Half a year had passed since the last demonic invasion. During this time, many immortals had still managed to escape to seek help, but nothing like a demonic invasion had ever happened. That was until one day, half a year later, when a loud noise suddenly echoed from the skies.
"The first trial has ended.
"The first trial has ended. More than seven million people participated in the trial, and more than six hundred thousand people passed!"
His voice reverberated throughout the trial grounds. Every immortal in every corner of the trial could hear him clearly!
"Could it be that over six million immortals have died in this demonic invasion? Isn't this trial a little too cruel? "
Reverend Redflame's eyes showed a hint of disbelief.
Longevity Old Man took a look at the Trial Stele and said, "There are indeed fewer names on it. There were around a million before, but now there are only a few hundred thousand left. The rest must have all died in this calamity!"
"Such a trial … they really don't take humans seriously!"
The Extreme Monarch Patriarch shook his head.
Qi Ye began to understand why Ning Qi would call the Tiandao Clan a clan of villains. From this point alone, one could see the ruthlessness of the Tiandao Clan. It was a world of difference from those righteous and awe-inspiring immortal dao sects. It was just like the actions of the devil path!
"Since the first trial has ended, I'm afraid it won't be long before the second trial begins …"
Venerable Wen Xin sighed.
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of beams of white light descended from the skies, instantly enveloping everyone in the valley. In the blink of an eye, everyone had disappeared.
… …
This was a long river that had no end in sight. The waves slapped against the shore and made splashing sounds. Above the long river, dense fog appeared, giving people a feeling that it was a fairyland!
"Where are we?" Thousands of immortals looked at each other by the river. Some of them were merely Heavenly Immortals, some were Golden Immortals, and some were Grand Luo. There were even a few Mystic Immortals. Before this, they did not know each other, as if the immortals from different places had suddenly gathered together!
Ning Qi looked around.
Ning Qi looked up. Apart from the hordes of strangers, he also found Qi Ye, Master Wen Xin, Venerable Redflame, Grand Monarch, and a dozen other Grand Luo he was familiar with. However, none of the other Grand Luo who lived in the valley were present!
"Brother Ning, Monk Wen Xin, I'm afraid that this is the second trial. I wonder what kind of rotten idea the Heavenly Dao Clan will come up with."
Everyone immediately gathered together. Venerable Scarlet Flame looked around and spoke in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.
"Silence!" Shouted the Extreme Monarch Forefather. Everyone was startled. They followed his gaze and saw an immortal in a light blue robe standing not too far away. There was a special symbol on the immortal's body. It looked like the word "Jiang"! But it was different from the strokes of today.
The character 'Jiang' was more simple and unadorned, giving off a mysterious aura.
"To be able to survive the first stage of the trial, the Devil Calamity, I presume that you are all elites. However, if you want to become a disciple of our Tiandao Clan, this is far from enough. In the Immortal World, you might be elites, but in the Tiandao Clan, you are still just a nobody!"
The green-robed Immortal said calmly. His voice seemed to be very soft, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
The Immortals, who were already somewhat bewildered, all looked at him when they heard his voice. The few Profound Immortals present exchanged glances with each other with a trace of solemnity in their eyes.
"The first stage of the trial, Devil Calamity? Could he be … "
"May I ask who you are, Senior?"
The Xuan Immortals cupped their fists and said solemnly. The green robed immortal glanced at the crowd indifferently. He didn't even look at the Xuan immortals. Instead, he said to the crowd, "You don't have the right to know my name right now. Once you pass the second trial, I will tell you. For now, all you need to know is that I'm from the Tiandao Clan, the Jiang Clan.
Disciple. "
The crowd looked at each other. Although they felt that the green robed immortal's words were a little arrogant, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction.
They were suddenly brought here and had been here for so many years. They had long been fearful of the existence behind this place. The three words' Heavenly Dao Clan 'had been very low-key in the Immortal World in recent years. They had appeared very few times, but that didn't mean that no one knew about them. As time passed, the majority of the Immortals came to understand that these three words represented a group of hidden Immortal Clans. Furthermore, they were extremely powerful.
Some people guessed that even the Lang Ya Immortal Emperor couldn't go against the Tiandao Clan. They were puppets that the Tiandao Clan had placed in the Immortal World!
"Senior, may I ask what the second trial is about?"
A Profound Immortal asked. "This river is called the Cultivation Heart River. It doesn't matter if you are an Immortal Emperor or a Human Immortal. Once you enter the Cultivation Heart River, you will become a mortal. This is because the Cultivation Heart River can see through your true nature. In this river, your cultivation is useless. Everyone has the same starting point. If you can swim across this river alive, you will be considered as a Human Immortal.
I passed the second test. "
The green robed immortal said calmly.
"What? Even an Immortal Emperor will become a mortal after entering this river? "
"There's such a river in this world …"
"Unbelievable!"
"Is he lying to us? Did he just set up some kind of restriction spell to suppress our cultivation?"
The Immortals were shocked and in disbelief. Some even suspected that the green robed immortal was lying to them and exaggerating!
"The other trials should have started already. Don't waste any more time. Enter the river! If you're still on the shore after ten breaths, it means that you're as timid as a mouse. There's no point in living. I'll personally send you on your way. "
The green robed immortal said calmly.
"Yes, senior!"
A few Profound Immortals were the most decisive. They looked at each other and entered the Cultivation Heart River. The others wanted to see what was going on, but they were shrouded in mist the moment they entered the river. They couldn't see them at all.
"Only after entering the Cultivation Heart River will you be able to see the people in it."
The green robed immortal said calmly.
He paused. "Eight breaths left."
Everyone looked at each other. Many gritted their teeth and entered the Cultivation Heart River.
"Big Brother Bei Xuan, what about us?"
Qi Ye looked at Ning Qi. He felt that since the Tiandao Clan was a lowly clan, there was no need for them to accept their trial. They could leave boldly. As for the green robed immortal, Qi Ye didn't think he was Ning Qi's match at all!
Qi Ye thought too highly of Ning Qi. Ning Qi had already checked the green robed immortal's attributes and knew that his name was Jiang Haitao. He was an early-stage Immortal Lord. Even if he used all his trump cards and joined forces with Ning Yi, they still wouldn't be a match for him.
