After Being Expelled from the Sect, My Beautiful Master Begged Me for Forgiveness - Chapter 62:

Chapter 62: King Golden Horn, Second Trial!

Although Chen Xuan stood tall like a divine spear, exuding an indomitable aura, in the eyes of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates, as well as the rogue cultivators of Central State, this was nothing more than him stubbornly trying to save face!

No matter how glorious a person once was, once their dantian was destroyed and their meridians shattered, they would inevitably fall from the altar!

Wanting to rebuild one’s cultivation was almost impossible!

This was an unchanging truth, crystallized from the tears of countless prodigies throughout history…

Once fallen, they would remain fallen, eventually sinking into the abyssal mire—that was the eternal outcome.

Could Chen Xuan break this cage of fate?

The only ones who had unwavering confidence in him were Du Meng, Niu Ben, and the other five.

They already knew Chen Xuan’s secret of his dantian’s recovery and his return to the path of cultivation, which made them full of expectation for him!

Time passed.

Half an hour later.

“RUMBLE…”

From the northern sky, wild winds roared, and clouds churned violently!

A colossal figure swept in with wind and clouds, accompanied by an overwhelming, terrifying, and tyrannical aura of nobility and ferocity.

“ROAR!!!”

A high, domineering dragon roar echoed, as if announcing something to the world.

“Gold-Horned Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon, it’s here!” King Aoki Dan stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

Everyone was shocked, their gazes all turning in unison.

There was endless drooling envy!

This was a flood dragon that had cultivated for thousands of years, its entire body was treasure, and its dragon pill energy was the ultimate sacred product for replenishing true essence and enhancing strength!

Immortal Mu Yun’s second trial was truly extravagant!

Such a majestic flood dragon was actually made to obediently spit out dragon pill energy to form pill cauldrons—what an unparalleled display of grandeur!

The next moment.

The raging storm quickly dissipated, and with a roar, a massive blue flood dragon, hundreds of meters long, appeared.

It soared across the sky like a winding river, as thick as a water tank, its golden vertical pupils flashing with ferocity and dominance!

Amid the rolling clouds, it looked like a true Azure Dragon descending to the world.

Its golden horn shone brilliantly!

Its silver-white dragon claws looked capable of crushing everything…

Its gaping mouth seemed able to devour heaven and earth!

Most eye-catching of all were the two faint bulges on its belly, signaling that it was not far from transforming into a true dragon…

Its bloodline was already extraordinary and unique. Once it successfully transcended the tribulation to become a dragon, it would immediately become an Immortal Dragon, ascending directly to the Immortal Realm.

“Hiss…”

Everyone who witnessed the Gold-Horned Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon gasped.

What no one knew was how shocked Chen Xuan was at this moment!

His True Dragon Heart seemed to sense the flood dragon’s aura, beating rapidly!

Within his True Dragon Heart, an aura of ancient, majestic, immortal, and sacred essence spread.

This was dragon might!

It perfectly fused into Chen Xuan’s own pressure, and an earth-shattering transformation began.

This was a metamorphosis from within, like being reborn!

No outsider could detect anything unusual.

But!

The Gold-Horned Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon clearly sensed it… its massive body trembled slightly, its golden pupils flashing with a reverence stemming from the deepest part of its bloodline.

“ROAR…”

Under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, the previously arrogant and domineering Gold-Horned Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon suddenly let out a long, whimpering cry, curling up and prostrating itself?

What was going on?

Even King Aoki Dan was somewhat surprised, but soon, everyone assumed that the flood dragon was paying great respect to Immortal Mu Yun!

The next moment.

It lifted its massive dragon head slightly and spat out a sparkling blue treasure pearl the size of a basket.

The flood dragon’s inner core!!!

Even rogue cultivators aside, even Daoist Baichuan, Shangguan Yayin, and the others couldn’t hide their drooling envy!

This inner core contained over ninety percent of the flood dragon’s cultivation essence and was its greatest reliance for transcending the tribulation to become a dragon.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

The flood dragon’s inner core vibrated, and soon deep blue streams of energy gushed out, containing a noble and extraordinary aura.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let us activate the Seven Towers together to condense the flood dragon pill cauldrons!” With King Aoki Dan’s call, the seven tower masters simultaneously formed hand seals, activating the seven ancient towers.

These were lower-grade Dao artifacts, each possessing terrifying foundations. Under the control of their artifact spirits, they began absorbing the flood dragon’s pill energy…

At the same time, the Seven Towers’ origins were also slowly consumed, eventually condensing one flood dragon pill cauldron after another.

