Chapter 536 Born at the Wrong Time

Now the situation has changed. As the saying goes, the one who feeds you is the mother. The other teams have benefited. Everyone naturally thinks that this is all the benefit obtained by relying on Gu Chengfeng and his team. Zhang Zhiwen did not expect that Wujie Mountain would be such a test, but he did not care. These people think that Gu Chengfeng and his team are powerful. Anyway, he will not lose a hair. He has also received the benefits he deserves. Gu Chengfeng and his team are naturally quite proud. They seem to have no reaction to what other teams say. They look cold, but it is obvious that they have a sense of superiority and seem to disdain to communicate with other teams. Obviously, they are the top ten ancient clans, or the top ten ancient sects. Their status and identity are different. How can they be compared with others?

After this change, the first level of the Ascension Steps soon appeared with a golden shield. This golden shield approached everyone again. Obviously, the test has begun again. Everyone has the first experience, so this time they are not so at a loss. Everyone knows that they have to go to the second level of the Ascension Steps and then jump onto the second level of the Ascension Steps.

In this way, each team began to walk towards the second level of the Ascension Stage. Soon, Gu Chengfeng and others were close to the Ascension Stage, and then they easily jumped onto the second level. The teams with weaker strength had some difficulty, but they still jumped up. Now the remaining teams are all teams with more than six members. The strength of these team members is similar, so this kind of jumping strength is still quite good. Only Zhang Zhiwen's team still looks extremely difficult, while other teams have already jumped up to prepare for the thunder tribulation test of Wujie Mountain. Therefore, everyone is laughing at Zhang Zhiwen and others.

"I'm afraid they can't get up this time!"

"If they can't get up, it will be terrible. Won't they be blasted out by Wujie Mountain?"

"They won't be blasted out, but they will definitely be forced out of the first floor and back to the original position. Then they will have to bear greater pressure, and they may not be blessed by the rain and dew of Taoism."

"Oh, it's really true. Logically, everyone came from the fairyland. If we can help them, we can help them, but the rules don't allow it."

"Yeah, anyway, there is no conflict of interest. It's really okay to help them. We naturally don't want to see them get to this point and still be eliminated by Wujie Mountain. That's a pity."

...

It must be said that these people are really good at talking. They seem to be listening to them, but in fact they are just laughing at them. Otherwise, they are the smart people in the fairyland. They are smarter than each other. Gu Chengfeng and others didn't react much after hearing what they said. It seems that this is an attitude that their status is higher than others. They don't seem to squeeze Zhang Zhiwen and others, but ignore them.

As for Zhang Zhiwen and others, they were all acting. Therefore, after several failed attempts, Zhang Zhiwen still led everyone to jump onto the second level of the Ascension Steps.

"Finally they made it up. I was worried for them!"

"That's right, but it's good to be up. Haha, it's also a chance to get the blessing of the Taoist rain and dew."

"That's true. Anyway, with Gu Chengfeng and the others taking the lead, everyone has a chance. They are lucky."

...

When a group of people saw Zhang Zhiwen and others coming up, they said some weird words again, but Zhang Zhiwen naturally didn't care. This was the effect he wanted. The more others looked down on him, the happier he was. Zhou Yiyan and others naturally knew Zhang Zhiwen's intentions, so their expressions were also quite strange, as if they were forbearing to not laugh, but this expression looked quite painful to others, which was more real than acting.

Of course, this was just a minor episode. Everyone climbed to the second floor, and thunderclouds began to gather in the sky. It seemed that the test of the purple thunder tribulation was coming again. Everyone was alert and prepared to defend against the arrival of the tribulation. At this time, the golden shield of the second floor of the Ascension Stage dissipated, and everyone could continue to move forward. Therefore, the thunder tribulation also fell with a bang.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, no one expected that this thunder tribulation would actually fall two at a time. This was different from the first floor. The first floor was a purple thunder that fell in one breath, and the second floor became two purple thunders. Obviously, as the number of floors increased, the number of purple thunders also increased accordingly.

As a result, a small number of teams could not withstand the two purple thunders that fell at the same time. Their translucent shields broke on the spot, and they were sent away on the spot and appeared directly on the outside. It seemed that they had to start all over again. After they appeared on the outside, the purple thunder tribulation fell again, and two purple thunder tribulations hit their translucent shields in a row. Their shields broke again, and they were eliminated on the spot!

