Chapter 38 — The Second Trial: Illusions of Opportunity
A young cultivator's hand was already reaching for the golden herb when the stone beneath his feet split apart."Wait—!"A pillar of blinding light erupted from the ground.The cultivator vanished inside it, his startled cry swallowed by the roaring formation. A moment later, the light contracted into a brilliant point and disappeared.He reappeared at the outer boundary, stumbling several steps before falling to one knee.The golden herb was gone.So was the stone platform on which it had grown.A wave of spiritual energy swept across the formation. Countless ancient runes briefly illuminated the surrounding mountainside, forming enormous patterns that stretched across the sky before sinking beneath the earth once more.The remaining participants halted."That herb looked real!""I could smell its medicinal fragrance from here.""Then why did the formation expel him?"Before anyone could appro
Chapter 37 — Beyond the Formation
The final formation seal blazed across the sky.A deep rumble rolled over the assembly grounds as the countless floating stone platforms began returning to their original positions. Ancient inscriptions ignited one after another, their radiance spreading across the vast formation like constellations awakening above a boundless sea.Then the spiritual currents converged.Thousands of streams of light swept toward the central formation core. The shifting pathways folded inward, one layer after another, while the enormous stone slabs descended through the air.The first trial had ended."One hundred and eighty-seven participants have successfully passed!"The attendant's announcement rang across the observation platform."Three hundred and twelve were registered. One hundred and twenty-five have been eliminated!"A wave of conversation erupted throughout the assembly grounds.Some participants exchanged relieved glances. Ot
Chapter 36 — The First Trial: A Thousand Changing Paths
The stone platform collapsed beneath Lu Chen's leading foot.A thunderous roar erupted from the formation as hundreds of enormous stone slabs rose from the depths below, ascending into the air like fragments of a shattered mountain.Some rotated horizontally. Others turned vertically, their ancient surfaces covered in luminous inscriptions that pulsed with spiritual energy.Above them, countless streams of spiritual Qi intertwined like celestial rivers.The pathways that had existed a moment earlier were gone.Several participants immediately lost their footing."Watch out!"A young cultivator barely managed to leap away as the platform beneath him folded into the darkness. His spiritual energy surged wildly, attempting to stabilize his descent, but the surrounding currents suddenly reversed.A brilliant formation seal illuminated beneath his body.A translucent barrier erupted from the void and swept him away.He
Chapter 35 — Jadefall's Young Talents
“Three hundred and twelve?”Bai Zhenyu glanced at the registration ledger, then looked toward the crowded avenue outside the assembly grounds.“That many cultivators have registered?”The attendant standing beside him nodded.“Three hundred and twelve confirmed participants. Several more arrived before the registration gates closed, but their qualifications could not be verified in time.”Bai Zhenyu gave a quiet whistle.Jadefall had attracted more young cultivators than he had expected.The assembly grounds, which had been relatively quiet several days earlier, were now filled with banners, carriages, attendants, and representatives from different factions. The broad avenue leading to the central arena had become a procession of young talents accompanied by their respective families or sect members.Some wore the robes of established sects.Others carried family insignias embroidered
Chapter 34 — An Invitation to the Martial Assembly
“Three days.”Bai Zhenyu placed a black invitation card on the table.“That's how long Jadefall City has before the registration begins.”Lu Chen glanced at the card but did not immediately reach for it.Qiao Wen, who had been reviewing the regional map, looked up.“Has the Merchant Alliance finally announced its arrangements?”“Not the Merchant Alliance alone.” Bai Zhenyu opened his folding fan. “The Profound Sky Sect has agreed to oversee the main competition, while several prominent families and merchant houses will provide resources and support.”He tapped the invitation with one finger.“The Jadefall Martial Assembly.”Lu Chen picked up the card.Its surface was made from dark spiritual wood. A silver inscription ran across the front, depicting a mountain peak surrounded by clouds.Beneath it were several lines of formal writing.The assembly would accept cultivators below the Core Foundation Realm, regardless of whether they belonged to a sect, family, or independent cultivation
Chapter 33 — A Vessel for Primordial Chaos
The black ironwood cracked beneath Lu Chen's palm.A thin fracture spread across its surface, stopping just short of splitting the block in two.He withdrew his hand and examined the mark.The material had been advertised as suitable for weapon fittings and body-tempering implements. Its density was indeed impressive. Even after receiving a direct strike from his reinforced palm, it had only suffered a shallow fracture.But the result was not what he had been testing.Lu Chen placed the ironwood block on the floor and looked at his right hand.His Chaos Iron Body had endured the impact without difficulty. The force had traveled through his palm, wrist, and forearm before dispersing through his shoulder. There was no pain, no numbness, and no sign of damaged tissue.That was the foundation he had built.Yet the next stage of cultivation would demand something far greater.He returned to his seat and closed his eyes.Within his body, the Primordial Chaos Meridian stretched like an ancie
