Chapter 3682 - The Pinnacle Abyss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Isn't Tu Feng, the second elder's disciple, participating?"

"Look! That's the second elder's disciples, Li Yue!"

As the inner disciples who were Kings of Gods entered the Little World, Duan Ling Tian overheard the conversations in his surroundings and turned to look at one of the Kings of Gods.

He was a young man dressed in a blue robe. When he saw Duan Ling Tian staring at him, he returned the stare with an indifferent and emotionless gaze. Following that, he entered the Little World.

After listening to the conversations in his surroundings, Duan Ling Tian discovered that Tu Feng would usually come to watch the test. For this reason, Tu Feng's sudden absence roused everyone's curiosity. He naturally did not care if Tu Feng was present or not since it did not affect him at all. If it were not for the people mentioning Tu Feng, he would not have thought about Tu Feng at all.

Since Tu Feng wanted Duan Ling Tian dead, Duan Ling Tian had also considered Tu Feng an enemy. After breaking through and becoming a King of Gods, he would deal with Tu Feng. He did not care that Tu Feng was the disciple of the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect.

When all the inner disciples who were Kings of Gods entered the Little World, the tear in the void finally mended itself.

With that, only inner disciples who were gods like Duan Ling Tian were left. There were only roughly thirty people left on the site.

Many disciples of high-ranking officials did not participate in the core disciples' test because they felt it was unnecessary. Hence, most of the inner disciples who were gods participating in the core disciples' test were those without masters or elders in the Hidden Fog Sect.

In fact, the number of participants this year was rather high. Usually, even 10 participants were considered a high number. This was because many people were unwilling to participate in the test even if it was just to gain experience because one could get seriously injured.

At this moment, a few inner disciples could no longer hold back their curiosity. They gathered around him before one of them asked, "Duan Ling Tian, are you confident about passing the test?"

"You'll find out when the results are out," Duan Ling Tian replied. Faced with these people who only wished to gossip, he wore a faint smile on his face.

"It seems like you're quite confident."

At this time, a slender young man dressed in a cyan robe grinned and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhang Yao Ji, an advanced god."

"Duan Ling Tian," Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

Upon seeing the friendly smile on Duan Ling Tian's face, Zhang Yao Ji's eyes brightened.

With this, the other inner disciples around Duan Ling Tian began to enthusiastically introduce themselves as well.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian discovered the other inner disciples seemed to be giving Zhang Yao Ji a wide berth as though Zhang Yao Ji was a fearsome beast. He thought to himself, 'It seems like Zhang Yao Ji's background isn't simple.'

After waiting for a while, the second Little World still did not appear. The Trial Pavilion was incredibly silent. Apart from the voices of a few disciples, there was no other sound at all.

An inner disciple looked at Zhang Yao Ji at this moment and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, why don't… why don't you hurry things up?"

'Hurry things up?' Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

On the other hand, Zhang Yao Ji nodded slightly as he said, "It's indeed taking a little too long…"

Following that, under everyone's gazes, Zhang Yao Ji looked at the Trial Pavilion before he loudly said, "Old geezer! What the hell are you doing? How long are you going to make us wait?"

'Old geezer? Who's he talking to?' Duan Ling Tian was even more puzzled upon hearing these words.

Duan Ling Tian looked around him and found that nobody looked surprised at all as though this was a common occurrence.

At this time, a scoff rang in the air followed by a voice that said, "How can you be so impatient?"

In the next moment, a tall and thin figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was as though he had appeared out of thin air. It was a middle-aged man with a majestic aura and sword-like brows. He looked like an immortal that had descended to the mortal world.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

Everyone bowed and greeted the middle-aged man respectfully as soon as he appeared.

With this, Duan Ling Tian finally realized the middle-aged man, who resembled Zhang Yao Ji, was Zhang Tian Heng, the Pavilion Master of the Trial Pavilion and also a Guardian of the Hidden Fog Sect. He also understood now why the other inner disciples were so respectful to Zhang Yao Ji. As it turned out, Zhang Yao Ji's father was a Guardian of the Hidden Fog Sect.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master," Duan Ling Tian said belatedly.

"See that? Why can't you be as calm and patient as Duan Ling Tian?" Zhang Tian Heng asked as he looked at Zhang Yao Ji.

Zhang Yao Ji retorted, "Duan Ling Tian is calm and patient because his father gave him high talent and comprehension skills. What have you given me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tian Heng only shook his head helplessly and said, "Brat, I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later." Then, he turned to Duan Ling Tian and said, "Duan Ling Tian, I've decided to take over the test for inner disciples who are gods because of you."

"I'm honored, Pavilion Master," Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had been confused as to why Kings of Gods were not taken to the Little World of the Pavilion Master of the Trial Pavilion. He did not expect the reason for the sudden change was due to him.

Zhang Tian Heng looked at Duan Ling Tian knowingly as he said, "There's no need to be too modest. Vice Sect Leader Murong has a very discerning eye, and he rarely makes mistakes in his judgment. For you to receive two recommendations from him, you're obviously extraordinary. I'm curious if you'll be able to pass the core disciples' test today." He paused briefly before he continued to say, "In any case, I won't show favoritism today. Even if I want to, it's impossible since everything in the Little World will be recorded and presented to the sect leader. The results will be verified by the sect leader, after all."

Duan Ling Tian's expression remained unchanged as he listened to Zhang Tian Heng. After all, he did not expect to be shown any partiality. In his opinion, as long as the person in charge did not deliberately make things difficult for him, he had no issue at all. He was also relieved when he learned that the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect would verify the results. This meant that other elders would not be able to play tricks to make things difficult for him.

Seeing the lack of reaction from Duan Ling Tian, Zhang Tian Heng looked at him appreciatively before he said, "Alright, all of you can enter as well."

With that, Zhang Tian Heng opened up an entrance to his Little World.

After entering the Little World, Duan Ling Tian and the others found that they seemed to be at the bottom of an abyss. It was dark all around. When they looked up, they saw a faint light that seemed out of their reach.

"Where are we?"

"The core disciples' test is different every time. I wonder if the test this time is to leave this place?"

"That sounds too simple, right? We can just fly out, after all."

"Simple? Are you serious? From what I heard, Pavilion Master Zhang's Little World is filled with fearsome beasts that he captured and death warriors. All of them are said to be as strong as Kings of Gods."

"You're saying that we have to face the beasts and death warriors to leave this place?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

At this time, a sonorous voice rang from above, "At this moment, you're in the Pinnacle Abyss in my Little World. To be precise, you're at the bottom of the abyss. To pass the test and become a core disciple, you only need to leave the abyss."

Everyone could recognize Zhang Tian Heng's voice immediately.

"See? It's just as I've said!"

"Come on! Let's go up!"

With that, a few people took the initiative and began to fly out of the abyss.

However, they were only 100 meters in the air before growls began to echo in the abyss. Following that, dozens of figures emerged from the darkness, accompanied by saber rays, sword rays, and Divine Energies boosted with all kinds of laws that surged violently.

Although a few of the inner sect disciples reacted rather quickly, they were still thrown to the ground in the end.
