Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1960: Chapter 1959: What is Tianjiao?

Buddha Demon Heavenly Song saw everyone looking at him.

Among these people, there are young talents like him, and senior grandmasters like Qin Feng.

Facing the gaze of so many wushu experts, he remained composed and smiled slightly, saying:

”Regarding this formation, if I’m not mistaken, it is an ancient formation called Dragon Tiger Tiaojiao Formation. Of course, this formation has been improved upon and differs somewhat from the original Dragon Tiger Tiaojiao Formation.”

”In ancient times, the Dragon Tiger Tiaojiao Formation was solely used to test the talents of Tianjiao.”

”However, the formation here is evidently more than that. It contains killing arrays within, meant to prevent some people from entering Hidden Dragon Cave.”

Upon hearing this, most people understood the situation of this formation.

That is, only the Tianjiao can pass through this formation.

If not, rashly entering will cause the hidden killing array to strike.

At the moment, Qin Feng heard Buddha Demon Heavenly Song’s words and respectfully exclaimed, ”The young monk’s knowledge is truly profound, even delving into ancient formations.”

Lin Dong also looked at Buddha Demon Heavenly Song with some surprise, thinking that this Buddha Demon Heavenly Song is indeed extraordinary.

Buddha Demon Heavenly Song modestly explained, ”As a young monk, I have always enjoyed reading ancient books, and fortunately, our Ten Thousand Buddhas Path’s ’Book Collection Pavilion’ contains many ancient books from ancient times. Inside, there are books about formations, and I happened to read the introduction to this formation.”

”Of course, while I can recognize this formation, it doesn’t mean I can set it up myself.”

”The person who can set up this formation is truly formidable. I suspect it might be arranged by the Hidden Dragon Superior.”

Lin Dong speculated the same, guessing that this formation is likely set up by the Hidden Dragon Superior.

The purpose behind it was likely to select inheritors.

And to become his inheritor, naturally the first step must be to be a Tianjiao!

Even after death, someone like Hidden Dragon Superior adheres to one principle: the Dao is not lightly passed on, only to Tianjiao.

At the moment, someone questioned curiously, ”So specifically, what standards must one meet to be recognized as a Tianjiao by this formation?”

Upon saying this, everyone fell silent.

Anyone who came here naturally believed they were Tianjiao!

At the moment, a martial artist from Ancient European Country stood out and declared:

”Let me, a Tianjiao from a martial world family in Ancient European Country, give it a try!”

This is a Tianjiao from a martial world family in Ancient European Country, with a Saint in his family to hold fort.

He himself is the foremost Tianjiao in his family.

He is about twenty years old, with strength at the peak stage master. Achieving such accomplishments at this age, he is considered outstanding in the Martial Arts World.

In countries with somewhat weaker martial foundations, he would rank among the top three of the younger generation.

Believing himself to be a Tianjiao, he wanted to try breaking through this formation.

With a ”whoosh~”, he condensed his inner qi, forming a pair of wings behind him, then flew like a meteor towards the formation.

The interior of the formation was misty, revealing a ninety-nine step cloud ladder after he entered.

Only those who can climb over this ninety-nine step cloud ladder are considered to have passed the formation, allowing them to continue deeper into Dragon Hidden Mountain.

This ’Tianjiao’ from Ancient European Country began climbing the cloud ladder upon entering the mist.

It was smooth at first, without any hindrance.

However, upon reaching the tenth step, suddenly a massive resistance descended.

He clenched his teeth, wanting to continue climbing.

”Boom!”

But when he reached the fifteenth step, suddenly lightning struck from above.

”Ah!” he screamed, directly charred black like burnt coal by the lightning.

His companions immediately rushed over, shouting, ”Young master, are you okay?”

The result was obvious.

His young master had problems; being charred black, how could he be okay?

They quickly checked their young master’s pulse, finding it already cold.

Instantly, their face turned pale.

”My young master is dead; this damn formation killed him!”

”My young master, at twenty-five years old, is at the peak stage master. Is that not Tianjiao enough?”

Everyone was silent.

At twenty-five years old, peak stage master; few present were like him. Seeing him struck dead by lightning, they could not help but shake their heads bitterly.

”I’m twenty-six, peak stage master, seems even less likely.”

”I’m twenty-four, peak stage master, probably not either.”

”I’m twenty, intermediate stage master. Surely not, right?”

”...”

At this moment, many were determined to give up; they couldn’t proceed with the road ahead.

They could only return.

Of course, they didn’t leave immediately, choosing to watch further.

Wanting to see what level must be achieved to pass this formation.

At this moment, an elder stood forward.

With a skinny figure, dry face, and wrinkled skin, he seemed like a person about to become a dried tree.

However, from his aura, it could be determined he was actually an Earth Realm martial artist.

This was a Dragon Country warrior.

Although an Earth Realm martial artist, Lin Dong had never met him.

He appeared to be a loose cultivator!

Not competing for fame, hence never appearing on various rankings.

At this moment, he hoarsely spoke:

”I’ve lived nearly two hundred years, currently a First Stage Grandmaster.”

”If unable to break through to Second Stage Grandmaster, my lifespan will end soon. I’ve come to Hidden Dragon Cave seeking opportunity, wishing to break through to Second Stage Grandmaster and extend my lifespan.”

”I’d like to borrow another hundred years from heaven.”

”I wonder if my Earth Realm martial artist’s strength counts as Tianjiao?”

Saying this, he flew towards the formation.

Initially, like the ’Tianjiao’ from Ancient European Country who was struck by lightning, he swiftly climbed the ten-step cloud ladder.

However, upon reaching the twenty-step cloud ladder, like the ’Tianjiao’ from Ancient European Country, he felt a massive resistance.

Seeing he was also a Dragon Country warrior, Lin Dong reminded him from behind:

”Don’t proceed further, otherwise the Killing Formation may activate.”

Though the elder heard Lin Dong’s reminder, he still persistently moved forward.

”BOOM!!!”

As he took another step forward, the Killing Formation within the array activated.

Thunderbolts struck him down from the sky.

Being an Earth Realm martial artist, he didn’t instantly turn into charred coal like the ’Tianjiao’ from Ancient European Country.

He held on for a few seconds.

In these last seconds of his life, he let out a piercing howl, as if roaring with his very life:

”You damn heavens, I’m not content!”

He knew that moving forward had a ninety-nine percent chance of triggering the Killing Formation, as Lin Dong had said.

Yet with only one percent hope left, he chose to fight.

For if he didn’t fight, he wouldn’t have many years left to live.

No matter how strong one is, how can they overcome time? Overcome age?

”Bang~~” At this moment, he collapsed to the ground.

Unwilling to die to age, he chose to battle the heavens.

Even though he lost, he was worthy of everyone’s admiration!

From this, everyone drew another conclusion.

That even if one is an Earth Realm martial artist, if too old, they still cannot ascend the ninety-nine step cloud ladder, thus cannot be deemed Tianjiao.

This fact discouraged quite a few elderly Earth Realm martial artists.
