Too Wild Swallowing Heaven

Chapter 4791 Trial Grounds

Forty-odd celestial demons pounced on them together, and the remaining people were powerless to resist, being torn apart and devoured.

A dozen or so breaths later!

In the entire underground hall, only Liu Wuxie remained. The Heavenly Demon, covered in blood, had returned to the Hell Temple to continue its lurking.

Following the original path, Liu Wuxie returned to the ground. The elders and disciples of Taihe Gate, Tiandao Society, Ji Family, Youlan Cloud Valley, Ziyu Zhai, and Shenye City that he had left were standing on the ruins, not having gone far.

Liu Wuxie put his mask back on and glanced at the crowd. They all looked at him with awe.

"Thank you for sparing my life, fellow Daoist!"

An elder from Shenye City quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Liu Wuxie.

Other sect elders and disciples all bowed in greeting.

Liu Wuxie nodded, as if to greet them, then formed hand seals, and strange array patterns merged into the great array.

The illusory array, influenced by its runes, emitted a powerful light that shot towards the sky, transforming into a terrifying current of energy that vanished without a trace.

After doing all this, Liu Wuxie quickly rushed out of the Bagua Sect.

Watching Liu Wuxie's disappearing figure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

He used the ancient cat demon magic along the way, and like a bright light, he traveled dozens of miles in a short time.

"Pu Yu, lead everyone to the location I provided and meet up with Pu Li as soon as possible."

Having found a secluded place, Liu Wuxie opened the Great Desolate Sacred Realm and released everyone.

"Yes!"

Pu Yu immediately nodded. They had already broken through to the Extreme Earth Saint level, so there was no point in continuing their training. It would be better to go to the Great City, meet up with Han Feizi, and find a way to weaken the power of the five major forces.

"Husband, where shall we go next?"

Xu Lingxue did not leave, but instead followed Liu Wuxie.

"Find the fruit of immortality as soon as possible!"

Liu Wuxie did not hide anything; if they could not find the Immortal Fruit, Gusu would probably not last long.

"Before I was chased by Sun Bing, I went to an area that was shrouded in mist all year round. I didn't dare to go deep into it because there were a lot of Soul-Binding Night Fiends wandering in it. Through the mist, I could vaguely see that there seemed to be many plants growing there. My intuition told me that there should be some precious medicines there."

After a moment of thought, Xu Lingxue described in detail to her husband the strange place she had encountered earlier.

"Let's go there now!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Wuxie sent his wife back to the Primordial Sacred Realm.

Following his wife's directions, three days later, a vast expanse of misty land appeared ahead, desolate and uninhabited, with few other cultivators encountered along the way.

"Strange, why are there so few cultivators going to this place?"

Liu Wuxie unleashed his divine sense, taking in the entire area within a radius of several hundred miles. Logically speaking, at such a distance, he should have encountered many cultivators.

"I don't know either. When I arrived in this area that day, I sensed something was wrong. I could see signs of many cultivators coming, but I couldn't see any of them."

Xu Lingxue frowned slightly.

Liu Wuxie continued to venture deeper, getting closer and closer to the misty area. His divine sense kept spreading towards the misty place, but strangely, he could not enter it.

Just a few hundred feet away from the misty land, a strange scene appeared. The view in front of Liu Wuxie suddenly changed, as if he had triggered a teleportation array, and his body inexplicably disappeared from the spot.

When his vision returned, he found himself in a large square.

In the center of the square stands an eight-story tower.

At this moment, thousands of people have gathered around the tower, pointing and commenting on it.

"Strange, how come there are so many cultivators here? And how did we get in?"

Looking at the tall tower in the distance and the large number of cultivators, Liu Wuxie stood there, stunned.

They quickly arrived at the foot of the tower and saw that more people were coming in, which immediately attracted hundreds of eyes, all of whom looked at Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie glanced around and spotted several familiar faces.

"Ancestor Ke Rong, what are you doing here?"

Liu Wuxie not only saw Ke Rong, but also Qi Yuan, the peak master of Myth Peak, and the ancestor Qingyi Xian.

Besides them, there were also a few Taihe Sect and Tiandao Society disciples scattered around, and many powerful figures from other sects gathered in the surrounding area.

"Wu Xie, what are you doing here!"

Upon hearing Liu Wuxie's voice, Ancestor Ke Rong asked in shock.

"Did you also get transported here inexplicably, just like me?"

Liu Wuxie asked the two elders in confusion.

Upon hearing that Liu Wuxie had also entered, Qingyi Xian and Qi Yuan quickly moved closer together, forming a small circle to prevent others from launching a sneak attack.

“A month ago, Qingyi Xian and I were training here when we were inexplicably teleported here. We searched everywhere but found that we could not leave from here. Based on our deduction, this place should be some kind of training ground, and the tall tower in front of us is actually the training ground.”

Ancestor Ke Rong recounted in detail what had happened over the past month.

After hearing Ke Rong's description, Liu Wuxie looked incredulous.

"What are the rules of the trial? Can we leave this place after passing the trial?"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Wuxie asked the two elders.

"That's how it should be, but so far, no one has passed the trial!"

At this moment, the fairy in green spoke up.

