Chapter 53: The Third Trial: A Palace in the Sky!
In the end, Li Ran was unable to convince Xiao Qingge. He helplessly accepted the Spirit Fruit.
"But you have to give me an address, right? How else would I find you?" He asked.
Xiao Qingge smiled and said, "When you reach Wuyang City, you will certainly find me. At that time, I will give you a big surprise."
According to her understanding, Li Ran would go to the Xiao Family to fulfill the engagement.
At that time, the two of them would naturally meet.
"Tch, you’re quite mysterious…"
"Hehe."
—
Two hours later.
The trial was finally over.
Everyone was taken away by an irresistible force and returned to the empty area in front of the Herb Mountain.
Most of them were covered in dust. They were in an extremely sorry state, and some of them were already dead.
Ever since Li Ran had started the robbing chain, no one had gone to collect medicine seriously. Everyone had completely fallen out from each other.
You stole from me, I stole from you, all of them happily fought.
However, there weren\'t many people who had truly harvested immortal materials. At this moment, the atmosphere was murderous, and everyone was vigilant as they fiercely swept their eyes around everyone.
This round of trials made them realize that they had to fight with their lives on the line if they didn’t want to get eliminated.
There was no such thing as a fellow Righteous Path cultivator. Everyone was an enemy.
Yue Jianli had changed into a new set of clothes and wore the same green outfit.
She stood in a corner, not saying a word as she held her sword in her arms. She exuded an unapproachable aura.
Only when her eyes inadvertently met Li Ran\'s eyes would a trace of shame and anger flash in her eyes. But then, it was replaced by an ice-cold killing intent.
At this moment, ripples arose in the space.
【The end of the second trial…】
【Six people advanced, two eliminated.】
Then, beams of white light shot out, enveloping everyone who had advanced. The ones who were eliminated were Xiao Qingge and a disciple of the Zheng Yi Sect.
Their expressions were completely different. The face of Zheng Yi Sect\'s disciple was pale, his expression gloomy, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Xiao Qingge, on the other hand, was in a daze, as if she had picked up something valuable.
"I\'m leaving, you must be careful~" she obediently waved her hand.
Li Ran said helplessly, "You should be worried about yourself."
"I’ll wait for you!"
"…Understood." After bidding farewell to Xiao Qingge, Li Ran formed a hand seal, and a streak of light struck the body of the Zheng Yi Sect disciple.
Pu!
The Zheng Yi Sect disciple coughed up a mouthful of blood. He turned around and looked at Li Ran with confusion.
“Big Brother, what enmity did we have? I’m already eliminated!”
"I\'m sorry," Li Ran said, "But I have to take preventive measures…"
"???" The disciple was sent out of the secret realm with a question mark on his face.
The other six had successfully advanced to the next round.
—
Those who were eliminated would be teleported to the entrance of the secret realm. Xiao Qingge was a mortal and she was as fragile as a flower.
Leaving with another cultivator was very dangerous for her. That was why Li Ran used his technique to seal the opponent\'s cultivation.
Although it wouldn\'t last long, it would provide enough time for Xiao Qingge to escape. He had even covered Xiao Qingge\'s body with runes, and all sorts of techniques were used on her to guarantee that she would be able to walk out the Grand Myriad Mountain Range safely.
"She really places her trust on me. She\'s not afraid that I won\'t give her the Spirit Fruit…" Li Ran smiled and shook his head.
What a silly girl.
—
The white light dissipated.
Everyone was teleported to another place.
In front of them were floating stairs towering upwards. At the end of the steps lies an incomparably luxurious palace.
The palace stood in the clouds, its cornice stood straight, and a golden tile that glazed as brightly, emitting an imposing solemness.
This was a true sky pavilion.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
A palace in the sky?
After all, the existence of this secret realm was more than a thousand years old. What kind of good fortune and might was required to maintain this state?
Yue Jianli\'s eyes narrowed slightly as he gradually became excited. This was the legacy of the Ancient Emperor!
Furthermore, he was an Immortal Emperor whose strength was unparalleled and surpassed the entire world.
Otherwise, there would be no such thing!
Ripples rose in the air:
【The Third Trial: A Palace in the Sky…】
The trial was very simple.
The remaining six people had to climb the cloud stairs in front of them. The first three people to reach the top would successfully advance and enter the final trial.
"So simple?" Everyone\'s hearts jumped.
Those who had come this far were not fools.
The previous two rounds were already in full swing. How could this round be so simple?
There must be something hidden within the rules!
Li Ran came to a realization.
The first trial tested one\'s strength, while the second round tested one\'s eyesight and experience. The goal of this trial was for six people to compete with each other.
The one who was able to take the lead must not be the fastest, but the strongest!
"What about the final trial?"
Li Ran looked at the magnificent palace on the clouds and guessed, "Three people left to fight. Will only one person remain at the end?"
The heavens and earth were merciless, the immortal path was ruthless.
The path to immortality was always paved by corpses.
Only by stepping through the river of blood and mountain of corpses and ascending to the peak of the Nine Heavens could one become an undying emperor.
Li Ran and Yue Jianli looked at each other from a distance.
The battle spirits in both of their eyes were burning!
