Chapter 400 - The Crew from Caomu Peak (1/2)

“Qin Nan, are you already having difficulties?”

Xue Wuheng’s cold voice appeared behind him, whose pores began to emit an icy aura, causing the area five meters around him to be covered in ice.

His figure sprang forward as if the previous pressure suppressing him had vanished, allowing him to reach the hundredth step.

“Xue Wuheng, what are you being proud of?”

Ying Xunlong let out a harrumph as a golden glow was emitted from his body, causing his body to grow bigger while uttering a series of drum beats, resulting in a shocking sight.

His current flesh was slightly stronger than Qin Nan’s.

Qin Nan showed no sign of being influenced after seeing the two geniuses advancing at a greater speed in front of him. He continued to take one step forward at a time while breathing heavily.

A moment later, Xue Wuheng and Ying Xunlong had both reached the one hundred and eightieth step. Even for these two geniuses, advancing a step further felt like an incredibly difficult task.

As for Qin Nan, he had now reached the one hundred and fortieth step with his slow pace.

Behind him, quite a number of cultivators had managed to pass the hundredth step mark.

If someone were to glance downward from above, the person would feel like the cultivators had turned into turtles slowly advancing on the blue brick path. Their foreheads and bodies were covered in sweat. Each of their breaths felt like they were inhaling flames, bringing a burning pain to their throats. Some of them even became anxious and hot-tempered due to the suffering from the suppression.

“I can’t move anymore! I’ll be cultivating here!”

Finally at that instant, a cultivator let out a roar and sat down with his legs crossed and his eyes shut.

Buzz!

The first door suddenly fired a brilliant glow onto the figure of the cultivator.

Seeing the cultivator giving up served as the final blow to the resistance of the people around him, as seven other cultivators chose to give up and sat down with their legs crossed. Once again, the first door fired a glow onto each of their heads.

“So it appears that the benefit from the Triple Door will be granted after one gave up. At the same time, those who took more steps would obviously be given a greater benefit than those with fewer steps…”

Qin Nan turned his head around and observed the situation that the cultivators were experiencing, allowing him to have a clearer grasp of the rules. He then wore a firmer look on his face.

The Triple Door is a test, a test focusing on one’s mentality.

Once you clenched your teeth and endured the suffering due to the suppression, you would be receiving a great benefit in return!

“Time to keep going!”

Despite the fact that Qin Nan felt his feet were as heavy as mountains, he continued to step forward while clenching his teeth.

...Meanwhile, opposite the lake...

Over two hundred cultivators could only wait where they were since they failed to acquire a jade boat, and prepared themselves to get moving once someone fainted due to the pressure of the Triple Door.

A few figures landed along with a series of piercing whooshes all of a sudden.

The one leading the crew was none other than Court Master Jin, with Envoy Zhu, Tie Mu, Chen Ying, and a young man following behind him.

Their arrival served as a detonation of a grenade.

“What’s going on?”

“Isn’t that Court Master Jin? F**k, isn’t that young man Chen Fei?”

“Chen Fei, the genius in Pill Alchemy? What are they here for?”

“……”

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

“Such a pointless fuss!”

Chen Ying said in a cold tone.
