Beast Taming: I Have an Immortal Mansion

Moreover, while Tu Yuan hadn't been looking around indiscriminately, his gaze had swept over this area. Yet, he showed no particular reaction to Tu Dai'Er.

These suspicions piled up in Fang Qingyuan's mind, but he was wise enough not to ask. He had made up his mind: he wouldn't meddle in what wasn't his business. Whatever secrets Tu Dai'Er had, he wasn't interested in the slightest.

Seeing that Fang Qingyuan didn't respond, the corners of Tu Dai'Er's lips curled up slightly. Then she too fell silent, simply following the group's flight.

After flying for about fifteen minutes, the large group followed Gui Qingkong to the center of Jixia City. Here, a lake appeared before them.

The lake didn't seem particularly vast. Fang Qingyuan felt that its surface area was even smaller than the lake within his own Immortal Mansion.

In the center of the lake was an island, perpetually shrouded in clouds and mist. Today was no different, though now that they were closer, they could finally make out the island's true appearance.

But after getting a clear look at the small island, many of the Golden Core Cultivators felt a tinge of disappointment. For the grand cultivation grounds of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, its appearance was far too plain and unremarkable.

The island's surface was only slightly elevated above the water. It was mostly composed of sandbars, with a low-lying thatched hall built in the center, its layout also very simple.

'Is this really where a Divinity Transformation Cultivator resides?'

Harboring such doubts, Fang Qingyuan descended. The very instant his feet touched the ground, he felt the entire space shift abruptly and realized that there was a whole other world hidden here.

Fifth-grade Spiritual Qi rushed to meet him. Every pore on Fang Qingyuan's body seemed to tremble. The incredibly dense Spiritual Power was like swarms of sentient Silverfish, scrambling to drill into his body.

With just a single breath of air, Fang Qingyuan felt his entire body being cleansed. A pleasant sensation spread through his internal organs. This was a Divinity Transformation Spiritual Land, a Tribulation Crossing Land that could help a Golden Core Cultivator break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. It was truly extraordinary.

After briefly sensing the Spiritual Qi, Fang Qingyuan discovered that beyond the surging Spiritual Power, the space itself seemed to have been stretched wider and longer. The island still had the same appearance, but it had become immeasurably vast.

The endless sandbars now stretched as far as the eye could see. The small thatched hall from before now stood distantly on the edge of the horizon. It was visible, yet it gave the distinct illusion of being forever unreachable.

Standing within it, one couldn't help but feel their own insignificance.

Indeed, the cultivation ground of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator was clearly not as ordinary as it appeared on the surface. Only now did everything before him match what Fang Qingyuan had imagined.

"First, let me tell you the rules..."

As the Jixia City Lord and a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, Gui Qingkong was very polite to the Trial Cultivators, showing no airs at all.

However, this comforting attitude lasted only until Gui Qingkong announced the rules of the trial, which immediately triggered a loud clamor and a wave of indignant questions from the crowd.

It turned out that the very first rule upon entering this Land of Trial was that all Spiritual Power would be sealed. According to Gui Qingkong, it was a restriction that prevented the use of any Magic, magic treasures, or Talents—absolutely everything was forbidden.

"Does that mean we'll all become ordinary people once we go in?"

One Golden Core Cultivator, disregarding Gui Qingkong's esteemed status, blurted out his doubts. His words immediately drew a chorus of agreement from many other Cultivators.

It was true. Since birth, these Golden Core Cultivators had grown accustomed to the existence of Magical Power and Spiritual Qi. If they couldn't use anything, how would they be any different from the blind, deaf, and lame?

At the Golden Core Realm, Divine Sense had largely replaced their eyes, and flight had replaced walking. This didn't even account for their Cultivation Techniques, which constantly affected their bodies. If all that were completely sealed, the potential dangers of the Land of Trial were one thing. But for some cultivators of unorthodox paths, the hidden ailments in their bodies would likely erupt immediately.

After hearing this, Fang Qingyuan's expression also grew troubled. He had many secrets and hadn't thought much of this trial to begin with. Now that his Talent and Magical Power were to be sealed, he was even more reluctant.

But it was a case of some being happy and some being sad; there were those who strongly supported this decision.

"If no one can use their abilities, it's actually fair. At least no one will be competing based on their wealth."

This came from the Loose Cultivators who were not as wealthy. When it came to comparing resources, who could possibly compete with the Major Sect Cultivators? If no one could use anything, both sides would be on a relatively equal footing. For the Loose Cultivators, this was indeed a great opportunity.

Even some Major Sect Disciples were eager to give it a try after hearing the rule. Some Golden Core Disciples who had only just left their sects for experience even thought to themselves:

'Maybe this way, my achievements will be more convincing. After all, people always criticize me for being the descendant of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, saying I have an inherent advantage. I want to make a name for myself through my own efforts!'

Of course, Fang Qingyuan was unaware of such thoughts. If he were, he would have scoffed at the sentiment. 'Easy for them to say.'

Seeing the hesitant expressions on many faces, Gui Qingkong offered a second option:

"I know everyone's circumstances are different, so I will give you another choice. Cultivators who are unwilling to have their powers sealed to participate in the trial may cultivate here for five days instead. That way, the invitations you all worked so hard to collect will not have been in vain."

Hearing Gui Qingkong's offer, many of those who had just been wavering backed down. Clearly, this form of compensation was enough to prove just how precious this trial was.

Combined with Jixia City's excellent reputation, they felt that their safety would be guaranteed since it was just a trial, even with their Magical Power, Talents, and Divine Techniques sealed. So, when Gui Qingkong presented the second option, many of them actually reversed course and decided to participate.
