Chapter 1869: Final Assessment

Purple Moon Fairy sat cross-legged on the bluestone platform, her eyes vacant. She had been trapped for over half a year, and without outside intervention, her chances of escape were minimal.

Suddenly, the second floor, where she was, began to shake slightly. Purple Moon Fairy was momentarily stunned, then hope flickered in her beautiful eyes as she looked towards the green light barrier leading downstairs.

Boom!

Following a loud crash, the green light barrier shattered like a mirror, breaking into countless pieces. A sturdy young man in a blue robe suddenly appeared in Purple Moon Fairy's sight. It was Wang Changsheng.

“Junior Sister Tian, you really are here! Are you alright?” Wang Changsheng asked with concern, looking around.

Tears welled up in Purple Moon Fairy's beautiful eyes. She had believed herself trapped here to die, never expecting Wang Changsheng to come and rescue her personally.

“I’m fine, I was trapped by a restriction. This is True Monarch Gale’s immortal’s cave. It’s said that one must pass a test to inherit his legacy, and I was unknowingly caught in it.” Purple Moon Fairy recounted her experience, not daring to omit a single detail, fearing Wang Changsheng might suffer the same fate.

Wang Changsheng frowned slightly. True Monarch Gale’s legacy would indeed be difficult to obtain.

He flicked his sleeve, and a glittering golden metal orb flew out. He cast a spell, and countless runes lit up on the orb’s surface. With a mechanical whir, it transformed into a golden ape over ten zhang tall. The golden ape gleamed brightly, with a wide mouth and protruding fangs. The golden ape circled the second floor but found no abnormalities.

Wang Changsheng took out the Seven Stars Demon Slaying Blade and swung it at the void towards Purple Moon Fairy. A flash of blue light appeared, followed by a piercing whoosh. A misty blue blade energy swept out, instantly striking the green light barrier.

The green light barrier instantly shattered into pieces as if made of paper. Purple Moon Fairy was delighted to find she could use her magic power again and immediately flew towards Wang Changsheng.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Wang. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I might have died here.” Purple Moon Fairy expressed her gratitude, a mix of emotions swirling within her.

Wang Ruyan walked over and said, “Junior Sister Tian, it’s good that you’re alright.”

To be cautious, Wang Changsheng sent True Master Xuanling to explore the second floor. True Master Xuanling searched meticulously but found nothing. Wang Ruyan used her Black Phoenix Eye technique to observe, also finding no abnormalities. They entered the second floor, spreading out to search for an exit.

“It seems to be a combination of mechanisms and formations,” Yang Fengming said, pointing at a stone wall. “Activating the mechanism triggers the formation. Even with a rare treasure, it would be difficult to detect the restriction.”

“A mechanism!” Wang Changsheng curiously looked at the stone wall Yang Fengming indicated. His vast divine sense swept over the wall, but he found nothing unusual.

“I triggered the restriction by standing on the platform,” Purple Moon Fairy said, her brow furrowed. “I don’t know what kind of test True Monarch Gale mentioned.”

Wang Changsheng’s heart stirred, and he controlled a puppet beast to walk onto the platform. Nothing unusual happened; the platform did not sink.

Just then, dense runes suddenly appeared on the ground. The entire Gale Tower shook violently, and blinding spiritual light erupted from beneath their feet, engulfing all their figures. Wang Changsheng and Purple Moon Fairy were standing relatively close, and a blinding green light enveloped both of them.

Wang Changsheng felt a slight dizziness. After it passed, he opened his eyes to find himself in a spacious, brightly lit hall. On the stone wall was a mural depicting True Master Gale battling a group of green flood dragons. Purple Moon Fairy stood beside Wang Changsheng, her face full of wariness. Seeing Wang Changsheng next to her, she let out a long sigh of relief.

The hall was empty, with no other cultivators and no other exits.

“The trial begins. You have half a quarter of an hour to defeat the illusory demons. Failure means death. Only the strongest cultivators can obtain my legacy,” a chilling male voice suddenly announced.

No sooner had the voice faded than the flood dragons on the stone wall seemed to come alive. After a deafening dragon roar, nine massive green flood dragons flew out from the wall, charging towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng reacted swiftly, swinging the Seven Stars Demon Slaying Blade at one of the green flood dragons.

Boom!

With a dull thud, sparks flew. Wang Changsheng felt a tremendous force strike him, sending his body flying backward. Among the nine flood dragons, one was a fifth-tier dragon, and the remaining eight were fourth-tier. It was unknown where True Master Gale had acquired so many flood dragon souls.

The eight fourth-tier flood dragons lunged at Purple Moon Fairy. She simultaneously summoned her Golden Turtle Shield to defend and unleashed a magic treasure to attack them. With a series of clanging thuds, the magic treasure struck their bodies, producing muffled sounds. The eight flood dragons crashed into the Golden Turtle Shield, sending it flying backward, along with Purple Moon Fairy.

Before Purple Moon Fairy could regain her footing, a whooshing sound pierced the air. Eight thick dragon tails descended from above, striking towards her. If she were hit by all eight, Purple Moon Fairy would surely not survive. At this critical moment, eighteen streaks of blue light shot forth. They were eighteen glistening blue Ocean Stabilizing Orbs, which spun and transformed into a pale blue water curtain, enveloping Purple Moon Fairy. The eight thick dragon tails struck the blue water curtain, which instantly caved in but quickly returned to normal.

An ear-splitting whoosh filled the air as dense blue blade energy swept out, striking the nine flood dragons. Only a series of clanging thuds could be heard, and sparks flew everywhere.

Wang Changsheng cast a spell, and ripples spread through the void. Countless blue light particles appeared out of thin air, instantly forming a vast azure ocean with towering waves. The seawater quickly filled the entire hall. The nine green flood dragons felt their bodies weigh tens of thousands of pounds as immense pressure squeezed them from all directions. Innumerable thick blue water ropes shot out from the sea, coiling around the bodies of the nine green flood dragons.

“They are formed from the spirits of demon beasts,” Wang Changsheng said coldly. “After so many years, it’s already good if they can unleash two-tenths of their original power.”

Wang Changsheng’s voice was cold as he swung the Seven Stars Demon Slaying Blade at the void.

Boom!

The void vibrated and distorted. Hundreds of blue blade energies swept out, accurately striking the nine flood dragons. The bodies of the eight fourth-tier flood dragons instantly exploded, turning into specks of spiritual light and vanishing. The massive body of the fifth-tier flood dragon twisted ceaselessly, but the dense blue water ropes relentlessly bound its body.

Wang Changsheng changed his spell, and the seawater violently churned, forming a massive whirlpool that swallowed the green flood dragon. The green flood dragon struggled fiercely, letting out an angry roar, and the whirlpool suddenly exploded. A figure suddenly appeared before the green flood dragon. It was Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng swung the Seven Stars Demon Slaying Blade, chopping at the green flood dragon. An agonizing roar filled the air, and sparks flew. The green flood dragon was cut in half by Wang Changsheng, turning into specks of spiritual light and disappearing.

Wang Changsheng felt his vision blur, and suddenly he appeared in an even grander hall. Directly in front of him stood a massive humanoid statue, which was none other than True Monarch Gale. Purple Moon Fairy stood beside Wang Changsheng, her beautiful eyes scanning around. From time to time, spiritual light flared, and Wang Ruyan and the others successively appeared in the hall.
