On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

She couldn't ascertain if they were alive or not, but what she had just witnessed was unbelievable.

The startling aspect was that the one responsible for this display of power was a girl who was merely half the size of the group of men.

Emilia's mischievous smile lit up her face as she playfully rubbed her head. "Would you believe me if I told you I took piano and calligraphy lessons?" she asked.

Aria's astonishment grew, struggling to comprehend Emilia's response. "Piano and calligraphy?

But... how does that explain what just happened?" she pondered, still in disbelief.

Aria couldn't fathom how piano and calligraphy lessons could lead to such to an 18 years old girl to beat 10 people.

It made her wonder if there was more to Emilia than meets the eye.

However, she couldn't ignore the evidence right before her eyes.

This girl had effortlessly taken down a group of men twice her size.

Aria couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right.

Thoughts raced through her mind as she pondered the possibility that Emilia was concealing something.

Aria wasn't the only one who shared this thought; Leng Zhiqing also observed Emilia effortlessly overpowering her opponents with the same impression.

Out of all the people present, Leng Zhiqing was the most acquainted with Emilia, even more so than Chen Tian himself, given that she had spent a significant amount of time with her.

Emilia had always been a mysterious person, quick to get angry and occasionally showing off her airheadedness around Chen Tian.

Her emotions seemed as changeable as the wind.

Despite her occasional outbursts, Leng Zhiqing could affirm that Emilia was incapable of doing what she did today.

"She was definitely hiding something." Leng Zhiqing thought in her mind.

It wasn't a game, a movie, or an anime.

Even with extensive practice, an 18-year-old would not be capable of performing such actions.

Emilia had something unique about her, something that enabled her to accomplish such feats.

Leng Zhiqing couldn't quite pinpoint what it was, but she sensed Emilia was hiding something.

As she pondered this secret, Leng Zhiqing couldn't resist feeling a growing sense of intrigue and curiosity toward Emilia.

That's why she didn't stay silent and said, "Emilia, you're lying."

Emilia was implicated by Leng Zhiqing's accusation, and her eyes widened in surprise. She had never been called out like this before.

She realized that there was no point in trying to conceal anything from the sisters.

Instead of denying it, she took a daring step and chose to disclose to them about her secret.

She decided to be honest and share as much as she could without revealing Chen Tina's secrets, understanding that it was his responsibility to disclose such matters to his family himself.

"Sigh..." With a deep breath, Emilia began to speak. "You're right, Leng Zhiqing. I have been lying."

The sisters exchanged glances as Emilia continued, her voice hesitating. "The truth is, I've been hiding something from all of you.

I... I would like to tell you everything, but let's not do it here."

Emilia spoke, her eyes scanning their surroundings.

The sisters turned their attention in the same direction as Emilia, witnessing the defeated state of the ten men lying on the ground and the wreckage of the car.

The fat man remained pinned to the car, bearing a noticeable dent in his stomach from the collision's force.

Upon witnessing the aftermath, the girls made the decision to depart from the scene.

Naturally, they remembered to call the police after regaining a signal on their phones.

"Husband, when are you coming back?" Emilia thought to herself as she drove back home.

She hoped that Chen Tian could arrive faster and explain things to both sisters.

Now, Emilia found herself with no other option but to take on the task of explaining things in Chen Tian's absence, anxiously hoping he would return soon.

********

Back inside the trial grounds...

Unaware of the events unfolding on Earth, Chen Tian felt a pulsating greed within his Dantian. It trembled incessantly, akin to a hungry beast finding its prey.

In this case, the feeling was justified, for before Chen Tian lay the very object he had come to this place to obtain.

It emitted a mesmerizing fiery glow, captivating him and intensifying his eagerness to snatch it immediately.

Fire Crystal!

At last, he had found what he was searching for.

However, there was one predicament – he couldn't approach the stone.

Chen Tian stood on a large, square-shaped platform that hovered mysteriously in the middle of the sky.

Fluffy clouds enveloped the platform, concealing any glimpse of what lay beneath.

Overwhelmed by the surreal sight, Chen Tian found himself in awe, utterly captivated by the breathtaking scene before him.

In the center of the platform, there were two gigantic stairs, each one vibrant and distinct. One staircase was painted in a striking shade of red, while the other shimmered in a mesmerizing blue hue.

They spiraled upwards, seemingly stretching infinitely into the heavens, and an aura of mystique enveloped the whole place.

But the weirdest thing was that each of both stairs led to the same place on top - a floating platform that everyone could see.

On either side of the platform, two grand statues stood, capturing everyone's attention: a majestic dragon and a splendid phoenix, gazing down upon Chen Tian and the assembled crowd.

The dragon statue exuded an aura of power and wisdom, with its imposing figure and intricate details reflecting its ancient and mythical nature.

On the other side, the phoenix statue emanated an air of grace and rebirth, its vibrant feathers seemingly ready to burst into flames, only to rise again from the ashes.

But what got Chen Tian's attention was the fiery crystal in the middle of both statues, pulsating with an otherworldly energy that seemed to connect the two statues.

Its intense red glow cast an ethereal light upon the entire courtyard, captivating everyone's gaze.

He sensed a magnetic pull drawing him closer to the crystal, almost as if his Dantian couldn't wait to absorb it.

'Now how the hell do I get my hands on that?' Chen Tian wondered, his curiosity piqued.

If he wanted to obtain the fiery crystal, Chen Tian knew he would have to reach the top of the other platform.

But he couldn't act rationally as it was a trial, and he couldn't afford to make any rash decisions.

While lost in thought, Long Wei suddenly materialized on the opposite platform.

He gracefully landed on the dragon-head statues, gazing down at the participants with a smirk playing on his lips.

Within seconds, another figure, Su Linhua, appeared beside him on the statues.

The participants from the ice trial, who had just arrived on the platform below, gasped in awe at the stunning sight before them.

"Tian!" A white-haired girl with a beautiful face shouted.

Her fair complexion radiated a soft white glow, and her eyes sparkled like precious rubies, reflecting the curiosity and intelligence within her.

The delicate curve of her eyebrows framed her eyes perfectly, giving her an expression of both wisdom and innocence.

The girl was none other than Su Bingxin, and a bright smile adorned her face as she caught sight of Chen Tian among the participants.

With open arms, she rushed toward him, her long, flowing white hair trailing behind her like a gentle breeze.

Chen Tian's heart skipped a beat as he watched her approach, her infectious joy and warmth filling the air around them.

"Bingxin" Chen Tian smiled upon seeing her, his eyes lighting up with love.

For the past few days, Chen Tian had deeply missed her, and he wasn't alone in this longing; Su Bingxin also yearned to be in his arms once more.

Su Bingxin embraced him tightly as he approached, their bond undeniable.

Bingxin whispered softly, "I've missed you so much, Chen Tian."

And he replied, "I've missed you too."

'Ah, I missed this!' Su Bingxin thought to herself, as she buried her face in Chen Tian's chest, feeling the warmth and comfort of his embrace.

It had been far too long since they were last together, and the longing in her heart was finally fulfilled.

Both of them were in their own little world, wrapped in each other's arms, oblivious to everything else around them.

Time seemed to slow down, and the bustling noises of the outside world faded into a distant hum.

At that moment, it was as if they were the only two people in existence.

The worries and stresses of their daily lives melted away, replaced by an overwhelming sense of peace and contentment.

Su Bingxin felt safe and cherished in Chen Tian's embrace, while Chen Tian felt a profound sense of joy at having Su Bingxin by his side once again

Only after getting enough did both of them reluctantly break away from each other, their smiles lingering on their faces.
