The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 230 Extra: The Five Continents Alliance

The Xuanming Sect members spent the sunset of the Nine-Day Holy Sword Sect in Huangsha Prefecture.

I witnessed firsthand what the sacred land of the number one sword sect in the cultivation world truly is.

At the main gate of the Holy Sword Sect is a "Knocking Gate" with three thousand steps. No matter what kind of seeker of the Dao is, as long as they cross one thousand steps, they can become a disciple of the Holy Sword Sect.

However, knocking on the mountain gate is not as simple as one might imagine.

Chen Jinshu was surprised when he first met him.

The mountain gate is neither stone nor jade, yet it can conjure up many scenes, including the divine dragon, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, which are reflected in the night sky like a mirror.

Later, she heard from her senior brother from the Holy Sword Sect that the steps at the mountain gate had developed sentience, and that everything was just an illusion created by the spirit of the artifact.

Then, following her master Shui Huanmeng, she saw the sect's Ascension Cliff again.

A broken section of white jade ladder stands on the edge of the cliff, named: the Broken Heaven Ladder!

Legend has it that those who cross the Heavenly Ladder can become true immortals.

However, Chen Jinshu looked at the section of the Heavenly Ladder but couldn't see anything unusual about it.

The day before the Five Continents Alliance Grand Competition began, they were fortunate enough to hear a sermon in the Supreme Hall from the Holy Sword Sect, who was about to ascend to the Divine Lord level.

The main hall has no roof, directly exposed to the scorching, clear sky. The deity sits upright in the void of the main hall, his body imposing and his immortal bearing evident!

During this sermon, Chen Jinshu gained a clearer understanding of the principles he held.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will surely reach the Nascent Soul stage within fifty years.

……

Time quickly came to the day of the Five Continents Alliance.

Chen Jinshu, along with the Golden Core cultivators from various sects, stood on a thousand-foot-high bronze platform, preparing to enter the trial illusion.

When Chenshi (7-9 AM) arrives.

The Holy Sword Sect elder's sleeves fluttered, and nine array flags transformed into streams of light, disappearing into the clouds.

In an instant, the sky tore open a crack, and a vast galaxy poured down, swallowing up all the thousand Golden Core cultivators.

Chen Jinshu felt his feet sink into the ground, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a scorched battlefield.

"My master once said that although this trial is a personal experience, everything you see and encounter is an illusion. As long as you can keep your true self, you can pass the trial!" She looked at the blood moon hanging above her head and tried to calm herself down with her master's words.

The moment she took a step, she heard the roar of a demonic beast.

Just then, the ground beneath her feet suddenly trembled slightly, and dark red magma seeped from the cracks, bubbling with scarlet red.

"Level 1: Burning Heart Purgatory! The first ten players to clear this level will receive a random reward!"

The authoritative voice rang out, prompting Chen Jinshu and the other Golden Core cultivators to unleash their respective techniques.

After arriving at the Holy Sword Sect, the Xuanming Sect members learned about the new rules they had established: the Illusion Trial was divided into multiple stages, and only the top twenty who cleared each stage would receive rewards and points.

The points are tallied after all levels are completed to determine the top ten disciples, who will then receive further rewards.

These top ten disciples are extremely crucial, determining the top five sects in the cultivation world.

'Gagaga...'

Just then, a large number of red-eyed fire crows attacked Chen Jinshu from all sides, spraying towards her location like poisoned arrows.

'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!'

Chen Jinshu stroked the strings of the Green Jade Zither with his fingers, and the clear sound of the zither instantly swallowed up the cries of the crows.

"Duh——"

Jiji——

The music transformed into a large number of blue peacocks, bombarding the red-eyed fire crows.

The large number of red-eyed fire crows scattered in an instant.

"This fire crow is far too weak. It should just be an appetizer!"

The next moment, countless demonic lizards crawled out of the lava fissures, their scales churning with fiery poison, a reddish-black hue tinged with venom.

Before she could react, a voice that made her anxious rang in her ears.

"The first person from the Holy Sword Sect, True Person Purple Sword, has cleared the level!"

"Wow, that was fast! Only a short time has passed!"

Seeing a large number of demonic lizards emerging from the surrounding earth veins, Chen Jinshu twirled the beast-taming bracelet in his hand.

The Yinshan Sparrow transformed into a streak of green light and emerged from the bracelet.

"The Yinshan Tit teamed up and took care of them!"

She gave a command, pointed in mid-air, and her entire body instantly rose into the air, the Green Jade Zither radiating green light.

The ground, which was originally full of magma cracks, burst forth with a large amount of vegetation, which transformed into numerous spirit vines that coiled around the demon lizard.

'Awooooo—'

The demon lizard let out a series of roars.

The Yinshan Sparrow transformed into a blue-red phoenix shadow and soared into the sky with a long cry. Its wings stirred up a burning wind, and it attacked the surrounding demonic lizards like a tornado.

The massive number of lizard monsters were wiped out in an instant.

……

"The eighth True Person of the Xuanming Sect, Luanque, has passed the test!"

Chen Jinshu spent 15 minutes on this level. After the second wave of demonic lizards appeared, several more waves of demonic beasts followed.

However, she and the Yinshan Sparrow ultimately defeated it together. Holding the Green Jade Zither, her green robes fluttered, and she vanished from the spot in an instant.

Half an hour later.

Deep within the illusion, the fifth level.

A sheer cliff stretched across the road ahead, with nothing around it. Below the cliff was a surging sea of ​​thunder and lightning, with purple lightning coiling like dragons, a sight that stirred the heart and was quite awe-inspiring.

