Chapter 1455: Chapter 1414: Trial

Lu Chuan changed his strategy.

Since Kong Zhaozhao wants to know who he is, Lu Chuan might as well tell her. With Qin Tao’s cultivation, becoming an Immortal Sect disciple is by no means difficult.

Killing Chen Nong in front of everyone was just the first step in Lu Chuan’s plan.

If there’s to be chaos, then let it be significant!

As for the consequences, with the people sent by Kong Zhaozhao present, Lu Chuan was not worried about what might happen to him.

“I killed Chen Nong, and they can all testify for me.”

“You’re quite bold! A menial worker disobeying his superiors deserves death, yet you dream of becoming an Immortal Sect disciple? I’ll take you to the Law Hall first, and someone will judge your sins!”

“Sins? Ha, what a grandiose word. Chen Nong was lording over the Outer Sect, while I have obviously broken through the Golden Core Realm, fully qualified to join the Immortal Sect, yet he concealed it, repeatedly oppressing me and others, turning into a local tyrant. Isn’t that a sin?

They, everyone here, can testify for me. I rid the Immortal Sect of a scourge, and that becomes my sin instead?”

“Sharp tongue, law is law! Whether Chen Nong sinned or not is irrelevant, even if he did, what qualifies you to kill him? Take him down!”

“Come! I want to see just what level the so-called Immortal Sect disciple is!”

Lu Chuan’s eyes held no fear as he charged forward laughing, flames coating his arms, he punched at the spear tip, yet the imagined scene of blood splattering did not occur. The metal spear tip melted upon touching the flame, turning into a puddle of iron!

“Break!”

“Enough, stop it!”

Seeing Lu Chuan almost set the mountain gate on fire, the Shadow had to intervene before things spiraled out of control.

“And who might you be?”

Lu Chuan turned to scrutinize the Shadow, asking in a deep voice, “Are you here to take me down too?”

“No.”

The Shadow simply replied and then approached the mountain gate, took out a token from his waist, holding it high, calmly saying, “Do you recognize this token?”

“This is… Little Frost Peak’s token?! Are you the Shadow Elder?”

“Elder is too grand, I came here on my lady’s orders to bring Qin Tao into the Immortal Sect. I have evidence of Chen Nong’s crimes; Qin Tao does not need to bear any responsibility for this. You can make way.”

At these words, everyone looked at each other, hesitated for a while, but eventually made a path.

With no choice, once the Little Frost Peak token was out, they had to yield.

“I understand, Shadow Elder, I will notify them to start the mountain gate trial immediately. No! We don’t need the trial, you can bring Qin Tao into the Immortal Sect at any time!”

“No need, just follow the normal procedure, start the trial.”

Saying so, the Shadow turned and looked at Lu Chuan, calmly saying, “If you can’t even pass the trial, there’s no point in entering the Immortal Sect.”

“Hmph, what difficulty does a mere trial hold?”

A glint of disdain flashed in Lu Chuan’s eyes as he walked directly to the mountain gate. As he stepped onto the first step, he felt as if another Dashan weighed on his shoulders.

But unfortunately, this weight was nothing to Lu Chuan, who took a long breath, and in everyone’s gaze, climbed over thirty steps before he stopped.

Although Lu Chuan could have easily climbed hundreds of steps without feeling tired, he was, after all, under the guise of Qin Tao, and excessively defying appearances might not be beneficial. Lu Chuan had to make a show of panting, his footsteps slow but steady and firm.

“Already… the Fiftieth Level!”

The disciple guarding the mountain gate gasped in astonishment upon seeing this!

One should know, although this mountain gate trial seems simple, the truth is, very few disciples from the Outer Sect can truly complete it. Only those at the Ninth Level of the Golden Core Realm can possibly finish all one hundred steps, and the qualifying standard is just past the Sixtieth Level.

After all, the final step requires enduring a pressure of tens of thousands of pounds; an ordinary person would be crushed to a pulp on the spot!

But what about ‘Qin Tao’?

In less than a minute, he had already stepped onto the Fifty-Ninth Level, and judging by his appearance, he seemed to still have strength left.

“Sixty… qualified!”

A voice announcing the trial qualification rang in his ears, but ‘Qin Tao’ ignored it, veins bulging, face flushed red, continuing forward!

The stairs from the Sixtieth to the Eightieth Level represented another threshold.

Advancing continuously under a burden of ten thousand pounds marks ordinary people, but ‘Qin Tao’ was still persisting.

But in truth, Lu Chuan was struggling, acting like he was struggling.

Maintaining a state where the veins bulged and the face flushed wasn’t easy.

When ‘Qin Tao’ stepped onto the Seventieth Level, the crowd fell completely silent.

By the time ‘Qin Tao’ crossed the Eightieth Level, the Shadow looked at Lu Chuan with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

When ‘Qin Tao’ stepped onto the Ninetieth Level, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of ‘Qin Tao’s’ mouth, as he had intentionally bitten his tongue to create the effect.

Up to Ninety-Seven, Ninety-Eight, Ninety-Nine.

In front, only the last step remained.

Once he crossed it, ‘Qin Tao’ would have achieved what no one had for millennia, completing all one hundred steps of the mountain gate trial at the First Level of the Golden Core Realm.

Can it be done?

Too difficult, too difficult.

In the eyes of the Shadow, ‘Qin Tao’s’ current state had reached its limit, his body was wailing, trembling like a sieve, blood continuously spilling from his mouth, if he forced himself, it could possibly lead to his body collapsing, or even future ailments!

But the Shadow hoped ‘Qin Tao’ could take this step.

Though he was loyal to Kong Zhaozhao, he was also a member of the Penglai Immortal Sect. Seeing the sect recruiting such a talented disciple, he felt fortunate for the Immortal Sect.

“Why not… give up? Ninety-Nine, that’s a record in history!”

For a thousand years, the highest recorded was merely Ninety-Six, Lu Chuan had already broken the record and created history, there was truly no need to push himself.

To know, the previous record was set by a Third Level of the Golden Core Realm, a higher realm than ‘Qin Tao’, naturally with a more resilient body.

“Screw you! One step of broken stairs, I don’t believe it!”

‘Qin Tao’ let out a growl, almost gathering all his strength to lift a foot and heavily step onto the hundredth step!

It was this very instant, ‘Qin Tao’ spat out blood continuously, his waist and back quickly slumping, desperately holding onto the ground.

Only one foot short!

As long as he stood up, he would have created history, a true miracle.

“Get me… up there!”

‘Qin Tao’ roared, even while coughing blood, he lifted his left foot and heavily stomped onto the hundredth step!
