nFang Liehai and Qing Shaoyu who both had feuds with Li Fuchen were stunned when they heard the news.

n

nHad Li Fuchen only advanced to the Origin Realm a few years later, they would have been able to trample on Li Fuchen however they liked.

n

nIt didn't matter if his perception went against the heavens. As long as one did not keep up with one's cultivation level, everything was just in name.

n

nBut who knew Li Fuchen would progress so quickly. Now even if they wanted revenge, it would prove to be difficult.

n

nAlmost with no possibility.

n

nWhen the rest of the prodigies heard the news, they each had their respective reactions. Yu Wen Tian's eyes were filled with battle intent, Zhao Mingyue's eyes were of intrigue and interest, and Wu Qingmei's eyes were emotionless and no one would know what she was thinking about.

n

nAs for Guan Xue, she bit onto her lips and looked despondent.

n

nThree days later…

n

nLi Fuchen once again arrived at the inner sect grand hall.

n

nInside the grand hall, there were close to 100 inner sect preparation disciples. Li Fuchen was familiar with a bunch of them.

n

nOf the 30,000 outer sect disciples, roughly a thousand would advance to the Origin Realm, which was around 100 a month.

nIn order to reserve manpower and resources, the inner sect trials were only carried out once a month. It wasn't carried out once a disciple broke through.

n

n

"A total of 97. Since everyone is here, follow me to the Thousand Violent River.

"

n

nA green robed inner sect elder sized everyone up while speaking.

n

nThe party that headed towards the Thousand Violent River was rather competent. Other than the 97 preparation disciples and the 1 hosting inner sect elder, there were 10 inner sect deacons and 97 inner sect deacon apprentices too.

nThe Thousand Violent River was rather far away. If they were to proceed by foot, they would need a few days time.

n

nOutside the inner sect grand hall was a group of 5 meter tall giant cranes descending from the sky. For a moment, the gust of wind caused the disciples to shut their eyes due to the wind pressure.

n

nLi Fuchen who had an amazing physique, had his eyes open even with the violent gust of wind.

n

nHe noticed that these giant cranes were actually class 1 spirit beasts.

nThe spirit energy in their body was roughly of the same as a class 1 demonic beast.

n

nWith a few people in each group, each group then climbed onto the back of the giant cranes.

n

nHooo!

n

nThe giant cranes levitated vertically and brought the party into the sky.

n

n

"So fast!

"

n

nThe biting cold wind came head on and felt as strong as steel knives.

n

nIt was at this moment, that a person's ability could be estimated.

n

nSome of the preparation disciples couldn't help but sit in meditation to reduce the wind resistance. There were some who forcefully stood up but each had emitted a colourful qi to repel the wind.

n

nThere were only a few who could stand still like the mountain, as though their feets were rooted.

n

nEspecially Li Fuchen who stood crossed armed with an expression as though he was still standing on the ground.

n

n

"No wonder he is the outer sect's no.1 disciple.

" The other preparation disciples were filled with admiration.

n

nAs time passed, except for Li Fuchen, the rest of the preparation disciples couldn't stand it anymore.

n

nWithstanding the violent winds expended a vast amount of qi. With the qi in their body drastically being lowered, they had no other choice but to sit and meditate.

n

nSeeing that the rest had seated, Li Fuchen didn't want to be overly prominent and slowly took a seat on the giant crane's back.

n

nLooking at the green robed inner sect elder who looked elegantly, everyone revealed looks of envy.

n

nEvery martial realm had their own speciality.

n

n

n

nQi Training Realm, attraction of qi.

n

nOrigin Returning Realm, manifestation of qi.

n

nEarth Shattering Realm, control and release of qi.

n

nHeaven Dipper Realm, traversing with qi.

n

nThe Cang Lan inner sect elders were all Heaven Realm experts.

n

nAs the name suggested, Heaven Realm experts were able to traverse through the skies and the land, they possessed remarkable abilities and had absolute martial prowess.

n

nHad any of the clans produced a Heaven Realm martial artist, the clan would immediately be named as one of the Cang Lan regions' aristocratic clans.

n

nFang Liehai's Fang Clan and Yu Wen Tian's Yu Wen Clan were both aristocratic clans.

n

nOf course, the clans that the inner sect elders belonged to, were also aristocratic clans.

n

nBut above the aristocratic clans were the noble clans.

