As a glorious guardian of the forbidden area, Bai Zhong's duty was to protect the forbidden area and maintain its normal operation, making it an inviolable sacred domain in the school.
In the past, he had always been able to do his job very well. However, the Immortal Spirit Tower trial had been very unpredictable.
The sheer power of An Lin and Xu Xiaolan was proof that there was a major flaw in the Immortal Spirit Tower trial system. Xuanyuan Cheng's act of releasing Shu Yu from purgatory was further proof that the Immortal Spirit Tower was far too lacking in humanized management …
Bai Zhong's heart felt very tired. Then, he felt a sense of bravery after knowing his shame. Perhaps he should look at these students with gratitude. These students were the ones who had pointed out the shortcomings of the Immortal Spirit Tower with the naked truth.
Liu Qianhuan had already defeated her opponent on the eighty-seventh level and obtained the Celestial Immortal's Star-Shattering Hand.
Bai Zhong appeared before Liu Qianhuan and offered sincere congratulations.
She was only at the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage, but she had already passed level eighty-seven. This was definitely the first time in the history of the Immortal Spirit Tower that someone had done so, and this was a testament to how powerful this woman was.
Liu Qianhuan pondered for a moment before choosing the ninety-first level.
Bai Zhong didn't want to interfere, but he couldn't help but grimace at the sight of Liu Qianhuan's badge, and he began to persuade her patiently. He said that one should be down-to-earth when doing things and not bite off more than one can chew. It was already very impressive for a Half-Step Soul Formation cultivator to pass through level 87. From now on, the correct choice would be to continue going through the levels and obtain two more inheritances.
However, Liu Qianhuan immediately waved her hands and told him not to meddle in the affairs of young people. Everyone was an individual with their own ideas and dreams. There was a generation gap between the elderly and the young. Too much interference would harm them, so it was better to let them make their own choices.
"The frog in the well cannot speak to the sea, because it is confined to the void. The summer insect cannot speak to the ice, because it is confined to the time. The song scholar cannot speak to the Dao, because it is confined to the teachings. Senior Bai Zhong, I'm not insulting you; I just can't think of a better way to express my feelings, so I'm using this as a general explanation for the generation gap... "
Liu Qianhuan was still going on and on, and Bai Zhong was almost completely dumbstruck by her lecture.
Was this a curse? This must be a curse, right?
Shouldn't he be the one lecturing Liu Qianhuan? Why was it Liu Qianhuan lecturing him instead?
I can't afford to offend them, I can't afford to offend them. None of these people are easy to deal with!
Bai Zhong immediately teleported Liu Qianhuan to the ninety-first level, but he was still mulling over Liu Qianhuan's words. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sad.
On the 86th level, a pure white sword slashed through the void, slicing a man shrouded in black mist in half. Boundless Holy Vermilion Flames of the Holy Vermilion Bird were imbued within the sword projection, incinerating the void and reducing the body to ashes.
"Very good. Xu Xiaolan, you have successfully defeated me. Next, I will give you the inheritance of the Sky Poison Mist!" A man's shadow appeared in the void again and said coldly.
Xu Xiaolan took a couple of steps back with a conflicted and awkward look on her face. "Senior Ling Hujun, c-can I refuse?"
Ling Hujun's pupils contracted as an expression of incredulity appeared on his face. "You're going to refuse my inheritance?"
Xu Xiaolan nodded with a determined expression on her face. "It's actually like this. My bloodline primarily revolves around fire and lightning, which are the bane of all Sky Poison Mist. As such, there's no way for the two powers to fuse together. Even if I were to obtain the inheritance, it would be very difficult for me to master it …"
Ling Hujun's body swayed slightly, and his heart suddenly throbbed with pain.
That seemed to be the case, but he was a high and mighty Celestial Immortal in his past life. Countless people begged him for guidance, but now, someone was rejecting his inheritance? Did he not care about his pride?!
Bai Zhong hurriedly appeared on the 86th level upon sensing the Celestial Immortal's violent emotional fluctuations.
"Congratulations to Xu Xiaolan for passing the trial on the 86th level," Bai Zhong announced with a smile.
"Thank you. Um, Senior Ling Hujun, I'm really sorry." Xu Xiaolan bowed in apology again.
