As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1083
Chapter 1083 Trial
At this moment, everyone nervously looked at the top of the Heavenly Polarity Rankings. Xiao Chen had only used three days to reach the 72nd floor, but could he go to the 81st floor next?
Although the crowd didn’t know what was on the 81st floor, if they wanted to deal with True Monarch Xuanxiao this time, they needed him to successfully ascend to the 81st floor.
In the distance, Four Daoists also came to Green Peak again. Looking at Celestial Pogoda, the four of them were deeply frown.
The next nine floors would probably not be easy to climb. In the past three days, the movements in the entire Eastern Region had become more and more intense. True Monarch Xuanxiao sacrificed countless primordial souls to refine the Blood Soul Banner, and then devoured the Blood Soul Banner’s blood souls. If they were to become one with the Blood Demon, it would be hard to imagine what would happen next.
Now, he could only hope that before True Monarch Xuanxiao and the Blood Demon completely merged into one, he could ascend to the 81st floor of Celestial Pogoda and obtain what Senior Yiye Qing had left at the top of the tower more than 600 years ago.
…
At this moment, in the Profound Realm on the 72nd floor of Celestial Pogoda, one could only see a fog in front of him, and a restrictive aura emanating from everywhere.
Xiao Chen carefully walked within. He didn’t dare to be careless. He had just ascended to the Profound Realm, and in almost an instant, he could feel the restrictions on this level. They were far from being comparable to those on the Heavenly Word Realm below.
He even faintly felt that even his cultivation had been suppressed when he arrived at the Profound Realm on this level.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he had gone to the East Continent, he had been trapped in the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon Forbidden Domain in Tomb of Gods and Demons. In that place, he had spent an A’s worth of time to pass.
Although there weren’t many changes in the time outside, his armor in the Heart Demon Forbidden Land was real. It wasn’t as simple as waking up in a dream.
At this moment, he was on the 72nd floor of Celestial Pogoda. For some reason, he had a feeling of deja vu. The Profound Realm within the Heavenly Pagoda was probably also isolated from the rest of the world and filled with dangers everywhere. Its danger level was no less than the Heart Demon Forbidden Land at that time. Everything had to be careful.
After an unknown amount of time, the thick fog in front of him gradually dispersed. The heavy restrictive aura made Xiao Chen feel more and more suffocated.
The surroundings were quiet, and only his own footsteps echoed slowly. Any extra sound would immediately alert him.
In such a quiet environment, many people would be extremely nervous and even have some strange hallucinations. Moreover, this was the 72nd floor of Celestial Pogoda, and there were many dangers inside. It was unknown what they would encounter in the next moment.
Just as he was nervous, an old man’s voice suddenly sounded in front of him, “Little friend, being able to reach the 72nd floor is enough to show that Little friend is not an ordinary person, but the following journey will not be as easy as before. You will face life-threatening dangers at any moment. Little friend … but you are ready.”
Hearing this voice, Xiao Chen was not surprised. This was the seventy-second floor, the watershed of the entire eighty-first floor of Celestial Pogoda. There must be some extraordinary existences here.
The thick fog in front of them slowly dispersed. Not far away, four figures appeared. All four of them were white-haired old men, and their auras were extraordinary.
However, upon careful consideration, the four old men in front of him were not real people. They should be the spiritual will left behind by Elder Celestial Pogoda, who had a high cultivation level, many years ago. In addition to the special and restrictive restrictions on this level, these four spiritual will seemed to be real people at this moment. They possessed a living aura.
“It seems that the four seniors have been waiting for I am for a long time. I wonder … what advice do you have?” Xiao Chen stared at the four people and said slowly.
One of them, Old man Qingyi, walked out, However, seeing that there were a few flying swords floating behind him, he stroked his white beard and said, “The next nine floors are the Illusory Heavens Realm. Once you step into them, your life and death will be at stake. In the past three hundred years, no one has entered them and you have come out unscathed. It is evident that the dangers are unfathomable. If you turn around now, little friend, there is still time.”
Xiao Chen said, “If I am wants to turn around, he will not see the illusions left behind by the four seniors here. Xiao is not talented. Please give me your advice, seniors.”
Although the four of them were illusions, they were very lifelike. Old man Qingyi said, “Alright, little friend, you insist on moving forward. The four of us will not dissuade you, but you have to … pass the test of the four of us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding space trembled, “Whoosh whoosh whoosh!” It was a few sharp flying swords that attacked. The flying swords came at a rapid pace. In addition to the heavy restrictions around them, Xiao Chen’s cultivation was restrained. At this moment, he did not dare to take it lightly. Ling Xian Step unfurled his feet and dodged the attacks of several flying swords.
However, before he could stand firmly, two more earth walls pressed down from the left and right. It was an earth spell cast by a Old man Qingyi behind Old man Zi Yi.
Xiao Chen tapped his feet and was about to fly out from above. However, just as he jumped up, a blazing aura suddenly came from above his head. It turned into a sea of fire instantly. It was a fire-type spell cast by a red-clothed old man.
“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”
The flying sword attacked again. In a hurry, Xiao Chen could only forcefully raise his True Qi to block the attacks of a few flying swords. At this moment, the ground had already become a mountain of sabers and could no longer fall down.
