In the long road of heart test, except oneself, no one else could be seen. The endless steps incarnated as human's inner demons, desire, temptation, fear and despair, wanting to devour the testers, and accidentally would pull one into the abyss.
Sweating had drenched her clothes again and again, the bones all over her body seem to crack, Yenny wasn't allowed to shield the aching.
She walked slowly as if every step was her last struggle. With extraordinary determination, she kept moving forward with that seemingly tortoise speed.
By the time she set foot on the 300-pass level, more than 200 people had been eliminated one after another, and she was walking last in the entire test road. At the 400th step, she looked as if she might fall at any moment, But she didn't, startled many eyes of jealous, curse and envy. She stopped as she was about to set foot on the 500th step.
Many failed players were relieved that she had finally reached the limit. As a third-class lifeblood, if she kept going, she would step on all their faces of better lifeblood in the mud and not be able to be picked up.
"Why, why does she stay there?"
"It's almost half an hour. Either she goes on, or she should have come out by now, but why she is staying?"
"Guess she's just putting on a show again. She'll be out soon."
Yenny, completely, didn't know what's going on in the outside world. Because she's in the biggest ordeal, and she could be forcibly evicted at any moment.
"Leave, or you'll die," a older's sigh rang in her mind, the pain of gravity was strengthened several times.
"No, that's not my limit!" Enduring the great pain, Yenny refuted without hesitation, forcing against the heavy power.
"What's the point of a few more steps? The road to immortality is endless. You are doomed to never reach the end. Why suffer so much for nothing?" The sound hit Yenny's soul again, stronger than ever, and could not be refuted.
"How can it be meaningless? Take a step more can see a different scenery. There is no end, there will always be something different." Yenny resisted again.
"Perhaps the road ahead will be nothing different at all, nothing exciting at all, nothing more than despair and endless pain." The older's voice hit her soul again.
"That doesn't matter. I'll cross over and keep going." Yenny retorted.
"Crazy child, no end, no hope of the road, what do you expect!"
"Anything i didn't discover is something to look forward to! I want to see what is beyond, to see if there is an end to the void, and even more to see what lies beyond it!" Yenny shouted resisting the endless force.
Finally, the older laughed and then did not respond any more.
All of a sudden, Yenny felt an invisible surge of power into her body to burst through the eight channels tendon and vessel. The force of gravity on her body dropped off sharply, her entire body, free from the weights and shackles, became extremely comfortable and full of great strength.
"Click, click" two sounds, a large number of Reiki quickly poured into her body, a few moments let her break through into the third grade of meditation phase.
"What is this, a sudden enlightenment?"
"Can it be like this? What a stroke of luck!"
... ...
In spite of commenting outside, Yenny's slow but steady progress began again with the same calm look.
Five hundred and fifty, five hundred and sixty, five hundred and seventy, five hundred and eighty, five hundred and ninety, six hundred... ...
Yenny's best work did not end.
In the end, only three people left in the road. Yenny was still climbing on the road with extraordinary tenacity, and it seemed that she was getting easier and easier.
Everyone stared at the little figure in disbelief until the front Tenny Trang and another teenager almost at the same time were steppig on the 700th step.
At seven hundred and one, Tenny Trang finally collapsed and was forced to leave the test of heart road.
At seven hundred and nine, another young genius Jimer Fore also ended his test.
Two talented students climbed over 700 steps appeared shocked many elders in the Cloud school, and even the principal suddenly showed up.
"There is someone still out there, a little girl with third-class lifeblood, who has just had a sudden enlightenment." The third elder said.
The principal was surprised to see Yenny reached the 680th step.
"This little girl's heart is really powerful! It's just a pity that her lifeblood is only the third-class!" The principal Orien said in much pity.
Another elder regrettably followed with a comment: "such a low-class lifeblood, no matter how good the heart is, she will have much limit to immortality. Not to mention the Mahayana phase, even if the incarnation phase, it would be impossible for her to reach. At best, the immortality phase was the end."
The rank of cultivation from bottom to top was Meditation, Foundation, Virtuoso, Immortality, Incarnation, Divinity, Transcendency, Judgment, Mahayana phase.
The principal agreed the elder's point, more regretfully saw the little girl going step by step to 690, and even up to 700 steps.
Yenny broke through everyone's imaginable bottom line again and stepped on the 719th step all the way forward. What was terrible was that she even had a vigor.
When Yenny reached the seven hundred and twenty-ninth step, the principal could not resist pulling the sleeve of the third elder on one side.
"Third elder, is there any way to find a lifeblood-washing herb?" The principal Orien asked, agitato.
"If one of her lifeblood could be washed away, hers become a second-class lifeblood....."
