C18 Heaven and Earth Are Heartless

"It's a pity that this Gravity Stone Step contains a great magic. The last step of the test has nothing to do with physical strength and will, but the spiritual force!" Lee Yi sighed.

"All living things have their own spirit. The quality of the spiritual force depends on the aptitude. These few people's aptitude can only be said to barely pass the test. That kid from the Zhang family is not bad, but they can't hold on any longer."

Tianting also said, "This Gravity Stone Step wasn't prepared for mortals. Even if we were to walk on the complete stone steps now, we wouldn't be able to finish it. However, this is also a good move. It is most suitable to filter out those who are trying to fish in troubled waters."

While they were discussing, they had already made the following conclusion clear. However, just as they finished speaking, they heard a miserable scream. A figure had already passed the 999th Gravity Stone Step with a prostrating posture!

This person was Lee Ao. After escaping the pressure of the Gravity Stone Step, he suddenly jumped up, as if his butt had been hit by a cow!

"You!"

Lee Yi's small eyes were now wide open. He looked at Lee Ao, who was baring his teeth in front of him.

What was going on? He just said that no one could pass through the Gravity Stone Step, but why was there a person crawling over?

"Eh?! I, I'm coming over?" At this moment, Lee Ao also felt that the mountain-like gravity had disappeared. When he turned around, Wang Yuan and the others also looked at him in shock.

Me? I passed?! Lee Ao thought that he was hallucinating because he was too tired. He slapped his butt and felt a burning pain!

He passed! He really passed!

"Eh! Alright, I got it!" Lee Ao was so excited that he was dancing with joy. Along the way, their bodies had been dirty and their hair was messy. At this moment, they looked like a madman who had lost his mind.

"What did you hit?! Go and rest!" Lee Yi came up and patted Lee Ao hard. Instantly, a vast amount of energy flowed into Lee Ao's body, nourishing his exhausted body.

Lee Ao had been using up a lot of energy for a long time. Once he relaxed, he would immediately become dizzy and fall asleep by Lee Yi's side.

Compared to Lee Yi, Wang Yuan and the others knew better why Lee Ao suddenly flew over. They turned around and saw that Xu Xian, who was yawning with a bamboo basket on his back, had just retracted his feet.

This was actually a kick from Xu Xian!

The shock in Wang Yuan's heart was indescribable. He knew how terrifying the current gravity was. Even when he was standing, he had used all his strength. The last step was like an abyss that made them feel despair.

Looking at Xu Xian, his face was not red, nor was his heart beating. He did not even breathe loudly, as if he had no strength at all. How was this possible? Was he still human?!

Zhang Weitian and the young man with coarse clothes also had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Zhang Weitian had long known that Xu Xian would be able to sell a mystical pill. That must be something extraordinary, but he didn't expect this guy to be so fierce. This was not a human at all! It was a ferocious beast!

Xu Xian arrived at the 998th step and stood beside them. At the same time, a weak voice sounded in their ears, "Let's make a deal!"

Deal? Their hearts moved, and they looked at Xu Xian.

Xu Xian smiled. "I will help you pass the last stage. You guys promise me one condition in the future. Don't worry, this condition will not exceed the bottom line."

Zhang Weitian heard this and felt it was not easy to make a decision. Accept a condition was the most uncontrollable. It was easy to pay a thousand gold coins, but it was hard to repay a favor. Who knew what kind of condition other people would put forward?

"Alright! I promise you!" Zhang Weitian was still hesitating when the young man next to him agreed immediately. The young man's eyes were shining brightly, and he seemed to have an obsession that made people's hearts palpitate.

Zhang Weitian nodded as well. Xu Xian grinned. He had reached the 999th step in one step! As his feet landed, an invisible energy wave spread under Xu Xian's feet. This kind of energy wave! The energy wave was slowly synchronizing with the energy wave contained within the Gravity Stone Step!

No one could discover what Xu Xian was doing, but they all gasped when they saw Xu Xian effortlessly ascend to the last step!

It was too terrifying! What kind of existence was this!?

"This, this, this..." Lee Yi was also dumbfounded. This was the last step! This was something he had personally experienced. Even though his physique was special, he had also expended a lot of effort to pass this stage. This brat just came over so easily?

"This guy isn't human at all. Even animals don't have this kid's livestock!" Liu Tiandong was also shocked. Xu Xian's performance had already exceeded their understanding.

