All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

Master Yu Ding groaned, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he staggered back.

The apricot-yellow flag in his hand was dim and shaky, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"I... I have no strength to activate the Apricot Yellow Flag anymore..." His face was pale, his voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of despair.

The great wizard on the opposite side was overjoyed when he saw this. He let out a deafening roar, then raised his bone spear high and stabbed at Jade Ding Zhenren with overwhelming force.

"Puff!" The expected severe pain did not come. Jade Ding Zhenren only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he returned to the outside of the trial tower.

His face turned slightly pale, and he immediately sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and beginning to regulate his breathing.

Although only his consciousness entered, a lot of his energy was consumed.

Outside the Trial Tower, a curtain of light appeared in the sky with countless names written on it. Upon closer inspection, these names represented every disciple who entered the Trial Tower.

The name of Jade Ding Zhenren also appears on it.

"No. 18, Jade Ding Zhenren of the Chan Sect!"

As soon as Jade Ding Zhenren's name appeared, it jumped directly to the top 20.

Ahead of him were the familiar names in Jiejiao.

Not long after, Taiyi Zhenren also returned to reality, and his face did not look very good either.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.

"Brother, you too..." Jade Ding Zhenren spoke first.

Taiyi Zhenren nodded and smiled bitterly: "The great witch's physical strength is too strong, and my Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover can't do anything to him. If I fight hard, I'm afraid..."

"Me too," Jade Ding Zhenren took over the conversation, "The poison on that bone spear is extremely strange. Although the apricot yellow flag can resist it for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it for a long time. So, I..."

He spread his hands, his meaning was self-evident.

There were some Jiejiao disciples around, and a trace of disdain flashed in their hearts when they heard it: "Sure enough, the disciples of the Chanjiao are still not as good as our Jiejiao disciples. Not even one of them has reached the seventh trial tower!"

Yu Ding and Taiyi Zhenren were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Time passes by minute by minute, slipping away silently like the sand in an hourglass.

Half an hour later, more and more people gathered in the square. Disciples came out of the trial tower one after another, and each of them had a different expression.

Some were excited, some were depressed, and some had no expression on their faces, as if they had experienced a life-and-death catastrophe.

As time went by, more and more Jiejiao disciples withdrew from the trial tower, and the square was crowded and bustling. The disciples who successfully passed the trial were beaming with joy, bragging to each other about their "heroic deeds" in the world of Taoism, as if they were all heroes who turned the tide.

"Let me tell you, when I faced that three-headed fire lion, I wasn't panicked at all! I simply used my Immortal Binding Rope and tied it up tightly in no time!" A disciple was spitting and gesticulating with his hands and feet, as if the fire lion in front of him was a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Tsk, what's a three-headed fire lion? In the fifth trial tower, I encountered the Five Poisonous Golden Toads! Without the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it is absolutely impossible to resist the poisonous mist!"

The other disciple had a look of disdain on his face, as if what he encountered was the only real challenge.

Those disciples who withdrew early were dejected, like eggplants hit by frost. They huddled in a corner and licked their wounds silently, afraid that others would notice their "failure".

In the center of the square, the attendants of the Seven Fairies and the Four Holy Mothers, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, were surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars. Most of them successfully climbed the seventh trial tower, and the strength they showed amazed the surrounding disciples.

"As expected of the Seven Immortals, you are truly amazing!"

"The Four Holy Mothers and the Three Goddesses are the best among the disciples. They have all reached the seventh level of the sixth seat, and some have even reached the seventh seat!"

Exclamations of praise rang out one after another, and these disciples who successfully reached the summit were enjoying their moment of glory.

Zhenren Taiyi and Zhenren Yuding stood on the outskirts of the crowd, looking at these high-spirited disciples of Jiejiao with mixed feelings.

Although they expressed disdain, their eyes revealed a hint of shock that was difficult to conceal.

"These people are probably all at the late stage of Daluo Jinxian. Even if they rely on treasures, they are still very powerful!"

Looking in the direction of Sanxiao and other disciples, Taiyi Zhenren spoke in a low voice with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

Jade Ding Zhenren's face was not looking good either. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In my Chan Sect, only Senior Brother Guang Chengzi has reached the late stage of the Daluo Jinxian realm. Compared with the people of Jie Sect, he has almost no advantage!"

