The Mountain of Blades, also known as the Ladder to Heaven, is an inverted V-shaped structure composed of forty razor-sharp blades. Lin Mo and Lin Hu must not only climb to the top but also climb back down. In fact, the descent is far more dangerous than the ascent. Unlike the trials of water and fire, crossing the Mountain of Blades requires precise technique and absolute control over one's body.
Liu Ruyan’s heart tightened. While the previous trials of water and fire were difficult, the harm they caused was not immediately visible. The Mountain of Blades, however, was different. If an injury occurred, blood would flow the moment a foot touched a blade, a sight far more visceral and distressing than the previous challenges.
"Is the protective layer of ash really effective?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask. The thin coating of soot looked less sturdy than a plastic bag; could it really protect the children's tender soles from the blades?
