Cold winds rustled, drifting over the dense ancient forest outside the Graveyard of Gods and Ghosts, giving one a gloomy feeling. Just like those trial takers who had walked out of the Graveyard of Gods and Ghosts, almost all of their faces were pale, and their hearts were filled with lingering fear.
There were hundreds of trial takers from the Emperor Star who had entered the Graveyard of Gods and Ghosts, but only a measly 20 or so people had truly walked out. The rest had all died. This kind of result caused the hearts of some trial takers who were lucky enough to survive to tremble. Even a glance at that gloomy space caused them to involuntarily tremble, and their eyes were filled with fear.
"Is there a need for this, really …"
Jiang Xiaofan pursed his lips. Wasn't it just being chased by some ferocious beasts? What was the big deal? He had fought with the king level existences of the three great ancient clans in the depths of the Graveyard of Gods and Ghosts, and even faced peerless demons that far surpassed the Profound Immortal Realm head-on. If these people were in his place, wouldn't they be scared to death?
"What are you muttering about?"
Ye Yuanxue was beside him, and her beautiful brows furrowed.
"Nothing, just sighing with emotion."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
The Dao of cultivators was far from what ordinary people could imagine, and it was full of ups and downs and difficulties. Although he hadn't stepped into this realm for long, he clearly understood this principle, and since these trial takers dared to step into the Graveyard of Gods and Ghosts, he felt that they should have some kind of awareness. Now that they had encountered such a tribulation and had such an expression, he felt disappointed for them. These people were destined to never become experts.
"Pei, he's just a pervert, what is there to sigh about?"
Ye Yuanxue rolled her eyes.
Jiang Xiaofan:
He held back for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to spit out a sentence. "I'm not a pervert."
"Tch!"
Ye Yuanxue clearly didn't agree with this sentence, and directly ignored it.
The sky became a little brighter, and no more trial takers walked out of the Graveyard of Gods and Ghosts. Clearly, the others were all doomed. It was also at this time that the trial takers here began to leave one after another, returning to their own sects. Soon, this place became empty.
"Young Master Jiang, thank you. We won't forget your kindness."
A woman from the Ice Palace spoke, and everyone gathered around.
The Graveyard of Divine Ghosts was simply too dangerous. If it weren't for Jiang Xiaofan, it would have been impossible for them to have zero casualties. At the very least, many of them might have died in that mysterious ancient temple. Of course, this wasn't all because of Jiang Xiaofan. A large part of it was because of Bing Xin's existence.
"You're welcome. It's my duty."
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head, indicating that there was no need for that. In fact, he hadn't done anything.
Chen Yifeng stood where he was, with a faint smile on his face. He looked very refined, as if he had merged with the space around him. Qin Ra's eyes lit up. He directly pulled Jiang Xiaofan aside and started chatting with the girls. Jiang Xiaofan was speechless. He really wanted to send this guy flying with a kick. He was too shameless.
Almost all of the elders of the four sects had entered the Graveyard of Gods and Ghosts. Bing Xin and Ye Qiuyu walked to the side and spoke in private. Finally, Bing Xin bid her farewell and led the Ice Palace's women away, preparing to return to the Ice Palace.
This made Jiang Xiaofan gloomy. In any case, she should have said goodbye to him.
"That branch, thank you! Thank you! "
As if she felt Jiang Xiaofan's resentment, Bing Xin suddenly walked back. She stood in front of him and said in a low voice.
They had found a stalk of divine medicine in the depths of the ancient temple. Unfortunately, the divine medicine had gained sentience and had its own consciousness. It could even use some secret techniques. Even though their cultivation was strong, it was difficult for them to capture it. In the end, only Jiang Xiaofan broke off a branch of the divine medicine and gave it to Bing Xin.
"Uh, it's okay!"
Jiang Xiaofan was a bit stunned. He didn't expect Bing Xin to come back just to say this.
Bing Xin's expression was a bit strange, but she didn't say anything. In the end, she nodded at Ye Yuanxue and turned to leave. Soon, she disappeared into the distance.
"Let's go too."
Jiang Xiaofan said. There was almost no one left here.
Not long after, the group returned to the Imperial Heaven Gate and ascended their respective peaks. The next day, the Imperial Heaven Gate Master, Mental Cultivation Palace Master, and the others returned, completely announcing the end of the strongest trial. The barrier outside the Graveyard of Divine Ghosts was sealed again.
The strongest trial had ended, but the Emperor Star was in an uproar. The final results of this trial quickly spread throughout the cultivation world, leaving many cultivators dumbfounded. Their jaws almost fell off.
"In this strongest trial, it's said that most of the trial participants died. Is this true?"
"How could it be fake? Of course, it's all true. I heard that there was a change in that space, and even the masters of the four major sects were alarmed. They all rushed over personally and even brought a Supreme Immortal Artifact. Otherwise, probably no one would be able to walk out alive. All of them would have died inside."
"I suddenly feel that it's a blessing that I didn't participate in this year's strongest trial!"
The trial of the strongest was held once every ten years, so it was naturally a very eye-catching event. Therefore, after the trial ended, almost everywhere in the world of cultivation of Ziwei was talking about the trial. Everyone was paying attention to this matter. And after learning about the change in the Graveyard of Divine Ghosts, many young cultivators even rejoiced. They secretly thought that it was fortunate that they weren't chosen. Otherwise, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that they would have died inside.
"I heard that all the core disciples of Ziweijiao died in battle. This can't be true, right?"
