Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

There is another mountain peak on the opposite side of the cliff, and the two peaks are connected only by an iron chain.

A number of people were already standing in the open space. Ye Yu looked into the distance and saw a man swaying as he walked forward on iron chains.

Shen Xing explained to everyone, "The Ding family lives in the back mountain, behind the mountain peak at the other end of the iron chain."

Shen Yunling asked, "Do we have to walk across the iron chains to get to the Ding family's house?"

"Yes, this is also part of the test for everyone, called 'Crossing the Cliff.' If we can't even get over the iron chains, then what's the point of the competition?"

Ye Yu looked in the direction of the Wu family and saw two people dressed in Miao ethnic costumes bowing as they led them onto the iron chain bridge.

She asked, "Isn't there a suspension bridge over there? Why are these people still walking on chains?"

Shen Congxing smiled wryly: "This is a privilege reserved for prominent families or major sects."

Ye Yu nodded: "No wonder."

She turned her gaze back to the chains, where the man struggling to walk had already gone more than halfway.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the valley, making him sway all over.

"Ah!" Shen Yunjin cried out in a panic.

It turned out that the man had been shaken by the iron chain and fallen. Fortunately, he had a rope tied between his waist and the chain, so he was only hanging in mid-air. Otherwise, he would probably have been completely destroyed if he had fallen.

Shen Yunling was a little scared. She grabbed Shen Congxing's arm and said, "Dad, it's so scary. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it."

Shen Congxing comforted her, "Yunling, don't be afraid. Didn't you practice similar things at home before? Just treat it like you're practicing at home. And I'll tie a rope around your waist, so even if you fall, I'll pull you up."

Hearing him say that, Shen Yunling barely managed to suppress her fear.

Shen Yunjin, who was standing to the side, was also frightened by what had just happened. Shen Xing comforted her, "Yunjin, don't be afraid. You've all practiced. There won't be any problems."

Zhang Xiangyu nudged Ye Yu with his hand: "Hey, are you scared? Those two practiced at home, but can you handle crossing the chains?"

Ye Yu glanced at him: "Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself."

Zhang Xiangyu said with some pride, "My grandpa and the others will be here soon, and I will walk across the suspension bridge with them."

Hearing him say that, Ye Yu gave him a speechless look: "What kind of luck do you have? But why can't your grandfather bring the Shen family across the suspension bridge?"

Zhang Xiangyu shrugged: "Even my grandfather and his family can only bring their direct descendants. And my younger brother will be coming along later too."

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow but did not answer him.

The man hanging on the chain struggled to climb up and continued walking along the chain using both his hands and feet.

After he finished walking, a man and a woman walked to the edge of the cliff. The man was tall and strong, while the woman was thin and short.

Instead of jumping onto the iron chains, they grabbed a rope made of some unknown material. The man grabbed the woman's arm, spun her around a few times, and threw her directly towards the mountain peak on the other side of the cliff.

The woman didn't reach the other side of the cliff in one go. Using her momentum, she stepped onto the iron chain and jumped to the other side with a burst of strength.

The rope was very elastic, and she immediately tied it to a thick tree. The man standing at one end suddenly jumped forward, and the rope pulled him directly to the middle of the chain.

Then, he staggered to the other side of the cliff.

"This person has incredible arm strength!"

Zhang Xiangyu was somewhat surprised, and Ye Yu was equally astonished.

After the two left, a man wearing sunglasses and earphones came out.

Shen Congxing was somewhat surprised: "The Zhao family? Why didn't he take the iron chain bridge, but instead came here to the iron chain?"

Shen Yunling asked, "Dad, do you know him?"

“Yes, at the leadership transition meeting five years ago, the Zhao family sent out two men and one woman. If I’m not mistaken, he should be Zhao Yuci, the third son of the Zhao family.”

Zhao Yuci lazily jumped onto the iron chain, his steps seemingly following the rhythm of the music he was listening to. He walked across the chain with ease, even turning around a few times along the way.

Ye Yu scoffed, "Show-off!"

Those around him watched him walk across the chains with ease and were filled with envy: "He's so strong! He crossed the chains so easily."

"What's so special about him? His older brother is the real deal."

"You mean Zhao Yuxuan? He's arguably the strongest of this generation!"

"Yes, he came out on top at the last leadership transition meeting. He's just turned 20 this year, so he has another chance. I wonder if he'll participate?"

"Sigh, if he participates, then this martial arts competition will be no fun at all."

Ye Yu overheard the discussion around her and asked, "Is this Zhao Yuxuan they're talking about really that powerful?"

Shen Congxing nodded: "In the last competition, he overpowered the younger generation and won first place. At that time, his cultivation level was already at the mid-stage of the Profound Rank. Now, five years have passed, and I guess he has improved a lot."

Ye Yu was shocked upon hearing this.

Those who attended the leadership transition meeting were all young people aged 20 and under. That is to say, Zhao Yuxuan was only 15 years old at the time, and he was already at the mid-stage of the Xuan rank.

So, after five years, he's probably reached the late stage of the Profound Rank, right? Or even the peak of the late stage of the Profound Rank?

People gradually crossed the chains, and Shen Congxing turned around and said, "Let's follow them."

He tied the rope around Shen Yunling's waist, and after she jumped onto the chain, he tied the other end of the rope to the chain.

With encouragement from the crowd, Shen Yunling carefully stepped onto the iron chain, and thankfully, she made it to the other side of the cliff without incident.

Next was Shen Yunjin. She was a little nervous and fell down after walking only halfway.

Shen Xingxian jumped down, carefully pulled her up, and then helped her walk over.

Shen Congxing turned to Ye Yu: "Ye Yu, you go ahead first."

Ye Yu stepped forward, and Shen Congxing offered her the rope, but she shook her head: "I don't need it."

Shen Congxing was somewhat surprised: "Why don't you just fasten it? It'll be safer that way."

Ye Yu smiled slightly: "I'll be fine, don't worry."

After saying that, she jumped down, lightly touched the iron chain with her toes, and flew over in a few swift movements.

The people on both sides of the cliff saw her leap across so lightly in just a few moments and immediately started talking about it.

"My God! Is that some kind of light-footed skill?"

"She flew so gracefully, and her posture was beautiful."

"Who is she from? Could she be from the Feng family?"

"It shouldn't be. Didn't you see that the Feng family hasn't made a move yet?"

"Could this be a dark horse? If so, this year will be very interesting."

"Hehe, I wonder who's stronger, her or Zhao Yuxuan from the Zhao family?"

"Of course, Zhao Yuxuan is definitely more powerful!"

"It's hard to say."

Zhao Yuci, who was standing aside waiting for the Zhao family, also took off her glasses in surprise and looked Ye Yu up and down.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Ye Yu crossed her arms, leaned against a tree, and waited for Shen Congxing to come over.