n

nNoble clans required a long history and had to have a certain number of Heaven Realm experts. Even among the Cang Lan region, there were only a few noble clans.

n

nEveryone of them had great authority within the Cang Lan Sect.

n***

nThe giant crane was extremely fast. At noon time, the group arrived at an area with a magnificent view.

n

nLooking from high above, hundreds of white streams flowed straight down, like white dragons diving into the sea, producing a thunderous echo.

n

nAs one got nearer, the sound got louder,and gradually the white streams were revealed to everyone.

n

nHundreds of waterfalls, the shortest was only dozens of feet long. A longer waterfall would be around 50 or 60 feet and the longest one would be around 100 feet long, just like an intimidating jade dragon emitting an grand aura.

n

nAt the bottom of the waterfalls was a large river. The river had treacherous currents and countless whirlpools. It gives off an dangerous feeling like it had an immeasurable depth.

n

nThe giant cranes spiraled to a landing right at an empty space in front of the Thousand Violent River.

n

nWith a wave of the green robed inner sect elder's hand, an astounding scene happened.

n

nOn the Thousand Violent River, an ice path which contained limitless cold qi was created and stretched all the way to the waterfalls.

n

n

"Follow me.

"

nThe green robed inner sect elder took the lead on the ice path.

n

n

"How much icy qi must one have in order to create this path of ice meant for people to walk on?!

" The preparation disciples were gasping in surprise.

n

n

"Get on it, what are you dilly dallying for.

" An inner sect deacon instructed.

n

nHearing as so, the preparation disciples began to walk on the ice path.

n

nWalking on the ice path, Li Fuchen noticed that the ice path didn't even sway one bit and there was roughly 200 people walking on it.

n

nOut of curiosity, Li Fuchen activated his qi and permeated it into the ice underneath his foot.

n2 meters.

n

nThe ice path was 2 meters thick, which explains why it could withstand the weight of so many people walking.

n

nWithout much effort, the crowd arrived at the foot of the waterfalls.

nHundreds of waterfalls, each one had a dozens of rocks underneath it. Under the constant pressure from the waterfalls, these rocks had become smooth and slippery, like gigantic cobblestones stacked up.

n

nThe green robed elder turned around and spoke,

"Stand under a 30 foot waterfall and withstand it for 15 minutes. If you can withstand, you move on to the next phase. If you can't, you are eliminated. Come back again in two months.

"

n

nHearing the instructions, the preparation disciples all took a gulp of saliva. 30 foot meant the waterfall was as tall as 100 meter. How much force would be produced with the vast amount of water falling from above.

n

nWhat's more, is with the smooth surface of the giant rocks, it wasn't hard to imagine the increased difficulty to stand on it.

n

n

"Alright, rely on your own strength to stand on the giant rocks. If after 15 minutes you are still not up there, then there is no need to continue.

"

n

"Each of you will take responsibility for one preparation disciple, time for them. The ten of you supervise them.

"

nAs he finished giving his instructions to the 97 inner sect preparation disciples, the green robed elder then turned to give orders to the 10 inner sect deacons.

n

n

"Yes.

"

n

nThe inner sect deacons and deacon apprentices, receive the orders with a kung fu bow.

n

nThe speed of the 30 foot waterfalls were extremely fast, and due to the special opening of the waterfalls, the force of the currents were concentrated.

n

n

nThe 97 inner sect preparation disciples began their attempts to ascend the giant rocks.

n

nBut the situation didn't seem hopeful.

n

nIt was much harder than imagined to stand on the giant rock.

n

nThe person beside Li Fuchen, tried to go near the giant rock, but was unfortunately blasted away by the majestic water currents.

n

n

"I advise all of you to pay more attention. To a certain level, to stand on the rock may perhaps be harder than to withstand for 15 minutes.

" An inner sect deacon apprentice gave a tip.

nLi Fuchen nodded in agreement. From what he saw, to stand on the rock may prove to be difficult, since during the process, you will not be in control of your center of gravity.

n

nEven after everyone put in their full efforts, those that could stand atop the rock in a single attempt remained at just a handful.

n

nLi Fuchen didn't wait any longer and began to revolve his Scarlet Mystic Flame Technique. Red scarlet fire qi came from within his body to form a layer like a fire cloak.

n

nAs the others were watching, Li Fuchen stomped on the ice path and leapt towards the waterfall.
