On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 94: Trial (End)

After allowing everyone enough time to make their decisions, Long Wei resumed speaking.

His voice filled the room, ensuring that all participants could hear him clearly.

"I believe we have already given everyone the time to make their decision.

Now, before we begin, does anyone have a question?"

Zou Yang raised his hand and said, "I have a question, senior." He showed respect by cupping his hand and waited for Long Wei's response.

Long Wei and Su Linhua glanced towards a person who raised their hand.

"Go ahead," Long Wei said, motioning for Zou Yang to ask his question.

"Senior, you mentioned two trials for two inheritances, is that correct?" Zou Yang asked.

Long Wei nodded in agreement. "Yes."

"In that case, may I inquire whether a person can participate in both trials?" Zou Yang asked with a smile on his face.

He wanted to know if one person could take part in both trials for the two inheritances mentioned by the two Seniors.

"Hahaha, Long Wei chuckled," That's an interesting question, kid. No, one could only choose one trial; one person could choose either the fire or Ice trials.

The trials are designed to test different skills and abilities, so it would be a challenge to excel in both.

Do you have any plans to attempt both trials?" Zou Yang shook his head, "No, Senior. I was just curious."

Long Wei nodded, "Well, it's good to know that too much isn't always better. It's important to focus on one thing."

"Before we begin the trial, does anyone have any further questions?" Long Wei asked once more.

Yin Yun raised her hand and said, "I do have a question, senior."

"What would you like to know?" Long Wei inquired.

"I was wondering if we could receive more details about what our tasks will be during the trial?" Yin Yun asked.

"Don't worry, we'll let everyone know when we arrive at the trial location."

"I understand, seniors."

"Any other questions?"

Observing that nobody raised their hand or spoke up, Long Wei interpreted it as a signal that there were no further questions to be answered before the trial commenced.

He nodded and proceeded with the next steps.

"Alright then," he said, addressing the participants. "Let's begin the trial. Those who want to enter the trial of Fire raise your hand."

After he spoke, a lot of people began to raise their hands.

"Bingxin, I will see you after the trial." Chen Tian spoke as he stroked Su Bingxin's face.

"Are you going to participate in the fire trial?"

"Yes, I don't have much affinity with the ice element, so my best option is the fire element."

Chen Tian had planned to take part in the trial of fire, because his dantian reacted strangely when Long Wei approached him.

Chen Tian was certain that the next Crystal in the trial would be related to fire, as Long Wei was the master of the fire trial.

"I might find it in this trial," Chen Tian thought, feeling determined as he gazed at Su Bingxin.

"I will do my best to succeed in the fire trial, I trust you will also succeed," he said with a smile.

Su Bingxin nodded in understanding and gave him a reassuring kiss on the cheek. "I believe in you."

As Su Bingxin pulled away from the kiss, her face flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and affection.

She gazed into his eyes, her voice filled with genuine sincerity.

Chen Tian was surprised by the sudden kiss and couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth in his heart.

He grasped both of her hand, intertwining their fingers, and gave her a grateful smile. "Thank you, my beautiful Dao partner," he whispered, his voice filled with gratitude.

"Um"

Su Bingxin knew that Chen Tin was her dao companion, even if both of them had only known each other for a few days.

She experienced a comforting sensation as Chen Tin gently held her hand, their fingers intertwining effortlessly.

His eyes gleamed with sincere appreciation, and his voice exuded a gentle tenderness. Su Bingxin couldn't resist being enchanted by his genuine gratitude and the warmth in his voice.

It was as if a silent understanding had formed between them, transcending the brief period they had known each other.

As they stood there, the world around them seemed to fade into the background, and Su Bingxin realized that Chen Tin's presence had quickly become significant in her life.

The way he made her feel valued and appreciated resonated deeply with her.

No one had ever made her feel this way before in her entire life.

Everyone in the sect looked down on her because she couldn't summon her Dao partner. The only people she trusted were her master, who had left the sect for some unknown reason, and the sect master.

Since her master's departure, Su Bingxin felt completely alone in the sect.

The only solace she found was in the company of the children she cared for. But when she summoned Chen Tian, she no longer felt lonely.

His presence had filled a void in her life, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for him as well.

"Thank you," Su Bingxin finally whispered, her voice barely audible yet filled with genuine appreciation.

At that moment, she felt an indescribable connection between them—an inseparable bond that went beyond time and reason. It felt as if their souls understood each other.

After a short pause, Long Wei nodded with approval. "Great," he said, his voice filled with power.

"Those of you who raised your hands, get ready."

Woshhh~~

With a simple gesture, all the people who had chosen the fire trial vanished. Long Wei also disappeared, no longer present in the room.

Su Linhua remained floating there, all by herself in the center of the room.

"We will also start the Ice trial."

Afterward, she also announced the commencement of the Ice trial.

With a swift gesture, the remaining participants scattered alongside her.

Out of the total 300 participants, 200 opted for the fire trial, while only 100 selected the ice trial.

The fire trial seemed to be the more favored choice in terms of participants. Nevertheless, the number of participants does not necessarily indicate the trial's level of difficulty.

Outside the Mystic Realm

"I never thought there was a master for this trial," said the Sixth Elder. "The record we have doesn't say anything about it."

"Don't forget it's an ancient trial," Xu Zhiyuan replied. "No one can be completely sure what will happen inside. We're lucky enough to even know that such a place existed in this desolate area."

"Second Elder is correct," nodded the Fifth Elder. "We can never trust information related to the ancient era or anything associated with it."

"We were hoping that one of our Immortal Sect Disciples could obtain this inheritance. We paid a significant amount to acquire the information before any other sect could get wind of it," spoke the sixth elder, his expression serious.

"Don't worry, for some reason, I have a feeling that the inheritance will not go to waste," reassured Xu Zhiyuan.

"I hope so, Second Elder. I really hope so."

"I think the trial has begun," the Fifth Elder said, gesturing toward the screens in the sky that were gradually fading away.

Suddenly, two new screens appeared, each displaying distinct scenes. One showed a location engulfed in flames, lava, and scorching heat.

Molten lava flowed through a rugged landscape, creating rivers of red-hot liquid rock.

Flames danced and roared, consuming everything in their path. The air shimmered with waves of heat, making it almost unbearable for anyone to approach.

The scene depicted a volcanic environment, with smoky plumes rising from active vents and ash raining down from the sky.

The second screen portrayed an entirely contrasting scene, showcasing a place blanketed in ice and snow. Frozen landscapes stretched as far as the eye could see, with towering mountains covered in glistening white snow.

Icicles hung from trees and cliffs, sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight.

A frigid breeze swept through the icy terrain, carrying with it the sound of cracking ice and the occasional howl of the wind.
