The Against Heaven

Chapter 14: Sect Exams (3)

“Hmmph, entering the Heart Chaos Forest? What can that trash accomplish?”

On the outskirts of the forest, a deriding conversation begins again.

Another disciple voiced another thought: “In the last exam, Senior Xu managed to reach level five of the forest. Now that he had reached the Heaven's Mandate and started preparing to cultivate at the Warrior Canopy stage, his cultivation and determination were much stronger than before. I estimate he can reach the seventh level. ”

****************

The stages for cultivators were as follows: Palace Foundation, Palace Expansion, Physical Accumulation, Temporary Palace, Inner Longevity, Heaven Commission, Warrior Canopy, Purified Rebirth, Heaven Primal, and Soul Creation.

Once one reached an unbeatable stage and received the Will of Heaven, he would be nicknamed an Immortal Emperor.

There was nothing immortal in this world, so one might ask, why was there an emperor for an immortal? Why does this title exist? It was because of the saying, my fate is mine alone, it does not depend on the heavens to decide.

The will of Heaven serves as a bondage and covers and traps all living beings. Once a cultivator reached the peak, their goal was to control Heaven's Will so that they would eventually be released from this prison.

This was why one would be called an Immortal Emperor once they obtained the Will of Heaven. However, no one really knows whether true immortality is possible, this remains a mystery to this day.

Each generation only had one Heaven Will, so each generation could only have one Immortal Emperor.

****************

The Heart Chaos Forest was where the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect assessed a disciple's innate talent, affinity for cultivation, and willpower. Here, the most important quality is one's willpower.

The forest consists of fourteen levels. From an outside perspective, there was no stark difference between this and ordinary forests. However, this seemingly normal forest was created by the Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon.

Intruders will be shown realistic illusions. Even those with mystic eyes could not see through this technique unless they were stronger than the Paragon of the Nine Saints. Otherwise, this technique would become a reality for everyone who stepped in.

For example, a person may find themselves trapped in a sea of fire. Their bodies would feel as if they were completely trapped and the mind would clearly feel pain. The higher the level, the stronger the illusion.

Of course, you can still use cultivation techniques to reduce pain and merit laws to prevent fire from reaching your body. The only thing is that you cannot escape from the forest using any movement technique.

“Little idiot, fast login!” Outside the forest, Xu Hui smirked in disdain towards Li Han Tian. He believed that with his current ability, there would be no problem to enter the eighth level.

Li Han Tian looked into the forest and grinned slightly. That year, the old chicken created its own Heart Chaos Forest, it was indeed a great location to test one's resolve.

“I?” Li Han Tian clearly spoke: “Crossing the Heart Chaos Forest means nothing to me. If I go in, you won't even have a chance to show your worth. You have to go first so that later, you can't say I didn't give you a chance. ”

Li Han Tian's arrogant comment made everyone shudder in disdain once again. Protector Mo and Nan Huairen wanted to lock his mouth forever. Would he die if he said fewer sentences ?! How could he spout out lies all the time.

Protector Hua exclaims: “Idiot!”

“You are just a piece of trash that does not know what will it take to cultivate, yet you still run your mouth without shame.” Xu Hui did not believe that ordinary humans looked down on him and frowned: “Good, good, strong words! I have to see how many levels you can pass. ”

“How much level? How meaningless, passing fourteen was no big deal at all. ” Li Han Tian continued: “That's why I let you go first, so you won't be so surprised!”

Another disciple could not bear it anymore and shouted: “Did everyone from the Heaven Sect lie like you without hesitation?”

Everyone knew that passing level seven of the Heart Chaos Forest was considered an incredible feat for the younger generation. In order to complete level seven, one must have a strong determination or a high cultivation.

Even the calm Grand Protector Yu He could not help but shake his head. Why was Li Han Tian the main disciple of the Heaven Sect? Passing through fourteen levels? Is it that easy? Even he could not pass through the fourteenth level at his current level.

“Fourteen levels?” Xu Hui laughed out loud: “If you can get through the fourteenth level, I will call you ‘Dad’!”

