Chapter 4

Sun Hao shook his head: "It's not that I'm completely fearless, but I have a way to reduce the influence of the Heaven-Repairing Disk on me."

After saying this, Sun Hao said to Xia Qingyu, "Xiao Yu, you rest for a bit. I'll go find Xiao Yun first, and then we'll go to that mountain together."

Xia Qingyu looked at the green mountain, her eyes brightening, and she nodded eagerly.

Sun Hao sat cross-legged again, focusing his mind, and soon felt a large halo of light. He reached out, stood up, and lunged forward, grabbing with both hands.

Xia Qingyu grabbed the hem of his clothes and followed him.

Gu Yun's condition was much worse than Xia Qingyu's. When he woke up in the illusionary array, seeing it was Sun Hao, he relaxed and fainted again.

Sun Hao patted Gu Yun's cheeks, "Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun, wake up, wake up, don't fall asleep."

Qing Lao hesitated.

Kick? Or not kick?

Gu Yun, now unconscious, was a candidate for being kicked out. In the Heaven-Repairing Disk, fainting usually meant "losing eligibility."

However, with Gu Yun lying in Sun Hao's arms, there was a chance to reach the second level of the illusionary array.

Qing Lao scanned Gu Yun's frail body again and thought, this child, with five spiritual roots, must have shown great perseverance to reach this point. Since he managed to hold on until Sun Hao came to his rescue, this could be his destiny and opportunity.

Forget it, forget it.

Qing Lao admitted that sometimes, miracles do happen in the Heaven-Repairing Disk.

About half an hour later, Sun Hao and the others arrived at the base of the mountain.

At the base of the mountain, looking back, everything was a vast white expanse. The mountain in front of them, with its winding and towering body, resembled a reclining dragon. The peak they faced was the dragon's head.

Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they encountered a celestial opportunity.

In front of them was a wooden box.

The box was ancient and elegant, with a green surface carved with a vivid dragon playing with a pearl.

Sun Hao looked at the wooden box and said, "Xiao Yu, should we give this opportunity to Xiao Yun?"

Xia Qingyu, who he thought would hesitate, agreed readily, "Yes, that's what I was thinking too."

Sun Hao helped Gu Yun approach the wooden box, picked up Gu Yun's hand, and with a bit of effort, opened the box.

A green light emerged from the box, rushed to Gu Yun's forehead, and disappeared in a flash.

In the hall, Qing Lao's divine sense stirred, and the unconscious Gu Yun appeared before everyone.

Qing Lao opened his eyes and calmly ordered, "Lan Lin Town disciple Gu Yun, has obtained a celestial opportunity."

At the city lord's gate, a child announced loudly, "Lan Lin Town's Gu Yun has obtained a celestial opportunity."

The news spread throughout the county instantly.

Cheers erupted from the Lan Lin Town accommodation.

After Gu Yun disappeared, Sun Hao and Xia Qingyu found a rock at the base of the mountain to rest for a moment.

The mountain in front of them, tall and majestic, was likely the second level of the Heaven-Repairing Disk trial.

How should they find the celestial opportunity?

Sun Hao pondered for a while and asked, "Xiao Yu, how do you think we should search?"

Xia Qingyu tilted her head, thinking for a moment, and then said cautiously, "Find a cave? Maybe there's a wooden box inside. Or jump off a cliff? Maybe we'll land on an ancient dragon."

Sun Hao... slowly said, "I think, besides the second level, there might be a third level."

Xia Qingyu was taken aback, "A third level? I've never heard of it."

Looking at the mountain, Sun Hao stood up suddenly, pointed at the towering peak, and said with a bold voice, "Xiao Yu, what do you think is on top of that mountain?"

Seeing the spirited Sun Hao, Xia Qingyu's eyes sparkled, "Great, let's climb to the top and see the view."

However, looking down at her small body, Xia Qingyu lowered her head and patted her little belly, "But I'm hungry now."

Sun Hao smiled faintly, "Wait a moment."

He sat cross-legged on the large rock again, practicing the Blazing Fire Technique and the Clear Heart Technique, quickly returning to a calm state.

Xia Qingyu watched Sun Hao with wide eyes.

