Chapter 424: A Thousand and Eight Years of Attempts

Upon Zhao Xing’s inquiry, Yuan Qiusheng responded humbly. He cupped his hands and said, “I dare not advise a fellow Daoist; I can only offer my shallow insights on passing the trials.”

Zhao Xing immediately returned the salute. Among the Ego Sect Agriculturists, those dedicated to farming and those focused on combat had vastly different temperaments. They were close to nature, non-contentious, and generally very gentle people. In their eyes, all life was treated equally.

Yuan Qiusheng explained, “The first trial set by Senior Zuo Qiyu, the Primordial Emissary, in his Primordial City, is called ‘Boundary River’. It is the moat outside Primordial City.”“Only the strength of a straw avatar is permitted; no magical artifacts or talismans may be brought.”“The conditions of the Boundary River are similar to areas beyond 100,000 miles in the Primordial Ocean. The attacks are multi-layered. When crossing the river, one will endure physical attacks, spiritual attacks, soul attacks, and Dao technique attacks.”“Brother Han and I assessed that to cross the Boundary River, a straw avatar must possess at least peak Five-Elements Dao Domain strength and be adept at defense.”

Han Qianye nodded slightly, acknowledging Yuan Qiusheng’s assessment.

Zhao Xing mused, “If it’s merely that level, it wouldn’t cause so many people to be stuck at this stage, unable to even enter the city gates.”“Brother Yuan, are there other difficulties?”

Hearing this, Yuan Qiusheng, Han Qianye, Fairy Youling, and Daoist Miaosong were all slightly surprised. Straw avatar techniques were notoriously difficult to learn in the Ego Sect. Despite the multitude of geniuses present, only Yuan Qiusheng and Han Qianye had cultivated their straw avatars to possess ‘peak Five-Elements Dao Domain’ combat power. These two were the only ones who had cleared the first trial. For Zhao Xing to say this, did it not imply his own straw avatar technique had reached such a level? Everyone was uncertain whether Zhao Xing was boasting or simply commenting on the trial.

After a pause, Yuan Qiusheng continued, “Speaking solely of this trial, although challenging, it wouldn’t stump so many geniuses.”“However, after crossing the Boundary River, straw avatars will invariably sustain various damages. And afterwards, it’s impossible to recall them for replenishment or repair.”“Therefore, even if one manages to clear the first trial and enter the city gate, they will still fall before the second trial, the ‘Great Void Trial’.”

“What is the Great Void Trial?” Zhao Xing inquired.

“I don’t have a deep understanding of the second trial; Brother Han should provide the explanation,” Yuan Qiusheng replied.

Everyone turned their gaze to Han Qianye, who pondered, “The Great Void Trial means that the moment you enter, you will be swallowed by a void rift.”“Currently, no one has escaped.”“Those who have attempted the second trial report varied experiences. Some claim that upon entry, they appeared in a lightning prison devoid of spiritual energy.”“Some said they were lost in endless illusions, as if experiencing reincarnation.”“Others were torn apart by chaotic void currents the instant they entered.”“In summary, no one has even discerned what the second trial, ‘Great Void’, is truly testing. Since the rules are unclear, naturally there have been no successful attempts.”

Zhao Xing nodded. It seemed everyone was halted by the second trial. The best result was merely crossing the Boundary River. Yuan Qiusheng and Han Qianye offered no further information, having evidently shared all they knew. Zhao Xing also asked no more questions, instead quietly contemplating.

“Just like in my previous life, Zuo Qiyu’s trials are still the Boundary River and the Great Void Trial.”“I merely wonder if the content has changed, given that I entered the Primordial Realm much earlier. And Zuo Qiyu himself later advanced to the demigod realm.”Zhao Xing actually didn’t know much about Zuo Qiyu, as he never encountered the true self of this grand master. This individual was elusive, and in his previous life, he hadn't learned any of the Void Ancestor series straw avatar techniques. In Zhao Xing’s impression, Zuo Qiyu truly had no disciples. However, at this point in time, Zuo Qiyu was not as powerful or aloof as he later became. At the very least, Zuo Qiyu still held the title of Primordial Emissary and would attend to specific affairs. The Five Poisons Emperor even managed to provoke Zuo Qiyu to anger on one occasion.

