Chapter 60: Changing Fate (Part Two)
Looking across the entire altar, only ruins remained.
Only one last statue stood proudly.
The other Eight Statues had all been defeated by Qin Tian.
During the process of defeating them, Qin Tian's Combat Power surged several times over.
He was no longer the same as before.
Qin Tian approached the Tenth Sculpture.
"Is this the final battle?"
It was so close that he could even feel the heavy Killing Intent emanating from the Tenth Sculpture.
He wondered how many lives this statue had slaughtered, as the Killing Intent within it was so intense that it made his breathing quicken involuntarily.
"Congratulations on entering the Nine Dragons Hall, for your final test."
As it spoke, the statue slowly began to open its mouth.
The overwhelming Killing Intent rushed toward him.
Even Qin Tian, faced with such a dense Killing Intent, felt his complexion pale slightly.
“Final Trial officially begins.”
As the voice of the last sculpture faded away, a tremendous Killing Intent swept across the Dark Altar, where the dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy wildly converged.
Suddenly, the surroundings transformed once more.
The gray world shifted into an endless Vast Ocean.
Beneath Qin Tian, the dark altar transformed into a small Canoe.
On the boundless Vast Ocean, the Canoe slowly drifted.
Roar!
The waves crashed against the boat, and the tiny Canoe struggled to maintain its balance.
It seemed like it could be capsized by the raging waves at any moment.
Even Qin Tian felt that the sinking of this boat was merely a matter of time.
“Cultivation is like a Canoe crossing the sea.”
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the bow of the Canoe.
Standing alone in defiance of the world.
No matter how fierce the hurricane, it could not lift his garments.
Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.
It was the first time he had heard such a description of cultivation.
However, even though it was his first time hearing it, he found it quite reasonable.
"The ship is Flesh, and the people on the ship are the souls. This vast Vast Ocean represents the various hardships on the path of cultivation. Do you understand?"
The solitary figure turned around, their gaze sharp as a blade, looking directly at Qin Tian.
Tenth Statue!
Upon seeing this statue, Qin Tian smiled lightly and slowly spoke.
"The soul is primary, Flesh is secondary. As long as the soul remains, if the ship cannot continue, we will find another."
Yet, there was a hint of something unusual in Qin Tian's smile.
"You don't believe me."
The figure on the Bow spoke frankly.
"On the path of cultivation, you cannot blindly trust anyone for any reason. Because this road offers no second chances."
Qin Tian slowly walked to the Bow.
Standing side by side with him.
"Is this challenge meant to make me Canoe across the sea?"
Qin Tian laughed freely.
"Yes."
The solitary figure nodded slowly.
Indeed, it was as per usual—disturbingly so.
Qin Tian clenched his fists, his eyes revealing not a trace of fear or regret.
He was a madman who would engage in a life-and-death duel with an opponent who could mercilessly torment him for an entire day, all in the pursuit of enhancing his Combat Power.
He was a cultivator who, in order to achieve his goals, fearlessly faced dangers and pressed forward without hesitation.
As for the turmoil ahead, whether it was real or not could be set aside for now.
Given his character, he would undoubtedly give it his all, no matter what.
Here, one's consciousness could leave the body.
The Martial God Senior could connect with him.
He had no reason to be afraid.
"For a thousand years, you are the Tenth Person to arrive here. I hope you do not end up like the previous nine, buried in this place."
Bow, the Tenth Sculpture, spoke slowly.
It seemed that to him, these words were nothing out of the ordinary.
However, Qin Tian's heart suddenly trembled.
The Tenth Person
So, the Nine Dragons Hall was not the only one to reach the final challenge?
But why does no one know about it?
Could it be that the Xuan Yang Sword Sect is hiding some secret?
Not to mention the first eight challenges, just the nine sculptures before the final challenge are enough to instill despair.
If it weren't for Qin Tian's deep cunning,
anyone else would have long given up after being relentlessly tormented for over ten hours.
Because even Qin Tian, at that time, had no idea if he could turn the tables after enduring such torment for so long.
Many people fight with all their might only when they see hope.
Qin Tian, however, fought with all his might solely to see hope.
Others believed that Qin Tian never engaged in a battle without preparation based on his performance.
But who would know how much sweat he poured into achieving such astonishing results?
During those three years when he first entered the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
He had woken up countless times in the morning and gone to sleep in the early hours of the day.
A devilish kind of training.
All for the sake of stepping into the Threefold Realm of Meridian Opening, so that he would not be abandoned by the Sect.
At that time, not to mention him, even his only friend, Shen Tianming, had lost faith in him.
He only refrained from expressing it to avoid hurting Qin Tian.
Just imagine, who would believe that a person who had worked tirelessly for three years without any progress could have a future?
"Once you are buried here as well, within half a year, your fellow brothers and even the elders outside will forget this memory. Because here, only those who succeed can leave their names."
The figure of Bow slowly spoke.
Qin Tian furrowed his brows slightly, somewhat surprised.
"I am The Tenth Person. This means there have been nine challengers before me who have been buried here. And aside from you, there are nine sculptures on the Dark Altar. Each sculpture excels in swordsmanship."
Qin Tian began to speak slowly.
Finally, he found a clue about the Ninth Hall.
"This means that each of those nine individuals is my senior brother. In their respective eras, they were unmatched among their peers, and ultimately, like me, they arrived at the Ninth Hall. Unfortunately, they all ended up buried here.
