Chapter 430 A Great Dream Suddenly Awakens (Thanks to innocent灬潇 for the generous reward)

Chapter 546 Fate as Strong as a Lian Li Tree

  At the summit of Kunlun Mountain in the human realm, the elegant woman watched the characters on the scroll rise and fall, the spiritual light radiating from them transforming into vivid images. Her expression grew increasingly complex, barely able to conceal her astonishment.

  How could it be like this?

  It shouldn't have been this way.

  Because the difficulty of this trial had been increased, it was equivalent to re-enacting the history of that year. Afterward, the two of them grew up slowly, authentically and truly. Wei Yuan had to face the calamity of the flooded Jinshan Temple with a reversed identity. It was naturally a difficult hurdle. But who knew he would actually get acquainted with Fahai of Jinshan Temple.

  He would actually become acquainted with Bai Suzhen because he used Qinggong to pick Yao grass.

  In the end, after discovering that she had harmed her benefactor, Bai Suzhen took the initiative to stop the flooding of Jinshan Temple.

  He actually completed the trial in such an interlocking and unreasonable way.

  Of course, these were just the elegant woman's passing thoughts.

  The real challenge lay in whether one would still be willing to draw their sword when they knew they would surely die and had to pay a sufficient price.

  And he and Jue, they should have been silent towards each other, disliking each other. It was the relationship between a great thief and a famous constable. Even the flooding of Jinshan Temple should have been a situation where the famous constable stopped the great thief. But why did it turn into this?

  The elegant woman hesitated.

  She picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and then wrote names on a piece of white paper.

  First Wei Yuan, then she paused, and wrote Jue on the side.

  She used her fingers like a sword and severed the karmic connection between the two names.

  Then she saw the light flowing, the karmic connection that should have been severed actually reconnected, even more intricate, like cutting flowing water with a knife. The water would not stop, and if it went on for too long, the knife would even be broken.

  This jade brush, which could be considered a superb treasure in the mortal world, was pierced by strands of karmic connections invisible to the naked eye, and finally shattered, slowly crumbling and disappearing in the elegant woman's hand.

  Unable to be cut, unable to be exterminated, a Lian Li tree (two trees growing together), Bi Yi birds (a legendary bird with one wing each, needing to pair up to fly).

  The elegant woman stared fixedly at this fate, as stubborn as a Lian Li tree and Bi Yi birds.

  In the end, she seemed to understand something, sighing with a mix of helplessness and clarity, "...So that's how it is."

  "It has exceeded the limits that divine powers can sever."

  At this moment, the jade book shone brightly, representing the end of Wei Yuan's trial.

  But it was no longer two true spirits returning. Now, only Wei Yuan's own true spirit returned. And the images were still changing. This was not a simple illusion that could be opened and stopped at will, but a history that had appeared in the past. It was the true spirit aura emanating from the living beings in those cities that had been intercepted and preserved by the gods, re-enacting the events of that year.

  It was true, yet it was also false.

  Each person within it was a projection that truly existed in history.

  Their original intentions and nature were without falsehood.

  The scene that had been experienced earlier could actually be regarded as a certain possibility—

  If there really was a famous constable and a great thief in the Jiangnan region of that year, which direction would history have taken.

  Watching the scenes that were still changing in the images, the elegant woman frowned. In the end, no one artificially stopped this trial. She simply turned her gaze back to Wei Yuan. At this moment, his aura began to surge again, and it was obvious that he would wake up in a short time.

  At the same time, anomalies appeared on the Kunlun Jade Wall.

  ………………

  The Mountain and Sea Realm - West Mountain Realm Kunlun Mountain.

  The Mountain God Lu Yi, who was left to guard this realm, looked at the Kunlun Jade Wall with a worried face. He himself had no way to leave any traces on this thing, but the previous human emperor had come and left as many as four lines of text on it.

  Moreover, the imposing manner of these four lines of text was extremely powerful.

  Merits exceeding the Three Sovereigns.

