Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"Do you think Gu Ye can even climb five thousand steps...?"

"I think it's difficult. Even if he can surpass Cui Lieqiong, the five thousand steps are a test of comprehension..."

"Does anyone know anything about Gu Ye?"

At this moment, on the 4,999th step of the Ascending God Staircase, Gu Ye gazed at the empty staircase ahead, which gleamed with a cold, sharp sword light.

After a moment's hesitation, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he resolutely took the final step, landing steadily on the fifth thousandth step.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted and changed. Gu Ye felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in an ancient and vast martial arts arena.

The bluestone pavement was covered with the marks of time, and mottled stone pillars stood all around. A faint spiritual energy permeated the air. He took this step with unusual ease, without the slightest discomfort, as if he had stepped into another space.

At this moment, a line of text appeared before Gu Ye's eyes:

"Enlightenment! Master the fist technique and defeat the wooden dummy!"

After Gu Ye finished reading, the golden ancient characters transformed into specks of spiritual light and dissipated into the air.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the martial arts arena. Tall and composed, with a steady aura, he didn't waste any words, immediately unleashing a set of punches.

"I can help you cheat, but I don't recommend you do it," Ye Xihuang said.

Gu Ye stared at the dark figure in front of him, his brows furrowed, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Is it because this set of fist techniques is also considered a Card Master skill?"

"Um!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ye's eyes flashed with excitement. Being able to get a card master skill for free was a huge win.

If other ordinary card masters could reach this point, and advance a few more levels, they could get a few more card master skills for free.

Gu Ye quickly composed himself, cleared his mind of distractions, and fixed his gaze on the dark figure in the center of the arena, memorizing every move and every point of force.

As his mind became increasingly absorbed, the core principles of the boxing technique were transmitted to him through the shadowy figure.

Actually, it was Ye Xihuang who was helping him, greatly reducing the difficulty of his learning.

Other candidates didn't receive this treatment; they all relied purely on their aptitude for learning...

As Gu Ye stepped onto the five thousand steps, the stone tablet below displayed Gu Ye's achievements.

In an instant, the crowd around the stone tablet erupted in chaos. Exclamations of surprise, envy, curiosity, and excitement mingled together, echoing across the entire mountaintop.

"My God! He really did it! He really climbed five thousand steps!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Without exception, everyone was curious about Gu Ye's identity. No one had ever heard of this name, let alone knew which family or power he came from.

Among the crowd, a few people had complex expressions, some angry, some surprised and silent.

Li Jie stared intently at the name in the second position on the stone tablet, his eyes flashing with anger and resentment, and said through gritted teeth:

"I don't believe this is that lowly commoner Gu Ye; it must be a coincidence of names."

"It might not really be him!" The image of the person who cut off his arm in the Blood Demon Forest flashed through Yang Haochen's mind.

He didn't believe it could be Gu Ye, but a slight sense of panic crept into his heart.

Those who knew Gu Ye all knew it must be him.

As the sun gradually set over Tianding Mountain, its golden afterglow spilled onto the [Ascending God Stairs], making the sword blades gleam.

Most of the examinees on the [Ascending the Divine Staircase] had exhausted their spiritual energy and physical strength, and they came down one after another, each looking tired but with a hint of joy at their accomplishment.

Standing on the steps, Gu Ye suddenly opened his eyes, as if countless dark shadows appeared in them. He practiced the nameless fist technique over and over again, his moves becoming more and more skillful and his fist intent becoming more and more intense.

After a moment, Gu Ye regained his composure. "Phew~" He exhaled a breath of stale air and looked up at the steps in front of him.

"That's enough. We still have more than ten days to go. There's no need to go all the way up at once."

After saying that, Gu Ye turned around and walked down the stairs. He descended the stairs with ease, without feeling any pressure.

"Why hasn't Gu Ye come down yet!" Luo Yueyao looked anxiously at the [Ascension Staircase] in front of her, but Gu Ye's figure still hadn't appeared.

They already knew that Gu Ye had made it to second place and were very worried about his safety.

At this moment, a group of examinees and church members have gathered at the foot of the [Ascending God's Long Stairs].

The Yanxia Federation was there to protect Gu Ye, while the other federations and church members had ulterior motives.

As the last person descended the [Ascension Steps], they still hadn't seen Gu Ye come down.

However, the top-ranked candidates knew that Gu Ye was still processing his findings and waited quietly.

After waiting for a while, Gu Ye's figure finally came into everyone's view.

He walked down the steps one step at a time, his breathing a little disordered.

"They're here!"

Everyone looked up at Gu Ye, their gazes filled with disdain, joy, and jealousy.

Gu Ye looked down at the crowd below, a smirk playing on his lips, his eyes filled with indifference.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock!"

Gu Ye descended the steps, his boots striking the sound of his longsword, each strike seemingly hitting their hearts with pinpoint accuracy.

The atmosphere among the crowd below grew increasingly tense and became extremely quiet.

Gu Ye descended to the last step, took a deep breath, and felt that he could no longer suppress the opportunity to break through the barrier.

As he took his final step onto the [Ascension Staircase], his aura surged, and spiritual energy churned.

Suddenly, a "click" sound rang in his ears, and Gu Ye's cultivation level successfully advanced to the tenth level of Bronze.

Upon seeing this, the crowd below suddenly erupted into chaos.

"How is that possible? How could he only advance to the tenth level of Bronze?"

"Oh my god! He actually reached the 5,000th level with only the strength of a ninth-tier Bronze cultivator..."

As exclamations of surprise spread, the other federal examinees and members of the Church of Evil God all stared at Gu Ye with dangerous eyes.

Upon seeing this, the examinees from the Yanxia Federation quickly surrounded Gu Ye, keeping a close eye on the others.

"What do you want to do!" Cui Lieqiong roared. His personality was just like his name: irritable and easily angered.

"Hand over that kid. We can tell he's not from your aristocratic family."

A blonde, blue-eyed Western woman stood at the front of the crowd, her tone threatening, her rapier pointing directly at Gu Ye.

Nie Xinghe has already surpassed them. They can't defeat the Nine Earth Federation, so how could they not defeat the Yanxia Federation? They won't allow anyone else to be so powerful, especially not someone from the Yanxia Federation.

"Block it~~"

"You're talking nonsense! He's a Chinese from Yanxia. Holloway, if you want to fight, we're ready."

Cui Lieqiong, with a volatile temper, reached out and knocked the sword out of Holloway's hand, his eyes filled with rage.

"You~~!"

Holloway had no intention of fighting them. There were ten forces in the [Tianding Mountain] card domain.

It would be a bad deal if they were ambushed by other federations while they were fighting the Yanxia Federation.

Other federations are eyeing this country covetously. In Holloway's view, no federation can stand up to the other three major federations and develop to its current state like the Yanxia Federation.

People from other factions all had reservations and didn't want to be the first to stick their necks out.

Even if the members of the evil god's church are completely brainless, they understand that the current balance will not be broken so easily.

In the end, this grand coup ended in a rather anticlimactic manner.