“Anger implies he still possesses humanity,” Zhao Xing thought to himself. “If it were the entirely detached Zuo Qiyu, then learning straw avatar techniques from him would be impossible; limited-edition straw avatar techniques would become truly unobtainable.” In his previous life, Zuo Qiyu’s straw avatar techniques appeared on players’ detection panels, yet his presence was like a non-sale item displayed in a store, merely for viewing. Players racked their brains but couldn't learn them. Zuo Qiyu’s favorability would reach a certain level but then stubbornly refuse to increase further, ultimately remaining unattainable.

“Regardless, I’ll try it and see. Solutions are always devised by people.” Many shared this thought. It was impossible to retreat simply because of difficulty; one had to try first.

Soon, Han Qianye was the first to stand, saying, “Everyone, I seem to have gained some insight and wish to verify it in the Great Void Trial. Is there any fellow Daoist who wishes to accompany me?”

Daoist Miaosong opened his eyes and immediately agreed, “I also just had some insight. Let us go together.”

“I haven’t gained anything new, so going now would be pointless. I’ll wait here for your good news,” Yuan Qiusheng stated.

“Me too,” Han Chuchen nodded.

As for Fairy Youling, she remained in meditation, her eyes unopened. Clearly, she had no intention of attempting the trial at present.

“I’ll go try as well,” Zhao Xing interjected. “I haven’t attempted it yet, so it will be a good opportunity to broaden my horizons.”

So, Zhao Xing, Han Qianye, and Daoist Miaosong left the pavilion together and flew towards the moat outside the city.

Though few people were present, there were many straw avatars. Regardless of whether one belonged to the Ego Sect, straw avatar techniques were among the essential skills. Even if not for combat, they were useful for odd jobs or reconnaissance. Thus, by the Boundary River, various straw avatars had gathered in groups, continually attempting to cross.

“More people than a few days ago,” Daoist Miaosong clicked his tongue. “Those with points don’t attempt trials, yet so many people come to Primordial City where no points can be earned.”

“Those who can enter the Primordial Realm are all exceptional individuals, and this generation of geniuses far surpasses previous ones. They all relish challenging high difficulties to prove themselves,” Han Qianye remarked.

Zhao Xing strongly agreed. This generation comprised too many reincarnated powerhouses. In their original nations or factions, they were either rulers or founders of great families. In a certain era, they might have experienced phases of invincibility, creating miracles, and achieving what others could not. Zuo Qiyu’s trials were reputed to be difficult, with no one able to pass them? This only served to pique the interest of such individuals.

“Brother Han, Brother Zhao, which straw avatar will you use this time?” Daoist Miaosong asked as the three landed on a reef by the river.

“I’ll try the Colossal Cauldron straw avatar and the Primordial Yang straw avatar,” Han Qianye said.

“I’ll use the Sky Demon straw avatar and the Antarctic straw avatar,” Daoist Miaosong stated.

Both were referring to straw avatar fusions, which corresponded to the lower three chapters of the Void Ancestor series inheritances: ‘Pure Yang, Heavenly Yang, and Colossal Yang’.

“I’ve cultivated the Colossal Yang straw avatar, but I haven’t yet integrated many techniques into it,” Zhao Xing explained.

Daoist Miaosong and Han Qianye did not inquire further, simply nodded, and began casting their spells. Soon, various straw avatars appeared around them, commencing their fusion. The straw avatar technique was widely popular due to its extensive room for improvisation. Especially through multi-technique fusion and different material combinations, many unique straw avatars with personalized characteristics could emerge. After Daoist Miaosong and Han Qianye cast their spells, numerous phenomena appeared around them: some straw avatars had a layer of treasure light protecting their minds, others were enveloped by an aurora with crescent moons circling, and some fused to become the head of a great demon with a human body. In contrast, Zhao Xing only had an ordinary-looking Colossal Yang straw avatar.

The three began their crossing at different times. Zhao Xing started earliest, Daoist Miaosong latest, and Han Qianye in between. However, during the river crossing itself, the situation changed. Zhao Xing, surprisingly, moved the slowest and was quickly overtaken by Han Qianye, who became the fastest to cross. By the time Daoist Miaosong surpassed Zhao Xing, Han Qianye was already nearing the shore.

*Clang, clang!*

In the middle of the river, Zhao Xing’s body was impacted by waves, and a bell-like echo resonated from inside his straw avatar. The sound permeated his entire body, and his vision began to distort. The waves, in Zhao Xing’s perception, also became extremely strange, as if countless tiny insects were drilling into his body.

“Interesting,” Zhao Xing paused to meticulously comprehend.

