Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 48

Yan Chutian brought the girl back to the inn. With his mysterious background, it was certainly not a problem for him to stay in the inn.

After settling in the inn, Yan Chutian brought the girl to Mu Wan's room. During the process, he exchanged identities with the girl and learned that the girl's name was Yan Ningzhu.

After knocking on the door, the door opened for a moment. The same beautiful face is beginning to look. However, when this flawless face looked at the girl behind Yan Chutian, her soft brows instantly wrinkled.

Yan Chutian knew that Mu Wan might misunderstand, but this was not the time to talk outside. He could only bring Yan Ningzhu to the room first before explaining to Mu Wan.

After an explanation, Mu Wan's furrowed brows gradually loosened. Since it was related to the quota for safe passage, he naturally agreed. He had a simple conversation with Yan Ningzhu and exchanged identities.

After Yan Ningzhu returned to her room, Yan Chutian was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he sat in a corner of the room and sipped his tea.

"Is he reliable?"

Suddenly, Mu Wan asked gently. They cannot afford to lose their quota for safe travel. Of course, they would not feel comfortable if a mysterious woman suddenly appeared.

However, Yan Chutian could not answer Mu Wan's question. He also did not know much about Yan Ningzhu, so he could only guess. "He has his own secrets. However, it was true that he wanted to enter the Central Plains. Therefore, his cooperation must be real."

"As long as we enter the Central Plains, we can part with it. Whether he had other intentions or not, it had nothing to do with us."

Hearing this, Mu Wan did not say anything more. She closed her beautiful eyes and quietly sat cross-legged. After closing his eyes for a moment, Mu Wan suddenly opened them again. He looked at Yan Chutian who had taken his teacup and took another sip. Confused, he asked, "Why don't you go?"

"Ehem..."

"Go .. I understand …"

Yan Chutian looked embarrassed. He suddenly remembered that the woman in front of him was not Qiu Yu, but Mu Wan, so he immediately put down his cup and left the room.

…

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Yan Chutian continued to consolidate his cultivation. He had just entered the Spirit Transformation Realm and was nearing the middle stage. Breaking into the center of the stage was near. On the other hand, Mu Wan's progress was much faster than him. Yan Chutian understood that this was more or less due to Qiu Yu's help. Even if he was jealous, he could do nothing.

As he continued to cultivate, the effects of the Spirit Gathering Plate became even smaller. This made Yan Chutian realize that it was very important to make the Spirit Gathering Plate into a stronger Spirit Gathering Array. However, even in this Central Plains City, the materials needed to create the Spirit Gathering Array were not enough. Within half a month, he had only managed to gather around seventy to eighty percent.

As for making the Spirit Gathering Plate stronger, Yan Chutian thought about it for a while and did not think about it anymore. Such a Spirit Gathering Plate would be much larger than the one he had now and could not be put aside like a Spirit Gathering Array. It would be too much trouble to carry around.

At this moment, standing in the corridor of the inn, Yan Chutian looked at Mu Wan and Yan Ningzhu, who were walking slowly out of their rooms. He slowly said, "Let's go. There were already many cultivators gathered in the square. Three trials can start at any time."

"Mh."

Hearing this voice, Yan Chutian could not help but smile helplessly. At this moment, his heart gradually became warm-blooded. It was as if he was looking forward to an incredible competition for places.

It seemed that even though his consciousness had undergone hundreds of battles, his body was still immature!

As the three of them exited the inn and walked towards the plaza of Central Plains City, they saw a sea of humans in the distance.

There was an open space in the middle of the crowd, and there was a dragon-shaped pillar that was quietly placed there. It is powerful and dominating.

There were several figures wearing different clothes guarding the dragon pillar. Their bodies exuded a terrifying aura of spirit power, showing their powerful strength in the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even if there were stronger cultivators in the crowd, they did not dare to act presumptuously in front of these guards. That is because each type of clothing represents a force, and is the face of a force. Who would dare slap their faces in public?

Even when Yan Chutian's three-man group mingled with the crowd, the crowd was still silent. This silence lasted for a long time until the sun was high in the sky. Then, a mysterious aura shot out from an unknown place and descended beside the dragon pillar.

They were all middle-aged men, women, or old men. Every single one of them had an extremely powerful aura, and when they arrived, the guards lowered their heads and bowed respectfully. From here, it was not difficult to guess their identity. They were definitely experts sent by eight additional troops, and this time were responsible for the distribution of the empty places.

After all, the strength of the five regions was underestimated to deal with this sort of thing. They just need to set up their own people to get in and out of the safe lane.

When this supervisor appeared, the surrounding people all lowered their heads. Even Yan Chutian and Mu Wan lowered their heads to avoid unnecessary trouble. Only Yan Ningzhu lowered her head and looked around. When she saw that the people she was worried about were not among them, she heaved a sigh of relief and her beautiful face became more relaxed.

Immediately after, a thin white-haired old woman with wooden crutches stepped forward. He narrowed his old eyes and slowly glanced at the crowd. He coughed softly and said in a hoarse voice, "This time, there are a total of thirty-three empty spots on the safe path No: 3. So, you only have thirty-three chances."

"I won't say much. This time, only those who passed the three tests would be eligible for a spot. However, before you graduate, you need to prove that you have the power to pass. As long as you can do it black bead on the mouth of the shining dragon pillar, you will prove your qualifications. Everyone only has two chances to prove themselves."

As her voice fell, the old woman gestured to the two guardians with her eyes. The two immediately walked forward with pen and paper in hand. They shouted, "Those who want to fight for a place, go ahead and prove your qualifications in the Dragon Pillar. We'll leave your name on the list so you can participate in three checkpoints."

When he finished speaking, a figure walked out from the crowd and landed in front of the dragon pillar.

This is a young man about 20 years old. He had a proud expression and a powerful aura. He had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. However, his spirit power was still impure. Even though he had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, it was only a short period of time, so his spirit power had not completely changed.

But overall, his cultivation was considered to be in the middle or even slightly above average among the people around him.

However, when the Spirit Transformation youth gathered all of his spirit power and threw out a punch, he could not make the dragon bead on the dragon pillar shine at all. This caused a commotion. Could it be that the difficulty of making the dragon bead shine was so high?

"This …"

Spirit Transformation Cultivators found it hard to believe. He did not believe that the punch he had accumulated with all his strength could not even obtain the qualification to participate in the three tests.

"You still have a second chance."
