Divine Martial Saint

"Then if we just climb to the top, as long as we persevere, won't we be able to get there? What's so difficult about that?"

Shi Hao was also puzzled. If the assessment was that simple, then even mortals could climb up there.

After all, everyone had three days. Even though it was very high here, they should still be able to sense the people walking and resting at the same time.

If the first stage of Blood Underworld Sect's examination was so simple, then it was impossible to eliminate more than half of the people in the first stage!

So Shi Hao had the nagging feeling that there was something else he didn't know.

Persistence is one aspect, just like you said, if you need to work hard to climb up, then that is obviously impossible. But you can't say for sure, then there are mortals that can climb up, but what's the use of mortals climbing up?

"Moreover, on this Heaven Stairway, the higher you go, the longer the road, causing you to feel like you are lost in the middle of walking, always feeling like there is an endless path, and when your consciousness discovers that there is no end to this road, subconsciously you will stop and want to go down."

Sun Qiang obviously knew that Shi Hao thought too simply about this matter. After all, he had only introduced a portion of it just now, so he felt that it was necessary to add Shi Hao to it.

Although Sun Qiang thought that with his abilities, the chances of him being able to pass the examination were miniscule, but he felt that at this time, even if he gave Shi Hao a few more instructions and left him some favors, it would still be good. After all, there were many different paths for multiple friends.

"Unexpectedly? What was going on? And you say it's so mysterious? "

Shi Hao was especially curious, although the Blood Underworld Sect did manage to climb the mountain, why did it have to be set up with some unexpected things?

"Actually, I'm not too sure what this unexpected thing is either, because as long as it's someone who has experienced something unexpected, they would have already joined the Blood Underworld Sect. Any disciple of the Blood Underworld Sect would definitely not reveal what happened during the Blood Underworld Sect's assessment."

"I've already paid a heavy price to know this much. If I want to know more, I believe it's impossible for others to know."

Before Sun Qiang came, he specially did a detailed investigation of the Blood Underworld Sect's assessment in order to increase his chances of success.

Although Sun Qiang was already a member of the Tantai City and did not expect to be able to stay in the Tongtai City through becoming a member, he still looked forward to becoming a member of the Blood Underworld Sect.

Because in Tai City, although a disciple of an ordinary family could also cultivate, he could at most only cultivate up to the Energy Dispersing Stage. If he wanted to cultivate to a higher level, then he could only join the sect.

After all, it was impossible to venture into the Wilderness with the personal power of a clan. Even if one went, they could only assume that there was no division of the territory they belonged to. Those who did not belong to the clan would not be able to find out, or they would be in extreme danger.

However, it was different in the sects. After a long period of hard work, several sects had divided all the areas in the Wilderness into different levels. Which one was more suitable for a lower cultivation level? There was a clear division of levels suitable for those with higher cultivation levels.

Therefore, to the clans in the Tongtai City, it was simply impossible to get involved with them. This was also why so many people would have to push their way through to join one of the three sects.

The three major sects of Tongtai City were respectively the Blood Underworld Sect, the Gui Xi Sect, and the Shadow Sect. Only the Blood Underworld Sect s would accept disciples from the three major sects, whereas the Gui Xi Sect and the Shadow Sect only accepted disciples from the Tongtai City.

It was not because these two sects were relatively haughty and looked down on the Affiliated Cities s, but rather that the cultivation levels of the people who paid the price in the cities were generally lower and those who could join the s were especially few. In past generations, these two sects had also asked the Affiliated Cities s to join them, but later on, they felt that the cost of doing so would be too great to cover and in the end, decided not to recruit disciples from the Affiliated Cities anymore.

Although there were very few disciples recruited in the Affiliated Cities, among the disciples recruited in the past, there had once been people with outstanding talent who came from the Affiliated Cities.

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, they decided that no matter how expensive it was to recruit disciples, like the Affiliated Cities, you have to continue. After all, even if the chances were slim, at least you could still recruit someone with a heaven-defying cultivation.