When Daoist Miaosong saw Zhao Xing stop, he couldn't help but inwardly think: “It seems the demigod disciple lacks talent in straw avatar techniques. He’s halfway there and can’t continue.”“He was boasting earlier. I wonder how he even got noticed.”Stopping halfway, unable to persevere? Clearly, it would be difficult for him to pass the first trial.

*Splash!*

A tidal wave struck.

“Not good!” Daoist Miaosong immediately refocused, as his goal this time was to pass the first trial without any damage. He instantly exerted full control over his straw avatar.

The wave passed through his faintly purple-glowing straw avatar. One of his straw avatar clones, encircled by the moon and resembling a dragon’s head, immediately dimmed and stiffened on the water. Another Antarctic straw avatar, treading water, moved with extreme flexibility, attempting to fly over the crest of the wave. However, just as it took flight, thunder erupted over the Boundary River, striking down as if locked onto it. The Sky Demon straw avatar, drenched by the waves, froze in place. The Antarctic straw avatar was charred.

“Antarctic Rebirth, complete transformation!”“Sky Demon’s Protection, impervious to all spells!”

A smaller straw avatar emerged from within the Antarctic straw avatar, while the Sky Demon straw avatar shook, flicking off the minute water droplets clinging to its body.

Zhao Xing, who had been engrossed in comprehension, couldn't help but glance at Daoist Miaosong’s spellcasting. “He possesses some skill; the Antarctic Rebirth and Sky Demon’s Protection are not easy divine abilities to master.” Daoist Miaosong’s straw avatar technique was very flashy; at least on the surface, Zhao Xing considered it quite good.

“However, he lost 20% of his spiritual energy, and his spiritual sense strength also dropped by one level. I wonder if his straw avatar’s body sustained any damage.” If Daoist Miaosong’s aim was to pass without injury, he had clearly failed this attempt and should ideally restart. Yet, he was evidently not as meticulous as Zhao Xing. After overcoming the Boundary River’s massive wave impact, Daoist Miaosong continued onward, reaching the shore and entering the city.

Meanwhile, Han Qianye’s straw avatar, upon reaching the shore, split into sixty-four, transforming into sixty-four individual straw avatars that then entered the city. “Straw avatar techniques within straw avatar techniques… Han Qianye’s mastery is also exceptionally high.”“Looking back dozens of Primordial Gatherings, there weren’t so many proficient in straw avatar techniques. Now, everyone’s straw avatar techniques are remarkably adept.”

On the Boundary River, countless straw avatars displayed their unique abilities. Some parted the waters to cross, some skimmed over the water, and some leaped and wove through. Only Zhao Xing, in a straightforward manner, enlarged his body and waded through the river, traversing it physically. The method was primitive, utterly devoid of any technique; it was simply a brute-force push through.

*Splash!*

The Colossal Yang straw avatar swung its arm and took another large stride forward. Zhao Xing’s pace was extremely slow, like a crawling tortoise. Those passing by were unimpressed. Who would use such a clumsy method to clear a trial? It entirely contradicted the reputation of a disciple of an ancient god.

“Zhao Xing’s approach is truly… grounded,” Yuan Qiusheng watched, finding it somewhat peculiar. It was akin to the world’s foremost martial artist employing a donkey roll move in a fight, which didn’t quite align with their expectations of Zhao Xing.

“Indeed, Brother Zhao certainly doesn’t take the usual path,” Han Chuchen nodded.

“Daoist Miaosong is on his second attempt, and Han Qianye is on his third, but he still hasn’t reached the shore,” Fairy Youling opened her eyes and gazed at the Boundary River. Half a year had passed, yet Zhao Xing had only just managed to get ashore.

*Splash! Bang!*

The Colossal Yang avatar finally reached the shore. At this moment, Han Qianye and Daoist Miaosong had also just come ashore. However, they no longer dared to underestimate Zhao Xing’s method of crossing the river. Because, in their perception, Zhao Xing’s Colossal Yang avatar showed no reduction in spiritual energy, its fundamental structure remained unchanged, and there was no trace of spell materials being consumed. Only his spiritual sense had slightly decreased, but it was almost indistinguishable from half a year ago.

“Passed the first trial without injury?”“His Colossal Yang straw avatar’s defense can actually reach such a level!” Daoist Miaosong exclaimed in surprise.

“Such exquisite control,” Han Qianye observed something different. “Spiritual energy cannot possibly not be consumed, yet he used this method to slowly cross the river, and after consumption, he recaptured it and absorbed it back into his body.”“If he doesn’t cast spells, spiritual energy won’t rapidly dissipate in the waves – no, there must be something else.”“I feel this straw avatar of his has a sense of profound vitality?”

