The Insurmountable Thousand-Meter Height

"Knock knock~"

One heartbeat after another sounded.

At this moment, gazing at the Bodhi Heart a thousand meters in the sky, everyone's hearts seemed to beat as well.

Of course, at this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to that Bodhi Heart the aspiration for enlightenment).

Greed, desire, and other emotions surfaced on everyone's faces.

Even those who have now passed the second test of perception and obtained a Bodhi Seed still yearn to obtain the Bodhi Heart.

It's important to understand that the function of Bodhi Seeds is only to increase a person's chances of breaking through to the Saint Realm.

However, this probability is not 100%!

After all, even if Bodhi Seeds are used as materials to refine Bodhi Pills, it only increases a person's chances of breaking through to the Saint Realm by 20%.

Even Xiao Yan's self-created Bodhi Great Return Pill only increases the probability by 50%.

Although about forty people here have obtained Bodhi Seeds, only about a third of them are likely to actually be able to break through to the Saint Realm with the help of Bodhi Seeds.

However, Bodhi Heart is different!

This is formed from the essence of a thousand years accumulated by Bodhi Ancient Tree.

If a Nine-Transformation Dou Venerable were to refine and absorb it, he would be 100% able to break through to the Saint Realm!

Furthermore, there's a high probability that they'll directly break through to become a true Dou Sheng, rather than Half-Saint.

Tell me, who wouldn't be tempted by such a treasure?

Even those present who were confident in breaking through to the Dou Sheng Realm on their own wouldn't want to miss out on this treasure.

Who wouldn't be happy about something that saves you cultivation time?

No one would complain about breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm too early!

As everyone looked at the Bodhi Heart with longing, Bodhi slowly spoke again, "Next, the third test is also very simple. The Bodhi Heart is right before your eyes. Whoever can grab it, it belongs to them."

Bodhi's tone was very calm.

"Huh? Really? This third test is that easy?"

Some people, skeptical, asked.

The first two trials, while not life-threatening, were progressively more difficult than the last.

But the third test that the Bodhi Ancient Tree's proxy has just described seems far too simple, doesn't it?

Something unusual must be going on!

No one who made it this far is a fool.

Clearly, the simpler a test seems, the more likely it is to be difficult!

"That's right, this third test is just that."

Bodhi spoke in a tone that made it impossible for others to discern any emotion in him.

"Then, in the process, is it possible to stop others?"

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

As soon as the person finished asking the question, the others reacted instantly, and each of them was startled.

"This third test has no restrictions. If anyone is seriously injured as a result and loses the ability to seize the Bodhi Heart, I will send them away from this place. However, this also means that they have lost the qualification to continue competing for the Bodhi Heart."

Bodhi provided the answer for everyone.

Only then did everyone finally understand the difficulty of this seemingly simple third test.

The real difficulty in a relationship lies not in the third test itself, but in the fact that the two people are each other's rivals!

This situation is quite disadvantageous for temporary teams.

Since their goal is the Bodhi Heart —there is naturally no possibility of continued cooperation in this third test.

"Call out"

Sure enough, the moment Bodhi finished speaking, someone's figure had already darted out.

Clearly, this is someone who wants to seize the initiative.

"Damn it! How could he..."

"Bang"

No sooner had someone uttered a curse than they realized that the person who had just flown out had fallen to the ground from mid-air.

This caused the person who was cursing to swallow back the words they hadn't finished saying.

"W-what happened? Did someone just attack him?"

This incredibly bizarre scene left everyone else shocked and bewildered.

After all, they hadn't seen anyone attack the person who had fallen to the ground!

Among them were even several powerful experts at the Nine-Transformation Dou Venerable.

"This shouldn't be an attack launched by someone, but rather another challenge to reach a thousand meters in the air and attain Bodhi Heart!"

Another person offered their analysis.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention turned to the person who had just "jumped the gun".

Under everyone's gaze, the person who had "jumped the gun" looked utterly dejected.

So he's been made a "guinea pig"?

"... The higher you fly, the more terrifying the pressure becomes!"

The person who "jumped the gun" began to explain.

"Buzz~"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his body was enveloped in a green light.

He was then sent out of this space.

"I apologize, but I forgot to tell you all that those who fall from the sky will be disqualified from continuing to compete for the Bodhi Heart!"

After making a Buddha's hand gesture, Bodhi spoke again and added a sentence.

Everyone: "..."

They now strongly suspect that Bodhi did it on purpose!

If it weren't for the "guinea pigs" who "jumped the gun," most of them would probably have been eliminated on the spot and sent away.

Of course, after this incident, no one dared to be careless again.

Everyone now has a general idea of what this so-called third test is.

It means you have to guard against others around you preventing you from getting close to a thousand meters in the air and attaining Bodhi Heart, while also resisting the increasing terrifying pressure as you fly higher.

"Buzz~"

Seeing that everyone finally understood the content of the third trial, Bodhi's figure disappeared once again.

Then, in a secluded corner, Xiao Lin and Bodhi, who had been hiding, began to watch the spectacle again.

"Hey, another challenging yet meaningful test, isn't it?"

Xiao Lin said with a smug look on his face.

"Yes, I admire you immensely!"

Bodhi's admiration for Xiao Lin increases by 1.

That's right, this third trial was also proposed by Xiao Lin and set up by the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

In short, he just happens to have nothing to do right now, so he's just playing around!

Subsequently, under the covert observation of Xiao Lin and Bodhi, the group began their struggle for the Bodhi Heart a thousand meters in the air.

This short kilometer, in the past, could be reached in a single step by a group of powerful individuals above the Dou Venerable.

But now, this distance of a thousand meters is truly like a chasm in everyone's eyes!

Basically, the pressure you face doubles every hundred meters!

This has led to the fact that this group of forty or so powerful individuals at the Dou Venerable or above are not flying, but rather climbing stairs.

Watching the crowd, their faces flushed red, slowly ascending as if constipated, Xiao Lin was overjoyed.

Yes, Xiao Lin is building his happiness on the suffering of others!

Furthermore, as Bodhi watched this scene, his eyes seemed to grow brighter and brighter...
