Chapter 1512 - 1509: Making It to the Trial

Chapter 1512: Chapter 1509: Making It to the Trial

After about a dozen seconds, the two descended directly onto a lush green meadow. The sunlight was bright, and flowers were blooming—a beautiful scene full of vitality.

"Chen Tianlong, where have we arrived?"

Wu Mengting glanced around, feeling completely unfamiliar with the surroundings.

Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly. In fact, he didn’t know where this place was either, so he closed his eyes and activated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique to see even further.

At this point, he was amazed to find that he could see incredibly far away, much farther than he could before.

This was due to his increased strength, now at the peak of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars Great Perfection Limit, allowing him to see further, and his perception was much stronger.

Suddenly, Chen Tianlong heard some noisy sounds coming from not far away. His expression changed, and he immediately looked intently, only to see over a hundred people obeying someone’s orders.

Chen Tianlong furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat troubled, because the person was none other than the Kunlun Sect Leader, Master Wuchen. But what surprised him was that next to him stood another familiar face, Kuang Chenggong.

"Why is Kuang Chenggong involved with Master Wuchen?"

Chen Tianlong felt a bit puzzled.

"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong with you?"

Wu Mengting looked at Chen Tianlong, seemingly in a daze, and asked with some confusion.

"Hmm, the trial assembly is about to start. They’re having a meeting now; let’s hurry over. If we’re late and our qualification gets canceled, it’ll be troublesome." Chen Tianlong was very worried.

"Alright, let’s go then."

Wu Mengting nodded understandingly. The two began walking forward, realizing this place was the garden at the back of the Kunlun Sect.

Small square at the back of Kunlun Mountain.

Here, over a hundred people lined up, all from various vassal states, each a Celestial Dao Seven Stars Great Perfection Limit expert. Their sole purpose was to participate in the trial and gain the qualification to enter the Immortal Realm.

Entering the Immortal Realm isn’t completed by finishing the trial; it’s more of an entrance qualification. If you fail to reach Extreme Dao strength by then, you still can’t enter the Immortal Realm.

Similarly, if you don’t obtain this qualification, even if you attain the initial Extreme Dao strength, you can’t enter the Immortal Realm. This is the rule set within the Immortal Realm, testing whether a person is qualified to become immortal—this is the legendary Golden Core Stage.

In this trial, the final stage is forming the Golden Core, but Master Wuchen did not explain this.

Actually, Master Wuchen has a purpose this time. He had gone through several trials before but still failed to find a way to form the Golden Core, always failing at the final moment.

So, this time he gathered so many martial arts comrades to see who had this ability, hoping to borrow their power to help him break through to Extreme Dao and step into the Immortal Realm.

"Everyone, the trial requirements have been basically explained. Please strictly follow the trial requirements; otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless if anything unexpected happens."

Master Wuchen said sternly.

At this time, there was an uproar among the audience, and many began to discuss.

At this moment, Wu Guangzu and Pure Yang Feifei were the most anxious, as it was the last moment, and Chen Tianlong still hadn’t appeared. Feifei was already extremely worried, planning not to continue the trial if Chen Tianlong didn’t show up.

Meanwhile, Wu Guangzu was secretly cursing: that damned Wuchen clearly intends to trap Junior Brother Chen Tianlong, changing the deadline from five days to three days, meaning Chen Tianlong might not make it back in time.

Earlier, Wu Guangzu learned from the master that obtaining the Purification Stone requires at least reaching the end of the protection area in the Otherworld, which takes one to two days on foot. However, Otherworld is far from smooth—it’s almost impossible to move.

The round trip would take three days, and adding potential dangers, it’s impossible to return in less than five to six days.

Moreover, in Master Wuchen’s view, once Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting entered, they were unlikely to return. The dangers inside were something he experienced, feeling overwhelmed before even seeing an opponent, and hurriedly trying to escape. Luckily, he got out in time and, after half a month of recovery, slowly regained his strength.

"Is everyone ready? The trial team is prepared to finish."

Wuchen said this and looked up at the sky; the sun was almost at the zenith, indicating that noon was near, "In a few minutes, if anyone hasn’t arrived, it will be considered an automatic forfeiture of the trial qualification."

However, no sooner had Master Wuchen spoken than a silver light streaked across the sky, and suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting landed in front of everyone.

Everyone was startled—this speed was simply astonishing. Although they were all Celestial Dao Seven Stars Great Perfection or higher level experts, they certainly couldn’t muster such speed themselves.

No wonder, since Chen Tianlong used all his strength to fly sword flight directly to make it in time, creating the situation just now.

Evidently, Master Wuchen and Kuang Chenggong were stunned; they didn’t expect their carefully devised plan to be shattered at the last moment. Both were heartbroken.

"Master Wuchen, we’re back. Huh! What day is it today? Why has the trial started?" Chen Tianlong asked, pretending as if he knew nothing.

At this moment, Wuchen also furrowed his brows; he lacked a reasonable explanation. After all, he had promised Chen Tianlong it would be after five days, suddenly changing his decision, which was not aligned with rationale or reason.

"Haha, congratulations to Chen Tianlong on returning from the Otherworld. It’s just that everyone arrived a few days ago, so not to delay, we moved it forward by two days. Luckily, Chen Tianlong could make it back."

Master Wuchen said this, already feeling guilty, so he couldn’t keep arguing over this matter and changed the topic: "Alright, everyone is here; let’s get ready to depart."

After hearing Wuchen’s words, Chen Tianlong chuckled. Things changed quickly, but Chen Tianlong didn’t want trouble, given the territory was theirs, and all that mattered was arriving in time.

"Junior Brother Chen Tianlong, you really had me worried."

Wu Guangzu felt relieved, seeing Chen Tianlong and Mengting girl return from the Otherworld.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Wu, I told you not to worry too much about me. I can handle it." Chen Tianlong smiled and said.

Wu Guangzu patted his shoulder, happily gave him a hug, then quickly separated to follow the group heading to the trial site.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Chen Tianlong, Sister Mengting, is it really you?"

Chen Tianlong was momentarily taken aback, then quickly reacted. This voice, even in dreams, he heard several times; back when trapped in the mountain cleft and the three-layered dream, without Feifei’s appearance, who knows how he would have turned out.

Suddenly, Chen Tianlong turned around rapidly. Sure enough, he saw Pure Yang Feifei stepping out from a small group and staring at him affectionately.

At this moment, whether Wu Mengting was present or not, she could no longer remain so calm.

Actually, Chen Tianlong was somewhat concerned since Mengting was next to him, and he couldn’t be overly sentimental—just sweetly smiled. But, the next moment, Wu Mengting said, "Chen Tianlong, why don’t you run over and embrace Feifei? Have you forgotten our agreement? She’s right in front of us; do you want her to be heartbroken again?"
