Chapter 185 Kunlun Test

From Kunlun Mountain, looking in all directions, one could still faintly see the cities of the human world and those towering buildings.

But at this moment, the wind and snow rose sharply, becoming more and more violent, gradually blurring even the vague shadows of the city. Coupled with the phantoms emanating from the mountain and sea rifts nearby, it gave the feeling that the human world and the Shan Hai Realm had long been fused together, as if this place was not Kunlun Mountain of the human world, but Kunlun Ruins of the Shan Hai Realm.

And in front, one could vaguely see a secluded place amidst the wind and snow.

Like starlight reflected on the water, it seemed to not belong to the human world.

A sense of pressure was spreading out from within.

Nü Jiao stood in front of Wei Yuan, so that the wind and snow could no longer fall on him. Looking at the gods in front, she sneered, "Oh? Since when could the mere Kunlun gods take the place of the Queen Mother of the West to carry out divine punishment? How come I didn't know?"

The god whose sleeves seemed to be made of wind and snow said indifferently, "The Queen Mother is not here, so we will naturally take temporary charge of the human Kunlun."

Another voice said, "Such a sinner cannot ascend Kunlun. Descend quickly."

A dark green long whip appeared in Nü Jiao's hand, and the white hair hanging behind her back fluttered slightly, as if she was about to attack on the spot, and said, "And if I don't descend, what can you do?"

The Kunlun gods and the Tushan goddess glared at each other.

The atmosphere became sharp for a moment.

Almost at the same time, the area held by Nü Jiao's Shennong whip was already lit up.

Her right wrist moved imperceptibly.

This was a tactic used when traveling in the Shan Hai Realm, seizing the initiative. Many mountain gods and fierce beasts had suffered from this move. Nü Jiao's own magic power was not considered strong, but the Shennong whip she wielded was the origin of the legend of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. One whip could inflict a deadly poison on the gods.

But her movement paused slightly.

Wei Yuan pulled her sleeve from behind.

Nü Jiao restrained her power and turned to look at Wei Yuan. The latter gently shook his head. Nü Jiao was exasperated and transmitted her voice, "What time is it? Are you still considering the relationship with the Queen Mother of the West and West Kunlun?"

On the other side, the Kunlun gods didn't seem to want their relationship with Tushan to become too strained. They communicated with each other in a special way for a moment, and the god who had appeared was silent for a long time, before saying in a stiff tone:

"Although he is a sinner, there is still a glimmer of hope."

"As long as he passes our tests in advance, he can have the opportunity to participate in the competition for the human Kunlun."

"These tests are divided into three levels."

He flicked his sleeves, and the wind and snow stopped abruptly, then condensed.

First, it condensed into a large sea of flowers, with all the flowers of the human world included. However, each flower was as crystal clear as snow, vast and lush, and beautiful, "The first test is to find a flower in this sea of flowers that is different from the others and has a unique strangeness, testing the patience and eyesight of mortals. If one cannot see the extraordinary in the ordinary, one has no immortal fate."

Then, wind was used to condense a circling white crane.

The white crane danced in the sky, giving Kunlun Mountain more of a celestial landscape.

"The second test is to tame the white crane. These white cranes are creatures of wind and snow, and wind and snow are inherently heartless."

"Only those who can subdue heartless things are qualified to ascend to the third level."

Finally, there appeared layers of white jade-like ice walls, each more than a zhang high. (approximately 10 feet)

The coldness was biting, blocking the middle ground between Wei Yuan and the secluded place on the top of Kunlun Mountain. The god's voice was calm, "The third test is sincerity. In the human world, there are filial sons who lie on ice to seek carp. What you seek is immortal fate and divine fate. Use your own temperature to melt the ice wall, and you can ascend to this place, inscribe your name, and participate in the third level."

"But I must remind you that it is freezing cold here. Without any means, the speed at which the ice melts is not as fast as it freezes again. If you overestimate your abilities, be careful to lose your life here."

After saying these words, the god whose sleeves were made of wind and snow stood on Wei Yuan and Nü Jiao's side.

This was to prevent Nü Jiao from helping, but he didn't seem willing to say another word, standing sideways.

Wei Yuan coughed twice, his eyes swept over the three tests, and he silently said that this was really a celestial test with the color of Tang Dynasty legends. After thinking for a while, he said, "I want to ask a question. You have been sleeping in Kunlun Mountain all along. Before, many fierce beasts came out of the rifts here in Kunlun, wreaking havoc on the human world. Did you not care?"

There were other voices in the void answering:

"We are asleep."

"Moreover, fierce beasts and the human race are both creatures of the Shan Hai Realm. Gods do not participate in their struggles."

"Oh… neutral. Yes, after all, the Queen Mother of the West is not here. If she were here, what she would do is balance, not this so-called neutrality that is like a wooden doll."

Wei Yuan said, "Then isn't this test for me a little inappropriate?"

The god sneered and didn't answer.

Wei Yuan patiently said a second time, "You are the Kunlun gods. Since you have chosen neutrality and equality, you shouldn't be so blatant, at least?"

The wind and snow god sneered:

"We should have captured you and left you to be punished. It is already the limit to leave you with an opportunity. Are you still not satisfied?"

"We should have sent you into reincarnation directly back then."

"If you are unwilling to be tested, then descend quickly. Or, do you want to force your way through?"