Old man Qingyi’s flying sword was too strong. His cultivation was restricted here and he was unable to forcefully resist. He had no choice but to teleport backwards and land more than twenty zhang away.
After he left, the sea of flames and the Saber Mountain on the ground gradually disappeared. The first time he passed, he failed in just a short period of time.
“Little friend, if you are ready, you can try again. However, if you fail three times, you will be punished by this layer of lightning.”
Old man Qingyi waved his sleeve and recalled the flying swords. He looked at Xiao Chen not far away and stroked his beard.
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked up into the sky. Thunderclouds covered the sky. Lightning could be seen faintly inside, emitting an extremely heavy restrictive aura. It was unlikely that it was idle.
At this moment, he still had two chances left. He was too careless the other time. He didn’t expect that these four people were just illusions, but they were also so powerful. He had to think of a way to deal with these four people.
Time passed. At this moment, some people had already left. However, Hua Weiyang, Ling Luan, and the others had been under Celestial Pogoda for three whole days. It was unknown what kind of difficulties he would face next.
The sky gradually lit up, and Ling Luan was slowly feeling a little sleepy. She stayed under the tower all night and stared at the top of the Heavenly Polarity Rankings for an entire night, but there was no change in Xiao Chen’s name.
Many people were already tired. At this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly came from high up in the sky. Everyone was suddenly shocked. In the next moment, they were completely sleepy. They all looked up into the sky and saw thunder and lightning constantly appearing on the seventy-two floors. The scene was extremely terrifying.
“Liao Wuchen … shit!”
Ling Luan’s expression also changed. Her sleepiness just now flew into the clouds, and she stared motionlessly at the thunder and lightning in the sky.
Although she had never been to such a high level before, she knew that once she failed three times at the 72nd floor, she would have to endure an extremely terrifying lightning penalty. Liao Wuchen must have triggered the restrictive lightning penalty after failing three times …
“Idiot …”
There was also a flash of shock on Hua Weiyang’s face. Even if she was below, she seemed to be able to feel the horror of the restrictive lightning punishment … It was definitely not something an ordinary person could endure!
“He failed …”
On the distant Green Peak, Four Daoists’s face gradually turned a little pale. They should have known how powerful the illusions left behind by the four seniors on the seventy-second floor were. He still couldn’t go up in the end …
At this moment, the four people’s hearts gradually sank. It wasn’t because Xiao Chen had failed to pass the trial. Rather, if he failed the four phantom tests, then he would be considered to have reached the Illusory Heaven Realm. In the end, he would definitely die …
Even if he managed to barely pass the four phantom tests, he would still not be able to go up. If he managed to barely pass, it meant that his strength was still insufficient. Since it was not enough, wouldn’t it be courting death to go up there? Even the four of them wouldn’t dare to touch the Heavenly Illusion Realm so easily …
“Sigh …”
Chief Daoist Taiwu let out a long sigh and looked at Celestial Pogoda, who remained motionless. He was the first to ask Xiao Chen to go to the eighty-first floor that night after a few people had discussed it.
Originally, he only had a little hope. Now, it seemed that Xiao Chen’s cultivation was unmatched among his peers, but … it was still not enough.
Daoist Gudeng also looked at Celestial Pogoda and remained silent. Of the four, he understood Xiao Chen the best. For some reason, even though he saw that the other party had failed, he still believed that this young man … would definitely not disappoint anyone, just like bringing Power of Azure Dragon back 20 years ago.
…
At this moment, in Celestial Pogoda’s seventy-second level of the Profound Realm, Xiao Chen had endured a round of restrictive lightning punishment. Many parts of his body had been burned, and his meridians were more like inches of broken. Even his internal organs seemed to have been burned to ashes. This kind of pain was really hard to describe.
However, at this moment, he forcefully endured the pain. He flicked his sleeves and looked at the four people in front of him. He coldly said, “Is this what you call ‘Thunderbolt’? In my opinion, hmph … it’s simply not painful, it’s just like a child’s play.”
…
However, it wasn’t that Gu Yi didn’t intentionally update it, but many times, For example, During the day, I have to deal with some things at home. I have to finish it and then come back to write. It’s usually already night. If I’m too tired to write it, then I can’t update it at 8 AM the next morning. At this time, I usually set my alarm clock to around 3 AM to continue writing. This way, I can ensure that it will be updated at 8 AM the next morning.
However, before each new chapter was released, Gu Yi would read through it again. If he found something unreasonable, he would need to revise it, or even delete and rewrite the entire article. This would create a situation similar to today’s, and he would have to wait until very late in the afternoon to publish it.
Therefore, I hope that my friends who are reading can understand more. Although Gu Yi has not exploded frequently in the past few years, at least it won’t be three days or two without updating. The longest time he took leave was last September. He took three days off. Normally, even during the Spring Festival, Gu Yi would update his books …
Saying so much today is not to express anything else, but to hope that some benevolent brothers can understand more. If the update is late today, it is not what you think: this XX author purposely delayed the change.
Rather, Gu Yi needs to be responsible for the words he writes, and for the readers who paid for them. It is impossible for him to just randomly gather some messy stuff and publish it, and then make a lot of mistakes, causing others to criticize him.
Sorry to disturb my friend who is reading normally!
