“If I can be with her, so what if Green Fire World, even the Eternal Chaotic World turns against me?”
Jian Nantian’s words spread through the sky .
The observing crowd was stunned hearing him .
They could feel his courage in the words .
Jian Nantian kept going toward the Heaven-ceasing Mountain .
The Celestial Master’s face whitened .
He had tried every means but in vain . He failed to stop the determined Jian Nantian .
Finally, Jian Nantian reached the foot of the mountain .
A Restriction was set around the mountain foot, which was impossible for any ordinary Celestial Master to went through .
Jian Nantian crossed through easily .
Jian Nantian twisted his one hand, casually as ever .
An ethereal sword light was shot and landed on the Restriction, which was torn apart just in moments .
Behind the Restriction, the entire mountain revealed itself to Jin Nantian .
“Well?”
Jian Nantian raised his head . He stared at the ancient black tower in the distance .
“That’s… Soul-crushing Pagoda?” Gu King recognized it .
“What is that?” A doubt escaped Jian Wushuang .
“The Soul-crushing Pagoda contains 18 trials that test a person’s soul . And it gets harder with the increase of the level .
“Soul-crushing Pagoda is not something extraordinary in the Eternal Chaotic World . But in Green Fire World, it’s rather challenging, and your mother must have been prisoned in it . Your father has to pass 18 tests, I wonder if he can make it . ”
“Test a person’s soul?” Jian Wushuang vaguely smiled .
If they were tests in other things, Jian Wushuang might worry . However, when it came to the soul…
Since living in the Ancient World, his father had been known for bearing a strong mental attitude . Now, he must have had a much stronger heart .
Despite the difficulty, Jian Wushuang believed that his father would succeed .
Before the mountain, Jian Nantian paused for a while, and then, he stepped into Soul-crushing Pagoda .
The crowd all stared at Soul-crushing Pagoda to sense Jian Nantian’s aura .
At present time, Jian Nantian had stepped into Level One .
A few moments later, he reached Level Two .
“He’s crossed through Level One . ” Fists clenched, Jian Wushuang looked delighted .
“Not so soon . It gets hard with the increase of the level . Level One is easy, any Celestial Master can cross it . And from Level Two to Level Ten test, one can easily pass them as well . But the 11th Level is really hard . ” Gu King continued .
As Gu King had expected, Jian Nantian spent little time in the first nine Levels . He passed them effortlessly .
Even in Level Ten, he did not linger and kept his usual pace .
However, when he entered 11th Level, he slowed down .
He had spent several minutes before he crossed through 11th Level .
And he stopped at Level 12 for one quarter .
When he finally made it to 18th Level, the early half of the day had passed .
“The 18th Level is the hardest . Even in the Eternal Chaotic World, one out of 100 Celestial Masters in Exceptional Realm may fail the test . ” Gu King sounded solemn .
Jian Wushuang looked grave as well .
Those experts all waited in silence .
Three days, Jian Nantian stayed at 18th Level for three days . Then, the crowd sensed his aura had moved from 18th Level to the highest level, 19th Level .
“He’s passed!”
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang clasped his hands .
“He actually spent only three days?” Gu King was impressed . “Even well-prepared, a Celestial Master in Exceptional Realm will usually spend half a month or even more . Your father actually spent three days only . He really bears a strong mental attitude .
“I’ve told you . My father’s mental attitude is strong . ” Jian Wushuang laughed .
As expected, his mother had been imprisoned at 19th Level in Soul-crushing Pagoda . Since Jian Nantian had stepped into that level, it meant they had met .
In the empty space at 19th Level of Soul-crushing Pagoda, a chained blue-robed woman sat on a stone-built bed .
She looked haggard and worried .
She knew it was the day Jian Nantian and Jian Wushuang went to challenge the Ancient Monster Clan, but she could not know the result, being imprisoned in this Soul-crushing Pagoda .
“Nantian, Shuang’er…”
“You must survive, you have to survive . ”
She could only pray in her heart .
At that time, she heard heavy footsteps .
“What?” The blue-robed woman suddenly raised her head .
She had been captured here for more than 2,000 years . Never had she seen another human being during the long years . Even when her master Celestial Master Ku Xin talked to her, she could only hear his voices . She was really surprised when she heard the footsteps .
That person actually entered the highest level in Soul-crushing Pagoda .
She stared at the entrance .
Hearing the footsteps approaching for a while, finally, she saw a figure in black appeared .
She was stunned, seeing the figure .
For more than 2,000 years, though she was cut off from the world, she still thought of the figure dressed in black time and time again .
After all these years, she missed it even more .
She thought that, in the rest of her life, she would never see him again . However, he appeared in front of her again .
“Am I dreaming?” The blue-robed woman murmured in disbelief .
Seeing the woman, Jian Nantian’s indifference was gone . He was trembling .
He looked at the blue-robed woman, eyes tranquil like a sea . His heart was almost melting .
In the empty space at 19th Level of Soul-crushing Pagoda, they looked at each other .
After a long while, Jian Nantian finally scratched his head, laughed like a kid, and said, “Meng’er, we’re going home!”