His actions reminded Wei Yuan that it seemed to be this god who escorted him up the mountain back then.

Wei Yuan looked at this indifferent god, "Alright."

There was no third question.

He exhaled a breath. In the eyes of the hidden gods, this man who was obviously not long for this world and could not possibly pass the test stood up. The plaster and medical equipment on his body were shattered. He stretched out his hand. The pupils of the wind and snow mountain god contracted, but he couldn't dodge. He was grabbed by the neck by a hand and dragged on the ground as he stepped forward.

A battle axe appeared in Wei Yuan's right hand, and he dragged the mountain god with his left hand, not stopping his steps.

The sea of flowers was chopped to pieces.

The white cranes were beaten into scattered fragments. Finally, he smashed the god in his left hand against the zhang-high ice, using the latter's body to smash through the layers of ice, walking on the mountain road of Kunlun, and finally smashed the mountain god to the ground. The latter coughed up blood violently. Wei Yuan had already stepped forward and slashed down with an axe.

The wind and snow spread violently.

The mountain god's pupils contracted, recalling the man who had broken into the mountain back then.

The terror that he was frightened by the baleful aura in an instant made his limbs ice-cold, his brain and thoughts blank. It took a long time before he recovered. The blade of the battle axe in Wei Yuan's palm was slashing on the side of his cheek. The blade had a strong, lingering bloody smell.

"But I am different… I forgive you."

"This is the compassion of man for god."

Wei Yuan responded.

The entire Kunlun wind and snow had dissipated.

He stood up, holding the Xing Tian axe in his right hand, and looked ahead, politely saying:

"Have I passed?"

There was silence.

In the end, a path appeared in front of Wei Yuan, representing the answer of the Kunlun gods.

For some reason, at this time, Wei Yuan looked down upon the so-called position of the Lord of Kunlun Mountain. When his heart was up, he wanted to just leave, but in the end, he suppressed the nature in his heart, because the pain of the power erupting in his body made him cough a few times. Under Nü Jiao's gaze, he honestly sat back in the wheelchair.

Xing Tian's battle axe was low and solemn, and the baleful aura it emitted made people tremble in their hearts. Wei Yuan casually put the axe aside, then looked at one of the Kunlun gods who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and said, "Witch Nü Jiao, wait a moment. This god, come and push my wheelchair. I don't want to walk now."

The god's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth, "...I, I am a god..."

"I know, should I be more polite?"

Wei Yuan rubbed his forehead and said:

"This god, please push my wheelchair, because I don't want to walk now."

"Thank you."

"You…"

The god gritted his teeth, but in the end, he had no choice but to push the wheelchair.

His neck was still stinging, the axe blade had not fallen, but it seemed to have already fallen.

Leaving a crack in his heart that could never be healed.

In an instant, it seemed to pull him back to the distant past, making his palms still tremble slightly.

A thought was churning in his heart.

Wei Yuan looked at the empty place in front of him. That should be where the Queen Mother of the West left the questions, assessing whether later generations were qualified to succeed the human Kunlun, and there was also the Kunlun gods' divinity. When Wei Yuan entered it, Nü Jiao stood on Kunlun Mountain. The remaining Kunlun divinity appeared around her, transforming into men and women wearing white robes.

"The participant's name must be written."

One of the old men held a jade disc and a carving knife, explaining.

"I just forgot."

Nü Jiao did not expose the fact that no gods dared to stop Wei Yuan just now. She just looked at the jade disc. There were names one by one in front, and then they were crossed out one by one. These were all the people who had tried to challenge the problem left by the Queen Mother of the West, even gods. But obviously, they had all failed, and their names were crossed out.

There are Kunlun Mountains in all the realms.

There are also corresponding mountain gods and gods left behind.

Each has a corresponding jade disc.

The creatures participating in the assessment can leave their names. After failure, their names will be crossed out. Once they complete the assessment and successfully take office as the Lord of Kunlun Mountain in a certain realm, then their name will appear on the Kunlun jade disc in all realms. This represents Kunlun's recognition.

"If he's not here, then we'll write it for him."

After Nü Jiao nodded, one of the gods who had a good relationship with Tushan took out a carving knife and wrote according to the process.

"Mortal, Human, Wei Yuan."

Mortal represents that he is not a god, and human represents his race.

This god has recorded countless names since ancient times. His brushstrokes are very good. If he were in the human world, he would be a famous craftsman enough to be passed down through the ages. Countless people would be willing to spend a lot of money for a seal.

But in the end, this name slowly disappeared, and no trace was left on the jade disc.

This represents that the jade disc does not recognize that this person is qualified to challenge.

There was a silence.

Immediately, the gods were in an uproar.

They looked at each other and whispered, and for a while, the sound of the wind and snow was covered.

The stonemason god holding the carving knife was even more at a loss.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Nü Jiao frowned, snatched the carving knife, and strode over, her aura as blazing as fire, which made the gods unable to say anything for a while. They all watched what this Tushan goddess was going to do. Could it be that she could engrave the name on the second time? But this goddess still held the carving knife and waved it, leaving the name again.

This time it didn't disappear.

The gods subconsciously looked over and suddenly held their breath.

The wind and snow suddenly became heavy, unable to suppress the shock brought by that line of words.

Human Race · God of War, Yuan.

Kunlun, acknowledged.
