Alex arrived at the foot of a nearly 5-kilometer-tall mountain. It was one of the smaller mountains in the surrounding mountain range.
There was a small open archway at the foot of the mountain, that made way to a wide stairway that seemed to go directly to the top of the mountain.
Alex couldn't even count how many stairs there had to be here. 20 thousand?
Considering that the slope was easily 7 kilometers long, and every 3 steps took a full meter of length, there was a long way to go to the top.
Alex had arrived here via a teleportation formation, along with 15 other candidates who had passed the preliminary test to enter the Blue Silk sect. The white-haired old man who had taken their test 2 weeks back was the one that had brought him here.
The mountain they were standing in front of belonged to the Blue Silk sect, but it was not the one where the headquarters of the sect was located.
