The Heaven-reaching River connects to the Heaven-reaching Stairs, and the Heaven-reaching Stairs lead to the Emperor's Tomb.
The Old Turtle smiled slightly.
He said, "This staircase is the first test.
How solid is your Daoist Heart?
It is not for you or me to decide, but for these Heaven-reaching Stairs to judge."
"Who will go first?"
Longevity True Man glanced at his disciple Shou Zhong and instructed, "You go ahead.
If there is any danger, don't try to be brave.
Come back immediately."
Shou Zhong nodded.
With a light shout, he leaped onto the Heaven-reaching Stairs.
Originally, Shou Zhong intended to leap higher.
But as soon as he approached the Heaven-reaching River, he was struck down by its rushing currents.
Shou Zhong almost couldn't stand firmly and fell onto the first step.
"Young people shouldn't aim too high," the Old Turtle chuckled.
"The path must be traveled step by step.
There are no shortcuts on the Heaven-reaching Path."
