As the Universe Turns - Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Ling Yun Went Straight Up

At this moment, many people in the valley were discussing in low voices. In all these years, they had never seen anyone ascend to the twenty-seventh level. Even if they ascended to the twenty-seventh level, they still had to pass the final trial before they could be considered complete.

Hua Weiyang stood beside Xiao Chen, her eyebrows knitted together. She believed that with Xiao Chen’s strength, she would definitely be able to reach the 27th level of the Heavenly Summit.

However, the final stage of the trial required him to withstand the simultaneous attacks of the four elders of Cloudsoaring Valley and pick a “trumpet flower” from the ceiling. Only in this way could he be considered to have passed.

As everyone knew, the four elders of Cloudsoaring Valley were Elder Azure Dragon, Elder White Tiger, Elder Zhu Que, and Elder Black Tortoise. For thousands of years, these four elders were only responsible for the 27th level of the Cloudsoaring Trial and did not obey the orders of the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Sect Master.

It was already very difficult to defend against the attacks of the four elders’ sword qi, let alone plucking the trumpet flower?

Apart from worrying about this, Hua Weiyang also had the second condition that Chu Tianqing had mentioned yesterday, which made her slightly uneasy. She did not know what the second condition was. If it was like last time in Su Wen Palace, wouldn’t it be useless to do anything else now?

In the distance, Ling Luan stood beside her mother, clenching her fingers tightly. Although she believed that Wu Chen was an extraordinary person, just like the one who fought for the power of the Azure Dragon in the Extreme Heaven Pagoda and the Azure Dragon Mountain Range last time, she could always create miracles in the end.

But at this moment, she was still a little worried. The 27th Ling Yun Trial was definitely not an ordinary one, and she had not seen anyone ascend to the top of the sky so far. Moreover, in the final trial, he had to resist the attacks of the Four Elders’ sword qi. Was Wu Chen really able to do it?

Mrs. Jiang saw her thoughts and gently pulled her hand, shaking her head.

“Little friend Wu Chen, if you are ready, please enter the sword field.”

Right at this moment, Chu Tianqing’s voice suddenly came from a distant mountain. Xiao Chen looked at Hua Weiyang beside him, indicating that she should not worry. Then, he kicked her feet and flew into the trial sword field.

When they arrived at the sword field, the surroundings suddenly surged with strong winds. Xiao Chen did not hesitate much. He did not like the people from the Heavenly Spirit Sect who had to slowly prepare for the Soaring Cloud Trials in the past. He only saw his feet forcefully kick the ground and rush straight towards the first level of Soaring Cloud Island.

“He …”

The people from the Heavenly Spirit Sect in the distance couldn’t help but feel a little surprised when they saw him rush in like this from the start. Could it be that this person really underestimated the 27th Ling Yun Trial?

When Xiao Chen arrived at the first level of Lingyun Island, the sword array on the island immediately activated. Suddenly, seven or eight strands of sword qi slashed towards him from all directions. Xiao Chen stood firmly and instantly condensed a long sword. With a few sharp clanging sounds, he blocked all the sword qi.

However, the sword formations on the island were usually strong when they were strong. Unless they could be broken at once, the further they went, the harder it would be.

Xiao Chen had naturally understood the rules of the Ling Yun Trial before coming here. Seeing that the sword formation on the island was about to condense again, he didn’t hesitate. He kicked his feet and plunged into the air, striking Ling Yun Island with his palm.

However, when he saw that palm force forming a golden palm print in mid-air, it whistled down. With a loud “rumble”, the dust on the island instantly flew everywhere. It was he who forcefully used his palm force to break through the island’s sword formation.

“This …”

Many people in the distance were stunned. Before they could react, Xiao Chen had already borrowed the recoil of his palm strike to fly towards the second level of Soaring Cloud Island.

At this moment, the crowd began to discuss loudly. Was he in a hurry to achieve something, or did he simply ignore the 27th Ling Yun Trial?

In the past, who wouldn’t win steadily and carefully climb up to the top? Who would have attacked so quickly and fiercely like him from the start?

Everyone knew that once they entered Lingyun Island, they would not be able to come down again. If they landed, they would be considered a failure. Therefore, from the day before yesterday when the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect ascended Lingyun, they had always sought victory steadily. They would definitely not have expended so much effort in the beginning. Otherwise, it would only become more and more strenuous in the future. As for him, all the elders had never seen him like this before.

Above the sword field, Xiao Chen landed on the second level of Cloudsoaring Island in a flash. Such a swift attack left everyone speechless.

However, many elders in the distance shook their heads. They did not think highly of him. They thought to themselves that he had attacked like this from the beginning. He had consumed too much True Essence, but he did not recover in time. When he reached the ninth level or above, he would know that he regretted it.

The second stage of the trial on Lingyun Island was the “Wind” Formation. The strong winds on the island were raging, as if they had turned into sharp sword blades. Once they entered the formation, they would surely suffer heavy injuries if they were careless.

As before, Xiao Chen forcefully broke through the formation with his palm and flew towards the third level of Soaring Cloud Island without stopping. Everyone was dumbfounded.

Two hours passed like this. By noon, he had actually reached the ninth level of Soaring Cloud Island. This time, many people’s faces revealed shock. In just two hours, he had reached the ninth level. They had never seen such a powerful person.

More importantly, from beginning to end, Xiao Chen had been soaring up into the clouds. His expression was cold and indifferent, and he did not show any signs of exhaustion. Or, like the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect who had ascended to the clouds in the past, he would reveal a satisfied smile every time he ascended the floor. Then, he would wipe the sweat off his forehead and prove to others that he worked very hard and deserved the approval of the elders.

As for Xiao Chen, he only had one goal, and that was to ascend to the heavens!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Suddenly, countless strands of sword qi appeared on the ninth level of Lingyun Island. A formidable sword formation had slowly activated. Even the crowd below could feel the formidability of this sword formation.

The streaks of sword light suddenly soared into the sky, and surging sword intent instantly enveloped Xiao Chen.

As everyone knew, the Ling Yun Trial had a total of 27 levels. If it was also divided into three levels like Celestial Pogoda, then the lower nine levels would be the “humanoid level”, the middle nine levels would be the “earth level”, and the top nine levels would be the “heavenly level”.

Now that Xiao Chen had arrived at the ninth level, he was bound to undergo the most powerful trial. In a sense, this ninth level trial was even more difficult than the tenth level. If he was slightly careless, his life would be in danger. This was also the reason why many disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect were unable to reach the tenth level.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

On the floating island, the sword energy became denser and denser. It constantly circled around Xiao Chen like an ancient vicious beast. With a pair of bloody eyes, it stared covetously at the person who came to challenge him, and then swallowed him up.
