Chapter 1105: Chapter 1079: An Astonishing Performance
“He’s been inside for over two hundred breaths, could it be he’s passed the second trial?”
“Incredible, no wonder he’s the first in disciple selection and received the Pangu Immortal Venerate’s distant legacy. He’s indeed passed the second trial.”
“It’s said that to pass the second trial, one needs absolute strength in the Golden Core Realm. To pass the second trial as an Inner Sect Disciple is outstanding. A bit more impressive, and one could qualify for the elite disciples. If he passes the third trial, he can directly be promoted to an elite disciple.”
“Yes, it’s astonishing that he’s passed the second trial having just entered the sect. Even in Jiuzhou Immortal Sect’s history, few have achieved this, right? Among this batch of Inner Sect Disciples, Tangyu is the first, isn’t he?”
“Can’t compare, sigh, I couldn’t even pass the first trial, barely lasted fifty breaths before losing. The gap is just too big to compare.”
As discussions erupted, it was clear Tangyu had once again beco the center of focus. It’s unsurprising, considering he’s shrouded with accolades and already quite renowned. Passing the second trial for Tangyu indeed seed perfectly logical. Failing the second trial would’ve been odd indeed.
Considering previous performances, Tangyu was already astonishing, so naturally, everyone’s expectations for him were high.
Zhuang Qian and Holy Sun shared a grin, both visibly delighted.
Xing Tian’s bright eyes flashed with resolute determination: “Brother Tangyu, you’re really impressive. I must use you as a model. Little Tian will work harder and never disappoint the Clan Leader and others.”
The dignified Elder stationed at the entrance seed slightly moved as he glanced at Tangyu before saying, “You’ve passed two trials, earning three rit Points. Bring your rit Stone here, and I will add them.”
Tangyu nodded, and with a slight movent, a token-like stone appeared in his hand. This rit Stone is unique to the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. It records the identity of sect disciples and their rit Points, akin to a bank card on Earth, making it very convenient to use.
Soon, the dignified Elder recorded the three rit Points onto Tangyu’s rit Stone and handed it back to him. Receiving the rit Stone, Tangyu bowed respectfully to the Elder, saying, “Thank you, Elder!”
Then, without resting or adjusting, Tangyu headed straight for the White Tiger Tower, clearly intending to conquer all four towers. Each tower possesses unique features and specific trials that cannot be missed.
Tangyu strode directly into the White Tiger Tower, and upon entering, he felt an imnse pressure surge towards him, enveloping him entirely, giving a sensation of being trapped in a mire. Eerie manifestations appeared, and scenes flooded in. The pressures of mind, will, and soul were fearso and overwhelming, akin to raging waves, causing a sensation of falling into the Nine Nether.
The White Tiger Tower tests one’s ntal fortitude, an area Tangyu has undergone considerable trials in.
Thus, facing this trial now is relatively familiar to Tangyu.
The rules in the White Tiger Tower are the sa as in the Azure Dragon Tower; each trial lasts for one hundred breaths, and enduring a hundred breaths counts as passing a trial.
A hundred breaths of ntal fortitude testing is extrely comndable.
Yet, ntal fortitude has always been Tangyu’s strongest attribute, even surpassing his physical strength. The first hundred breaths posed no significant challenge to Tangyu; he passed easily enough.
When the second hundred breaths arrived, the pressure increased twofold, becoming more ferocious, akin to frightening torrents, extrely daunting.
The second hundred breaths exerted imnse pressure on Tangyu, almost pushing him to his limit. However, having previously endured the trials of Shi Que Palace and Demon Lo Small World, Tangyu’s ntal fortitude had been honed exceptionally resilient. Thus, he managed to endure the second hundred breaths.
The second trial was finally passed. With the trial behind him, Tangyu quietly relaxed a bit, feeling a sense of accomplishnt. The possibility of challenging the third trial seed within reach.
With unwavering determination shining in his eyes, Tangyu bit his lip and declared, “Continue!”
The pressure of the third trial doubled yet again compared to the second. The second trial had almost pushed Tangyu to his limits; upon the third trial, he was imdiately pushed to his limits. Terrifying, truly terrifying, considering it’s the third trial. It nearly crushed him completely, as if a massive mountain had struck him down.
Nonetheless, Tangyu persisted, countering the force with a determined conviction, enduring an unimaginably arduous test.
What steadfastness Tangyu possesses, having faced countless dangers, overcoming every trial by a narrow margin. In this mont, Tangyu naturally won’t be vanquished by difficulties but will arduously move forward, sword breaking through.
Ten breaths, twenty breaths, thirty breaths.