  Virtue surpassing the Five Emperors.

  The world united as one.

  Divine land forever at peace.

  He had spent too much time these days trying to erase these four lines of text, but even after exhausting his mana today, there was not the slightest change in these four lines of text. This meant that his authority in Kunlun was completely insufficient to shake Kunlun's recognition of this person.

  Kunlun Mountain exists simultaneously in many worlds.

  It also exists in the human realm.

  Therefore, Kunlun's recognition is almost impossible to be wrong.

  The Mountain God Lu Yi mustered his strength and wiped it once more, but the four lines of text were not erased.

  He couldn't help but feel discouraged.

  Then, he was shocked to see the other side of the Kunlun Jade Wall slowly light up with flowing light, and words reappeared—

  Not only had the words on the jade wall not decreased, but now there were even more.

  However, at least this time it had nothing to do with that potter anymore.

  Thinking of this, he felt a little better.

  ………………

  Human Realm · Kunlun.

  The Kunlun gods were still strangely watching the god who had pushed Wei Yuan into the trial grounds earlier.

  They were astonished that this guy had created an unprecedented speedrun record.

  He was judged to have failed as soon as he entered.

  Unprecedented, unprecedented.

  An eye-opener.

  One of the Kunlun gods, who was friendly with Tushan, comforted him, "Actually, it's normal."

  "When we participate in the first trial, we don't even know what we went through. I'm afraid it's both difficult and easy. You were so fast, I guess you encountered the most difficult one, so take it easy."

  He turned to look at Nü Jiao, who was frowning beside him, and sighed, "However, this time it's so difficult."

  "I'm afraid that war god is also in trouble."

  "Yes..."

  "After all, this trial has nothing to do with strength, it only looks at one's own character."

  Nü Jiao frowned. The god immediately dared not say anything more, and became well-behaved. The Kunlun suddenly became very quiet. Even the wind and snow seemed to hold their breath obediently, not daring to cause the woman the slightest displeasure.

  At this moment, the jade wall suddenly lit up, and words appeared one by one.

  The old Kunlun god was shocked.

  At this moment, the gods on Kunlun Mountain in various worlds subconsciously looked at the jade wall.

  This meant that the first level had been cleared.

  Nü Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

  It was good that he had cleared the level. If he lost face here…

  When you get back, I'll give you a good time.

  However, I wonder what level it is…

  She looked carefully.

  And Lu Yi stared intently at his own jade wall.

  A line of text slowly appeared on it.

  Human Realm · Kunlun Mountain.

  Then there was a blur, and finally a few words:

  "First level, A-grade Superior."

  A-grade Superior…

  A-grade Superior?!

  Lu Yi's movements froze.

  The expressions of the other mountain gods were no better.

  For a time, Kunlun Mountain in various worlds became a little too quiet. Even if Lu Wu were to revive, he probably wouldn't be able to bring them such a huge impact. They only had a feeling of absurdity and disbelief in their hearts. In the past few thousand years, there had not been anyone who had passed the first level of the Queen Mother of the West's trial.

  But the evaluation of A-grade Superior was very rare.

  It had almost never been seen again in recent centuries.

  "Who is it?"

  Lu Yi subconsciously whispered.

  Such doubts echoed in the hearts of the mountain gods of Kunlun Mountain in other worlds at the same time. Because they had not passed the first three levels, the names of those who participated in the trial could not be revealed. Only the Kunlun gods in the human realm clearly saw that line of text.

  Human Race · War God, Yuan.

  First level, A-grade Superior!

  The Kunlun gods collectively gasped, as if they wanted to absorb all the millennia of unmelting cold air from this Kunlun Mountain. Then they immediately realized the weight of this line of text. If this person could really break through the three levels in a row, then his name would appear on the jade walls of Kunlun Mountain in various worlds at the same time.

  The name of the War God of the Human Race would return to the Mountains and Seas.

  Just thinking of that scene made the Kunlun gods' scalps tingle.

