Li Shuang endured for one day.
Then she endured for another day.
Under everyone's gaze, she actually made it to the final day.
Before.
Some mocked.
Some spread rumors.
Some openly questioned.
But as she persevered day after day, as she got closer and closer to clearing the trial, these voices slowly disappeared.
In all places, only one question remained.
Li...
Can she clear it?
Can she become the second person in history to clear the seventh floor?
Yujin also joined the excitement, opening another betting pool.
The bet was whether Li Shuang could clear all the trials!
When the betting closed, those who bet against Li Shuang's success still made up the vast majority.
"The Five Elements Tribulation gets harder the further you go. Li is already at the end of her tether. I'm afraid she won't last through this final stretch."
"Indeed, ten points are still points, it's better to be safe."
"Above the sixth floor, there's still the seventh floor. This bet is on clearing all of them. No one knows what the seventh floor is like, but it's probably harder than the sixth."
"Exactly! Brother Dao's analysis is spot on!"
Listening to these discussions, Yan Fan felt no pressure.
He decisively bet on Li.
No matter what, his previous bet on Li had earned him a large sum, and for that alone, he would continue to bet on her.
It was only ten points.
He considered it a thank you to Li.
Yan Fan watched the water screen with some curiosity.
He had recorded Li's entire trial process with a spirit stone.
When she reached the later stages of the trial, he completely failed to understand the methods she was using.
Perhaps when his cultivation improved, he might slowly begin to understand some of it.
Li has an ice spirit root, so her experience should be more relevant to Li Shuang. Having gained so many points this time, he was clearly about to take off completely.
If there were no opponents at all on the Southern Azure Continent, it would be a bit too lonely.
Yan Fan decided to give a recording stone to Li Shuang as well.
He wouldn't dare show this to other disciples of the Cangyuan Sect, not out of fear of anything else, but out of fear that their Dao hearts would shatter after seeing it.
Before coming to Myriad Law City.
He hadn't expected.
That even between geniuses, there could be such a vast difference.
But as for Li Shuang, Yan Fan wasn't worried.
Although her cultivation was a bit lower, her Dao heart was incredibly firm. Li's image would only inspire her to work harder.
From this perspective, he highly regarded Li Shuang as an opponent.
In the void.
"This girl is truly extraordinary," Xing Tiangang stroked his chin.
Although he had also cleared the sixth floor, he was nearly a hundred years old at the time, far from as young as Li.
"Even if she doesn't succeed this time. In seven years, she will definitely succeed," Ye Hongyao chuckled. "Our human race is about to have a key seed to cultivate."
"City Lord Yu, where is this disciple of yours now? Such a genius seed must be protected at all costs," Wuxiang stroked his beard and exhorted.
The human race does not lack geniuses.
However.
It lacks peerless geniuses.
This Li before them possessed the potential of a peerless talent, with hope of achieving ultimate power in the future!
Yujin's expression immediately became peculiar.
Where was Li now...
She was on the Southern Azure Continent...
Only on the Central Continent were there terminal arrays for cross-continental teleportation talismans.
The destination of a cross-continental teleportation talisman was always the Central Continent.
It would be very convenient for Li to come to the Central Continent; one teleportation talisman would suffice.
But if she wanted to go to the Southern Azure Continent, she would have to fly across the endless sea, going in person.
That would take at least one or two months on the road.
The most troubling thing was.
Her true body was still in the Land of Absolute Despair, unable to leave at all.
Before.
Li was unwilling to come to the Central Continent, and Yujin hadn't felt much about it.
But now.
She couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Are young people nowadays all so stubborn?
If such a peerless genius were to encounter trouble on a remote continent, it would truly be a loss for the entire human race.
"Why does the City Lord look like this? Could it be that Li's location is rather special?" Wuxiang asked curiously.
A hint of guilt flashed in Yujin's eyes, and she lightly coughed, "Li's whereabouts, I'll tell you in detail after I've taught the people you sent."
Not afraid of anything else.
Yujin was mainly afraid that if they knew Li was on the Southern Azure Continent, they would take back all the generous gifts they had previously sent.
After all...
This would directly expose the fact that she had never taught Li.
The others looked at Yujin with strange expressions.
Yujin quickly said, "Look! The final tribulation is here!"
The others all looked back at the water screen.
The final tribulation.
It would randomly select one of the Five Elements Tribulations to descend.
And.
The power of this tribulation would be even greater than before!
"When I cleared the trial last time, the attribute of the final tribulation happened to be countered by my spirit root attribute, which is why I barely managed to clear it," Xing Tiangang couldn't help but sigh, "Luck is also very important on the path of cultivation."
"Next, let's see how Li's luck is."
On the Divine Soul Golden Altar.
Li Shuang looked up at the sky, her heart slightly chilled.
At this moment.
She could already clearly feel the difference.
The Five Elements Tribulations that were just manifesting had completely disappeared at this moment.
And in the air.
A huge vortex had appeared.
What would emerge from the vortex!
It was still unknown!
Li Shuang tried to stand straight, her fingertips turning pale from gripping the sword hilt too tightly.
At this moment.
She felt as if all her senses had been stripped away, with only the thunderous drumming of her own heart in her ears.
Is this the final step?
She had pushed herself to the limit.
Her spiritual power in her meridians was almost depleted.
If it weren't for the Grand Forgetfulness Art desperately circulating, giving her a trace more spiritual power, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand right now.
The vortex spun faster and faster, emitting a terrifying pressure.
Before the final tribulation had even officially descended, fine beads of sweat had already seeped from Li Shuang's forehead.
The next moment.
Without any struggle, the vortex suddenly dispersed.
A sky full of sword rain poured down from above!
In the void.
A sigh sounded.
"It's an advanced version of the Metal Tribulation. This Li's luck isn't too good," Xing Tiangang seemed a little regretful.
For Li Shuang, a water or fire attribute might have made clearing the trial easier.
"Let's see," Yujin looked at the water screen, a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Under the sky full of sword rain.
Li Shuang used her last spiritual power to condense an ice shield, struggling to hold on.
But.
She was indeed almost at her limit.
Cracks soon appeared in the condensed ice shield. If this continued.
She was bound to lose.
She had come this far, but still couldn't succeed?
A deep sense of unwillingness flashed in Li Shuang's eyes. Never mind, she had already done her best.
Then, she would come again next time.
Knowing that there was no hope of clearing the trial, Li Shuang's heart completely relaxed instead.
Suddenly.
She looked up at the sky.
At this moment.
It was the juncture of night and day.
In a trance.
She saw the sun star slowly rising.
Li Shuang felt a little dazed.
At this moment.
She always felt she had seen this before.
She had once watched the sunrise at the Sword Sect alone.
She had also watched Elder Ling, stitch by stitch, embroider the sun that ignites the plains.
Now.
She saw this round sun again.
Previously.
She had always looked forward to the night.
Only at night could her source star, the Taiyin star, exert its greatest effect.
The sun star clearly rose every day, but she only hoped for it to fall quickly.
But at this moment.
Knowing that there was no hope of clearing the trial, she had the inclination to appreciate it properly.