Tangyu relentlessly persevered, repeatedly pushing against the limits, enduring each ti he overca them. Endless pain felt like falling into a cycle of reincarnation.
Forty breaths, fifty breaths, sixty breaths.
As the distance of a hundred breaths drew nearer, Tangyu still hadn’t fallen. His perseverance was unparalleled.
Seventy breaths, eighty breaths, ninety breaths.
With just ten breaths left, Tangyu’s body was teetering, on the brink of collapse, as if just a breeze could topple him over. His posture was hunched, almost curling into a ball.
“My aspiration lies not in heaven but in becoming an Immortal; nothing in this mortal world shall block my path. Break, break, break!” Tangyu’s mind shouted in a fit of hysteria, pushing past his limits. He endured the last ten breaths.
The third hundred breaths were finally completed, successfully passing the third stage.
“Phew—” Tangyu exhaled deeply after overcoming the third challenge. It wasn’t easy, truly not easy.
Passing the third challenge left Tangyu satisfied. The tempering of his mind and will was substantial, indeed a gratifying harvest.
Imdiately, the fourth challenge descended, and the pressure swiftly crushed Tangyu. He had no way to withstand it; the gap was too wide. Like a flood beast crashing into a small dike, it naturally couldn’t be stopped.
With just one encounter, he collapsed completely, and Tangyu withdrew. The third stage was indeed his limit.
Outside, things beca lively.
“Unbelievable, he’s actually lasted for three hundred breaths. Does that an Tangyu has already passed the third stage?”
“Indeed, he’s passed the third stage. It’s terrifying. Has there ever been a new disciple in the history of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect who breached the third stage of the White Tiger Tower directly?”
“I’m not sure. Anyway, I’ve never heard of it. It’s astounding. This Tangyu is definitely a peerless Evil Demon. It’s hard to say what kind of reincarnation he might be.”
“Invincible, truly invincible. It’s said that Tangyu cos from a third-rate small force, and his family is just ordinary people from that small force. Despite such humble origins, he exhibited an awe-inspiring performance, truly frightening and unimaginable.”
Zhuang Qian grinned: “Damn, brother Tangyu is truly going mad. This performance is too eye-catching.”
“Impressive, unmatched. We can only strive to catch up with him later.” Holy Sun remarked.
Zhuang Qian replied: “Alas, yes, completely unmatched. We will have to work doubly hard in the future. Otherwise, the disparity between us and brother Tangyu will be too great, and it’ll be embarrassing to walk alongside him.”
“Haha, I’m fine with it. I have thick skin anyway.” Holy Sun laughed.
Seeing the reactions of those outside, Tangyu couldn’t help but rub his nose, wondering whether he had been too flashy and high-profile. But—what does it matter? He had long been bold, and by now, it was no longer significant.
The solemn Elder guarding the White Tiger Tower regarded Tangyu with a sowhat surprised gaze. Successfully passing the third stage was indeed a surprising feat to him. This was the first ti he had encountered a newly admitted disciple who could directly break through three stages. This was indeed quite bewildering. He fully understood what passing the third stage ant. However, this falling upon Tangyu made him feel a bit more comfortable.
After all, Tangyu’s previous performance was already dazzling, and now it’s just adding another laurel.
The Elder guarding the tower said: “You’ve broken through three stages, earning seven rit Points. Bring your rit Stone over, and I’ll add them for you.”
Tangyu, naturally delighted, handed over the rit Stone, gaining another seven rit Points, making a total of ten with the previous three. Although not much, Tangyu was still quite pleased.
After securing the rit Stone, Tangyu continued onward, proceeding to the Vermilion Bird Tower, which tested a person’s comprehension abilities.
Upon entering the Vermilion Bird Tower, Tangyu felt as if he had been trapped in a closed cage. Surrounding the cage were several paintings, each depicting seemingly chaotic and bizarre images. At first glance, the aning of these images was unfathomable.
Upon closer inspection, the extraordinary nature of each painting beca apparent. Tangyu quickly realized that each painting contained its own Artistic Conception, its own doctrine and intrigue.
Evidently, the challenge was related to these paintings, likely requiring an understanding of the Concealed Artistic Conception and doctrine before passing. This was not only a challenge but also an opportunity for enhancent. Should one achieve enlightennt here, the benefits are undoubtedly significant.
Tangyu attempted to forcefully break open the walls, but found it impossible; there was no way to exit.
“The rules of the Vermilion Bird Tower differ from the Azure Dragon Tower and White Tiger Tower. Each stage is limited to a quarter of an hour; if a stage isn’t passed within this ti, it counts as a failure. In other words, these things must be comprehended within a quarter of an hour.” Tangyu muttered to himself.
