The eight-year-old sensed countless Divine Senses scanning her. But despite doing so, none seemed capable of detecting her.
This also included the ethereal giants.
As Krune and all the clones had shared thoughts, they were aware of the positions of each other, the actions they took, the actions other people took, the routes that were safer, and so on.
With that, they scattered throughout the foot of the mountain, intending to scale up from various paths.
The ethereal giants were just the first obstacle.
The moment the eight-year-old set foot on the mountain, she noticed a formless force slamming into her, causing her movements to become a tad sluggish. 'This is similar to the pressure I felt in the Immortal Staircase.'
She noticed quite a few cultivators grunting the moment they began to climb up, suffering from the pressure as their reactions became delayed.
