Chapter 6114: Snatching
However, because of this trial, more prodigies would rise. There would also be many such super prodigies.
The first three years of the trial were the most intense.
However, the viewing pleasure was relatively low.
It seemed intense, yet it was also quite inferior.
There was nothing particularly eye-catching.
Jian Wushuang spread his thoughts but already had a goal in mind.
He also had people he favored.
Besides Shen Jian and Ji Tang, there were a few young ones who used swords, all with very good talent.
They were much stronger than he had been during his time in the Yan Immortal stage. Some even had cultivated the Ultimate Path to the Great Achievement stage, comparable to ordinary Dao Masters.
Among the top group, Jian Wushuang only had his eyes on one person.
A young girl who had mastered the Moon Sword.
She had already defeated millions of Yan Immortals.
Securing a spot in the top thousand was a certainty.
Though on average, one only needed to collect a million tokens to enter the top thousand.
But among these Yan Immortals, even the weakest were elites in the outside world, many being prodigies in their respective realms or universes. How could they stop just because they had enough tokens?
Moreover, before entering the trial, the ancestors of their families or the elders of their sects had given clear instructions.
Collecting tokens was only the first step.
The most crucial part was to be impressive.
To make those bigwigs on the viewing platform remember them.
That was considered a success.
“Tsk tsk, Wan Shan, who is currently ranked first, has already collected ten million tokens. Now, among the tens of thousands of surviving trial participants in this cave heaven, the number is nearing a thousand. Do you think he can collect over a hundred million tokens in the end?”
Zhen Ling, seeing that everyone was a bit bored, started talking about the strongest participant in this trial.
In the eyes of Jian Wushuang and others, Wan Shan’s performance was not particularly impressive, because Wan Shan had already cultivated his Ultimate Dao to the Great Achievement stage.
Although he was a Yan Immortal, his Dao was very close to that of a Dao Master.
At such a level, dealing with those trial participants who had just mastered the Ultimate Path was like crushing them.
Collecting over a hundred million tokens would not be difficult for Wan Shan!
The difficult part was how to hunt down those trial participants who were running away. “His strength is indeed good. As long as he has enough time, he can collect over a hundred million tokens. However, his Dao is somewhat special. It is said to be the Ultimate Path, but it lacks that kind of cohesion. Instead, it’s very similar to Wanxing back then. All paths are open, and it’s steadier than Wanxing back then. He takes one step at a time, moves fast, and walks steadily!”
Wu Zuo commented indifferently. Although Wan Shan’s strength was good, he was not suitable for him.
In their eyes, being fast and steady was only the foundation.
What they truly sought was a pure heart.
For instance, that Ji Ye of the Ji family, whose strength could only rank in the top twenty among the trial participants.
But her Dao Heart was extremely complete. Even as a Yan Immortal, she could maintain her original intention, unaffected by the outside world.
Many people cast admiring glances at this prodigy of the Ji family.
Jian Wushuang did the same, but unfortunately, her sword was not the same as his Dao.
If he had to choose, it would still depend on the pursuit of Dao.
Otherwise, taking her under his wing would be a waste of her talent.
“Brother Wu Zuo, speaking of which, this Wan Shan is quite suitable to be under my tutelage!” Shang smiled upon hearing this. His cultivation was also steady and firm.
He was once the first Ultimate Emperor of the Primordial Universe and the first Tribulation Realm and Universe Master of the entire lower spacetime.
He walked fast, and he walked steadily.
That described him.
Although now surpassed by Jian Wushuang and others.
But over the years, his strength had gradually approached that of Wu Zuo and others.
The distance to the Eighth Tribulation was not far.
He had never stopped.
This also made Wu Zuo and others feel some tension.
Those who went to the upper level spacetimes had all received the inheritance or bestowed opportunities from the Realm Kings, far beyond what Shang could compare with. Yet now, Shang was gradually catching up.
It was like fulfilling Wu Zuo’s words back then.
Those who went to the upper spacetime were not as good as Shang, who was guarding Qishen Temple. Saying it out loud would be shameful.
Now, Shang was the first to actively extend an olive branch to the trial participants.
Everyone else no longer held back.
They all revealed their favored candidates.
Although it was not yet time to choose, they were already arguing heatedly.
All fighting for people.
Even Hu Qing, who was usually honest and mild-tempered, was flushed and arguing
intensely.
Because this time, he also had a favored candidate.
It was a Golden Body Arhat from the Tongtian Buddhist Realm.
Although the current Tongtian Buddhist Realm no longer had the Tongtian Buddha.
But the Wuliang Buddha of the past had become the Universe Master of the Fifth Tribulation
realm.
He was now the First Buddha Lord of the Tongtian Buddhist Realm.
Hu Qing followed the Heavenly Dao and only retained his Buddha body.
Tongtian Buddha transformed into the Wutian Demon Lord.
In the end, it was still the Wuliang Buddha who won.
He won the Tongtian Buddhist Realm and also won over the Tongtian Buddha.
“This Arhat is not following the Heavenly Dao, and his temper is not that great. He keeps
talking about the World Honored Ksitigarbha. He’s not on the same path as you. Why not let
me have him!”
The one competing with Hu Qing was Wutian.
He believed that the Golden Body Arhat had a demonic seed in his heart.
More suitable for falling into the Nether Hell.
Hu Qing took a deep breath and stood firm, resolutely saying, “He will choose me. The demon
can be removed.”
This remark left Wutian speechless.
In reality, at their level, there was no longer a distinction between good and evil.
Everyone argued for a long time.
They couldn’t come to a conclusion, and in the end, it still depended on how those trial
participants would choose.
So, they stopped arguing and began to ponder how to tackle the problem effectively. “Hmm?” Wu Zuo turned his head to glance at Jian Wushuang, noticing that Jian Wushuang hadn’t spoken a word from beginning to end. Curious, he asked, “Brother Wushuang, could it be that none of them caught your eye?”
Wu Zuo’s words drew the attention of the others, and they all looked at Jian Wushuang.
It was only then that they realized Jian Wushuang hadn’t spoken at all. “The ones I’m interested in might not appeal to you. The only one that caught my eye, Xie Yue, has already been reserved by you!” Jian Wushuang said with a wry smile.
In his heart, he actually admired many of them, seeing that each of those Yan Immortals was
stronger than he was in the past.
He suddenly felt that times had changed.
It was just like the Yan Immortal from the upstream spacetimes.
When he went there initially, he was also taken aback, and in the blink of an eye, the downstream spacetimes had caught up to the upstream spacetime in the level of Yan
Immortal.
Next, they would cultivate even more powerful Dao Lords, catching up to the upstream
spacetimes.
Even the Emperors would catch up to the pace of the upstream spacetimes.
This was what he needed to do.
So, he didn’t have too high expectations for his disciples.
Even if he lost, going to fetch treasures wouldn’t be a big deal.
It would just be a good deed, leaving something behind for Qishen Temple.
When he went to the Realm King Continent, who knew when he would return?
They still didn’t know about the matter with Zamasu.
The greater pressure lay ahead!
Just like those trial participants.
The current trial was just the beginning.
The bigger tests were yet to come.
Everyone felt that there was something off about him today, but they couldn’t understand
why.
In the trial world, the battles continued.
Ji Tang and Shen Jian’s performances were not particularly outstanding.
