Chapter 702 - 332: Quasi-Tier 4 Poisonous Gu, There Are No More Immortals in the World
Soon, the three of them arrived at the entrance to the Land of Trial, before the Cyan Wood Divine Pagoda.
The two from Prince Huai’s Mansion were already waiting there.
A man and a woman, both with impressive Cultivation.
Their gazes landed on Li Chang’an almost simultaneously.
The Female Cultivator among them chuckled lightly. "You must be Daoist Li Chang’an? To have reached Core Formation with a Low Grade Spirit Root is truly admirable."
This woman’s name was Qi Jingyun.
She was at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, capable of fighting those in higher stages, and was considered a genius.
The male cultivator also smiled. "I am Qi Yuan. I have long heard of Daoist Li’s great name. Once we enter the Land of Trial, I hope Daoist Li will show some mercy."
Qi Yuan’s Cultivation was also at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
Hearing their words,
Qi Lingshuang’s heart skipped a beat. ’This is bad,’ she thought.
Obviously, these two had already set their sights on Li Chang’an.
With their combined strength, dealing with a mere Early Stage Golden Core Loose Cultivator would be a simple task.
Qi Lingshuang sighed to herself and sent a Sound Transmission to Jiang Muyu: "Muyu, you handled this poorly. You really shouldn’t have brought Li Chang’an."
Jiang Muyu gave a gentle smile. "Sister Lingshuang, Sir won’t hold us back. Don’t you worry."
"Fine. I’ll let it slide this time, but don’t be so reckless again!"
Not long after, five Wooden Tokens flew in from the horizon and landed in their hands.
Immediately after, a flat voice sounded in their ears.
"With this token, you may enter the Cyan Wood Divine Pagoda for the trial. If you encounter a crisis, you may crush the token to forfeit the trial, and I will personally send you out of the Divine Pagoda."
"Yes."
The five responded in unison.
They exchanged glances and entered the Cyan Wood Divine Pagoda one after another.
The inside of the pagoda was indeed a world of its own.
What appeared before Li Chang’an’s eyes was a vast minor world.
’The five layers of the pagoda are five minor worlds. This is the first one.’
As far as the eye could see, this minor world was filled with towering Ancient Wood, lush and green, and teeming with life.
As a Cultivator with a Wood Spirit Root, Li Chang’an felt especially comfortable here.
He, Jiang Muyu, and Qi Lingshuang moved together, transforming into three streaks of light that crossed over mountain range after mountain range, heading straight for the depths of this minor world.
Qi Jingyun and Qi Yuan of Prince Huai’s Mansion did the same, maintaining a certain distance from them.
Along the way, the atmosphere was quite delicate.
Neither side made a move, nor did they exchange any words.
Until one hour later, a drop of liquid, greenish-blue all over, crystal clear like a green crystal, appeared before their eyes.
"Cyan Wood Dew!"
The eyes of all five people fell upon that drop of Cyan Wood Dew at the same time.
Qi Lingshuang waved her hand. With extreme speed, she collected the drop of Cyan Wood Dew in an instant.
Not far away, Qi Yuan’s eyes turned cold. The aura of his Golden Core erupted, and he was about to make a move.
But Qi Jingyun held him back, saying calmly, "It’s just one drop. There’s no need to fight over it. There will be plenty more later."
After speaking, she transformed into a streak of light and sped away.
Qi Yuan alone was no match for Jiang Muyu and Qi Lingshuang, so he could only give up and leave with her.
Over the next few hours, more than ten drops of Cyan Wood Dew appeared one after another.
Some were taken by Qi Lingshuang and Jiang Muyu, while others were collected by Qi Jingyun and Qi Yuan.
Perhaps because this was only the first layer, both sides exercised restraint and did not break out into a major conflict, only clashing briefly once.
During this time, Li Chang’an had been observing the minor world.
He was interested in the legacy of the Cyan Wood Celestial Monarch. Since this Cyan Wood Divine Pagoda was a gift from the Cyan Wood Celestial Monarch to the Great Qi, perhaps it held clues to the inheritance of the Cyan Wood True Monarch.
Before they knew it, the five of them had arrived at the central region of the minor world.
Further ahead, the minor world became very peculiar.
One half of the world was still vibrant and full of life, while the other half was filled with an aura of decay.
In that half of the world, all things were withered and yellow. Everything was in a state of decay, as if it had all died.
Between the two halves of the world was a very distinct celestial screen, making it impossible to cross from one side to the other.
According to the records left by disciples from previous trials, the decaying half of the world was fraught with crises and countless perilous areas. The dangers there changed constantly and were completely unpredictable.
However, the amount of Cyan Wood Dew within it far exceeded that in the vibrant half.
Qi Jingyun chuckled lightly. "Everyone, it’s time to make a choice. Qi Yuan and I intend to enter the decaying world on the left. Although the dangers are many, opportunity always coexists with danger."
Qi Lingshuang, her pretty face cold and indifferent, also made her choice.
"Muyu, we will also enter the world on the left."
Jiang Muyu didn’t reply, instead just looking at Li Chang’an.
She asked in a soft voice, "Sir, which way should we go?"
"Let me think..."
Li Chang’an pinched his fingers together, making a quick calculation.
He had a faint feeling that he would find more Treasures by taking the vibrant path.
The decaying half of the world, however, filled his eyes with a blood-red light, and a single glance made him feel uneasy.
"Muyu, follow me to the right."
"Okay!"
Jiang Muyu agreed at once, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this, Qi Lingshuang’s expression immediately darkened.
"Muyu, the right side may be safer, but the amount of Cyan Wood Dew is far less than on the left. You will listen to me on this!"
"Sister Lingshuang, we should listen to Sir. Sir is always right."
This time, Jiang Muyu’s attitude was a bit more firm as she stood by Li Chang’an’s side.
After some argument, Qi Lingshuang wore a helpless expression and decided to go to the world on the left by herself.
She shot Li Chang’an a fierce glare and sent him a covert Sound Transmission: "Li Chang’an, why did you have to come here? If Muyu’s trial results are poor because of you, I will definitely report this to Senior Jiang Xuanyuan!"
Without giving Li Chang’an a chance to respond, she transformed into a streak of light and flew straight into the decaying world on the left.
Not far away, Qi Jingyun and Qi Yuan exchanged a look.