Han Qianye watched Zhao Xing for a while, ultimately resisting the urge to ask questions. After all, they weren’t very close, and this might involve someone else’s cultivation secret. Asking too much would be presumptuous. He merely greeted him: “Brother Zhao has impressive strength.”

Back then, Han Qianye ranked in the top ten in the final trial, while Zhao Xing only won one round, placing around 80th. Now, he acknowledged Zhao Xing as someone on the same level.

“Brother Han exaggerates,” Zhao Xing cupped his hands. He didn’t rush into the city but began inspecting the Colossal Yang straw avatar’s body. Daoist Miaosong and Han Qianye, however, entered the city once more.

“The spiritual energy consumption isn’t great, but the Boundary River’s erosion still caused some minor internal damage to the straw avatar’s body,” Zhao Xing tried to absorb spiritual energy from the soil, but he couldn’t replenish any. “Unable to absorb spiritual energy, so unable to repair. Never mind, the problem isn’t too big. This is my first attempt, so I’ll just probe the reality first.”

As soon as he entered Primordial City, Zhao Xing saw a black space-time rift appear. Then, he found his Colossal Yang avatar in a sealed space. “Unable to resist, everything happened too fast,” Zhao Xing reflected. “My soul strength only allows me to sense events one-thousandth of a second ahead. Faster than that, I can’t sense them, and Zuo Qiyu’s setup is far faster than my reaction limit.”“It seems dodging the rifts is completely impossible.”

When various grand Daos are cultivated to a certain extent, and the soul continuously strengthens, a natural sense of the time Dao arises. Legend has it that the Primordial Realm was born in sixty-eight infinities of time—that is, in one over ten to the power of sixty-eight seconds. Zhao Xing’s vague perception of the time Dao was only ‘three infinities of time,’ meaning he could sense and react to events occurring one-thousandth of a second ahead. If faster, for example, compressed into one ten-thousandth of a second, that would be ‘four infinities’ level. At this speed, even a simple punch touches the realm of the time Dao, making it impossible for the enemy to react.

“Those who can cultivate the time Dao are generally Reincarnation Emperors. Their true spirits are powerful enough to complete spellcasting or advancement within seven infinities of time.” Zhao Xing moved his body, discovering that after being swallowed by the black rift, his body was largely undamaged. He began to examine his surroundings. “Up, down, left, right, front, back — all are gray walls.”

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*

Zhao Xing activated his Heavenly Soul Vision and quickly discovered he was trapped in a sealed box-like space, a cube with sides of ten thousand kilometers. However, these walls emitted gray mist.

*Bang!*

Zhao Xing tried punching the ground. His fist quickly met resistance in the gray mist near the ground, like punching into water. By the time it touched the ground, the impact force had been completely nullified. “Seems I didn’t hit a solid entity.” Zhao Xing then moved quickly, punching towards the entire enclosed space.

*Bang, bang, bang!* After countless fist shadows, nothing changed. “It’s all the same; brute force simply won’t break it.”

Having completed his tests, Zhao Xing sat down cross-legged to ponder, while his true self outside rapidly analyzed. “There’s a time discrepancy between the space where my true self is and where my avatar is. Zuo Qiyu’s Great Void Trial has ever-changing content. I must have encountered the classic ‘Space-Time Prison’.”“To break free, the difficulty is immense. Below the Reincarnation Realm, it’s absolutely impossible to break through.”“No more wasted time.” Zhao Xing actively dispersed his avatar. This was the advantage of precognition: knowing which path was a dead end. The Space-Time Prison could trap Reincarnation Emperors. Let alone Zhao Xing and these geniuses, even Reincarnation Emperors of the same level, ninety-nine percent of them would be trapped and unable to escape. Only a very few Emperors who also cultivated the Space-Time Dao could break out of a ‘Space-Time Prison’.

While the trials outside were bustling, Zuo Qiyu himself was not in Primordial City. He was currently in the Dao Ancient Layer of the Myriad-Ren Void, standing alongside Gu Luohe.

“Qiyu, many people are attempting your Primordial City trials now, some of them are truly astonishing talents. Have you taken a liking to any?” Gu Luohe asked.

“No matter how astounding, I won’t spare them a glance,” Zuo Qiyu shook his head.

