"I am the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect now, I don't lack opportunities!"
Chen Nan forged ahead with all his might!
Long Ao said, "It's different!"
"You can call this opportunity an immortal fate!"
"I know you came here purely to save me!"
"I can feel this kindness!"
"But I can't just stand by and watch you get killed by the True Master!"
"While my consciousness is still clear, do as I say quickly!"
"Take ten steps forward, then three steps back!"
"Eight to the left, two to the right!"
Chen Nan sighed!
He eventually began walking according to Long Ao's instructions!
For some reason!
As he walked, he found the scene before his eyes changing!
It was originally a world of ice and snow!
The next moment, he found himself in front of a lush, verdant mountain peak!
It gave Chen Nan an illusion!
As if he had stepped into a spatial portal and entered another dimension!
Especially the nine-story immortal mansion, hundreds of meters high, that met his gaze!
It looked magnificent and grand, exuding an ancient and desolate aura!
It deeply stimulated his eyes and soul!
Immortal cranes soared through the air, occasionally letting out cries. It was truly a blessed land!
Long Ao lay on the ground, its breath growing weaker: "Kunlun Mountain has many ancient ruins and grotto-heavens. My mission is to guard them."
"And open them at the opportune time!"
"And among the numerous ruins and grotto-heavens!"
"Only this place is an immortal's residence!"
"As for its owner... it's impossible to verify who it was long ago!"
"But one thing is clear, if you can gain the recognition of the immortal mansion, no one in the world will be able to harm you!"
"Give me a few Spirit Flood Dragon Pills. I want to wait until you gain the immortal mansion's recognition before I leave!"
As it spoke, a hint of expectant smile appeared in its eyes!
Chen Nan's expression was complex: "If you keep your word, I'll never gain the immortal mansion's recognition in this lifetime!"
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. It's nothing..." Long Ao knew Chen Nan didn't want it to die.
Chen Nan sighed softly: "Tell me, how can I gain the immortal mansion's recognition?" As he spoke, he took out all the Spirit Flood Dragon Pills and placed them before it.
He wanted to gain the immortal mansion's recognition!
Hoping to find a way to save Long Ao within.
Long Ao weakly said, "Approach the immortal mansion, and you will know then!"
Chen Nan's eyes were firm as he approached the immortal mansion!
The moment Chen Nan stepped onto the bluestone-paved ground before the immortal mansion!
Two immortal cranes dived down!
They landed before Chen Nan and transformed into two young children!
One boy and one girl, appearing to be about ten years old!
Fair and plump, very cute!
"Xiao Hong, do you want him to gain the immortal mansion's recognition?" the boy child looked at Long Ao in the distance: "You shouldn't have brought him here. With his cultivation, it's impossible for him to gain the immortal mansion's recognition!"
Long Ao weakly replied, "Although I know it's very difficult for him to gain the immortal mansion's recognition, I still want to try!"
The girl child said, "Since that's the case, then accept the trial!" As she spoke, she formed a hand seal, and a mountain apparition instantly appeared in the void.
This mountain covered an extremely vast area, blocking out the sky and sun, with no end in sight!
Chen Nan's pupils trembled!
This was the Mountain Character from the Divine Talisman Technique!
Its power was terrifying!
It could instantly crush a mountain!
As the Mountain Character appeared!
An unparalleled gravity instantly fell upon Chen Nan's shoulders!
The true qi within his body surged out, supporting his body to prevent him from falling!
But the stone slabs beneath his feet cracked with muffled sounds!
"Young man, you can use your lifelong learning to resist. As long as you can endure for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, you will be qualified to enter the first level of the immortal mansion!" the girl child's voice rang out, as pleasant as a copper bell.
Chen Nan gritted his teeth: "Even if I use my lifelong learning, it will not be enough to shake the Mountain Character! If that's the case, why waste my true qi?"
"A mere incense stick's worth of time, I can afford to wait!"
He silently recited the Yin Gathering Technique, rapidly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a supplement!
The Mountain Character was indeed terrifying!
But for him, it was also an opportunity to temper his body!
"Holy crap, what do you guys mean by this?"
"This is too much!"
When Chen Nan saw the boy child light a stick of sandalwood incense about five meters long, his composure shattered!
If this incense stick burned out, he figured he would have already crossed the Bridge of Helplessness, drunk the Soup of Forgetfulness, and even completed reincarnation!
These two were truly treacherous!
If you want me dead, just say so, why use such means?
Despite this, Chen Nan did not lose heart. Gritting his teeth, he endured the crushing sensation brought by the Mountain Character, controlling his true qi to protect his internal organs and soul!
As long as he possessed the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation!
As long as his internal organs and soul were unharmed, any injury could be overlooked!
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Chen Nan's skin cracked, erupting in bursts of blood mist!
But the true qi surged through, and it quickly recovered!
Then it cracked again, and was repaired again!
"You've broken the rules by lighting that incense!" Long Ao's eyes flashed with ferocity.
The boy child grinned: "The rule is the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but it didn't specify which incense stick!"
It could be seen.
They disliked Chen Nan greatly!
If they truly liked him, they could have lit an ordinary incense stick!
After all, they controlled the rules!
"Junior Sister, this fellow seems to be using your attack to temper his body!" the boy child's bright eyes were filled with innocence: "Undeniably, this fellow is quite strong, his physique is comparable to an early-stage Golden Core expert!"
"I feel like he's insulting me!" the girl child's eyes glinted with coldness!
The boy child quickly said, "Don't get angry, don't forget our duty!"
The girl child took a deep breath!
She forcibly hid the killing intent in her heart!
Their duty was to test those who came here!
As long as the other party accepted the trial, they could not interfere by force!
Just as Chen Nan's flesh and blood were undergoing cracking and repair!
Suddenly, the sound of breaking bones echoed within him!
Crack!
Crack-crack!
Crack-crack-crack!
Chen Nan's face contorted, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
It hurt!
But it was bearable!
However, the injury from broken bones would not heal so quickly!
Fortunately, he had the Yin Gathering Technique!
Spiritual energy continuously poured into his body!
"Your physique has reached its limit!" the girl child said, "I advise you to give up. Although you won't gain the immortal mansion this way, your physique has also undergone a transformation, so it can be considered an opportunity!"
"If you continue to persist, your internal organs will be severely damaged!"
"What I want is a great opportunity, this is not enough!"
Chen Nan formed a hand seal, and his true qi protected his heart and blood vessels!
He not only wanted to temper his body, but also his internal organs!
The moment he shielded his internal organs with true qi, the terrifying gravity instantly surged into them, causing them to emit a frantic roar!
His eyes became bloodshot, and veins bulged on his face, making him look ferocious and terrifying!
The boy child in the distance showed a meaningful smile: "This fellow is indeed a ruthless person, but to inherit the immortal mansion, ruthlessness alone is far from enough!"
"It's just that I wonder if he has any other shining points?"
