As the Universe Turns - Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Trial
“You … you!”

Ye Shisan turned around and looked at the figure with his back facing him. At this moment, it was as if he had fallen into an endless abyss of despair.

Xiao Chen slowly turned around. His face was expressionless and his hands were still behind his back. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose and rolled up the fallen leaves all over the ground. His sleeves automatically moved without wind. The fallen leaves all over the ground began to rotate around him in an instant.

At this moment, everyone felt an invisible shock, making it difficult for them to breathe. It was as if a faint dragon roar could be heard in their ears.

At this moment, Ye Shisan also seemed to feel a faint sense of unease. The azure immortal sword in his hand was also trembling.

The disciples in the distant plaza also held their breaths. This person … was he finally going to make a move?

Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. He held the Heaven’s Path Token in his right hand and still placed it behind his back. He slowly extended his left hand and gently pinched a leaf with his two fingers.

It was at this moment that he waved his hand and the fallen leaf flew out. Immediately, the dragon roar shook the heavens. The small fallen leaf actually gathered the fallen leaves around several hundred feet into a dragon shadow and ferociously rushed towards Ye Shisan.

Ye Shisan’s eyes were wide open, wanting to retreat, but at this moment, it was as if it was enveloped by a strong wind, and his entire body was unable to move again!

“Shit!”

A red-clothed old man behind him thought that something was wrong. He flew up in an instant, his left hand protecting Ye Shisan, and his right hand fiercely circulating profound arts to block the dragon shadow.

With a “rumble”, that dragon shadow struck, as if the heavens and earth were trembling. Even though the red-clothed old man’s cultivation was high, he was forced to take more than ten steps back before he could stand still.

After a long while, the dragon’s roar rolled away like thunder. The clouds in the horizon surged endlessly, and the aftermath forced one’s mind. The fallen leaves slowly drifted down. Everyone fell into silence and looked at the mysterious young man in front of them in disbelief.

Xiao Chen slowly put his hands behind his back and didn’t look at Ye Shisan any longer. He turned around and slowly headed towards Celestial Pogoda.

At this moment, no one spoke. What was that cultivation technique just now? To be able to gather the fallen leaves on the ground into a terrifying dragon shadow, which sect, which clan’s cultivation technique was this? This young man’s background is too mysterious …

“Wait.”

Suddenly, the cold voice of Old man Qingyi sounded from behind. Xiao Chen stopped and tilted his head back slightly. “What else?” He said indifferently.

Old man Qingyi did not get angry and said coldly, “I want to give my little friend a word … Although one person is strong, it is difficult to shake the forest.”

Everyone held their breath and Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “I also send Senior a message. Although a corner is small, it is not a family name. The four seas are vast, and it contains everything in the world.” Without turning back, he walked towards Celestial Pogoda Square.

As soon as he said those words, the surroundings felt a deep shock. A good one said, “Although a corner is small, it is not a family name.” A good one said, “The four seas are vast, containing all things in the world.” This person will definitely become a great weapon in the future!

“Good, good …”

Old man Qingyi’s eyes grew colder and colder. He was constantly guessing the origin of this person. Anyone who could say this would have a huge gap in his chest. He was definitely not a nobody! He took a deep breath. At this moment, he knew that Ye Shisan was far inferior to this person.

In the distance, Ye Shisan’s eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly took out his flying sword and transformed into a beam of light that pierced through the sky. He no longer had the face to stay here. He wanted to go back to seclusion to cultivate a higher level of cultivation technique. Even if he went crazy, he still wanted to avenge it. He must be ashamed of himself today!

Old man Qingyi looked in the direction of his departure and sighed softly in his heart. He looked at the two trial elders in Celestial Pogoda and cupped his fists slightly. “I’ve been disturbing you for a long time. Goodbye.” After saying that, he turned around and led the Ye Clan’s dozen or so people outside.

Xiao Chen came to the two trial elders and cupped his hands slightly. He handed over the Heaven’s Path Token in his hand. The two elders nodded slightly. Their gazes were not as calm as before. They thought in their hearts that this person was probably Celestial Pogoda’s most outstanding disciple in recent years.

After handing over the Extreme Heaven Token, Xiao Chen did not stay any longer. He walked into the trial square. Everyone looked at him without saying a word. On the tall building in the distance, the cold red-clothed woman was still standing in front of the railing. She watched him enter the square. She raised her eyebrows slightly, flicked her sleeves, and went back up the mountain.

There were still three more trials left. He had to pass three trials before he could officially enter Celestial Pogoda. Xiao Chen went to a deserted place alone. Now that he had come to Celestial Pogoda, he would not deliberately conceal his original strength.

If he was deliberately concealing his strength, perhaps others would think that he was a soft persimmon and would pinch it if they wanted. In this way, there would only be endless troubles in the future.

As he had just done, he had intimidated everyone. After entering Celestial Pogoda, at least no one would dare to provoke him easily. At the very least, none of the old disciples present dared to provoke him.

When dusk fell, seventy-two Heaven’s Path Tokens were withdrawn by the two trial elders, indicating that three people had not yet arrived.

However, this was not a problem. Perhaps the three of them were delayed because of something. All they needed to do was send a letter within three months, and then report back within three years. At that time, they could enter the trial alone.

The two Trial Peak Elders walked in front of the 69 rookies with serious expressions. The red-clothed elder on the left said, “The next trial will be very difficult. There will be danger to your life at any moment. If you are not ready, you can withdraw now.”

Amongst the sixty plus rookies, there were both men and women, but without exception, everyone’s eyes were filled with determination. It was not easy for them to obtain the Heaven’s End Token, so how could they say that they would give up just like that? Even Blade Mountain Flame Sea had to make a breakthrough. For the sake of future achievements, no one would give up.

Seeing that no one was speaking, the red-clothed elder nodded slightly and looked at Elder Zi Yi. Elder Zi Yi remained silent. With a roll of his sleeve, a purple light shrouded everyone and brought them out of the trial square.

When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, there was no one around him. He arrived at a secluded valley. The surrounding rocks were rugged, strange trees were standing, and there was a dangerous aura everywhere. In the twilight, the entire forest looked even more ghostly and creepy.

At this moment, a powerful old man’s voice suddenly came from the sky, “This is your first trial. Return to the trial peak before dawn. If you fail to return to the trial peak by tomorrow morning, the trial will fail.”

Hearing the sound from the sky, the rookies from all over the place were all on guard. This was the valley behind the Trial Peak. Not only were there terrifying illusionary beasts inside, there were also countless array traps. Even the entire Trial Peak had a layer of formidable restrictions. If they wanted to directly use their swords, they would probably suffer the Nine Heavens Lightning Calamity and be annihilated.

Therefore, no one dared to be careless, but it was destined that no one would be able to go up before dawn. The valley behind the mountain was filled with dangers. Unless there was a real danger to their lives, the elders would not take action. However, if the elders took action to save them, it would also mean that the trial had failed.

The voice in the sky gradually disappeared, and the surroundings slowly returned to a deathly silence. The night grew heavier and heavier, gradually engulfing the last glimmer of light in the sky.

As Xiao Chen walked through this empty mountain forest, he couldn’t help but recall the time when he first entered Xuan Qing many years ago.

At this moment, a crescent moon hung on the horizon, as if to say that this cold night was lonely.
