9 Divine Enlightenment Pagoda Trial

All the cultivators below Nascent Soul bolted towards the entrance of the trial and entered through.

Ling Tian, however, just directly teleported inside.

All the cultivators were split inside and only a minority were teleported together.

The ones teleported together were usually from different organizations and fought each other when they saw it was people from a different organization.

The environment of the trial was a massive forest with lush vegetation and rare spirit herbs.

Of course, there was also a looming danger, there were many demonic beasts at both the Foundation Establishment realm and the Core Formation realm.

In the deeper part of the forest, there was even an early Nascent Soul realm beast.

"Hmmm... I should have brought Gong Shen here, even though he can only fight on the outer edges of the forest because of his low cultivation level."

"Well, I can change that!" As Ling Tian said that, he changed Gong Shen's memories and twisted them so that he thought he came here with his master, Ling Tian.

Gong Shen was automatically teleported to the outer edges in a somewhat safer area.

Since people were randomly teleported, some were unlucky and teleported closer to the center of the forest, encountering higher-ranked Core Formation realm beasts.

Ling Tian secretly gave Gong Shen a high-grade talisman that would protect him if he encountered lethal damage as he might encounter a beast outside of his fighting prowess.

Although outside in the forest, there were many rare spirit herbs and treasures to be obtained, the real treasure was right in the center of the forest.

There laid a gigantic temple, and inside there were many traps, demonic beasts, and, of course, treasures.

Ling Tian's plan was to be at the entrance of the temple and sell his wares there.

After 3 days of fighting, the cultivators found the temple at the center, many had died, they only managed to fend off the horde of demonic beasts and the Nascent Soul realm beast with the Peak Core Formation realm cultivators allying together to defeat it.

The entrance to the temple looked similar to the entrance to the trial. However, the temple entrance looked a little lackluster in concentration compared to the trial entrance.

It was as if the entrance wasn't meant to be entered just yet.

After 15 more minutes, all the remaining cultivators gathered.

They numbered more than 200+ people because there were many organizations that participated.

That number was actually rather low as each organization was allowed to bring only 10 cultivators.

There were many Foundation Establishment realm cultivators that only came to broaden their horizons and gain experience and some treasures on the side.

The number of organizations that came numbered over 50 and counting.

There was a loud holy-sounding noise that the gate emitted and everyone's attention was instantly on it.

The entrance that looked like a space rift looked like it was welcoming in everyone.

Everyone outside went in... including Gong Shen.

"I, Gong Shen, must impress my master and at least gain treasures inside. I must temper myself and prove that me becoming his disciple was not a mistake!" Gong Shen said with a resolute look in his eyes, and an unfaltering determination and will was burning inside of him.

Of course, Ling Tian already sensed that Gong Shen was entering the temple.

"Hahaha, I had a feeling he wouldn't be content with just staying on the outer edges."
