Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 231

Lightning beads shot into his body, causing Mu Gong to groan in pain. Immediately after, he spewed out a mouthful of blood, staining the stone platform in front of him.

Mu Gong was on the verge of collapse, and pain and weakness came from all over his body. However, he still forced himself not to fall. He raised his head, and although his expression was calm, it was hard to hide it.

"You won ..."

But even if he admitted his defeat, Mu Gong would not wait for his opponent to defeat him completely. Instead, he took the initiative to jump off the stone platform. This was his last dignity.

Facing all this, Yan Chutian remained indifferent, without the slightest ripple. Because ever since the two of them fought, one of them had to face this outcome.

In other words, if he lost, then the one who would leave the stage was him. So, how could Yan Chutian sympathize with Mu Gong!

Mu Gong took the initiative to admit defeat, so Yan Chutian took back his spirit runes and sat down cross-legged to recuperate.

At the same time, shouts of shock sounded continuously. If it was said that Yan Chutian had defeated Wang Hong, many people would have ignored him, but now that Yan Chutian had defeated Mu Gong, they could not ignore him no matter what.

Because who is Mu Gong? He was one of the top geniuses of the Daluo Sect. It was no exaggeration to say that he was one of the top geniuses who had participated in this exam.

If he did not meet a genius of the same level, then he would definitely obtain a star skull and pass the examination.

But what did they just see? They actually saw that Mu Gong was defeated by a third level cultivator, and it was not a sneak attack, but a direct battle!

"Thou... Mu Gong was completely defeated...!"

"Unbelievably, he was completely defeated by a third level cultivator!"

"How is this possible!?"

The cries of shock continued, but when they suddenly recalled Yan Chutian's appearance, the shouts of shock gradually subsided.

Because to be honest, it was Yan Chutian's appearance that surprised them even more. He was only at the third level, but he had such strength, how could they not be surprised!

Compared to this, it seemed that even Mu Gong's defeat could be reasonably explained.

At the same time, those so-called heaven pride finally understood why Mu Gong treated Yan Chutian so seriously from the very beginning.

How could an ant be casually crushed to death? This was clearly a monster pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!

After recovering for a moment and receiving the reward for defeating Mu Gong, Yan Chutian did not stay any longer. Instead, he continued walking towards the stone platform.

Moreover, it seemed that due to the strength that Yan Chutian displayed when he defeated Mu Gong, the geniuses around him did not dare. They waited for Yan Chutian to climb onto the stone platform before following behind him.

However, Yan Chutian did not know that at the same time he climbed onto the stone platform, on the other side of the Star Tree, there was an indifferent figure who was looking at him with a cold gaze.

Seeing Yan Chutian disappear from the stone platform and rise to a higher level, this figure coldly snorted. "Fuckin' bitch, you actually dare to jump under the Star Tree."

"Pray that you don't meet this Daoist here, otherwise, this Daoist will definitely tell you that without the Altar Spirit Formation to rely on, you are nothing in front of this Daoist!"

After these cold words, the figure immediately turned around and climbed onto the stone platform under the many astonishing gazes.

If Yan Chutian saw him, his eyes would definitely turn cold, as this person who called himself Daoist was naturally one of the Daoist Liu Clan of the Divine Heaven Sect, Liu Qing, whose chance had been snatched away by Yan Chutian and the others. .

Elimination continues. Every time one ascended to a higher level stone platform, one would be knocked out. However, overall, this kind of elimination was not very intense. After all, no one wanted to exhaust their strength first, and they always wanted to retain more.

However, when a situation like this happened, it was difficult to maintain it when a genius reached around half the height of a Star Tree.

This was because a clear light screen would appear on this platform. On each stone platform, only half of the people could ascend to a higher level!

Seeing the words in front of him, Yan Chutian muttered to himself. Along with his murmur, the atmosphere around him became stiff.

