Translator: 549690339
A hundred years of struggle yielded no gains.
During an exploration of an ancient secret realm of cultivation, he was betrayed and attacked by his closest friend, dying in shock and regret.
Northern Immortal Realm.
Ever since two thousand years ago, when the Mortal Emperor unified the Qing Celestial Realm, he embarked on a bloody campaign.
Over the years, the heads of five Immortal Emperors and sixteen Immortal Kings have solidified the Mortal Emperor’s notorious reputation.
In the end, only the Northern Immortal Realm survived in its dying breath.
Now, the army is pressing on, vowing to annihilate the Northern Immortal Realm within a year.
In the midst of the army, Qin Tang hesitated to speak, looking at the Mortal Emperor who was cultivating with his eyes closed.
Li Fan opened his eyes and looked at this trusted lieutenant who had followed him from obscurity to prominence, showing a rare smile.
“Qin Tang, it seems like you have something to ask me?”
“To be honest, your majesty, I am indeed puzzled about something.”
“Speak freely.”
“Starting as a mere mortal, your majesty has endured countless hardships to become an Emperor. Your power is overwhelming and all immortals in the Immortal World tremble at the mention of your name. Yet, you always keep marching forward without stopping. What are you pursuing, your majesty?”
“What are your plans after defeating the Celestial Emperor and unifying the Immortal World?” Qin Tang gazed at Li Fan and voiced his doubts.
Li Fan chuckled softly.
‘What I want is nothing more than ‘longevity’, ” he said lightly.
Qin Tang was startled, seeming not to believe his own ears.
“Longevity? With your majesty’s current cultivation, aren’t you already bestowed with longevity? Assuming there are no accidents, you should be able to live for millions of years, isn’t it?” He asked in astonishment, seemingly unable to comprehend.
“Can living for a million years be considered longevity?” Li Fan chuckled and counterquestioned.
“In the Ruins of Huangtian, hundreds of ancient Immortal Emperors have long turned into skeletons.”
“Even the legendary ancient immortals who created the Immortal World and possessed supreme power are now nothing but mountains under my constraints.”
“This time I intend to unify the Immortal World, gather the power of all immortals, and construct a Great Array that covers the entire Immortal World, to break through the so-called everlasting fairy cage.”
“I aspire to step above the immortals, and reach a step further.” Li Fan’s tone was indifferent, but he was so resolute that he wouldn’t allow anyone to argue.
Qin Tang remained speechless.
Because he knew there was nothing beyond the Immortal World.
Therefore, he could only bow his head in silence.
Everything was proceeding according to Li Fan’s plan.
In just a year, Li Fan managed to unify the entire Immortal World.
Subsequently, he used bloody means to suppress all opposition, gathered resources throughout the Immortal World, and successfully constructed the Grand Array to shatter the shackles of the Immortal World.
As the Grand Array activated, the whole Immortal World trembled.
The sky was full of cracks, as if everything in the world was shattering.
Li Fan laughed heartily and charged into the rift.
All he was greeted with was endless darkness.
Here, Heng’s trial had come to an end.
Because Qin Tang knew there was no need to continue testing.
During this examination, an anomaly occurred.
Even if he created infinite realms, he probably wouldn’t be able to erode this person’s relentless determination.
If his teacher was here and saw such a genius, he would probably be very pleased.
Unfortunately…
A trace of regret flickered in Qin Tang’s eyes.
With a long sigh, everyone gradually woke up from the Illusion Dream.
Yet they were still in the original square.
Some were bewildered, while others realized what had happened, and their faces turned white with shock.
Yet some seemed to have an epiphany, pondering over their gains.
Qin Tang looked at the cultivators with various reactions and smiled, “The three-door trial has ended.”
“Some of you have surprised me, while others have been thoroughly disappointing. ”
“The sect master once told me that selecting disciples for the Celestial Palace of
Clouds and Waters is about quality, not quantity.”
Looking at the crowd, he said softly, “So among you, half will stay.” The cultivators, who were initially delighted, had their faces changed greatly upon hearing Qin Tang’s words.
“What do you mean?”
They clearly knew how they had performed in the three-door test.
On hearing that Qin Tang was going to execute half of the cultivators present, they were shocked and angry.
Seeing no way out, they began to attack Qin Tang.
But Qin Tang was not angered.
He only smiled slightly, “Chief of the Dharma Transmission Hall of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, Qin Tang.”
“I gracefully accept your challenge.”
At Qin Tang’s words, a striking blue figure suddenly appeared next to half of the cultivators present.
These figures were exact copies of their targets, identical in appearance, aura, and even strength, and immediately engaged in an endless battle against them.
“The sect master is strict. But my teacher once told me, nothing should be absolute. If you can survive the battle against your mirror image, I won’t trouble you anymore.” Qin Tang slowly said, watching the struggling cultivators.
The other half of the cultivators, who weren’t attacked, including Li Fan, chose to retreat to avoid getting involved in the battle.
Li Fan moved to a safe place and observed the situation on the field.
The blue mirror images were ruthless in their attacks, tireless, and impervious to injury.
Ordinary cultivators were no match for them. Once engaged, they soon found themselves in a disadvantageous position.
Soon, many cultivators tragically died at the hands of their own mirror images.
And as more cultivators continued to die, it won’t be long before the remaining struggling ones would also fall..
