In the room, Tang Tian and Gu Xiaoxue chatted for a long time.

It seemed like they had returned to the time when they first met at Qingyue Gate.

Back then, Tang Tian knew nothing about cultivation, and Gu Xiaoxue took on the dual roles of protector and teacher, opening the door to cultivation for him.

Until later, Tang Tian's accumulation grew more and more, leaving Gu Xiaoxue far behind.

Now, their roles had completely reversed, with Tang Tian becoming the one giving lectures.

"Your cultivation speed is very fast, but your understanding of the Dao must keep up as well."

"Otherwise, you will only become a strong but empty shell."

Tang Tian said.

However, Gu Xiaoxue didn't seem to be listening attentively, as her attention seemed to be completely drawn to the hairpin in her hand.

"I understand."

"I got it."

"I see."

"Ah, so that's how it is."

Her perfunctory answers made Tang Tian feel frustrated.

"Don't worry, the world loves me, and my realm will definitely keep up with my cultivation."

"As for battles..."

"I still prefer a gambling approach, if I can win, great, if I can't, then it's over."

Gu Xiaoxue said with a playful smile.

Tang Tian shook his head speechlessly.

The gambling approach indeed had its effectiveness, but it was ultimately too extreme.

It was easy for others to figure out one's weaknesses, and then it would be a disaster.

But well, everyone has their own style, and forcibly changing it might not necessarily be a good thing.

There are things that become popular in the cultivation world just like a one-hit wonder.

Forget it, since she likes it, let it be for now.

After all, she is still young, we can talk about it when she grows up.

After downing a cup of wine, Tang Tian realized that he seemed to have developed a liking for this kind of alcohol, as it could soothe various emotions.

"Oh, you like drinking now?"

Sharp-eyed Gu Xiaoxue immediately noticed this.

Tang Tian nodded, "This wine is really good, mellow and refreshing, and it can also enhance the physique."

"Want to give it a try?"

After saying that, he poured a cup for Gu Xiaoxue as well.

Gu Xiaoxue picked up the wine cup, sniffed it under her nose, and then took a sip.

However, she immediately spat it all out.

"Whoa~"

"What is this you're drinking? Why is it so cold?"

"My tongue is frozen!"

Gu Xiaoxue exclaimed in surprise.

Tang Tian was instantly stunned.

Cold?

When he drank it, it clearly felt gentle and warm, where did the cold come from?

Watching Gu Xiaoxue panting and even shedding tears, Tang Tian became even more bewildered.

"Really?"

"Is it so icy?"

"And it made you cry?"

Tang Tian said.

"Huh?"

"I didn't cry."

Gu Xiaoxue instinctively wiped her eyes and looked at the glistening tears on her hand, she also froze.

"Uh..."

"What's going on?"

"I really didn't cry."

Tang Tian fell silent.

This situation was a bit strange.

Could it be that Moon Fairy's wine had different effects on different people?

After a moment of silence, Tang Tian took the wine in front of Gu Xiaoxue back.

"There must be something wrong with the wine."

Tang Tian said.

Gu Xiaoxue wiped her face repeatedly and said, "There must be something wrong."

"I can't stop these tears."

"And... I suddenly feel inexplicably sad."

"It's as if someone very important is no longer here..."

Tang Tian remained silent, this was the first time he had directly witnessed Gu Xiaoxue's abnormality.

Yue Xian specifically gave her hairpin to Xiaoxue, perhaps there was a reason behind it.

"Forget it, maybe women can't handle alcohol."

Tang Tian said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"The Moon Grotto-Heaven will close in a few days. If I want to surpass myself, I need to seize every available moment."

He still didn't want to tell Gu Xiaoxue about Yue Xian.

It wouldn't make much sense, their current strength was still too weak. Even if they knew, they would have no clue and no way to do anything about it, it would only add to their worries.

He would talk about it when he reached the so-called pinnacle of the heavens in the future.

