In front of a stone staircase.
Ye Qinglian stood there alone.
She was at the peak of the Heavenly Saint realm, her cultivation level far exceeding that of other disciples, so there was a special stone staircase just for her, designed to exert pressure specifically on the Heavenly Saint realm.
Other stone staircases also released corresponding pressures for different cultivation levels, and even the length of each staircase was the same, ensuring fair competition for everyone.
"Prospective disciples, begin!"
With Gong Qingqiu's command, tens of thousands of outstanding talents began to activate their cultivation, leaping onto dozens of tiers of stone steps, only to feel a tremendous pressure bearing down on them, forcing them to ascend under the strain.
"So it's this kind of pressure."
Yao Changsheng sped ahead, leading the Divine Origin Realm stone steps, quickly widening the gap with those behind him, soon reaching one percent of the height.