Xu Xian didn't pay attention to the discussions of these people. He stomped his foot again. The five elemental waves collided at a certain moment. The three people standing on the 998th floor felt their bodies lighten!

No, it wasn't that they had become lighter, but the gravity of the stone steps had been greatly reduced!

"Let's go!" Zhang Weitian was overjoyed. Presumably, this sudden change was the method Xu Xian had mentioned to help them. He originally thought that Xu Xian would take out an even more miraculous pill, but he didn't expect that he would use a method that they didn't know about.

Without having the time to think about how Xu Xian actually did it, Zhang Weitian and the young man with coarse cloth took a step forward!

9,999 steps!

"This!" Lee Yi was shocked.

Even Ning Ling was shocked. Only two people had passed the trial in a hundred years, but there were four in a year!

Zhang Weitian and the coarse cloth youth both revealed indescribable excitement on their faces, and then they both fainted.

At this time, on the stone steps, only Xu Xian and Wang Yuan were left.

Xu Xian turned around and looked at Wang Yuan, who was gritting his teeth and persisting instead of relaxing just like the two of them.

Wang Yuan also raised his head and looked at Xu Xian. He slightly cupped his hands and then looked at the woman holding the sword, who was only a few steps away.

"Tsk, tsk, interesting." Xu Xian grinned. This guy had a lot of thoughts.

Wang Yuan used all the strength in his body to focus on his legs. He was almost trembling when he lifted his legs a little bit. However, just as he lifted them up, he was sucked in by the stone steps again. His body started to shake because he had used too much strength.

A large patch of darkness started to appear in front of him. It was a sign that he was about to faint from extreme fatigue. Wang Yuan's eyes were red and his blood vessels were rising. He held his sword and held his body up.

At this moment, everyone on the stone steps looked at Wang Yuan. They recovered from the shock. Whether it was Lee Ao or the other two who passed the trial, it should be because of Xu Xian.

Only Wang Yuan, Ning Ling's slender fingers were moving up and down on the sword. He did not use Xu Xian's pill and refused Xu Xian's help.

He had made it to this step by himself!

This willpower made everyone moved. Qing Rushui lightly sighed, "The heaven and earth are heartless. Cultivation is originally heaven defying. If you suffer a thousand percent, you cannot have a little sweetness. Difficult, too difficult."

Wang Yuan struggled to support his body. He knew that he did not have much strength left. Even with his current strength, he had exhausted his body to forcefully support it. He still had the useless Strength Pill in his arms. There were many times when he wanted to take it out and use it.

But he endured it. Heaven and earth were heartless. When Wang Yuan was born, he was only half the weight of a normal baby. His body was weak and he did not even have the strength to cry. Even the midwife said that this child's life was full of ups and downs and it was difficult for him to live for long.

Later on, when Wang Yuan was young, he spent most of his time on the bed. It was only after he was twelve years old that he got better. He saw many times his mother shed tears alone, and he also saw his father secretly sigh.

Therefore, he began to practice martial arts to strengthen his body. It was almost fated. He was fascinated by the way of the sword, and he had amazing talent.

Due to his pampering and guilt towards Wang Yuan, his father and mother invited many sword masters to teach him. They did not want Wang Yuan to become a grandmaster, but only wanted his health to be better.

The development after that also made Wang Yuan's parents more and more happy. Wang Yuan's body was getting better and better, even stronger than those of the same age.

But all of this was expressed by Wang Yuan. In fact, Wang Yuan himself could feel it. His body had always been flawed. This feeling was hard to explain. He was obviously stronger than many of his peers, but he could still feel that he was flawed.

Humans were the most intelligent, and they could feel that their limits were approaching. Wang Yuan could also feel that if his flaws couldn't be solved, he wouldn't be able to live for long.

Thus, he decided to cultivate, and the means of Immortals might be able to solve his own flaws.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to see his parents shed tears secretly, so he couldn't lose!

"This child's heart is firm, but the truth is hard to defy! Without sufficient aptitude or special constitution, it is still difficult to surpass." Lee Yi sighed. He admired Wang Yuan very much, but the truth was already set in stone. It was already very rare to reach the last step by relying on one's own strength.

However, just as they thought that Wang Yuan would not be able to hold on any longer, Wang Yuan's movement made their hearts tremble violently!
