'It seems that this is also a part of the trial, ' Rocky thought to himself. After briefly realizing the situation, he immediately calmed himself. However, things did not quite go as he expected. In fact, the more he wanted to calm down, the more his thoughts and emotions became disoriented.
"The Buddha's voice comes from the heart, and it has the ability to heal all creatures."
Out of nowhere, a voice suddenly echoed in Rocky's mind.
"The Buddha's voice comes from the heart? It seems that this voice is not from an external source. It is coming from my heart!" Rocky instantly came to his senses and added, "If one doesn't believe in Buddhism, then he will hear nothing!"
As Rocky collected himself and cast aside everything else, the voice suddenly disappeared from his head.
On the other hand, the other candidates were still affected by the voice and were struggling to figure out how to get rid of it.
Right after Rocky passed the challenge, he proceeded towards the temple to reach the gate and continue the trials.
However, the moment he got through the other side of the gate, he was welcomed by sharp, tall cliffs and countless mountains that surrounded the place where he stood. The scene was actually splendid, but he did not dare to be careless since he did not know what kind of danger awaited him.
After exploring the area for quite a bit, Rocky found that he was standing on the top of one of the mountains. Then, he saw a narrow path that seemed to lead somewhere.
Seeing no other way to proceed, Rocky ventured along this path and soon reached the end of a cliff.
At this moment, Rocky saw that there were already other people who came before him. Two high-grade and three middle-grade Spiritual Emperors stood there with restless expressions on their faces. It seemed that they were stuck and were not able to move forward.
They were sure that it was the right way, but there was no path to go forth.
"Maybe this is just a dead end. Should we go back? We cannot waste our time here."
"Really? We didn't see any other path aside from this one, did we?"
"I know. But how can we get over this cliff?"
Just as these candidates were close to going back, they were all surprised to see that Rocky also appeared to where they were. At the back of their minds, they were confident that the gap in strength between them and Rocky was huge. Hence, they could not fathom how he was able to catch up to them so soon.
Rocky knew what was running on in their minds, but he deliberately chose not to pay attention to their malicious gazes. Then, he looked intently at the cliff in front of him.
As he looked down, he saw that it was like an abyss that was covered with thick clouds. The nearest cliff from where they were was at least a few hundred meters away. However, since their spiritual power was suppressed right after they entered the Spiritual Divine Land, they would not be able to fly to the other side.
Then, as Rocky thought of what to do next, he was reminded by something that suddenly flashed through his mind. "If there is something in the heart, then there is also something in front of the eyes," he softly mumbled. Meanwhile, Colton and the other big shots were all paying close attention to Rocky's progress in the trial.
Right now, they learned that he had already arrived at the cliff. It seemed that they knew that this would be a difficult test for most candidates.
"This cliff is a test of the strength of one's will."
"That's right. It actually doesn't matter even if they were all high-grade Spiritual Emperors. If they don't have enough willpower, there is no way that they could pass this test."
"I have to say that the best way to deal with it is to make a detour and find another way. Although it will take more time, it is much safer than taking the risk of crossing the cliff!"
The elders of the Di Clan were very familiar with this cliff. Hence, they knew how difficult it was to get past it. Even they suggested that it was better to make a detour just to be sure. However, the dilemma of the candidates was if they had enough time to do that.
An hour later, more and more candidates began crowding by the cliff. The first ones who got there were still stuck, not knowing how to proceed from there. As the newcomers saw that even the high-grade Spiritual Emperors could not find a way to proceed, many of them shook their heads in dejection and felt hopeless.
However, just as when everyone felt that their only choice was to head back, Rocky suddenly made an insane move and directly jumped off the cliff.
"What the hell? Does he have a death wish?"
