Xian Wang Dotes On Wife - Chapter 83.2

Chapter 83.2

Gong Sang Mo tosses up the stone in his hand before saying, “If one person passes through right after another, the walls will remain open longer . ”

Yun Qian Yu’s eyes light up .   Even a second longer will bring a huge difference to them .

She looks at Gong Sang Mo in admiration; no wonder his nickname is ‘fox’ .   He is indeed smart .

Gong Sang Mo calmly accepts Yun Qian Yu’s admiring gaze .   He stoops down and throws the stone to the jadeite pathway .   Just as the walls are about to close down, he throws another stone, causing it to reopen and close, one more second slower than the time it previously took .

Both of them are ecstatic .

However, Gong Sang Mo is still not satisfied .   He throws another stone and when the walls retreat, he throws another one causing the walls to close down once again .

Yun Qian Yu is so happy that she does not know how control her emotions .

This means that they will be able to buy themselves three more seconds .   The time it will take for the walls to close will increase from 9 seconds to 12 seconds .

The problem right now is how to transport the two eagles .

After discussing between themselves, Gong Sang Mo and Yun Qian Yu turn to the eagles, “Later, Yu Er and I will help move you two out .   Close your wings and do not move .   Do you understand me?”

The male eagle nods .   He hooted to his companion, seemingly saying something .   After that, the female eagle seems to understand as well .

The two of them starts preparing, gauging the weights of the eagles .

The male eagle perches in front of the pathway .   Gong Sang Mo throws a stone and uses his inner power to pushe the eagle along with Yun Qian Yu the moment the walls open .

The male eagle glides along the jadeite pathway, escaping it just as the walls clasp back together .

He excitedly flies up and dances in the air in gratitude .

The female eagle is overjoyed that her partner is saved .

Her turn comes next .

When she is safe on the other side, only Gong Sang Mo and Yun Qian Yu are left .

Gong Sang Mo looks at Yun Qian Yu, “You first . ”

Yun Qian Yu shakes her head .   She knows what Gong Sang Mo is intending to do .   He wants her to go first so that he can help boost her from behind .   However, their inner power is very precious right now .   They cannot afford to waste it any longer .  

 However, Gong Sang Mo is also adamant to stay behind .   He would never leave first and leave Yun Qian Yu by herself .

Yun Qian Yu knows that Gong Sang Mo will not budge, so she retreats a step, “Fine, I will go first .   But, you cannot use your inner power to support me . ”

Gong Sang Mo looks at Yun Qian Yu for a long while, “Alright . ”

There are four stones in Gong Sang Mo’s hands right now .   Yun Qian Yu takes two, “I will throw them myself . ”

Gong Sang Mo does not object to them; it does not matter who throws them .

Yun Qian Yu throws the first stone .   Just as she throws the second stone, she uses her other hand to press Gong Sang Mo’s acupuncture point .   Then, she uses her inner power to catapults herself to the other side .

As she flies, she leaves Gong Sang Mo a parting word, “Sang Mo, your acupuncture point will automatically be unlocked after 10 seconds . ”

Gong Sang Mo did not think that Yun Qian Yu would do that .   He could only watch her anxiously .

Yun Qian Yu uses her entire energy to fly through the pathway .   Just as she is about to reach the end of the tunnel, she slips on one of the stones that they threw .   She falls forward .   The walls start closing down .

Gong Sang Mo, who can only watch, immediately sees red .

Just as the walls are about to close down on her, one of the eagles cleverly drags her out by biting her in the arm .   The very second Yun Qian Yu leaves the tunnel, the walls closes down .

At that moment, Gong Sang Mo’s acupuncture point is relieved .   Without even waiting, he throws a stone and rushes to follow Yun Qian Yu .   His speed is downright mindblowing .

Yun Qian Yu who did not even get to sit down quickly turns to him, “Had I known you would be that fast, I would’ve asked you to carry me over . ”

Gong Sang Mo turns around and finds the walls closing down behind them .   His speed was only due to his worry and anger .

