Episode 959: Ancestor’s Care
The elders inside the presbytery were watching the scene inside the main hall. From here, they could see the situation in front of the Hyeoncheon stairs.
One of the elders with a complicated expression sighed and said.
“They are the strongest generation in history, but at the same time they are also the weakest generation in history.”
Everyone was silent. They all understood what this meant. It meant that while his genius talent was the greatest of all time, his skills were the worst of all time.
While observing them, the elders were filled with swearing. What kind of bastards raised these disciples, turning them into greenhouse plants?
If you only develop talent and ability, but do not develop character and will, it is like raising a wolf as a sheep, because the wolf’s teeth are deteriorating.
The elders could not help but be angry when they saw that all the talents of their disciples were wasted.
This was really a shame.
“Don’t be too angry. Furthermore, don’t judge these children by the standards of the Zhongzheng. Since the conditions in the Bianhuang Land are limited, it must not have been easy to train this many disciples. If you suddenly obtain this many geniuses, you will be excited and happy, and you will not want them to be harmed. I can understand. Besides, I have high expectations for the disciples of the Donghuang this time. In particular, I cannot let my guard down the children of the Dragon Blood Corps.”
Wonju Daein said with a smile.
“It’s really rare. He’s average in talent, but his power and actual combat experience are terrifyingly abundant. Especially Yongjin, he’s really like a monster. He easily took care of Han Woon-san and Wi Geum-hae like scolding a child, and Han Woon-san made money by making ships…”
An elder said,
Yongjin’s actions were watched closely by all the elders. When Han Woon-san, a genius of a generation, created a means of transportation and started making money, everyone was speechless.
Yongjin’s head was really different from that of a normal person.
“When you look at the original text, how many people do you think will pass this time?”
An elder asked.
“If you ask me that and I get it wrong, I’ll be embarrassed.”
When Wonju Daein spoke with a smile, the elder who asked the question was embarrassed. The rest of the elders followed Wonju Daein and laughed, waiting for his answer.
After a while, Wonju Daein looked at the screen floating in the air with a slightly serious expression and said.
“Under the pressure of the two sect seniors, the soul is suppressed, reaching even the true heart, so no one can hide the weakness of the heart. The first 333 steps are a test of fear, the middle 333 steps are a test of will, and the last 333 steps are the most difficult test of negative emotions. These disciples are accustomed to a comfortable life and have never experienced the test of life and death. This test of the Heavenly Steps tortures the true heart regardless of natural talent. I will not speculate. If I say it, everyone will feel uncomfortable, so it is better to pray for them.”
While the elders of the presbytery were worried about them, the area in front of the Hyeoncheon stairs was quiet and no one moved around carelessly.
At that time, Yongjin was the first to climb the stairs, and Dangwanah and the others followed him, keeping their distance from him.
Hundreds of thousands of people focused on Yongjin.
“Huh, do you think you’re that great? Is the final evaluation that simple? Let’s just wait for your humiliation!”
Some people made fun of Yongjin.
“You fool, how could a small fourth-rank celestial being like you understand the power of Yongjin Sa-hyeong? Before you judge others, first see if you are worthy of it.”
The people who defended Yongjin were the disciples who had passed through the gate with Yongjin. They had seen Yongjin personally bombard the terrifying 8th-grade demon with one punch. At that time, Yongjin did not show off in front of anyone. Many people were impressed by that. And they realized that a truly great person does not show off. Because there is no need to.
On the other hand, people who brag are relatively inferior because they gain confidence by bragging to others.
“You are from Bukwon, so why are you taking Dong-Hwang’s side?”
The person who had been mocking became angry without realizing it.
“Get out. I just ignore trash like you who have no ability and yet gain self-esteem by showing off. If you’re capable, why don’t you come up here and follow me instead of whining?”
“You must not make a fuss. Anyone who ignores the warning will be disqualified from judging.”
Mok Cheong-hwan came forward and harshly reprimanded the two men.
At that time, Yongjin had already taken the first step.
Mok Cheong-hwan looked at Yong Jin and focused on all the changes in him.
When Yongjin took the first step, he showed no sign of anything.
It felt like I was walking down a normal staircase.
“Does this make sense?”
Mok Cheong-hwan was greatly surprised.
She was a former disciple of the previous rider, so she knew the horrors of this heavenly staircase deeply.
The entire 333 levels were a test of fear.
The added formation and the pressure of the 10th-grade monster increased the fear by a hundredfold, but Yongjin surprisingly showed no reaction. So Mok Cheong-hwan couldn’t help but be surprised.
All the elders inside the elders’ hall were also surprised.
“Could it be that Yongjin doesn’t have even a little bit of fear in his heart? How could that be?”
* * *
Two level 10 demons were looking at Yongjin coldly, and one of them opened its mouth.
“I can feel the breath of my ancestors.”
