Chapter 1644: Chapter 732: As Difficult as Ascending to Heaven (Part 2)
Yang Longji, standing beside Yang Jian’an, had gradually lost his panic, but his eyes still held a hint of trepidation. He whispered:
“The illusions of the Celestial Destiny Immortal are so marvelous that they can’t be distinguished as real or fake. And the illusions that appear are manifestations of the deepest fears in the cultivator’s heart. Such a mental trial is as difficult as climbing to the heavens! This has nothing to do with cultivation or realm, it points directly to the depths of the divine soul!”
The many cultivators from the North Celestial Palace, including the Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing, all had slight changes in their expressions upon hearing the low murmur of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor’s second disciple.
Although Yang Longji’s fame in the Star River wasn’t as great as the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor’s chief disciple Yang Jian’an, it was no less than the Palace Masters of the Four Celestial Palaces who once dominated the Star River. Compared to the old Northern Celestial Palace Master Mo Liqing, he was almost the same! It was only in recent years that Mo Liqing and the Northern Celestial War Emperor Li Changming, thanks to reaching the Thirteenth Layer and Fourteenth Layer of Transcendence respectively, had their renown surpass Yang Jian’an and Yang Longji!
Now, this very famous second disciple, known for his defensive cultivation technique, was scared like this by the trial of the Celestial Destiny Earth Immortal…
Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing couldn’t help but frown and looked at Lin Xuankong with concern in a low voice: “Xuankong, you shouldn’t feel too pressured, anyway, we already have two Celestial Destiny Fruits in hand; even if you can’t pass the trial ahead smoothly, we have enough fruits to refine the elixir you need!”
At these words, Lin Xuankong felt a bit speechless.
If this trial of the Celestial Destiny Earth Immortal were a combat trial…facing the already Earth Immortal realm and the enormous size, with its unknown abundant Immortal Yuan, powerful Earth Immortal, Lin Xuankong might still wonder what cultivation technique to use to make the battle as easy as possible to win! But this trial was targeting the cultivator’s divine soul and mental state…
Having been through countless life-and-death battles in the Supreme Origin Realm and the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, facing beings far superior to a Celestial Destiny Earth Immortal, how could Lin Xuankong possibly care about the mental trial of a small Initial-Grade Earth Immortal! Moreover, even before he became a Celestial Immortal, under the tempering of powerful celestial tribulations, his divine soul had already grown immensely strong. After achieving Celestial Immortal, the strength and resilience of his divine soul were hundreds or even thousands of times that of ordinary Strongest Immortal Lords, far beyond the reach of a simple illusion cast by a Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree at the level of an Initial-Grade Earth Immortal!
By his side, the Northern Celestial War Emperor Li Changming heard Mo Liqing’s words and couldn’t help but laugh softly, “Rest assured, Northern Celestial Emperor, the resilience of Mr. Profound Void’s divine soul and heart nature is beyond your imagination. Participating in such a trial, Mr. Profound Void, whether half awake or asleep, will definitely pass through it with ease!”
Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing, seeing Li Changming’s confidence, sighed and said, “I hope so!”
While Mo Liqing had always been very confident in Lin Xuankong, this trial that…even the second disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor could only manage to persist through a fifth of the trial journey before being utterly defeated, faced with such a difficult and peculiar trial, faced with an Earth Immortal realm Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, Mo Liqing was still somewhat worried!
The Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, clad in green, saw Li Changming taking its trial so lightly and couldn’t help but let its face turn cold, saying coldly, “I do hope that someone can pass my mental trial, so that at least no one says my Celestial Destiny is bullying the young with the big! Alas, alas, my trial has never been completed throughout history! Passing with ease…this Taoist friend is underestimating my trial and underestimating the means of a true Earth Immortal!”
The Northern Celestial War Emperor Li Changming cast a glance at the green-clad Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, shook his head, and said no more, yet in his heart, he was full of confidence in Lin Xuankong!
Now, when his master Lin Xuankong was about to participate in the trial to obtain a Celestial Destiny Fruit, at a time like this, fighting or retorting against this Celestial Destiny Earth Immortal would certainly cause trouble if he directly decided not to go along!
This usually talkative fellow actually went silent to ensure Lin Xuankong could smoothly participate in the trial and obtain a Celestial Destiny Fruit.
On the side of the Beast Race,
The many powerful beast clan members and the Cyan-Scaled Giant Dragon frowned deeply after listening to Li Changming, the Celestial Destiny, and the Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing.
For these powerful figures of the Beast Race, if the Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing, with her Fourteenth Layer of Transcendence realm, participated, she might finish the trial, but Lin Xuankong…the numerous powerful beast clan members and those Cyan-Scaled Giant Dragons had never even heard of Lin Xuankong’s name! Even if they had heard about Lin Xuankong’s artifact refining skills, they would never believe he could complete the trial ‘with ease’, especially when the second disciple of the Six Paths Celestial Court’s True Immortal Emperor participated and only reached a fifth of the trial road!
After a moment of silence,
The powerful Ancestral Qiu Jin of the Thirteenth Layer of Transcendence from the Beast Race approached the green-clad Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree Earth Immortal and respectfully spoke, “Celestial Destiny Immortal, this junior is willing to undertake the mental trial. I hope the senior can lower the trial’s difficulty in light of the Beast Race offering Sanmei Gold. If so, I will certainly call upon countless cultivators in the Beast Race to accomplish some tasks for the Celestial Destiny Immortal!”
The Celestial Destiny Earth Immortal nodded slightly, “The treasure Sanmei Gold you offered does not outshine the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword of the Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing, nor the Divine Marvelous Pill Nine Derivation Pill from Yang Jian’an, but it is indeed a rare treasure hard to find across the Star River. I hope that you, the Ancestor of the Beast Race, can pass the trial!”
“However, once my trial array is activated, it will continuously operate until the array is broken. So, once the trial array starts, whether you can pass the trial depends entirely on your heart nature and luck!”
The Beast Race Ancestor’s expression gradually became solemn upon hearing this, and he then stepped forward step by step towards the peak of the trial path,
The strong ones from the Golden Horn Clan and the Cyan-Scaled Giant Dragons of the Beast Race held their breath with anticipation in their hearts, hoping that their Ancestor could successfully pass the trial!
The other cultivators from the Middle Celestial Palace and the North Celestial Palace also focused their attention on the position of the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin.
The Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin took a deep breath and activated the abundant True Qi within,
Instantly,
The tall body of the Beast Race Ancestor quivered slightly,
A golden glow, layer by layer, resembling metal; the Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield had already formed upon the body of the Beast Race Ancestor!
Soon afterward, the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin took each step forward with a solemn expression.
As a powerhouse of the Thirteenth Layer of Transcendence, having faced numerous crises and life-and-death situations, the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin naturally had more confidence compared to the second disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, Yang Longji!
A moment passed,
The Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, under the watchful eyes of many, reached the spot where Yang Longji had previously exited the trial,
Yet the body of the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin shook slightly, unlike Yang Longji, who had panicked to the point of losing all composure!
This fifth of the trial path,
It was clearly the first position where the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree’s mental trial began—the first obstacle!
Evidently, the Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin had encountered an illusion, one that struck deep into his heart…to the extent that this powerful being, who had a layer upon layer of Qiu Dragon Golden Light Shield activated, lingered in that position for several seconds, growing increasingly anxious.
Nearly half a quarter hour passed before the panic in the eyes of Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin gradually faded, revealing a glimmer of hope!
He gritted his teeth and walked slowly forward….
