399: Chapter 399 Wonderland Viewing Platform
Chapter 399: Immortal Realm Observation Deck
The various sect forces and rogue cultivators were all ushered to their respective positions, awaiting the start of the trial.
Furthermore, Su Yue had also planned out a super plaza capable of accommodating over a billion people in the original Million Mountains region.
It stretched as far as the eye could see.
In the center of the plaza, a golden statue a thousand zhang tall stood erect.
This golden statue was a likeness of Lin Yu.
It represented the ultimate goal for the young talents of the Eternal Continent.
It was built here because this plaza was the gathering area for all trial participants.
Its purpose was self-evident: to stimulate the desire for all participants to become stronger.
Moreover, Piao Miao Sect had already announced the trial rules and procedures in advance.
Once the time came, participants in the plaza would be automatically teleported into a spatial secret realm.
Those who did not arrive would be considered to have forfeited.
As the gathering place for trial participants, this plaza was not only astonishing in scale.
Its supporting facilities were also fully equipped.
Accommodation areas were also built on the outskirts of the plaza, ensuring that every trial participant could be properly settled.
Not only that, the sect also took on the responsibility of providing food, from simple meals to spiritual food needed for cultivation, all of which were taken care of.
Over the past year, participants from all directions had arrived in an endless stream, yet the area still appeared very spacious.
It could be said that from the construction of the plaza to the preparation of logistics, Piao Miao Sect had poured all its efforts into this trial selection.
As long as participants stepped into the sect's territory, they would not need to worry about food and accommodation, and could fully devote themselves to preparing for the trial.
The sect would never let anyone miss this opportunity due to external factors.
At this moment, the plaza was already teeming with people.
The trial was in three days.
Almost all the young men and women who could make it had already arrived.
They gathered beneath the golden statue, each looking up with admiration and longing in their eyes.
Lin Yu's rise on the Eternal Continent was a legend, even a miracle!
A miracle that even mortal storytellers could not imagine.
From obscurity to becoming the continent's top individual, it only took him over a decade.
Among all those participating in the trial, Lin Yu was their lifelong pursuit and belief.
"I will definitely be selected in this trial!"
In the crowd, near the base of the golden statue, a one-armed youth's eyes revealed a resolute gaze.
A year ago, unwilling to be exploited by fate, after endless opportunities descended from the heavens, he resolutely dragged his injured body towards the great mountains thousands of miles away.
At that time, he swore that he would either emerge from the mountains with an opportunity or be buried there forever.
He no longer wanted to be tormented by an unjust fate.
He succeeded.
Although the cost was losing an arm.
But he still came out of the mountains.
When he heard that Piao Miao Sect was recruiting disciples from across the entire continent, he knew this was his chance, an excellent opportunity to prove to the world that he was not a waste.
So, he came. He would definitely become a strong individual like Lord Lin Yu in the future.
He believed that the opportunity would allow him to reach the peak of the continent and follow in Lord Lin Yu's footsteps.
...
At the edge of the plaza.
Almost everyone here was a mortal.
No matter where one went, various levels of hierarchy would unconsciously appear.
Even in this plaza, it was the same.
Those with cultivation could approach the golden statue to observe, but mortals could only watch from afar at the periphery.
In an inconspicuous corner, a seven or eight-year-old girl stood there.
Although she was a mortal, she exuded an invisible coldness.
It made people who approached her unconsciously move away.
This formed a small blank area.
She wore coarse linen clothes, but they were unusually clean, and her small face had delicate features.
But her eyes held an endless chill, like a pair of emotionless killer's eyes.
She had died once and crawled out of a pile of corpses.
All her emotions had completely disappeared with the destruction of her village.
In her small heart, there was nothing but revenge.
It took her a year to barely make it here.
No one knew how she managed to get here in that year.
But that didn't matter; the result was that she arrived here on time.
She came here for the art of killing. She believed that as long as she became a strong individual like the golden statue, she would definitely be able to avenge her family in the village.
At this moment, her cold eyes gained a hint of determination.
No matter what method she used, she would definitely persevere.
She didn't know what the thing inside her body was, but if it could save her when she was already dead, then it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
She believed that this thing would also make her stronger.
...
Among the three to four hundred million people, the situations of the youth and the little girl just mentioned were not isolated cases.
They were just a microcosm.
There were many other young men and women with their own stories among them.
They all had reasons not to be eliminated.
And above the sky, the Heavenly Cloud Sea surged like waves, and an observation deck, suspended high in the heavens, appeared faintly.
It was like a heavenly palace secret realm shrouded in a light veil. At first glance, it stirred one's heart, as if stepping into a dreamlike realm.
Nine crystal-clear jade pillars pierced directly into the star river, with faint blue immortal patterns flowing along their bodies, like a star river hanging upside down, or like thousands of spiritual veins flowing within them.
The faint glow emitted by the immortal patterns shimmered with the starlight, outlining mysterious and magnificent patterns, as if narrating the wonders of this immortal realm.
Suspended cloud stairs, like branches of the Milky Way, wound down from the observation deck directly to the sect's reception area.
The surface of the cloud stairs shimmered with a pearly luster. Walking on them, ripples appeared underfoot, like treading on waves, with clouds and mist swirling around, dreamlike and illusory.
With every step, tiny starlight flickered, adding a touch of agility to this immortal realm.
On the observation deck, dozens of observation areas were scattered in an orderly fashion, like stars.
Red, green, and golden sect flags fluttered, intertwining with the sea of clouds to form a magnificent painting.
The railings at the edge of the observation areas were embedded with forbidden runes. When spiritual energy surged, the runes burst forth with brilliant light, and the light intertwined into a net, enveloping the entire observation area, like an immortal realm barrier.
Rainbow bridges spanned across the various areas like rainbows, with liquid stardust flowing on them, sometimes condensing into a brilliant star river, sometimes transforming into agile swimming fish.
Their colors and forms changed endlessly with the shifting clouds and mist.
On both sides of the rainbow bridges, clouds and mist surged, as if spiritual beasts were moving and playing within them, and faint, ethereal calls could be heard.
This was the observation deck created by Dragon Ziyan and Ye Wanqing using powerful means.
It was a place for all invited sect forces and rogue cultivators from the continent to observe the event.
Each force had its own exclusive area.
This existence, like an immortal realm, made countless people from various forces marvel in awe.
This displayed Piao Miao Sect's courtesy and also demonstrated its formidable foundation.
