Chapter 35 The trial is over
A blinding ray of sunlight pierced through the branches and leaves, and when everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a dense forest of sinkholes.
Lin Que felt that this place was somewhat familiar, and carefully looked around.
It turned out to be inside the sinkhole where he and Li Yao were.
So that's how everyone got here. No wonder Li Yao said that the location of Dan Valley in the records wasn't here.
Lin Que suddenly felt something in his arms. He took it out and saw that it was a scripture.
The way of formation!
Huh? When did this appear on him? Lin Que didn't even feel it.
After careful recollection, it seems that when I entered the secret chamber, I happened to brush past Elder Xing.
Never mind, let's consider it another opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the Dan Valley's heritage includes not only the art of alchemy but also the art of formations. I doubt any other sect in the world would ever know that the prestigious Dan Valley, in addition to alchemy and medicine, is also proficient in formations.
Lin Que shook his head, trying not to think about those things. He put away the book of formations and looked at everyone, especially Sect Master Meng Daoran.
He then said, "Sect Master, now only we disciples remain. What should we do next? Please give your orders!"
Meng Daoran looked at Lin Que in front of him with a complicated expression.
After a moment, he looked away from the crowd and said, "Everyone, there are only a few of us left now. Dan Valley is now just a name without substance."
"This place was discovered by chance by Elder Xing and me during our travels."
"After our investigation, we found that this place is extremely suitable for seclusion, so we built a teleportation array here to connect with the sect."
"So that it can be used in times of crisis, so you don't need to panic."
"However, Dan Valley is now practically defunct."
"I hereby announce that if any of you wish to leave, you may do so through the teleportation array within the valley."
"You are no longer members of the Pill Valley, and the Pill Valley sect will cease to exist in the future."
After saying these words, Meng Daoran looked extremely dejected. The foundation of Dan Valley had been destroyed in his hands, which made him extremely sad.
"metropolitan!!!"
"Please rescind your order!!!"
The disciples all knelt down and wept as they spoke.
One of the disciples stepped forward and said to Meng Daoran, "Sect Master, although you said that the Dan Valley sect will no longer exist..."
“But I believe that as long as we are alive, the legacy of Dan Valley will not be broken.”
"Moreover, this place is in an excellent location, allowing us to recuperate and rebuild the Dan Valley."
"Dan Valley can be considered my home. I grew up here. If I leave Dan Valley, the world will become a strange place."
"As long as you, the sect leader, don't look down on us ordinary disciples, this place will become the second Pill Valley in the future."
After saying that, he knelt down again, tears streaming down his face.
Looking at the scene before him, Meng Daoran's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and he choked out, "Good!"
"I hereby declare this place to be the new Dan Valley."
"Cough...cough!"
After saying this, Meng Daoran, due to the severity of his injuries, coughed incessantly and finally coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"metropolitan!!!"
Everyone crowded around, very concerned about the sect leader's injuries. Lin Que stepped forward and took Meng Daoran's pulse to check the situation.
"call!"
"It's alright! He's just injured and unconscious. Everyone, spread out a bit and give the sect leader some space to rest."
Lin Que told everyone about Meng Daoran's situation, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.
Over the next few days, under Lin Que's command, the group set up simple accommodations, at least temporarily relieving them of the worry about finding a place to stay.
You ask why everyone is willing to listen to Lin Que's commands?
Besides Lin Que having a good impression on everyone, there's another point.
You're experienced!
Lin Que is extremely experienced when it comes to building thatched huts!
......
"Junior Brother Lin! Junior Brother Lin!"
"Come quickly, the sect leader wants to talk to you."
Huang Fulin rushed into Lin Que's room and saw Lin Que slowly waking up from his cultivation.
"Compared to the art of alchemy, the art of formations is far too difficult," Lin Que muttered to himself.
The sect members have been here for three months. After establishing the sect's basic structure, Lin Que has been studying the Dao of Formations, but he has only just reached the entry level. The Dao of Formations is extremely profound and seems to be far more complex than he imagined.
Lin Que originally planned to thoroughly study the Dao of Formations first, hoping to find a way back to Blue Star from it.
It seems that there is still a long way to go.
"Is the sect leader looking for me?"
"Let's go then!"
Lin Que got up, tidied himself up briefly, and headed towards the new sect hall.
When Lin Que arrived at the sect's main hall, Meng Daoran was already waiting there.
Lin Que stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Sect Master, I heard you came to see me. What brings you here?"
Meng Daoran nodded, looking melancholy, and said, "I've called you here today to tell you something. You probably already know that my days are numbered."
Lin Que remained silent.
It turns out that after arriving here that day, Meng Daoran vomited blood and fell into a coma. When Lin Que went to check his pulse and condition, he did not tell the truth to everyone.
In fact, Meng Daoran's physical condition was extremely poor. He had suffered very serious injuries and was also poisoned. His body had been constantly eroded by the toxins, and so far he had been suppressing them with his internal spiritual energy.
According to Lin Que's estimate, he can only last for six months at most.
Meng Daoran continued, "I plan to make a final breakthrough. If I successfully break through the tribulation, I can resolve these injuries."
"If we fail, would you... be willing to take over as the sect leader of Dan Valley?"
After speaking, Meng Daoran looked at Lin Que with hopeful eyes.
Lin Que was surprised that Meng Daoran intended to pass on his position to him after his failure and death. He frowned and said, "Sect Master, I'm afraid my strength is insufficient to support the position of Sect Master."
Meng Daoran shook his head and said, "I know you are not strong enough right now, but you may not know about the succession of the sect leader position in Dan Valley."
"The succession of the sect leader position in Dan Valley is based not on strength, but on character."
"Based on your performance so far, you are the most suitable person in the sect to take over."
"A person who is willing to take responsibility for their mistakes when punished."
"A person who will never abandon the sect in times of crisis."
"A person who is admired by all the disciples of the sect."
"If someone like this can't take over the position of sect leader, then who can?"
Seeing that Meng Daoran had already said all that, Lin Que no longer refused and gladly accepted the arrangement.
When Meng Daoran saw that Lin Que had agreed, he smiled with relief, for the Dan Valley's legacy had a successor.
According to Meng Daoran's own plan, he intended to attempt to break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm in another month.
When the appointed time arrived, Meng Daoran summoned all his disciples to the main hall and announced his previous decision: after his failed breakthrough, the position of sect leader would be passed on to Lin Que.
He then went into seclusion to focus on his breakthrough.
As Meng Daoran's aura surged for several days in a row, everyone thought that the sect leader was about to break through successfully, but only Lin Que sighed and shook his head.
It was already destined.
Meng Daoran's downfall was inevitable.
The trials within the Illusion Stone are a reflection of what happened in Dan Valley.
As expected, Meng Daoran's originally high aura gradually faded until it was no longer noticeable.
The crowd suddenly realized what had happened and burst into tears!
"metropolitan!!!"
The valley echoed with the cries of grief from everyone. Although it was just a trial, Lin Que felt the pain deeply, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Within the sect, three days of grief and mourning ensued.
Subsequently, as arranged by Meng Daoran, Lin Que took over the position of sect leader of Dan Valley, and no one in the sect objected to this.
Whether it was a deliberate arrangement during the trial or not, as the years passed, Lin Que gradually aged. Even though Lin Que's cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he could not escape aging and death.
As Lin Que lay dying, he successfully found a successor.
Lying in bed, Lin Que closed his eyes peacefully.
With the end of the Illusion Stone Trial.
When Lin Que opened his eyes again, he had returned to the real world and was still in the empty underground square, unchanged.
The difference was in Lin Que's eyes.
A touch of vicissitude has been added...
