Chapter 175 - 175: Is Tianti Road Really That Terrifying? _1

Translator: 549690339

“Qin Changqing?” MO Ziya shook his head, “This kid only has a Tier 6 Golden Elixir, and although his aura is strong, his Golden Elixir quality is probably only Third Grade. So, it shouldn’t be him.”

Third Grade Golden Elixir was already very powerful for ordinary people, but far from enough for someone carrying the Purple Star Destiny.

Qin Changqing’s real Golden Elixir was beyond First Grade, but he could control his aura’s output and pick any of the other three Golden Elixirs to deceive others into misjudging his cultivation level and Golden Elixir quality.

Everyone nodded after hearing MO Ziya’s words.

“Let’s just keep observing.”

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, Qin Changqing did not cultivate. In the mornings, he practiced dual cultivation with Qin Lingshuang and the others, always adhering to the principle that the best time for planning was at dawn.

In the afternoons, he went to stroll around Taiyi Academy.

He originally wanted to communicate and build rapport with Qingning, but to his disappointment, she hadn’t left her room for three days.

Hey, Qingning, I’m quite familiar with your Master!

He also wanted to go to Qiushui Pavilion’s resting area, but as soon as he approached the entrance, a terrifying spiritual qi shattered the path under his feet.

Although no one inside spoke, Qin Changqing could sense a strong sense of crisis. He knew that if he dared to take another step forward, he would either die or be seriously injured!

Left with no other choice, Qin Changqing went to other places to take a look at the beaut… ahem, observe the beauty.

Life is full of beauty; what’s lacking is only the ability to discover it.

Strangely enough, no matter which sect he went to, the people hid their female disciples tightly, as if they were worried that he would stare at them for too long.

Qin Changqing was speechless.

Am I a demon or something?

Do I, who have such graceful bearing and handsome appearance, need to be avoided like this?

I won’t eat people!

The people from the Huntian Sect didn’t hide, but under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qin Changqing didn’t dare to interact much with them either. Helpless, he could only stroll around and enjoy the scenery.

Three days later, Tianti Road officially opened!

During these three days, loose cultivators had arrived at Taiyi Academy one after another. Qin Changqing found that Taiyi Academy really had no airs of a major sect. Whether it was the loose cultivators or the major sects, they were all treated properly once they arrived.

Of course, just because Taiyi Academy didn’t put on airs didn’t mean it could be bullied.

On the contrary, no one dared to cause trouble within Taiyi Academy.

At this moment, a group of people followed MO Ziya’s lead and arrived in front of a mountain range inside Taiyi Academy.

This mountain range was towering and imposing. With Qin Changqing’s current cultivation, he couldn’t see the top and couldn’t sense any information about the mountain. It seemed as if an invisible force bounced all power off.

Everyone gathered.

“Senior Brother, look there.” Nangong Xue whispered to him.

Qin Changqing followed her gaze and saw an unfamiliar figure in the midst of Wanjian Pavilion’s crowd.

That person wore light yellow clothes with unusually high ponytail. She looked more like a chivalrous martial artist than a cultivator.

“That’s Jian Yiyi from Wanjian Pavilion, currently ranked first on the Outstanding Talents List.”

“Jian Yiyi? She’s a woman?” Qin Changqing was astonished.

Nangong Xue’s mouth twitched slightly, wasn’t Senior Brother focusing on the wrong thing?

“She’s very strong; try to avoid her when you go up Tianti Road later.”

There were a total of 9,999 levels on Tianti Road, with the structure narrowing upward like a pyramid. In other words, although many people would swarm in at first, it would be difficult to come across each other. But if you were strong enough to reach the end, you would inevitably encounter others eventually.

Nangong Xue knew that Qin Changqing’s combat prowess was extraordinary, but facing Jian Yiyi, he would definitely stand no chance. Even she, who had cultivated four stripes, did not dare to say she could defeat Jian Yiyi.While the two were talking, Jian Yiyi seemed to notice something and turned her head toward them, waving and flashing a radiant smile.