Compared to the Blood Underworld Sect's assessment of disciple recruitment, the other two sects' assessment of disciple recruitment was even stricter. After all, the other two sects took the path of elite troops, while the Blood Underworld Sect followed the path of spreading a net.

For people like Sun Qiang, who weren't particularly talented, they would already be Amitabha if they were able to join the electorate. They wouldn't even have any hope of joining the other two sects.

Therefore, before he came, Sun Qiang had made ample preparations. He only wanted to shine during the recruitment examination and successfully join the Blood Underworld Sect.

Actually, before telling Shi Hao all this news, Sun Qiang also felt pained. After all, these things were things that he had spent a lot of money to obtain, and he had finally picked up a huge bargain by telling Shi Hao all this for free.

Initially, he had also wanted to ask Shi Hao for some resources, but upon thinking about how Shi Hao's cultivation was so low and how he was a person from the Affiliated Cities, he decided against it.

"It seems like you don't want to fight a battle without any preparation. This time's assessment is for you to pass. Do your best!"

Shi Hao felt that Sun Qiang had never held back for him. If she didn't hold any other motives, it was indeed appropriate for her to be his friend.

No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, he was still treating me well.

"Of course, you have to work hard too! I'm planning to climb the mountain. Are you going up together or do you want to wait a bit?"

Sun Qiang saw that most of the people had already started climbing the mountains, and that it was not so crowded with only three legs, so he decided to follow them.

At this time, there were a lot of people following behind them. With the people in front of him as a guide, he would not be able to see the endless mountain peak. He did not despair and climbed up easily.

"Let's go. Since you want to go up, I won't stay here any longer."

Shi Hao didn't have any plans on crawling anymore, it was the same no matter what.

In Shi Hao's opinion, the first stage was not a big deal, at most, it was just a test of perseverance. In his previous life, he was a grandmaster of pills, and sometimes, concocting a batch of pills would take a few months or even a year.

If it was a test of a person's mental state, Shi Hao would still be considered as someone at the top of the continent last time.

Therefore, regarding the assessment in front of him, Shi Hao did not care at all. When Sun Qiang heard Shi Hao say that they would go up together, he also started to walk.

Shi Hao followed Sun Qiang's footsteps. After taking his first step, he felt that it was like he was in ordinary time, he basically didn't feel anything.

"This seems to be the same as normal time. I feel that if we continue walking like this, there shouldn't be any problems."

Shi Hao said to Sun Qiang. He actually wanted to know if Sun Qiang had any feelings now, since this was an assessment after all.

"It's exactly the same!" Didn't I just say it? "Only after you've walked for a very, very long time and discovered that the camera is far away from you will you give up. You've only just taken the first step, and if you already feel it, then this examination is really too difficult."

Actually, Shi Hao couldn't be blamed for this. After all, in Shi Hao's opinion, the more difficult tests should be different from the usual ones.

The more difficult the exam was, the more complex the test. It should have a stronger reaction to it, and thus, it would affect one's mental state.

Shi Hao knew that this question was a little awkward, so he did not speak anymore. The two of them were speechless for a while, and then left just like that for a long time.

"Shi Hao, how long do you think we have been gone for? So many people have stopped to rest by the roadside. Don't they want to leave? "

Sun Qiang started to feel that the road ahead was a bit distant and he didn't know how long it would take to reach the end.

At the same time, when the two of them were walking up the stairs, although their footsteps were also slow, they passed another person as they walked. As they walked, they missed another person.

Up until now, they had no idea how many people there were. Every time there were more than one person, they would realize that that person didn't want to move at all.

"I only cared about walking. I didn't even count how long I walked for. I think I walked for about four to four hours."

At the same time Shi Hao ascended, although he saw many people by the side of the road stop, he also knew that they had probably been eliminated.

After all, it had only been a few hours since they had started resting on the roadside. This meant that their minds were not firm at all. Stopping and walking were taboo.

The more times they stopped, the more desperate they became. Some people might even stop there for the first time and never go up again.

Shi Hao knew that for a test like this, as long as you could persevere on, there was no need to stop at all, no need to think about how many steps you had taken, no need to think about how many paths there were left.