"Moreover, the chief disciple of Jiejiao, Duobao Daoist, and Zhao Gongming, one of the outer disciples, did not participate! I wonder which level of the Trial Tower they can reach!"

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

This Jiejiao competition made them deeply aware of Jiejiao's strength, and also made them feel a little uneasy about the upcoming competition.

The first stage is just an assessment of combat power, the next step is the key test of comprehension and character!

At this moment, a fragrant breeze blew by, and the three goddesses of the sky, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, came together. Their clothes fluttered, and they looked like fairies descending to the earth, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

They walked straight to Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren, smiled slightly, and said, "Two senior brothers, how are you?"

Zhenren Taiyi and Zhenren Yuding hurriedly bowed in return, but they were secretly alert in their hearts.

"My three junior sisters, how are you?" Jade Ding Zhenren said with a wry smile.

Qiong Xiao covered his mouth and chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Two brothers, why did you both only stay at the sixth trial tower? With your strength, you should be able to reach the seventh!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Jiejiao disciples burst into laughter, and looked at Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren with teasing eyes.

Jade Ding Zhenren's face suddenly turned pale, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Junior sister, you are joking. I, the disciples of the Chan Sect, have always been low-key and do not like to compete for supremacy."

"Oh? Really?" Bixiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

Lady Bixiao's words were full of sarcasm. She covered her mouth and chuckled, deliberately raising her voice, and said, "Could it be that the two brothers are afraid? Or do they feel that their strength is not enough to compare with my disciples of Jiejiao, so they just give up? This is not like the style of the Golden Immortal of the Chanjiao."

When the surrounding Jiejiao disciples heard this, they immediately started to mock even more vigorously, their words filled with disdain for Chenjiao.

Most of the Jiejiao disciples were resentful of the Chenjiao disciples, so when they saw the Three Sky taking the lead, they all started to make a fuss.

"That's right, aren't you afraid of losing?"

"I think so too. Maybe they can't even get to the sixth floor!" "Hahaha..."

All kinds of unpleasant and sarcastic voices reached his ears, and veins bulged on Taiyi Zhenren's forehead. He was burning with rage and wished he could immediately teach these ignorant disciples of the Jiejiao a lesson.

But he knew very well that it was not appropriate to act impulsively at this moment, so he could only suppress his anger and grit his teeth.

He was about to open his mouth to refute, but Yunxiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Her tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty: "Okay, Junior Sister, don't say any more."

When Bixiao and Qiongxiao heard what the senior sister said, they immediately shut their mouths and stopped talking.

Queen Yunxiao glanced at the surrounding disciples of Jiejiao, and those disciples suddenly became silent, not daring to make any sound.

Yunxiao's ranking is among the top three, and he is the best among all the disciples!
She then turned to look at Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren and said calmly, "You two senior brothers have come from afar, please don't blame us for not entertaining you well."

Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren hurriedly bowed and said, "You are too polite, Junior Sister."

"I just don't know why the two brothers stopped at the sixth trial tower?" Yun Xiao's tone was calm, but there was a hidden edge. "But what difficulties did you encounter?"

Taiyi Zhenren sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, saying lightly: "It's just a little trouble, not worth mentioning."

"Oh? Really?" Yun Xiao smiled slightly, but his eyes were full of inquiry. "I see that the two brothers have a calm aura, and they don't seem to have encountered a bottleneck. Could it be..."

She paused deliberately, and said in a playful tone, "Are you two senior brothers deliberately hiding your abilities?"

Taiyi Zhenren's heart trembled. Yunxiao was very sharp-minded and actually saw the clues.

He was about to speak, but Jade Ding Zhenren spoke first, "Junior sister, you are joking. How dare we hide our incompetence in the Trial Tower? It's just..." He deliberately showed an embarrassed look, "It's just that when we were on the sixth floor, we tried our best, but the gatekeeper was helpless. Instead, we were accidentally injured by the gatekeeper, so we had to withdraw early."

Yunxiao's gaze was like a deep pool, calm and yet full of endless meaning. She stared at Jade Ding Zhenren quietly, which made him feel a little uneasy.

After a moment, Yunxiao smiled sweetly, like a blooming flower, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"I see!" Her tone was gentle, yet with a barely perceptible sharpness.

"It seems that the difficulty of this trial tower is indeed not small. However, since the two brothers have already come to Jin'ao Island, why not take this opportunity to observe the demeanor of my Jiejiao disciples, so that we can verify each other and make progress together."