All the major sects in the Ancient Divine Realm have similar trial grounds; only by passing the trials can one leave.

This place was probably a training ground for some sect back then. Since the cultivators who guarded the training ground have left, it cannot be opened from the outside. If you want to leave the training ground, you can only try to pass the trial test.

"Even with the cultivation levels of the two patriarchs, they are unable to pass the trial?"

Liu Wuxie discovered that Ancestor Ke Rong and Ancestor Qingyi Xian had already broken through to the Extreme Earth Saint realm long ago. If even they couldn't pass the test, wouldn't the ordinary Earth Saint realm cultivators around them have even less chance of passing the trial?

"We tried several times, and each time we could only reach the fifth floor of the tower. According to our deduction, only by reaching the eighth floor of the tower can we complete the trial and leave the passage to open it."

At this moment, the fairy in green spoke up.

Peak Master Qi Yuan broke through to the fifth level of Earth Saint and barely made it to the third level of this tower. As for those ordinary half-saints, they couldn't even pass the first level.

"Don't let outsiders know about my identity for now. Now tell me about the rules of the trials in the tower."

Instead of rushing to the Trial Tower, Liu Wuxie asked them what the trials entailed.

"It's basically a martial arts trial, where you fight against the masters in the tower. When we first went in, there were corresponding rewards for defeating the masters in the tower. But as more and more people came in, there were no more rewards for the first five floors. I guess all the rewards in the tower have been distributed."

Ke Rong described what he had seen and heard in detail.

Based on Ke Rong's description, Liu Wuxie basically understood that this was a martial arts trial tower, mainly used to hone the disciples' combat abilities.

Disciples who pass the assessment will receive a reward.

Because the Trial Tower has lost the protection of the sect, the rewards inside are almost gone. Many cultivators who cleared the early levels received some rewards, but cultivators who entered later, even if they cleared the first five levels, would find it difficult to obtain any rewards.

“Wu Xie, according to our previous predictions, the martial arts assessment on the fifth level is comparable to a high-level extreme earth saint, the sixth level is comparable to a top-level extreme earth saint, the seventh level is comparable to a profound saint, and as for the eighth level, it may even reach the third or fourth level of a profound saint. If we cannot pass the assessment, we may all be trapped here to die.”

"The fairy in green robes said with a solemn expression."

Even if they all break through to the top-level Extreme Earth Saint, passing the Trial Tower would still be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Upon hearing that the eighth level of the trial was comparable to the third or fourth level of the Profound Saint realm, Liu Wuxie frowned. Based on his understanding of the Ancient Divine Realm, since it was a sect's trial tower, it was impossible for the quality to be so low.

In the Desolate Ancient God Realm, even a top-tier Extreme Earth Saint can barely be considered a menial disciple. This Trial Tower could not possibly be for menial disciples to practice on. Nine times out of ten, the formations inside have been severely damaged, reducing their quality. In a true Trial Tower, the eighth level might even reach the Ancestral Saint level.

Liu Wuxie's guess was correct. The quality of this trial tower had indeed declined. No one maintained the formation, and it had fallen into disrepair over the years. Only one-tenth of the formations inside remained, and the martial arts assessments within had been reduced by dozens of levels.

"Hahaha, you old scoundrel Ke Rong, today is your death day."

Just as Liu Wuxie was deep in thought, a sharp shout came from afar, and then dozens of figures quickly approached.

"Get ready for battle!"

Ke Rong immediately summoned all the disciples of Taihe Sect and members of Tiandao Society together.

Liu Wuxie looked toward the source of the sound and saw several old men leading dozens of powerful figures, charging toward them in a mighty procession.

"who are they?"

Liu Wuxie asked in a low voice.

"The old man leading us is named Tang Su. He was also teleported in like us. However, he was lucky enough to obtain a powerful treasure when he reached the fifth level, which helped him break through several levels of cultivation. We had clashed with him several times before, and our strengths were evenly matched. I guess his cultivation level has improved again, which is why he wants to destroy us."

Ke Rong quickly gave a brief introduction to the people who had come to attack.

Liu Wuxie's gaze fell on Tang Su. This person's cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Extreme Dao Earth Saint, making him one of the strongest cultivators among all the cultivators.

Besides him, there were several other powerful experts at the highest level, whose cultivation was comparable to Ke Rong's.

Previously, the two sides were evenly matched. However, with Tang Su breaking through to the sixth level of the Extreme Dao Earth Saint, the strength of the Tang family increased dramatically. They planned to take this opportunity to eliminate Ke Rong and Qingyi Xian to avenge the dead Tang family disciples.

"Wu Xie, we'll try to hold them off. You go ahead and try to clear the level. If you're lucky, you might make it to the eighth level and then you can leave this trial ground."

Ke Rong was unaware of Liu Wuxie's true combat strength, after all, he did not know that it was Liu Wuxie who had resisted the powerful figures of the Fengshen Pavilion that day.

Not long after entering the Jinghong Domain, they were trapped here and unaware of what was happening outside. If they knew that Liu Wuxie had single-handedly killed thousands of powerful individuals, including dozens of top-tier Extreme Dao Earth Saints, I wonder what they would think.