"Of course it's true. It's said that even the Saint of this lineage died inside and couldn't walk out."
"Heavens, this …!"
Many cultivators were shocked and felt a chill run down their spines. Even some of the older generation experts were silent, their hearts shaken.
The strength of the Saint of Ziwei was well known. He had left behind an illustrious reputation among the younger generation of Ziwei Star. But now, he had died in the Graveyard of Divine Ghosts, which made many people shocked. Many cultivators had a new understanding of the Graveyard of Divine Ghosts. Although it was mysterious, it was extremely dangerous because even a figure like the Saint of Ziwei had died in battle inside.
The sky seemed a little dusky. Thick dark clouds quickly gathered. Oppressive sounds of thunder began to resound, giving people a very oppressive feeling. It was as if a huge storm was about to strike.
"Ah!"
The palace where Ziweijiao was located was like a forest of trees. The spiritual energy was abundant, and the celestial plants were tall and straight. It looked like a paradise on earth. It was a natural residence for cultivators to comprehend the Dao. However, on this day, in the most central palace of this place, an angry roar resounded through the void. It immediately shattered a large part of the sky, and the endless thick clouds instantly dispersed.
An old man with pure white hair and beard stood in the sky. A powerful aura spread out wave after wave. It was terrifying to the extreme. It was appalling. This was the supreme elder of Ziweijiao, and also the master of the Saint of Ziwei. At this moment, the eyes of this old man were cold and dense. The terrifying murderous aura startled even the people of Ziweijiao below him. They were somewhat terrified.
"Damn it!"
The angry roar that was filled with murderous aura spread far and wide. It shook the endless mountains to the point that some of the nearby cultivators were trembling with fear. And some of the birds and beasts in the mountain forest were so frightened that they directly lay on the ground. They were on tenterhooks.
From this day onwards, the discussion about Ziweijiao in Ziwei Star suddenly decreased by a lot. Even if there were people who couldn't help but talk about it, they would still scan the surroundings very cautiously. They were afraid that Ziweijiao's people were nearby. They were worried that if Ziweijiao's disciples heard it, it might bring about huge trouble. In fact, when people saw Ziweijiao's disciples in the future, they would take a detour, afraid that they would accidentally offend the sect.
Several days had passed since the trial of the strongest. The results of the four great sects were also clear.
The Ice Palace was in first place with zero casualties. The Imperial Heavenly Gate was in second place with one person dead. The second was the Purple Sun Sect, and the last was Ziweijiao. All of their core disciples were killed. This result was out of many people's expectations. It was because the difference from the previous trial of the strongest was too great. It was very difficult for people to accept it at first.
"Ziweijiao is really in for a tragedy this time, haha!"
On the Wuwei Peak of the Imperial Heavenly Gate, Tang You and Lin Quan were laughing loudly.
They did not take part in the trial of the strongest, but they immediately found out about everything that had happened in the Graveyard of Gods and Ghosts. It was because after Jiang Xiaofan returned to the Imperial Heavenly Gate, the two of them immediately surrounded him and kept asking about what had happened in the trial of the strongest. This gave Jiang Xiaofan a huge headache. He had originally wanted to go to the Fairy Peak to take a stroll, but in the end, his plans were ruined.
The starry sky still appeared resplendent and varied. At the top of the Wuwei Peak, Jiang Xiaofan sat down cross-legged. The Dao scriptures and Buddhist scriptures in his body circulated automatically. Even the starlight in the sky was drawn in, descending on their own and circling around him like wind.
"Let's go out for a walk …"
After an unknown period of time, Jiang Xiaofan stood up. Faint silver radiance filled his eyes, and a stream of light flashed outside his body. He instantly disappeared from where he was like a shooting star cutting across the sky. In an instant, he was far away, disappearing into the ends of the starry sky.
Peach Blossom Spring, a special place on the Emperor Star. Not only was it a place for practitioners to relax, it was also a huge trading place. Many practitioners would think of this place at the first moment when they needed something.
When the first ray of light shone on the ground, Jiang Xiaofan appeared outside the Peach Blossom Spring. He looked at the practitioners coming and going inside. He stopped in place for a moment, but in the end, he still walked in and headed straight in the southeast direction.
After passing through the crowd, about an hour later, a tall ancient tree appeared in front of him. Its branches were strong, and its body was withered. It was as if it would wither and die in the next moment.
"Immortal Ancient Peach Tree!"
Jiang Xiaofan muttered. His eyes flickered with faint essence.
He stepped into the Peach Blossom Spring again. He did not come to relax, but for this ancient tree.
A few months ago, he accompanied Ye Yuanxue and the others to this place to watch the immortal peaches bloom. It was also at that time, not only did he capture the pure essence of Dao here, he also heard the earth-shaking battle cries from the tree trunk. Even now, when he thought about it, he was still shocked. He had never forgotten it.
At that time, his cultivation was only at the Jue Chen Realm. It was far from being comparable to now. Now that he had reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Illusory God Realm, his Divine Sense was no longer the same as before. It was enough to compete with the powerhouses of the Mortal Emperor Realm. He returned here again, wanting to capture the mystical scenes he saw that day.
As his cultivation increased day by day, his understanding of the world became more and more profound. He also experienced more and more how terrifying those scenes were. He had an illusion that those scenes should be the real things that happened in the past. They were recorded in this immortal peach tree by some kind of special Dao. It must contain a shocking secret!
