Chapter 569 Thirty-three Immortal Layers
The first test of the Tianjiao List was relatively easy. It only took less than two hours for all the partic.i.p.ants to receive instructions from the Mysterious Realm and enter the second test one after another.
Sitting cross-legged close to the stone tablet, Su Li glanced up at the huge vortex that appeared after the Mysterious Realm instructed. She did not move but concentrated on her internal body.
“Swoosh—”
The sound like the sea tide faintly came from the tendons and vessels. As time pa.s.sed, the sound became louder and louder, and it echoed in the whole s.p.a.ce with the stone tablet!
That was the sound of blood traveling through!
The tide of blood sea!
Black Lotus would have been shocked if his awareness hadn’t been blocked by the Mysterious Realm of Tianjiao Battle. This was the supreme realm in the legend of body refining!
Originally, due to various opportunities, Su Li’s physical body reached the limit of the Human Clan, which could compare to the body of a demon or beast. It was almost impossible to break through in this era. But in this Mysterious Realm, it was easy to break through the shackle.
Boom!
With the last loud noise, a layer of foul-smelling black impurities surfaced on Su Li’s body. After it was removed, a faint fragrance followed.
“Fragrance from spiritual flesh. A flawless body!”
Su Li’s eyes flashed, and she stretched out her bright white hands to look at them. Then she put them back into her sleeves and stood up. At this moment, her body seemed to have completed the last bit of transformation, becoming white and tender, and even her temperament of a pract.i.tioner was washed away.
At this moment, Su Li recovered her original simplicity. If she didn’t reveal her cultivation, no one could see how powerful her weak body was, because she looked like a mortal woman who didn’t know much about the world.
Su Li’s eyes flickered suddenly, as if she thought of something. She waved her hand and then made a water mirror in front of her.
Although Su Li had gotten some conjectures in her heart, she was still stunned to see herself in the mirror.
At this moment, she, in the water mirror, didn’t have the appearance in this life. She clearly restored the beautiful face of her previous life, and only the black lotus mark on the corner of the eye was still there. This mark didn’t not destroy her beauty, but added a bit of mystery and coquettish temperament to her. It was hard to look away from her.
“Sure enough… When the soul and the body are in one, they are highly compatible with each other. I am reincarnated partly thanks to the method used by Black Lotus. There has always been a little gap between my soul and body, and now this gap disappears…”
Su Li touched her face, and her eyes flashed faintly. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, as she thought, All Spirits Tactics started, concealing her true face. Then she stepped into the vortex without hesitation.
After a while—
The gloom in front of her disappeared, and a narrow s.p.a.ce emerged. In the entire void s.p.a.ce, there was nothing else except a black stone in the middle.
“The second test is about cultivation. It seemed that it was the stone for testing cultivation, and it looked a bit different from that of Tianyake Attic.”
In addition to the intelligence industry, Tianyake Attic also included various servicesfor pract.i.tioners. Testing cultivation was also one of the services. Every relatively large branch of Tianyake Attic had the stones for testing cultivation, so Su Li had naturally seen the stones before.
The stones for testing cultivation of Tianyake Attic were only the size of fists, but this one was as tall as a man!
Su Li glanced at it. Then she put her palm on the surface of the black stone and used the force of Yuanying Realm.
Drone!!
The stone immediately released dazzling colorful brilliance that enveloped Su Li. After a while, the brilliance flickered, and it seemed impossible for the stone to verify Su Li’s cultivation.
Su Li frowned. The stone seemed to be aware of her impatience. The flas.h.i.+ng brilliance suddenly stopped, and a line of ancient characters appeared on the stone surface.
“Su Jiuzhou: the perfection phase of Yuanying Realm; Tianjiao List: Beyond 100,000.”
Before she could think about it, the stone in the void disappeared, and it was replaced by two vortexes. Then two words appeared above the vortexes. One was “Zhan” (fight) in blood red, and the other was “Tui” (retreat) in light cyan.
“There is too much untrue information in the second test, so it can’t make a specific ranking. Then in the third test…”
An expression of thinking flashed through Su Li’s eyes. Then she stepped into the blood-red vortex.
At the same time, on the square outside, a large number of low-level pract.i.tioners were spewed out from the vortex. Huo s.h.i.+chun, who had been waiting outside, stared at the vortex nervously. Suddenly, he looked happy and leaped to catch Xuan An who was flying upside down from it!
“Young Lord! You’re fine. I thought…”
Xuan An took a breath. Then he rolled his eyes and said peevishly, “Thought what? Did you think that I entered the third test? I am not a fool to suicide in the third test. Go! Let’s go to the square to find the Fenguang Stone Images. Maybe we were lucky enough to find them.”
“Alright!”
Not long after, the two came to the largest hall on the side of the square. At this moment, the hall was extremely lively and crowded!
The walls of the hall were covered with mirror-like stones, and images flashed in each stone, which were different from each other. The images were indeed what was happening in the Mysterious Realm of Tianjiao Battle.
“Daddy told me this, but I didn’t believe it.”
Xuan An sighed, “Now I am convinced that the Mysterious Realm of Tianjiao Battle may really be the means of cultivating disciples of the sects in the ancient times, otherwise the layout of the hall here would be indecipherable at all.”
Huo s.h.i.+chun nodded and sighed, “The Mighty Pract.i.tioners in the ancient times cannot be compared with today’s pract.i.tioners. All kinds of amazing methods of them cannot be imagined and measured as well.”
There were millions of images in the hall, and it took a full hour for Xuan An and Huo s.h.i.+chun to use their divine awareness to probe.
Suddenly, in one of the images, Su Li’s indifferent face flashed away.
“Found it!”
Xuan An’s eyes were bright.
