Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 2139 Raw 2244 : Initial Challenge

Lin Feng broke through the Trial Tower’s sixth floor on his first attempt, prompting four Faux God experts to appear.

The main reason for Lin Feng attracting four Faux Gods on his first attempt was not him breaking through to the sixth floor. Instead, before he arrived here, his name had already circulated among some circles of the Faux God World.

The higher-level Great Dao were much stronger than the attribute Great Dao.

Among Faux Gods, few could comprehend such higher-level Great Dao. However, once one comprehended one, one would become incredible. Without exception, one would be among the peak of Faux Gods, an existence so strong that their mere presence suffocated others.

While a seed like Lin Feng was far from the Faux God Realm, once he reached it, he would immediately surpass many of the older-generation Faux Gods. His status would soar infinitely.

The Faux Gods approaching him was like establishing connections with an ordinary citizen fated to become the emperor in the future. There were only benefits and no harm in doing this.

Furthermore, Lin Feng showed extraordinary talent. Naturally, Faux God experts would be willing to spend their time guiding such a person.

Just thinking about it made everything clear.

Even though everyone understood the principle, the members of the Heavenly Alliance and of the other super factions here still felt shocked.

“Xiao Chen, penny for your thoughts?”

Ao Jiao looked at Xiao Chen mischievously. In the Sky Dome Realm and the Kunlun Realm, it had always been others looking up to him. The people from the same age would feel tremendous pressure from him, relegated to chasing him.

After coming to the Faux God World, Xiao Chen became like one of the common people, chasing after another person from behind.

Xiao Chen understood what Ao Jiao meant. He said, “I’m used to it. Since coming to the Great Thousand Realms, I have experienced too much of this.”

The other demonic geniuses and outstanding talents in the Great Thousand Realms did not shock Xiao Chen too much.

Xiao Chen had already gotten used to it. There was no need to envy others. If he wanted to stand out, all he had to do was expose his state of cycle. If so, he definitely would enjoy attention rivaling what Grim Reaper Lin Feng received.

However, there was no need for that. Many years ago, Xiao Chen had come to understand that one should live for oneself. He just regained his state of cycle and was far from using it freely.

He would just maintain his rhythm and take things step by step. He would not let the matters of the world disturb his mental state.

Ao Jiao smiled faintly and did not pursue this topic. Then, she asked seriously, “How many floors do you think you can clear on your first attempt?”

Xiao Chen seriously pondered this before replying, “If I don’t include my trump cards, I am weaker than Gongzi Lan, Mo Yu, and Wu Meng. If there are no surprises, I should stop at the sixth floor. Breaking through the first three floors should not be a problem.”

Most people could not break through the Trial Tower’s third floor on their first attempt.

Of the one hundred ten people of the Heavenly Alliance, only four or five people could pass the third floor. Aside from Lin Feng, only Gongzi Lan, Mo Yu, and Wu Meng made it to the sixth floor.

“White Robed Xiao Chen, why are you not making your attempt yet?” action

As Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao chatted, he saw Spear Sovereign Mo Yu and Saber Demon Wu Meng walking over.

The one who spoke was Saber Demon Wu Meng, a stout and straightforward man.

The two had not interacted before this. Xiao Chen was surprised that the other party took the initiative to come over.

Xiao Chen nodded his head slightly and said, “There’s no rush.”

“Mo Yu and I made a bet on whether you can make it to the sixth floor or not. He does not believe that you can, completely looking down on you.”

The Saber Demon smiled, radiating a strong killing Qi. He appeared very ferocious. While this smile tried to convey friendliness, he still looked very intimidating.

Mo Yu, who had a spear slung on his back, showed a cold expression with icy eyes. He gave off a similar air to Lin Feng’s, but there was a basic difference. He cultivated the Ice Great Dao, and his nature was as such. He was not like Lin Feng, whose eyes completely lacked color.

Mo Yu said coldly, “Stop stirring up trouble. To me, Xiao Chen is an opponent in the same class as Lin Feng. He just lacks time.”

Wu Meng laughed, “Hahaha! I don’t care about that. In any case, you don’t believe that Xiao Chen can make it to the sixth floor right now, but I do! Xiao Chen, don’t disappoint me. The two of us wagered one hundred Faux God Coins.”

Clearly, a high evaluation by an expert like Wu Meng was a happy thing. Xiao Chen said, “I’ll do my best.”

By now, most of the Heavenly Alliance newcomers had already attempted the Trial Tower. After exchanging some words with the two, Xiao Chen walked over to the Trial Tower.

“Xiao Chen!”

“I’ve heard that he was why Mu Yunzhu rolled off the one hundred thousand steps.”