Qin Changqing was startled: “She seems quite friendly. Do you know her?”

Nangong Xue said: “Not exactly. We’ve only met a few times. Jian Yiyi is like this, she’s more like a swordsman than a cultivator of the sword.

Swordsman referred to those from the world of martial arts.

Sword cultivators referred to those who cultivated their skills.

Qin Changqing instantly understood. He was no stranger to odd characters.

“Lingshuang!” A man came over from the direction of Dayan Dynasty.

It was Qin Ruobing.

Qin Lingshuang stood by Qin Changqing’s side. She looked at Qin Ruobing and asked: “What’s the matter?”

“There’s still time to change your mind.” Qin Ruobing stared at Qin Changqing with a malicious gaze. “There’s no future in following him. If you stubbornly persist, I’ll have to take action against you on the Tianti Road for the sake of the Qin family!”

“Sister, I have already said that my decision will not change.” Qin Lingshuang calmly replied. “Very well. ”

Qin Ruobing narrowed her eyes as she looked at Qin Changqing and Qin

Lingshuang: “On the Tianti Road, I will stop you.”

Qin Changqing shook his head: “I would say go ahead and try, but it’s not polite to say that to my sister-in-law. So, you came to Tianti Road just for this? Tsk Your mindset is so limited, it’ll be hard to achieve anything great.”

Qin Ruobing snorted coldly: “How would you understand? As a member of the Qin family, the survival of the family hinges on a single thought. If Lingshuang becomes the family’s sinner, I have no choice but to try and stop it with all my might. This is something that someone who has always been protected and admired would never understand.”

“Yes, yes, I don’t understand. You may leave.”

Qin Changqing could not be bothered to argue with her further.

Everyone had the right to make their own choices. He didn’t force anyone nor did he want others to interfere with his decisions.

However, when it came to Qin Lingshuang, what sort of treatment had she received in the Qin family before? This woman must have no sense at all, with her brain washed clean.

After Qin Ruobing left, MO Ziya appeared in the void.

He stood with his hands behind his back and slowly said, “The Tianti Road is open. Everyone should know that once on the road, life and death matters not. I advise you all once again: know your own limits.”

He didn’t say much, and instead took out a white token and cast it. The token shot up to the top of the mountain and spun rapidly, emitting a skyward beam of light. The overwhelming waves of energy shattered the layers of fog surrounding the mountain, revealing a heavenly ladder that stretched from the foot of the mountain to the top.

“The Tianti Road is open, Golden Elixir Cultivators under a hundred years old may enter according to their own will.”

As soon as his voice fell, a group of figures shot into the air straight away.

Qin Changqing noticed that these were mostly Loose Cultivators, eager to claim the first place in the race.

As for the members of the major sects, very few moved, especially the Two Pavilions and Four Sects—none of them budged.

“It’s just like rushing for food in the cafeteria,” Qin Changqing muttered quietly as he watched.

Loose Cultivators generally had lower cultivation levels, mostly below Tier 5 of the Golden Elixir stage. At the beginning, they had a vigorous pace, but after reaching the hundredth level, their progress slowed significantly. Some were even repelled by some force above and thrown down to the foot of the mountain.

Falling down meant losing the Tianti Road.

Taiyi Academy did not allow anyone to enter a second time.

“They can’t even pass the hundredth level? Is the Tianti Road really that terrifying?” Qin Changqing asked with astonishment.

“Not exactly,” Qingning furrowed her brow. “According to my Master, the Tianti Road doesn’t just test cultivation; it also looks at talent, aptitude,

Fortune, and other comprehensive qualities. I’m not quite sure myself, but everyone only has one chance on Tianti Road, and some people were chased off before they even understood what was happening.”

Talent? Aptitude?

Qin Changqing licked his lips.

He didn’t have any of those things.

He wondered if perhaps the system counted as potential—if it did, then he should be able to soar..
