On the arduous climb known as the "Road to Heaven," many have chosen to abandon the climb for various reasons, but at the same time, many brave challengers have consistently surpassed themselves and pushed their limits. Besides the gravity applied to each step, making the climb extremely difficult, these brave challengers also face a unique test after each hundredth step. Initially, the climbers will encounter a variety of powerful and diverse monsters among the hundred steps, making each encounter a life-or-death struggle. Some monsters excel at speed, daring through the air like lightning, making them difficult to capture; others possess formidable defenses, like an impenetrable fortress, making them impossible to defeat. Each encounter with a monster is a test of the climbers' combat skills and strategies.

As the climb progresses, the challenges become more complex. Instead of a single duel, you'll be forced to form random teams to complete specific missions. These missions might involve finding lost treasure, rescuing trapped companions, or uncovering an ancient mystery. Each mission requires tacit cooperation among team members, requiring everyone to leverage their strengths and face the challenge together. These missions test not only the climbers' wits, but also their courage and determination.

Of course, these trials are not without reward. Each one carries a rich reward, whether it be precious elixirs, powerful magical weapons, or even mysterious techniques. Through this rigorous training, both independent cultivators and disciples of aristocratic sects experience remarkable growth. As they ascend, they constantly break through barriers, enhance their strength, and ultimately emerge with a whole new look. Their spirits become more resilient, their strengths grow stronger, and their entire being exudes a radiant glow of hardship.

On this challenging journey, every challenger must confront both inner fears and external difficulties. They must not only overcome physical fatigue and pain, but also overcome deep-seated hesitation and retreat. Every step they take is a test of their will, every breath they take is an exercise in self-control. There are no shortcuts on this path; only by climbing steadily, step by step, and with perseverance can one gradually approach the elusive summit. Every climber must learn to thrive in adversity and excel in the face of challenges. With each test, they not only receive precious rewards but, more importantly, they are spiritually elevated and their strength strengthened. Their gaze grows more resolute, their steps more steady, and their hearts become stronger. On this journey to the heavens, they write their own legends with sweat and hard work.

Deep within the Nine Netherworld, the people in this room have gone from initial indifference to current anxiety. They worry that their younger generation won't be able to persevere. They know that for these immortal cultivators, the trials of the Path to Heaven are unmatched by any other path. Failure in other trials often costs one's life; however, the worst outcome for those who tragically perish on the Path to Heaven is expulsion from the path, a spiritual wound that can be repaired with a single Spirit Purification Pill.

"Oh, Ying Ni, the performance of these young people you brought with you is truly impressive! They all managed to persevere, especially that girl. I originally thought she might not be good at fighting." Ming noticed that not only did these young people brought by her good friend Ying Ni persevere, but one of them was a girl. Ming's tone was filled with admiration and surprise.

"You don't know them well enough. Muya doesn't have ordinary wood spiritual roots, she has pure wood spiritual roots. The last person who possessed this kind of spiritual root was in charge of all plants and living things in the world." Ying Meng saw that everyone in the room was attracted by Ming's words and paid attention to the people she brought, so she explained why Muya was able to persevere.

"That one!" Ming recalled that person's demeanor and re-examined Muya's performance. "I think this girl has extraordinary talent and has the potential to become the second him."

When others saw Ming and Ying Ni mention that person's existence, they quickly changed the subject, as if they were unwilling to dwell on it for too long.

"Hey, look at your grandson, he's doing pretty well and has already reached level 600." Someone tried to break the delicate atmosphere.

"The young people in your sect are also quite outstanding, and most of them have exceeded the 500th level." Another person also joined the topic, trying to divert everyone's attention to other things.

"Yes, they do work very hard and make rapid progress." Ying Ni responded with a smile, obviously proud of the performance of these young people.

"However, Muya's performance is indeed eye-catching, and her potential is immeasurable." Ming added, his gaze falling on the girl again, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, she is indeed a rare talent." Ying Meng nodded in agreement. She was full of expectations for Mu Ya's future.

The atmosphere in the room gradually relaxed, and everyone began to discuss the performance and growth of other young people, and Muya's name left a deep impression in their minds.

Gradually, as the number of people on the path to heaven thinned, the once bustling stone steps were now occupied by only a hundred or so determined climbers. Their figures, elongated in the afterglow of the setting sun, resembled unyielding silhouettes, frozen in time between heaven and earth.

The thousandth step seemed like a chasm, a natural barrier looming before them. The closer they approached this threshold, the heavier the gravity in the air grew, as if an invisible hand were gripping everyone's throat, making it difficult to breathe. Sweat and dirt intertwined on the stone steps, leaving a trail of mottled marks, a testament to the climbers' perseverance.

Many were already crouching on the steps, their faces etched with exhaustion and pain, but their eyes gleamed with an unquenchable light. It was a yearning for the summit, a dedication to self-transcendence. They used their hands and feet, each climb proving incredibly difficult, but it was precisely this very difficulty that forged their unyielding will.

The wind swept through the mountains, bringing a hint of coolness but also bringing a fiery warmth to the hearts of the climbers. They supported and encouraged each other, becoming the most solid support on this long journey. Every step on the stone stairs was condensed with sweat and tears, but it was these very moments that made their climbing journey even more brilliant.

At this moment, reaching the Heavenly Road is no longer a simple climb; it's more like a spiritual cleansing, a challenge to the limits of life. In the hearts of these more than 100 climbers, the thirst for the unknown, the yearning for the summit, has long surpassed physical fatigue and pain, becoming their inexhaustible driving force.
