5168 The Trial Begins
Although the Chishui Alliance was currently in disarray, each member understood the concept of every man for himself in times of crisis.
They had already begun planning for the aftermath of the Chishui Alliance's collapse.
As for Wanderer Chishui, he turned a blind eye to these developments. Ever since he learned how to enter the Qishen Temple, he no longer cared about the fate of the Chishui Alliance.
He had greeted a few top tier 4 Emperors. He could form a new alliance within the Qishen Temple. He didn't care about the other strong individuals anymore; they couldn't assist him in any way.
As a tier 3 Emperor, Qianshou Buddha, belonging to a different circle, was naturally unaware of what the Tongtian Buddha and the others were discussing. However, upon receiving the message, he quickly rallied everyone to prepare to enter the Qishen Temple.
"Jiu Yu, you are the strongest among us, and we are of the same generation. You are our senior. Inside the Qishen Temple, please protect others as much as you can," Qianshou Buddha said, echoing Jiu Yu's sentiments. His temperament was good, unlike other Emperors who were often aloof and domineering.
This was rare among tier 3 Emperors. Generally, tier 3 Emperors were the leaders of significant forces, and they weren't easy to talk to, especially the tier 2 Emperors who tended to be arrogant, particularly when their strength was weaker than others at the same tier. They liked to show off in front of the Grand Yan Immortal.
Most of these Emperors had reached the end of the road in terms of the Great Dao, with little hope of further strengthening their power. Their fundamental Great Dao before integrating with the source was weak, consisting of ordinary fourth-grade or fifth-grade Great Dao. Therefore, they felt intense jealousy towards the geniuses who possessed powerful sources.
This jealousy was somewhat understandable. In fact, some dark- hearted Emperors specifically hunted down the geniuses among the Grand Yan Immortals.
Fortunately, there were many Emperors present this time, so the evil Emperors didn't dare to act recklessly. After all, the Grand Yan Immortals present were the elite geniuses of their respective worlds, and no one dared to incur their wrath at this moment.
"Thank you, Emperor. I will be careful," Jiu Yu's eyes glinted with determination.
Among his peers, he was a tier 3 Emperor, but he was still at the Perfected Nine Revolutions level. While it might seem like he wasn't in a hurry to integrate numerous Great Dao, in reality, he was more anxious than anyone else. However, merging countless Great Dao into one was not an easy task.
Until he reached the Perfect Source level, he couldn't integrate the Dao.
"Sure, go in!" Qianshou Buddha waved his hand, and everyone was teleported out of the Chishui Temple.
"Jiu Yu, I hope that when you return, you will have successfully integrated the Dao!"
In the void, Jiu Yu turned around. He received a transmission from Qianshou Buddha, nodded, and silently said to himself, "Definitely! Brother Qianshou."
He couldn't forget the joyful expression on his friend's face when they successfully integrated the Dao together. On Tongtian Mountain back then, they were the geniuses of their generation- one succeeded in integrating the Dao, and the other struggled, delaying his integration.
"Depart!" Jiu Yu turned around, his eyes filled with madness, and he shouted sternly!
Hundreds of people from the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm entered the Qishen Temple together.
Jian Wushuang, not being a practitioner of the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm realm himself, followed at the end, walking parallel to Hu Qing.
Before entering the Qishen Temple, Jian Wushuang felt a pair of enormous eyes watching him. He turned around and looked at the Eternal Tower floating in the void.
A majestic figure appeared in his mind. "It's Zhen Wuyang!"
Jian Wushuang hurried into the Qishen Temple.
In the Chishui Hall, he had learned about the previous battle.
Several Emperors fell, including the ancestors of the Eastern Yan realm.
There were also several emperors he had heard about, those powerful emperors from the ancient times in the Great Si Region.
Just being glanced at by Zhen Wuyang, he felt chills down his spine!
But he wasn't a traitor; he was never truly one of Zhen Wuyang's people.
Zhen Wuyang withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and thought to himself, "Good luck to you, young one."
He managed to shift some of the Nine Revolutions from the Great Si Region, but there weren't many with potential. Most of them would end up as cannon fodder. Jian Wushuang, however, proved to be a pleasant surprise to him.
In a short span of time, he had broken through to the Six Revolutions of Grand Yan Immortal. He even had the Ultimate Dao. placing him at the top 100 million on the Universe Deity-Demon List.
Being among the top 100 million at the Six Revolutions meant a lot. When he was at the pre-Nine Revolutions level, he could enter the top 1,000. Although he didn't fully comprehend the selection criteria of Grand Yan Immortals, those within the top 1,000 were worth nurturing by the Qishen Temple. Perhaps, in the future, they could become a significant force to aid him.
However, mastering the Ultimate Dao was incredibly challenging. So far, there was only one Ultimate Emperor in the entire universe. He couldn't be certain that Jian Wushuang would succeed. Yet, as the sole practitioner of the Ultimate Dao in the Great Si Region, he sincerely hoped that Jian Wushuang would successfully master it.
"Phew!"
Entering the Qishen Temple, Jian Wushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had half-expected Zhen Wuyang to strike him down with a single blow.
In the pitch-black darkness, Jian Wushuang couldn't discern where he was.
"What's this?"
He felt bewildered. Everything around him was pitch black, but when he looked up, he saw a sky filled with planets!
Hum!
An ancient aura enveloped him, and in the next moment, he vanished from his spot.
"Original Planet, Codename Alpha Nine!"
Before Jian Wushuang could grasp what was happening, a deep voice echoed in his ears.
With a burst of intense light, the darkness dissipated. He could now see his surroundings clearly.
Looking around, he realized he was on a desolate planet. Barren mountain ranges, gray-white continents, and depleted lakes surrounded him.
Only a small fraction of the people who had entered the Qishen Temple with him had been transferred to this original planet. He couldn't sense the presence of the others.
"In the Qishen Temple, there existed a hidden world!" Jian
Wushuang's figure flickered, appearing in the sky above the original planet. A barrier blocked his way.
Through the barrier, he could see other original planets, 36 in total, within this world.
"Brother Wushuang!"
The young samanera, Hu Qing, flew over from a distance. The current Hu Qing was no longer the innocent and naive monk from before. The loose monk's robe he wore replaced his original tight- fitting attire. His fair face now carried a pair of sharp and fierce eyes.
Seeing Hu Qing, Jian Wushuang nodded but didn't say much!
The two landed on the ground, and other practitioners noticed them. However, due to mutual unfamiliarity, they kept a considerable distance, their guard up.
Ding!
A crisp sound resonated. Above the original planet, an elderly figure with a hunched back appeared. He carried a dark lamp and had a face full of wrinkles, with one white eye revolving in its socket.
"The Qishen Temple's ultimate trial begins now!" The hunched old man's voice was hoarse. After uttering these words, he disappeared from this Alpha Nine original planet.
Upon hearing this, the crowd first froze, then various eyes showed hints of murderous intent.
After exchanging a glance with Hu Qing, Jian Wushuang swiftly rushed towards the nearest mountain range.
The hunched old man had given them a piece of information!
Once inside the mountains, the two of them finally let go of their guard. Simultaneously, the sky tilted, casting numerous beams of light.
In each beam, there was a white token.
The hunched old man had instructed everyone: once they obtained their own token, they could unleash their killing intent.