“Knock it off. Senior Brother Mu was just careless. If not for that Martial God Palace’s Solar Divine Daughter and the Golden Crow Holy Beast, Senior Brother Mu can kill him with one hand and still have plenty to spare.”

“I heard that he is only forty-seven years old this year, the same as those geniuses of the Universe Origin Sect and the Martial God Palace. His potential is boundless!”

Xiao Chen’s appearance provoked noisy discussion. The matter that happened on the Comprehension Platform one month ago cropped up inevitably.

Immediately, many Profound Heaven Holy Land disciples felt upset and started arguing back.

At the same time, above a palace high in the sky of the Holy Domain’s Divine Capital:

An ancient man suddenly descended. This ancient gave off a strong aura and a vast saber intent.

Another old man walked out of the palace and said, “Xi Mu, you came?”

Xi Mu nodded and said softly, “I heard that two good bladesman seedlings are among the Heavenly Alliance’s latest batch. It seems that they have gone to the Trial Tower.”

“You are looking for an heir.”

“I’m old already and do not want the Saber Techniques that I worked so hard on to be lost. Hah...it is tough to find an heir.”

“You old fool, you set your sights too high. For the past few centuries, we, your old friends, introduced so many seedlings to you, trying to help you find a genius to succeed your mantle. Even if we did not send ten thousand to you, there were at least eight or nine thousand. You were the one who did not take a fancy to them.”

Clearly, these two old men had a good relationship. They did not hold back as they bantered.

Faux God Xi Mu shook his head slightly and said, “It is better to have nothing than something substandard. Since I cannot find someone suitable, it might as well end with me. Have they started?”

“Wu Meng already came out, but I recorded the entire process of his attempt for you. The other one is just about to enter.” The old man handed Xi Mu a jade strip after finishing.

Xi Mu received the jade strip and took a quick look. Then, his eyes lit up.

The other old man smiled and said, “This person is known as Saber Demon in the Heavenly Alliance. When he executes his Saber Technique, he becomes like a crazed demon. He wields his killing Qi indiscriminately, using it without any qualms, but he does not fall into the Demonic Dao. Clearly, he can control it freely, showing both quantity and fine control. He is a rare genius bladesman.”

“Not bad, not bad. Such crazy demonic movements are very rare. He is a true bladesman with the heart of a bladesman.”

Xi Mu put the jade strip aside and nodded in praise. However, he did not express interest. He asked seriously, “What about the other person?”

“The other person is equally incredible. He entered the Heavenly Alliance at merely forty-seven years old. He is nicknamed the White Robed Bladesman. Although he is young, his Saber Techniques are practiced and stable. He walks a saber Dao that he figured out himself, different from the various schools of saber skills.”

When introducing Xiao Chen, this old man generously showered praises like before.

“He created his own saber Dao? He is merely forty-seven years old, and he wants to create his own saber Dao? He overestimates himself, too pompous,” Xi Mu grumbled in dissatisfaction and frowned when he heard what the other old man said.

“Don’t judge so quickly. It happens that he is just entering the Trial Tower. So, let’s watch first?” the other old man suggested.

Xi Mu nodded and said, “We will see. Right now, many youths are proud and arrogant. Unwilling to submit to anyone. They always want to ascend to heaven in one step, thinking lowly of the senior powerhouses and feeling that they can carve out a path that surpasses their predecessors. In reality, they are all ignorant people. By the time they feel regret, it’s already too late.”

The other old man’s heart skipped a beat. His old friend Xi Mu hated people who aimed too high the most.

It looked like it would be difficult for Xiao Chen to catch Xi Mu’s fancy.

Saber Demon Wu Meng had much more hope.

Inside the Trial Tower, Xiao Chen remained calm as he entered the first floor.

He did not know that two Faux Gods were currently paying attention to his every move.

Xiao Chen curiously sized up his surroundings as he looked around the first floor. Then, a little light figure, similar to the secret realms’ Realm Spirit, appeared before him.

“The Heavenly Alliance’s Xiao Chen, welcome to the Trial Tower. I am the Item Spirit responsible for maintaining the Trial Tower. Because this is your first attempt, you do not have many privileges. Right now, you have only one. You may choose the environment for your first floor: desolate plains, desert, or grassland.”

“Is there more?”

“With your current privileges, you have only these three for now.”

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. The three environments were very similar; none of them suited his attributes, so he just casually chose one. “Desert.”

“Good. The first floor’s trial will begin. I wish you good luck.”

Right after the Trial Tower’s Item Spirit spoke, the scene before Xiao Chen changed. In the next moment, he appeared within a vast desert.
