At the Mountain of Dao Attainment.
After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Jing Chen finally stopped what he was doing.
It was called a battle, but in reality it was just Jing Chen beating people up unilaterally. The onlookers, who had been stunned at the beginning, had become numb to it all.
Looking at the Stone Statue Qilin that seemed as light as a piece of torn paper in Jing Chen's hands, they all forgot for a moment that it was a divine beast of the Supreme Clan.
"Phew..." Jing Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, finally releasing his grip on the Stone Statue Qilin Stone Statue Qilin's leg and casually tossing it to the ground.
Jing Chen wiped the sweat from his brow, a look of pure enjoyment on his face. It had been a long time since he'd had this much fun; he was even sweating.
However, when her gaze fell upon the lifeless Stone Statue Qilin lying to the side, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Especially looking at the face of the Stone Statue Qilin, it looks like it's only twelve or thirteen years old, much younger than me!
Am I being bullying a child?
Although she was incredibly guilty inside, Jing Chen still maintained her imposing manner. With her hands on her hips, she addressed the Stone Statue Qilin with considerable force. "Do you submit or not?!"
Judging from her words, if the Stone Statue Qilin dared to say "I'm not convinced," Jing Chen would definitely be able to repeat the same tactics he used earlier.
Upon hearing Jing Chen's words, the Stone Statue Qilin instinctively trembled. However, in front of so many cultivators, it was difficult to speak, so it snorted coldly, turned its head away, and pretended not to have heard Jing Chen's question.
Jing Chen, however, refused to let him off the hook. She stepped forward, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Hey, I'm asking you a question! Do you submit or not?"
As he asked this, Jing Chen's hand reached out to grab the Stone Statue Qilin's leg.
After that battle, the Stone Statue Qilin was already traumatized by Jing Chen. Sensing Jing Chen's power, its body trembled even more violently, and it immediately shouted, "I surrender! I surrender!"
Now that things have come to this, the Stone Statue Qilin doesn't care about saving face anymore; it has already lost badly enough.
"I give up, okay? Just stop attacking!" After saying this, the Stone Statue Qilin wished it could bury its head in the earth.
To think that he, a member of the Supreme Qilin Clan, could lose in strength to a mere girl is incredibly humiliating!
Moreover, admitting defeat in front of so many cultivators is quite embarrassing, even for someone as young as him.
But what kind of creature is this monster in front of us?
Her power is like an abyss with no limits, especially just now, when she only used 30% of her power.
He was from the Supreme Qilin Clan that wielded power during the Dao Qi era! How did things turn out like this? Waaaaah...
What's more, he himself possessed royal blood, yet he was utterly defeated by this tiny kid who looked like a human!
Hearing what the Stone Statue Qilin said, Jing Chen stopped pressing the matter, clapped his hands, and prepared to move on to the next step.
At this time, the vast majority of cultivators were still stuck at the first hurdle.
The battle between Jing Chen and the Stone Statue Qilin had just shattered many of the white jade steps, leaving some cultivators with no way to go up.
Some unlucky ones were unfortunately caught in the crossfire and were immediately disqualified from continuing the fight, eliminated from the competition.
However, Jing Chen couldn't care less about that at the moment; the subsequent challenges were even easier for Jing Chen.
Having learned from the example of the Stone Statue Qilin, no cultivator dared to stop Jing Chen anymore, since Jing Chen's power had already been demonstrated.
With only 30% of his power, he could achieve that level of skill. No cultivator wanted to know where Jing Chen's limits truly lay.
So it wasn't long before Jing Chen stood at the final checkpoint.
The arena radiated endless white light, making Jing Chen's face appear as white and jade-like as a delicately carved jade doll. It was impossible for anyone to associate this girl with the violent madman from just moments before.
"How about giving this disciple to me?" Upon seeing this, the Third Elder immediately transmitted his voice to the elders beside him.
The other elders immediately objected, saying, "Third brother, that's not fair of you. Logically speaking, any cultivator who has reached this stage can be chosen by any of us!"
"This girl possesses unparalleled strength and will clearly continue to develop in that area. Among the nine of us, I'm the only one traveling with her, so it's only right that I lead the way," the Second Elder said with a smile.
"Second Elder, you can't say that. With this strength, if this young girl wanted to, her skill in weapon crafting would definitely be outstanding! Moreover, weapon crafting might give her new insights and promote her awakening! If she really becomes a weapon crafting master in the future, it would surely enhance the foundation of our Mountain of Dao Attainment!" The Seventh Elder chimed in, not wanting to be outdone.
"Seventh Brother, do you really think we're fools? What does weapon crafting have to do with strength? Thinking you can gain further insights through weapon crafting? That's a joke!"
"So you mean you want this girl to be with you?"
"Alright, alright, let this young girl choose for herself. It's fortunate that you're arguing here using spiritual power. If outsiders were to interfere, wouldn't they be laughed out of the room?" The elder in blue spoke up at this moment.
The First Elder was clearly quite prestigious among the nine people, and his words finally silenced the others.
Logically speaking, the overall strength of individuals is not that different, but the Elder in green robes had already become Dao-Attained Cultivator when he was young, so his status in the mountain was extraordinary.
However, while the nine elders in the heavens were about to fight to the death for Jing Chen, Jing Chen was still studying the rules of the final level.
"Um... are you sure that as long as I can lift this mountain, I'll have the same qualifications as those two to become Dao-Attained Cultivator?" Jing Chen asked, scratching his head. Judging from the rules, that seemed to be the case!
The Third Elder smiled and nodded upon hearing this. After everything that had just happened, his attitude towards Jing Chen was now exceptionally good.
"It's not just about qualifications; once you complete this step, you will directly become Dao-Attained Cultivator, only lacking a coronation ceremony."
Hearing this, Jing Chen nodded and said calmly, "The coronation ceremony doesn't matter to me; I just don't want to be inferior to them!"
After saying that, Jing Chen actually stepped to the center of the arena.
In the very center of the white jade arena is a miniature version of the Mountain of Dao Attainment.
Although it's smaller in size, its weight is just as good.
