Inside the ancient village, Liang Keqing saw Ren Feng step onto the rope ladder, and his whole body seemed to freeze there for a moment, only moving to climb after a long while.
"What's going on?"
Liang Keqing was puzzled.
"This rope ladder is the only path to the mountaintop, but the experience of climbing it is different from what we perceive," Elder Zhuyang explained, standing nearby. "The rope ladder, the Gu room encountered earlier, and Knife Mountain were all arranged by the master wizard himself. To see him, one must endure these trials."
Liang Keqing nodded: "What does this rope ladder test?"
"Willpower." Zhuyang looked at Ren Feng on the rope ladder. "The time he perceives inside can be exponentially longer. Without remarkable will and perseverance, he cannot ascend."
"Is it really that terrifying?" Liang Keqing felt a sense of dread.
"Yes, it is arranged by the master wizard," Elder Zhuyang nodded solemnly.
