Boom!
A murmur of astonishment swept through the crowd, many exchanging puzzled looks, unsure who had the audacity to utter such words in Yuanzhou City.
Chu Xingze’s face darkened to the point it seemed he could drip water, his gaze fixed on Xue An, “Very well, you’re seeking your own death!”
With that, he was about to make a move.
Bian Qingmu stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Xue An, her voice cold as she said, “Chu Xingze, the trial is imminent, let’s settle our grievances during the trial! Besides, this is a street in Yuanzhou City, if you make a move here, you are openly defying the Xuanyuan Sect’s edict!”
Because once cultivators start to fight, the destructive power is immense!
Therefore, in all the major cities, there are explicit orders forbidding cultivators above the Heavenly Human Realm from engaging in private battles!
Upon hearing this, Chu Xingze’s expression fluctuated between dark and light and then he nodded. Brimming with killing intent, he said to Xue An, “During the trial, I will tear you to pieces!”
Xue An smiled indifferently, “I am very much looking forward to it!”
Chu Xingze huffed angrily and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Bian Qingmu looked somber, holding back the rage in her heart until they returned to their residence, where she finally spoke.
“I’m not sure what you’re thinking, but that Chu Xingze is a True Disciple wholly cultivated by the Xuanyuan Sect, with formidable strength, and a man who is petty and exceedingly cruel and vicious! During the trial, you’d better watch out for yourself!”
Xue An smiled nonchalantly, neither confirming nor denying, “Alright, when the time comes, I’ll surely teach him a lesson in humanity!”
Bian Qingmu couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation upon hearing this.
After returning to her room, she was still somewhat irritated.
In her view, Xue An’s attitude was simply infuriating.
He acted as though he was invincible, not caring about anything!
I hope you can withstand tomorrow’s trial, then you’ll understand how vast Kunlun is, filled with numerous masters! Bian Qingmu thought to herself.
Meanwhile, at the Xuanyuan Sect.
Sha’er looked at Chu Xingze standing below, his face showing admiration.
“You’re saying… Bian Qingmu has already arrived?”
“Master, your disciple saw her with his own eyes on the main street!”
“Good, since she has the courage to come, then don’t let her leave! Do you have the confidence to handle this?” Sha’er asked indifferently.
“Disciple is completely confident that he can make her die on the stage of the trial!” Chu Xingze stated firmly.
“Good. You’re now at Half-step Longevity. If you perform well in this trial and make it to Jizhou, or even to the main city of Kunlun, then I will cultivate you with all my might! In the future… Longevity is within reach for you!”
Chu Xingze was overjoyed, “Thank you, Master! Your disciple will not let you down!”
The next day.
All those participating in the trial had gathered at the venue for the competition.
Bian Qingmu looked up at the trial field emitting a faint halo, seemingly losing herself in the wistfulness of the moment.
“The methods of the Immortal Palace are truly unfathomable, such a small venue can accommodate so many people, and even hold trials simultaneously!”
Upon hearing this, Xue An laughed, a flash of light twinkling in his eyes.
During these past few days, he had learned much about the Immortal Realm of Kunlun.
Kunlun’s Immortal Realm, plainly speaking, is also a secret realm, only much larger than the previous War Wolf Secret Realm, big enough to be half the size of Earth.
In this land, many cities are scattered like stars across the sky.
The central location is where the main city of Kunlun’s Immortal Realm lies!
And this triennial trial, it is hosted by the Immortal Palace of Kunlun’s main city.
It starts with the initial round of selection and if one stands out, they can enter their respective main city for the second round of trials!
Only after passing both rounds, one earns the right to enter the main city of Kunlun and go through the ultimate trial!
The reason for this arrangement is to decide the distribution of various resources for immortal cultivation through this method.
And the so-called Immortal Palace!
It is the Holy Land in the hearts of all cultivators in Kunlun’s Immortal Realm!
There, the lowest cultivation level is Heavenly Human!
The Sect Master has even reached the Golden Immortal Realm!
There are even rumors that within the Immortal Palace, there exists a Golden Immortal Peak who has yet to fall!
Such strength is enough to look down upon all rivals in this secret realm!
For instance, the current Trial Divine Stone has left even someone like Bian Qingmu in awe, heralding it as a divine miracle.
But to Xue An, it seems like a very simple Immortal Law!
However, “Immortal” Law as it is, once it bears the word “immortal,” there is an essential difference from mortals!
It seems that this trip to Kunlun is indeed full of pleasant surprises, Xue An thought to himself.
People began to enter the arena one after another.
Chu Xingze gave Bian Qingmu and Xue An a grim smile before striding in with his head held high.
Bian Qingmu spoke in a deep voice, “If you feel outmatched after going in, you can choose to surrender. At least in that way you can keep your life!”
Xue An smiled faintly, “That advice, you should save for yourself!”
Having said that, Xue An stepped into the trial arena.
Bian Qingmu was shocked and angry, but ultimately, he clenched his teeth and followed inside.
Outside the trial arena, people from various sects waited anxiously!
Sha’er, with his esteemed status, naturally wouldn’t stand below. He was currently waiting in the closest building to the trial arena, a wine pavilion.
He was fully confident in his disciple’s trial this time!
After all… that was a Half-step Longevity!
Whereas Bian Hua and Bian Tian, the brother and sister, were silently praying in the crowd below.
Praying that sister Qingmu and the Immortal Master could both return safely!
As soon as Bian Qingmu stepped into the light curtain, she felt a darkness before her eyes, and then she appeared in a room.
Her opponent was a bare-chested muscular man!
Bian Qingmu secretly breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn’t Chu Xingze that she faced first, it was a good thing!
The muscular man then started to sneer, “How did such a tender and delicate little ma’am come here? You won’t even last a single punch from me!”
Despite saying so, the muscular man still threw a punch.
Accompanying the fist was a series of tiger roars.
It’s someone from the Tiger Slaying Sect! Bian Qingmu thought with a start.
The Tiger Slaying Sect was a rising sect nearby with quite formidable strength!
Bian Qingmu dared not receive the punch head-on; she dodged to the side, and with a delicate shout, “Green Wood Kill!”
Several vines as thick as arms instantly wrapped around the muscular man.
The muscular man struggled vehemently, breaking the vines with the sound of snapping, but no matter how many shattered, more vines would replenish them.
Soon, the man from the Tiger Slaying Sect was engulfed by the endless vines.
In the end, he had no choice but to shout loudly, “I concede!”
Bian Qingmu withdrew her Spell Decree, took half a step back, and said with a cupped fist salute, “Thank you for the concession!”
The first round!
Bian Qingmu won!
Afterwards, she won several more rounds in succession, moving up in the ranks, but the opponents she faced began to grow increasingly powerful.
Finally!
After a flash of light and a transition, a cold and mocking laughter came through, “Good, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Hearing this voice, Bian Qingmu’s expression changed drastically, and she turned to look.
There Chu Xingze stood, his face filled with a murderous look as he stared at her.
Bian Qingmu’s heart sank, but she still gritted her teeth and said, “Chu Xingze, today, we will settle our victory and defeat!”
