“I think it’s impossible for anyone to go up this step!”
Someone in the crowd said this, and it immediately caused a chain reaction.
“That’s right. A hundred people have tried, but no one can go up. Something’s not right.”
“So what? We have to try. We can’t miss such a precious opportunity!”
“Look, the next one is an old man!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in his seventies staggering towards the arena.
Although the Qiantang River Square was in the scenic area, the ticket counter was set at the back of the square. This made many old people come to the square before dawn to do Tai Chi to strengthen their bodies.
This old man was clearly one of them. He was still wearing a white training suit. But everyone didn’t have high hopes for him when they saw him staggering. Even the people who had failed in the distance could not help but dissuade him.
“Grandpa, don’t try anymore. Try again and something bad will happen!”
“That’s right, Grandpa. None of us can do it. You’re already so old. You can’t survive!”
“Damn it, why is this old man so stubborn!”
This old man ignored the voices of the others and just walked towards the arena. The old man was also a little nervous. It was obvious to the naked eye that he was a little uneasy. He approached the steps step by step, his eyes gradually burning.
The old man kept encouraging himself in his heart. The faith in his heart was even stronger than other young people.
In the old man’s opinion, his life had been ordinary. Everything was going according to plan. Now, he is old, he might die in a few years.
Su Yun’s appearance gave him hope. Perhaps this was the opportunity he had been regretting, but he could not come back and live again. He had seen what had happened previously, so when he came to the steps, the old man seemed a little hesitant.
However, a few seconds later, the old man seemed to have made a major decision. He gritted his teeth and stepped on the steps. It was also at this moment that Su Yun, who had been closing his eyes like an ancient Buddha, seemed to have sensed something and slowly opened his eyes.
The old man had already stepped on the first step. To everyone’s surprise, although the old man’s expression was painful, he was not as miserable as the others. This weight made the old man feel a huge resistance, as if the bones in his body were being compressed high-intensity. However, this did not make the old man give up. Instead, he kept encouraging himself in his heart.
“It’s not a big deal. I’ve lived for so long. I’ve already gotten over death. What else can’t I resist?” With this thought in mind, the old man took another step forward while breathing heavily.
Everyone who was watching widened their eyes. It had to be known that many young and strong people had been eliminated on the first step. Yet this old man, who looked like he was swaying as he walked, had created an almost miraculous breakthrough. When he stepped into the second stone step, the old man immediately realized in confusion that the resistance here was even smaller.
The first step was like a few mountains, but the second step was not even more difficult. This made the old man, who originally felt that he had to try his best even if he failed, see hope. He tried his best to adjust his condition excitedly and walked up again.
The second step… the third step…
Just as more and more people felt that no one could go up at all, this old man finally stepped on the arena as if he was walking on flat ground. Not to mention everyone, even Big Head Yang and Lin Xiao were stunned. They did not expect that the first person to succeed would be this old man who no one thought highly of.
The old man stood in the arena excitedly, as if he could not believe that this was real. He trembled as he came in front of Su Yun, looking a little helpless. Looking at Su Yun, who exuded an otherworldly aura and looked like a sage, the old man felt like kneeling. Although he was young, he was unfathomable.
Su Yun slowly opened his eyes. The old man realized that his body seemed to be supported by something. He could not kneel at all.
Looking at the nervous old man in front of him, Su Yun’s voice sounded without any emotion. “There is seniority in the entry of Dao, but there’s no such thing in achieving the Dao. Those who can step into this place are cultivators of this Dao.”
The old man was clearly excited to be able to come into contact with Su Yun at such a close distance. He nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In the beginning, he only wanted to give it a try. Even if he failed, he would at least not regret it. He did not expect that walking into the arena was even lighter than he had imagined. For some reason, not only did he not feel any other pain, but he also felt that his body was much lighter.
Looking at the elder in front of him, Su Yun consciously enveloped him with a portion of his supernatural aura.
“The Dao emphasizes comprehension. If one’s mind is united, there will naturally be a technique!”
The old man’s turbid eyes were filled with confusion. Su Yun’s words left him at a loss. He tried to follow Su Yun’s instructions and gently closed his eyes. He guarded his mind and calmed himself down. And he immediately sensed a strange change in his body.
