Chapter 921 Heavenly Tower (2)
âLittle brats of this mortal world, welcome to the trial grounds of my Imperial Mandate Sect!â
The old manâs voice wasnât overly loud, but Shun Long could still feel his spiritual sea shudder for some reason! In the beginning, he felt as if the old manâs voice was being transmitted directly into his mind, but as time passed, he quickly realized that things werenât as simple as that. The owner of the voice didnât just use his soul sense to transmit it, but there was some extremely mystical quality to it that made his voice reverberate throughout the entire âCity of Immortalsâ!
It didnât matter where someone was, what type of place they were trapped in, or what type of treasures they tried to use to defend themselves from any external influence, once the old, ancient voice resounded through the air, every single Dao King present in the âCity of Immortalsâ heard its contents whether they wished to or not!
In fact, the Dao King realm cultivators werenât the only ones who seemed to have heard it. In the second level of the âCity of Immortalsâ, a similar scene was taking place as well.
The Dao Emperors there abruptly halted their actions and turned to look at the now darkened sky, where an enormous blurry face had already started taking shape, before the old manâs voice echoed in their minds as well!
âWhether you were strong enough to survive all by yourselves so far, whether you used others, or if you simply hid away and avoided trouble, itâs all irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that you stayed alive. Strength is a skill, cunningness is a skill, but luck⊠thatâs an even more important skill for cultivators to have. Since all of you were fortunate enough to survive until today, it means that fate has bestowed a chance upon you. Step into the Heavenly Tower and test yourselves. This old man will give you all a chance to shed your mortal shell and embark on the true path to immortality!â
A second tremor rang through the âCity of Immortalsâ as the old manâs voice uttered that last sentence, before the gigantic face in the sky gradually vanished. The billowing dark clouds slowly receded, and the intense earthquake stopped as well, allowing the âCity of Immortalsâ to return back to its original atmosphere.
And yet, a deafening silence permeated the place as Bai Longtian and the others kept staring at the sky in a daze.
âTrial grounds? So this âCity of Immortalsâ is actually a sectâs trial grounds?â Bai Longtian could no longer conceal the shock in his heart after realizing the implications behind the old manâs words! No matter what, for a single sect to have created such an enormous place merely to test its new disciples was nothing short of unbelievable! At least as far as Bai Longtianâs imagination went, he couldnât fathom how terrifying of a power this Imperial Mandate sect must have been, to be able to create a place like this.
âImperial Mandate sect? I donât think I have heard of this name before!â Jiang Chen shook his head as he pondered the old manâs words as well. From what he could infer at least, Jiang Chen could tell that this âImperial Mandate sectâ certainly wasnât a native of the central continent and most likely came from somewhere deep in the âImmortal Dimensionâ. Otherwise, that old man wouldnât have called them âlittle brats of this mortal worldâ. And yet, although Jiang Chen wasnât a native of the âImmortal Dimensionâ, he possessed at least some rudimentary knowledge about most of the first-rate sects who ruled a region in the âImmortal Dimensionâ, but he had never heard the name Imperial Mandate sect before!
Unable to come to a conclusion, he eventually turned to Shun Long hoping for an answer.
And yet, to Jiang Chenâs and the othersâ surprise, Shun Long seemed to have fallen deep in his thoughts as well.
After a few moments of silence, Shun Long finally closed his eyes and let his consciousness slip into the foggy space inside the âStone of Timeâ before he asked curiously
âLittle Black, what do you think?â
Little Blackâs bright blue eyes resembled a deep, serene lake at this moment, as the black dragon answered calmly
âMaster doesnât need to think about this matter too much. After all, such practices are actually commonplace in the âImmortal Dimensionâ. There are endless mortal worlds out there, and this mortal world that master lives in is just one among many. Although the âImmortal Dimensionâ is extremely vast, itâs only natural for those sects who are always looking for talented disciples to search through these mortal worlds as well!
As for this Imperial Mandate sect, although I have never heard of that name before, judging from how long their trial ground has been around, they must be at least a second-rate sect in the âImmortal Dimensionâ!â
Shun Long nodded after hearing Little Blackâs assessment before he opened his eyes again. Indeed, most things seem to have fallen into place this way. The âDemon-fanged Cityâ, the âStone Muralâ, and the âIllusion Oasisâ, every single place that Shun Long and his group had visited so far, was always a trial followed by a reward, depending on how well one performed during the trial.
The more âDemon-fanged miceâ one hunted, the more rewards they could obtain from the city, and the longer one stayed in the âIllusion Oasisâ, the more âImmortal waterâ they could get their hands on in the end! As for the âStone Muralâ, that was a trial that purely depended on oneâs talent. Of course, Shun Long had no idea how many more trials the entire âCity of Immortalsâ had, but there were surely many, many more!
Besides, since this âCity of Immortalsâ was, in reality, the trial grounds of an immortal sect, Shun Long could finally guess why it was only Dao Kings and Dao Emperors who were allowed to enter inside!
With a deep breath, he then closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground as he emptied his mind. First, he was planning to complete his breakthrough and reach the peak of the sixth stage in body refinement, before paying a visit to that âHeavenly Towerâ!