“Taking disciples is secondary,” Gu Luohe said. “I actually hope you can move past it and not take Five Poisons’ words to heart.”

“Senior Gu, this has nothing to do with Five Poisons,” Zuo Qiyu shook his head. “That time, it was just a playful spar with him. Even if Zhao Xing truly wanted to acknowledge me as his master, I wouldn’t have contended with him.”“You don’t need to persuade me anymore; the rules we set earlier remain,” Zuo Qiyu said. “Primordial City has two trials in total. The second trial has 800,001 possibilities. 800,000 of them are at the Reincarnation level of difficulty. Only one is theoretically passable by someone in the Primordial Realm.”“If someone can persevere and try all 800,001 possibilities, find that glimmer of hope, and successfully pass—that is destiny. Though I won’t accept disciples, I can impart the straw avatar technique to them.”“The premise is that you and the Great Emperor haven’t leaked the secret.”

Gu Luohe was silent, then stopped persuading.

By the Boundary River, on the reef.

*Poof!*

After the dispersal, Zhao Xing’s true self opened his eyes by the Boundary River. “Attempt again.” Another Colossal Yang avatar advanced towards the city.

“Zuo Qiyu refuses to take disciples.”“But he hasn’t completely blocked the path of imparting techniques. He promised Red Star Emperor and Gu Luohe that the first trial would not be too difficult, but the second trial would be extremely hard.”“Legend has it that the second trial has a total of 800,001 variations, and only one of them is theoretically passable by those in the Primordial Realm.”“The rest are utterly impossible to pass.”

As for which possibility this one was, Gu Luohe and Red Star Emperor didn’t know. But since Zuo Qiyu had set the rules, he would never lie. Zhao Xing had heard this rumor in his previous life, so he decided to try 800,001 times. “800,001 times, even if it’s just a sliver of possibility, Zuo Qiyu’s straw avatar technique is absolutely worth my time and effort.” The temptation of a rare, unobtainable straw avatar technique was too great for Zhao Xing.

The second time, after his avatar entered Primordial City, Zhao Xing’s vision went black, and he found himself on a desolate yellow planet. As soon as he landed, his vitality and spiritual energy rapidly drained away.

*Whoosh!* Yellow sand swirled across the sky, enveloping him from all directions. His body quickly became tainted with intense death qi, then, along with this entire realm, fell into endless desolation. “Desolate Death Star, no.” Zhao Xing’s true self shook his head.

The third straw avatar entered the second trial, appearing in a bustling marketplace. Peddlers hawked their wares on the street, and an archway displayed ‘Anping Ward’. All the surrounding people had the exact same aura and appearance as himself. “Damn it, Ego Illusion. It even replicated my old home in Gu City, Nanyang Commandery. This is truly perverse. Detonate!” Zhao Xing sensed something was wrong and quickly detonated his avatar.

Fourth time, detonate!Fifth time, detonate!One thousand eight hundredth time, detonate!

Time passed, and fewer and fewer geniuses remained in Primordial City. Fifty years later, only a scattered dozen or so people were still attempting the trials, because no one could get past the second trial. No one had even figured out how to pass. Geniuses liked challenging high difficulties, but no one would seek abuse from a hopeless trial. Now, everyone also believed that saying: no one has ever passed Zuo Qiyu’s trial.

“Let’s go.” Han Qianye shook his head and left the pavilion. “Zuo Qiyu fundamentally doesn’t want to impart techniques or accept disciples; it’s purely an excuse.”

“Indeed,” Daoist Miaosong also gave up. “How can a trial be so demanding? Its difficulty reaches the Reincarnation Realm level; even Reincarnation Emperors can’t pass.” Transmigrated cultivators, with their keen insights, had largely judged that Zuo Qiyu’s second trial, at its highest difficulty, reached the Reincarnation Emperor level. It was fundamentally impossible for Seaweed-level members to pass, and Coral-level members could only dream.

“Coming to Senior Zuo’s place wasn’t without gain; my avatar technique has advanced further,” Yuan Qiusheng was optimistic. “If I get it, I’m lucky; if I don’t, it’s fate.”

“You’re quite a believer in fate,” Fairy Youling smiled.

“Don’t you believe, Fairy?” Yuan Qiusheng asked in surprise.

“A little, but not much. One has to give face to friends who are destiny masters,” Fairy Youling said lazily. “However, I believe more in human endeavor. Don’t you agree, Zhao Xing?”

“Fairy speaks true,” Zhao Xing nodded.

