Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"The Trial of the Earth Abyss has begun? Elder Bu has returned to preside over the Trial of the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Five Lights Clan?"

After hearing the news from Jin Yue that Bu Suzhen had returned to the Feiling tribe, Lu Tian calculated the time and instantly understood what was going on, and said.

"That's exactly what happened. We agreed to go to Jade Emperor Peak with the Five Lights Clan and set off in the next two days. However, I have already made an appointment with my fellow hikers to meet them when we return from Jade Emperor Peak..."

Jin Yue nodded and looked at Lu Tiandu.

Before heading to the Earth Abyss, all branches participating in the trial must first gather at the Feiling clan’s sacred place, Jade Emperor Peak, and then head to the Earth Abyss.

Obviously, from Jin Yue's words, Lu Tian could tell that Bu Suzhen, the great elder of the Five Lights Clan, would not accompany the saints of the clan to Diyuan.

This was normal. After all, the Wuguan Clan was one of the largest clans among the Feiling Clan. There were many Saint-level cultivators with considerable strength in the clan, unlike the declining Tianpeng Clan. In order to embolden their own saint sons and saint daughters, not only the great elder Jin Yue, but also Elder Shi, who ranked second in strength, would accompany them to participate in this trial.

"In that case, I will also come out of seclusion and go to the abyss with you!"

Lu Tiandu originally did not plan to waste a year's time going back and forth, so he simply sent his Shura clone to use the Thousand Illusion Pearls to disguise himself as a member of the Tianpeng tribe.

However, he knew last time that the Chirong tribe would not let him enter the Earth Abyss. In addition, he had been comprehending and modifying some of the transformation abilities of the Jingzhe Jue during this period of time. This trip would not affect his progress in cultivation, so Lu Tiandu decided to go in person this time.

Two days later, five giant snow-white birds flew out from the gate of Tianpeng Holy City, then flew out of the restriction and flew straight to a certain direction inland.

On one of the five giant birds, sat Lu Tiandu, who was closing his eyes and meditating on the magic formula.

A few days later, above a lush mountain, the Tianpeng tribe's team met the Wuguan tribe's trial team in the west.

The Five Lights Clan sent out a total of six holy sons and daughters this time, led by a young woman with a pretty face and gorgeous clothes and a middle-aged man with a resolute face.

Among these two people, the young woman with the cultivation level in the middle stage of fusion is named Qiu, and the middle-aged man with the cultivation level in the early stage of fusion is named Lan.

After all, they were all located to the west of the Feiling Clan, and the Tianpeng Clan and the Wuguang Clan had a good relationship, so the four saint-level elders quickly started greeting each other.

Lu Tiandu naturally noticed the surprise in the eyes of Madam Qiu and the middle-aged man named Lan.

This time, among the two saint sons and saint daughters of the Tianpeng tribe, Lei Hong has actually advanced to the rank of Flying Spirit Marshal, and Yan Yun has also advanced to the rank of high-level Flying Spirit General. In addition, Lu Tiandu, the saint son who suddenly appeared and possessed the cultivation level of a high-level Flying Spirit Marshal, who was rumored to have caused the Chirong tribe to lose two saint-level elders, it is no wonder that they were surprised.

In response to the curiosity of the two, Lu Tian naturally denied the rumors related to him, saying that he had been practicing magical powers in the Holy City over the years and had never left the Holy City.

After some greetings, the two teams set off again for Jade Emperor Peak.

Due to the recent escalation of conflicts between the Chirong and Tianpeng tribes, the Chirong tribe, which was also in the west, did not travel with the Tianpeng and Wuguang tribes this time.

After nearly three months of travel, the huge peak where Jade Emperor Peak is located is already clearly visible.

At this moment, huge colorful flames appeared above the distant giant peaks, rolling, interweaving and flashing, dyeing most of the sky as brilliant as colorful clouds.

"Elder Jin, it seems that the elders of Yuhuang Peak should know that we have arrived, and they have even released the spiritual flames to welcome us."

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiu smiled and said to Jin Yue beside her.

It was such an astonishing sight that even though they were a hundred miles away, they could still see it clearly.

"This is not the first time we have seen such a situation. Time flies so fast. Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Jin Yue sighed.

She looked back and saw Lu Tiandu, who had been closing his eyes to comprehend the magic formula all the way, was also looking at the flames in the sky. When he saw her looking at him, he nodded.

But after a moment, a burst of celestial music suddenly came from the direction of the distant giant peak, followed by a flash of spiritual light in the sky and a large piece of colorful clouds rolling in.

Soon, Caixia arrived at a high altitude where several people were standing, and ten people in different clothes walked out from it. Most of them had white hair and looked very old.

"See you elders."

When Jin Yue, Madam Qiu and others saw the ten people, they jumped off their mounts and bowed deeply to them.

"There's no need to be so polite. You will become one of us sooner or later. The other elders are all at the Jade Emperor Peak, waiting for you."

One of the ten people, an old woman with one hand on a crutch, said with a smile.