The change came very quickly, and several teams were eliminated in an instant. However, other teams were better off. Even after suffering two thunder tribulations, they still managed to hold on. Gu Chengfeng and others were much more relaxed. Even after encountering two purple thunder tribulations, they still endured it easily. Zhang Zhiwen almost had his translucent shield broken. Fortunately, Zhang Zhiwen used the devouring power of the Immortal Mansion at the critical moment. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to withstand two thunder tribulations in a row. It’s not that Zhang Zhiwen couldn’t bear it, but Qian Xuanming and others simply couldn’t bear it.

But at this time, no one paid attention to Zhang Zhiwen's situation, because the others were busy with their own affairs, so how could they have the time to look at Zhang Zhiwen and others' situation? Obviously, there were two purple thunder tribulations in the second level of the Ascension Stage, and the difficulty of this test was doubled.

Gu Chengfeng and others were quite relaxed. They still walked slowly towards the central safety. Others naturally stared at their movements, because as long as they reached the central safety, the thunder tribulation would end, and everyone would pass the test. But Gu Chengfeng and others would not speed up because they wanted to give these people benefits. They still walked towards the safety step by step. At this time, others were a little anxious, because some teams could not bear it.

"Senior Brother Gu, can you hurry up? We can't bear it anymore!"

A cultivator in a team suddenly shouted, and then with a bang, the thunder tribulation fell, hitting his team and shaking violently, almost sending them away, and frightened them pale.

But when Gu Chengfeng and others heard this, they looked at the monk coldly, with a touch of disdain and sharpness in their eyes. Obviously, Gu Chengfeng and others were unhappy. How dare a low-level team order them around? They simply didn't know how to live or die.

But Gu Chengfeng and others didn't do anything. They just looked at it, and then walked towards the center safely at a leisurely speed. Seeing this scene, everyone came back to their senses. Everyone knew that Gu Chengfeng and others would not stand up to give them shelter, nor would they help them. Gu Chengfeng and others would not waste their energy for them. Now their speed is the best, and they can pass the second level of the Ascension Stage without any damage.

Therefore, other teams can only give up their extravagant hopes. In fact, they shouldn't have such extravagant hopes. They are not unaware that after all, these people are all smart people, but now that things have come to this point, they always hope to get help when they encounter a crisis, just like a drowning person who wants to hold on to a life-saving straw. Although they know that this is unrealistic, they will still subconsciously beg.

But begging was obviously useless. Gu Chengfeng and others would not pay attention to it, and no one in the top ten teams paid attention to it. Therefore, the thunder tribulation continued to fall, and one team after another was eliminated. This time, more teams were eliminated. Nearly a hundred teams were eliminated. After so many teams were eliminated, some teams discovered the situation of Zhang Zhiwen's team.

Zhang Zhiwen's side would naturally not be eliminated. At most, he would use the power of the Immortal Palace to swallow the thunder tribulation. However, he still had to act, otherwise it would be too conspicuous. Moreover, the fact that the Immortal Palace swallowed the thunder tribulation could not be exposed. Even if other teams did not know the specific situation, it would inevitably lead to speculation. In addition, Gu Chengfeng and other teams were not vegetarians. Zhang Zhiwen did not like to be seen through, otherwise it would be equivalent to putting himself in a dangerous place.

Then all the teams saw that Zhang Zhiwen and his team were struggling to hold on, unable to move forward, and the translucent shield that wrapped them was about to break again and again, which made everyone else tremble with fear, even Zhou Yiyan and others were trembling with fear. They secretly looked at Zhang Zhiwen, and their eyes clearly expressed a meaning, that is, Boss, is it really okay for us to do this? Won't it be that the acting will really come true?

But Zhang Zhiwen suddenly rolled his eyes, and Zhou Yiyan and others had nothing to say. They couldn't help but look at each other secretly. Obviously, they now know Zhang Zhiwen's strength. If Zhang Zhiwen can act so realistically, his strength must be far beyond the current pressure, otherwise he would not have such a strong control ability.

This is natural. With the help of the power of the Immortal Mansion, Zhang Zhiwen's thunder tribulation is almost non-existent, and even brings him small golden stones. He doesn't know what this thing is, but he knows that it must be something good. In this case, the more the better, and now it's just in time, so why not take the opportunity to get more?

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen and others are on the verge of being eliminated and not being eliminated. At this time, other teams are not in the mood to watch, because they are upset and restless. They themselves have huge pressure, so they concentrate on fighting against the thunder tribulation.

This back and forth, the team where Gu Chengfeng and others are finally arrived at the central safety place, and the thunder tribulation disappeared instantly. Everyone couldn't help but fall to the ground, gasping for breath, and they all looked like they had survived a disaster.

