A Trialist's Humiliation

Within the Cultivation World, all the major sects sent their disciples onto the Trial Path.

Gu Yuanqing was cultivating when he suddenly sensed a Spatial Fluctuation. He followed the fluctuation with his mind and saw a man dressed in a dark blue robe with dark patterns and a blue waist pouch suddenly appear in a Valley Fengtian City.

This person, despite his young age, has already reached the Dao Fire Realm cultivation level.

"Trial People Cultivation World trials?" Gu Yuanqing was slightly taken aback, not expecting that under the Heaven-Connecting Stele, passing through the Trial Path would allow entry into this realm.

After thinking for a moment, he used the Heart Seal Technique to relay the information about this person to Li Shi'an.

A moment later, Li Shi'an gracefully left North Spring Mountain, accompanied by Ji Dai.

Ji Dai smiled broadly, full of interest. He recalled that twenty years ago, when the Trial People came, even he and Li Shi'an, working together, dared not face them directly.

But today is different from the past; both he and Li Shi'an have entered the realm of the Divine Platform.

Facing the Trial People again, my State of Mind was completely different!

The Trial People was named Luo Wanjiang, a disciple of the Heart Demon Sect in the Cultivation World.

After entering this realm, he looked around for a while, then strode up the mountain in a few steps.

"The Spiritual Qi within this Floating World is surprisingly considerable. It seems I'm quite lucky! I heard that the place my senior Senior Brother visited last time was depleted of Vital Energy, and they gained very little after staying there for several months."

He smiled slightly, somewhat satisfied. He needed to stay in the Floating World for three days, but those three days were three days in the Cultivation World; in the Floating World, he would have to stay for three hundred days.

If Spiritual Qi is scarce, one must rely entirely on Spirit Stone for cultivation, which is a considerable drain on one's resources.

Suddenly, he froze, for he saw the towering Heaven-Connecting Stele that seemed to reach into the clouds.

"What's this?"

He hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look around and saw the shadow of the city wall of Fengtian City in the distance.

"First, we should find someone to investigate the situation in this realm. Although the Floating World can only accommodate those at the Dao Fire Peak realm, it has Spiritual Qi, so there might be experts here. If that person from the Netherworld Sect loses an arm or his Law Treasure in the Floating World, it would be a real joke."

With this in mind, he used his movement technique to head towards the city.

The further Luo Wanjiang went, the more surprised he became. All he saw along the way were Cultivator. Although most of them were not very powerful, only around the True Martial, he occasionally saw Dao Embryo Cultivator. They were not very old either. Such people would be qualified to join Sect in the Cultivation World.

But this is the Floating World, this ratio is too high, and what's this "Heavenly Ladder" that these people are talking about?

The more Luo Wanjiang heard, the more confused he became.

The Heavenly Ladder —isn't that something that happens after we crossed the Floating World?

He felt something was amiss, so he slowed his pace slightly, focused his True Essence on his ears, and continuously gathered information.

After an incense stick had burned, he arrived outside the Fengtian City.

"So this place is the capital of a country. No wonder there are so many Cultivator here. But, the Divine Platform? Divine Platform Cultivator in this world?"

Luo Wanjiang felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he should be even more careful in this realm. He had heard that most people in the Floating World were quite hostile towards those Trial People, simply because many of their predecessors had acted recklessly in it.

If this world is like this too, and there are such experts, then I'm in big trouble.

With these thoughts in mind, he stepped forward, preparing to enter the city, slowly explore the secrets of this world, and then make further plans.

Suddenly, his Dao Heart warned him, his heart pounded wildly, and when he turned to look, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Two Dao Body landed one after the other in the vicinity. Both of them flew over from the air, one riding Flying Sword and the other riding a Wine Gourd.

"Flying on Divine Platform Cultivator! How could there really be Cultivator of that level in the Floating World? Isn't it said that the space within the Floating World is too weak to support Divine Platform Cultivator? Or perhaps I haven't even entered the Floating World?"

Luo Wanjiang felt his mind was stretched to the limit, and he secretly circulated his True Essence, looking for an opportunity to escape.

However, he felt two Divine Sense locking onto him, and any movement would result in a Thunderclap attack. His mind raced as he considered how to deal with the situation.

"Are you here for Trial People?" Li Shi'an asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wanjiang felt a chill in his heart, and sweat soaked his clothes. He had just arrived in this world and hadn't even figured out its situation yet, but his secrets had already been figured out by others.

Ji Dai took the Wine Gourd in his hand, took a sip of wine, and then said with a grin, "Kid, I'm asking you a question."

Luo Wanjiang forced a smile, "Senior, I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm just an ordinary Cultivator."

Ji Dai's eyes lit up. "Brother Li, this little guy is a bit unruly, how about I teach him a lesson first?"

Luo Wanjiang's expression changed, his Dao Fire erupted, and he somehow grabbed a Bell and shook it forcefully.

The clanging sound made Li Shi'an and Ji Dai feel dizzy, and the Ordinary Person around them collapsed in droves.

Luo Wanjiang turned into a wisp of green smoke and tried to escape.

Ji Dai shook his head and exclaimed, "Good heavens, I almost fell for it! If you had gotten away with this, all my years of cultivation would have been for nothing!"

As the words were spoken, the Wine Gourd flew through the air and crashed into Luo Wanjiang's back.

Luo Wanjiang raised his hand and threw a Great Bell, which collided with the Wine Gourd with a loud clang, actually knocking the Wine Gourd back.

Gu Yuanqing stood in the distance on North Spring Mountain, watching the scene unfold, and muttered to himself, "Interesting. It seems that the Spell Art and Law Treasure of the Cultivation World are superior to those of the Demon Realm. In the Demon Realm, whether they are Cultivator or Demon Race, they are mostly straightforward. Even when using Law Treasure, they rely on brute force to win. In comparison, in battles between people of the same level, Cultivator from the Cultivation World seem to be much more difficult to deal with than humans and demons from the Demon Realm."

Luo Wanjiang ultimately failed to escape. Even with all sorts of treasures and Secret Method, he couldn't overcome the vast difference in their cultivation levels, especially since he was facing two opponents. After exchanging more than ten blows, he was severely injured and captured, taken into the imperial city.

Within the imperial city, there were no shortage of skilled interrogators. In less than half a day, Luo Wanjiang had said everything he needed to say, and Gu Yuanqing withdrew his gaze.

Li Changan returned to North Spring Mountain.

"Young Master Gu, this man's name is Luo Wanjiang, a disciple of the Heavenly Sound Sect. Should we kill him or what should we do with him?"

Gu Yuanqing glanced in the direction of Fengtian City. Luo Wanjiang's cultivation was sealed and he was imprisoned in a dungeon. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This person has not committed any evil deeds in this realm. He was captured as soon as he entered, so he doesn't know much about this realm. Let's spare his life. People from the Outer Realm can only watch from here. I also want to see how he was summoned to the trial."

Li Changan became interested upon hearing this. There had been legends of Trial People since ancient times, but this was the first time he had the opportunity to see them leave. He even left North Spring Mountain and returned to the imperial city.

Three days later, in full view of everyone, the extremely frustrated Luo Wanjiang was drawn away by the power of the Rules and disappeared into thin air.

Gu Yuanqing tried to stop him with the power of North Spring Mountain, but it was to no avail.

Within the Slanting Moon World, Bai Changbi saw a streak of seven-colored light in the Horizon and knew that the path of trials had begun.

"The Trial Path has appeared, Heavenly Ladder has materialized. Taking this opportunity, we can view the Heaven Ladder Rankings without paying such a high price. Bai Gui, find the list we copied down last time."