Gu Xiaoxue nodded, wiping away her tears, and walked out of his room.

Fortunately, there was no one outside at this time. Otherwise, they might think Tang Tian had done something to the little girl.

After Gu Xiaoxue left, Tang Tian sat quietly for a while, then contacted Mo Xiaoxiao to inquire about the Celestial Immortal's pinnacle.

Unexpectedly, she had never heard of such a name.

But like Luo Xi, she promised Tang Tian that she would inquire with the elders of the family, and believed that there would be results soon.

Afterwards, Tang Tian sorted out his emotions and entered a state of cultivation.

...

In the following days, Tang Tian continued his cultivation.

With the moon crescent jade pendant given to him by Yue Xian, no matter where he cultivated, it was as if it were the night of the full moon.

In fact, the effect was even better than that night.

Soon, Tang Tian took the final step to become a Celestial Immortal and officially entered the realm of Profound Immortal.

It had only been a little over two months since he entered the Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion.

In such a short period of time, he had crossed two major realms from True Immortal and reached Profound Immortal.

If this kind of heaven-defying cultivation speed were to be revealed, it would surely shock many people.

Moreover, with the moon crescent jade pendant and the mysterious ancient jade, this breakthrough momentum would surely continue for a long time.

But all of this was for the future.

After nearly two months of cultivation, the Moon Grotto-Heaven was finally about to close.

At the same time, the Dragon Gate Trial was just around the corner.

This was the grandest ceremony of the Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion every year, and the most important test for every new disciple.

Almost everyone's attention was focused on the Dragon Gate.

All the disciples were eagerly discussing.

"How many extraordinary geniuses who can ring the nine chimes do you think will appear this time?"

Someone asked.

"It's hard to say, but there will be at least one every year."

"I think that mysterious first-ranked on the Heavenly Rankings, Luo Xi, should be able to achieve such a feat."

Someone replied.

But soon, someone disdainfully said, "Young man, you're still too young."

"Look at the past, how many of the extraordinary geniuses who could ring the nine chimes were ranked first on the Heavenly Rankings?"

"The true monsters are hidden by the Heavenly Mansion. Once they appear, they will shine brightly!"

The person who was retorted immediately argued back, "Who do you think you are? Do you know more than others?"

"Since those monsters are hidden by the Heavenly Mansion, how do you know about them?"

"Did you just imagine it?"

"And my source of information is someone who ranks near the top of the Heavenly Rankings."

"According to him, Luo Xi's strength is not even in the same league as the others on the Heavenly Rankings. If she can't ring the nine chimes, then no one in this generation can!"

The two argued incessantly, their faces red, and even ended up fighting in the end.

But most people still believed in the deterrent power of the first-ranked on the Heavenly Rankings.

Among the many voices, someone suddenly said, "Hey, do you think Tang Tian... is it possible for him to ring the nine chimes?"

As soon as this statement was made, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Don't be ridiculous, do you have some misunderstanding about ringing the nine chimes?"

"I admit that Tang Tian is strong, very strong, but even the first-ranked on the Heavenly Rankings may not achieve such a feat. He's just a second-ranked, forget it."

"The Dragon Gate Trial is not about combat power, but the comprehensive potential of a cultivator. Tang Tian ultimately comes from the outside world, so his foundation is relatively weak. If he can ring six chimes, it would already be a miracle."

"Stop talking, if he can ring nine chimes, I'll eat my own shit!"

"Count me in..."

The majority of people still didn't have high hopes for Tang Tian.

Because there were precedents.

Even the powerful Fairy Leng Luo, now known as Fairy Leng Xun, could only ring six chimes back then.

The fundamental reason was that she came from the outside world and had a relatively weak foundation.

After making up for the deficiencies, she began to soar and eventually reached the position of Immortal Venerable.

Compared to her, Tang Tian was still just a new disciple.

Under such an atmosphere, the time for the Dragon Gate to open finally arrived.
