Chapter 3850

The Grand Perfection True Immortals of the Qi family did not participate, nor did they wear Chaotic Armor to challenge the trial, which gave many foreign guests a significant advantage.

"Mother, Yao'er and I want to try," Wang Qingbai sent a voice transmission to Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan nodded and said, "If you want to go, then go! Be careful."

The Wang family did not possess many Chaotic Armors; half were on Qinglian Island, and the other half were on the Chaotic Continent, so Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao did not have any. Wang Qingling did not participate, as she did not wish to reveal her divine abilities. Furthermore, since the Qi family offered a mid-grade immortal artifact as a reward, they would certainly dispatch their top cultivators to challenge the trial.

"Junior Niece Qin, Junior Niece Lu, Junior Niece Jiang, you should all go too!" Gao Shuhao instructed.

Jiang Yihai and two female cultivators acknowledged and walked towards the Hunyuan Pagoda. Over a hundred True Immortal cultivators challenged the trial, all of them in teams.

The Qi family dispatched five late-stage True Immortal cultivators to participate; all were sword cultivators, led by a slender young man in a blue shirt with handsome features. Wang Ruyan's face showed a curious expression; she had not seen this person at the gathering, which suggested he was a hidden power within the Qi family. The Qi family's Grand Ceremony for Golden Immortals, besides celebrating for Qi Tongguang, was likely also a way to pave the path for their younger generation.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, those young friends are cultivating a combined attack technique, aren't they? Their auras are quite similar," Gao Shuhao spoke, noting that combined attack techniques demand very high requirements from cultivators; only when their cultivation and aptitude are similar can the combined technique unleash its full power.

Qi Tongguang nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Gao has keen insight. Yi Lang and his group are indeed cultivating a combined attack technique."

"Fellow Daoist Qi is truly capable, managing to acquire a combined attack technique that even our Nine Immortal Sect does not possess," Gao Shuhao said meaningfully.

"I heard that the Li family on Cangli Island also possesses a combined attack technique. Could it be that the young friends from the Qi family are cultivating the Li family's technique?" Madam Yuzhu asked curiously.

"No, that's not it. We obtained this technique by exchanging the crystal nucleus of a six-colored Chaotic Beast at the Golden Immortal stage with another fellow Daoist," Qi Tongguang explained.

Gao Shuhao was half-skeptical but did not press further. The Qi family certainly possessed more than four Golden Immortal cultivators, and with the addition of a combined attack technique, it would be very difficult for the Nine Immortal Sect to suppress them, unless all of the Qi family's Golden Immortal cultivators were to perish.

Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao entered the first floor of the Hunyuan Pagoda, where a pattern of a one-colored Chaotic Beast was carved into the stone wall. Accompanied by a beast roar echoing through the sky, the stone wall suddenly brightened. The one-colored Chaotic Beast seemed to come alive, emerging from the wall and pouncing towards Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao. They dared not be negligent and quickly cast spells to attack the one-colored Chaotic Beast.

Wang Ruyan and the others watched quietly, observing that the higher the floor, the more powerful and numerous the illusory Chaotic Beasts became. The seventh floor featured three-colored Chaotic Beasts in beast-human form, the ninth floor contained two mid-stage True Immortal three-colored Chaotic Beasts, and the tenth floor had three three-colored Chaotic Beasts.

"Tsk, tsk, what a grand gesture. To refine a mid-grade immortal artifact, who knows how much Cloud Chaotic Jade that would require," Zhang Zhifeng's face was full of envy. Chaotic Beasts differ significantly from demonic beasts; to refine their spirits into treasures, a material called Cloud Chaotic Jade is required. This material is relatively rare, and in terms of value alone, Hunyuan Stones are far more precious than Cloud Chaotic Jade.

Less than half an hour later, Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao reached the ninth floor. Facing the attacks of two three-colored Chaotic Beasts, they struggled and were no match, yet they managed to stay on the ninth floor for over half a quarter of an hour. Most challengers couldn't even pass the seventh floor, so their performance was commendable. Without the protection of formations and Chaotic Armors, even multiple True Immortal cultivators working together would find it difficult to defeat a three-colored Chaotic Beast. Of course, they had many trump cards they hadn't used, as they were merely testing the strength of the Chaotic Beasts.

