Chapter 640: 723 Inside the Profound Spirit Mirror
Chen Mo also attracted quite a bit of attention.
It wasn’t his age.
But the fact that he was surrounded by beauties, each one transcendent, especially the pair of twins beside him, any man would envy him.
Even Song Jun’s gaze lingered on the two women for quite a while.
Wang Chen handed the jade scroll to Chen Mo.
After everyone who was being tested had their bone age measured.
Wang Chen nodded at Qing Ye.
Qing Ye turned to face the mountain gate, clasped his hands in a seal, muttering incantations, and the next moment, the whole plaza shook. A ripple spread through the void in front of Qing Ye, and then a channel about a yard wide appeared before everyone.
An ancient, primitive aura slowly wafted from within the channel.
"Through this channel, you can enter the Profound Spirit Mirror. Of course, this channel only allows those in the Foundation Establishment Realm to pass through. If you haven’t reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, you’ll be rejected. Everyone, please..."
Wang Chen spoke earnestly, as if speaking on Qing Ye’s behalf.
"Take care, young master."
"Miss, you can do it."
In the plaza, there were also many people like Jin Wu who came to see them off, cheering and encouraging their "masters" and friends.
"First Miss, Second Miss, you must succeed." Jin Wu said.
Wang Wen and Wuhua felt the same.
Although Nangong Xue wasn’t confident in herself, she nodded at this moment as well.
Boom!
The farewell ceremony concluded, and all those who came for the assessment shot out directly, transforming into streaks of light, rushing into the channel.
Some whose realms had not reached the Foundation Establishment were forcefully ejected by a power within the channel, spitting blood upon landing.
Their jade scrolls were reclaimed by Wang Chen.
"You haven’t even reached Foundation Establishment. Even if you went in, you wouldn’t pass the assessment. You might even lose your life for nothing." Wang Chen gave the person a cold glance.
The fate of this person discouraged many who had hoped to sneak through the bone gate.
Indeed, though the Shenxiao Sect is not as prestigious as the Ten Great Immortal Sects, it is still a top-tier power. How could they be so easily fooled?
"Let’s move as well. In the Profound Spirit Mirror, no one knows what will happen. Be cautious, everyone." Chen Mo said to the women.
Whoosh!
The next moment, they all shot forth in sequence, entering the channel.
An intense light assaulted them, making it hard for Chen Mo to open his eyes.
When the light faded, what appeared before Chen Mo was an ancient and boundless world. Towering ancient trees stood tall, and in the distance, a massive mountain reached up to the clouds. The entire world was filled with an ancient and powerful aura.
But Chen Mo was not focused on this.
He was concerned that Qianyi, Xiao Jiu, and Ruoqing were not by his side.
"I was holding their hands when we entered." Chen Mo frowned: "Damn it, I must find them, or with their skills, they might not make it to the summit."
Chen Mo plunged into the mountain forest.
At the same time, Xiao Jiu’s voice sounded in his mind: "Master, where are you? Are you alright?"
"I’m... I can’t say where exactly I am right now. How about you, have you seen Qianyi and Ruoqing?" Chen Mo responded.
"No. It’s just me here, and there’s a lake beside me." Xiao Jiu said.
"Xiao Jiu, do me a favor. Go find Qianyi and Ruoqing. Let me know as soon as you find them." Chen Mo was not worried about Xiao Jiu’s strength at all.
If they both searched together, the speed would be faster.
"Okay."
...
Meanwhile.
Outside in the plaza.
The scenes inside the Profound Spirit Mirror were projected into the void above the plaza by Qing Ye using divine techniques.
The ancient and vast scenes inside caused exclamations from the people outside.
However, most of them were worried.
Because they found that the people inside were teleported to different locations, obviously a measure by the Shenxiao Sect to prevent them from grouping up tightly inside.
"This batch of assessors is quite good. It’s almost been a quarter of an hour, and none have been eliminated yet." Wang Chen laughed.
"Not for long, senior brother, look." Another Shenxiao Sect disciple pointed to a corner in the projected scene.
"A Green Wood Ape, a Late Stage Foundation Establishment demon beast, there’s a good show to watch." The corner of Wang Chen’s mouth slightly curled up.
But soon, to everyone’s surprise, a scene occurred.
The Green Wood Ape at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment was killed in one strike.
"Wow, so strong, a single strike to kill a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Green Wood Ape."
"He seems to be called... Chen Mo, right?"
"It’s indeed Chen Mo."
"I didn’t expect him to be this strong, no wonder he’s surrounded by beauties."
...
"Interesting." Wang Chen became more serious.
"Chen Mo is surprisingly this strong." Jin Wu, Wang Wen, and Wuhua widened their eyes. Although they were at Foundation Establishment Perfection themselves, they couldn’t achieve a one-strike kill of a Late Stage Foundation Establishment demon beast.
...
After using Sword One to kill the Green Wood Ape, the number on the jade scroll Chen Mo carried increased to 4.
Chen Mo did not clean up the dead Green Wood Ape, because he still needed to find Qianyi and the others.
His gaze swept in other directions, and in those directions, Chen Mo saw a few figures moving at an incredible speed, advancing towards the towering mountain that pierced the clouds.
Chen Mo glanced up at the giant mountain shrouded in mist. This should be the Profound Spirit Mountain that Wang Chen mentioned. As long as they reach the summit, they’ll have completed the assessment.
"I need to speed up, the spots are limited." Chen Mo exhaled gently, directly performing Shifting Form and Position to begin searching faster, while simultaneously activating the Ancient Heavy Pupils.
"Isn’t that our Shenxiao Sect’s Shadowless Illusion?" Wang Chen was momentarily stunned seeing Chen Mo’s body technique. How does this kid know our Shenxiao Sect’s body technique?
"Senior brother, our Shenxiao Sect has graduates every year, maybe they taught him." the junior brother said.
The Shenxiao Sect wasn’t too restrictive on such things.
...
After slaying three Early Stage Foundation Establishment demon beasts, the points on Chen Mo’s jade scroll reached seven.
However, he still hadn’t found any trace of Qianyi and the others.
At this time, Xiao Jiu’s voice came from his mind: "Master, I found Jiang Ruoqing."
Xiao Jiu referred to both women by name directly.
"What about Qianyi?" Chen Mo asked.
"Haven’t seen her yet." Xiao Jiu replied.
"Keep looking."
After saying this, Chen Mo leapt into the air, landing directly atop the crown of a towering ancient tree, thus opening up his view significantly.
With a flicker, he soon appeared atop another tree’s crown.
He quickly scanned with his eyes.
Soon after.
He spotted two familiar figures, not Zhao Qianyi, but Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue.
A massive black beast blocked their path.
...
Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue, understanding each other’s thoughts, quickly reunited not long after separating, thanks to an internal spiritual connection.
Just as the two sisters were about to search for Chen Mo and the others, they were blocked by a black panther.
Though the black panther wasn’t as large as the Red Flame Tiger they had encountered before, it was renowned for its speed.
Now that they’ve been targeted by the black panther, the sisters had no hope of escaping from its front.
