Chapter 772: I Am the Champion? (Second Update)
Biquge www.xbiquge.tw, the fastest update. I may be a fake immortal!
After Li Tong fainted, it was dark and he didn't know how long it took.
Consciousness returned to him and he tried to open his eyes.
A vast white space.
Next to him is a stone tablet showing that one ten thousandth of the progress has been completed.
Hunger, fatigue, and pain enveloped the entire body.
Li Tong couldn't understand, could anyone really pass such a test?
With this broken body, let alone reaching the end, I am afraid that it will not even be able to complete the next ten thousandth of the distance. He will die of exhaustion on the road, yes, he will die of exhaustion on the road!
Think about it, walking up the stairs until you are almost dead and only completing one ten thousandth of the journey, what kind of experience is it?
This is why Li Tong was so desperate that he fainted the moment he learned the truth.
Now that I'm awake, I'm still in despair.
"Impossible, no one can pass such a trial!"
"You're playing with me, right?"
Li Tong looked up at the sky and shouted desperately.
There was no response. What answered him was the cold space and endless stairs.
Li Tong trembled and hesitated for a long time.
Finally, he looked at the endless stairs and took steps with difficulty.
Keep climbing...
He won't give up!
It was obviously an impossible task, but for some reason, he really didn't want to give up.
Unwilling to fail here, his perseverance is invincible and he will crawl until he dies!
His body trembled and he kept crawling, only to find that his body seemed to be working continuously.
He didn't know how long he had been climbing before he climbed only 10,000 steps.
Li Tong smiled bitterly.
You probably won’t be able to see the second stone monument until you climb to your death, right?
As a genius of the Dou Zhan Shen Sect, he came all the way to the Four Nine Immortals Sect to dream of the Immortal Sect. This dream will eventually be shattered...
Li Tong was unwilling... How could he leave like a defeated dog?
He bit it and continued crawling.
The thought of giving up had flashed through his mind countless times. His body, which was suffering tremendous pain, advised him to give up, his pride as a genius advised him to give up, and his reason advised him to give up...
However, he is really not willing to give in! !
Li Tong's state of mind changed, and the various thoughts in his mind disappeared. There was only one thought, and that was to continue climbing.
Big deal, die on the road.
Sometimes, it may only take a moment from immaturity to maturity.
Li Tong forgot how long he had been climbing. He fainted several times from exhaustion, then woke up and continued climbing.
I still don’t know where two out of 10,000 stone tablets are…
Until one time when he fainted from exhaustion and woke up, he found himself in a spacious hall, surrounded by thousands of people who participated in the trial with him.
"Did you fail?" Li Tong's eyes turned red and he murmured.
Then, he found that most of the monks were looking at him with strange eyes.
what happened?
Why do these people look at him, a loser, with a bit of envy and a bit of admiration?
At this time, a very beautiful woman in white appeared in front of him with a smile on her face.
The woman in white is the one who designed this trial, Bai Ling.
"Congratulations, Li Tong, you won first place in this trial." Bai Ling said with a smile.
"Number...first place?"
Li Tong was so confused that he stuttered when he spoke.
"I, didn't I reach the end?"
He remembered that he had not even reached the second ten thousandth stone monument. After experiencing countless comas, he finally came here between the last fainting and waking up.
"The end point?" Bai Ling blinked, "That trial has no end point."
Li Tong was confused again, and after a moment he said: "Didn't you say that the trial is successful only when you reach the end? And the stone tablet also said the distance to the end..."
"Oh, I lied to you. In fact, the stairs are endless and you can never climb them all." Bai Ling confessed naturally.
Li Tong: "..."
Li Tong couldn't describe what he felt in his heart, he felt like vomiting blood.
The other nearly 10,000 monks looked at Li Tong with sympathy. When they first heard the news, they felt so fucked up that some monks even fainted again...
Bai Ling put his hands behind his back and looked into the void, as if he had seen through the long river of time, and slowly said: "That ladder has no end, so why is the road to seeking the Tao not like this?"
"In the endless years, how many people have fallen on the road of seeking the Tao? No one can see the end of the Tao. The only thing you can do is to keep moving forward and see who goes further."
"Some people will despair and collapse because of the difficulty of seeking the Tao, and some people will give up quickly. But there are also people who keep walking and are unwilling to stop like this. Their only thought is to keep going, walking that way. There seems to be an end point, but I can't reach it at all, and then I die from exhaustion on the road."
Nearly ten thousand monks listened thoughtfully to Bai Ling's words, and some even lowered their heads in shame. Yes, this is a test of perseverance, everyone understands it.
However, understanding and being able to do it are two different things.
Bai Ling looked at Li Tong with a look of approval on his face: "Among all the people here, you are the only one who never gave up and walked the longest. You are the well-deserved first place!"
Li Tong listened to Bai Ling's words and was once again moved by his own persistence.
"Pa pa pa..."
I don't know who started to applaud first, and then the applause continued to roar up to the sky.
Most of the cultivators were convinced by Li Tong's persistence.
Li Tong's eyes were filled with tears: "Wow... I am indeed a genius, I am indeed the best..."
The applause gradually cooled down after the cultivators heard his acceptance speech.
Bai Ling: "..."
"Next, the top 1,000 people in the trial will follow me for the second trial, and the rest will stay on standby. They can accept the establishment of outer cabinet disciples, but they will also have to take the trial. You can decide on the spot whether to go or stay." Bai Ling said.
"More trials?" Li Tong's eyes widened.
Bai Ling smiled coldly: "Do you think it's so easy to be a core disciple of the inner cabinet of the 49th Immortal Sect?"
Li Tong stopped talking.
Ten thousand people were eliminated in just one trial. Nearly nine thousand people were eliminated. The next trial will probably be even more terrifying, right? Thinking of the life-or-death feeling before, Li Tong panicked.
Even An Lin, Xuanyuan Cheng and others who were watching on the side were shocked.
They put themselves in the shoes of the trial and felt that it was like a nightmare. They might not be able to do as well as Li Tong.
Climbing the stairs until death, are you afraid?
Bai Ling is indeed a professional in trial design, it's too scary!
Those eliminated cultivators were the first to give up.
Although they were disappointed, there was nothing they could do. What they could do next was to decide whether to continue to participate in the trial and strive to become the outer cabinet disciples of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
The outer cabinet disciples handle peripheral affairs, and the skills and cultivation resources they obtain are definitely not comparable to those of the inner cabinet core disciples.
But the sect leader An Lin said that particularly outstanding outer cabinet disciples have the opportunity to be promoted to inner cabinet core disciples...
Li Tong and nearly a thousand trial participants followed Bai Ling and entered the second trial.
