Bai Qiuran Could Always Do What Others Could Not
At the deepest part of the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode trial, at the end of the White Jade Corridor, atop a magnificent hall modeled after the Heavenly Palace, Black-Robed Figure sat reclining on a large dragon throne in the center of the hall, watching Bai Qiuran's every move through a light screen.
Inside the light screen, Bai Qiuran was advancing with unstoppable momentum. All the enemies he encountered along the way, whether they were Giant without substance formed by Plague Clouds or terrifying monsters that had already entered death and stepped out of the Ghost Realm, were no match for him and were crushed by him with overwhelming force.
The stronger he appeared, the more eager the Black-Robed Figure became in his gaze.
"I really want that perfect body."
He murmured unconsciously, "If I could enter this body and become one with it, let alone rebuild the Holy Dynasty, I could even launch a counterattack against the Savage Lands, reclaim lost territory, or even contend for supremacy in the Immortal Realm!"
The Skull beside him mocked, "I never imagined that the last descendant of the royal family of the last unified Holy Dynasty of Human Race would have Homosexuality. If your ancestors in heaven knew, wouldn't they be so angry at your unworthy offspring that they would turn into zombies?"
At this moment, the Black-Robed Figure's attention was entirely focused on observing the strength of Bai Qiuran's body. His strength, his speed, his reaction ability, and the toughness of his body all fascinated the Black-Robed Figure, and he even ignored the Skull's mockery.
Once he made up his mind to break through, Bai Qiuran, having turned off his "slacking off" mode, was naturally incredibly fast. In just a few minutes, he fought his way from the entrance of the Five Blazing Aggregates Trial to the very end.
Seeing this, the Black-Robed Figure quickly covered the Stone Stele at the end of the checkpoint with his prepared speech.
At this moment, Bai Qiuran, who was standing outside the hall, also saw the words that appeared on the Stone Stele.
[Congratulations! You have passed the Eight Sufferings Trial. Your temperament and aptitude are sufficient to ascend to the path of immortality. Open the doors of the main hall and receive the inheritance of the Wisdom Immortal!]
Bai Qiuran paused, and then the Black-Robed Figure saw him slowly walk to the entrance of the main hall.
The two were now separated by a palace door. If Bai Qiuran pushed open the door and came to his side, the Black-Robed Figure could take advantage of the situation and Body Seizure Bai Qiuran's body in one fell swoop.
He believed that with his own spirit and will that had allowed him to live for tens of thousands of years, Bai Qiuran, who had only lived for a few thousand years, would definitely not be his match.
Drive on, hurry up and drive!
The Black-Robed Figure craned his neck, watching Bai Qiuran's every move through the light screen.
But after standing there for two seconds, Bai Qiuran suddenly lowered his head. He untied the Storage Bag at his waist and poured out all the Upper-Grade Spirit Stone he had obtained from this trial, counting them one by one.
The Black-Robed Figure felt his anger rising, but he suppressed it and patiently waited for Bai Qiuran finish counting.
Bai Qiuran moved very slowly, like a child who had just learned mathematics. After he finished counting the Spirit Stone one by one and put them all back into his Storage Bag, the Black-Robed Figure finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could finish catching his breath, he saw Bai Qiuran at the door shake her Storage Bag, then turn around and walk back without a second thought.
"Ah???"
The Black-Robed Figure stared blankly at Bai Qiuran's receding figure, unable to react for a long time.
After finally coming to his senses, he slammed his fist on the armrest in anger and began to curse, "Are you Lunatic?! The final boss is sitting right here! You finally managed to kill all the monsters in front of you, and now what are you going back for? Come and kill me! Come and face me! The treasure of the Wisdom Immortal is right here in this hall!"
No matter how much he shouted and cursed, Bai Qiuran no longer hear him, because his figure had already disappeared into the sea of clouds and returned to the cliff he had been on before.
Standing on the cliff, he paused for a moment, then turned and rushed back into the mist, passing through the Heavenly Gate of Trials, and going up along the White Jade Corridor. Finally, in the same place, he encountered the monster again.
Although this monster wasn't the winged giant serpent, Bai Qiuran found that the same number of Upper-Grade Spirit Stone still fell out after she casually killed it.
"Really."
He held the Upper-Grade Spirit Stone in his palm, staring intently at the light emanating from it, and smiled. "The monsters here will respawn, and the Spirit Stone will drop again, so what we need to do next is clear!"
He looked towards the White Jade Corridor and firmly uttered five words: "I'll fucking blast it!"
About five days later, Li Jinyao stood out from the disciples of various sects and became the first after Bai Qiuran to cross the seven trials and arrive at the final cliff.
As soon as she emerged from the fog, she keenly detected a unique scent.
"Strange, someone is actually forging weapons here?"
As Li Jinyao spoke, she looked ahead and saw Bai Qiuran sitting on a nearly vertical cliff, refining a weapon with Fire Seal.
"Sword Ancestor?"
Li Jinyao asked in surprise, "What are you doing here? Has it been so long that even you haven't been able to overcome that final trial?"
"Ah, it's Miss Li."
Bai Qiuran turned to look at Li Jinyao, seemingly in a very good mood. He replied, "No, I just made two more because my Storage Bag was almost full of loot."
"Spoils of war?"
Li Jinyao blinked, stepped onto the back of the knife, and gracefully descended in front of Bai Qiuran. Then, with her hands behind her back and leaning forward, she asked, "What exactly happened?"
Bai Qiuran recounted in detail what happened during the Five Blazing Aggregates Trial, and then Li Jinyao immediately asked without hesitation, "Sword Ancestor, can you take me with you?"
"Looks like you understand why I've been guarding this place."
Bai Qiuran smiled and nodded, asking, "Are you doing any Surveying and Mapping or mapping?"
"I have done it."
Li Jinyao nodded.
"But I brought a lot of pills and talismans this time, so I didn't bring my Surveying and Mapping tools."
"Don't worry, Ruowei in our family definitely carries these things with her."
Bai Qiuran stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you in first. I'll handle the battle; you find the Formation nodes."
"Hey!"
As the two entered the mist one after the other, Li Jinyao lightly jumped and grabbed Bai Qiuran's hand from behind. Considering the possibility of spatial teleportation, Bai Qiuran did not let go and pulled Li Jinyao into the mist.
As the world before them inverted, revealing the Heavenly Gate, Bai Qiuran released Li Jinyao's soft hand and said, "Let's go."
"Oh."
Li Jinyao was slightly disappointed, but she still followed behind Bai Qiuran.
As the two advanced, they soon encountered their first monster: a giant worm, formed from countless corpses bound together, flew out of Vortex in the clouds and spewed a thick cloud of deathly miasma at them.
Intelligent people can cooperate without many words. Bai Qiuran gathered her True Qi and raised her hand to defend, while Li Jinyao began to concentrate on searching for the nodes of the Formation.
"There!"
Her intelligence was undeniable. Soon, Li Jinyao discovered the node of the Formation in the clouds. She raised her hand and unleashed a blade of energy, parting the sea of clouds. In the sky behind the sea of clouds, a complex Formation Diagram immediately appeared.
