Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1642: Unusual Trial (Part 2)

Chapter 1642: Chapter 731: Unusual Trial (Part 2)

The Celestial Fate Earth Immortal, clad in green robes, nodded after listening to what Yang Longji said and replied, “Let us begin!”

Yang Longji expressed some doubts, “Shouldn’t the Celestial Destiny Immortal exert True Qi and release pressure to test our strength? Just watching me walk over like this?”

The Celestial Fate Earth Immortal smiled slightly and shook his head, speaking with considerable pride:

“I am now in the Earth Immortal Realm. If I were to fully exert the Immortal Primordial Qi within me, releasing pressure, you, a cultivator at the Twelfth Layer of Transcendence, would not be able to approach the trunk of my Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree. You might find even standing there difficult!

Since I’ve accepted the treasures you are using for the trial, I certainly wouldn’t stoop to such bullying tactics.

This trial is not about your realm or cultivation but rather about testing your state of mind. You’ll understand when you walk over there!”

Testing the state of mind?

Yang Longji, who had been confident because of his cultivation technique focused on defense, couldn’t help but frown upon hearing the Celestial Fate Earth Immortal speak.

The concept of state of mind is still less popular in this Little World, which has only begun cultivation for tens of thousands of years… After all, although the Transcendence Realm in this once Absolute Spirit Little World is considered difficult to cultivate, it is still the Transcendence Realm, not yet reaching the stage of Earth Immortal or Middle-High Grade Earth Immortal that requires a state of mind! Almost no sect or clan in this once Absolute Spirit Little World considers cultivating the state of mind as the most important talent and condition for cultivation!

As the second disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, it is naturally so for him as well—it’s the first time he heard that a trial would test the state of mind, making him somewhat apprehensive!

Little did he know, the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, an innate spiritual object, achieved the Earth Immortal Realm through self-cultivation, apart from some opportunities, relying specifically on a state of mind as clear as water and as firm as gold and stone… Not even the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, who is known as the strongest among the Human Race, could achieve the true Earth Immortal Realm through self-cultivation. This Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree managed to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm without consuming the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill after encountering certain opportunities, showcasing its extraordinary talent and remarkably strong state of mind!

This, although related to the fact that the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree is an innate spiritual object of this Little World, also indirectly proves its unique talent, because even Lin Xuankong, a cultivator of the Human Race possessing various fate-defying talents, requires refining and consuming Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm—perhaps Lin Xuankong, after breaking through the Eighteenth Layer of Transcendence and continuing to cultivate, had the possibility of breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm, but that has never occurred in countless Human Race cultivations, and Lin Xuankong never thought of solely relying on self-cultivation without the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm…

At this moment, Yang Longji felt a bit apprehensive in his heart but had no other choice but to forge ahead!

He took a deep breath, steeled his heart, mobilized all his True Qi, and stepped towards the trunk of the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree.

Amongst those around, the cultivators from the Middle Celestial Palace, including Yang Jian’an, were naturally the most nervous, watching Yang Longji, who had started to walk, without blinking. Whether Yang Longji could pass the trial was the only suspense for them to obtain the Celestial Destiny Fruit, their only chance, so how could they not be tense!

On the side of the Beast Race, many strong figures, including the always domineering Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, were also staring intently at Yang Longji. The Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin was certainly trying to glean some experience from Yang Longji’s trial participation, so how could it pass up such a chance to observe!

Among the many cultivators,

the most relaxed ones were the numerous cultivators from the North Celestial Palace!

Neither the three Female Celestial Generals from the North Celestial Palace nor the Generals at the Eleventh Layer of Transcendence showed any signs of nervousness, all watching Yang Longji walking forward with curiosity!

Even if Lin Xuankong couldn’t pass the trial, the purpose of their visit from the North Celestial Palace had been achieved, leaving them naturally relaxed!

As everyone watched,

Yang Longji had already taken tens of steps, having completed nearly one-fifth of the trial’s route,

and until that moment, Yang Longji hadn’t shown any abnormality, his steps were steady, and he showed no special expressions on his face!

Yang Jian’an from the Middle Celestial Palace noticed this, clenched his hands tightly, silently hoping that his junior brother could pass the remaining trial path smoothly, preferably as easily as the path before!

Just as this thought passed through his mind,

the steadily advancing Yang Longji suddenly shivered, stopped abruptly, and the muscles on his face twitched as if he had seen something terrifying, his pupils contracted displaying extreme fear!

Seconds later,

Yang Longji’s body trembled more violently, his facial muscles contorted grotesquely, and his expression became unbearably grim, as if witnessing a terrifying, world-ending scene! His True Qi surged fiercely, forming a thick True Qi Shield around him, covered in variously shaped runes that kept flashing and flickering with strong fluctuations!

Yang Longji had evidently activated his own defense technique spontaneously, and the thick True Qi Shield formed by this technique was apparently quite remarkable! Though this thick True Qi Shield couldn’t match up comprehensively to the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield of the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, not possessing its magical effect of diminishing the opponent’s True Qi while increasing one’s own strength, it wasn’t much different in defense compared to the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield!

However, Yang Longji seemed entrapped in extreme fear; after activating one layer of the thick True Qi Shield, he still appeared very frightened! He actually continuously activated his own defense technique, layer upon layer of thick True Qi Shields appearing on the outside of his body… A large amount of True Qi was being consumed by Yang Longji quickly, soon, a total of nine layers of thick True Qi Shields enveloped him!

Yet with all these True Qi Defense Shields safeguarding him, the sense of panic hadn’t diminished in the slightest, Yang Longji’s facial skin twisted even more, and he dared not proceed with another step forward, even starting to retreat!

Seeing this, many cultivators present showed expressions of surprise.

This second disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, Yang Longji, even if his combat strength wasn’t as good as Yang Jian’an, the chief disciple of the Six True Immortals Emperor, still was a Late Stage Transcendence Realm cultivator adept in defense techniques! The thick True Qi Defense Shield he activated, even if it couldn’t match up to the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield of the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin in defensive capabilities…

Nine layers of thick True Qi Defense Shields already approached the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield’s defense! Just because his realm was the Twelfth Layer of Transcendence, falling behind the realm of the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, that allowed his defense techniques, which seemed extremely exquisite and powerful in this Little World, to fall slightly short in truly matching the defense capabilities of the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield from the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin!

Yet despite all these defense shields, Yang Longji still began to retreat backward….

“The trial is quite strange; the Six Paths Celestial Court’s defense techniques, in terms of self-protection, perhaps surpass the actual defensive ability of the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield, but they still can’t give Yang Longji any confidence and courage to continue forward?

The trial of the heart in the Earth Immortal Realm is indeed not to be underestimated!”

Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin thought silently, the tension in his heart slightly increasing!

From the Middle Celestial Palace, the Chief Disciple of the Six True Immortals Emperor, Yang Jian’an, couldn’t help but send a silent transmission to Yang Longji, “Junior Brother, although I have never participated in this kind of test, I can confidently say that the illusions created by the Celestial Destiny Immortal you are seeing now are definitely fake; do not panic, hurry forward!”
