Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: The Real Objective Behind Everything

"The second objective is to explain to you about this sect's real objective. I'll say this again: By letting you climb the Great Mount Kunlun mountain in just three months, reaching the top of the mountain without using any magical tool or spiritual power was an impossible task."He stopped, then added.

"Even I and Elder Lou weren't able to do it with you guys' current strength and experience." Sure enough, Elder Li's words made the rookies feel doubt, as many question marks popped out of their minds.

"There is no need to rush; listen carefully here. The possibility of successfully climbing the third layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain without using any spiritual power is 0.001 percent."His words made the rookies who successfully climbed the third layer look at each other.

Huang Ying Yue was stunned. She didn't think about this possibility at all.

"During my generation, only 2 or 3 out of many thousands of people could accomplish this step. Unexpectedly, from the new generation that emerged until your generation, the number of people who could achieve this step increased year by year, but those numbers were not as many as this year." Elder Li nodded and smiled.

"To let you climb the mountain is to test your courageous, perseverant, and endurance abilities. The road of cultivation is full of danger and unforeseeable threat; if you don't even have the courage to go forward and climb this mountain, then what's the point of shouting that you wanted to be strong?"

"The second layer of this task was to test your mind and your soul, as well as to eliminate the demon in your heart. What you saw in the second layer of the Great Kunlun Mountain were all the illusions that came out of your mind, as well as your deepest desire and heart demon. The longer you walk, the more temptation appears to attract your desire." Elder Lou explained instead of Elder Li.

The rookie nodded. No wonder; they've seen something they shouldn't have seen.

"I won't explain much about this matter because not even two thousand rookies have reached the second layer of the mountain. Moreover, reaching the second layer didn't mean that you had passed the second layer's trail. I'll tell you one thing: only 12 people were able to pass the task."

The rookies looked around, trying to see the outstanding people who could really reach the third layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain in just three months.

"In addition, I'll give you some clues and lessons about this since this is extremely important. This is also my third objective for appearing in front of you. Listen carefully; this will affect your mindset and perspective toward the world." Elder Lou's voice brought everyone's attention back.

"Cultivators must have a firm mind to strike forward, avoiding both visible and invisible danger. On the contrary, what'll happen if your enemies give you what you always wanted?" He asked seriously because this wasn't something to be ignorant of.

"For example, some people want wealth, some want power, while others want to have beautiful beings to serve their lust." His words made most of the rookies' faces who didn't pass the second layer turn red because of shame as their backs turned stiff.

It was true that those things were enough to attract them. Without Elder Li's stopping and interference, they might still trap themselves in the illusion.

"You should be glad that this illusion was just the sect's trail. What if you encounter the illusion somewhere in the future while you are walking or exploring some places? Will you still be able to resist such seductive temptation and protect yourself?" His question stunned them.

"If I'm the one who created this illusion, and I want to kill or torture you, do you think that you still have the chance to laugh here?"

"Do you think that you will still be able to stand under the sunlight while breathing?" Elder Lou's eyes suddenly turned sharp as his breath turned cold, like a sword blade striking into their hearts.
