Chapter 202 Xuandu Trial! Martial Arts Secret Realm! You poor bastard, get lost!

Laozi was refining elixirs when he saw Xuandu arrive. He paused his work, smiled, and asked, "Xuandu, what brings you to your master?"

Xuan Du bowed respectfully and then gave a detailed report to Laozi on the opening of the trial grounds to the human race. He concluded by saying, "Master, all the races of the primordial world are now eager to participate in the trials. I wonder if our Human Sect can also join in?"

After listening, Laozi remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I will discuss this with the Sage and then give you my reply."

"Yes!" Xuan Du stood respectfully to the side, awaiting the answer.

Laozi closed his eyes and began to communicate with his true self, Laozi.

On Mount Kunlun, the Three Pure Ones gathered together to discuss the matter of opening the trial grounds to the human race.

Laozi sat in the main seat and asked in a deep voice, "My two junior brothers, what are your thoughts on the human race's actions this time?"

Tongtian exclaimed in admiration, "Lu Yun is indeed extraordinary. His magnanimity and vision far surpass those of ordinary people. Opening the trial grounds to all races of the prehistoric world is not only beneficial to the development of the human race, but also of immense benefit to all races of the prehistoric world. We disciples of the three religions can naturally participate and progress together."

However, Yuanshi had a different opinion. He frowned and said, "We are now competitors with Lu Yun. Would it be beneath the dignity of the Three Pure Ones to send our disciples to participate in his pioneering trials? I believe we should keep our distance and observe the situation."

Tongtian shook his head and said, "Second brother, you are too concerned about saving face. The path of cultivation is about pursuing higher realms and power. Why get bogged down in these worldly disputes? Besides, Lu Yun's reputation on the path to enlightenment is soaring in the prehistoric world. If we turn a blind eye, wouldn't we be letting our disciples miss out on an opportunity?"

Yuanshi said in a deep voice, "I do not yet know what the outcome will be. But I do know that if Lu Yun intends to tamper with the trial, wouldn't we disciples be in danger? Moreover, if we disciples were to go and request the trial, only to be turned away, wouldn't we be humiliating ourselves?"

The two held their own opinions and neither could convince the other, so they argued endlessly.

Seeing his two junior brothers arguing, Laozi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Since you both have your reasons, let Xuandu give it a try first."

Yuanshi and Tongtian were both taken aback, but they quickly understood what Laozi meant.

As the eldest disciple of the Human Sect, Xuandu is an excellent choice in terms of both cultivation and temperament.

Let him go to the trial grounds to scout things out first. Once he's sure there are no problems, it won't be too late to let the disciples from the other two sects participate.

At the same time, Xuandu is a human, so going to the trial as a human, even if he is rejected, will not affect the reputation of the Three Pure Ones.

Thinking of this, Tongtian readily agreed, "Senior Brother's suggestion is excellent! Let Xuandu go and give it a try first."

Although Yuanshi Tianzun was still somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to agree, "Then let's do as our senior brother says."

So the three Pure Ones each transmitted their voices to their disciples.

After receiving the reply, the Old Man of the South Pole and Daoist Duobao immediately rushed back to Shouyang Mountain to reunite with their fellow disciples.

They were filled with anticipation and curiosity, wondering what gains and experiences this trial would bring them.

Meanwhile, the Three Pure Ones continued to monitor the movements of the Trial Grounds, preparing to respond to any possible situations.

Shouyang Mountain, within the Eight Views Palace.

Laozi opened his eyes and said to Xuandu, "Go, Xuandu! Represent the disciples of the three religions, go to the human race's trial grounds to cultivate. This is also a good opportunity to improve your cultivation."

Xuandu was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Master!"

Laozi smiled and nodded, watching Xuandu leave, before continuing to refine his elixirs.

This batch of pills was still made for the human race.

Because, at present, this is still a method to help humanity increase its fortune. Although the effect is minimal, at least it prevents the human race's fortune from flowing overwhelmingly to Lu Yun.

Xuan Du left the Eight Views Palace, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he headed straight for the foot of Shouyang Mountain. His destination was the first trial ground in the second half of the human race's path to enlightenment.

This trial ground was originally a desolate place, but it gradually became lively after one of Lu Yun's avatars created this secret realm.

