Since the beginning of time, God's Trial rarely appears. Only when a heavenly treasure appears, or when a saintly cultivator breaks through, will God send down a God's Trial to stop them from breaking through.
Therefore, there is a saying in the Taoism community.
Cultivators who cannot trigger a God's Trial are not Heaven's Favorites. Cultivators who cannot survive a God's Trial are not Heaven's Favorites.
In other words, God's Trial is the most accurate way to measure a cultivator's potential. Of course, this method was used by the cultivators of the ancient times.
In today's declining World of Cultivators, there were very few cultivators who could trigger a Lightning Tribulation, let alone resist it head-on.
However, this saying was known to everyone and everyone believed it without a doubt!
Now, Ling Xian was undefeatable as he fought against the God's Trial. Though he was puking blood from the golden lightning and was extremely weak, he did not die. Instead, he made it through!
How inconceivable was that?!
Based on this alone, Ling Xian was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the most heaven-defying cultivators in history!
Everyone was in awe as they stared at the blood-soaked young man in midair. Their eyes were full of respect, as if they were looking at a God.
"Unbelievable. He survived the golden God's Trial. Master Ling is far too powerful!"
"What a dominating Master Ling. From today on, the title of Heaven's Favorite is undisputed!"
"That's right. Before, when people called Master Ling a Heaven's Favorite, they were mostly compliments. But after he survived the God's Trial, this title is now real."
"Yeah, since the ancient times, cultivators who have never survived a God's Trial are not Heaven's Favorites. Now that Master Ling has survived the God's Trial, he is truly a Heaven's Favorite."
Everyone chimed in, their voices full of envy.
It was true. Calling cultivators like the Demonic Fairy a Heaven's Favorite was merely a compliment and could not be taken seriously.
After all, the God's Trial was the only and most accurate way to measure one's abilities.
Cultivators who have never been tested by the God's Trial, no matter how strong they are, cannot be called a Heaven's Favorite. For example, the Demonic Fairy. Though she was the best of the younger generation, everyone knew that as long as she didn't survive the God's Trial, she could not be considered the best.
Now that Ling Xian had survived the God's Trial, and the God's Trial was stronger than normal lightning, he truly deserved the title of Heaven's Favorite!
"Ling Xian."
Staring at the blood-covered but heroic figure, Qin Yan Ge had a complicated expression on her face as she clenched her fists. Her limpid eyes were filled with admiration, unwillingness, and defeat.
She admitted that she couldn't withstand the Thunder Tribulation, especially the Heavenly Punishment that gave birth to golden lightning.
Therefore, when she saw Ling Xian successfully stop the God's Trial, she felt defeated.
"I thought I was a peerless Heaven's Favorite. But today, I realized that I was just a frog in a well."
Qin Yan Ge sighed softly, containing too many indescribable emotions.
"This is a true Heaven's Favorite. I wonder where this young man came from." Zi Dong Lai exclaimed, his stern face was full of shock.
However, he was a leader after all. Very quickly, he recollected himself and said to the Demonic Fairy, "Let's go. Let's go check on the Heaven's Favorite who will shock the 36 islands tomorrow and see if his injuries are serious or not."
Qin Yan Ge nodded. Then, together with Zi Dong Lai, they flew across the sky and landed on top of the mountain peak that was almost flattened by the God's Trial.
Seeing this, everyone made their moves and flew towards the mountain peak Ling Xian was on.
Without exception, they were all cultivators of the foundational level or above.
As for the descendants, they too wanted to come and admire Ling Xian's demeanor. However, they knew very well that they were not qualified enough.
Right now, Ling Xian was sitting in a lotus position, summoning spiritual energy from all directions to heal his body.
Feeling the approaching cultivators, he opened his eyes and stood up.
"Ehem, ehem …"
Ling Xian coughed twice. Fresh blood splashed onto the mountain rocks, leaving behind spots of red that were shocking to the eye.
It was obvious that he was heavily wounded.
However, his body remained tall and straight. Like a divine mountain, he stood between the heavens and the earth and would never bend down at all.
That kind of peerless grace was truly admirable.
"Ling Xian, how are you?" Zi Dong Lai landed on top of the mountain peak, unable to hide the concern on his face.
Ling Xian's heart warmed and he smiled, "It's okay. I won't die. I just need to rest."
"Hmm?"
Though Ling Xian's breathing was weak, his eyes were still shining brightly. Zi Dong Lai was uncertain. Not caring if he was being rude or not, he quickly used a special technique to inspect Ling Xian's body.
Though he was wounded all over, his spiritual energy was not damaged. This proved that his foundation was not damaged.
"Phew … what do you want me to say?" Zi Dong Lai was speechless. He slowly exhaled a mouthful of murky air, as if he was trying to let out all the shock in his chest.
Faced with the God's Trial, not only did he not die, but he also did not suffer from any incurable internal injuries. How heaven-defying was this?
The Demonic Fairy and everyone else looked at each other with a bitter smile, not knowing what to say.
Originally, these people had a stomach full of words of concern. But after seeing Ling Xian, they realized that they were useless.
