On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

The people murmured in disbelief, their faces reflecting their shock as they witnessed the unfolding scene on the screen.

The disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect found themselves in the dangerous red zone of the mystic realm, a perilous territory they had been traversing ever since their first day of entering this mystic realm.

After entering the mystic realm, some disciples got split, and some were lucky to stay in groups.

Chen Tian and Su Bingxin would have also followed suit if not for the ghost-faced mask. Consequently, due to the presence of the mask, Chen Tian and Su Bingxin were not separated within the mystic realm.

On the first day, the disciples of the immortal sect found themselves scattered across the green zone. However, this posed no threat to the Immortal Sword discipline, as they possessed a high cultivation level.

Unlike other participants hailing from the Tevat Continent, they did not engage in battles for treasure. Instead, they promptly made their way towards the red zone, guided by the maps provided to all the disciples.

It took them three days to reach the red zone at their current speed.

Once all the disciplines had gathered there, they proceeded to venture further into the red zone.

After two days of relentless battle against the savage beasts, they found themselves in the heart of the mystical realm, where the elements of fire and ice gracefully intertwined in an enchanting dance.

"Trial of Fire and Ice"

On top of a grand structure crafted from shimmering white jade and adorned with intricate carvings that depict the eternal struggle between fire and ice. Its majestic form rises into the heavens, its spires piercing the skies, symbolizing the power and beauty of the elemental forces it represents.

The awe-inspiring structure left onlookers outside the mystic realm astounded, for it was unlike anything they had ever witnessed before.

"Haha, we have finally found it! This means that the information we received was not wrong," the Sixth Elder exclaimed with a triumphant smile, as he gazed upon the Trial of Fire and Ice structure.

The Immortal Sword sect's disciples have successfully accomplished their mission of locating the ancient trial. The Sixth Elder expresses his satisfaction with the outcome, realizing that the information they had obtained was indeed accurate.

"So it is true..." Xu Zhiyuan gazed at the majestic structure, filled with awe, as a profound sense of reverence washed over him.

He marveled at the power and rich history embodied within it. In this era, how many individuals could stumble upon such a remarkable thing?

A trial of the ancients indeed!

In the annals of ancient times, there exists a tale that recounts the existence of ethereal beings known as immortals, who once traversed the mortal realms.

However, as fate would have it, this idyllic era ultimately succumbed to the clutches of a devastating war and ensuing chaos.

Regrettably, the passage of time has caused the knowledge surrounding these mysterious ancients to fade into obscurity, leaving no remnants of their world prior to the cataclysmic conflict.

Indeed, every trace of the era preceding the war has been ruthlessly erased from the very fabric of existence itself, erasing it from the annals of history.

The reason behind the war remained a mystery, yet it left behind remnants, mysterious artifacts, and trials that are now being discovered.

Whenever an object linked to the pre-war era is discovered, conflicts erupt, and numerous individuals are willing to perilously step forward in order to acquire it.

These findings serve as a perpetual reminder of the lost power and wisdom that were once possessed.

Fortunately for the Immortal Sect, they acquired information about the trial within one of their mystic realms, which they chose to keep a closely guarded secret. Being one of the mightiest sects on their continent, they possessed the audacity to challenge the trial and reap its benefits.

Aware of the inherent risks involved, Xu Zhiyuan remained steadfast in his belief that undertaking this trial would serve to bolster the power and influence of their sect. As his gaze fell upon the ancient trial before him, he couldn't help but ponder over the mysterious secrets it held within its depths.

'I hope everything goes as we predicted,' Xu Zhiyuan thought to himself as he gazed at another screen displaying the images of Chen Tian and Su Bingxin.

You may be wondering why he chose not to inform Chen Tian and Su Bingxin about the trial.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he had noticed that Su Bingxin's cultivation was at the Second Stage of the Qi Refinement realm, while Chen Tian's was at the First Stage, despite Chen Tian possessing the ability to wield Sword Aura and potentially bypass a minor realm and fight someone higher than him in cultivation.

Xu Zhiyuan was well aware that Chen Tian would be at a critical disadvantage when pitted against the other disciples of the Immortal Sword sect.

Moreover, the ancient trial they were about to face was a tough challenge, far from being a simple matter to handle.

....

Bang

"Huff, finally." Su Bingxin slowly opened her eyes and checked her cultivation.

After over two hours of cultivation, she finally reached the Third Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, filling her with delight at the progress she had made.

Tilting her head, she began searching for Chen Tian, eventually spotting him cultivating beside her.

Sensing the subtle movement, Chen Tian opened his eyes.

He smiled at Su Bingxin and said, "Congratulations on reaching the Third Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. You have made great progress."

Su Bingxin smiled back at him and replied, "Thank you. If you hadn't given me the Core Fruit, I wouldn't have been able to break through."

"It's my job; I am your partner, after all. We should support each other on our cultivation journey," Chen Tian said with a grin.

Su Bingxin blushed slightly and nodded, whispering, "Thank you..." She expressed her gratitude in a hushed tone, appreciating his support.

Chen Tian reciprocated with a smile and nodded affirmatively in reply.

"What do you want to do now?" she asked, her curiosity piqued regarding Chen Tian's plans.

They had spent five days within the Mystic Realm, dedicating more than half of that time to hunting beasts, yet the number of treasures they had discovered was disappointingly low.

"You'll probably think I'm crazy, but I've been contemplating venturing into the red zone," Chen Tian replied.

"Pftt, come on, seriously, what do you want to do?" She scoffed, assuming it was a joke, but Chen Tian met her gaze with unwavering determination.

Despite her initial disbelief, Su Bingxin realized that Chen Tian was serious about entering the red zone and anxiously awaited her response.

Su Bingxin's eyes widened in shock and concern. The red zone, known for being the most dangerous area in the Mystic Realm, was infamous for harboring ferocious beasts and presenting unpredictable dangers.

"You must be out of your mind! If we venture into that place, certain death awaits us," Su Bingxin exclaimed, her voice trembling with fear.

"Bingxin," Chen Tian approached her and gently taking hold of her hand. "Can you trust me and believe that we can travel the red zone together? I have devised a plan, and I truly believe we can triumph over it. Please, trust me."

She hesitated for a moment, her voice filled with uncertainty. "Are you certain this is a wise decision? It seems incredibly risky."

Chen Tian nodded, his confidence unwavering. "I understand the risks involved, but deep down, I sense there is something of great value within that zone. Moreover, I cannot bear to leave you behind."

Su Bingxin faced him, her expression softening. "Okay, I trust you. Let's do this together." She decided to trust him despite the risks involved and agreed to go with him into the zone.

"Good. Shall I carry you in my arms?" he said, in a playful tone.

Su Bingxin's face turned bright red from embarrassment at his suggestion. She quickly shook her head and replied, "N-No, thank you. I can walk by myself."

'Haha, how adorable!' Chen Tian laughed in his heart, seeing her reddened face.

"Then let's set off; we should be able to reach our destination by tomorrow."

"Um,"

With that, the two of them set out on their trip towards the red zone.