A large number of humans spontaneously came here and built a magnificent city for the cultivators who came to undergo trials to rest and communicate.

When Xuandu arrived in this great city, he was also deeply shocked by the scene before him.

The city was bustling with activity. Besides humans, he also saw cultivators from many other races, some chatting in small groups, others cultivating alone with their eyes closed, awaiting the start of the trials.

Xuandu walked through the bustling crowd, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice calling him.

"Senior Brother Xuandu!"

Xuandu turned his head and saw that it was Guang Chengzi of the Chan Sect and Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect, among others.

They had clearly received advance notice from Daoist Duobao and the Antarctic Immortal, and came specifically to observe the situation.

"So it's Junior Brother Guang Chengzi and Junior Brother Zhao Gongming. It seems you already knew?" Xuandu greeted them with a smile.

Zhao Gongming nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Xuandu. This trial ground is of great help to cultivation, and we don't want to miss this opportunity."

Guang Chengzi echoed, "Now we'll see how Senior Brother Xuandu's trial goes."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group headed together toward the entrance to the secret realm.

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators.

"Look! Isn't that Xuan Du from the Human Sect? What's he doing here?"

"It's not just him; look at the people next to him, they seem to be disciples of the Chan and Jie sects!"

"Why are disciples of the three religions joining in this fun?"

"Don't the Three Pure Ones have their own cultivation methods? Why would they covet the human race's path to enlightenment?"

The surrounding cultivators began to discuss among themselves, expressing their surprise and curiosity at the arrival of the disciples from the three religions.

However, Xuan Du and the others ignored the discussions. They walked straight to the entrance of the secret realm, ready to begin their trials.

Xuan Du stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to the gatekeeper, and said, "Xuan Du of the human race requests entry into the Trial Realm."

The gatekeeper glanced at Xuandu and the others, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. But he didn't say anything more, only nodding and saying, "Since you are human and your cultivation level is suitable, you can enter the trial realm."

He took out a token and handed it to Xuandu, saying, "If you can't hold on any longer, immediately crush the token, and you'll be fine."

As the gatekeeper finished speaking, Xuandu felt a sudden brightness before his eyes, and then he was swept into the secret realm by an invisible force.

His trial journey has officially begun.

Guang Chengzi, Zhao Gongming, and other disciples of the Chan and Jie sects became nervous.

People from other races around were also paying close attention to this place, waiting for the results of Xuandu's trial.

Xuandu entered the secret realm and immediately felt completely isolated from the outside world.

He felt as if he were in his own little world, a feeling that made him deeply admire Lu Yun's strength.

The fact that such a secret realm could evolve is truly extraordinary.

Immediately, he began to carefully observe his surroundings.

As far as he knew, this secret realm should have been transformed from Lu Yun's martial arts avatar, Lu Wu, so the trials here were mostly related to martial arts.

Just as he was pondering this, the trial's attack arrived.

"Boom!"

Xuandu felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was surrounded by countless figures.

These figures moved swiftly, their fists and feet flying like the wind, each strike containing immense power, earth-shattering.

Xuan Du's heart tightened. He could feel the power of these attacks; even a Golden Immortal would be greatly threatened here.

In fact, this is not too surprising.

After all, Lu Yun has been passing down martial arts in the prehistoric world for a very long time.

Today, martial arts in the primordial world have developed tremendously, with many humans creating various martial arts techniques, including some powerful martial arts supernatural abilities!

Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Xuandu remained calm, after all, he was far more than just a Golden Immortal.

However, despite his profound cultivation, he did not choose to fight with brute force. After some thought, he decided to use the literary supernatural abilities he had learned from Lu Yun to counter these attacks.

Xuan Du took a deep breath and began to recite a poem he had written.

"Buzz!"

As his recitation began, a rich literary aura began to permeate the surrounding air. This aura gradually condensed into rays of light, firmly protecting Xuandu within.

The figure's attacks landed on the radiant literary energy and were immediately neutralized.

Xuan Du felt as if there was an indestructible barrier around his body, protecting him completely.

A slight smile played on his lips as he strode toward a portal-shaped structure ahead.

Protected by the radiant aura, Xuandu successfully passed through the first level of the secret realm.