Yun Qian Yu gets up, her arm that got bitten throbbing miserably .

The male eagle is anxious as well; Yun Qian Yu’s arm must be bruising really badly right now .

When Gong Sang Mo sees her grimacing, all his previous anger immediately disappears .   He pulls open her sleeve, revealing her bruised arm .   He glares at her in exasperation .

“It hurts,” whines Yun Qian Yu daintily .

This is the first time she has ever acted this delicately .

Gong Sang Mo is immediately mollycoddled by her sweetness, his anger immediately disappearing .

He helps massage the bruised part, “I will massage it for you, bear with me for a while . ”

To tell the truth, the pain is nothing for Yun Qian Yu .   However, it is heartwarming to see someone treating her with so much care .

The male eagle lowers his head in regret when he sees that mark on Yun Qian Yu’s arm .

Yun Qian Yu pats his wings comfortingly, “Thank you for saving me . ”

The eagle immediately looks at her with sparkling eyes .

Gong Sang Mo rubs her arm for a long time before finally stopping, “This is what you get for showing off . ”

Yun Qian Yu smiles while clicking her tongue .   She points at the pathway in front of them, “We have no idea how much time we have left, we should go . ”

“That will be the only time, alright . ”

“En . ”  Yun Qian Yu knows that he is referring to her pressing his acupuncture point and putting herself in danger .   Never mind him, even she regrets her action .

Both of them bow in front of the three Seniors .   Since they cannot retrieve their remains for them, they can only show respect .

Gong Sang Mo holds Yun Qian Yu’s hand as he drags her to the pathway .

The pathway is really long .   By now, both of them have regained around 2 layers of inner power, so they are not as nervous anymore .

They reach an exit not long later .   Both of them are shocked .   What sort of test is this?  Medicinal test?

The entire cave is filled with flowers and herbs .   Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo are both good at medicine, so they naturally know that these herbs are all precious and rare .

They stand there frozen .   There is a stone table in the middle of the cave .

There is a jade box on top of the table, along with mortar and pestle .

They exchange a look before walking towards the table .

The box is not locked, so Gong Sang Mo is able to pry the lid open .   A silk brocade sits prettily inside the box .

Gong Sang Mo picks it up and spreads it open .   The silk is actually a letter!

‘Child, reading this letter means that you have passed the previous tests .   Everyone actually has something called a ‘heavenly pulse’ within us .   Once you unlock it, you will be able to connect and align your dantian .   You will be able to achieve your every desire magnificently .   The first two tests were in order to exhaust your inner power .   The third test will enable you to regain you inner power to prepare you for the last test .   You will need to use your inner power to unlock the matrix formation in the last test .   Have you seen the flowers around?  There are 36 different flowers and herbs in this cave .   You must take equal amount of each and refine them to turn them into a pill .   You will eat it at the very last stage .   At the stone platform at the end of the test, you will need to re-cultivate Xue Lian Han Gong once again .   Child, if your Xue Lian Han Gong has reached the ninth level, congratulation .   You are successful .   There will be a time limit for this test .   These flowers cannot be exposed to air for long .   I have organized everything such that all the exits and entrance  will be closed every 6 hours .   You will not be able to breath .   Be mindful .   If you cannot leave within the time limit, you will not be able to leave this place alive . ’

Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo drinks in every words .   This trial is just like the trial in Tian En Temple; only the worthy can leave alive .   Once successful, the boons that you get will be tenfold .

Gong Sang Mo puts the silk back to the box .   Then, he drags Yun Qian Yu towards the flowers and herbs .

No one has managed to enter this cave for the past 100 years since it was built, Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo are the first ones .   The plants have grown wildly all over the place .

The two of them divide the task .   Each of them picks herbs from different sides, picking two of everything .   Then, they bring everything back to the table .

However, the mortar and pestle are not big enough to accommodate all the herbs and flowers .

Gong Sang Mo points at the jade box, eliciting a laugh from Yun Qian Yu .