Soon, Sun Hao, with his eyes closed, stood up slowly from the rock and pounced like a fierce tiger, extending his arm and grabbing with force.

As he grabbed, the space seemed to ripple like water, and his hand reached into the ripples, grabbing something.

A white rabbit struggled in his hand.

Sun Hao had caught the rabbit.

Xia Qingyu's eyes sparkled, thinking Sun Hao was truly amazing.

Seeing Sun Hao roasting the rabbit with the Blazing Fire Technique, Qing Lao was once again amazed. This boy had already overturned his understanding of the Heaven-Repairing Disk.

At that moment, he realized that since the Heaven-Repairing Disk could accommodate living beings, a few rabbits were quite normal.

After a while, when Qing Lao checked the Heaven-Repairing Disk again, he saw Xia Qingyu nibbling on the golden-brown roasted rabbit, her eyes sparkling, and looking at Sun Hao with admiration.

Sun Hao and Xia Qingyu, after eating and drinking their fill, sat down to rest and regain their energy. They then began to climb the mountain unhurriedly.

At this point, only they remained in the Heaven-Repairing Disk; all others, except Gu Yun, had been eliminated.

Climbing the mountain, they walked through a vast forest, surrounded by trees and traces of animals. Sun Hao even discovered many rare herbs that were uncommon in the secular world.

There was no path on the mountain, and they had to clear their own way through the dense undergrowth.

Sun Hao led the way with a thick branch.

Xia Qingyu followed behind, carefully observing the surroundings. After climbing about a mile, she gently pulled Sun Hao and pointed to the side, "Brother Hao, look, there's a cave over there. Maybe it's a celestial opportunity."

Following Xia Qingyu's finger, Sun Hao saw a dark cave under a protruding rock.

Xia Qingyu was already excited, "Brother Hao, let's go check it out."

Seeing the enthusiastic girl, Sun Hao had a thought. "No, the second level should have more tests. How could we get a celestial opportunity so easily?"

"Wait, Xiao Yu, don't you find it strange?" Sun Hao held back the eager Xia Qingyu.

Xia Qingyu turned her head, puzzled, "What's strange?"

Sun Hao paused, then said, "If the cave has a celestial opportunity, why do we need to climb the mountain?"

Xia Qingyu's big eyes twinkled, "But Grandpa said they used to get celestial opportunities this way."

Sun Hao countered, "Did they pass the second level of the Heaven-Repairing Disk?"

Xia Qingyu's eyes lit up, and she quickly understood Sun Hao's point, "Brother Hao, you mean this cave is a temptation? Brother Hao, you're so smart, I almost fell for it."

Xia Qingyu's face showed admiration, and she patted her chest, looking relieved.

This second test was likely about perseverance, testing whether cultivators had the determination to reach the peak and the spirit to forge ahead bravely.

If they couldn't resist the temptation, their journey would end at the cave.

Sun Hao believed that the opportunities obtained by stopping here might only allow them to struggle at the bottom of the cultivation world.

The easily obtained opportunities were a great temptation for the children eager to find celestial opportunities. Who could resist? Sun Hao realized that such a trial might be the most terrifying.

Understanding this, Sun Hao's mind became clear, and he looked ahead with determination, saying to Xia Qingyu, "Let's go, we'll keep climbing. We won't stop until we reach the top. We won't give up until we reach the top."

Xia Qingyu clenched her fist and cheered behind Sun Hao, "Go, Brother, go, Xiao Yu."

The two set off again, starting to climb the mountain.

The summit was still far away, but along the way, there were many caves and cliffs. Xia Qingyu even found an ancient wooden box, which looked more advanced than the one Gu Yun had found.

The direction was clear: up. The goal was the summit. The action was to climb.

Overcoming all temptations, they climbed.

Time passed slowly. There was no change in the sky within the Heaven-Repairing Disk, but outside, a whole day had passed, and it was the second morning.

The Qingmu Sect cultivators were surprised to see the Heaven-Repairing Disk still spinning, indicating that there were still children inside.

Disciple trials had been conducted many times over the years, but it was rare for someone to last two days. This was truly extraordinary.