He arrived at the second floor, only to find that the attack methods had changed again. It was no longer a barrage of punches and kicks, but attacks from various weapons.

Countless weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, came crashing down, each strike incredibly fierce, as if capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart!

Xuan Du remained calm and once again activated his literary divine power.

A giant calligraphy brush appeared in his hand, its tip shimmering with brilliant light. He wielded the brush with such skill that each stroke contained a powerful literary force.

These literary energies condensed into ancient characters in the air, and then swiftly flew towards the incoming weapons.

As the words flew out, the weapons seemed to freeze in mid-air, unable to move forward. Xuan Du seized the opportunity to wield his brush, drawing mysterious trajectories in the air. These trajectories instantly transformed into chains of literary energy, binding the weapons.

Although it could only restrain him for a moment, it was enough for him to pass this trial.

Thus, under Xuandu's literary and spiritual powers, he neutralized the attacks from the second layer of the secret realm one by one.

Seeing another portal-shaped halo appear ahead, Xuan Du knew that the trial in this secret realm was far from over.

He took a deep breath, stepped through the portal, entered the third level, and prepared to face the challenges ahead.

But just as he entered the third floor—

"boom!"

He suddenly felt as if a terrifying mountain was pressing down on him, as if it would crush him to pieces!

Xuandu was horrified.

You must know, he is now a Taiyi Golden Immortal, yet he couldn't withstand the pressure of this trial realm?

That's just too outrageous!

Before he could recover, he felt that his physical body and primordial spirit were about to break apart.

His expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, he crushed the jade tablet. Instantly, he felt the pressure on his entire body dissipate, and then he disappeared from the secret realm and returned to the primordial land.

When everyone saw Xuan Du suddenly appear from the secret realm, they excitedly surrounded him. They curiously examined Xuan Du, trying to discern the results of his trial from him.

Guang Chengzi of the Chan Sect, Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect, and Duobao, the Antarctic Immortal, and others who had just arrived were all focused on Xuandu.

"Senior Brother Xuandu, how was the trial?" Guang Chengzi couldn't help but ask first.

Xuan Du had just experienced a harrowing trial, and his mind was not yet fully recovered. He took a deep breath and did not immediately answer Guang Chengzi's question.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that he had a jade slip in his hand, and he was taken aback.

He examined the jade slip with suspicion and quickly discovered that it contained a powerful sword technique. This technique was profound and mysterious, clearly not an ordinary object. Xuan Du was secretly delighted; this was obviously a gain he had made during the trial.

"Everyone, I need to go back and meditate to digest this information." Xuan Du said hastily, ignoring everyone, and then quickly left the scene.

He knew in his heart that this sword technique was a rare opportunity for him, and he had to comprehend its mysteries as soon as possible.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, sensing from Xuan Du's reaction the immense benefits they had gained from the trial.

Immediately, everyone was eager to enter the trial realm themselves and explore its mysteries.

Daoist Duobao was the first to step forward, indicating that he wanted to participate in the trial. He walked to the entrance of the secret realm and said to the old man guarding the gate, "I want to enter the trial realm."

The old gatekeeper glanced at Daoist Duobao and said calmly, "To enter the trial realm, you need to pay a high-grade innate spiritual fruit as a fee."

Before Daoist Duobao could speak, Guangchengzi became dissatisfied.

Guang Chengzi said, "Why is it free for Xuandu to enter the secret realm, while we have to pay a fee?"

The old man guarding the gate said calmly, "He is a human."

Guang Chengzi was speechless.

The Old Man of the South Pole frowned and said, "This fee is a bit too high!"

Even a top-grade innate spiritual fruit is considered extremely precious to these disciples of the three religions.

The old man guarding the gate glanced at him and said coldly, "Poor bastard, get lost!"

"you!"

The Old Man of the South Pole was furious and wanted to retaliate.

Before he could make a move, he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure enveloping him, causing him to stumble backward and almost fall to the ground.

He stared at the old gatekeeper in disbelief, saying, "A Great Luo Golden Immortal? When did the human race produce a Great Luo Golden Immortal like you?!"

The old gatekeeper slowly withdrew his oppressive aura, but instead asked, "When did I ever say I was human?"
