An uneven road.
On both sides were towering stone platforms. Behind the stone platforms were five endless paths that led straight to the sky. They slowly separated.
The main road leads to the heavens, and one can ascend to immortality!
At the end of the Path of Immortal Ascension was the Five Great Sects …
As the test was over, the elders of the five major sects landed and removed the sealing formation on the stone platform with a wave of their hands.
"The five paths lead to the final side training grounds of the five major sects. Everyone must try their best to obtain the stone key in the secret cave. Otherwise, even if you reach the end, you will not be able to enter the five major sects."
"The Five Great Sects are recruiting a total of 200 disciples on this Path of Immortal Ascension. Everyone, let's go."
…
After the elders casually explained the rules, everyone impatiently walked to the main road behind the stone platform.
Long Chen was followed by dozens of people from the Black Dragon Empire.
Just as they walked past the stone platform and entered the Road of Immortal Ascension, the elders of the Godly Knife Gate and the Tong Bi Gate gave them a deep look and sneered.
After the crowd had left, the elders and disciples of the five great sects also walked into the Path of Immortality. Then, they disappeared into the forest on both sides.
The Elder of the Godly Saber Sect stared at the backs of Long Chen's group from afar and said to the few youths beside him, "Go and tell everyone to kill as many disciples of the Black Dragon Empire as possible. Anyone who can take down Long Chen's head will have three qualifications to enter our Godly Saber Sect …"
The young man nodded and didn't seem to care. He replied, "There's no need for that. Once we enter the depths of the Road of Immortality, we can easily find one or two people and kill them without anyone noticing."
The elder shook his head and said, "There are other elders and disciples from the other three sects observing the Path of Immortal Ascension. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't make a move. Even if you want to make a move, it is best to wait until the second half of the Path of Immortal Ascension."
…
After crossing the Path of Immortality for ten thousand meters, the mountain path beneath their feet gradually disappeared and was replaced by a wilderness of woods. Layers of undulating mountain ranges also gradually appeared.
"Mr. Long Chen, these five paths lead to different sects, and each sect has different test missions according to their characteristics. Which sect do you intend to go to?"
The Black Dragon Empire's disciple asked after Long Chen.
"Needless to say, Mr. Long Chen's swordsmanship is superb, so he must be from the Wanjian Sect. Moreover, the Wanjian Sect is the head of the five major sects, so it is naturally the best place to go."
Everyone nodded. Only Long Chen shook his head and said, "My goal is the Hundred Smelting Clan. If you are willing to follow me, I will naturally take care of you. Of course, if you have other choices, I will not stop you."
Hundred Smelting Clan?
Long Chen's words caused many of the Black Dragon Empire's disciples to be stunned. Among them, a few of those with higher cultivations revealed puzzled expressions.
The Hundred Smelting Clan was ranked at the bottom of the Five Major Sects. Of course, if that was all there was to it, it would be fine. However, the core of the Hundred Smelting Clan was the place where the Five Major Sects refined talismans, refined pills, and so on. In their eyes, it was the last place to go.
Among them, a few people with higher cultivations looked at each other. In the end, they chose to cup their fists in front of Long Chen and walk in the direction of the Wanjian Sect.
Some of them walked in the direction of the three major sects. Only a small number of people with lower cultivations chose to stay behind Long Chen.
Long Chen slightly shook his head. These people's choice of the Wanjian Sect was understandable. However, he was afraid that among them, only two or three people could pass the Immortal Path and enter the Wanjian Sect.
Long Chen had walked the Immortal Path in his previous life, so he was very familiar with it.
The most difficult part of the Immortal Path was the second half of the journey.
In the first half of the journey, everyone was walking in the same direction. Moreover, everyone was walking in groups. Their goal was to find the secret cave and seize the task item, the stone key.
However, in the second half of the journey, everyone would be separated. People of different paths would start to fight openly and covertly for the quota of sects. They would even start to fight.
As for the last part of the journey, it was incomparably tragic. Everyone would meet again. Because of the number of task items, a chaotic battle would break out.
That battle was the most frightening part of the entire Immortal Path.
"Mister Long Chen, our cultivations are not high. The requirements of the Hundred Smelting Sect are also relatively low. We are willing to follow you. Please take care of us." The remaining people respectfully said to Long Chen.
Long Chen nodded and motioned for everyone to continue forward.
"Pay attention to finding the secret cave. Although there are demonic beasts guarding the secret cave, there are also stone keys. The path we are walking in is slightly closer to the Hundred Smelting Sect. There should be talismans, pills, and the like. It will be very beneficial for the later battles."
As everyone went deeper into the mountain range, the surroundings gradually became less spacious. Everyone could only determine the general direction and continue forward.
"There. There are demonic beasts' feces in front of us. As long as we follow it, there will definitely be a secret cave." One of the youths was quite thoughtful. He quickly found traces of the secret cave.
Long Chen nodded and everyone followed him.
Sure enough, not long after, they saw a medium-sized stone mountain. There was a dark cave near the stone mountain. Waves of foul odor came from the cave. Occasionally, low growls could be heard.
Hmm?
Long Chen was just about to speak when he spread out his divine sense. His brows furrowed and his face gradually became gloomy.
He saw that there were two groups of people rapidly approaching them from the north and the south.
These people all had ruthless expressions and the corners of their mouths curled up. They definitely did not come for the demonic beasts here.
"Someone can't help but make a move so quickly?" Long Chen muttered to himself.
He knew Qing Yun Zi's strength in the five great sects. Qin Feng's death would definitely bring countless disasters to the Black Dragon Empire. Moreover, Qing Yun Zi had once said that as long as Qin Feng did not become the emperor of the Black Dragon Empire, he would return to being the one who would not be able to pass the Path of Immortality in the Black Dragon Empire.
It seemed that these words were true. Long Chen sneered. In his previous life, he had suffered many losses at the hands of Qing Yun Zi. It seemed that in this life, it would be the same.
"Don't act rashly. We have guests coming …" Long Chen said indifferently.
Everyone was bewildered, but they were still vigilant.
In less than ten breaths, nearly twenty people came from the north and south.
"Is there anyone called Long Chen among you?" The leader on the left stared at Long Chen and the others and asked coldly.
The people on the other side were also eyeing covetously. They seemed to be ready to attack at any time.
Long Chen's expression did not change. He said indifferently, "I am Long Chen. Do you have any advice for me?"
When they heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. They smiled and said, "It seems that we are lucky. Rumor has it that you have the cultivation of the third on the Heaven List. Today, we want to see if it is true or not …"
"What third place on the Heaven Ranking? I think it's just an undeserved reputation. More than ten people from the Great Qian Empire were killed in a single day. How strong can the Heaven Ranking be?" The person behind him sneered.
