We are told about all the disciples as they experience the dense Qi before climbing the steps. As soon as they set foot on the first step, they feel a slight pressure, which is actually a gravity pressure, as if a variable weight is applied to each step. Under this pressure, only those disciples whose roots are strong and whose minds are stable get a chance to advance easily to the second level through the system.
Those disciples who successfully endure this anti-gravity pressure not only move forward but also experience an increase in their condensation. This improves their energy and strength, and their body refining level becomes absorbable by other disciples. Because of this process, their probability of leveling up increases by up to thirty percent.
For example, if it normally takes a disciple fifty years to reach a refining peak, this anti-gravity pressure reduces that time and gives their condensation a tremendous boost.
All disciples, feeling this special energy, thought that if they managed to endure this pressure in any way, a rapid thirty percent increase in their cultivation would be possible. This boost would accelerate their cultivation and elevate their aura to a different level. This entire process works only in this world; the rules of the Underworld do not apply here.
Then, we see the scene of the main character. He was slowly moving forward among many female and male disciples. His approach was low-profile. He was neither competing nor colliding with anyone. Gradually, the disciples moved ahead of him, but the main character continued forward at his slow pace. The system was also helping him, but he had not yet activated that assistance. Yet, the system interface appeared before the main character; he wanted to feel and endure the anti-gravity pressure himself.
The system had already informed him that upon entering this world, he would receive two things. One of them, a fragment of the system, would go to the main character, upgrading his system. In return, he would also be given various resources. Through a notification, the system told him that his first reward would come in the form of a golden pillar. This pillar would aid his cultivation. If the main character completed Level First, his first task would be completed and he would receive the pillar as a reward.
As the story progressed, the main character moved slowly in his low-profile manner. The system's assistance gradually became active for him, but he had not yet managed to use it. Each step on the stairs felt as if several quintals of weight were placed on his head. He continued forward slowly.
The steps seemed infinite. No disciple could see the end above. The Qi was so dense that the steps ahead were invisible. All the disciples advanced one by one. Meanwhile, some female disciples mocked the main character, calling him a "trash disciple." The main character fell behind, but he began to gradually mature his inner space with the help of the anti-gravity pressure.
As he slowly climbed, he reached a stopping point. Here, he entered cultivation mode. In his inner space, a seed-shaped, three-millimeter stone was created. This stone would be the foundation of his future power.
The outside scene is shown. One day passed. Disciples continued climbing. The main character was lost in his inner cultivation. The next day, the steps began to gradually break. His cultivation boost continued increasing. On the third day, the stone grew to approximately ten millimeters, and the main character reached his cultivation peak.
Finally, he opened his eyes and looked back. The steps were breaking and falling below. If he did not move forward, he would be left behind. All other disciples were no longer visible. The broken steps were clearly visible below. The Qi was so dense that the steps ahead could not be seen. From behind, the view of the entire virtual world was clear. It felt as if he was standing inside a proton, observing everything from above.
The scene in front of him was incredible. All the female disciples who had mocked him were now seen in the distance. These disciples were at a level appropriate for the second level and were not fit to enter this small world. These female disciples mocked the main character so badly that even he felt as if a human beggar were standing before them, and if he touched or spoke, they would become pure or descend into hell. Among these female disciples was a unique kind of pride. They were daughters of wealthy families, and their elegance was truly admirable. Yet, their pride regarding their own appearance was overwhelming, so they looked at the main character with extremely disdainful eyes.
Then, they left the main character behind after saying all of this and moved far ahead on the steps. Among them was a female disciple named Suryan, who had a magnificent figure, with a big derrière and large breasts, looking extremely stunning. She was mocking the main character the most and was the foremost among the 150 disciples climbing the steps. These were daughters of big houses, mocking the main character while moving ahead, leading the steps.
Then, the scene returns to the main character, showing his perspective and struggle as he continues climbing…
