Chapter 937 Third Trial: Test of Will! (2)

With the fourth step he took on the earthen stairway, Shun Long could feel the entire mountain tremble once more, before a thick mist began to spread out from its peak, quickly enveloping the rest of the mountain. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Shun Long couldn't tell if the nebulous mist was poisonous or not since his 'Monarch's Eternal body' could already resist the majority of poisons out there, but one thing was for certain. It could still suppress his soul sense to a large extent, not allowing him to expand it more than a couple of meters outwards!

And yet, despite having his soul sense and vision both suppressed, Shun Long looked largely unaffected as he took another step forward and continued to ascend the earthen stairway.

With the fifth step, the mountain seemed to have suddenly come alive, as gigantic pieces of rock began to hurl down its peak. A large landslide that could level a small town roared down the mountainside, aiming to crush the bold azure-robed youth attempting to climb it!

Still, Shun Long didn't choose to use his 'Dao of Space' or his 'Dao of Time' as he faced the landslide. Instead, a large black sword appeared in his hands, before flashing more than a dozen times in a single second, painting a breathtaking scene.

Strands upon strands of radiant white sword qi materialized around the black sword's edge, before moving towards the incoming landslide!

The large pieces of rock hurling down the mountain were all cut in half the moment they touched the powerful sword qi, before losing their momentum and disappearing further into the island, completely missing their target in the process.

The token appeared as ordinary as it could be; with the words 'Imperial Mandate' carved on its front and the words 'outer court' on the back. However, after fiddling with it for a few moments, Shun Long uninterestedly placed it inside the 'Stone of Time' before he turned his gaze towards the small orange fruit. Finally, his eyes lit up before a bright smile made its way to his lips.

As he looked at the peculiar fruit with spiral-like patterns on its skin, Shun Long couldn't help but take a deep breath, before his voice echoed throughout the deserted peak

''So the reward for this trial is an 'Immortal Meridian fruit'? Is this Imperial Mandate sect crazy, or are they just this daring?''

Inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black stared at the small fruit in his master's hands with curiosity in his bright blue eyes, before the black dragon eventually asked

''Master, what's so special about this fruit? Isn't it just a rank 8 spiritual herb? Although rank 8 herbs are indeed rare in this mortal world, it isn't that surprising that an immortal sect would put one as a reward!''

However, Shun Long simply shook his head and stared at the fruit in his hands for a few moments before he answered calmly

''There is a reason this fruit is named the 'Immortal Meridian fruit'. Although it's just a rank 8 spiritual herb, even among other rank 8 herbs, it's a rather special entity. Forget about Dao Kings, anyone between the Nascent Soul stage and the Sovereign realm can consume it and it will have the same effects! After all, it can essentially improve a person's potential, allowing them to reach the Earth Immortal realm with near certainty in their lifetime. However, despite its benefit, this fruit also carries one major drawback!''
