will announce the results first!"

"I am Master Liu Shang from Yaowang Peak! I now announce the admission of the disciples into the outer sect!"

"Su Shuhan, top scorer! Yaowang Peak Outer Sect!"

"Hao Chufeng, top scorer! Yaowang Peak Outer Sect!"

……

"Chen Jinshu, top scorer! Yaowang Peak Outer Sect!"
