Xu Zimo and Lin Ruhu crossed the central courtyard.
The rear courtyard was the most crucial part of Zhuge Manor.
The moment they entered, they immediately discovered how extraordinary this place was.
Before them stood layer upon layer of Stairways to Heaven.
The Stairways to Heaven soared into the clouds. At a glance, they seemed to pierce straight into the heavens, leaving people gazing up at them, unable to climb higher.
Clouds and mist swirled around them, while heaven's might surged mightily.
Xu Zimo looked up and vaguely seemed to see figures upon the stairs.
"Third trial, Stairways to Heaven, Stairways to Heaven!" the oriole behind them began shouting again.
"Then let's see what makes these heavenly stairs different," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
He led Lin Ruhu onto the stairway.
The moment he stepped onto the first stair, Xu Zimo felt gravity press down on him.
It was as though a hundredfold gravity had descended upon his body.
More importantly, the gravity was not fixed. It adjusted itself according to the strength of whoever climbed the stairs.
For example, although Xu Zimo and Lin Ruhu both endured a hundredfold gravity, Xu Zimo was stronger, so his hundredfold gravity had been raised according to his own strength.
Lin Ruhu naturally could not compare to him.
"It's been a long time since I last took a gravity trial," Lin Ruhu said with a smile.
In truth, many sects included such tests when recruiting new disciples.
However, Xu Zimo and Lin Ruhu had not encountered one in a long time.
Naturally, gravity could not harm either of them. Though a hundredfold gravity was powerful, once they unleashed their formidable strength—
They still advanced steadily, until they had climbed a hundred steps.
Xu Zimo discovered that the gravity around him had vanished.
