Chapter 213 The Projections of the Celestial Kings
Who is she?
Shen Wenxin stared at Gu Yan, his heart pounding, a feeling he had never experienced before welling up inside him. Not only Shen Wenxin, but Kong Qing was also staring intently at Gu Yan.
On the Wood Spirit Hall side, Song Qi was overjoyed the moment he saw Gu Yan.
It was her, it was Fairy Lin.
I'm so glad she's alright.
For the past two thousand five hundred years, although Gu Yan had remained within the Wood Spirit Palace, he had never stepped outside the secret realm. Aside from Qing Xuanzi, he hadn't even seen Xiao Yu until he emerged from the secret realm. Song Qi and the other Wood Spirit Palace disciples only knew that Gu Yan had met the ancestor mentioned by their master, but they knew nothing of what happened afterward.
Song Qi kept pressing his master, Xiao Yu, for an answer, but Xiao Yu never gave him one.
Lu Yan saw the white figure on the Jueqing Palace's immortal ship and revealed a resentful and vicious look in her eyes.
When did Lin Daiyu return to the Palace of Heartbreak?
Wait, her scent...
Lu Yan was merely a True Immortal, and she couldn't actually determine Gu Yan's true cultivation level, which was many times higher than hers. However, her senior brother was a Golden Immortal, and there were many Golden Immortal cultivators in the Wood Spirit Palace. Right now, Gu Yan gave her the same feeling as her senior brother Song Qi, and the other Golden Immortal senior brothers and sisters.
That's impossible, isn't it?
It's just that he was promoted from the early stage of True Immortal to the Golden Immortal stage in 2,500 years.
How... how is this possible?
There must be something wrong with this.
Could she have been a Golden Immortal in the first place?
Lu Yan had no choice but to accept this explanation.
Thinking of that vile woman Lin Daiyu, who was clearly a Golden Immortal but still bullied the weak and attacked a True Immortal, I felt that Lin Daiyu was utterly despicable.
Lu Yan was shocked by the speed at which Gu Yan's cultivation had improved, assuming that he had been hiding his true strength. As for Song Qi, who admired "Lin Daiyu," upon seeing "Fairy Lin," he was only excited and didn't notice anything else.
A mountain breeze swept by, stirring up the sea of clouds.
Five Elements Mountain shone with five-colored brilliance, followed by dazzling celestial light in the sky, and a terrifying aura descended. Everyone looked up at the sky and saw enormous illusory figures of Dharma images appearing on the heavens. These Dharma images seemed to be as tall as the heavens and earth, each exuding immense power and terrifying majesty.
This is a projection of the Dharma forms of the various Immortal Kings in the Immortal Alliance.
Looking around, Gu Yan saw the projection of Lu Huanong, the Palace Master of the Heartless Palace, and Xiao Yu, the Palace Master of the Wood Spirit Palace. He didn't recognize the other Immortal Kings. He searched for Qing Xuanzi among these Immortal King projections, but couldn't find him.
Besides the two familiar Celestial Kings, Lu Huanong and Xiao Yu, the Celestial King who caught Gu Yan's attention among the other Celestial Kings was Chi Tian, the Celestial King of the Golden Crow Clan. Chi Tian's Dharma projection was like a giant sun, and a figure sat upright in the sunlight. The figure was backlit and completely indistinct, with only a rough outline visible.
Whether it was a misperception or not, when Gu Yan looked at the projection of the Immortal King Chitian's Dharma form, he felt a gaze coming from the distant void and landing on him.
It seems to be the Celestial King Chitian.
When he looked at Chitian, Chitian also glanced at him.
The appearance of the Celestial Kings caused a stir at Five Elements Mountain, until an old man in white robes appeared alongside dozens of Grand Luo Golden Immortals, calming the crowd's excitement. The old man in white robes, whose strength was at the peak of the late Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage, was of unknown origin.