“Good, if you are this confident with your mouth, would you dare to bet?”

Li Han Tian happily smiled and asked: “ Bet, right? What are we going to bet on?”

“If you can pass through the fourteenth level, I will voluntarily admit it! If you can't, then you should crawl under my feet.

This bet caused Protector Mo and Nan Huairen's expressions to darken instantly. This was not a test, it was an intention to humiliate Li Han Tian and the Heaven Sect. However, they could only shake their heads dejectedly, Li Han Tian brought this upon himself.

Li Han Tian asked: “Are you going to do the same if I pass the fourteenth level? You're gonna crawl under my feet, right? ”

Protector Hua interrupts: “If you can pass the fourteenth level, he will do it and vice versa!” Due to Du Yuanguang's murder, Protector Hua wanted to kill Li Han Tian with his bare hands. Since his chance was not right, the best thing he could do was to humiliate Li Han Tian.

Li Han Tian looked back at Protector Hua and then officially nodded his head: “Alright, if this is your condition, I will accept it!”

The disciples of the Nine Saint Demon Gate all shouted loudly: “Senior Xu, destroy him! Accept stakes!”

Xu Hui coldly replied: “I will wait for you to crawl at my feet.”

He then turned around and went to the Heart Chaos Forest.

A disciple laughed out loud: “This time, the Heaven Sect will lose face. Their main disciple must take such an action! Ha ha!”

Xu Hui took his first step into the forest. The environment soon became dark. He found himself in the demon world, an area that spanned ten thousand miles. Demonic energy filled the air. The sound of crunching bones could be heard even before the corpses began to leave the ground.

Xu Hui took a breath and calmed himself. He channeled his energy and strengthened himself with his cultivation while strengthening his resolve. He ignored the demons and passed them easily.

“First level!” Everyone outside was carefully watching without blinking. Without any complications, Xu Hui managed to pass the first level.

“Second level, third level ..”

Xu Hui was definitely not an ordinary person, his cultivation and determination were excellent. His speed in breaking through the first three levels was indeed extremely fast.

However, at the fourth level, his speed began to slow down. The Silver Skeleton King Fierce began to attack him. At first, he chose to dodge and fend it off, but after his hand was smashed, making him scream in pain, he used his body to crush it. He had a silver body that warded off invaders on its own. However, this consumes a lot of energy.

Once he reached the fifth level, he was completely surrounded by skeletons. He loudly roared and summoned his defensive artifact. His magic sword flew straight into the sky, its blade spewing out true energy. This form of energy consisted of the dao of truth and conquered the four directions.

His red-red life wheel appeared behind his head and emitted a blood energy that encompassed the sky. It used a law of unparalleled strength that destroyed everything in the surrounding area.

Cultivation techniques that allowed one to use their life wheel as an offensive tool were often more powerful than certain physical techniques. This life wheel technique specialized in the destruction and abandonment by Virtuous Paragons. It was not a paragon level, but it was still quite formidable. [2. Physical formation techniques were another cultivation method; they specialized in strengthening the body, which was why his arms were broken several times. His life wheel makes it up for him.]

Li Han Tian slightly shook his head when he saw Xu Hui killing his way through the fifth level. Forest Chaos Heart — if your heart is chaotic, then killing will only increase uncertainty and worsen the illusion. The goal of the Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon was to train the will of his students, not their physical or combat strength.

“Level seven.”

Xu Hui annihilated his path to the seventh level, making all the spectators amazed.

Even Protector Hua was satisfied. Xu Hui was his disciple and pride. Although Xu Hui's talent could not be compared to Li Shuangyan and his strength was lacking against Leng Chengfeng, his progress today had delighted his master.

“Bang!” Xu Hui had just reached the seventh level, but his strength had been exhausted. He could no longer handle the pressure of the Heart Chaos Forest and was immediately put away.

“A little more ..” After the forced expulsion, Xu Hui took a while to regain his consciousness. He could not help but shout out his regret. He thought that he could at least reach level eight, but he had underestimated the difficulty of the Heart Chaos Forest.
