The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 264 Ancient Trial
Faced with the Wang family's coercion, only slightly larger forces such as the Golden Family and the Ice God Palace stood in the front with solemn expressions and did not speak. They were waiting for the Wang family to state the specific conditions.

"Hand over the ancient scripture!"

After hearing Wang Chengkun's words, the scene instantly became quiet, and all the cultivators were shocked. Inheriting ancient scriptures is the foundation of a force!

Once they are handed over, they will no longer have any secrets in the eyes of the Wang family.

All the cultivators turned their eyes to Jin Shengzhou and the Palace Master of the Ice God Palace. Now the decision depended entirely on the two of them. Small forces did not dare to make a decision, and the big forces were well aware of the horror of the Wang family.

"If you don't hand it over, you will die!" Wang Chengkun said this and ignored them.

All the powerful people in the Wang family stood up and surrounded all the cultivators in the middle.
-
At this time, Wang Teng drove the ancient chariot, taking Liu Shan and others, cutting through the void, flying all the way, flying over glaciers and grasslands, and came to a large desert at the end.

Continuing to fly towards the Gobi Desert, there was a thin mist in the depths.

From afar, in this barren Gobi Desert, there seems to be a magical lake with colorful rays of light. The lake water is glittering and brilliant, dotted on the Gobi Desert, like a spiritual eye, mysterious and smart.

"Master, it's just ahead!" Wang Teng pointed ahead respectfully.

As if sensing the arrival of the crowd, a crane turned into a ray of fairy light, cut through the sky, and spread its wings.

"Wang Teng, you are here."

The fairy light dissipated, and a crane with white wings emitting fairy light appeared on the ancient chariot.

"you……"

Xianhe instantly noticed Wang Teng, who was a little different from usual. Usually he was unruly and confident, but at this moment his eyes were full of piety and conviction.

Wang Teng has always been proud and conceited. He became famous at a young age and claimed to be the future emperor. How could he have faith in others and show a pious attitude? He would not submit to anyone and show a humble and courteous attitude.

There is definitely something wrong with Wang Teng now! The crane's eyes flickered with divine light, sensing silently.

But feeling the breath, it didn't find any problems.

"Who are you?" Xianhe couldn't help but turn his gaze to Liu Shan and the others.

This place of inheritance is a forbidden area!
Wang Teng has never brought anyone here, including his relatives. Why would he bring so many strangers here now!

"I'm Liu Shan. I came here specifically to witness the trial of the Great Emperor Luan Gu!" Liu Shan stepped forward and stated his purpose.

"What!" Xianhe was furious and looked at Wang Teng in disbelief.

He actually told outsiders about the inheritance of Emperor Luan Gu!
The crane couldn't figure it out, but it felt uneasy inside. It immediately shot out a beam of light from its beak and hit Liu Shan, the leader!
"boom"

Liu Shan still had a smile on his face, without any defense, but Long Li behind him burst into energy, the rhyme of Tao flowed, the divine patterns turned into streams of light, instantly sealing off the entire world.

The pressure from the saint mercilessly suppressed the crane.

"Ancient Saint!" The crane looked terrified, and his whole body had collapsed on the chariot.

"Wang Teng!"

Xianhe looked at Wang Teng, not understanding what was wrong with him. Not only did he bring outsiders into this forbidden area, but he also allowed them to suppress him!

"Senior Xianhe, I just want to witness the trial of Emperor Luan Gu. I have no other ill intentions. You don't have to be so nervous." Liu Shan still smiled and looked at Xianhe who was lying on the ground.

But Xianhe ignored him and continued to stare at Wang Teng, feeling confused.

Looking at the angry crane, Liu Shan raised his eyebrows.

"You don't need to hate Wang Teng anymore. He was defeated by me, and I conquered him. He has now submitted to me wholeheartedly!"

After hearing Liu Shan's words, Xianhe's eyes became a little dull. Wang Teng was defeated? He actually surrendered!

Finding it hard to accept, Xianhe couldn't help but turn his gaze to Liu Shan. Was this the man who defeated Wang Teng?
It felt pain in its heart. Wang Teng was the successor it had chosen. It had been nurturing him since childhood and had a deep affection for him. It really could not accept Wang Teng’s betrayal!
"Failure is not terrible, but he surrendered to his enemies. He is no longer qualified to be the emperor's successor!" Xianhe felt lost and sighed. All his years of training had gone to waste.

The Great Emperor Luan Gu was defeated hundreds of times but remained unyielding. His heart of Taoism was shattered, and he gave birth to a demon fetus. Finally, the demon fetus grew to maturity, broke out of its cocoon and was reborn, reaching the pinnacle with all his might!
Wang Teng surrendered after just one defeat, tarnishing the reputation of Emperor Luan Gu. He is not qualified to be the successor of Emperor Luan Gu!

Looking at the lost and regretful crane, Liu Shan's eyelids moved slightly and he approached the crane again.

"Senior Xianhe, my strength is much better than Wang Teng's. I want to try the test that he has not passed. I hope you can help me."

"The Luangu Sutra, do you also know it?" Xianhe did not reply to Liu Shan, but asked about the Luangu Sutra.