This was because it was very clear that half of the people had to be eliminated in order to rise to a higher level, so it was not just one or two people who had been eliminated before.

However, no matter how stiff the atmosphere was, there would be a time when it exploded. Immediately, a huge battle took place on the stone platform, and as the area of the stone platform continued to shrink, such battles were often chaotic.

At the same time, grudges at first became an obvious competition later on, and only half of the people were eliminated!

However, as the fierce battle continued, no one rashly came to Yan Chutian. Perhaps it was because he had just defeated Mu Gong, or perhaps because some geniuses had recognized him.

As the platform continued to change, the geniuses competing for spirit fruits in the lake on that day would always appear. Naturally, they would not forget the amazing Tianji Sect disciples.

Since no one had come to find him, Yan Chutian was naturally happy to see this. While waiting for half of the people to be annihilated, he began to observe his surroundings.

As the elimination neared its end, Yan Chutian was gradually able to see the situation on the stone platform surrounding the Star Tree with his Spiritual Eye.

Although he saw some figures that made him look cold, he was more grateful to see that Qiu Yu, Luo Xue, and Yan Ningzhu had not been knocked out. Of course, this was more or less due to their appearance. The geniuses who considered themselves outstanding naturally did not want to lose their elegance in front of beautiful women when it was unimportant.

However, as the elimination continued, they were also unable to escape.

As they continued to climb towards the crown of the Star Tree, not even Yan Chutian could keep silent. Even if it did not deliberately target him, the chaotic battle would still affect him, forcing him to take action.

In the end, he had no choice but to take action, as new rules had appeared. Only by eliminating a single person could one continue to climb onto the stone platform.

Such a powerful rule made Yan Chutian feel extremely displeased. However, until now, he had no ability to undo it. Hence, he could only accept it, and continue to search for opponents on the stone platform.

After that, each stone platform became extremely lively, as no one could escape. Only by eliminating a single person could one continue to climb onto the stone platform.

As he continued climbing, Yan Chutian also encountered some dangers. Some disciples from the faction were lucky enough to meet each other. Soon, they joined forces to attack Yan Chutian and the other geniuses.

Fortunately, the other geniuses were not stupid. They reacted immediately, and were not defeated one by one. Otherwise, even Yan Chutian would not be able to escape.

After all, two fists were no match for four hands. Among the disciples of that faction, there were two people who were only weaker than Mu Gong.

As he continued to be knocked out, Yan Chutian also met an old acquaintance. He was Hong Gu. Although Hong Gu's appearance had changed a lot compared to before, Yan Chutian could still recognize him at a glance. However, compared to Yan Chutian, Hong Gu's reaction was much greater.

His eyes were filled with shock, as he could not imagine that Yan Chutian had also managed to reach this step!

In his imagination, Yan Chutian should have long since been defeated and escaped. How did he get to this step?

While Hong Gu was shocked, Yan Chutian's expression remained calm. He only glanced at her for a moment before pulling his gaze. Then, he slowly said, "After all, we are from the same sect, so we can support each other. Of course, if you don't want to, let it go."

After all, they were from the same sect. Even if there was a dispute within the sect, Yan Chutian would not be so ruthless. Instead, he was even willing to help.

However, this was not him begging Hong Gu. If he did not want to, then they would have nothing to do with each other.

However, Hong Gu in the end did not refuse, as his thoughts were the same as Yan Chutian's. However, although he agreed, he did not forget to sneer, "I can help you this time, but I can't help you next time. If you can't beat him, leave as soon as you can."

According to Hong Gu, it was nothing more than Yan Chutian's luck for the better. Just like at the Tianji Meeting, if he wasn't unlucky, how could he lose?

Today is different from the past. If they were to fight again, Hong Gu was very confident that he could defeat him!

Hearing this, Yan Chutian did not say anything, only nodded, as if agreeing with Hong Gu's words. He did not want to fight, so he naturally would not argue with words. After all, words were always the most useless thing.
