Chapter 6: The Road to Success

The next morning, Sean packed his bag and left Qingshi Village with Mark. The villagers stood at the entrance of the village to see him off, their eyes full of reluctance. Sean looked back for the last time, and then resolutely set out on the road to Qingyun Sect.

Qingyun Sect is located in the Qingyun Mountains in the middle of the Savage Country, a thousand miles away from Qingshi Village. Along the way, Mark took good care of Sean and taught him some basic cultivation knowledge from time to time. Sean then knew that the way to cultivate immortals is divided into the realms of tempering the body, condensing qi, building the foundation, and golden elixir, and he is only in the initial stage of tempering the body, relying on the Devouring Divine Body to barely have the strength to fight.

"Boy, your roots are average, but there is a strange power in your body." Mark said meaningfully while riding on the horse, "If you can make good use of it, you may not be unable to gain a foothold in the sect."

Sean nodded, but was secretly alert in his heart. He knew that the secret of Devouring the Divine Body could not be easily exposed, otherwise it would surely lead to a fatal disaster.

Half a month later, they finally arrived at Qingyun Mountains. From afar, surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist, the palaces are looming, like a fairyland. At the foot of the mountain, many young men who came to learn from the master gathered, most of them were the best in nearby villages and towns, and they were all full of vigor and vitality.

"New disciples need to pass the entrance test." Mark took Sean to a stone platform, "The test content is to climb the Qingyun Ladder, a total of ninety-nine steps, and those who can reach the top can enter the outer gate."

Sean looked up and saw that the Qingyun Ladder went straight into the sky, and each step exuded a faint pressure. It was obviously not an ordinary stone ladder. He took a deep breath and took the first step.

"Boom!" As soon as he stepped on the first step, an invisible pressure came down, as if a small mountain hit his shoulder. Sean clenched his teeth, and the Devouring Divine Body in his body moved slightly, and actually swallowed part of the pressure and turned it into his own strength.

"Interesting." He raised his lips, quickened his pace, and crossed the tenth and twentieth steps in succession... Most of the young men around him were still struggling, and some were even pressed to the ground and vomited blood, but Sean walked more and more easily.

"This boy is extraordinary!" Several deacons on the stone platform looked sideways, and even Mark showed a hint of surprise.

Finally, Sean climbed the 99th step in one breath, bathed in clouds and mist, and his breath was several times stronger than when he set out. He looked back and looked down the mountain, and his heart was filled with pride: "Is this the way to cultivate immortality? I, Sean, am here!"
