chapter 1 Fighting for the Immortal Road

Xonoria Peak, a mountain covered in endless mist.

The peak has a winding Horizon Road with 9999 steps.

Hundreds of people in their teens, 20s, and even 30s showed up, working their way up.

Everyone looked in pain, as if something was pressing on them.

The sky was dark, the stars hung above the Milky Way, and a huge bright moon was perfect.

There were thousands of people on the steps, but most of them were lying on the steps, breathing weakly, as if they were dead.

There were still 100 steps away from the top of the mountain, and a young man in thin clothes was lying on the steps with his eyes closed, motionless.

Suddenly, his body trembled slowly, and his eyes opened in confusion.

"Where...is this?"

In doubt, a huge torrent of information poured into his mind.

It wasn't until the pain subsided that he understood what was going on.

His name is Benito, he comes from Clusia, and he time travels to this young man named Benito Thompson.

This young man Benito Thompson came to seek immortality. This place is Xonoria Peak- Horizon Road.

Every ten years, young people from all over the Chronosia will enter here.

Go through the fog of confusion on the periphery, find the Horizon Road on Xonoria Peak , climb to the top of the mountain, and then worship at the Immortal Gate.

Young Benito Thompson had climbed up to this point since midnight last night. When he reached this step, he could no longer hold on and fell down.

For unknown reasons, Benito possessed his body and was reborn in this world.

Knowing the cause and effect, Benito noticed that there was a thin purple tree in his mind.

The thin wood is covered with mysterious patterns, one foot long, two to three millimeters thick, and about one inch wide. It has an irregular shape and is surrounded by purple light. There are three rays of light in the purple light, swimming like fish.

"Is this the wood chip I picked up on the way home? That's probably why I came here."

"Now the question is, what next?"

His expression changed, and he slowly stood up.

Looking around, there was thick fog everywhere, making it impossible to see the end.

"Keep going up, maybe you can reach the top and worship at the Immortal Gate."

"If it goes down, then you have to give up."

"Cultivation to immortality, what countless people longed for in the past life, do I want to give up?"

Benito face was blank. Thinking of his ordinary and bleak life in his previous life, his eyes gradually became firm.

"Don't give up. This may be an opportunity to change your destiny."

"There are immortals in this world, so I Benito to seek stability."

His body is still weak and has not returned to its peak due to his possession.

He took tired steps and walked forward.

The moment he stepped onto the next step, an inexplicable pressure appeared out of thin air. "

He felt as if his spirit was suppressed by something, and a kind of boredom enveloped his heart.

"Is this the effect of Horizon Road?"

"With every step you take, the pressure will increase a little bit?"

His body was trembling slightly as his spirit was suppressed.

But Benito did not give up. He supported his legs with both hands and took another step.

The pressure continued to increase, and he seemed to bend down under the pressure, but he still did not flinch, taking step after step, and gradually disappeared into the mist.

As the pressure continued to increase, Benito didn't know how much time had passed.

He felt as if his spirit was paralyzed, and his vision was dim except for the stairs.

Suddenly, my whole body relaxed, and I stumbled to my knees. My eyes widened, all the pressure disappeared, and the fog also dissipated.

A dozen figures stood in front, three of them were the most dazzling, and their bodies were filled with a mysterious light.

A man was wearing a yellow robe, with white hair and a childlike face. His face was peaceful, and his clothes, utensils, and furniture were all emitting precious light. He seemed to be a true cultivator of the Tao.

One person was wearing mysterious clothes and carrying a long sword that emitted gleaming treasure. The sword's eyebrows and starry eyes were arrogant, and its sharp aura made people's hearts tremble.

The only woman among the three, she is wearing a pink fairy dress with water sleeves, a gold hairpin on her head, and a phoenix ring in her hand. She has big eyes, a beautiful nose, and a small cherry mouth, but she is as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her pink face is evil.

At this time, the three people's eyes fell on him.

"Here comes another one," the sword-wielding man glanced sharply at Benito, causing his skin to tingle.

"Let me see the spiritual root qualifications."

He raised his hand slightly, and a mysterious mirror appeared in his palm, shining at Benito.

A faint bright light fell on Benito, and a colorful light lit up above his head.

Feeling the colorful light, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Is this a test of spiritual root qualifications? Five colors, do you think it is good or bad?"

The sharp man said slightly disappointedly, "The Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root is too bad. I don't want it in the Divine Sword Sect."

The pink woman shook her head, "My Divine Women Sect only wants women, not men."

The old Taoist with crane hair and childish face glanced around and shook his head slightly, "The Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root is indeed too bad."

The old man is slightly regretful that he can climb Horizon Road and has passed the test of willpower, but his qualifications are not enough and there is no hope for immortality.

Benito listening to the words of the three people, Wu Dao's face turned pale and his heart felt cold.

"No one likes me, what should I do? I can't give up this opportunity."

Looking at the three people who wanted to become immortals, Benito looked solemn and had already made up his mind.

He stood up from the ground, took a few steps towards the old man with white hair and boyish face, clasped his hands in his fists, and bent down to salute.

"I beg the Immortal Master to accept me as your disciple."

The old Taoist priest with Benito with a trace of surprise on his face, as if he was shocked by Benito's boldness.

The sword-wielding man and pink-clothed woman on the side looked at the old Taoist with gray hair and childlike face with amused expressions.

Lao Dao looked Benito up and down and seemed to be interested, "There are three people here, why are you looking for me."

Benito heart moved, and his face condensed, "The immortal is graceful."

"First, I listened to everything the three Immortals said and did."

"I am a five-element mixed spiritual root, a sword-wielding immortal."

"The sect where the female immortal chief only accepts women."

"Only the Taoist Master's eyes stayed on the boy for a moment."

"It seems to be a pity, letting the boy see a glimmer of hope."

"Secondly, the Taoist priest's clothes, fly whisk, boots, and hairpin all have precious light."

"The boy seems to have a reason, just like an ordinary businessman or nobleman."

"A noble person must wear gold, silver, silk and satin. From this, you must be the best among the immortal masters."

"Thirdly, here in the wilderness, along the Horizon Road, I have exhausted all my energy and have no solid food to eat."

"If you can't worship the Immortal Sect, you will definitely die."

"Rather than just waiting to die, it's better to give it a try and find a way out."

"The above three points are what I think about. I hope that immortals will favor me and give me a path to immortality."

After saying that, Benito clasped his fists with both hands and bowed to the end.

Benito's words were calm and powerful, and the sword-wielding man next to Lao Dao frowned when he heard the words.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, this boy is not bad. He is so young and has so much knowledge."

"Observing the details, I can see so many doubts within a short period of time. I have a keen mind and extraordinary understanding."

"It's a pity that the Five Elements Miscellaneous Spiritual Root is really too poor to achieve anything in our Divine Sword Sect, otherwise I could accept it."

The face of the woman in pink clothes on the side was equally moved, "The road to immortality is a struggle. With this enlightenment, this boy has surpassed many ignorant people."

"Although the Five Elements Miscellaneous Spiritual Roots are poor, it doesn't mean you can't get started."

"Seraphim, can you consider it?"