“Brother Zhao, aren’t you leaving?” Han Chuchen was surprised to see Zhao Xing not getting up, still sending out avatars.

“Hmm, I want to try again,” Zhao Xing said. “Just as Daoist Miaosong said, even if I can’t pass, attempting the trials here is still beneficial.”

“I was making light of my suffering, just joking,” Daoist Miaosong chuckled bitterly. “There are so many treasure locations in the Primordial Realm; why waste all my time and energy here?”

“Hahaha.”

“I still want to try,” Zhao Xing said.

“Then I wish Zhao Xing success. We shall take our leave,” Han Chuchen and the others no longer tried to persuade him. Given enough time, Zhao Xing would naturally lose patience, so there was no need for further persuasion. After all, the limited study period in the Primordial Realm was only 2,400 years. Zhao Xing, weighing the pros and cons, would sooner or later give up on this useless trial. Without them saying anything, Gu Luohe probably wouldn’t sit idly by and watch his disciple waste time.

Time flowed on; another 508 years passed. Zhao Xing, as usual, sent an avatar towards Primordial City, while his true self meditated in the second cultivation ground within Gu Luohe’s inner world.

“Hmm?”

Zhao Xing, who was comprehending the second type of life Dao, opened his eyes. “Found it!”“The 800,001st!”“1008 years, I finally encountered this trial!” Zhao Xing was ecstatic.

At this moment, he had an avatar appearing in the second trial of Primordial City—a peculiar space filled with gray-yellow gas, starlight, and land. “Compared to the other 800 million trials, the level of this trial, in every aspect, is much weaker!” Zhao Xing was sure this was the glimmer of hope because he had experienced many trials of Reincarnation-level difficulty. Now, suddenly entering a Primordial Realm-level difficulty, the contrast was naturally very clear.

“The rumor is true; such a place really exists.” Zhao Xing immediately took out Gu Luohe’s token and disappeared from the inner world. At the same time, throughout the entire Primordial Realm, all his avatars stopped their actions, and his true self appeared by the Boundary River. He concentrated all his attention on the Colossal Yang avatar attempting the trial.

Gu Luohe looked up and saw Zhao Xing outside Primordial City, and also the figure of Zuo Qiyu on Primordial City’s wall. “I didn’t teach him,” Gu Luohe transmitted telepathically.

Zuo Qiyu nodded slightly; he certainly trusted Gu Luohe’s character. If Gu Luohe didn’t teach him, then this young man truly had perseverance and was obsessed with the way of straw avatars.

Inside Primordial City, within the second trial space.

Under the starry sky, Zhao Xing’s avatar suddenly heard a flat voice. “Zhao Xing, you have spent 1008 years, sending at least ten thousand avatars daily to attempt this, willing to put in such effort during the golden cultivation time of the Primordial Realm. It’s truly rare.”

“Senior Zuo,” Zhao Xing hurriedly bowed respectfully.

“It seems you are indeed obsessed with straw avatar techniques. Very well, I’ll tell you directly,” Zuo Qiyu said: “This trial is the true Great Void Trial.”“Theoretically, it is the only one that can be passed by someone in the Primordial Realm.”“However, even so, its difficulty is very, very high, and no one has ever tried it.”“In my view, your chance of passing it in one go is extremely slim. You might have to try thousands or tens of thousands of times.”

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

“And if you don’t pass this time, you will have to spend another thousand years, experiencing all other trials, before you can encounter the true Great Void Trial again.”“You can calculate for yourself how much time you will spend here.”

Zhao Xing’s heart tightened. Assuming he had to try ten thousand times to pass, it would cost him ten million years! Nearly eight epochs! Truly perverse enough! But Zhao Xing didn’t hesitate: “Senior Zuo, I am willing to spend my entire life trying!”

Hearing Zhao Xing’s resolute voice, Zuo Qiyu fell silent. In a trance, he seemed to see a young man from the past, equally diligent and earnest, telling him he was willing to follow him and learn techniques for a lifetime.

“A lifetime?” Zuo Qiyu’s face suddenly turned cold, and his voice became much fainter. “This old man cannot give you that much time. If you break through to the Dao Domain Realm, you will no longer be able to attempt this.”“Don’t say I didn’t warn you! If you delay your cultivation path, don’t blame me!”

“This student has no regrets,” Zhao Xing cupped his hands and bowed towards the void. Seeing Zuo Qiyu offer no further words, he then wholeheartedly began to examine the true Great Void Trial.
