CHAPTER 709: CHAPTER 707: KID, YOU DARE IGNORE ME! (4TH UPDATE)

"Without trying, how would you know?" Lin Fan said with a smile.

"You..."

Qin Muqing was somewhat angry. She had sincerely tried to persuade Lin Fan, but he remained stubborn, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.

"Fine! Since that’s the case, I will take you to Cloud Flowing Sect. However, if you can’t pass the mountain gate test, you have two options. The first is to leave the Cloud Flowing Sect. I suspect Chen Jian would forge ahead with his pursuit to kill you. After all, Chen Jian is very petty and bears grudges. You just offended him, so death is almost certain!"

"The second option, if you perform well, even if you don’t pass the entrance test to the mountain, you can remain in the Cloud Flowing Sect as a menial disciple. However, let me remind you, menial disciples have no rights in the Cloud Flowing Sect. Even if Chen Jian kills you, the sect rules will not punish him!"

After Qin Muqing finished speaking in one breath.

She couldn’t help but give one more reminder: "Are you sure you don’t want to leave now?"

This woman, at heart, is very kind.

"No, let me give it a try." Lin Fan continued with a smile.

"Alright!"

Seeing this, Qin Muqing said no more and directly soared into the sky, flying towards the Cloud Flowing Sect.

To accommodate Lin Fan, Qin Muqing deliberately slowed down.

If she used her full power as a Second Rank Holy Emperor, she feared Lin Fan wouldn’t be able to keep up!

No sooner had Lin Fan and Qin Muqing left.

At a distance of five hundred meters from them, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and Chen Jian stepped out from the void, his face alternating between shades of gloom and anger.

"This brat, he didn’t leave? He’s really heading to the Cloud Flowing Sect, huh! Heh heh!" Chen Jian shook his head, amused.

The next second.

His face darkened!

"Since you’re courting death, you can’t blame me!"

...

An hour later.

Qin Muqing, leading Lin Fan, arrived at the mountain gate of the Cloud Flowing Sect.

Looking up, more than a dozen towering peaks stretched into the clouds, majestic and grand.

At the entrance of this mountain range, a huge mountain gate stood tall, with the three ancient seal characters ’Cloud Flowing Sect’ inscribed on it.

"Lin Fan, the first challenge of the entrance test is right here at the mountain gate of the Cloud Flowing Sect!" Qin Muqing pointed to the towering gate, "This gate was personally established by the first ancestor of the Cloud Flowing Sect. As long as you can pass through this gate unscathed, it means that you have passed the first challenge, and only then will the second challenge open for you!"

"This gate doesn’t look any different, why not just walk through it?" Lin Fan wondered.

Suddenly.

Chen Jian and Zhou Wen approached from a distance.

They looked at Lin Fan with a mocking face!

"Wow, I didn’t expect you to really come!" Zhou Wen said with a snide laugh: "Boy, this gate might look ordinary, but you’ll realize its true nature once you get close to it! I’m just afraid that when you approach the gate, you’ll be pressed so hard you’ll kneel!"

Lin Fan frowned!

Qin Muqing explained: "It’s like this, this mountain gate is very special; it contains an Array within. Once activated, a great pressure will roll toward the person taking the entrance test. The closer you get to the gate, the greater the pressure will become!"

"Every year, there are people who want to force their way through the gate despite lacking strength, only to end up with their meridians shattered, becoming a cripple!"

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.

Is the first challenge really this tough?

However.

He was not afraid!

The crushing force of power?

What Lin Fan fears the least is the crushing force of power!

If the Dragon Bone within his body fully erupted, Lin Fan could instantly unleash the power of the Five Cosmos, that is, fifty billion jins!

Could it be that this gate can exert a force of fifty billion jins?

"What’s the matter? Scared?"

Zhou Wen saw Lin Fan silent and couldn’t help but ridicule him.

Lin Fan couldn’t even bother to give Zhou Wen another glance!

