Chapter 120 The Brave Monk
Qi Tongwei stood on the top of the mountain, gazing at the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, with an unknown excitement rising in his heart. Today, he was about to have a chance to change his fate - the Divine Dragon Test. According to legend, the Divine Dragon Test was a once-in-a-century opportunity, and only the strongest and bravest monks could pass it, gain the blessing and inheritance of the Divine Dragon, and soar into the sky to achieve supreme feats.
Qi Tongwei has been gifted since childhood and has a high talent for cultivation, but he knows that talent is not enough to take him further. He always has a dream in his heart, that is, to transcend the mortal world, become a real strong man, and look down on the world. And today is the first step to realize this dream.
"Brother Qi, are you really planning to take part in the Dragon Trial?" A clear voice came from behind.
Qi Tongwei looked back and saw a girl in white walking towards him. The girl had a beautiful face and watery eyes. She was his childhood sweetheart, Su Yue.
"Yue'er, I have made up my mind." Qi Tongwei said firmly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I can't miss it."
Su Yue frowned slightly, with worry in her expression: "The Divine Dragon Trial is extremely dangerous. Even a powerful cultivator would find it difficult to escape unscathed. Have you... have you really thought it through?"
"I've thought it through clearly." Qi Tongwei gently held Su Yue's hand, his eyes flashing with determination. "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will give it a try. Only by going through the test of life and death can we truly grow."
Su Yue sighed softly, knowing that she could not change Qi Tongwei's determination: "Then you must be careful and come back alive."
Qi Tongwei nodded and stroked Su Yue's hair gently: "Don't worry, I will."
After bidding farewell to Su Yue, Qi Tongwei set out on his way to the Divine Dragon Trial alone. Along the way, he met many monks who also came to participate in the trial, some of them were dignified, some were nervous, but without exception, they were all for the legendary Divine Dragon inheritance.
"Hey, brother, are you here to participate in the Dragon Trial as well?" A tall cultivator walked over and patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder.
Qi Tongwei nodded and replied: "Yes, my name is Qi Tongwei."
"My name is Li Tianming, nice to meet you." Li Tianming grinned, "You look so impressive, you must be a powerful cultivator, right?"
"Same here." Qi Tongwei responded with a smile, "I wonder how many people will be able to pass this Shenlong test."
"That's hard to say." Li Tianming scratched his head, "But one thing is certain, this trial will definitely not be easy."
As the two were talking, there was a sudden movement in front of them. A huge portal with golden light appeared in front of them, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.
"The Dragon Gate!" someone exclaimed, "This is the entrance to the Dragon Trial!"
Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming looked at each other, with a hint of excitement and fighting spirit in their eyes. They walked side by side towards the Dragon Gate, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness.
The moment he stepped into the Dragon Gate, Qi Tongwei felt a flash before his eyes, and the whole person was wrapped by a powerful force, and was instantly transported to a strange world. Here the sky is high, the clouds are lingering, and the surroundings are filled with rich spiritual energy, which makes people involuntarily feel a sense of physical and mental comfort.
"Welcome to the trial grounds of the Divine Dragon Trial." A loud voice came from the sky, as if it sounded from all directions at the same time.
Qi Tongwei looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge dragon hovering in the air. Its body was like a mountain, and its scales were sparkling with golden light, looking extremely majestic.
“You insignificant humans, if you want to obtain this dragon’s inheritance, you must pass my test.” The dragon’s voice sounded again, full of unquestionable majesty.
"We are ready!" Qi Tongwei responded loudly with a firm look in his eyes.
"Very good." Shenlong nodded with satisfaction. "The first level is the test of courage."
As soon as he finished speaking, a vast sea of fire suddenly appeared in front of Qi Tongwei and the other monks. The scorching flames seemed to burn everything to ashes.
"You must cross this sea of fire before you can enter the next level." Shenlong said coldly.
"Sea of fire?" Li Tianming frowned, "This is not an ordinary flame."
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and felt the heat of the flames. He knew that this was not only a test for the body, but also a test for the soul. Only by being truly fearless could one cross this sea of fire.
"Let's go!" Qi Tongwei gave the order and was the first to step into the sea of fire. He mobilized the spiritual power in his body to form a protective film to resist the high temperature around him.
In the sea of fire, the blazing flames seemed to have life, rushing towards Qi Tongwei frantically. But he did not flinch, and moved forward firmly step by step. With every step he took, he could feel the consumption of his spiritual power, but he had only one belief in his heart, that is, to move forward and never look back.
"Brother Qi, come on!" Li Tianming followed closely behind and also stepped into the sea of fire. Although he was tall, he was agile and kept dodging the flames.
"Ah!" A monk couldn't hold on and was engulfed by the flames, screaming. But Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming didn't look back, because they knew that only by holding on to the end could they win.
Finally, Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming passed through the sea of fire and came to a peaceful lake. The lake water was crystal clear and exuded a refreshing aura, which made people feel relaxed.
"You have passed the test of courage." Shenlong's voice sounded again, with a hint of appreciation, "Next is the test of wisdom."
Suddenly, golden lotus flowers appeared on the surface of the lake, and complex runes flashed on each lotus.
"You must unlock these runes to pass this level." said the dragon.
Qi Tongwei frowned and carefully observed the runes on the lotus. These runes were mysterious and full of mysteries between heaven and earth. To unlock them, one needs not only wisdom, but also a deep understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
"Let me try." Li Tianming walked forward and reached out to touch the rune on a lotus. The rune instantly lit up, turning into rays of light that merged into Li Tianming's body.
"Is this... the power of heaven and earth?" Li Tianming said in surprise.
Qi Tongwei's heart moved, as if he had realized something. He also reached out and touched the rune on a lotus flower, feeling the vast power of heaven and earth pouring into his body. Suddenly, countless inspirations flashed through his mind, as if he saw the way all things in heaven and earth work.
"So that's it." Qi Tongwei murmured in a low voice, and then began to quickly unravel the runes. He merged the spiritual power in his body with the runes, and gradually mastered the secrets of these runes.