  One of the gods couldn't help but whisper.

  "As expected of the War God..."

  Nü Jiao's thoughts were a little stagnant as she looked at this result.

  A-grade Superior?

  She still wanted to take the opportunity to tease that kid again, and by the way, extort some millennia-old cold jade from these Kunlun gods, generously giving it to Yuan that kid, and taking advantage of the opportunity to harvest some of her elder sister's dignity, but, A-grade Superior?

  She blinked and came back to her senses.

  Listening to the surrounding Kunlun gods' low exclamations and praises, she coughed.

  She casually twirled a strand of white hair at her temples, her eyes were calm, her expression indifferent, and she said:

  "Well, it's still acceptable..."

  The surrounding gods saw such a calm and unwavering expression, even with a hint of indifference and "nothing more than that", and they praised even more in their hearts. As expected of King Yu's wife. Thinking about how that War God was brought here just now, King Yu's wife is amazing, as expected of someone who can be compared with the Lady…

  They tacitly restrained their thoughts.

  At this moment, Wei Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

  He froze.

  The memory of the first level trial would gradually disappear.

  But the disappearance of memory was not something that could be accomplished overnight, but slowly flowed away, like flowing water, so as not to damage the true spirit. And the length of experience in the trial was the amount of water. Some people's amount was a handful of water, fleeting in an instant, while Wei Yuan's memory was a full twenty-three years.

  The experience of the last year was still extremely clear.

  Wei Yuan stiffly raised his head little by little, looking at the Queen Mother of the West, who was so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar.

  Looking at her expression that she had witnessed everything.

  Memories surged wildly.

  Wei Yuan's mouth twitched stiffly, revealing a smile, and said, "You... saw it?"

  The elegant woman nodded affirmatively.

  "Saw everything?"

  "Saw everything!"

  The elegant woman nodded affirmatively again, and then smiled, "You still remember?"

  "No... my memory has already disappeared."

  "What are you talking about?"

  "How can I not understand?"

  Wei Yuan smiled with a polite and courteous expression.

  He responded in this way, and there was not a trace of fault to be found in his expression and demeanor.

  That kind of composure, that kind of magnanimity, as if he was going to bring back a carload of Oscars.

  But in his mind, the last memory surged wildly, that kind of unrestrainedness, that kind of momentum, as if he couldn't wait for a wave to directly slap him to death in West Kunlun. The images flashed through his mind one by one.

  'Imperial Cat, didn't you say you wanted to offer me amnesty?'

  'I agreed.'

  'But there are conditions.'

  'Marry her to me!'

  'You be my wife, and I'll buy you the best rouge and powder.'

  'Hey, Miss Jue.'

  'Even if it's not the Qiqiao Festival, there are many temple fairs and acrobatics in this beautiful place in the southeast. Five days later, you'll have a day off. How about we go to the temple fair together?'

  I'm infatuated with you.

  I'll give you wind, I'll give you rain, I'll give you the undying starlight from five thousand years ago.

  I'll give you the willow leaves of Jiangnan, I'll give you the swallows of Jiangnan, I'll give you the ten thousand zhang of worldly fireworks of Jiangnan.

  All of these are no problem.

  But the premise is that when saying these things, the mother of the person you are infatuated with is not next to you.

  And to think that all of this, all of it, had been seen cleanly by the Queen Mother of the West in front of him.

  Ahhhhh!

  The veins on Wei Yuan's forehead jumped frantically.

  Xingtian's polished heart of a war god?

  Huh? What is that?

  I want to die!

  I want to die!

  I want to jump directly off Kunlun Mountain.

  Water monkey, Xingtian!

  Give me a pottery jar immediately!

  Quick!

  Don't hesitate!

  ………………

  And the elegant woman watched the stiff Wei Yuan. When he seemed to barely restrain his mind, she slowly said:

  "Although you have passed the trial, you still can't go out."

  "There are some things here that I hope you can finish reading."

  She pointed to the book with her finger, her smile fading.
