”Owner Bu, are you ready?” Jin Rou asked the old man by his side. They were in front of a majestic golden gate activated by Jin Rou, ”This is a gate towards the Outer Heaven. You only need to enter this gate and just endure a little.”

”Endure a little?” Owner Bu swallowed his saliva as beads of sweat started rolling down his aged face.

As far as he remembered, ascending to the Outer Heaven was easier said than done as it has many stages of endurance.

The first one was surviving the Lightning of Heaven for several hours. The lightnings were so powerful that even the genius Immortal Emperors of other worlds had died here. Take note, Immortal Emperors were the peak of the mountain in Grivexia. If even Emperors could die here, what more for those cultivators lower than this realm?

Of course, one could use a treasure in order to lessen the damage. But only treasures from Outer Heaven could do. Perhaps, it might not even work.

The second stage was a deep purple see. After you passed the first stage, you will need to suffer loss of oxygen for a few minutes while ascending the waters. Just imagine, you will no longer breathe and treasures didn't work here in this stage. So you need to rely on you sheer will to survive. Mostly, here in this stage had the most casualties as the ascenders were being tested by their fighting spirit.

The last stage was a small stone. After you survived the upward diving, you will see a small stone floating in your sight. That stone would bring no harm, but it will judge you whether you qualify to ascend successfully or not.

So far, out of 100 ascenders, only 5 or fewer could ascend successfully.

That's why Owner Bu was renowned during his prime. With this difficulty, no wonder fewer and fewer were willing to try to ascend as most of the emperors just chose to stay in Grivexia.

Jin Rou could see the worry in Owner Bu's eyes so he chuckled, ”Owner Bu, don't worry. As I'm here, of course, I won't let you experience something horrible like that. You will just feel a slight tinge of pain, that's all.”

Owner Bu was stumped to hear this and thought, 'did it mean that the Youngmaster has a way to bypass those torturing stages?'

Thinking about this, he again gulped his saliva. Just what kind of existence did he encounter that it could cheat the ascending stages? Not just that, he could even create a gate going to the Outer Heaven in a casual manner! What kind of cheat was this?

Even in the Outer Heaven, he didn't know any famous experts capable of doing this!

What's more, what's this slight tinge of pain? Perhaps if Owner Bu had the same cultivation like Jin Rou's, it would really be a slight pain. But hey, they are far from each other! It's like an ant and a dragon tearing the skies.

What doesn't hurt you didn't mean it would not hurt me too! He exclaimed in his heart.

The calm and composed Owner Bu was now dripping with cold sweat. But after a short while, he just gritted his teeth and entered the gate.

What could he do? He needed the Youngmaster's help, thus, all he could do was abide. Furthermore, with the character of the othet party, he knew that Jin Rou would not abandon him if anything were to happen.