"These should be some of the Saint-level elders of the Feiling Clan's Joint Elders Council!"

Lu Tiandu watched this scene and this thought flashed through his mind, "So, there are at least dozens of combined cultivators on the Jade Emperor Peak! This is the foundation of the Feiling Clan as a medium-sized clan!"

"Moreover, according to what Jin Yue said before, the Huangfeng tribe's Xiong surnamed Mahayana, who is currently the Feiling tribe's rotating supreme elder, is also in seclusion somewhere on the Jade Emperor Peak."

Lu Tiandu recalled that there were only a dozen combined elders of the human and demon races in Tianyuan City, and he sighed secretly.

Most of these ten people are cultivators above the fusion stage. The old woman who was the first to speak was just like Jin Yue, in that she was in the late fusion stage.

According to the rules of the Feiling tribe, the elders of each tribe, when their life span is about to end, will leave their original branch, automatically give up all their identities and status in the original tribe, join the Joint Elders Council, and be responsible for the entire Feiling tribe.

At this time, the four saint-level elders of the two tribes came forward and exchanged greetings with the old woman and others. Then, under the leadership of these ten people, the group drove the giant bird again and flew straight to the giant peak.

Although Lu Tiandu did not say a word throughout the whole process, he still felt the strange looks from some of the cultivators among these visitors.

According to his guess, the Chirong tribe should have reached the Jade Emperor Peak long ago. Unsurprisingly, he would definitely not be able to enter the Abyss this time.

However, this matter had no impact on him. It was just right for him to come to Yuhuangding this time to see the background of the Feiling Clan, and then go to the vicinity of the Abyss to observe the surrounding situation. It would be more convenient for him to sneak into the Abyss with Youluo later.

After a while, they arrived near the giant peak. The majestic buildings in front of them were vaguely visible, and in the sky, there were many black spots of varying sizes hovering.

Seeing that they were only a few miles away from the mountain peak, there was a muffled "boom" and a seven-colored rainbow shot out from the building on the mountain peak. It flashed across such a long distance and arrived in front of everyone.

Then, a gorgeous and huge arch bridge appeared in front of us.

The crowd did not hesitate, and under the guidance of the old woman and others, they stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge one after another.

A moment later, at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, a huge green palace appeared vaguely in the white mist.

In front of the huge hall, a group of people were already waiting quietly. The two leading them were particularly conspicuous. One was a middle-aged man with snow-white hair and a tall nose. The other was an old man with wrinkles all over his face, unusually long cheeks, and a light black tattoo covering his neck.

"Two more beings in the late stage of fusion!"

Lu Tiandu was certain of it after just a quick sense of the aura around the two people.

At this time, the old woman who led the crowd saw this, smiled, and walked to the side of the two people with a flick of her sleeves. The rest of the people walked into the crowd and disappeared. "Several elders have come from afar with the saints and saints, and they have been very tired along the way. The saints can go to the side hall to rest for a while, and the elders can accompany me and the other old guys to the hall to have a chat..."

The tattooed old man bowed and said with a smile.

"Elder Ming is too polite. We will obey your orders!"

Among this group of elders who brought the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters here, there were not many who were in the late stage of fusion, so Jin Yue took the lead and bowed slightly and spoke.

……

Led by their maids, Lu Tiandu, Yan Yun and Lei Hong quickly came to a side hall to rest.

Since it was the first time for the three of them to come to Jade Emperor Peak, the maids explained the rules of Jade Emperor Peak to them in detail.

Without mentioning other things, the most important rule is that on Jade Emperor Peak, except for the competition arena on the easternmost side, no fighting is allowed in other places. Otherwise, you will suffer physical pain at the very least, and your cultivation will be abolished at the worst.

"Okay, you two should find a side hall to rest. Don't go out during this period to prevent other people from causing trouble."

Lu Tiandu looked at the two and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will not go into the Earth Abyss with you this time. When the time comes, you two will work together, and with the other trump cards prepared by the Great Elder, it should not be a problem to obtain the mission items and pass the trial."

"What? How could this happen?"

Yan Yun's face changed and he asked hurriedly.

After listening to Lu Tiandu's explanation, Yan Yun and Lei Hong looked at each other in surprise.

Originally, with the great master Lu Tiandu, they could have easily won. However, if Lu Tiandu did not enter the Abyss, the pressure they faced would have been enormous.

"Okay, let's go and rest!"

Seeing that the two of them looked unhappy, Lu Tian shook his head.

In fact, with the three kinds of talismans given to them by Jin Yue, namely the Giant Thunder Talisman, the Taiyi Huaqing Talisman and the Liuding Tianjia Talisman, as well as some treasures bestowed upon them, the two were not afraid even when facing a high-level Flying Spirit Marshal.

However, perhaps because they have always been afraid of the holy sons of the Chirong and Huangfeng tribes, as well as their lack of confidence in their own combat experience, the two men looked a little unhappy.

