Beginning the Trials
Despite being stared at like this by everyone, Chen Changqing remained calm.
I already realized that this Trial Tower wouldn't be easy to conquer.
The black-robed elder from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, whose cultivation had reached the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence level, had only managed to reach the ninth level.
The Gatekeeper of this ninth level is Spirit Transformation cultivator.
"Does this mean one must successfully pass through all ten levels of the Trial Tower to obtain the inheritance?"
Chen Changqing pondered to himself.
Just then, Xue Kai of the Divine Fire Sect suddenly rolled his eyes at Chen Changqing and urged him:
"Hey kid, what are you standing there for?"
"You're the only one left to enter the Trial Tower and start clearing the levels, hurry up!"
"Don't waste all our time."
Xue Kai looked impatient.
Previously, he had only reached the seventh level of the Trial Tower before being defeated by Gatekeeper with the cultivation level of the Purple Mansion.
This made Xue Kai very unhappy.
After all, he was at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage, and to be defeated by the Purple Mansion was a huge loss of face for him.
Of course, what Xue Kai was most unwilling to accept was...
He only made it to the seventh level, a result that was far from enough to make him stand out and compete for the Heavenly Monarch's inheritance.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing's brows furrowed instantly, and he glanced at Xue Kai without warning, a chill flashing from his eyes.
Upon catching Chen Changqing's gaze, Xue Kai involuntarily shuddered, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of fear towards Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing withdrew his gaze and, without lingering, walked straight toward the Treasure Pagoda not far away.
Upon seeing this, everyone present tensed up.
The black-robed elder from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, in particular, caught his breath.
It should be noted that he had the best results among those who had already attempted the Trial Tower. Although he only managed to hold on for a short while on the ninth floor, he successfully passed the eighth floor.
If Chen Changqing's performance in the trials is not as good as his, then he is very likely to be able to obtain the inheritance.
Of course, if the requirement for this Third Trial is to pass all ten levels of the Trial Tower, and Chen Changqing fails to pass all ten levels, then they will be completely wiped out.
That's why the old man in black robes paid special attention to Chen Changqing.
Not far away, the Humanoid Puppet saw Chen Changqing walking towards the Trial Tower, and a strange light flashed in its eyes.
Among the ten who made it to the Third Trial.
His favorite was Chen Changqing.
After all, Chen Changqing's performance in the Second Trial of weapon forging was too outstanding.
It even made him think at one point that its owner had a successor.
"I wonder if this little guy can get through the Trial Tower?"
Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Changqing stepped into the Trial Tower.
As soon as he entered the first floor, a figure appeared not far in front of him.
This person was a child, holding a long sword, with crystal-clear eyes, and his cultivation level was at the Qi Nourishing Realm.
"Defeat me and you'll pass the level!"
The boy glanced at Chen Changqing and said indifferently.
Before Chen Changqing could reply, the boy had already drawn his sword and attacked Chen Changqing.
"Call out!"
The sword was drawn, and it actually unleashed a pure and unadulterated Sword Intent.
"Oh?"
Chen Changqing noticed this, was slightly surprised, and thought to himself:
"Although he is only at the Qi Nourishing Realm, his sword strikes contain a refined and pure Sword Intent."
Even Foundation Establishment Cultivator could be defeated if they are not careful.
In the brief moment that Chen Changqing was lost in thought, the boy had already swung his sword and attacked him.
The sword was thrust out silently.
As the cold glint of light swept towards him, Chen Changqing's expression remained unchanged.
The next moment, he pointed his fingers like a sword and flicked them lightly in front of him.
"Bang!"
With a sonic boom, the longsword in the boy's hand shattered into pieces, and the pure Sword Intent that enveloped it vanished instantly.
Then, the boy's figure disappeared.
Just as the boy's figure disappeared, a staircase appeared out of thin air not far away.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing didn't hesitate and strode away.
Before long, he arrived at the second floor of the Trial Tower.
The person guarding this floor was a burly man.
The burly man's muscles were bulging, Qi and Blood were like a furnace, indicating that Body Refining Realm.
"Defeat me and you'll pass the level!"
Upon seeing Chen Changqing arrive, the burly man spoke coldly.
"Boom!"
Without hesitation, he launched a powerful punch at Chen Changqing.
The punch unleashes a powerful and fierce gust of wind, capable of shattering metal and stone.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding.
In the blink of an eye, the burly man's fist had already struck Chen Changqing.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud of a punch rang out.
Chen Changqing stood still, as immovable as a mountain, his internal Qi and Blood surging, and a counterforce suddenly erupted!
The shockwave sent the burly man flying backward, his body disintegrating before he even hit the ground.
Then, the staircase leading to the third floor appeared.
Chen Changqing walked calmly and unhurriedly toward the third floor of the Trial Tower.
Soon, he arrived at the third floor.
The person guarding this pass was a middle-aged Cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Qi Refining level.
Upon seeing Chen Changqing appear, the middle-aged Cultivator immediately activated his Technique Method without saying a word.
"Boom!"
Then, a fireball shot out into the air, sweeping towards Chen Changqing with overwhelming force.
"Oh?"
"Can one use Technique Method at the Qi Refining Realm?"
Chen Changqing saw this and was secretly startled.
But in an instant, he returned to normal, standing still without making a move.
"Boom..."
Before long, the fireball struck Chen Changqing squarely.
Strangely, the raging flames did not cause Chen Changqing any damage; they were simply dispersed.
"This little bit of Technique Method can't hurt me."
Chen Changqing said calmly.
His Primordial Nine-Turn Body Refining Technique had long Great Accomplishment.
Its physical strength is comparable to that of High-grade Spirit Treasure.
This level of Technique Method was nothing to Chen Changqing.
The middle-aged Cultivator remained expressionless in response to what Chen Changqing said.
Next, he changed several Technique Method.
There are ice spikes, there are wind blades...
Without exception, none of them caused Chen Changqing the slightest harm.
After the middle-aged Cultivator had finished his work, Chen Changqing yawned and said casually:
"Forget it, let's go to a higher level and meet the stronger Gatekeepers."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Changqing vanished from the spot in a flash.
When they looked again, the person had already appeared in front of the middle-aged Cultivator like a ghost, and casually brought down a hand chop.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged Cultivator's figure disintegrated under Chen Changqing's hand chop.
Next, Chen Changqing entered the fourth floor of the Trial Tower.
The one guarding this place is a man at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The man produced a small shield, combining offense and defense, demonstrating the skillful use of Law Artifact.
Chen Changqing didn't waste any time. With a flick of his finger, a thin sword bypassed the small shield and struck the Gatekeeper's forehead, allowing him to pass through.