Bai Zhong wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead as he tried to smooth things over. "You don't have any affinity with Senior Ling Hujun, so there's nothing you can do about it. Senior Ling Hujun is a magnanimous person, so he won't hold it against you."
Ling Hujun's expression eased slightly as he turned to Bai Zhong. "I naturally won't hold it against you, my little friend. It's just that some people don't give their trial-takers some sort of direction to choose from, right? What kind of trial is there, what kind of inheritance is there, and you can't even make such a simple match … hmph! "
Ling Hujun's figure slowly disappeared, leaving behind a dumbstruck Bai Zhong.
Was I being scolded? Bai Zhong felt as if he was about to throw up a mouthful of blood. So this was all his fault?
He had wanted to give Xu Xiaolan a good lecture, but he had no choice but to swallow his words now.
An awkward smile appeared on Bai Zhong's face as he pulled out his badge. "Now, you can choose the next level."
Xu Xiaolan looked at the badge and pondered for a moment before picking up the number ninety-five.
Bai Zhong's face convulsed, and he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
Xu Xiaolan was only at the Soul Formation Initial Stage, but Wang Xuanzhan was also at the Soul Formation Initial Stage. Even he was defeated on the ninety-fourth level, so how could Xu Xiaolan be more powerful than Wang Xuanzhan? She still had two more chances, so why was she being so impulsive?!
In the end, he gave up on trying to dissuade her.
So be it. Letting his student fail once and suffer some setbacks would also be beneficial to her growth.
Xu Xiaolan went to the ninety-fourth level. At this moment, Su Qianyun also successfully passed through the eighty-first level.
Su Qianyun received the inheritance of the Swift Water Steps, and she was elated to see Bai Zhong choose the eighty-third level.
Bai Zhong was extremely relieved to see this, and he was almost moved to tears. He had finally met someone who was on the same wavelength as him!
Su Qianyun really didn't have any ambitions or goals. All she wanted to do was collect inheritances in a safe and secure manner. Every inheritance she could obtain would be one more reward, and she would go as far as she could with a happy heart. She didn't even think about challenging levels that were too powerful.
On the ninety-first level, sword intent swept through the entire space, and frost and snow covered the entire space.
A Celestial Immortal wielded a jade-green longsword, and his sword projection rippled through the air in a peerlessly intricate manner, leaving a series of dazzling trajectories in the air. The Dao intent imbued within the sword projection was like dripping water piercing through rocks, and it even tore a series of cracks into the domain of extreme frost. Liu Qianhuan was completely suppressed.
She held a frosty longsword that was materialized from water vapor in her hand, and she was completely unable to find an opportunity to retaliate in the face of the boundless jade-green sword projections.
"Exceptional Sword Immortal potential, Ancient Sword Dao Physique, and perfected domain intent realm. Why aren't you at the Soul Formation Stage?"
The man wielding the jade-green longsword turned his body, and the Dao intent of the Water Drop fell along with his longsword. The sword projection was imbued with terrifying penetrative power, and it instantly pierced through Liu Qianhuan's domain of extreme frost before striking her body.
Liu Qianhuan's body tumbled to the ground as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, and she panted heavily.
"Then why don't you dare to take that final step? What kind of obsession has made you stop in your tracks? "The man made his way toward Liu Qianhuan with a perplexed expression on his face.
"If you're going to fight, then fight. What's with all the nonsense?" Liu Qianhuan gritted her teeth as she stood up and pointed her frosty longsword at the approaching man. Her slender figure stood tall and firm, and her aura was intimidating and frosty, as if she were a peerless divine sword herself.
"In the dao of the sword, one can become an immortal through obsession. If you can't do that, then why don't you use your own sword to completely sever it? I'm sure you can do that as well, right? "The man ignored Liu Qianhuan's scolding and spoke in an unhurried manner.
Liu Qianhuan's body trembled upon hearing this, and she stood rooted to the spot in a daze.
Sometimes, when one was lost in a daze, one sentence from someone with a discerning eye would be enough to wake them up.
Perhaps she had thought of this method before, but her subconscious mind would automatically ignore it.
But now, a person had appeared, rudely parted the dark clouds above her head, and pointed out an extremely obvious path. She had no choice but to consider it …
After a few seconds, a sweet smile appeared on Liu Qianhuan's face. "Alright, since you've said that, then I'll make a breakthrough for you to see!"