With hands behind his back, he strode towards the direction of the mountain gate of the Cloud Flowing Sect.

"You! Boy, you dare to ignore me!"

Zhou Wen’s expression turned dark, extremely sullen!

When Lin Fan was about fifty yards from the mountain gate of the Cloud Flowing Sect, an old man beside an ancient tree, with his eyes slightly closed, spoke, "Here for the test?"

The elder looked very ancient.

The level of Cultivation hidden behind him was astonishing, like an abyss, impossible to discern the true extent of his Cultivation!

"Cultivation: Ninth Rank Holy Emperor!" Emperor Jade communicated through a voice transmission.

Lin Fan was taken aback in his heart!

It seems that this Cloud Flowing Sect really possesses some strength, an elder who guards the Mountain Gate is actually a Ninth Rank Holy Emperor?

"Yes, senior." Lin Fan’s tone remained neither servile nor overbearing.

"Alright, then you can begin." The elder nodded slightly without even raising an eyebrow and extended a dried-up palm, gently rubbing it against a nearby tree.

"Hum!"

The entire Mountain Gate trembled violently for a moment!

Following that.

Dragon Energy surged from the depths beneath the Cloud Flowing Sect, flowing into this Mountain Gate!

"You may begin now. As long as you pass through it, stepping beyond the Mountain Gate, you’ll be eligible to become an outer sect Disciple of the Cloud Flowing Sect. After the second trial, there’s a chance to become an Inner Sect Disciple, and upon passing the third trial, you are guaranteed to become an Inner Sect Disciple." After saying these words, the elder spoke no more, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Thank you for the guidance, senior!"

Lin Fan sincerely thanked the elder.

Then.

He walked toward the direction of the Mountain Gate!

As soon as he took the first step into the Mountain Gate, Lin Fan felt a pressure descending from the heavens, as if an inexplicable Power was bearing down on him!

"An Array?" Lin Fan immediately reacted.

However.

This force was initially very weak.

Merely around ten million pounds, Lin Fan could handle it with ease!

One step...

Two steps...

Three steps...

Lin Fan discovered that after three steps, the Power on his body had increased to thirty million pounds!

That is to say, ten million pounds per step.

From Lin Fan’s position to the Mountain Gate of the Cloud Flowing Sect, it was about fifty zhang, and one zhang is approximately 3.3 meters, so the distance was roughly 170 meters.

An average adult’s step spans half a meter!

This means that Lin Fan, walking from here to the Mountain Gate... would take about three hundred fifty steps!

With ten million pounds of force per step, three hundred fifty steps would equate to a weight of thirty-five billion pounds!

"Is it that terrifying? To recruit disciples, the Cloud Flowing Sect requires one to withstand thirty-five billion pounds of force to become an outer sect Disciple?" Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.

Although.

For him, thirty-five billion pounds of force, which is the same as the Power of thirty-five Cosmos, doesn’t count for much!

But for an average Cultivator, how could they possibly withstand thirty-five billion pounds of force?

The fourth step!

The fifth step...

The sixth step...

...

The tenth step...

The thirtieth step...

By the time he reached the thirtieth step, Lin Fan’s expression changed once again!

"Hum!"

Because Lin Fan’s body felt as though it was shackled!

Crack crack crack!

The ground beneath his feet also split apart in an instant!

"What’s going on? Emperor Jade... this... fifty billion pounds! Only at thirty steps, yet fifty billion pounds of force has already erupted?" Lin Fan was shocked.

Sweat on his forehead suddenly gushed out like springwater!

Yet.

The others watching were unaware of the terrifying pressure Lin Fan was enduring at this moment!

"Hahaha! This fool can’t even withstand a weight of a few tens of millions of pounds? Does he not know that he only needs to withstand a billion pounds of force to cross the Mountain Gate? Such a waste!", Zhou Wen kept laughing coldly, shaking her head.
