Celestial Immortal Shou Yang’s Inheritance Trial

There’s news from Earth stating that the enchantment around the tomb of Celestial Immortal Shou Yang on Changbai Mountain will show signs of weakening in ten days. All cultivators under Return to Void Stage cultivation base have a chance to enter the tomb and search for the inheritance within the tomb as long as they have a special jade talisman from the Heavenly Court.

This is a pact that Celestial Immortal Shou Yang made with the Heavenly Court prior to his death. He welcomed prodigies from the Heavenly Court under Soul Formation Stage to travel to the Shou Yang Tomb a thousand years after his death to fight for his inheritance. The agreed date from a thousand years ago is finally upon us!

There are only ten jade talismans, two of which have gone to Earth while The United University of Cultivation has been granted the remaining eight. In the end, the eight students that would travel to Earth would be decided by a student vote!

Another important thing is, we have no idea what is situated within the Shou Yang Tomb.

We don’t even know why he decided to build his tomb on Earth.

Everything is a mystery so the Heavenly Court is unable to gauge just how dangerous the tomb would be, which means there may be life-threatening hazards inside the tomb.

## Alternative World

After passing through the space portal on Changbai Mountain, An Lin and his group were sent to an alternative world, called Zhan Qi Continent, where the cultivation of vital energy is not practiced, but of heterogeneous energy called Battle Qi.

The entire An Lin group was eventually sent to different locations on the Zhan Qi Continent and An Lin himself was sent to a location known as the Flying Cloud Desert, where he was rescued by Bai Shuyan that revealed the basic knowledge about Zhan Qi Continent to An Lin.

After causing some problems in the Ao Xin Empire, An Lin was able to meet with most of his team members (in addition to Liu Qianhuan, Tian Lingling and White Spirit Snake) and managed to successfully kill the Battle God Xu Ming and seriously injure the Battle God Zi Yang with Xuanyuan Cheng nuclear bomb.

According to the information obtained from Battle God Zi Yang, An Lin's group learned that the Celestial Immortal Shou Yang had appeared in this world a thousand years ago. Or to put it more accurately, he was only passing by.

He only appeared briefly on the Zhan Qi Continent before disappearing without a trace. It is said that he was last seen at the northernmost tip of the Ancient Barren Realm.

In addition to this information they were also able to obtain from Battle God Zi Yang the location of the other divine weapons and flames.

According to Battle Goddess Bi Qiong, in the past ten thousand years Battle Qi has changed. It’s gone from rough to refined; it’s gone from a dissociated state to a state where it’s more interconnected with the Heavenly Dao. Vital energy is the essence of all matter. It’s the only energy acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao. However, Battle Qi is also developing in a unique way. Under the guidance of some will, perhaps it might develop into a new Dao.

## Tomb of Celestial Immortal Shou Yang

They made their way through a dark passageway and arrived at a spacious room. This room was especially large, and there were ten large doors inside of it, all of which were locked. In the middle of the room, there was a pure white stone tablet, it there was a map drawn onto it.

According to the map, they were currently located at the bottom-most entrance of the tomb. Ten different paths snaked upward from this point, and they all converged back together after passing some intersecting node. This path then passed through three more nodes before finally reaching an end destination.

### First Trial - Ten Realm-Guardian Tribes Trial

The ten different paths were called the “Ten Realm-Guardian Tribes”—Snake Spirit Clan, Heavenly Turtle Tribe, Dragon Tribe, Holy Martial Clan, Dark Wing Tribe, Vermilion Bird Tribe, Stone Tribe, Spirit Fish Clan, True Demon Tribe, and Void Spirit Tribe.

### Second Trial - Realm-Guardian Trial

After making their way through the black tunnel, they arrived before a vast stretch of decaying land.

That’s right, this land was decaying and moving toward destruction. Not a single blade of grass grew upon this crumbling land, and the rocks on the ground were all fractured and decayed. The atmosphere was oppressive, and it was as though this entire realm was about to disintegrate into nothingness.

“The Ten Realm-Guardian Tribes have arrived at the Foreign Land. Please exterminate all members of foreign tribes. Difficulty: hell mode.”

#### Results

* The Battle God and Battle Goddess also sat on zero points.

### Third Trial - Realm-Guardian Trial, Demons of Hell stage

A thick layer of rock comprised the entirety of the sky, while the ground was a vast expanse of scorching land, with crimson magma flowing through the cracks. The air around them was filled with a pungent, toxic gas.

The scene around them was extremely similar to the first level of the test of survival during the Dao Exchange Conference of the Four Powers. However, the space they were in was many times more cavernous and the layer of rock formations overhead was also a lot higher.

In no time, a patch of rock formation in the distance above their heads suddenly began to crack open. And some black figures crashed to the ground with a resounding boom.

They was greeted by the sight of nine peculiar living organisms, whose bodies were completely black with extremely stable biological structures, unlike the twisted chaos that comprised the sinister devils. They also seemed to possess vast amounts of power which gave one a sense of overwhelming asphyxiation.

“These are the Demons of Hell from the Tai Chu Continent. They’re rumored to reside within the underground world and survive from absorbing geothermal energy and the energy of death. Their life forces rival those of powerful beings of the Blood Tribe.”

#### Results

The points of the Battle Gods were unaccounted for.

### Final Trial - Realm-Guardian Trial, Purple Star stage

This was a vast expanse of grassland with white clouds hanging over a backdrop of blue skies and clear creeks running through a lush hill. Even the air there was extremely clean and refreshing.

A rift suddenly opened up in the sky at this very moment.

A circular, silvery-white flying object flew out from the rift. The flying object consisted of two smooth silver rings, and it glowed brightly under the sun like a perfect work of art.

Just as they was pondering what the object could be, bright electricity suddenly began to revolve around it before converging in the air above.

A terrifying explosion of energy radiated outward, reducing everything around them to dust and creating a massive crater in the ground.

They couldn’t detect any vital energy fluctuations from that last attack, so that was clearly just a purely physical energy attack.

At this moment, an opening appeared on the flying object and two figures clad in black armor leaped out from the opening.

They had initially thought that those two figures were mechanical puppets, just like the two Gundams. But from the recent developments, it appeared there was a strong possibility that the armor-clad figure was a Battle God!

The Battle God Zhen Hong, the first Battle God of the Bei Hong Empire and the Battle God Tian Dao the second Battle God of the Ao Xin Empire. Both the missing Battle Gods recorded in the historical texts.

Right at this moment, a white circular object suddenly descended slowly onto the ground.

A black rift appeared and a bald man immediately jumped out from within.

He wore a white cape with a yellow jumpsuit and a pair of red gloves. The “One Punch Man.”

### Total Score and Rewards

All were welcomed by the vision of a circular white altar. A thirty-feet-tall statue of a man stood in the center of the altar.

The man wore a solemn expression and wielded a massive sword as he looked out ahead of him with determination in his eyes.

It was a statue of Celestial Immortal Shou Yang himself!

## Trivia

* In the first trial the difficulty is adjusted according to the cultivation ranks of the trial participants, however by not taking into account the Battle Gods accompanying the weaker participants, the Divine Weapons and the comprehensive strength of overcoming the participants' ranks, the trial ended up being a free pass.
* There were all types of treasures on there with the corresponding scores required to exchange for the treasure next to the items. There was a note at the lower right corner too: all items can only be exchanged for once, and whoever exchanges for the item first will get the only copy.