They ultimately transformed into sculptures on the Ninth Hall's Dark Altar, serving as challenges for future generations. So if I were to be buried here as well, I would replace you and become the Tenth Sculpture. And you... would become the Eleventh Sculpture?"
One must say, Qin Tian was quite insightful.
Nothing escapes his eyes.
"I have to applaud your wisdom. You guessed correctly; it is indeed so. However, compared to them, I have more faith in you. This trial is both easier and harder. Since I value you highly, let me give you a hint."
The Tenth Sculpture looked seriously at Qin Tian.
He held Qin Tian in high regard.
"Change your fate."
After saying this, he carefully examined Qin Tian from head to toe. Finally, he took a step forward and swiftly vanished into the Bow.
Only Qin Tian was left behind.
"Change my fate?"
Qin Tian pondered over those two words.
In the end, he nodded and bowed respectfully in the direction where the Tenth Sculpture had been.
Then, he sat down in the center of the Canoe.
He paid no attention to the surrounding terrifying waves that threatened to engulf the Canoe within moments.
He began his training.
Qin Tian had no idea what would happen next.
However, through what the Tenth Sculpture had just said, he found a clue.
Since the ocean here and the monstrous waves represented various tribulations and thorns on the path of cultivation.
Then, do not let the boat be capsized.
There is only one way.
Become strong!
Only by becoming strong can the Canoe transform into a mighty warship, cutting through waves and sailing freely.
As Qin Tian's cultivation continued to rise within him.
The one hundred third Meridian.
The one hundred fourth Meridian.
The one hundred fifth Meridian.
One after another, they were opened.
Previously, Qin Tian had been suppressed for over ten hours. While his combat power and swordsmanship rapidly improved, the foundation he possessed had also reached an astonishing level.
With just a casual guidance, three Meridians were opened simultaneously.
Only three more to go, and he would have one hundred eight Meridians.
Once he opened all one hundred eight Meridians,
Qin Tian's combat power would step into another realm altogether.
Though both belong to the Nine Heavens, the difference between one hundred eight Meridians and one hundred five Meridians is like heaven and earth.
Harmony of the Universe.
Stepping into the Channeling Realm, Nine Heavens was complete.
He had opened all one hundred and eight Meridians.
With all the Meridians in his body unblocked, he began to rotate the Harmony of the Universe and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
At this stage, a cultivator would be worlds apart from other powerful beings in the Channeling Realm.
Such a terrifying existence could only be achieved by those with exceptional talent and abundant resources among the various Sects.
As Qin Tian continuously opened his Meridians, this single Canoe underwent astonishing changes.
When Qin Tian opened his eyes, he was astonished to find that the once humble Canoe had transformed into a simple yet sturdy passenger ship.
Had he really only opened three Meridians? The difference was staggering!
Even Qin Tian felt a sense of bewilderment.
"Kid, don't falter here."
In his right eye, the Martial God Senior, who had been unable to connect with Qin Tian, spoke with a hint of bitterness.
"Mm."
Qin Tian nodded. His journey lay in the vast skies beyond.
Determined, he could not falter here.
After being unable to draw more spiritual energy, Qin Tian rose and stood at the top of the passenger ship.
Facing the boundless Vast Ocean and the piercing morning sun, he desperately waved his fists.
Just like back then, when he had nothing, he stood at Outer Gate Mountain Region throwing punches.
With the emergence of his Double Pupil, his cultivation progressed even faster.
Moreover, after silently practicing a few moves, he suddenly realized that training here seemed to be much quicker than outside.
He was filled with excitement.
Starlight Sword Technique.
Dragon Fist.
Adamantine Body Technique.
Yin Sha Nine Demon Sword.
One by one, the techniques were unleashed from his fists and beneath his sword.
With the enhancement of Double Pupil, his speed had become quite monstrous.
At this moment, combined with the unique conditions of this place.
The speed of progress was simply extraordinary.
Many techniques borrowed from the second floor of the Meridian Pavilion had left him with no time to practice.
At this moment, he brought them out, striving to reach a higher level in a short time.
As his skills in both fist and sword grew increasingly refined, the humble passenger ship transformed into a luxurious vessel.
The advancement was remarkably swift.
Against the backdrop of the illusory dawn in the sky, this luxurious ship, carrying only Qin Tian, cut through the waves of the Vast Ocean with great speed.
Half a month later.
The passenger ship had morphed into a fearsome Golden Warship.
Rows of Red Robe Cannons stood proudly, exuding an intimidating presence.
For cultivators like Qin Tian, these Red Robe Cannons, which possessed the power to devastate the world for ordinary people, were hardly worth mentioning.
Yet here, they commanded an extraordinary aura.
No longer did they face the earlier predicament where even a slight storm could threaten to capsize the entire ship.
After half a month of sailing, Qin Tian stood at the bow and could finally see a vast continent on the horizon.
The trial was finally coming to an end!
But at that moment.
The sun, hanging in the Sky and seemingly never to fall, suddenly transformed into a face of extraordinary valor.
Immediately after, the world spun, and tumultuous waves surged.
The Golden Warship, already unafraid of the storm, was violently rocked by this sudden onslaught, as if it could capsize at any moment.
Even Qin Tian looked up in astonishment at the extraordinary face in the void.
What exactly was happening?
"The tenth named disciple does not meet the requirements. Trial... failed."
