Song Ciwan stood on the steps, feeling the air around her grow heavy.
At this moment, though she was climbing stairs, it felt as if she were wading through a thick, heavy bog.
'These steps are strange!'
No wonder Old Jin up ahead was kowtowing with every step.
Song Ciwan looked up. Old Jin was already about a third of the way up the steps. Clearly, kowtowing with each step was the most convenient way to relieve the pressure from the stairs.
Song Ciwan paused to think. 'Kowtowing to seek immortality... Is the Seeking Immortal Tower testing the piety of an Immortal Seeker, or... is this just a show of force to intimidate us?'
If there was nothing wrong with the Golden Core Dao, Song Ciwan would naturally assume this was a way of testing piety.
However, after everything she had learned along the way, she was already suspicious of the so-called Golden Core Dao. That being the case, she didn't hesitate to assume the worst.
