As the Universe Turns - Chapter 226
Chapter 226 Twenty-seven Lingyun Trials
As Xiao Chen said the word “good”, no one spoke outside the hall. Everyone’s gaze was focused on him. At this moment, they all thought in their hearts that this person had underestimated the 27th Ling Yun Trial. When he reached the 9th Layer, he would retreat.
Ling Luan was also stunned. He looked at him blankly, “Liao Wuchen …”
“Mm …”
Chu Tianqing nodded slightly. At this moment, there seemed to be a trace of praise in his eyes. As the saying went, “The edge of a precious sword is tempered, and the fragrance of a plum blossom comes from the bitter cold.” He knew that this young man in front of him was not something ordinary people could compare to. However, if he did not experience many tribulations, how could he forge a resolute heart?
“Wait …”
Just as the entire hall was quiet, Hua Weiyang suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Chu Tianqing. “Will the Sect Master give Huaye Evergreen Seeds after Liao Wuchen passes the 27th Lingyun Trial?” He asked.
As soon as she said those words, many people inside and outside the hall frowned slightly, their faces showing some displeasure. At this moment, they all thought, how could the 27th Lingyun Trial be so easy to pass? Aren’t you two underestimating our Heavenly Spirit Sect?
Chu Tianqing looked at her and said, “Only after passing the 27th Lingyun Trial will I be qualified to obtain the seed of Evergreen Flower Leaves.”
Hua Weiyang’s mind was so keen that he naturally recognized the meaning behind his words. He asked, “The Sect Master’s meaning is to pass the 27th Lingyun Trial. It’s just one of the conditions. There will be other conditions in the future?”
As soon as she said this, many people were stunned again. They looked at Chu Tianqing. None of them had thought of this level. From the looks of the Sect Master, it seemed that it was really like this.
“That’s right.”
Chu Tianqing nodded slightly. He thought that this woman’s mind was very meticulous. He said, “Passing the 27th Lingyun Trial is just one of the conditions. There will be another condition.”
Hearing this, many people outside began to whisper. Could it be that even the 27th Lingyun Trial was not enough? Even if they passed the trial, there would still be another condition? This is too harsh …
This time, Ling Luan finally couldn’t help but stand up and say, “Grandpa, what do you want from Liao Wuchen …”
This time, Chu Tianqing finally looked at her, and his expression became slightly harsh. “Ling’er, do you think that the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves can be given to others at will?”
“This …”
Ling Luan was left speechless by his words. How could the seed of the evergreen leaves be given to others casually …
Hua Weiyang asked, “Then may I ask the Sect Master to explain the second condition?”
Chu Tianqing said, “The second condition will only be known after little friend Wu Chen passes the 27th Lingyun Trial. Now, it doesn’t make sense.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to say anything, Hua Weiyang couldn’t continue asking. However, for some reason, she had a bad premonition. It wouldn’t be easy for her to successfully obtain the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed this time. However, Yichen had to rely on the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed to save her life, so she had to obtain it no matter what.
Chu Tianqing looked at Xiao Chen and said, “If Little Friend Wu Chen is ready, you can go to the Lingyun Sword Field in the back mountain tomorrow morning. As for the rules of the 27th Lingyun Trial, someone will inform you later.”
…
After the banquet ended, Xiao Chen returned to the courtyard. As he was going to participate in the 27th Lingyun Trial tomorrow, Ling Luan could no longer visit him. As for Hua Weiyang, he was also arranged to go to another courtyard far away from him.
A crescent moon hung in the sky at night. It was as cold as frost. Ling Luan was still obsessed with what had happened during the day. He leaned against his mother and muttered, “Grandpa is so annoying. He doesn’t want to give Liao Wuchen the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves. He wants Liao Wuchen to participate in the 27th Lingyun Trial and he has to pass it within three days. How is that possible?”
Mrs. Jiang shook her head and smiled softly, “So you’ve been unhappy about this all day?”
“Then what else?”
Ling Luan raised his head and pouted at her. He was unhappy. What should he do now? Liao Wuchen was still injured. How could he pass the Lingyun Trial within three days?
Mrs. Jiang shook her head and smiled. She stroked her hair on her forehead and whispered, “Your grandfather has his reasons for doing this.”
“What’s the point …”
Ling Luan still pouted and said unhappily, “Grandpa usually loves me so much. As long as I speak, he won’t disagree. Previously, Grandmother gave me the Fallen Dust Glass Pearl. Why … can’t I do it this time? I have to go find Grandmother!”
“Ling’er, stop messing around.”
Mrs. Jiang gently glanced at her, and her expression slowly softened. She stroked her hair beside her ear and said, “Ling’er, why don’t you think about it? The seed of evergreen flowers and leaves means a lot to us in Heavenly Spirit Sect. No matter what happens to Liao Wuchen, he is still an outsider.”
“Hmph, I knew it.”
Ling Luan snorted softly, “That’s why Grandpa didn’t want to give him the seed of Evergreen Flowers and Leaves. However, he saved my life after all. Could it be that my life isn’t as important as a seed?”
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Mrs. Jiang smiled softly, “You still don’t understand. If your grandfather gave him the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves, would the elders accept it? Will the Heavenly Spirit Sect accept it from top to bottom? Will Chu Yue’er and Chu Yi Ying accept it?”
Hearing her mother’s words, Ling Luan seemed to finally understand something. Thinking back to when she went out today and saw Chu Yue’er and Chu Yi Ying standing outside, their gazes … seemed to be a little strange.
‘”So now, do you understand?” Jiang shi smiled and said, “Your grandfather’s actions are reasonable. As long as Liao Wuchen passes the Lingyun Trial, then your grandfather will give him the Evergreen Blossom Leaf Seed. No one else has any reason to object.”
“So that’s the case? Then I blamed Grandpa wrongly …”
Ling Luan muttered to herself. Mrs. Jiang smiled softly, “Sleep well. Tomorrow, mother will accompany you to the back mountain to see how he passes the trial. If you believe in Liao Wuchen, you shouldn’t have any resentment towards your grandfather’s decision.”
“Mm …”
Ling Luan nodded. She believed in Liao Wuchen, just like when he had reached the 36th floor in the Heavenly Pagoda at the last moment. Just like back in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, he rushed over at the last moment and obtained the power of the Azure Dragon.
…
The next morning, many people arrived at the back mountain, Cloudsoaring Valley, wanting to see how this young man would reach the top.
The gigantic sword stood there. Above the valley, there were floating islands. Twenty-seven of them were floating above the clouds. Each of them was the first level of the Ling Yun Trial. It was filled with restriction formations. The island at the top had almost sunk into the clouds, giving it an imposing aura that was tens of thousands of kilometers above the clouds.
Ascending to the top was almost as difficult as ascending to the heavens. In the past few hundred years, among the younger generations of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, no one had ever ascended to the top alone, even if they were the most outstanding among the younger generations of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
