I Just Want to Live Peacefully
Chapter 16: Holy Son of Qingyun and Shame Jiuyang

Indeed, Jiang Ming did not know much about the Tower of Trials. All he knew was that it was a place where disciples were trained and ranked.

“You know he's lazy. He spent his days in the mountains, not going out. He did not even want to cultivate now. I feel like giving him a kick or two every time I see him, ” Gu Hai said as he glared at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming looked at Gu Hai with an innocent expression.

Yin Yue looked at Gu Hai and said, “How can you do that? Everyone has their own way of life. No need to force something.” Then, he said to Jiang Ming, The “Tray Tower is mysterious

All he knew about it was that it was a place where the disciples practiced and ranked.

“You know he's a lazy man. He spent his days confined to a mountain and never traveled. He did not even want to cultivate now. I have a desire to give him one or two occasional kicks.” Gu Hai looked at Jiang Ming with a sharp look.

He replied with an innocent expression.

“How can you do that? Everyone has their own destiny in life. No need to force something.” First Chair Yin Yue looked at Gu Hai before continuing, “The Exam Tower is a mysterious artifact that we continue to nurture. This is the best place to test the courage and strength of a disciple. The first three floors were meant for False Core disciples; the three floors after that were meant for True Core disciples; the following three floors were meant for Gold Core disciples. Only peerless geniuses were able to reach the last three floors. For the first three floors, the average False Core cultivator was only able to clear the first two floors. They had to stabilize their territory and master a powerful spell before they could clear the third floor. In our sect, less than ten False Core disciples managed to reach the third floor.”.

Yin Yue sighed after she finished speaking.

“It wasn't many people ..” Jiang Ming was surprised by this. He was not too wary of Yin Yue because Gu Hai was rather friendly with Yin Yue. In the past, Yin Yue had also given him medicinal pills for cultivation.

Yin Yue nodded. “Even a peak Gold Core cultivator only had a slim chance of clearing the ninth floor. Based on sect records, only 18 disciples made it through the ninth floor.”

“What?” Jiang Ming was shocked. The False Core cultivators Yin Yue mentioned earlier were those from the current generation, but there were many Gold Core cultivators from the sect over the years. However, only 18 of them made it through the ninth floor? This is a very low number.

“Only three cultivators made it past the tenth level. Sect Master cleared the tenth floor, First Seat of Shaoyang Peak, Hao Chen, cleared the eleventh floor, and only one person completed all twelve floors ..” Yin Yue said with a sigh, sighed, “Unfortunately, that person is not a disciple of Jiuyang Sect. ”

“What?” Jiang Ming felt somewhat speechless. “No one from Jiuyang Sect has cleared the twelve floors of the Test Tower? There are only two people from our sect who entered the last three floors? The person who cleans the twelve floors is..”.

It seemed like the Tower of Trials was much more difficult than he had imagined.

“This is our shame.” Yin Yue sighed again. “Do you know about the extreme state of the Golden Core Realm?”

Jiang Ming nodded. “I'm ready. My master mentioned it before. ”

“You know, you can pass through the ninth floor if you are a peak Golden Core cultivation, an unrivalled genius with rich fighting experience and an unwavering and unwavering spirit. However, the tenth floor was like a dividing line. It was almost impossible to pass through the tenth floor without entering the extreme Golden Core Realm. I challenged the tower when I reached the Purple Mansion Realm, but I did not manage to clear all the floors of the Trial Tower .. “

“Cannot be!”

“It's true. I'm not the only one. Some elders could not even pass the eleventh floor when they were in the early Purple Mansion Realm.”.

“It sounds very difficult…. Then who made it through the 12 floors in the Golden Core Realm? Where's he from?”

“He's Holy Son Qingyun Sect.”

“Secte Qingyun!” Realization appeared in Jiang Ming.

Although the name was ordinary, the Qingyun Sect was a major power not only in the Eastern Region but also in the entire world. This sect was even considered by some to be a mecca of the cultivation world. Needless to say, the Qingyun Sect was much stronger than the Jiuyang Sect.

In all sects, their most powerful disciples would be referred to as Holy Sons or Holy Daughters.

Jiang Ming asked curiously, “What stage is he at?”

“Fifth Extreme Gold Core Nature,” replied Yin Yue.

“He is really talented!”

“She is. Do you admire him, Ming?”

“Of course!”

“Uh... Is this the core of our conversation? I work hard, but I don't want to put all my efforts into cultivating. There are so many things in life that are amazing too. I don't want to waste all my time cultivating in seclusion,” replied Jiang Ming.

“With a deep cultivation base, you will be able to live a long time. With that, you will have all the time in the world to do what you like..”.

“But...my talent is just mediocre, and my success is limited. I don't want to regret not using my time to the maximum if I fail in cultivation. I prefer to live happily every day while cultivating. I might die of old age someday, but it is worth it as long as I can enjoy the beauty this world has to offer.”.

“Bless your soul.” Yin Yue smiled faintly. “It looks like you've thought things through, unlike someone I know. You can also come to me for advice if there is anything you do not understand about cultivation. If this old fart gives you a hard time in the future, you can come and find me. I'll let you join my Peak. ”

Gu Hai looked at the sky with interest, pretending not to hear Yin Yue's words.

“Thank you, First Seat Yin!” Jiang Ming said. He was slightly surprised by Yin Yue's offer.

After which, they returned their attention to the Tower of Trials. Everyone speculated how many floors Zi Linglong could complete. Most people thought he would be able to safely pass through the seventh floor at least. After all, Huo Yun had cleared the seventh floor before.

…

The first floor of the Tower of Trials.

A sign reading ‘Making through the dark corridor’ hung above the stone door.

Zi Linglong looked forward silently, wondering if he should hold back his strength.

After a while, he shook his head. “No need to do that. I am safe in the sect. Even if Yue Cheng conspired against us, he would not dare to move so quickly after I showed my talent. When he finally gathered enough courage to make a move, I could definitely crush him easily. After all, I grew stronger by the day. Those who dare to conspire against me are only seeking death. In this life, I want to make a name for myself as soon as possible. I will protect my future and Senior Brother's! ”

Zi Linglong's determination far exceeded everyone's imagination. He was seriously planning for the future.

Finally, Zi Longlong opened the stone door and stepped inside. It was pitch-black after the door closed. He was no different from a blind man today. The only sound he could hear was his heartbeat. It seemed like there was a strange force that was messing with his senses. Indeed, it would be difficult to get through this without determination and willpower.

Zi Linglong did not hesitate; he did not stop in the slightest as he walked through the first floor.

When he reached the second floor, he saw the False Core wolf demon that he immediately killed with just a stab of his sword.

He proceeded to the third, fourth floor, and fought non-stop.

…

Outside the Test Tower.

The floor lit up accordingly as Zi Linglong ascended.

At this moment, the eighth floor lit up.

Upon seeing this, everyone, including the Sect Master, took a sharp breath.

Immediately after, the ninth floor lit up.

Even Jiang Ming was shocked by this.

‘How did Linglong grow so strong?’ Jiang Ming felt like scratching his head at the thought of this.

Although he had a system, he was only at the 81st Extreme Gold Core Realm. He could easily kill a Purple Mansion Realm expert, but he wasn't sure if he could fight against a Seed Dao cultivator.

Linglong, on the other hand, was only ten years old; he was still a child. Even though he had awakened his phoenix bloodline and progressed rapidly in his cultivation, he had no combat experience. How did he get through the ninth floor so quickly?

‘Is he a transmigrant too?’ Jiang Ming wondered inwardly.
