Chapter 419: The Test of Life

At last, they descended toward the ground. Hui looked around. The slope on this peak ascended steeply into the sky, and rocks broke through the earth all around them. Compared to before, they stood on a wild, barren peak, with no visible infrastructure or buildings. He raised his hands and squinted into the distance.

Overhead, a chain looped off from the peak, dangling through the sky. They stood closer to where it connected to the peak on this mountain, just below it, and the massive metal structure cast a deep shadow over them. The chains enormous links creaked loudly when the wind blew, a strangely melancholy sound, deep and metallic. Following the chain back, Hui found the previous peak theyd stood on, hovering in the distance. He nodded to himself.

Were on a different peak now. Away from the original trial peak, but not much deeper into the sect. Did each of the cultivators take their group to a different peak? It makes sense, especially for the spirit beasts, where they might have very large creatures that might need special conditions to show their greatest strength. For the rest of us, its best to separate us so we dont interfere accidentally with one anothers trials. Besides, at this realm, its possible that one of us might draw too much qi and disturb the natural flow of qi for everyone else. Better to spread us out and lessen the risk of overdrawing the local qi flow. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

It works out for me, in any case. Since I managed to split the clones into the different groups, none of us have to worry about showing our skills one after another and overlapping too obviously. Naturally, we still must be cautious, but theres at least a small barrier between us!

After a moment, he frowned. Were only a small distance from the original peak. It shouldnt have taken more than the blinking of an eye to fly over. So why did it take long enough that some random Elder Brother had the time to confront me?

Across the field, Qin Donghai sneezed.

Well, I guess I can only wait for guidance from the glowing senior, Hui thought, turning toward the man. Even now, he continued to glow brightly, his aura shimmering on the air.

Watching the man, Huis thoughts wandered. I wonder if he can turn that off? If he got naked, wouldnt he blind the entire world? Ah, ah, how pitiful. I wonder if that senior has ever dual cultivated the old-fashioned way Though I guess I could simply ask someone. If he ever took his clothes off at night, surely the peaks all around him would see the massive beacon he lit with his naked body!

Qin Donghai sneezed again. He rubbed his nose, confused, and looked around. Why am I sneezing? Did someone curse me? I shouldnt be sneezing at this realm

The glowing cultivator cupped his hands to them and descended into the cave. The other cultivators lined up, some eagerly pushing to the front of the line while others hung back, brows furrowed in thought. Hui took Jin Xians hand and led her toward the back of the line, careful not to take the final slot nor a slot too far toward the front.

Jin Xian doesnt want to leave, but I cant see her overcoming this trial. Maybe I should just let her fail?

No, thats not a good idea. She cant talk, let alone present herself well.

Come to think of it, what about Zhubi and Bai Jingwen?

Well, Zhubi is a spirit beast, and if the peak lord is any indication, he wont have as strong an emphasis on presentation as the rest of us. If not theyll probably notice how exotic he is and accept him anyways. Snake demons are rare beasts, after all. To say nothing of the rest of it.

Bai Jingwen

IllIll believe in her!