Taiyi Zhenren sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior sister, what you said is absolutely right."

Jade Ding Zhenren also quickly agreed, but he was thinking in his heart how to investigate the strength of Jiejiao without leaving any trace.

Yunxiao said no more and turned to leave. Qiongxiao and Bixiao followed closely behind him. Before leaving, Qiongxiao deliberately made a face at Taiyi Zhenren, which made him so angry that he almost couldn't hold back his curse.

After the three sisters walked away, Taiyi Zhenren could no longer suppress his anger and cursed in a low voice: "These three stinky girls are really going too far!"

Jade Ding Zhenren patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, calm down and don't fall for their provocation. Now that we are on Jin'ao Island, it is better to be careful."

Taiyi Zhenren took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Junior brother, what you said makes sense. Let's find a secluded place to discuss the next plan."

The two men found a secluded forest, set up some restrictions, and then began to discuss.

"Junior brother, what do you think the purpose of these three sisters is?" Taiyi Zhenren asked straight to the point.

Jade Ding Zhenren pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, they want to use the name of the Trial Tower to explore the strength of my disciples in order to gain an advantage in the next catastrophe."

The original saint also told them about the upcoming catastrophe, so they were also making some preparations.

"Humph, they have a good plan!" Taiyi Zhenren snorted coldly, "How can we do as they wish? This time, we must go all out and win the first place in the Jiejiao competition to dampen their enthusiasm! With the treasure bestowed by Master, I believe these Jiejiao disciples are nothing to be afraid of!"

Jade Ding Zhenren shook his head and said, "Brother, I see that Yun Xiao's cultivation is unfathomable, I'm afraid he is not someone you can easily deal with. Moreover, although the purpose of our trip is to compete for the first place, the right thing to do is to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of Jiejiao so that we can formulate countermeasures in the future!"

Taiyi Zhenren was somewhat unwilling to accept this and said, "Are we just going to swallow our anger and allow them to humiliate us?"

"Of course not." Jade Ding Zhenren's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "We can observe secretly and look for opportunities to give them a fatal blow. This third stage is a battle. Both sides are in real combat. Since it is a battle, there is a possibility of injury or even accidents..."

He leaned close to Taiyi Zhenren's ear and whispered his plan.

After hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Great idea, great idea! This way, not only can we investigate Jiejiao's true strength, but we can also make them lose face. It's really the best of both worlds!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the colorful glow that enveloped the sky above the Trial Tower slowly dissipated, and the first stage of the trial finally came to an end.

All the Jiejiao disciples looked up at the huge light curtain in the air, which clearly displayed the ranking of this trial.

As expected, the Golden Spirit Mother topped the list with an absolute advantage, and she even made it to the second floor of the seventh trial tower!

With this kind of strength, he is not considered weak even among quasi-saints.

Following closely behind was Yunxiao, whose graceful figure stopped on the first floor of the seventh trial tower.

Later, the Holy Mother Wu Dang, Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao and the seven fairies who attended also achieved good results, demonstrating the powerful foundation of Jiejiao.

Taiyi Zhenren looked at the name of the Golden Spirit Mother on the light screen, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

He gritted his teeth fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! The strength of this Golden Spirit Mother is so terrifying that she has reached the second level of the seventh seat!!"

Jade Ding Zhenren also frowned. He patted Taiyi Zhenren on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Brother, it seems that we need to adjust our previous plan. The strength of Jiejiao is far beyond our expectations. It may not be so easy to plot against them in this competition."

Taiyi Zhenren took a deep breath, trying to calm down the anger in his heart, and said: "Humph, no matter how strong this Golden Spirit Mother is, we are not without a chance! Don't forget, we still have the magic weapon bestowed by our master!"

A sinister light flashed in his eyes. "Besides, this is only the first stage of the trial. The illusion state and actual combat that follow are the real tests! Let's wait and see what happens and find the right time to take action."

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded in agreement.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a barely perceptible hint of ruthlessness in each other's eyes.

This Jiejiao competition is divided into three stages: Trial Tower, Illusionary State and Actual Combat.

The Trial Tower mainly tests the disciples' cultivation and combat skills; the Illusionary Realm tests the disciples' character, requiring them to resist the temptation of various illusions;

Actual combat is a real contest between disciples, the winner advances and the loser is eliminated.

Soon, the second stage of the trial - the illusion of mind began. (End of this chapter)
