C45 Fantasy Mountain (1/2)
The Illusory Mountain was not taller than a hundred meters and was shrouded by smoke, standing at the northwest corner of National College of Ouyang. From any angle, this mountain looked very ordinary. It was level and stable, with a peak below that made it look like a pagoda.
Amongst all the peaks of the National College of Ouyang, the Illusory Mountain could be said to be the most terrifying, causing one's expression to change.
From ancient times till now, there had only been five fingers of those who had been able to climb the peak of this mountain.
Even the famous Mr. Yi who broke through three stages in a single day could only climb half a mountain.
The majority of the students from the Ouyang Aristocrat Academy had all climbed this mountain before, but the terrifying power of this mountain caused the majority of the students to be unwilling to climb it again.
Su Ziyan was standing in front of the Mirage Mountain, on top of the hundred meter tall mountain, he could see the top of the mountain. After the first round of screening, there were less than ten thousand people who entered the Ouyang College's gate.
Such a small mountain could really accommodate 10,000 people climbing up at the same time, would it collapse under the pressure? This was clearly Su Ziyan overthinking things.
The Illusory Mountain in front of them was naturally the main meal for this year's Immortal Cultivation entrance exam. Anyone who could stay in the mountain before midnight would be able to successfully enter the National College of Ouyang.
When many of the examinees heard that the rules were so simple, their faces revealed expressions of disapproval.
But Su Ziyan knew that the simpler it looked, the more it must contain the universe.
”Uncle Liu Shang, take a look at this Illusory Mountain and see if there are any hidden murderous intents.” Su Ziyan secretly asked Liu Shang when no one was looking.
Liu Shang casually glanced at the Illusory Mountain, and said disapprovingly, ”I see that this mountain is not that big of a deal, as long as your willpower is strong enough, you will definitely be able to hold on until midnight. It's just that the Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild is not worth mentioning. ”
Liu Shang spoke very easily, causing Su Ziyan's heart to thump loudly. An ominous cloud covered her head.
A benevolent looking old man looked at the prideful examinee and reminded him, ”This mountain is not as simple as you see it. It is generated from the heart, and with every step you take, you can see different fantasies. These illusions are not illusory, but actually exist on the body. ”
”If you can't endure the torture, as long as you shout out loud, the array formation that touched Mirage Mountain will automatically send you out. This also means that you have failed this exam.”
”The trial of Illusory Dream Mountain will now begin. I hope that the examinees can persevere until midnight.”
Su Ziyan took a deep breath, smiled, and walked forward. Stepping onto the soft soil, Su Ziyan instantly reached another world.
The sharp blades appeared in rows in front of him, the cold cold light reflected off the blade and into Su Ziyan's eyes, the continuous blade mountain released a dangerous Qi.
Blood gushed out from his feet like a spring. Su Ziyan looked down and a sharp blade instantly pierced the bottom of his feet. With another step, his two legs became bloody and several bloody holes appeared in the soles of his feet. A heart-wrenching pain continuously came from the soles of his feet.
Miserable cries of pain rang out from the surroundings. It was as if the examinees were unable to adapt in such a short period of time. Cries of pain and shock rang out one after another. These examinees had been mercilessly sent out by the Illusory Dream Mountain array formation.
”Liu Shang, Liu Shang...” Su Ziyan called out softly, but she did not hear her reply. She knew that she could only face this trial by herself. She couldn't see Liu Shang in the Illusory Mountain.
Su Ziyan had been wounded countless times in the Xunyang City's guards, but she had never shed a single tear.
These were illusions. They were fake. They did not exist. As long as he could bear with it, it would be fine. Su Ziyan kept hypnotizing or deceiving himself in his heart.
It had only been three steps, and the soles of his feet could no longer bear to look straight at it. A large chunk of flesh and blood began to churn. When the blade stabbed into the bone, there was no sound at all. It was as if the blade had stabbed into cotton.
If the illusion was too real, then even the pain was real. Su Ziyan clenched her teeth, her white teeth biting so hard that blood flowed out from her lips.
Do not shout, do not shout. Once it was shouted, everything would be for naught.
Su Ziyan had also wanted to cut these sharp blades before, but even after using all her techniques, she was unable to harm the blade by even a little, so he gave up on that idea.
There were countless examinees climbing the mountain beside Su Ziyan. Although Su Ziyan couldn't see them, she could feel them. The number of examinees was constantly decreasing as they were continuously being sent out by the formation.
His foot had just started off like this, how should he walk on the road after that?
After walking about ten steps, Su Ziyan could no longer hold on, her left leg trembled and she fell to her knees.
The sharp blade pierced through her calf bone, the blood staining her pink dress red. The gorgeous blood stains were like blooming roses.
”Ah …” Su Ziyan couldn't help but groan as she quickly shut her mouth. She really wanted to use a magic that prevented her from speaking.
Su Ziyan clenched her fists tightly and slowly stood up, pulling the leg bones out from the sharp blades.
It was a good thing that the bones in Su Ziyan's body were strong and durable, allowing her to recover from her injuries. Otherwise, just the continuous flow of blood would have been able to make her faint.
”Just now, Uncle Liu Shang said that there is a sea of fire and a mountain of blades, could it be that there is a sea of fire?!” Just as this thought appeared in his mind, the scene before him underwent a tremendous change.
The blade of the scimitar was pulled back, and large flames emerged from the ground. The flames reached a height of more than one meter at a very fast speed.
The entire world quickly turned into a sea of fire. Black gas surged and smoke wreaked havoc, causing people to choke to the point that they couldn't even open their eyes.
