Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 46: Before the Trial

At five o'clock in the morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Ocean Cloud City was just waking up. The people in the entire city seemed to be summoned by something, all heading towards various squares in the city.

And on these squares, huge frames like door frames had been prepared in advance. At this moment, the frames were already filled with water, and faintly visible in the water was a forested area.

"The annual Fixed Monster Valley trial is finally here!"

"Yes, I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

"Are there any good talents this time?"

"Immortal Ascension Academy has kept it secret. They said that last year, the seed quota was leaked in advance, causing a large number of businesses to flock to the academy, affecting the disciples' cultivation!"

"Although there are no quotas, there are still some rumors. It is said that there is someone named Yuan Qingming from the Yuan Family in the North Sea!"

"Why would a disciple from the Yuan Family in the North Sea come to Immortal Ascension Academy? Shouldn't they go to First Heaven Sect?"

"Maybe they weren't chosen by First Heaven Sect, hahaha."

"Be careful what you say!"

"Cough, cough!"

"A disciple from the Yuan Family in the North Sea is nothing special. I heard that there is also a disciple from the Guang Family in the South Forest participating in this year's Fixed Monster Valley trial!"

"The Guang Family is not often seen. I remember twenty years ago, there was someone named Guang Mu, known as the Guang Mu Heavenly King. He single-handedly killed fourteen ferocious beasts, shaking the entire Ocean Cloud!"

"You're outdated. Guang Mu broke through to the Qi Refining Stage and became an inner disciple four years ago!"

Jiangyun Hao also arrived at the water curtain with a woman.

The woman was only 1.60 meters tall, with a small face, but her figure was magnificent. Although she was wearing coarse clothes, her beauty couldn't be concealed, but not many people paid attention to her.

Ocean Cloud City was equivalent to Shanghai in the previous life, and with its developed economy, it naturally didn't lack beautiful women. But there was nothing more exciting than a competition.

She was none other than Mu Yunshan's lover, You Shi.

"You Shi, please have a seat!" Jiangyun Hao unexpectedly brought a chair, attracting the attention of countless people.

Many people slapped their foreheads. "Oh, right! Why didn't I think of bringing a chair!"

"I don't know why you didn't think of it. Who would have thought of bringing a chair? I've been watching here for over sixty years and have never seen anyone sitting on a chair!"

Jiangyun Hao had a black line on his forehead. No, isn't it standard to bring a chair when watching a show? How could he not even think of this?

But because of his reminder, many people actually went back to get a chair.

As a result, the two people who were originally not in the front row ended up in the front row.

"I don't really need to watch this," You Shi said.

"It's boring to always stay at home, isn't it?" Jiangyun Hao smiled. "Come out and get some fresh air, it can also help relieve stress!"

"Alright!" You Shi nodded.

"By the way, I can also observe the quality of the Immortal Ascension Academy disciples!" Jiangyun Hao thought to himself.

Senior Zhongli has always said that his talent for cultivation is not bad, but Jiangyun Hao was afraid that Senior Zhongli was just being polite. Now that he had Immortal Ascension Academy disciples to compare with, he could finally know his own level!

"I heard that there will be inner disciples coming to watch today!" someone said.

"Why would inner disciples come to watch this?"

"Who knows, after all, they are inner disciples. They can do whatever they want!"

"That's true."

On the other side, at the Immortal Ascension Academy square, the students participating in the Fixed Monster Valley trial had already formed a huge formation.

All second-year students were participating, while one thousand representatives were selected from the first-year students, along with their attendants, making a total of four thousand people.

A grand total of forty-four thousand people.

Behind forty-four thousand and four thousand people stands a white jade gate that is forty meters wide and sixty meters high. This is the entrance to the secret realm.

Fang Zhuo stood on the high platform in front of the square. An observation platform was built here overnight, with chairs on the platform in a purple-gold color, luxurious in design. This was prepared for the inner disciples.

Something very counterintuitive is that Extreme Eternal values blue and gold. Blue and gold are also the colors exclusively used by the powerful beings in the Extreme Eternal Sect's Spirt Law Realm. Inner disciples can also use blue and gold, but only one person, the senior disciple of the inner sect, known as the Extreme Eternal Sect Dao Child.

"Brother Yang, are you nervous?" Xun Hu asked.

"Why should I be nervous?" Yang Ning asked in return.