Though Ling Xian still looked weak and heavily wounded, who here didn't have good eyesight? They could tell right away that he was not seriously injured.
"Thank you everyone for your concern." Ling Xian paid his respect and grinned at everyone.
As soon as his voice trailed off, everyone's chatterbox was opened. Every sentence of flattery that could make anyone feel refreshed flowed endlessly.
"Haha, I knew Master Ling would be fine. He is a Heaven's Favorite, there is no way he would be so heavily wounded."
"Yeah, not only did he survive the God's Trial, he did not suffer any serious internal injuries. Master Ling is far too powerful."
"Since the ancient times, only those who can withstand the God's Trial are the top Heaven's Favorites. Master Ling, without a doubt, is a dragon among men!"
"Yes, yes. Master Ling is extremely talented and capable. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best of his generation."
"What do you mean by the best of his generation? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best of his generation."
Everyone at the scene was full of compliments. Words of flattery rose one after another.
"Here we go again …"
Ling Xian silently sighed. On the surface, he had to act like he was enjoying it. After all, one does not slap a smiling face. Plus, people were complimenting him. He couldn't just pull a long face, could he?
Seeing Ling Xian's smile, everyone's compliments intensified. He didn't know how they had such thick skin to flatter him without even blushing or gasping for breath. They did it so naturally that everyone who heard them felt good.
However, Ling Xian did not have such thick skin. Even if these people were speaking the truth and did not exaggerate, he would still feel embarrassed. He quickly waved his hand and interrupted everyone, "Everyone, stop complimenting me. I have business to attend to."
Then, he no longer paid attention to everyone and shifted his gaze to the perfect Foundational Dan in the sky.
Though this Dan had been born, it was not truly complete. There was still one last step to go.
Dividing the Dan.
In other words, the fist-sized Dan was divided into many spiritual Dans.
Seeing this, everyone shifted their gaze to the perfect Dan. Immediately, greedy expressions appeared on their faces.
Everyone here was a knowledgeable cultivator. They recognized this Dan right away. It was the Foundational Dan that can help people break through to the foundational level. It was also a perfect Dan of the tenth rank!
This was a priceless treasure!
Though they couldn't say for sure that there was only one in the world, they were certain that there wouldn't be more than five of them.
How could they not be greedy?
However, they could only suppress their greed and didn't dare to express it.
Because the owner of this Dan was Ling Xian.
The heaven-defying monster who dared to challenge God's Trial!
Even if they had 100 guts, they wouldn't dare to steal Ling Xian's possessions!
What could they do? They had all deeply understood Ling Xian's capabilities. Other than Zi Dong Lai and the Demonic Fairy, nobody here could last one round against him.
"Divide!"
Ling Xian formed a hand seal and called out a technique to divide the Dan.
Immediately, the perfect Foundational Dan emitted a blinding amount of golden light that lit up the sky like it was daytime.
Then, a crack slowly appeared on the Dan.
Crack!
After a crisp sound, the Dan split into seven Dans the size of a dragon's eye.
In that instant, a dense aroma of Dan permeated the air. The aroma was refreshing and refreshing.
The seven Golden Dans floated in midair, exuding an infinite amount of heavenly light. There were no carvings on them, but they gave off the feeling that they were made by God and were flawless.
This was the perfect Dan!
Since it had reached the level of flawlessness, there was no need for carvings to prove it.
Staring at the perfect Foundational Dan in the sky, Ling Xian's lips curled up. An emotion called pride rose from his heart.
Any alchemist's goal is to brew a perfect Dan. He was no exception.
Now, at the age of 19, he had brewed a perfect Dan that countless alchemists could not achieve in their lifetime. Why wouldn't he be proud?
Very quickly, however, his pride turned into calmness and ambition.
He will not be satisfied with a perfect Dan of the eighth realm. He will climb to the peak and brew a seventh, sixth, or even a perfect Dan of the first realm!
"Master, I have brewed a perfect Foundational Dan. When you wake up, you will be happy." Ling Xian grinned.
This was something that could be predicted. Any alchemist in the world, after seeing their apprentice brew a perfect Dan, would feel happy and proud.
Even Liao Cang Qiong, the number two alchemist, was no exception.
"A perfect Foundational Dan …"
Everyone was in awe as their gazes heated up. Even Zi Dong Lai and the Demonic Fairy were the same.
Even though these people had reached the foundational level and had no use for this Dan, as a cultivator, who doesn't have a descendant or a disciple?
Even though they had no use for it, their descendants could!
Remember that this was not a Foundational Dan that contained poison. It was a perfect Foundational Dan that had no harmful effects on the human body!
Not only would it not harm a cultivator's natural talent, but it could also help them build a strong foundation and help them walk further on the path of cultivation!
The benefits of this were immense.
Therefore, everyone was looking at Ling Xian with a passionate gaze. It was only because they were not friends with him that they didn't dare to ask for it.
Seeing this, Ling Xian grinned. He knew what these people were thinking. However, this was a priceless treasure, why would he give it away so easily?
