Creation of the Universe

Tang Muqing had heard of the great name of Xuan Jinmen along the way, but she never expected that the disciple of Xuan Jinmen in front of her would be such a frivolous and rude person.

This greatly reduced her good impression of Xuan Jinmen. With such an arrogant and domineering disciple, it was obviously not a famous and upright sect.

Tang Muqing was so angry that she stepped forward and said, "We have to try it to know whether it works or not!"

Several Xuanjinmen disciples present saw that Tang Muqing was just a thin and weak girl, so they all started to laugh at her.

"Girl, please stop making trouble. If even you can do this, doesn't that mean those people just now are not as good as a weak woman like you?"

A disciple from a certain sect who had just failed immediately echoed this after hearing this: "Exactly. Breaking this piece of gold is not as easy as you think. You'd better retreat immediately and avoid making a fool of yourself."

"I just don't believe it."

After Tang Muqing finished speaking, a spiritual power suddenly gathered in her palm, ready to strike directly at the gold in front of her.

But at this moment, a burly man suddenly appeared from behind her and pushed her away.

"Get out of the way, let me do it."

The man had a thick beard and a dark complexion. His huge figure stood among the crowd like a black iron tower, which attracted many curious glances.

"You're just a little girl, what's the point of making such a fuss? Look at me!"

He taunted gruffly, then clenched his fist and smashed it down with a powerful force.

There was a loud "bang", and the gold didn't move at all, but his hands turned red from the shock, and he felt numb almost instantly.

The man's face flushed, wondering what was going on with this piece of gold and why it was so hard?

He was unwilling to be defeated and leave like this, so he gathered all his strength again and punched the gold hard. If he had used such force under normal circumstances, the gold would have been deformed and dented, but now it was still useless.

"This...what's going on? Is what you took out really gold?"

The man raised such a question.

A Xuanjin Sect disciple sneered and replied, "Of course it's gold. If you don't believe me, you can verify it at will. You can't say it's a problem with the gold just because you're not well-trained, right?"

What he said shows that he is completely fearless and it doesn't matter how others verify it.

However, it is true that this gold is special, because it is a piece of gold that has been tempered countless times by fire in a sword-making furnace. A lot of pig iron has been mixed into it, which has enhanced its hardness. There are also many spiritual weapons lingering in it, which makes it impossible for ordinary people to destroy it.

Seeing that even this big and aggressive man couldn't do it, Tang Muqing suddenly lost confidence.

The Xuanjin Sect disciple deliberately asked provocatively, "Well, little girl, are you still stubborn after all this?"

"I......"

"Actually, you don't have to go through so much trouble. There's another way to enter Sword Forging City. That's if each of you hands over five spirit crystals, and we'll let you in."

Five spirit crystals!

That’s twenty-five thousand spirit stones!

"Why don't you just rob it!"

Dong Ping cursed indignantly.

Others were equally indignant. They had come thousands of miles to participate in the trial conference, but were harassed so harshly at the gate of Sword Forging City. Xuan Jinmen was simply lawless and too much of a bully.

But no matter how angry they were, they had no way to deal with Xuan Jinmen. After all, this trial conference was held in Zhujian City, which was Xuan Jinmen's territory. If they wanted to do anything, they could do it, and no one could stop them.

Tang Muqing began to retreat. She felt that she couldn't do it either. But the words had already been spoken. If she just avoided it, wouldn't it bring shame to Wuya Taoist Academy?

"We, the four of us from Wuya Daoyuan, are willing to accept this challenge. It's not that we can't afford the spirit crystals, but the challenge you set is simply too simple. It's effortless for us."

The person who spoke at this time was Shen Zhan.

He stood behind Tang Muqing and said in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, "Just go for it. I promise it will go through smoothly."

With Shen Zhan's support, Tang Muqing suddenly gained confidence. She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she just needed to trust Shen Zhan unconditionally.

So, Tang Muqing condensed the spiritual power in his palm again, then gathered it to one point and hit it out heavily.

This palm strike on the gold did not seem to cause much noise. The disciples of Xuanjinmen had already begun to grin and laugh, but when Tang Muqing moved her palm away from the gold, they were all stunned.

This piece of gold, which had been destroyed by various means without leaving any trace, was actually cracked into a huge crack by Tang Muqing's attack. It was clearly visible and amazing.

Even Tang Muqing was shocked, but she immediately thought that it was Shen Zhan behind her who helped her, so it was natural that it had such power.

"Well, I told you it wasn't difficult at all."

The corners of Shen Zhan's lips curled up slightly, and the disciples of Xuanjinmen were suddenly speechless.

Then, it was Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping's turn to take action. Without exception, they caused huge damage to the gold. So many people present saw it and couldn't help but cheer for them.

"What sect did they just say they were from?"

"It seems to be called Wuya Daoyuan. I haven't heard of it before!"

"No, no, Wuya Daoyuan has a great reputation, but I've always heard that they are only good at cultivating their minds, not martial arts. How come just one of their disciples today defeated so many people from other sects?"

Just now, Shen Zhan deliberately revealed the identity of Wuya Taoist Temple in order to let everyone present remember this name, and also to help Wuya Taoist Temple improve its reputation in the world.

Now only Shen Zhan is left.

He smiled and asked the Xuanjinmen disciples, "Look, do I still need to take action?"

The other party gritted his teeth and said unconvincedly, "Of course, this is the rule. As long as one person fails, they have to leave here. You can't get in just because others in the same sect have passed. There's no such thing as that!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound. Shen Zhan just flicked the gold with his finger, and the gold that was tempered to be indestructible actually broke into pieces until it was shattered into powder in front of everyone.

The disciples of Xuanjinmen were stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Shen Zhan strode with his head held high, pushed aside those who were in the way, and walked into the Sword-Forging City with Tang Muqing and the other two as if strolling in the garden.
