Checking in for 100,000 Years
Chapter 150: Heavenly Chosen One, Ascend to Immortality Path
CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150: HEAVENLY CHOSEN ONE, ASCEND TO IMMORTALITY PATH
Nine towering pillars of blood, grand and vast, pierced straight into the sky.
In the depths of the cloud layer, they supported a vast expanse of land.
Upon this land, a majestic mountain range stood at the edge of the horizon.
Below the mountain range, a winding mountain path, extremely rugged, snaked its way.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Ten rays of crimson light descended from the sky.
The crimson light quickly vanished, transforming into ten figures that stood at the foot of the mountain.
These ten figures consisted of men and women, some imposing and others alluring.
These Cultivators were all at the Divine Bridge Realm.
The lowest was at the Fourth Level of the Divine Bridge Realm, while most of the others were at the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm.
In total, there were three women and seven men.
"What kind of place is this?"
After the ten individuals discerned their surroundings, expressions of bewilderment appeared on their faces.
They looked at each other and discovered a huge, blood-red halo above each of their heads.
Within these halos, the count of Blood Demons each had slain exceeded one hundred thousand.
The more Blood Demons one had slain, the larger the blood-red halo above their head, and the denser the blood-light it emitted; the visual effect was increasingly astonishing.
"Why are all of them over one hundred thousand?"
A proud-looking young man squinted, observing the blood-red halos above the others’ heads. A hint of ruthlessness surfaced in his hawk-like, sinister eyes.
Among the ten people present, every count was over one hundred thousand.
The highest one had already reached one hundred and thirty thousand.
Even the lowest was one hundred thousand.
A young man in a white robe, with a handsome face and his hands clasped behind his back, looked at the crowd with indifference and said, "You don’t have to compete with me. My number is the highest! The right to inherit the Blood Linglong Fairy Hall is mine!"
"Not necessarily."
The sinister youth sneered, squinting as he retorted, "Since all ten of us were teleported here, it means we’re all back on the same starting line!"
"That’s right! Each of us is qualified!"
The other young men and women snorted coldly, chiming in their agreement.
Su Wanyi remained silent, quietly observing her surroundings, appearing exceptionally composed and observant.
"If you’re not convinced, why don’t we have a contest right now? Among the ten of us, only the last one alive will be the final victor. How about it?!"
The youth in the white robe drew his Sword, his body radiating a powerful aura.
The others retreated two steps, drew their Swords to face him, showing no fear whatsoever.
Instantly, the atmosphere among the nine became as taut as a drawn bow, like a powder keg about to explode.
Facing the impending bloody battle, Su Wanyi also drew her Sword, standing her ground vigilantly.
These people were all monstrously talented experts with Blood Demon kill counts over one hundred thousand. Each had likely killed countless people to amass such a high number.
Not only was each of them at a higher cultivation base than her, but their combat strength was also absurdly greater.
I’m probably not a match for these people.
After all, she was only at the Fourth Level of the Divine Bridge Realm, while these people were all at the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm.
The youth in the white robe glanced arrogantly at Su Wanyi and remarked with an air of indifference, "That little girl has the lowest cultivation base; best to leave her be for now!"
In the eyes of this Disciple of Heaven’s Pride from a Sky-Level Sect, an obscure female Cultivator at the Fourth Level of the Divine Bridge Realm was pathetically weak, unable to withstand a single blow.
The other eight clearly thought the same.
Because, whoever attacked the gold-robed young woman at the Fourth Level of the Divine Bridge Realm first would likely face a combined assault from the other eight.
After all, in everyone’s eyes, someone with Su Wanyi’s cultivation base could essentially be killed in a single move.
"Humph! A bunch of idiots!"
The red-robed man in the square, witnessing this scene through the Blood Light Sphere, wore a grim expression and snorted coldly.
Anyone can die, but this girl was personally chosen by the Lord. She absolutely cannot die within the Red Dust Fairyland; otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to withstand the Lord’s fury!
Moreover, these ten Heavenly Chosen Ones, before they embarked on the Ascending Immortal Road, were forbidden from killing each other.
As for the Cultivators who had perished on the First and Second Levels of the Red Dust Fairyland, they had all been absorbed by Blood Linglong’s Divine Skills.
Although he had absorbed tens of thousands and traced the Primordial Spirit memories of tens of thousands of people, the red-robed man still hadn’t found the slightest trace of the person the Lord had instructed him to find.
The red-robed man was already adept at using the Blood Light Sphere to search the memories within the minds of deceased Cultivators.
He had done this many times over tens of thousands of years.
However, the outcome was always the same.
He had never found the man his Lady Master spoke of.
Having tried so many times, the red-robed man had long since lost hope.
Each time, he merely carried out the Lord’s orders mechanically.
And this time, the second phase of the plan had been initiated.
The number of Cultivator casualties will increase more than tenfold. To provide a plausible explanation, I will offer the complete inheritance of the Blood Linglong Fairy Hall.
This inheritance was indeed real.
But it was also the first time in tens of thousands of years it had appeared in this world.
The Blood Linglong Fairy Hall would select the strongest among these ten Heavenly Chosen Ones to be its successor.
This penultimate trial.
Was to pass the test of the Ascending Immortal Road.
This trial tested the strength of one’s physique.
Without a powerful physique, one was not qualified to inherit the Blood Linglong Fairy Hall.
WHOOSH!
The red-robed man waved his large hand, and a ray of light shot into the Blood Light Sphere.
At that moment, a thunderclap-like tremor suddenly erupted from the void at the foot of the mountain, instantly stunning the youths who were about to fight.
BUZZ!
The void bloomed with resplendent light, and a line of large, golden characters materialized.
"Step onto the Ascending Immortal Road, and you will be eligible for the inheritance of the Blood Linglong Fairy Hall!"
Seeing this line of golden text that had suddenly appeared, the young men and women were all thrilled.
"It’s true! We’re all qualified, as long as we step onto the Ascending Immortal Road!"
A young man laughed heartily, leaped forward, and immediately landed on the ancient path.
He was about to charge up in one go when he suddenly felt an unimaginable, immense pressure bearing down on him, rendering him unable to use any Mana or Divine Skills.
"This road is strange!"
The young man frowned. With some effort, he lifted his feet and began to walk up the mountain path, neither quickly nor slowly.
The others also leaped up. Their figures paused for a moment before landing on the mountain path. Then, everyone felt that inexplicable suppression, their hearts trembling with shock.
However, having already stepped onto the Ascending Immortal Road, they could only brace themselves and continue upwards.
Everyone trudged onward, their steps uneven, slowly advancing along the mountain path.
This mountain path was rugged and stretched far, disappearing into the clouds and mist, its total length unknown.
And with every step they took, they felt the pressure on their bodies intensify.
Only after seeing everyone else start walking on the mountain path did Su Wanyi slowly make her way over.
She was not in a hurry. This Ascending Immortal Road definitely has something strange about it. Once on it, no one can fly; it seems they’re constrained by some kind of power.
Su Wanyi surmised. What we’re competing in now isn’t speed, but endurance.
When it comes to endurance, with my Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, I don’t believe I’m inferior to anyone present!
Such a powerful restrictive force...
The moment Su Wanyi stepped onto the stone stairs, she felt that powerful restrictive force.
Her Mana and Divine Skills were unusable; now, all she could rely on was the strength of her physical body.
WHOOSH!
Su Wanyi gently exhaled.
Everything was just as she had surmised. If it’s a contest of physical strength, I’m confident I can contend with these Disciples of Heaven’s Pride from the super-forces!
