Someone asked, "What if someone can't go on anymore? Do we have to carry them up with us?"
"Exactly, if one person falls, everyone will find it difficult to take a single step."
The middle-aged Daoist's comment caused a stir among the crowd, and complaints filled the air.
"The Daoist Sect's requirements are a bit too harsh. Since childhood, I have focused on Body Cultivation, using various medicines to solidify my foundation. Alone, I can reach the summit, but if I have to carry a burden, getting to the five millionth step is questionable."
"Qi Cultivation is only about Dual Cultivation, where does this idea of ten cultivators cultivating as one come from? Moreover, since the Dao allows for solitary cultivation, why can't I go alone!"
"I earnestly request the Daoist Sect to let me travel alone."
Countless people stepped forward to request, but the middle-aged Daoist just smiled without speaking, giving no response.