Qi Yilang and his five companions all wielded flying swords against their foes. They collectively unleashed five sky-piercing sword lights of varying colors, which merged into a single five-colored giant sword. This sword struck the late-stage True Immortal four-colored Chaotic Beast, cleaving it in two. Jiang Yihai and his two companions were also quite strong, and their skilled coordination allowed them to kill a late-stage True Immortal three-colored Chaotic Beast, successfully passing the trial.

This trial was destined to be a contest between the Nine Immortal Sect and the Qi family; other True Immortal cultivators were merely supporting roles. Wang Ruyan calculated that since Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao had stayed on the ninth floor for over half a quarter of an hour, they would have no problem making it into the top ten.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Qi Yilang and his five companions reached the eighteenth floor, where their opponent was a five-colored Chaotic Beast in beast-human form. Meanwhile, Jiang Yihai and his two companions reached the seventeenth floor, facing five four-colored Chaotic Beasts. Qi Yilang and his five companions all wielded multiple flying swords to attack the five-colored Chaotic Beast, while simultaneously employing the Law of Speed to evade it.

Jiang Yihai and his two companions did not have it so easy. Even with the protection of Chaotic Armors, the sheer number of Chaotic Beasts proved too overwhelming, and they were soon defeated. Qi Yilang and his five companions set up a sword formation, trapping the five-colored Chaotic Beast, and then activated the formation to slay it. Even when trapped by the sword formation, the five-colored Chaotic Beast was not easily defeated; it soon broke through the formation. Spiritual light then burst forth from the bodies of Qi Yilang and his five companions as their palms met, joining together, and they struck towards the void. A massive five-colored light sword swept out, striking the five-colored Chaotic Beast. As the five-colored Chaotic Beast was not a physical entity, it was not as resistant to attacks and was thus cleaved in half by the light sword.

Zhang Zhifeng's face was full of envy; if Qi Yilang and his five companions were to advance to the Golden Immortal stage, other Golden Immortal cultivators without Chaotic Armors would likely be unable to withstand one of their attacks head-on. Wang Ruyan's face showed a thoughtful expression. Wang Qiuting possessed excellent comprehension, and Wang Ruyan hoped that she would be able to deduce a powerful combined attack technique in the future.

Qi Tongguang and Qi Shuting displayed joyful expressions, while Gao Shuhao's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he remained silent. Qi Yilang and his five companions secured first place, receiving a mid-grade immortal artifact as their reward. Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao took tenth place, each receiving a bottle of first-grade immortal pills to enhance immortal essence.

The cultivators clinked glasses and chatted idly. Qi Yilang and his five companions also sat down and conversed with the other True Immortal cultivators.

"Madam Wang, I heard Fellow Daoist Wang is a True Spirit. If there's an opportunity another day, we would like to spar with Fellow Daoist Wang," Qi Yilang looked at Wang Ruyan and said sincerely. Lu Chuan was also a True Spirit, but as a disciple of the Nine Immortal Sect, injuring him would be difficult to explain. They wouldn't have this concern when sparring with Wang Changsheng.

Wang Ruyan nodded and agreed, understanding these were merely polite remarks to be revisited if an opportunity arose. Two hours later, the banquet concluded, and the guests gradually departed. Wang Ruyan also left with Wang Qingbai and the others, returning to Qinglian Island.

Upon returning to Qinglian Island, Wang Qingbai and the others went to their respective residences. Wang Ruyan summoned Wang Yongqian, handing her immortal medicines and fruits, such as the Hao Yue Immortal Fruit and Seven Flame Ganoderma, instructing her to store them in the family treasury for the family's immortal alchemists to use in pill refinement. She gave the Mirage Dragon's essence blood to Wang Mengli, telling her to consume it.

Wang Ruyan entered a secret chamber and sat cross-legged on a blue futon. She took out the Nine Spirit Immortal Fruit, her eyes burning with eagerness. She ate the Nine Spirit Immortal Fruit, and a powerful energy surged in her abdomen. She quickly circulated her cultivation to refine this energy. With the Nine Spirit Immortal Fruit and the Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricot, coupled with arduous cultivation, she had a certain chance of cultivating into a True Spirit.
