Yaoguang Fairy Path

Ye Shuyao quickened her pace and continued to climb.

Finally, after some effort, Ye Shuyao successfully walked out of the illusion.

She looked back and saw Yang Tao and the other two also walking out of the illusion one after another.

Their faces showed the relief of surviving the disaster.

They smiled at each other and continued to climb hand in hand...

Li Yuru and others stopped at the 2890th step.

Their bodies have reached their limits and can no longer withstand any more pressure.

The two men lay on the ground in a utterly disgraceful manner, breathing heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat.

Ye Shuyao turned around and saw this scene, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

The path to becoming an immortal is full of hardships and challenges, and today’s climb is just a small beginning.

She bent over, her hands on her knees, and panted, "Yu Ru, Yang Tao, you've done very well. Being able to get here has proven your strength. Now, we can enter the inner gate. This is the result of your hard work."

Li Yuru raised her head with a wry smile on her face: "Shuyao, you are really amazing.

We have tried so hard, but we still can’t keep up with you.”

Yang Tao also agreed: "Yes, Shuyao, you are really admirable."

The other two, their feet aching from the long climb, their foreheads smeared with sweat, staggered to the steps and sat down wearily. Unfamiliar with Ye Shuyao and the other two, and now exhausted and in pain, they had no desire to engage in further conversation. Instead, they each closed their eyes to rest and recuperate.

Ye Shuyao looked at them, smiled, shook her head, and said softly: "We are friends and partners. There is no fast or slow person. We just have to work hard together." After that, she turned around firmly again and continued to move towards the steep steps.

Ye Shuyao climbed up three more steps and felt the gravity of the ladder becoming increasingly stronger, making her feel suffocated. Her knees bent a little further. However, she did not stop. Instead, she gritted her teeth and continued to climb.

She murmured to herself, her voice revealing a resolute and unyielding spirit. "In this strange world, I have neither a distinguished family background nor a strong backing. But so what? Without a background, she created one for herself. So I must persevere until I am successfully accepted into the sect..."

………….

As the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ladder, finally, before nightfall, Ye Shuyao finally saw the outline of the top of the mountain. She felt excited and took the last step.

As Ye Shuyao took the last step, a purple figure quietly arrived and arrived at the same time as her.

This was a tall man in a dark purple robe, who seemed to blend into the night and was elusive.

His face was well-defined and his eyes sparkled with a deep light, as if he could see into people's hearts.

He has a high nose bridge and elegant lip lines, and his entire face exudes an indescribable dignity and mystery.

The man nodded slightly, greeted Ye Shuyao, and then turned his gaze to the front.

A senior brother wearing the sect's disciple uniform announced, "Today's spiritual root test is over. Those with a single spiritual root or those who have passed 1,800 steps will enter the inner gate and stand on the right. Those who have passed 800 steps and above will stand on the left. We will take you to the outer gate residence. For the rest who have not passed the test, the sect will send someone to take you back."

As he spoke, his voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying an invisible power that made people involuntarily convinced.

After the spiritual root registration process began, everyone stepped forward one by one, waiting nervously and expectantly for their test results.

The first one to step forward was Li Yuru. She took a deep breath and gently placed her palm on the test spirit stone.

The spirit stone suddenly flashed with a fiery red light. A hint of surprise flashed in the elder's eyes, and he announced loudly: "Li Yuru, a single fire spirit root, with a spirit root value of 97, is truly a rare genius!"

Next came Yang Tao, who was a tall and strong man. When he placed his palm on the spirit stone, the spirit stone emitted a calm ochre light.

The elder nodded and praised: "Yang Tao, you have a single earth spiritual root, a spiritual root value of 88, you are steady and solid, you will definitely go further on the path of cultivation."

Zhang Sanliang stepped forward, and his test results showed that he had dual spiritual roots of earth and wood, with spiritual root values of 60 for earth and 78 for wood respectively.

Next came a beautiful and gentle girl. When her palm touched the spirit stone, the spirit stone emitted a soft green light.

The elder smiled and announced: "Tang Yueji, a single wood spiritual root, spiritual root value 78, a good talent."

When it was Mo Feibai's turn, the whole place fell silent. He had a unique aura, as if he was different from everyone else.

When his palm was placed on the spirit stone, the spirit stone suddenly burst into dazzling light, and the color changed unpredictably, as if it contained all the elements.

The elder's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Mo Feibai, a mutated wind spiritual root, with a spiritual root value as high as 98! Such talent is truly rare!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Mo Feibai, full of envy and awe.
