Chapter 30: Mountain Trial
The mountains in front were becoming bigger and bigger as we got closer.
I lay on the back of the bird, watching this beautiful scenery. As this eagle continued to move closer to the mountains. More and more mountains came into view.
"So, beautiful..."
The woman’s voice came from behind.
Well, Nature’s beauty had always been amazing. It’s just that we don’t view it from the right angle. We form an opinion according to the side we saw.
"A Fairy Palace."
I stood up and looked in the direction the woman was pointing. A purple palace stood on the top of the largest mountains in this place. Surrounded by clouds, since I came to this place, I haven’t seen a single cloud in the sky, but here, this whole mountain top was surrounded by white clouds, and I could barely look at the outline of its tips.
The purple Palace was even above the clouds, like the woman mentioned, it was truly a Fairy palace in the sky.
I ordered this eagle to move towards the palace. As we got closer, more and more details were visible. This palace was made of some type of purple crystal, covered in some strange runes, giving it more mythical vibes.
As we were closer...
"Aa..."
The bird fell from the sky like its wings had been cut off. As we were falling, the Immortal kid used his golden threads to catch us all together. But he wasn’t able to use any flying tools.
Everyone was looking at me except the Little Black, who had taken out his tongue to enjoy this moment to the fullest.
’My choice wasn’t wrong; he is definitely worthy enough to follow by my side.’
I looked at the beautiful scenery around me, while falling from the sky, fulfilling one of my oldest dreams.
As we were about to reach ground, I stretched my hand, summoning a fire phoenix. We all sat above its back while that eagle continued to fall. I decided to save him, too. The fiery phoenix stretched its claws, grabbing the giant eagle, which was like a small bird in its claws.
Flying through the forest, we moved closer to the ground, landing at the foot of the mountain. After we reached the ground, the fiery phoenix dispersed in the wind.
I looked at everyone, all of them were safe, even that eagle was safe too. As I was looking at everyone, a voice came from behind.
"Where are you all from? Which sect?"
I turned to a newcomer. When I turned around, it wasn’t a single person; there were a total of three, among them a boy riding the black horse, who stood in front looking at us in a questionable tone.
I looked at him for a bit and decided to answer his question, so I could get to know a few more things about this place.
We are from the Celestial continent. These are my servants, I pointed at the Immortal Kid and the Woman, and this one is my Royal pet, I continued pointing at Little Black. As for me, I am just a young emperor.
"Huh! Who the hell are you trying to fool? Tell me your identity or..."
I ignored the boy; these three kids are definitely from the same sect; their attire is the same. As I was contemplating a bit. Immortal Kid stepped forward, calling out these kids directly.
"How dare you guys disrespect our emperor?"
A few minutes later, we were riding the horses moving towards the mountain where the purple palace was. While those kids wrapped in the golden threads were walking in front of us.
In the meantime, I also got to know more things about from these people and some more information which Immortal remembers from the Dragon God sect.
Well, this place is basically a trial ground for Immortal inheritance left behind by a True Immortal in the Past Era. With a bit of extra information from Immortal Kid, I got to know that this place only opens once every 1000 years.
Giving opportunity to people to become True Immortals, and this place had existed for more than 10,000 years, according to ancient records from the Dragon God sect. Though no one has ever found the true immortal inheritance, the gains were enough to make one untouchable in the same era.
Every single person who passes the trials has their name written in history. Even one of the sect leaders of the Dragon God sect got some treasure from here, but there was no record of the treasure he got.
Whenever the trial ground opens, all the sects in the continent, even from different nations, send their disciples for trial. This isn’t just a trial; it has a huge impact on the future of the content and even the world.
Well, technically, it’s just a place for chaos. And I’m going straight in there instead of avoiding it.
Half an hour later, we stood in front of the large crowd filled with lots of people wearing different sects’ uniforms.
When we entered this place, all eyes were fixed on us as we came forward. As we were moving forward, a boy carrying a black sword stopped us. Horses are not from here on. This guy’s age should be similar to Immortal Kid’s. But his calm eyes and Black Sword really make him stand out in the crowd.
Well, not really, it’s just his tattered clothes are the ones that make him stand out in the crowd. But I decided to follow his words because I just liked him.
As I jumped down from the horse, others followed along. Instead of going forward, I went to this Black Sword boy.
Can I look at your sword?
"Hm"
He casually gave it to me.
’I thought he would reject me, and I have to do it with force. Well, Good for him.’
I looked at the black sword; it was quite a rare metal, an icy-cold, black sword.
Your sword is really good.
"Thank you."
I place the sword blade in the midst of my two figures, casually using a little bit of sword qi, and the sword snapped in the middle, breaking into two parts, falling on the ground.
Opps, maybe it wasn’t that good.
The boy bent down to pick up the broken sword. Without saying a word, he turned and left. While I was waiting for him to lash out at me. But he didn’t follow the script.
Hey, you stopped there.
He paused, turned around and asked.
"What"