…
Opening her eyes, Su Li found that she was on the peak of an isolated mountain. The mountain was surrounded by immortal pneuma and white clouds. In the middle of the sea of clouds, there was a ring hanging in the clouds. It shone with rotating mysterious light, as if it was indestructible.
Su Li glanced across the sea of clouds. She was only to realize that in addition to this mountain where she was, there were thousands of mountains evenly distributed throughout the sea of clouds. Most of them were full of people. The rest of them occasionally flashed with light, when a newcomer arrived there.
Su Li was also considered as a newcomer, and it didn’t take long for her to sense that hundreds of divine awareness were shooting at her, but soon all of them were retreated.
“Ha-ha, Yuanying Realm. There is another one who courts death!”
“There are few female pract.i.tioners in the cultivation circle, and I don’t expect she is a rarer female casual pract.i.tioner.”
“If you don’t reach Huashen Realm, you would better never enter the Tianjiao Battle! Those who dared to break the inexorable law all ended up miserably!”
“There was a lot of wastes in Yuanying Realm on this Immortal Layer. If everything goes well, we can all be promoted into the next Immortal Layer with good luck.”
Numerous voices came without any concealment.
Su Li glanced at the direction where the sounds were coming from and then quickly retracted her gaze.
She really couldn’t raise her interest at a group of pract.i.tioners who were in the early stage of Huashen Realm.
“Probably, because of the second test, I was a.s.signed to this Immortal Layer with the lowest cultivation.”
Su Li felt helpless.
After the first two tests, the third test was the real Tianjiao Battle which might cause death!
Although it was cruel, it had left many low-level pract.i.tioners with a silver lining in dividing the Immortal Layers. Because when every pract.i.tioner on an Immortal Layer was promoted, the pract.i.tioners here could all get a chance to choose again.
Retreat, or fight?
Life and death were really decided in a minute!
While thinking about it, Su Li suddenly felt something. She stretched out her right hand, and suddenly a jade slip fell from the air. Then it landed on her palm.
This jade slip was the blank one she had placed in the first test. But it was no longer blank now, and several messages on it were flas.h.i.+ng.
“Su Jiuzhou, the perfection phase of Yuanying Realm; ranking: 645590; Immortal Layer: 33rd.”
The 33rd Immortal Layer. Did it mean the 33rd heaven?
Su Li put away the jade slip, and then immersed in her thought. More than 600,000 people partic.i.p.ated in the battle. There were 20,000 mountains in this Immortal Layer. In other words, the 33rd Immortal Layer was the last Layer. So, everything had been set by the destiny.
Swis.h.!.+
When the last figure of the pract.i.tioner appeared on the top of the mountain here, the ring in the middle of the sea of clouds suddenly began.
According to Jiang Run, the ring would randomly select a pract.i.tioner as the champion. As long as the selected pract.i.tioner could survive ten rounds, he would be promoted into the next Immortal Layer, and his winning evaluation would be improved accordingly, thereby enhancing his ranking on Tianjiao List.
If he lost, naturally everything would stop.
“The champion, Li Suiling. If you don’t come to the ring within ten breaths, you will be deemed to be a waiver and will be expelled from the Immortal Layer.”
The icy voice sounded in the void. The ruddy complexion of a young man in a yellow robe who was sitting on a mountain top suddenly faded, and he was in a cold sweat.
The man was chosen as the first champion, whichmeant that he would be regarded as a mortal enemy of more than 10,000 pract.i.tioners on this Immortal Layer!
He was just in the early stage of Huashen Realm, but there were hundreds of talents in the middle stage of Huashen Realm in this Immortal Layer!
“d.a.m.n it! Why am I so unlucky!”
The young man in a yellow robe was woolgathering, and time pa.s.sed unconsciously.
“Ah!!”
He suddenly widened his eyes and screamed. He was swept out of the Immortal Layer by a strong force, and then he disappeared.
“What a waste. He didn’t even dare to come onto the ring. If I were him…”
A pract.i.tioner on the nearby mountain saw the scene and laughed out loud, but before he finished laughing, his smile froze on his face.
He seemed to hear someone say that if the champion gave up, the next champion would be the one closest to the former’s mountain top.
“The champion, w.a.n.g Fa.”
Seeing w.a.n.g Fa’s desperate face, the crowd around himburst into laughter immediately.
“I’m not a waste!”
w.a.n.g Fa gritted his teeth. Although there was no wind under his feet, he fell on the ring by himself. He looked around piercingly, “I, w.a.n.g Fa, take the challenge!”
The laughter suddenly diminished.
“He has a little bit courage.”
On the top of a mountain, a young pract.i.tioner flicked his sleeves indifferently, and then he flied to the ring from a thousand miles away. He looked at w.a.n.g Fa with a sneer, as if he was looking at a dead.
“But if your courage is not supported by your cultivation, you will be a stupid. w.a.n.g Fa, you are stupider than Li Suiling.”
“The late stage of Huashen Realm?!”
When w.a.n.g Fa saw the young pract.i.tioner, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were filled with fear. He subconsciously used a defensive treasure. Then the young pract.i.tioner waved his hand.
Puff!
A head flew high and vanished with fundamental spirit.
w.a.n.g Fa died!
Accompanied by the thumping sound of the corpse, many pract.i.tioners suddenly returned to their senses, and then they couldn’t help but feel a chill.
What strong cultivation!
What a quick method!
They didn’t even see what method the man used, but then w.a.n.g Fa was killed before he could send out Huashen Realm.
“I know him. He is Shen Nan from Lingchen Sect, a high-grade sect. He uses methods extremely fast. It is impossible to defend him. He has the highest cultivation among his peers, and his strength is only lower than that of the holy boys in holy sects!”
“It seems that he would be the first to be promoted. This man is so strong that he shouldn’t appear on the 33rd Immortal Layer at all.”
