Chapter 578: Green Lotus Sect (Part 3)

Amalia narrowed her eyes slightly.

Is this the cultivator from the Green Lotus Sect?

His cultivation level is already at the Golden Core stage, and it seems he’s already reached great perfection stage too; otherwise, he wouldn’t emit such a noticeable pressure.

Throughout their journey, she had heard that the Green Lotus Sect was one of the largest sects on the Mystic Void Continent.

Many of its cultivators were sword cultivators.

Their sect masters, seniors, and elders were all strong sword cultivators.

Sword cultivators were said to be the strongest cultivators on the Mystic Void Continent.

One man can wield ten thousand swords.

She chose the Green Lotus Sect not only because of its fame but also because Kenny Lin also used the sword.

Even if she couldn’t become a disciple under Master Lian, by joining the Green Lotus Sect it would still offer her with better opportunities for development and more resources.

Her future path would at least be much smoother.

"My name is Renshu Chang, and I’m responsible for registration for this recruitment. Everyone here has passed the first round of assessments, so I hope you’ll continue to strive in the challenges ahead."

After the young cultivator finished his speaking, he left just as briskly as he had arrived.

"Is that it?" Amalia asked Kiran Xiao.

"Don’t rush, of course, it’s not over. The next step should be the second round of assessments," Kiran Xiao replied.

"It’s starting so soon? I thought it would be tomorrow," Amalia raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Kiran Xiao chuckled, "Usually it would be, but this isn’t a regular recruitment. There will likely be several consecutive rounds of assessments, so our performance from now on will be very important."

As they spoke, a faint murmur suddenly erupted from the square.

The swirling clouds ahead suddenly parted to reveal a long staircase extending upwards, disappearing into the heavens as if it connected into a fairyland.

"What’s this?" Amalia looked up.

"The Infinity Steps Ladder, a symbolic feature of the Green Lotus Sect. The rules for this round should be engraved on the ladder ahead," Kiran Xiao explained with a knowing look.

Amalia and Kenny Lin turned their gaze to Kiran Xiao simultaneously.

"Are we supposed to climb that?" Amalia asked.

"That’s most likely. In previous recruitments, it’s always been like this," Kiran Xiao said.

Kiran Xiao was somewhat surprised because he had thought this year’s recruitment assessment would be different from usual, but the first round was still the Infinity Steps Ladder.

The three of them approached the Infinity Steps Ladder, where, as Kiran Xiao had said, there was only one sentence on it.

All registrants were to reach the square atop the Infinity Steps Ladder within an hour.

Those whose exceeding this time would be eliminated.

Many people who had finished reading the rules had already begun to climb the Infinity Steps Ladder.

Amalia and Kenny Lin glanced at each other and noticed that while most started off relaxed, after a while their progress slowed.

Only a few of themw ho continued to ascend briskly.

Once inside the Infinity Steps Ladder, their figures became elusive.

Some of those who had initially been in the lead quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Let’s go. It seems interesting. It’s not just about climbing up; there’s more to it," Kenny Lin said, his mouth curling into a slight smile as if he had finally found something that interested him.

Kiran Xiao glanced strangely at Kenny Lin, who had suddenly changed his tone and mood.

"He only responds to things that interest him," Amalia observed his thoughts and explained.

"Brother Lin is indeed a very special person," Kiran Xiao’s eyes twinkled.

He also noticed that the Infinity Steps Ladder was different from before, and this was a perfect opportunity to observe the true strength of these two.

Without seeing their strength with his own eyes, no matter how impressive they appeared, he couldn’t fully acknowledge their abilities.

"I’ll go first," Amalia nodded her head and followed Kenny Lin’s footsteps.

Kiran Xiao hesitated for a moment before catching up with them.

Since he wanted to observe, it was certainly more easier to do so from behind them.

The entrance to the Infinity Steps Ladder was covered by a translucent water curtain.

As they entered, the ripples and waves spread out from the curtain.

Amalia instantly felt the pressure coming from above.

Unlike the oppressive aura of Senior Chang, this pressure was deeper and more ancient.

High above, majestic and sacred, within it, resistance was futile, only perseverance mattered.

Though heavy, it wasn’t insurmountable from the beginning.

After adapting for a moment, Amalia took firm steps and began to climb.

The staircase was long and seemed endless.

After walking for who knew how long, Kenny Lin who is walking ahead suddenly stopped.

He glanced back at her, and only spoke when she caught up.

"Further up, it should be another level."

"Nine is the extreme number. We’ve already climbed two hundred and ninety-nine steps."

Since there wasn’t much change in the last digits, Amalia didn’t count them.

Kenny Lin hadn’t even reached the three hundredth step yet, but he could already feel it.

"You’re counting the steps as you climb?" Kiran Xiao asked incredulously as he caught up with them from behind.

The weat was already dripping down his back, and his spiritual energy consumption was greater than usual, but the Infinity Steps Ladder had no end in sight.

Only after coming up did he realize that compared to the previous Infinity Steps Ladder tests, the current one was truly child’s play.

Of course, he had never participated in the Green Lotus’s recruitment competition before, but he had inquired about those who had participated.

"Yeah, just counted them casually," Amalia replied, paying attention to details, so she habitually kept track.

Kiran Xiao looked at her who is still so relaxed, feeling speechless.

It really was just casual.

He had thought Kenny Lin was hard to figure out, but this Amalia wasn’t ordinary either.
