Above all spirits

Chapter 98 Testing

"Power: A Thousand Transformations!"

Hongxiu let out a soft shout, realizing that relying solely on her physical body and the strength of a first-level mortal would ultimately make it too difficult to pass the second round of trials.

I was naive.

With a thought, soul power poured out, weaving and flowing through the body with complex patterns. Gradually, the body was enveloped by fire elements until it finally merged with the environment.

Instantly, waves of comfort washed over my entire body from all directions.

In stark contrast to their previous confrontational state, they seemed to be in perfect harmony.

Although in terms of overall power, even if it's just a part of it, Hongxiu has no way of learning it.

Even if Gu Yun passed on the power of mimicry to Hongxiu.

After all, Hongxiu was not a member of the Shadow Demon Clan.

However, it can still be done with the most basic elements, including fire.

In no time, Hongxiu quickened her pace and overtook one trainee after another.

It even ignores the scorching flames erupting from the ground.

Many viewers who were already following Hongxiu were now shifting from disappointment to excitement.

"I told you there was a backup plan! But you didn't believe me!"

"But what kind of technique is this? Did they cultivate some kind of fire-attribute cultivation method?"

"That must be it, otherwise why would it be charging around so recklessly!"

"But isn't she cultivating the Nine Revolutions Reverse Death Heart Sutra, which is rumored to be incompatible with fire-attribute cultivation techniques?"

"Just lucky, a coincidence?"

...

"Dean Han, what's your opinion?"

A handsome man dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared beside Han Tian at some point.

The combination of the golden robe and the mahogany fan seemed to make no attempt to conceal his identity.

This person is none other than Wan Xingchen.

After Wan Yujiao and Wan Changqing entered the field test, she came to Han Tian's side alone.

Originally, the plan was to first make contact with the demon envoy from the Ji family.

However, just as he was about to set off, the silver-armored guards on either side of him informed him that the aura emanating from Gu Yun was identical to that of Han Tian, ​​and warned Wan Xingchen not to act rashly.

This proves that Gu Yun is indeed not an ordinary demon. He is very likely to possess pseudo-innate strength as well. In the lower realm, those in high positions know that the peak of the Holy Body is not the pinnacle.

Above the Sacred Body lies the Innate Body, and those life forms that surpass the peak of the Sacred Body and remain in the lower realm by suppressing them are defined as Pseudo-Innate.

At the same time, Gu Yun conveyed another message directly to the outside world: He was dissuading anyone who wanted to approach him from doing so.

In other words, it can be seen that Gu Yun did not want to talk to Wan Xingchen.

After all, no one would go to the trouble of continuously releasing their aura for no reason; if they did, they must be sending some kind of signal.

Wan Xingchen wisely backed down; arguing with the demon was the most irrational and meaningless thing to do.

Han Tianle chuckled.

"What, even you're starting to pay attention to this child?"

"Or is it your father, the Emperor?"

Wan Xingchen said frankly.

"Of course it's my father, the emperor. I just came out of seclusion and broke through to the Holy Body."

"However, I am quite interested in the fact that she took the top spot on the leaderboard and even set a new record."

In front of Han Tian, ​​a cunning old fox who has weathered hundreds of years of storms, there is really no need to use high-sounding words to test him. Some things are more acceptable to both sides if they are spoken openly.

However, if you can show off, you should still do it a little.

Han Tian narrowed his eyes, looked Wan Xingchen up and down, and said with undisguised admiration.

"Indeed, he attained sainthood before the age of thirty, demonstrating a stable state of mind."

“From a young age, you have displayed an exceptional talent for cultivation that is one in a million, and so far there has been no sign of decline. Your father has raised you very well, and it is only a matter of time before you advance all the way to the peak of the Holy Body. It seems that he has spared no expense.”

Having received Han Tian's approval, Wan Xingchen was naturally quite pleased, after all, the man before him could be considered the second most powerful figure on Canglan Star.

It is not easy to gain his approval.

Even if you are the Crown Prince of the Canglan Empire, Han Tian will not praise you because of that identity.

It all comes down to one's own hard work and accumulation.

However, Han Tianfeng turned back and continued speaking.

“But even if you, at the same age, participated in the ladder test, I don’t think you could surpass this child. The ladder test is mainly about spirit and will, not talent.”

"Without the nascent form of imperial will, reaching the ninety-first floor is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Only in this respect does the name 'Ladder to Heaven' truly deserve its name."

Wan Xingchen was somewhat unconvinced after being given the cold water. His inherent pride did not allow him to bow his head in front of anyone or anything, even if he wanted to follow the etiquette of humility.

"If it were any other rudimentary form of imperial will, I would certainly approve of it. But the imperial will of life and death has been cultivated by countless people throughout history. Some have even advanced to the seventh level of reversing death, and their will of life and death has condensed to the peak of the royal level, but in the end, they have all disappeared without a trace."

"Transforming into imperial will is too difficult. I think it's too unrealistic to turn something that isn't yours into your own."

Although I know that Wan Xingchen's excuse is just a stubborn refusal to admit defeat, it's not a bad excuse.

To be honest, he wasn't optimistic that Hongxiu would eventually be able to gather the Emperor's will, even with a mysterious demon envoy pushing things from behind.

Maybe they just had a sudden whim?

Besides, what does a demon know about artistic conception?

"Dean Han, why is it that mortal will can be transformed into imperial will through trials and tribulations, while there has never been a case throughout history of imperial will being transformed into imperial will, not even a rumor of it? Is it really necessary to be born with it?"

Wan Xingchen spoke frankly about the thought that had arisen in his mind when he was contemplating Hongxiu's life and death.

Han Tian shook his head.

"I really don't know, because I have never experienced the true will of the Emperor."

"Hmm, Hongxiu's two soul techniques are quite peculiar. They seem to have changed her essence and concealed her aura. Those strange beasts didn't even notice her."

Following Han Tian's words, Wan Xingchen looked up at Hongxiu, who was steadily moving forward, passing through one fiery beast after another, and was equally surprised.

Although surprised, his thinking was very clear. It can be said that he truly deserves to be the crown prince from the royal family.

His eyesight is beyond that of ordinary people.

"If it's a soul technique, it must have been obtained through a contract with a demon. Otherwise, Ji Chang and the other Ji family descendants would not be unaware of it. This trip was truly worthwhile."

Knowing Hongxiu's information is equivalent to indirectly obtaining information about Gu Yun.

The only thing that could make the royal family take notice was this Gu Yun who appeared out of nowhere.

As for Hongxiu, let's not even talk about the fact that she is only at the first level of the mortal body. Even if she really achieves success in her cultivation later, it would not be surprising if she suddenly died one day. The Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra is just like that.

In the eyes of the royal family, Hongxiu was already half-dead. As for her current popularity, it was only temporary. So what if she was allowed to have a little more limelight? It was not a concern at all.