Qing Lao's face remained calm, his eyes closed as if in meditation.

His fellow disciples looked at each other, amazed, and wondered how long the two children could last.

Inside the Heaven-Repairing Disk, after fighting a pack of eight wolves, the two were out of breath, resting against a tree. Their condition was not good. One of the wolves, a cunning and fierce one, had suddenly appeared from the forest, lunging at Xia Qingyu and nearly biting her neck.

At the critical moment, Sun Hao, despite injuring his arm, killed the wolf just as it was about to bite Xia Qingyu.

Xia Qingyu's face was still pale, her heart racing. Seeing Sun Hao's arm bleeding, she felt grateful. If not for Sun Hao, she would have been seriously injured or worse.

Seeing Sun Hao wincing in pain, sweat on his forehead, Xia Qingyu's eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed, "Brother Hao," then hugged Sun Hao's waist.

She clearly looked scared.

Sun Hao, after treating his wound, bit a clean piece of cloth and bandaged it with his other hand. He then patted Xia Qingyu's shoulder, "Xiao Yu, I noticed that these wolves don't behave like normal wolves..."

Xia Qingyu began to admire Sun Hao again, as she didn't know these things.

Sun Hao's eyes sparkled, "I also noticed that a celestial opportunity always appears before the wolves. This means we can get a celestial opportunity at any time."

Xia Qingyu's eyes lit up, "Brother Hao, what should we do now? Keep climbing?"

Sun Hao laughed, "Of course, if I'm right, the current trial is about strength and courage."

The wolves were also a trial? Xia Qingyu immediately understood, but even knowing this, she was still nervous.

Sun Hao, sensing her thoughts, reassured her, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu, trust me, we can pass this."

Sun Hao believed that the trials in the Heaven-Repairing Disk would not exceed their limits and would not be insurmountable.

Moreover, the trials could be overcome with wisdom.

With renewed spirit, Xia Qingyu continued climbing.

After climbing about two miles, they noticed something unusual, so they rested and adjusted their state. Sun Hao carefully chose a favorable position and explained the battle plan to Xia Qingyu.

They easily overcame the next pack of eight wolves.

After killing the last wolf, the little girl hugged Sun Hao and kissed his cheek, "Brother Hao, you're so amazing."

Sun Hao's face turned red.

Under Sun Hao's command, they made steady progress.

This climb lasted five days.

In the hall, the immortals were already numb, wondering how the two children could persist.

The two finally reached the summit.

Looking up, the green rocks seemed to touch the clouds, and the vast green mountains were in sight.

On a wide open area, a large green cliff lay on the summit. They climbed the cliff and found a three-zhang platform at the top, with a rock standing straight like a pen pointing to the sky.

Looking down at the lush forest and the conquered mountain, Sun Hao opened his mouth and shouted loudly, "Ah, ah..."

Xia Qingyu joined in, "Ah, ah, ah..."

After venting, they quickly found a wooden box at the corner of the green cliff platform.

The treasure box seemed to have a spirit. Soon, it opened on its own, and a blue light emerged, a beam of light flashing out as if trying to escape.

Sun Hao shouted, "Xiao Yu, quick, grab it."

Xia Qingyu, used to following Sun Hao's commands, didn't hesitate and grabbed the escaping light with her small hand.

The light was quickly enveloped by a blue glow, covering Xia Qingyu's entire body in an instant.

Xia Qingyu looked bewildered, calling out, "Brother Hao..."

Before she could say more, her body stiffened and she fell to the ground.

Sun Hao, quick to react, caught Xia Qingyu.

The little girl's body was covered in a layer of blue ice, and her eyes were closed, her condition unknown.

In the hall, Qing Lao stood up abruptly, his usually expressionless face showing shock. His mind was in turmoil as he received the startling news from the Heaven-Repairing Disk: "The Celestial Opportunity Heaven-Repairing Pill has emerged, the trial disciple has awakened the Ice Muscle Jade Bone Body, and the three spiritual roots have merged, forming the Sacred Ice Spiritual Root."

Ice Muscle Jade Bone Body! Sacred Ice Spiritual Root!

This was a major win.