His aged, vast voice came from the sky, echoing in everyone's ears:
"The Five Elements revolve, and the Great Dao contends. The Trial of Five Elements Mountain is about to begin."
In an instant, the wind and clouds shifted.
Multicolored light flashed in the sky, and countless runes were imprinted in the void. Then, a gate resembling a giant compass appeared in the sky. This gate was the Gate of Trials, leading to the true Five Elements Mountain Secret Realm.
As everyone gazed at the colossal gate towering in the sky, they became excited once more.
The white-robed elder raised his hand, and a five-colored token appeared in his palm: "This token in my hand is called the Five Elements Token. All disciples participating in the Five Elements Mountain Trial must find five tokens after entering the secret realm. One month later, those who come out with five tokens are considered qualified and can enter the next round of the competition."
"Besides the tokens, the secret realm also holds many opportunities waiting for you. Whether you can find and obtain those opportunities depends on your true abilities."
"Alright, I won't waste any more words."
"I hereby declare the Five Elements Mountain Trial open!"
With a wave of his hand, the white-robed elder opened the sealed gate to the secret realm.
Within the colossal gate, thousands of feet high, light and shadow danced, obscuring the view inside. But all the disciples participating in the trial, their hearts pounding with excitement, soared into the air, transforming into streaks of light as they flew towards the secret realm.
Bai Li Chang Kong took the lead, his sword energy whistling, and he instantly disappeared into the gate of the secret realm.
Shen Wenxin of the Supreme Forgetfulness Pavilion glanced at Gu Yan on the Jueqing Palace Immortal Ship, and then flew towards the gate of the secret realm with his junior brothers and sisters.
Tu Shanjiao, Kong Qing, and other powerful figures also entered the secret realm one by one.
Back at the Palace of Heartless Love, Xie Wan'er and Mulan looked at Gu Yan and Zhou Ting. Mulan said worriedly, "You two must be careful and not push yourselves."
Zhou Ting nodded.
The female disciples around Gu Yan looked at her, their faces revealing their shyness and admiration.
"Junior Sister Lin, you must be careful!"
"Junior Sister Lin, these are the pills I refined. Please take them with you."
"This talisman was given to me by my father to protect my life. Junior Sister Lin, you can take it."
After the female disciples learned that Gu Yan was a man, they had all secretly fallen for him, fearing that something might happen to him during the trial.
"Thank you all, senior sisters, but no need. The Palace Master has already given me something to save my life." Gu Yan clasped her hands in thanks.
Xue Mengqi, who was standing next to her, said, "Alright, Junior Sister Lin, we should go."
Gu Yan nodded.
Then Gu Yan, Zhou Ting, Xue Mengqi, Ji Yinghua, and Lü Wei transformed into five long rainbows and flew towards the gate of the secret realm.
Disciples who have participated in the Five Elements Mountain Trial once are not allowed to participate again. Each faction can only send five disciples.
As soon as Gu Yan made a move at the Palace of Heartless Love, Song Qi from the Wood Spirit Palace immediately chased after her and the others.
Lu Yan was filled with hatred, but she was only there to watch the spectacle and didn't even have the qualifications to enter the secret realm. She could only curse Lin Daiyu in her heart, wishing her great misfortune.
Song Qi wanted to pursue Gu Yan, but he failed.
Gu Yan rushed into the secret realm and disappeared.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

In the secret realm.
Majestic peaks rise abruptly from the ground, and dark clouds shroud the sky.
The mountains are steep and rugged, but not a blade of grass grows there.
In the sky, a "girl" dressed in white looked down at the earth below. This "girl," whose face was veiled, was none other than Gu Yan. Gu Yan spread her divine sense outwards but found neither Zhou Ting nor the others, nor anyone else present.
He thought to himself: So, as soon as I enter, I'll be teleported to a different area?
His divine sense covered the surroundings and he saw some hidden ferocious beasts, but he had no Five Elements Tokens and no special opportunities, so he transformed into a streak of rainbows and flew forward.
