The Exam Was Insane! Riding Immortal Slaying Sword Intent into a Volcano?!
The voice of Daoist Duobao was infused with all the magical power of his newly ascended Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
The sound, amplified by the energy of the Kunlun Mountains, roared so loudly that it shook the earth and traveled for miles.
"Kunlun Mountain Immortal Academy, school starts today!"
This declaration, brimming with contemporary relevance yet overwhelmingly domineering, struck like an invisible hammer into the hearts of millions of lives at the foot of the mountain.
A sea of people—no, a sea of monsters and demons.
After a long, deathly silence, this enormous, seemingly endless procession erupted into a frenzy!
"School's started! School's finally starting!"
"I waited ten years! To get this position, I fought the Black Bear Spirit from the next mountain for nine whole years!"
"Charge! Seize the initiative!"
Countless creatures could no longer contain themselves and rushed towards the White Marble steps like madmen.
But as soon as they moved, an invisible, gentle yet irresistible force pressed them firmly to the spot, rendering them unable to move.
Daoist Duobao stood at the top of the steps, looking down at the dark, teeming Ocean of Living Beings below, and cleared his throat.
He continued in that tone he had practiced for ten years, loudly announcing, "All of you, quiet down, you senior brother!"
"Trying to enter my Kunlun Mountain? Not so easy!"
"Next, my Three Grandmasters, along with the Empress Nuwa and the Great God Fuxi, will personally set five trials for you!"
"Only those who pass all the tests and ultimately gain our... cough cough, our junior brother's approval are qualified to become disciples of Kunlun Mountain!"
When Duobao mentioned the words "Junior Brother," his eyes lit up and his cheeks flushed an unnatural red, a manifestation of extreme fervor and worship.
These words caused another uproar below.
Five trials!
It was personally overseen by the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Fuxi!
This spectacle is even more exaggerated than when the Old Ancestor Hongjun preached in the Zixiao Palace back then!
More importantly, in the end, it actually required the approval of that legendary "junior brother"?
In an instant, the eyes of all living beings changed, and their breath became scalding hot.
They understood.
This was not a simple apprenticeship.
This is an unparalleled opportunity that allows one to ascend to the heavens in one step and directly access the most core secrets of the Kunlun Mountain!
Among the crowd, a few figures stood out conspicuously.
An Old Daoist, dressed in a tattered, earthy-yellow robe, looked disheveled and emaciated from hunger. He was staring intently at the mountaintop, his Adam's apple bobbing, and a glistening liquid slowly sliding down his lips.
"Food and lodging included... food and lodging included..."
The Qiankun Ancestor and Earth kept repeating these four words.
He was determined that whatever the challenge, he had to be the first to charge forward!
As long as he can get into Kunlun Mountain, he'd be willing to do anything, even become a kitchen helper, let alone a disciple!
Not far from him, a Daoist priest in a green robe, whose face was blurred and whose surrounding space was slightly distorted, curled up the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting, to actually link a test for a Quasi-Saint to accept a disciple to a little guy's hobby."
The Yang Mei the Great Immortal chuckled inwardly.
"It seems those three lads from the Three Pure Ones have been quite provoked by Hongjun."
He came not to become a disciple, but only to observe up close the variable that could trigger the Jade Plate of Creation.
Just as all living beings eagerly awaited, each with their own thoughts...
"Boom--"
A deafening roar erupted from the Kunlun Mountain Peak!
A domineering and unparalleled sword aura soared into the sky, transforming in mid-air into a giant cyan sword phantom that stretched across the heavens and earth.
Immediately afterwards, the Tongtian Jiaozhu's hearty and cheerful laughter echoed in all directions.
"Hahaha! My disciple wants a playmate, so my first test is to choose the boldest and most playful one in the entire Primordial World for him!"
"Listen up, all of you who wish to become my disciples!"
"The first level is called -- Sword Qi Rollercoaster!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Amidst the horrified gazes of billions of living beings.
A railway, stretching for thousands of miles and entirely forged from various Innate Spiritual Treasure and divine metals, roared out from above Biyou Palace!
The track shimmered with dazzling seven-colored light, winding its way along the southern foothills of the Kunlun Mountain, its beginning and end nowhere to be seen.
The Tongtian Jiaozhu actually used his Quasi-Saint power to melt all the treasures he had obtained from the three thousand powerful beings, along with the Chaos Star Core Iron that Duobao had picked up while sweeping the floor, and forcibly refined this monster!
Above the track, countless fine cyan sword energies moved freely, emitting a sharp "sizzling" sound, cutting dark cracks into the surrounding space.
At the very bottom of the track, there's a massive active volcano!
The volcano was forcibly pulled from the bottom of the East Sea by the Tongtian Jiaozhu. Inside the crater, crimson dragon-flame magma was churning and roaring!
"The rules are simple!"
The figure of the Tongtian Jiaozhu appeared at the starting point of the roller coaster.
He pointed to the cool and stylish front of the car, which was entirely formed from the Immortal Slaying Sword Sect, and loudly announced:
"Get on it and run a full lap from start to finish!"
"You are not allowed to use any magical protection throughout the entire process!"
"Don't close your eyes!"
"No screaming!"
"As long as you can walk down with a smile on your face, you've passed!"
After the Tongtian Jiaozhu finished speaking, he slightly raised his chin and swept his divine sense towards the mountaintop.
He firmly believed that his exciting and challenging first challenge would definitely get his beloved apprentice's blood pumping!
At the foot of the mountain.
Those billions of living beings stared blankly at the "roller coaster" that exuded an aura of world destruction, their minds completely blank.
Is this... a test?
This is clearly suicide!
You're not allowed to use your magic to protect yourself? Imagine running a lap on this thing? Those billions of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi would probably shred your very soul to dust!
And that volcano!
The roller coaster ends with a plunge into Dragonfire Lava for a bath? That's the East Sea Dragon Flame, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas!
"He's gone mad! This Tongtian- powerful being has gone mad!"
A Bear Demon at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal was so frightened that its face turned deathly pale, and its huge body collapsed to the ground, trembling like a sieve.
"Who dares to go up there! Going up there would mean Divine Soul death!"
"Is this a test of courage? It's a test of who has the tougher life!"
All living beings were stunned by this test that could be described as "suicidal".
For a moment, no one dared to step forward.
At the Kunlun Mountain Peak.
Lin Shen was being held in Nuwa's arms, sitting in front of Fuxi's "Destiny Live Broadcast Room".
The giant water mirror clearly shows everything at the foot of the mountain.
Wow! A roller coaster!
Lin Shen saw the cool track, his eyes lit up instantly, shining with a dazzling light.
"Third Master is so amazing! This looks so fun!" He clapped his hands excitedly, his face flushed.
Upon hearing his disciple's childish praise through his divine sense, the Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately straightened his back, almost floating on air.
See? I still understand my apprentice best!
The Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly from the side, saying in a flat tone, "These are nothing but crude brute force games, devoid of any Daoist essence."
Although he said that, he was already rapidly calculating in his mind whether he should add some of this kind of stimulating element to his "labyrinth of wisdom".
Just as the people below the mountain hesitated to move forward, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.
A disheveled figure, as if he hadn't eaten for eight hundred years, suddenly squeezed out from the crowd.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
The Qiankun Ancestor raised his hand high and charged forward with excitement on his face.
His eyes were fixed on the volcano, his pupils glowing green.
That's the East Sea Dragon Flame!
The finest true fire in the world!
It would be delicious to use for Roasted Sweet Potato!
For that bite of food!
No, it's for that supreme Dao!
He's giving it his all today!