"This is the first time the tank is appearing in this world!" Xun Hu said. They thought the tank was a good thing, but others might not necessarily agree.

Especially this time, even inner disciples are participating in the Fixed Monster Valley trial.

"Stay calm!" Yang Ning chuckled. "It's good that they value us, but it's not a big deal if they don't. We didn't create this tank to sell it, but to survive the trial. Let's not confuse priorities!"

"That's true!" Xun Hu nodded. However, he thought that if the tank is so powerful, it would be a pity if they didn't achieve good results in the trial.

Yang Ning's mood was even better than Xun Hu had imagined because the inner disciples had already entered the city, but surprisingly, not a single person noticed the Cloud Mist Information Matrix around the people!

So the Cloud Mist Information Matrix could spread more boldly and not be limited to just Ocean Cloud City.

"They're here!" Deep Blue reminded.

Yang Ning restrained his smile and looked towards the east where a brilliant light was rising, accompanied by a surging pressure, rushing towards the square!

"What is this, the suppression of spiritual power?" Yang Ning was surprised. Qi Refining has absolute suppression over the Physical Body Realm. Even if a Physical Body Realm cultivator is a genius, it is difficult for them to resist a Qi Refining cultivator.

One reason for this is the suppression of spiritual power.

The suppression of spiritual power not only affects the physical body but also affects the mind, even causing people to lose their fighting spirit directly.

Without the will to fight, how can one defeat a strong enemy?

"Lin Tianheng!" Following the direction of the pressure, Yang Ning immediately saw Lin Tianheng!

Unlike the first two times he saw Lin Tianheng, when he was standing still, this time he was floating in the air, stepping on nothingness, and walking towards them!

Every step he took seemed to step on Yang Ning's heart, giving him an instant feeling of suffocation.

And this was just the aura he unintentionally emitted. If he deliberately targeted himself, Yang Ning believed that with just one step, his heart would explode and he would die!

"Peerless Divine Ability: Cataclysmic Origin Step!" Yang Ning, like everyone else, looked at the person with reverence, while instructing Deep Blue to carefully observe Lin Tianheng's posture from all directions.

He definitely couldn't learn it this way, but even if he could grasp a trace of its charm, it would be good.

Behind Lin Tianheng, Wang Yao and Wang Yi were still following him.

On his left, there was a young girl dressed in green with a jade flute at her waist. The girl had a melon seed face, willow leaf eyebrows, clear eyes like water, delicate features, and a hint of coldness on her face.

Behind the girl was the maid Yang Ning had seen before, the one who was with Lin Yuanxi last time.

So it was obvious that this girl was Lin Yuanxi herself. It turns out she looks like this.

On the right side of Lin Tianheng stood a tall man over two meters tall, wearing a magnificent white gold robe, but with a bald head. The man also had a string of beads on his wrist and looked like a monk or a member of some gang.

Perhaps the monks here don't have bald heads?

There were also several men and women standing beside the tall man, all of whom seemed to have high status. Yang Ning noticed a young man in purple clothes, who seemed to have glanced at him.

"This person is called Ming Yunxiu, a Qi Refining Sixth Layer talisman mirror cultivator. He should be the reinforcement that Fang Zhuo invited!" Deep Blue said.

"No wonder!" Yang Ning understood. Qi Refining Sixth Layer, that's two realms higher than Lin Tianheng.

When everyone reached the viewing platform, the inner disciples sat down while the attendants and maids stood behind them.

Seeing that everyone had sat down, Fang Zhuo quickly stood at the front of the platform and said loudly, "Everyone has seen it. This year's Fixed Monster Valley trial is different from previous years. Not only are there talented first-year students participating, but there are also inner disciples here to observe. So you must perform well. If you excel, the adults may not hesitate to reward you and even take you as their subordinates. This is a rare opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on all of you!"

Before the disciples below could make any bold statements, Fang Zhuo waved his arm and the white jade gate opened with a rumble. Then, with a command, forty-four thousand and four thousand people rushed into the gate, running or jumping.

"This gate teleports randomly. The four of us should hold hands and not separate!" Xun Hu shouted.

"Yes!" Yang Ning, Su Bai, Ning Rong quickly grabbed his arm. When the four of them rushed to the gate, their vision blurred, and when it cleared, they found themselves in a wilderness covered in blooming flowers!
