On the sixtieth step, Mo Xiaofei wiped away her sweat. Though the Pressure had drained all color from her pretty face, she had not given up a single step.
She had still underestimated the Pressure of Sky-Piercing Mountain. Even after reaching peak human tier, she found herself unable to advance or retreat at the sixtieth step.
Only now did she realize that climbing Sky-Piercing Mountain depended not on strength, but on willpower and stamina.

An exceptionally gifted female martial artist rubbed her eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "W-who on earth is he?!"
The cultivators beside her exchanged glances, each seeing bewilderment