On the opposite cliff top, there was indeed a lone figure fighting alone—it was Leng Yan, a purple-robed swordsman from the Holy Sword Sect.

The longsword in her hand drew upon the Nine Heavens Thunder Sword, and she was engaged in a fierce battle with a third-tier peak Thunder Pattern Kui Bull!
The purple lightning sword transformed into numerous streams of light that darted around her.

As soon as Chen Jinshu landed on the cliff, he saw the astonishing figure on the opposite side of the cliff top and narrowed his eyes for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist, you've come at the perfect time!"

Leng Yan's eyes flashed like lightning, and the tip of her sword suddenly pointed at Chen Jinshu behind her.

Chen Jinshu showed a slight surprise upon seeing this.

I never expected to encounter other disciples during the illusionary trial; it's truly interesting.

A sense of battle began to stir within her.

She had long wanted to fight this purple-clad swordswoman and see who was stronger!
"Will you be able to see any other people during this illusionary trial in your sect?" she asked in a low voice.

"Of course not! Unless you desperately want to fight someone, it's possible to trigger the rules of the illusion and cause the two of you to appear in the same illusion."

"That possibility is extremely slim. I'm curious to know whether you want to fight me more, or I do!" Leng Yan replied coldly, her tone tinged with anticipation.

A sense of unease suddenly arose in Chen Jinshu's heart. He quickly took to the air and appeared on the opposite bank, opposite Leng Yan, in the next instant.

He swung the Dragon Blood Bone Whip from his hand with a backhand motion!

"Snapped!"

The dragon bone whip entangled an invisible shadow demon!

The Shadow Demon immediately revealed its true form, which turned out to be a merman-faced monster that looked remarkably similar to a human.

It is said that this demon is formed from the negative emotions of cultivators and devours spiritual consciousness. If one is not careful, one may be harmed.

With a slight exertion, the shadow demon instantly perished.

"You didn't even know there was such a shadow demon hiding behind you!" Chen Jinshu chuckled mockingly.

After killing the Shadow Demon, the bone whip in his hand gradually surged with murderous aura, and its malevolent energy became even more solid.

"I noticed it a long time ago!" Leng Yan's expression showed a slight surprise.

"Your whip technique is quite good!"

Leng Yan raised an eyebrow, "Do you dare to slaughter this Kui Niu with me?"

"I've heard that this Kui Niu is one of the opportunities left behind by our master, and only those with the right destiny can encounter it! You are quite lucky!"

"Why not?" Chen Jinshu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then laughed.

The two formed a battle formation in an instant.

The Cold Smoke Sword transformed into a shooting star, drawing thunderclouds as its blade, and the thunder roared throughout the entire sea of ​​thunder!

Chen Jinshu's bone whip whipped up numerous blades, slicing sparks across the surface of the Kui Niu, his face slightly furrowed.

The next second, she put away her whip and touched the Green Jade Zither with her other hand.

The breathtaking music of "Breaking the Formation" transformed into a multitude of weapons, directly locking down the Kui Niu and rendering it unable to move.

Leng Yan seized the opportunity and thrust his sword straight into the bull's eye!
Bang.

The Kui Niu collapsed to the ground with a loud crash.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate! You're very strong!" Leng Yan smiled faintly as she looked at the Thunder Pattern Heavenly Evolution Grass that had appeared in front of her.

Legend has it that consuming the Thunder Pattern Heavenly Evolution Grass grants one a law at the Nascent Soul stage, which is crucial for breaking through tribulations.

"Thunder Pattern Celestial Evolution Grass!"

Chen Jinshu blurted out, her tone tinged with excitement. This herb had long been extinct in the ancient records of Medicine King Peak, but she had heard her master mention it several times.

"Let's have a battle! Whoever wins gets to take this magical herb, how about it?"

"it is good!"

……

Five days later, the illusionary sky shattered with a deafening roar.

Fewer than three hundred survivors remained on the bronze platform, including several of Chen Jinshu's fellow disciples.

The Jade Purity Sect and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion suffered relatively few losses, but the Medicine King Valley's alchemists were almost all gone, and it is unknown what happened to them.

Immediately, the elders of the Holy Sword Sect loudly announced the names.

"Purple Sword Master of the Holy Sword Sect, ranked first in Illusion Realm Points!"

……

"The Luanque True Person of the Xuanming Sect ranks third in Illusion Realm Points!"

Shui Huanmeng, who was not far away, nodded with satisfaction.

"Third place is not bad! I got a decent reward! I also got the Thunder Pattern Heavenly Evolution Grass!" Chen Jinshu's eyes lifted slightly, revealing a bright smile.

"The tribulation-crossing realm will be unobstructed!"

The author's allocation of cultivation time in this book was not very reasonable, resulting in excessively long Qi Refining, a short Foundation Establishment, and an even shorter Golden Core stage, making the later parts more difficult to write. Therefore, it was hastily concluded, but Chen Jinshu's story is not gone. The epilogue will try to fill in the previous plot holes. Of course, the author will also make a cameo appearance in other Xianxia novels (the timeline is roughly that of a girl who appears later in the male protagonist's family and receives the inheritance of Jinshu, who has already ascended to immortality. The male protagonist's mother, Chen, carries the bloodline of Jinshu's family!). I wonder if everyone likes reading male-oriented Xianxia novels? The author has started a family-oriented Xianxia novel on a secondary account, and shamelessly invites everyone to collect and follow it! Note: The data for the newly started ancient romance novel is not very good; Xianxia is indeed more suitable for me. The author plans to seamlessly transition to a female-oriented Xianxia novel after finishing this one, and is already writing the outline and opening chapters. It is expected to meet everyone soon!
