It was foreseeable that the journey to Mount Wangwu would face intense competition, possibly the greatest challenge Ye Rong had ever faced.
The penalties for his failure as Sect Leader were too incredible to accept, and it was likely the same for other players who undertook the mission. There was no room for retreat, and coupled with the allure of the Kunlun Stairway from myth, rumored to lead to the Immortal Realm and offer Nine-Rank Daoist books, there was no doubt no one would back down.
Even if they had an advantage in terms of strength, their opponents would not back off easily, all would fight to the death for that slight chance of victory.
Given the circumstances, it was absolutely necessary to integrate the Five King Sword Techniques before setting off, at least it could increase the odds slightly.