After all, I heard that although there were many saint sons and saint daughters who participated in the trial with the cultivation level of initial-level Flying Spirit Marshals, some of them were only high-level Flying Spirit Generals, but their combat power reached the mid-level Flying Spirit Marshals.

The next day.

Jin Yue and Elder Shi also came to the attic where Lu Tiandu and others were temporarily staying.

At this moment, both of them looked a little unhappy. There was no doubt that under the proposal of the Chirong tribe and other tribes, and according to the decision of the Joint Elders Council, Lu Tian was disqualified from participating in this Diyuan Trial. After other trial passers came out, they would be promoted to Holy Lord together.

Lu Tiandu did not react to this and continued to stay in the attic to comprehend the Jingzhe Jue.

Although his spiritual power currently exceeded that of ordinary early Mahayana cultivators, and he was very confident in his disguise skills with the help of the Thousand Illusion Pearls, he was not sure whether he would be unlucky enough to run into this Mahayana cultivator with the surname Xiong. Therefore, before setting out for the Earth Abyss, he did not think about going out.

Ten days later, after all the branches participating in this trial were ready, everyone set out again.

During this period, given the rumors that Lu Tiandu had once quelled Yinchao's astonishing strength and killed a Saint-level monk, naturally no Saint Son would be so blind as to dare to come to the Tianpeng tribe's base to provoke him.

Two months later, over an extremely desolate Loess Plateau, a group of thousands of giant birds and flying insects flew past from high altitude.

On the giant birds and flying insects, they are all standing or sitting, and they are all winged figures.

It was the Feiling Tribe who set out from the Jade Emperor Peak and headed all the way to the entrance to the Abyss.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the Feiling people in front, and some people's screams were faintly heard, and the speed of the entire team slowed down.

Lu Tiandu's expression changed. He stopped comprehending the Jingzhe Jue and immediately swept his mind forward.

Thousands of miles away from them, a huge wall suddenly appeared. It was blue and gray in color and was three to four hundred feet high. Looking to both sides, it looked like it was impossible to see the end.

On the huge wall, every hundred feet or so, there is a white jade pillar standing there.

These pillars are only ten feet high, but the surface is flashing with green light, and they are all imprinted with mysterious and unusual runes, and it is unknown what their purpose is.

On one side of the huge wall, there are cylindrical attics about thirty to forty feet high. They are so densely packed that there are thousands of them as far as the eye can see.

And above these attics, there were tens of thousands of Feiling people wearing armor, floating in the air, quietly waiting for them.

"The Seventh Layer Abyss is extremely vast. Although there are many fusion-level monsters in it, there are also many resources for cultivation. It seems that the Feiling Clan also attaches great importance to this unsettled back garden or trial ground!"

This thought flashed through Lu Tiandu's mind as he glanced at the Feiling warriors like the Tianyuan Guards.

In his perception, although these walls of restriction are very powerful for ordinary cultivators, even cultivators in the late stage of fusion cannot break the restrictions without alerting the guards, but it is not a difficult task for a true spirit like Youluo.

By then it would not be difficult for him and Youluo to secretly enter the abyss.

After passing through the forbidden wall set up by the monks of the Feiling clan and flying thousands of miles, you will reach the real entrance to the abyss.

According to the agreement signed by the various tribes of Feiling back then, the great elders of each branch are qualified to enter and exit the Diyuan at any time, so Lu Tian learned a lot of information about the Diyuan from Jin Yue.

In addition to the five demon kings in the middle and late stages of fusion, including Liuzu, there are also many demon kings of the earth abyss in the early stages of fusion scattered throughout the four layers below the earth abyss.

As for the fact that there were only four or five demon kings in the middle and late stages of fusion during the two explorations of the Styx in the original plot, this is not difficult to understand. On the one hand, the Styx Divine Milk is limited and there are too many people to share it; on the other hand, these four or five people, as the best among the demon kings in the abyss, probably looked down on the combat effectiveness of other demon kings and wanted to get the Styx Divine Milk alone.

Generally speaking, the first three layers of the Earth Abyss only have monsters at the highest level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Occasionally, a big monster at the Void Refinement Realm would come up, so it is very suitable for the trial of the Holy Son of the Feiling Clan.

As for the deeper areas below the fourth layer, the Feiling tribe would send a Saint-level elder to lead a group of Feiling generals to look for opportunities every few years, and each time they would win or lose against the monsters in the abyss.

Just as Lu Tiandu and his group were approaching the Diyuan guards, a middle-aged man in green armor also flew out from the guards. Judging from his cultivation level, he was also a cultivator in the late fusion stage.

This person is none other than the commander of the Diyuan Guard currently on duty.

Seeing the middle-aged man flying out, the three people who led the joint elders' council, the old woman with crutches, the middle-aged man with snow-white hair, and the old man with tattoos on his face, came forward to communicate.

A moment later, the huge trial team began to move into the cylindrical attics one by one.

After a night's rest, the next day was the time for the saints who participated in the trial to enter the abyss! (End of this chapter)
