After Li Tong fainted, it was pitch black, and I don't know how long it was.

Consciousness returned, and he struggled to open his eyes.

A white space.

Next to him was a stone tablet showing that the progress was 1/10,000 complete.

Hunger, fatigue, pain, enveloped the whole body.

Li Tong couldn't understand, could anyone really pass such a trial?

This crippled body, let alone reaching the end, I'm afraid I can't even finish the next one-ten-thousandth of the journey. He will die of exhaustion on the road, yes, he will definitely die of exhaustion on the road!

Think about it, what kind of experience is it to walk the stairs to the point of death, only to complete one ten-thousandth of the journey?

This is also the reason why Li Tong was so desperate that he fainted the moment he learned the truth.

Now I'm awake, but I'm still desperate.

"Impossible, no one can pass such a test at all!"

"You're playing me, aren't you?"

Li Tong looked up at the sky and shouted in despair.

There was no response, and what answered him was the cold and cold space, and the endless staircase.

Li Tong trembled and hesitated for a long time.

Finally, he looked at the endless staircase and took a difficult step.

Keep climbing......

He won't give up!

It was 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 climb until he dies!

He trembled and crawled, only to find that his body seemed to be constantly calling.

I don't know how long it took him to climb only 10,000 steps.

Li Tong smiled bitterly.

I guess I won't be able to see the second stele until I die, right?

As a genius of the Fighting God Sect, he traveled thousands of miles to the Four Nine Immortal Sect to dream of the Immortal Sect, and this dream was about to be shattered after all......

Li Tong is unwilling...... How is it possible to leave like a defeated dog?

He bit it and kept climbing.

The thought of giving up had crossed his mind countless times, his body in great pain urging him to give up, his pride as a genius to give up, his intellect to give up......

However, he is really unwilling!!

Li Tong's state of mind has changed, and the mixed thoughts in his mind have disappeared, and there is only one thought, that is, to continue climbing.

Big deal, die on the road.

Sometimes, going from immaturity to maturity can be just a matter of moments.

Li Tong forgot how long he had been climbing, he was tired and fainted several times, and he woke up and continued to climb.

The two-thousandths of the stele is not yet known......

Until he woke up from exhaustion one time, he found himself in a large hall, next to thousands of people who had participated in the trial with him.

"Failed?" Li Tong's eyes were a little red, and he muttered.

Then he noticed that most of the monks were looking at him with strange eyes.

What's going on?

Why do these people look at him, a loser, with some envy and some admiration?

At this time, a very beautiful woman in white appeared in front of him, smiling.

The woman in white is the one who designed this trial, Bai Ling.

"Congratulations, Li Tong, you won the first place in this trial." Bai Ling said with a smile.

"...... First place? ”

Li Tong was stunned and stammered when he spoke.

"I, didn't I not reach the end?"

He remembered that he hadn't even walked to the second 1/10,000th stone tablet, and after countless coma, he finally came here in the last fainting and awakening.

"The end?" Bai Ling blinked, "That trial has no end. ”

Li Tong was stunned again, and paused for a moment before saying, "Didn't you say that you have to reach the end to be considered a successful trial?" And the stele also said the distance to the end......"

"Oh, that's me lying to you, in fact, the ladder is endless, and you can never climb it all." Bai Ling naturally confessed.

Li Tong: "......"

Li Tong couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart, and he wanted to vomit blood.

The rest of the nearly 10,000 monks looked at Li Tong with sympathy, they also felt very fucked up when they first learned the news, and some monks even fainted again......

Bai Ling put his hands behind his back, looked at the void with a faint gaze, as if he had seen through the long river of time, and slowly spoke: "That ladder has no end, how can the path of seeking the Tao not be like this?" ”

"In the endless years, how many people have fallen on the road of seeking the way? No one can see the end of the way, and the only thing you can do is to keep moving forward and see who can go further. ”

"Some people will despair and break down because of the difficulty of seeking the way, while others will soon give up. But there are also people who don't stop walking, unwilling to stop like this, and their only thought is to go on, walking on the end that seems to have an end, but he can't reach it at all, and then die of exhaustion on the road. ”

Nearly 10,000 monks listened to Bai Ling's words, thoughtful, and some even lowered their heads in shame. Yes, it's a test of perseverance, everyone understands it.

However, understanding and being able to do it are really two different things.

Bai Ling looked at Li Tong with an approving look on his face: "You are the only one among all the people here who has not said to give up, and has walked the longest and longest on the stairs." You deserve to be number one! ”

Li Tong listened to Bai Ling's words and was once again moved by his persistence.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

I don't know who applauded first, and then the applause roared endlessly, reaching into the sky.

Most of the monks were convinced by Li Tong's insistence.

Li Tong unconsciously burst into tears: "Woo woo...... I'm really a genius, I'm really the best......"

When the monks heard his acceptance speech, the applause slowly cooled.

Bai Ling: "......"

"Next, the first 1,000 people in the trial will have a second trial with me, and the rest of them will be on standby, and they can accept the establishment of the disciples of the outer pavilion, but they will also be tested, go or stay, you can make a decision on the spot." Bai Ling said.

"Still going to trial?" Li Tong's eyes widened.

Bai Ling smiled coldly: "Do you think that the core disciple of the cabinet of the Four Nine Immortal Sect is so easy to be?" ”

Li Tong stopped talking.

10,000 people have eliminated nearly 9,000 people in just one trial, and the next trial will probably be even more terrifying, right? Thinking of the feeling of life and death before, Li Tong was a little panicked.

Even An Lin, Xuanyuan Cheng and others, who were eating melons on the side, were shocked.

They put themselves in the shoes of that trial, and they also felt like a nightmare, maybe they couldn't do as well as Li Tong.

Climb the stairs to death, and ask if you are afraid?

Bai Ling is worthy of being a professional in trial design, it's terrifying!

Those monks who were eliminated were the first to give up.

Although they were disappointed, there was no way to do it, what they could do next was to decide whether to continue to participate in the trial and strive to become the outer pavilion disciples of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

The outer cabinet disciples deal with peripheral affairs, and the exercises and cultivation resources they obtain are definitely not comparable to those of the core disciples of the cabinet.

But Sect Master An Lin said that particularly outstanding disciples of the Outer Pavilion have the opportunity to be promoted to the core disciples of the Cabinet......

Li Tong and nearly a thousand trialists followed Bai Ling and stepped into the second trial.