Time passed.

Everyone quietly waited.

They all looked at the shining blue flood dragon inner core, drooling with desire!

“This flood dragon is full of treasures. If I could get its inner core, I could instantly multiply your power tenfold or more!” From within Ji Wushuang, the supreme heart demon from beyond the domain spoke with desire and temptation.

“Oh?” Ji Wushuang’s eyes filled with even more greed upon hearing this!

But he knew well that now was not the time.

If he dared to snatch it, the Gold-Horned Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon could crush him into meat paste with a single claw!

“This flood dragon is truly awe-inspiring! If I could capture it as my mount… who could compete with me, Li Yinglian, for the position of leader of the righteous path? Tsk tsk…” Li Yinglian breathed heavily, fantasizing to herself.

As for Chen Xuan, his expression changed slightly, his eyes unable to hide his ecstatic joy!

He had just received a voice transmission from the Gold-Horned Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon…

“Little one, you actually carry the true blood of the dragon race? No wonder Immortal Mu Yun transmitted to me to follow you in seclusion. I will definitely become a dragon and ascend to the Immortal Realm!”

“Let’s get acquainted, I am King Golden Horn…”

It took Chen Xuan more than ten breaths to calm down completely.

Immortal Mu Yun was indeed one of the top powerhouses of the Desolate Heaven Domain!

This ‘great gift’ he had given was truly massive!

Thus, Chen Xuan quickly responded via voice transmission, “King Golden Horn, follow me, Chen Xuan, from now on. I’ll make sure you eat well and drink even better! When I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I’ll catch you a beautiful female dragon to be your wife!”

“A slender and graceful silver dragon, how about that? I heard gold and silver match well, very compatible?”

King Golden Horn was clearly excited, responding via voice transmission, “Just one silver dragon? Little Xuan, you underestimate this king! I want ten! No! Twenty…”

Chen Xuan’s mouth twitched, but he nodded without hesitation.

After all, he was just painting a big picture—it didn’t matter how big the pie was…

After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Gold-Horned Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon stopped releasing its dragon pill energy and reabsorbed its inner core.

“ROAR!” It flew toward Mu Yun Immortal Palace, smoothly entering and coiling itself atop the palace’s roof.

Its massive, lantern-sized golden pupils stared down, ready to watch the show.

“The second trial officially begins!” With King Aoki Dan’s loud announcement, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became intense.

Everyone looked enviously at the cultivators qualified to participate in the second trial.

As long as they could carry three cauldrons, they would pass and receive them as rewards!

What a stroke of fortune!

“I’ll go first!…” A burly rogue cultivator laughed and stepped forward boldly.

He was the one who barely reached the sixty-first step of the Soaring Golden Steps, named Ji Taimai, a body cultivator.

“Hi!” Ji Taimai struck a pose and waited quietly.

“BOOM!…”

A blue flood dragon pill cauldron suddenly fell, smashing onto him.

“THUMP!”

“AAAH!…” Ji Taimai’s knees buckled instantly, unable to withstand the terrifying ten-thousand-jin weight, screaming as he knelt on the ground.

The next moment, he felt the ferocious, tyrannical flood dragon pressure…

“ARGH!” Ji Taimai screamed, vomiting blood, flattened like a toad.

“I surrender!!!” He shouted, and King Aoki Dan casually removed the cauldron.

Then, the next person stepped forward.

Time passed…

Only one flood dragon pill cauldron, yet over twenty people had already failed.

Even a true disciple of the Earth Dao Sect succeeded in lifting the first cauldron but failed when trying to carry the second one!

One after another… all failed!

Finally, when Ouyang Zangfeng, the true disciple of the Taixu Sword Sect, stepped forward, he became the first to succeed.

He carried three cauldrons successfully, wisely declaring it was enough, and happily stored them in his storage ring.

The cumulative weight of the pill cauldrons was manageable, but the stacking flood dragon pressure… was truly terrifying!

That was why so many people kept failing!

An hour later.

It was Du Meng and the others’ turn.

Only Niu Ben managed to carry three cauldrons successfully, while the remaining five all failed, only able to carry two cauldrons.

Thus, only Chen Xuan remained untested in the second trial.

There were seventeen people who had passed so far, with the best being Wuteng Shan from the Golden Peak Sect, who managed to carry four flood dragon pill cauldrons.

“Finally, it’s my turn?” Chen Xuan rubbed his hands, grinning excitedly!

At this moment.

All eyes turned to Chen Xuan, eager to see what would happen!
