”So it's senior brother Cang Yun. Nice to meet you. I'm a disciple of the Floating Cloud Realm, Peng Kong.”
Amongst the people present, a young man approached Cang Yun and said with a smile.
Floating Cloud World?
”Nice to meet you.” Cang Yun replied with a smile. The Floating Cloud World was Peng Jie's power, and the two of them had a pretty good relationship.
”Hmph, what senior brother? He only has the third layer of the secret scripture.” However, someone in the crowd suddenly muttered in dissatisfaction.
On the path of martial arts, the first to reach the top was senior brother. This was because there was no age difference, so this person had said that. However, his voice didn't carry much confidence. It was clear that he was somewhat afraid of Cang Yun.
”The people of the Netherworld?” Cang Yun glanced at the person who spoke. The Netherworld was Cang Yun's mortal enemy, so Cang Yun did have some memory of the people from his faction, but Cang Yun did not care. This person only had the cultivation of the third realm, so it was difficult to arouse his interest.
”Senior Brother Cang Yun was delayed for only two years. In terms of talent, I can't even catch up, so it's reasonable for me to call myself junior brother.” Peng Kong kept his attitude very low. In fact, he was still rather respectful towards Cang Yun. He was the number one genius of the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy in the past hundred years. Such a person was worthy of his respect.
”You're too polite.” If it was two years ago, Cang Yun might have been a little proud of his talent, but after two years of training, he was no longer interested in his title of being vain. In fact, Cang Yun also knew that there was always someone better than him, and his talent was not something to be proud of.
Seeing Cang Yun's calm appearance, the disciple of the Underworld Realm's disciple curled his lips and did not speak anymore. Although the former appeared to be only at the third layer of cultivation, he still felt a little guilty. As the young master of the Vastheaven Realm, he definitely had many methods that exceeded his imagination.
After this simple interlude, everyone put away their thoughts and started to pay attention to the Immortal Palace test.
Right at this moment, with a 'swoosh' sound, in front of everyone, the vast expanse of white ground began to twist and distort.
In the blink of an eye, a bottomless dark and cold abyss appeared out of thin air. The abyss was over a hundred zhang wide, and its length could not be seen. It was difficult to cross over, and above the abyss, an enormous bridge of light appeared.
This bridge of light was thirty meters wide, three hundred meters long, and towering.
On the bridge of light, an image slowly converged and became distinct. In the blink of an eye, it formed into a gigantic spirit beast!
This spirit beast was fifteen meters tall and looked like an enormous tiger. Scarlet flames burned wildly on its body and it looked majestic.
It had the fangs of a spear and the claws of a sword. Under the illumination of the flames around its body, its tiger eyes bloomed with a faint, cold light, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
”What a ferocious spirit beast …” But how did it happen? ”
All the youths present were slightly startled, and their eyes flickered with surprise.
This tiger-shaped spirit beast was formed from thin air, and was obviously not a normal living creature. However, the feeling it gave people was very real. It had flesh and blood, and even the pressure in its eyes was extremely vivid, shocking.
However, everyone had seen its appearance. Thus, they knew that the spirit beast in front of them was actually made up of energy. It was just that it was too real and gave off an illusion of being in a trance.
An energy type spirit beast was able to completely imitate the feeling of a real spirit beast. This method was shocking, and judging from the spirit creature's aura, its strength was beyond ordinary. This was even more shocking.
”Each of you will have one chance to support for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. You can pass the first stage.”
At this moment, the indifferent, metal-like voice sounded again.
”Such a rule …”
”It doesn't seem too difficult …”
Everyone's eyes lit up. They had originally thought that they would be able to defeat the spirit beast in front of them, but the truth was that they only needed to endure for an incense stick of time before they could pass.
The aura of the tiger-shaped spirit beast was intimidating. If they wanted to defeat it, no one had the confidence to do so. However, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to only last for an incense stick of time!
Everyone was thinking this …
”In any case, everyone has to take the test, so I'll just lead the way.”
After a while, one of the youths finally could not hold back the anxiousness in his heart and walked towards the light bridge.
In the eyes of this young man, since he was going up first, he might as well take the top spot. Maybe he would receive some extra reward for his bravery, so he would earn big.
Of course, although this youth's mind was filled with thoughts, he didn't show any signs of underestimating his opponent. Facing the spirit beast in front of him, his expression was grave and he raised his guard at all times.
This was an Immortal Palace test. If he failed, it would mean that he would be eliminated. This youth had spent a lot of effort to enter, so he didn't want to be the first one to be thrown out.
The spirit beast in front of them was clearly not ordinary. The scarlet flames burning around its body danced like flaming snakes, and its frightening aura made one not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.
The cold voice from before had said that as long as one was able to endure for an incense stick of time on the bridge of light, they would be able to pass.
Therefore, this youth didn't even think about attacking this spirit beast. He decided that as long as he could support the pillar, it would be fine.
It was naturally much easier to defeat this spiritual beast with just his strength alone …
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the youth finally stepped onto the light bridge.
”Roar!”
