Chapter 430: Chapter 443: The Ultimate Test
"Come and fight."
Mu Can didn’t mind dealing with Donghuang on a whim. He used to consider Donghuang his arch-enemy, but after encountering those foes within the Heavenly Pillar, especially after facing the Beidou Divine Sovereign, Donghuang was nothing to him.
"Wang! Right, beat that son of a turtle to death." Wang Cai loved chaos, always aligning with Mu Can. He had always despised Donghuang’s arrogant demeanor, acting as if he were number one in the world.
Seeing that the two were about to clash, Dongfeng Shuo and a few others stepped forward to dissuade them.
"Give this old man some face, if you want to fight, do it after we get out of here," Dongfeng Shuo spoke up.
Even though there were probably those who wished to see Mu Can and Donghuang fight, they were still within Tongshen Mountain, and who knew if they would encounter problems that couldn’t be resolved, so everyone tried to stop them.
"You’re lucky this time; next time you won’t be so fortunate," Mu Can glanced at Donghuang, disdainfully speaking.
If it weren’t for the crowd holding him back, he would have taken his revenge today.
"Humph!" Donghuang snorted coldly, without retorting, but he continuously pondered Mu Can’s strength in his heart.
It seems Mu Can must have obtained a huge advantage just now, otherwise, how could he dare to challenge me? Donghuang thought to himself.
In his view, if Mu Can’s strength hadn’t surged tremendously, he surely wouldn’t have the courage to confront him.
Moreover, the lotus that appeared on Mu Can’s fingertip earlier had put immense pressure on him. He simulated the scenario several times in his Sea of Consciousness, but could not find a way to remain unscathed when faced with the lotus; not getting hurt seemed nearly impossible.
"Damn, where did this guy learn such terrifying moves," Donghuang cursed silently in his heart. He had just begun battling in the Heavenly Pillar Space when the subsequent pillars started breaking one by one, and the last Heavenly Pillar even disappeared entirely. He might have said he gained nothing from it.
If the Artifact Spirit hadn’t told him he could also participate in the final trial, Donghuang would have gone mad.
"Have you all passed too?" Mu Can was surprised. How come he and this group got teleported together? frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Uh-huh. Don’t know why, but the pillars all shattered and disappeared, and in the end, it was considered that we all passed," Dongfeng Shuo spoke up.
Amongst these people, Dongfeng Shuo had the closest relationship with Mu Can.
"Eh? Did all of your pillars shatter and disappear too?" The brawny man with an axe scratched his head and asked.
He had thought he was the one causing the damage, as each pillar shattered whenever he laid his hands on them.
After discussing it, they realized that everyone faced the same outcome with the Heavenly Pillars in their trial spaces.
"Wang! If these people knew you broke all the pillars, they’d probably gang up to thrash you," Wang Cai was back in the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer, currently standing in front of the Ninth Heavenly Pillar and contemplating strategies.
"Heheh, can’t say, can’t say," of course, Mu Can wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal it was his doing.
"However, what the Artifact Spirit said must be true. Otherwise, it wouldn’t count as all these people passing. Speaking of which, these people are all riding your coattails. Otherwise, with their strength, they might not even get past the sixth Heavenly Pillar," Wang Cai said with a smile.
"But they probably don’t have the key," Mu Can guessed.
...
The final challenge – this is the place holding the ultimate secret of Tongshen Mountain.
Since the establishment of Tongshen Mountain, very few people have reached this place.
However, this time, five figures appeared here together.
This was the first time since the establishment of Tongshen Mountain.
"Is this the place?" At the peak of Tongshen Mountain, after much effort, they finally climbed up.
The journey was far from easy. The winding mountain path was filled with endless pressure. Under such pressure, Spiritual Power became thick and sticky, hardly operable. They had no choice but to rely on their physical strength to counter it, which made them experience the feeling of being ordinary people once again.
"Look around you." The low-profile man exclaimed in surprise after reaching the peak and taking a glance around.
Tongshen Mountain was already hidden within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, and within the Secret Realm, Tongshen Mountain had its own Secret Realm. Usually, Tongshen Mountain was concealed, only revealing itself to the world during certain times.
"So beautiful!" Mu Can also couldn’t help but sigh.
Here, Tongshen Mountain resembled a peak piercing straight into the clouds, and at this moment, they were at the very top of this peak. During the climb, the scenery besides the steep path twisting upwards was mostly shrouded in mist.
But now, Mu Can truly felt the sensation of "being at a high pinnacle and looking down upon all other mountains."
Standing atop the peak, looking at the star-lit sky surrounding the mountain, stars twinkled mischievously as if the mountain itself had reached into the starry sky.
"Something is not right; these stars seem to be arranged in some pattern."
Perhaps it was because he had seen Wang Cai setting up arrays enough times, Mu Can keenly felt these stars seemed to form a Big Formation.
"So that’s how it is." Wang Cai in the Reincarnation Pearl stopped studying the Ninth Heavenly Pillar and instead, observed the outer starry sky with Mu Can.
"You guessed right. No wonder the Artifact Spirit could move us around at will. Look, the stars in the sky form a Big Formation that completely envelops Tongshen Mountain, and teleportation is just one of its functions. Who came up with this? This is incredible," Mu Can first heard Wang Cai praising someone else’s array formation skills so highly.
"Can it be replicated?" Mu Can was unconcerned with anything else. If this formation could be replicated, he would definitely find a way to copy this Big Formation somewhere else.
If a Sect had such a protective mountain Big Formation, it would be considered top-notch in both convenience and security.
"I’ve memorized it," Wang Cai said.
...
"You are all brave Warriors who have passed the trials, so now, the final challenge shall begin."
It was the familiar formula and the same taste, as a series of Transmission Arrays once again separated the five individuals.
"Can we stop with the teleporting?" Mu Can complained.
Just say what you need to say. He had used the Transmission Array more times these past few days than ever before in his life.
"Congratulations, the ultimate challenge does not require any fighting. Relax a bit."
After being teleported to a new space, Mu Can found himself sitting in a chair, with a middle-aged man facing him.
