Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 602 - The Demon Heart Dao Tribulation
Since its inception, the Oblique Deep Ocean has been a cruel and heartless region. In this place there was no one who could defeat the guards in every test. If there were any, then they would only have a balanced strength.
However please note, the current place Qin Shan was at was Fifth Examination Island. Compared to the Examination Island in other places, the guards on this island were unreasonable creatures. In Ji Zhufei's opinion, the guards on this island were even likely to have strength of one level above Heavenly God. This showed that the guards in this place were extremely strong and unrivalled.
In reality, Qin Shan alone was still a Great Circle stage Immortal Venerable, if he really fought with the guards in this place then he would definitely not be able to defeat him. It was most likely that the 'guard' was a cultivator at the Golden Immortal stage or even higher.
But because of this Qin Shan became quite curious. The Laws of Heaven and Earth in the Three Realm were not as complete and stable as in the Immortal World, was it possible for someone above the Immortal Venerable stage to settle in this world? The more Qin Shan thought about it, the more he became inexhaustible.
Noticing the shocked and incredulous expressions displayed by his followers, Qin Shan laughed coldly inwardly. He thought that most likely in the next exam the same thing would happen now. He will be allowed to pass without any tests at all.
“After a second thought, maybe all of this has something to do with the White-robed Ghost you met on the Third Examination Island some time ago.” Ji Zhufei muttered and he seemed to be thinking.
“Agree.” Qin Shan nodded his head. No matter how strange and senseless the incident he experienced, it must have been based on something. The White-robed Ghost he had encountered back then was the most plausible reason why all of this could happen.
On the island Qin Shan continued to wait for some time until finally all the water in the pond had been drained. At this moment, he could hear a loud crack coming from above the sky.
*Kronan...* the array of formations that enveloped the island slowly began to disintegrate and allowed Qin Shan to advance to the next test island.
Actually Qin Shan felt it was very strange why he did not get any rewards after completing every exam that was in the Oblique Deep Ocean. Until now, he had not even received anything from his completion in each Examination directly. After thinking further, Qin Shan immediately threw away that thought and went towards the Next Examination Island.
“What do I expect from this place? If this place is an Immortal castle ruins then I will probably obtain one or two items that are quite valuable. But this place is somewhere to do penance. There is nothing here but suffering and cruelty.”
…
With Qin Shan's current speed alone, it took him months to finally arrive at a fairly small island.
Qin Shan was at first unsure whether the island he was visiting at this moment was really the Sixth Examination Island. Because in this place there is no strangeness or awkwardness at all. It is like an ordinary island in general.
But after a while, Qin Shan immediately threw away his thoughts and became very confident that this sissy was the Third Examination Island when he saw a stone altar located on the outskirts of the island.
The existence of the stone altar was very hidden and was in the middle of a very lush and large bush. In addition, the stone altar seemed to have a very strange energy fluctuation that could disguise its existence.
Qin Shan did not ask Ji Zhufei about this Sixth Trial because indeed that person had never been to this place. After suffering a severe trauma on Fifth Examination Island, Ji Zhufei did not continue on his journey and chose to return to where he came from.
Qin Shan quickly approached the stone altar that was in the middle of a thicket. Then he began to burn the shrub until a knee-high stone altar could be seen behind it. On the surface of that stone altar, Qin Shan scanned using his Spiritual Will and found a few sentences engraved there.
“Finding needles in haystacks is indeed a difficult thing. But finding a different grain of sand in a vast desert is much more difficult. Is a million years is enough time to find it?” Qin Shan read the sentence and his heart started pounding. It seemed like in this place he had to find something very small in a very large place. The sentence even added the word 'one million years' to reinforce that the Sixth Examination was a very difficult test.
*whoosh...* In just a very short time, the entire island has been shrouded by an array of extremely powerful barriers and it is impossible for anyone to pass through. However, after a while Qin Shan felt that something was strange.
There's no change. Not a very wide desert and nothing looks suspicious. After some time, the formation array on the island immediately collapsed and opened the way for Qin Shan to advance to the next Examination Island. Again he passed the Examination Island just like that without any effort at all.
This was shocking and unacceptable, but the followers of Qin Shan did not think so. They still looked calm and ordinary, from the beginning their Master this was something more than 'unreasonable'. So why should they be surprised for the umpteenth time?
Qin Shan laughed out loud and he without wasting any time immediately left the Sixth Examination Island to head for the final Examination Island.
Different from the previous one, it turned out that Qin Shan only took a few days to arrive at the last island. In addition he was very surprised to see that the last exam island was very different from the previous islands.
“Island drifting? Why do I stone know that there is a place like this in Oblique Deep Ocean?” Ji Zhufei who was inside Lotus Island was seen frowning and he became quite surprised.
Keep in mind, the Ji Zhufei are an indigenous tribe that inhabited the Oblique Deep Ocean region for countless years. During that time he had learned enough of the secrets of the Oblique Deep Ocean that he felt that this place was like home to him. However, he had never seen or heard of the floating island at all.
Ji Zhufei admitted that he had not fully explored the Oblique Deep Ocean, but still he should have known what kind of place the final Examination took place in.
“I sensed there was something strange above that floating island. Looks like I should go up there and check it out.” Qin Shan said and he immediately flew over the floating island.
The floating island only had one main island that was even wider than the Third Examination Island. This island seemed to be a region that was deliberately torn from the world and hung far above the sky. This island was even more than enough to house ten billion humans within it. Very big!
“Energies are very terrible.” when setting foot on the Floating Island, Qin Shan suddenly felt his hair standing up and his body shaking violently. In addition to the monstrous energy emitted by the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods, the monstrous energy in this place had also managed to make Qin Shan shudder in fear.
Floating Island is far from the initial estimate of Qin Shan, it turns out that on the surface of this island only has flat rocky soil and nothing on it. Not even a single blade of grass was visible to the body here.
In the middle of the island Qin Shan could see a prayer mat several hundred meters long that exuded a gripping and claustrophobic aura. This energy was even far more terrifying than his Dao of The Demon. Then on top of the prayer mat was hung a few words that exuded an aura of boundless spirituality from the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
“Does of the Demon Heart.”
