Chapter 178: Reaching 5000 Meters

The Main Consciousness disappeared.

Jiang Hao looked at the mountain. He couldn’t help but think about the point that the amount of pressure at the end line was enough to make even geniuses feel intense pressure. So... will they face the same pressure from the start of their climb?

If they will, then he doubted any Soul Sea realm cultivator would make it to the top ever.

This lone mountain looked at least 10,000 meters high, so it was impossible for anyone to reach the top. Jiang Hao himself doubted that he would be able to reach the top. There must be something he didn’t know about. Well, he would find out soon enough, so there was no need to ask Yi Lin either.

"Then I will start, Sister Ming and Brother Jiang."

Ming Yue nodded.

"Let’s meet on the top."

Yi Lin bowed and moved towards the stairway that was going to the top of the mountain.

Ming Yue looked at Jiang Hao and asked,

"Junior brother, what do you think the Main Consciousness wants from us?"

Jiang Hao had thought about it already, so he shook his head.

"I don’t know, senior sister."

"So we basically take these gifts and leave?"

"We never asked for them anyway."

"But junior brother, we still accepted them. We have to show some gratitude."

Jiang Hao looked at her expressionlessly and said,

"Senior sister, when did you learn morality?"

"What do you mean, junior brother? You think I am an unruly thief or something?"

Ming Yue squinted her eyes while saying that.

Jiang Hao didn’t care for her expression and nodded.

"Yes, senior sister."

Ming Yue looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.

"That’s preposterous, junior brother. You are baselessly accusing me!"

Jiang Hao nodded.

"If that is the case, senior sister, I should return your share of rewards back to the Main Consciousness."

Ming Yue’s eyes widened.

"Junior brother, Yi Lin is already at her tenth step! Let’s go. We can’t let her beat us—it will be a stain on your fearful image!"

After saying that, Ming Yue ran away.

Jiang Hao shook his head and followed her.

After coming near the stairway, he climbed onto the first one. He felt a little pressure, similar to the pressure he felt halfway through the trial pathway. As for the pain, it was similar too.

It wasn’t much, but for others, it was definitely not low either. Suddenly, he noticed something—the longer he stood there, the lower the pressure being applied on him became, but the pain remained the same.

So that’s how it works. No doubt the pressure will increase, but if you hold long enough, then it will become negligible. If that’s the case, any cultivator can stop on any stairway for some time to rest and recuperate their spirit qi—but they have to endure the pain.

This trial definitely tests will, persistence, and strength.

Walking for about a week while feeling immediate bursts of pressure along with pain, and waiting on your location to let the pressure become negligible... it was definitely designed to test them perfectly in these domains.

Jiang Hao kept walking, as the initial pressure wasn’t even a light breeze for him. While doing so, he found out one more thing—that those who walk like that face even more pressure than those who had stopped to make previous pressure negligible.

Jiang Hao didn’t stop, though. He in fact increased his speed and crossed Ming Yue and Yi Lin, who were walking together now.

Gradually, as Jiang Hao climbed more, the pressure became so high that he finally felt that he couldn’t move at his maximum speed. As for the pain, it was increasing constantly—but he didn’t even care about it, as it was still negligible for him. He kept moving, and his speed kept decreasing. He had already reached 4,000 meters high, almost halfway through.

Now Jiang Hao wasn’t able to even run easily. He was forced to walk. When he reached 5,000 meters, the pressure suddenly became like a wall and forced him to stop even if he didn’t want to.

The feeling was similar to what Jiang Hao had felt while trying to see the end of this dimension. His whole body felt like it was trapped in inescapable chains that didn’t want to budge from his body.

Jiang Hao really wanted to take at least one step before stopping, as he had already picked up his leg for it when he was forced to stop. He gritted his teeth and released all of his qi and blood qi, creating unimaginable strength just to move one step up.

The air around him crackled, and he finally was able to move in this unimaginable pressure. And after taking one step, he didn’t stop and took the second one too... but his skin felt like it would tear if he kept moving.

Jiang Hao didn’t care about that and moved to take the third step—and as expected, he was able to take it. After the sudden increase on the 5,000th step, it again became a gradual increase, which was still scalable with his full strength. His bones were almost creaking internally, but he didn’t stop and took the fourth step.

Suddenly, Jiang Hao’s thoughts stirred and he stopped and looked towards himself. His skin was still fine, but the clothes were on the verge of turning into dust.

Jiang Hao didn’t care for his skin getting torn off, but these clothes were his last pair, and it wouldn’t be good to walk on this stairway while being naked.

His senior sister would have another reason to nag him for life if that happened.

There were definitely some spare clothes in the storage bags of his enemies, but wearing them under intense pressure wasn’t a viable choice.

Jiang Hao sighed and stood on the stair to let the pressure decrease gradually. It would take longer to decrease it to a negligible level, but he didn’t mind and looked towards the forest surrounding the whole mountain.

It was still amazing—to create your own dimension which is similar to the real world. Just as he was thinking about the dimension, his thoughts couldn’t help but go to Senior Yin Ni.

She hadn’t contacted him in a long time now. Not to mention... was the Main Consciousness able to see through them when he had communicated with her previously?

He didn’t know if it was the truth or not, but Senior Yin Ni definitely knew about it, and since she hadn’t mentioned it, it seems like it wasn’t a problem.

Jiang Hao waited for almost 2 hours before the pressure got to a negligible amount. It seems the higher he climbed, the more time it will waste.