“Yeah, it seems unusual for a human to be cared for by his ancestors.”
Another dragon answered.
People could not hear their conversation. Outwardly, they made no movement, and no waves could be felt.
The moment Yongjin climbed the stairs, he felt some kind of strange wave rushing towards him. He deliberately did not block it, but allowed it to invade, but it had no effect.
It was because there was no fear in my heart to begin with that I was able to handle this power.
Because he had been through countless life and death choices. This was just a joke.
Not only Yongjin, but also the Dragon Blood Warrior was also affected very little. It was only enough to cause him to frown slightly.
“No way, it was all a bluff.”
As the Dragon Blood Warrior climbed the stairs and about a hundred steps, many people sighed and walked towards the stairs.
But when the one in front climbed the first step, his face turned white, and a look of endless fear appeared in his eyes. His body also trembled.
“I thought there was a problem with the Hyuncheon stairs. Now I feel relieved.”
Mok Cheong-hwan sighed in relief when he saw the disciple’s expression.
The disciple seemed to be struggling in an endless nightmare. His eyes were filled with fear, but he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
However, after climbing about ten steps, he finally fell to the ground, trembling all over. Finally, he stopped moving and was blown away by a ray of light.
“Failed. You are no longer eligible to judge.”
At Mok Cheong-hwan’s words, the disciple’s face turned ashen.
“Brother, what on earth is going on?”
Someone tried to lift the man up and find out what he felt.
“Ten thousand medium-quality Yeongseok.”
The man, still trembling all over, held out one finger and spoke.
“Damn it, why don’t you just steal it?”
The person who was supporting him became very angry.
“Don’t even think about telling me the secret unless you’re going to pay me. I failed the examination. I’m going to turn my failed career into money and get compensated for it! Why!”
The disciple who failed the examination became furious.
The people who were watching this nodded in agreement with his words.
“Okay, I’ll give it to you, tell me.”
Someone threw ten thousand heavy-duty spirit stones at him.
“I will only tell the person who pays. I cannot share it with anyone else.”
The disciple who failed the examination rolled his eyes and made a clever expression.
“What if everyone beats you to death?”
Only then did people become very angry.
The disciple who failed the examination flinched for a moment. In the end, he opened his mouth to avoid getting hit.
“There is a formation on the stairs.”
“You little brat. You’re so crazy you want to die.”
People got angry all of a sudden.
What kind of answer is this? It wasn’t worth a penny.
At that moment, a few impatient people rolled up their sleeves.
“Don’t hit me, don’t hit me, I’m serious, I’m serious!”
The disciple who failed the examination shouted urgently.
“Don’t embarrass him. It’s probably a method of instilling fear. It directly affects the soul. I can’t say for sure because everyone has a different concept of fear.”
Jo Ja-yeon, who had been watching the situation, calmly explained.
Only then did everyone let him go.
Then someone spoke with a questioning look on his face.
“But Yongjin and the Dragon Blood Warriors… … .”
“Maybe they are all fearless people.”
Jo Ja-yeon sighed as she watched them walk up the stairs without any influence.
“When I was with Yongjin, he said that the reason why strong people are strong is because they have the determination to become strong. You need to find out why you are strong and decide on the direction you should focus your efforts on. If you solidify your own center in this way, you can lose your fear.”
A man said.
“It’s all just useless nonsense. To be honest, it’s a question of whether you have the courage or not. If you’re scared of death, don’t come.”
When another person spoke coldly, someone was about to get very angry, but they shut their mouths when they discovered that the other person was the sage of the West, Eom Mak-jin.
“Are you mentally ill, or are you making up strange theories? Come on, warriors of the prologue! Let’s show them! Everything is nonsense in the face of absolute power.”
Eom Mak-jin sneered and took the strong men of the prelude up the stairs. Eom Mak-jin hid what he felt as he climbed the stairs, but many people saw his complexion change.
But Um Mak-jin was definitely strong. He adapted to his condition and continued to move forward. However, those who followed him became worse and worse, but eventually adapted and followed Um Mak-jin.
As the strong man of the prologue moved, Jo Ja-yeon also moved. As she set off, even the disguised followed.
Jo Ja-yeon frowned and increased her speed as she watched the stomach follow her.
Hanunsan also climbed the stairs late.
Seeing all the strong men mobilize, many people joined in succession.
Most people felt extreme discomfort as soon as they climbed the stairs. Some people climbed dozens of stairs and held out, but were eventually eliminated without being able to move.
Many people have come to know that the Hyuncheon Stairs are scary.
With every step I took, I felt like I was getting closer to death.
I also saw an illusion where the front was covered in a sea of fire. It was as if I was advancing into the arms of the god of death.
If I went even a little bit forward, I felt like I would be mercilessly cut down by the scythe of the god of death. The fear was indescribable.
I kept telling myself that they were all fake and just trials, but I could never stop the fear that came from deep within my soul.