"Yes." Liu Shan did not hide it. He disdain to lie in front of the crane.

It’s just that Liu Shan got this imperial scripture from Wang Chong, and it has nothing to do with Wang Teng.

"Oh, let me go."

The crane was filled with disappointment and bewilderment at this moment. It had never expected that Wang Teng would not only reveal the inheritance land to this person, but also hand over the Ancient Scripture without reservation!
The crane remained silent, and Liu Shan did not interrupt it. After a long time, it finally sighed and said, "Since you have already obtained the Ancient Chaos Scripture, this trial ground is of little significance to you."

"If I can pass the trial, will I be able to meet Senior Luan Gu Axe? I would like to pay a visit to him."

After hearing what Liu Shan said, Xianhe came back to his senses instantly and stared at him fiercely.

Sure enough, this kid's ultimate goal is the Jidao Emperor's Ancient Axe!
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Xianhe wanted to refuse, but then he looked at Long Li behind Liu Shan, closed his eyes and sighed silently.

"Follow me."

Xianhe knew clearly that the Great Emperor's trial was definitely not something that an ordinary cultivator could pass!

Even if Liu Shan's cultivation is higher than Wang Teng's, his talent is stronger!

The successor of the Great Emperor Luan Gu needs more than just a strong talent, which is only the foundation. More importantly, it requires an indomitable spirit.

You must know that the Great Emperor Luan Gu became a demon after countless failures!

After going through all kinds of hardships, he emerged as a butterfly from his cocoon, and finally, with the ultimate leap, he killed all his opponents!

Although he knew that the final result would be enlightenment, his painful experience would be difficult for other monks to truly overcome if they were to go through it again.

Xianhe absolutely does not believe that Liu Shan can pass the final test!

Because Xianhe could see that Liu Shan also possessed extreme self-confidence, and since he could defeat Wang Teng, he must have the confidence that he was invincible!
Wang Teng, who had inherited the ancient tradition since childhood, had failed countless times! He knew the final result, but he just couldn't get through it.

This kind of trial is actually a bigger blow to the monks with higher talent and more confidence, and it is more difficult to pass it!
However, now that Liu Shan wants to try it himself and has the support of an ancient sage, Xianhe does not want to strongly oppose it.

Since the other party is definitely unable to pass the emperor's trial, and he has also obtained the Ancient Chaos Scripture, then if he wants to try, let him do it!
Xianhe felt that he had to keep his body useful and continue looking for a new successor for the emperor.

Led by the fairy crane, they drove the ancient chariot across the Gobi Desert and landed on a mysterious fairy lake with five-colored steam.

The crane looked at Wang Teng again, then flew down, spread its wings to disperse the misty fairy mist, stood on the fairy lake, and divine light emerged in its eyes.

In an instant, a mysterious gap gradually appeared in the Five-Colored Fairy Lake, and a portal emitting fairy light appeared.

As the magical portal opened, the crane looked at the people following it, then glanced at Wang Teng again. It sighed inwardly, and flew into the portal first.

Liu Shan followed closely behind and stepped in.

As soon as he entered the portal, Liu Shan felt a special feeling in his body, as if he had entered a fairyland. His mortal body had evolved, his whole body felt relaxed, and his entire soul had been sublimated.

The next few people also silently sensed the changes in their bodies, and their expressions became relaxed.

Inside the secret realm is an empty world, very vast, with lush vegetation, and various exotic flowers and plants everywhere. Fairy lights float freely in the sky, which is beautiful and dreamy, making people feel very unreal.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here, with flowers blooming and fairy beasts galloping." Yan Ruyu couldn't help but say.

"Fairy beast?" Liu Shan was very confused. He looked around again, but he didn't see it.

Everyone looked a little surprised. No one saw any fairy beasts, let alone any exotic flowers or plants.

Xianhe looked at the confused crowd and interrupted calmly, "Everything here exists between reality and illusion. Everything you see is a little different."

"This is an illusion created based on the real small world." After Xianhe's reminder, Long Li was the first to see through the reality.

After hearing what Xianhe and Longli said, everyone became alert.

"Don't worry, this is a place for training, and also a place for cultivation for the descendants of the ancient times. Except for the final trial site, other areas are safe." Xianhe was afraid that Long Li would misunderstand, so he hurried to explain.

After hearing Xianhe's explanation, everyone relaxed a little.

After walking through a forest with outstretched branches, the crane led everyone to a waterfall, and then stopped.

"The final trial site is ahead. If you want to receive the inheritance, you need to enter the waterfall."

"Inside is a separate small space. After the trial-taker enters, he sits cross-legged on the Taoist platform in the depths. He only needs to close his mind and he will fall into an illusion."

"Then the trial will begin. After passing various trials, you will be able to obtain the final inheritance of the Great Emperor!"

The crane explained seriously, fearing that a misunderstanding would cause Long Li to attack it. Now it was very afraid of death, and it needed to find another successor for the emperor.

After hearing what the crane said, Liu Shan looked at Wang Teng. After Wang Teng nodded slightly to confirm, Liu Shan hesitated for a moment and then flew directly into the waterfall.

After entering the waterfall, Liu Shan was shocked. Everything in front of him was beyond his imagination.
