Chapter 28: There Are No Pies Falling From The Sky For Nothing
https://www.
Inside the Lingering Treasure Mirror.
The middle-aged woman brought Lin Yan to a separate area.
And from the beginning to the end, her gaze never left Lin Yan.
As for Xiao Yanran, who was held in Lin Yan's arms, she didn't even spare her more than a glance.
It was obvious that she showed up before Lin Yan because she was interested in him, but not Xiao Yanran.
Watching this scene, Xiao Yanran was dumbstruck.
...
"This is where the Star God Sect's trial is held."
The middle-aged woman then pointed her hand to an altar before her.
This altar was four square broad and was about tens of feet high, just like a small hill.
At the front of the altar, there were steps.
Following these steps, one could ascend to the top of the altar.
The middle-aged woman walked to the bottom of these steps and said, "As long as you can follow these steps and walk to the top of the altar, you will pass the trial... But let me remind you, though these steps look ordinary, it is quite tough to climb up. There were seven people who came here to take the test before, and all of them failed in the end."
"Senior doesn’t need to say this. I’m aware that clearing the trial isn’t that easy.”
Though Lin Yan's tone was bland, his eyes that looked at the altar before him were filled with burning heat.
After all, this altar was the only way for him and his sister to live.
No matter what, he must definitely climb it.
...
In front of the lingering treasure mirror.
Xiao Yanran's pale face was now filled with shame.
‘There would be no empty pie in the sky.’
It was indeed the truth.
Her brother had realized it a couple of ten thousand years ago, but she had been foolish enough to think that she easily joined the Ancient sect without paying any price.
"There are no pies falling from the sky for nothing, but there can be fruitful encounters."
Lin Feng laughed lightly from the side.
He obviously disagreed very much with what Lin Yan said, after all, he had a lot of fruitful encounters along the way.
Until now, he felt that having those fruitful encounters every day should be the norm.
Holding Xiao Yanran, he took a big step towards the altar before him.
Just as he stepped onto the first step of the altar, a powerful force suddenly appeared, pressing him so hard that he couldn’t even move.
It was impossible to even move further.
Even Xiao Yanran who was unconscious seemed to have been affected, and her eyebrows were slightly knitted together.
Under this terrible pressure, Lin Yan stepped forward and crossed the first step little by little.
Though it was a total distance of more than ten feet to reach the top of the altar, this distance was like a cliff in the sky, making it extremely difficult to even take a step forward.
What's more.
At this moment, Lin Yan was still holding Xiao Yanran in his arms.
As Xiao Yanran was not yet ten years old, her body was small and didn’t have much weight.
But now, she had turned into a mountain.
A really heavy mountain.
It was like Lin Yan was holding a mountain and climbing the altar.
Puff! Puff!
With two slight sounds, the wounds on Lin Yan's body were actually pressed by this pressure and burst open.
The blood trailed down from it and spread along with the place he walked, ...all the way towards the top of the altar.
This path of trial had turned into a blood road.
...
The Linglong Treasure Mirror.
The crowd all stared at the video before them with rapt attention.
In their eyes, it is as if there was no longer viewed him as a heavenly emperor, but instead, as a young man who was fighting to save his sister.
Seeing the atmosphere turned a little heavy, someone said with a smile, "You guys, it considered that the Heavenly Emperor moved a stone to beat his own feet this time. Even though he worked hard to pass the trial, I can’t wait to see when the artifact spirit discovered Miss Yanran is more suitable to become the descendant of the Star God Sect. I can't wait to see what expression he was going to make. ”
Xiao Mei raised her brows and said, “He deserves it. ”
With them speaking one after another, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Many people had smiles at the corners of their mouths, waiting to see Lin Yan's efforts in the mirror go vain, and see the embarrassment of when he was unable to join the Star God Sect.
Contrary to the crowd, Xiao Yanran was sad.
But at this moment, there was also a faint expectation inside her heart.
"Unfortunately I was unconscious when my Supreme Bone was activated and I still don't know how my Supreme Bone was activated at the time.”