It must be said that this thunder tribulation is extremely powerful. After all, it is a golden elixir heavenly tribulation. This is equivalent to these people feeling the heavenly tribulation they suffered when condensing the golden elixir in advance. Although this is only a relatively weak second-order thunder tribulation, that is, two purple thunders come down at a time. This is a relatively low heavenly tribulation, but it has been resisted many times, more than seven or eight times, and the golden elixir heavenly tribulation itself has to withstand nine heavenly tribulations, but the number of purple thunders sent down each time is different, ranging from the first order to the ninth order.

In this way, the strength of this group of people is naturally extremely unusual. With the foundation-building cultivation, they have withstood the second-order heavenly tribulation. Ordinary immortal realm cultivators may not be able to withstand a second-order thunder tribulation, but this group of people held on, and Zhang Zhiwen's team was the most thrilling. Therefore, when everyone got a breath, this feeling of rebirth after the tribulation made them alive again. They naturally found that Zhang Zhiwen's team was still here. They were really a little surprised, and they couldn't help but have something to say.

"He's really tenacious!"

"Yeah, he managed to get through them. I have to say, this guy is quite capable."

"He used his strength to hold on, otherwise his team would have been finished long ago. I don't know what to say about him. He is very strong, but unfortunately his team is too bad."

"Speaking of strength, he is indeed very strong, not inferior to those people in Gu Chengfeng, right?"

"It's probably fate. If he was in the top ten immortal realms, he wouldn't be so embarrassed now. Look at him, he is so tired that he can't speak, and he is also injured. Those people in his team are almost dying, and I'm afraid they can't hold on for too long."

"Indeed, it's a pity for this guy. He was born at the wrong time and in the wrong place."

...

When a group of people saw Zhang Zhiwen and others pass the test, they had their own opinions, and they all seemed to feel sorry for Zhang Zhiwen. In fact, the implication was that they were gloating. What pity or not, are they really that kind? It's nothing more than thinking that Zhang Zhiwen is so powerful, but it's useless. In the end, he was dragged down by his teammates.

Gu Chengfeng and others heard the discussion. They couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhiwen more. Zhang Zhiwen was indeed a cultivator they valued, because Zhang Zhiwen was a cultivator of nine kinds of ancient Taoism and a cultivator of the True Realm. Such strength should not be underestimated.

Gu Chengfeng and others didn't look down on everyone. They would naturally pay attention to people like Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang Zhiwen now pulled the team to this place by himself. If you want to say that this kind of perseverance and endurance is something that ordinary people can't do, then Gu Chengfeng and others will naturally look at Zhang Zhiwen more.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I see you are struggling so much, why don't you come here?"

Suddenly, Gu Chengfeng spoke, and this was extremely sudden. When Gu Chengfeng spoke, everyone looked at Gu Chengfeng, and their expressions were quite stunned, especially the other top ten teams. They obviously didn't expect Gu Chengfeng to invite Zhang Zhiwen to join his team at this time.

But will this work? Moreover, Gu Chengfeng is obviously planning to recruit Zhang Zhiwen. Gu Chengfeng's team itself is currently the top-ranked team. If Zhang Zhiwen joins Gu Chengfeng's team, wouldn't it be like adding wings to a tiger?

At this moment, the minds of all parties showed extremely obvious differences. The cultivators in Gu Chengfeng's team naturally reacted, because if Zhang Zhiwen joined the team, it meant that someone in the team would leave. Who would leave? That was naturally up to Gu Chengfeng and Zhong Lilan. Therefore, although they were a little repulsive, they didn't dare to say much.

The top ten small fairyland teams had another view, because if Guchengfeng recruited Zhang Zhiwen, wouldn't they be even less of a match for Guchengfeng's team? Therefore, they all looked at each other in surprise. Obviously, they were also thinking the same plan as Guchengfeng, and at least wanted to disrupt Guchengfeng's plan.

As for the other teams, they were a little surprised, but soon they felt that this seemed to be natural. The combination of the strong must be the best.

But Zhou Yiyan and others were naturally surprised after hearing this, and they didn't want Zhang Zhiwen to leave, because Zhang Zhiwen was a big thigh, a super big thigh. With Zhang Zhiwen here, they must be able to successfully pass the Wujie Mountain.

But this kind of thing is not something they can decide. Everything depends on Zhang Zhiwen's intention. When Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he didn't seem surprised, but he was curious about how Guchengfeng's proposal was realized? Because once the translucent shield that wrapped the team was broken, it would be considered a challenge failure, and if the shield did not break, he couldn't join the Guchengfeng team, right?