They place the herbs inside the mortar .   Gong Sang Mo tries to pick the mortar up, but it refuses to budge even after he uses force .   Only then do they realize that the mortar and pestle are part of the table itself .

They understand the Senior Ancestor’s worry .   He didn’t want greedy people to take the mortar and pestle away, causing people after them to have nothing to crush the herbs with .  

They don’t linger much on it and immediately begins working .   They begin grinding, and when the mortar seems to be unable to take more, they begin crushing the herbs using the jade box, having put aside the letter beforehand .  

Both of them are very quick and efficient and before long, all 36 types of herbs and flowers have been crushed .

At that very moment, they begin hearing the sounds of the doors booming .

Gong Sang Mo immediately channels his inner power and combines the pastes together .   Yun Qian Yu helps him out and refines the mixed paste into two pills .

Gong Sang Mo then puts the letter back to the box, for the next lucky people to read .

Then, they call the two eagles and rush out .

The moment they step out of the cave, the exit is sealed .

Both of them sigh in relief .

That’s why the three-days limit exists .   The pill can only be refined every six hours, once a person fails, the chance for them to leave is gone .   If one fails, they will be locked inside the cave to die .

The limit is set to prepare the trial-takers .

The two of them walk along the passageway while holding hands .

They both know the most important thing is waiting for them now .

The cave floor suddenly turns into stone steps .   They climb it up .

After climbing for what feels like 10 storeys up, they finally reach the exit .   They climb out into the open air .

This is the first time Yun Qian Yu learns to appreciate the cold, fresh air . “Sang Mo, if any other disciples want to try this out next, tell them to do it in the summer . ”

“Sure, not everyone will be as lucky as us,” Gong Sang Mo looks at the two eagles following them .

Yun Qian Yu hugs herself, “I wonder where our outer robes fell . ”

Gong Sang Mo draws her against his chest to block her from the cold air .

When the two eagles hear her, they exchange a look before flying up in the air, looking for their robes .

Gong Sang Mo smiles, “Sometimes, animals are more compassionate than human . ”

“True,” laughs Yun Qian Yu as she looks at the two giant white silhouettes in the air .

Gong Sang Mo checks their whereabout and discovers that they have gone around the giant stone arrays right to the opposite of where they had begun .   The sun is high up in the air .   It must be the noon of the third day .

Right in front of them is a twenty-metres round platform made of jade .   There are 8 stone pillars circling on top of the platform while one is erected right in the middle of it .   Snow lotuses are engraved on the pillars .

This must be the stone platform mentioned in Senior Ancestor’s letter .

“This is a matrix formation,” Gong Sang Mo is better at reading matrix formation than Yun Qian Yu .

Yun Qian Yu can see that this is a cohesive array .   This is generally used in battles when you are trying to ambush your enemies .   This array will unite your inner power together .

“Let’s begin,” suggests Gong Sang Mo .

“Alright,” Yun Qian Yu is eager to cultivate Zi Yu Xin Jing .   She wants to know how much breakthrough she has made .

Both of them steps onto the platform and sits cross-legged .

Yun Qian Yu shudders against the cold .

Gong Sang Mo frowns, “Will you be able to take it?  Let’s wait for the eagles to return first . ”

She shakes her head, “No need .   It won’t be cold once I start cultivating . ”

Both of them channel their inner power into the ninth pillar in the middle .   They can feel the cohesive array beginning it’s work .

Yun Qian Yu takes out the two pills and hands one to Gong Sang Mo .  

They both swallow the pills .

The pills taste very fresh and clean .   The moment they swallow it, they can feel it beginning to work from inside their bodies .   A burst of heat can be felt inside their stomachs and is emitted throughout their bodies, right into their heads .

Is this what the Senior Ancestor meant by unlocking the heavenly pulse?  Neither of them resists the effect of the pills and simply embraces it .

Yun Qian Yu feels as though a door has been opened from her head .   Her head feels clear and she feels like she is floating midair .

The heat gradually settles down and enters their dantians, slowing opening their heavenly pulses .

Yun Qian Yu immediately enters the world of cultivation .

This is their second time cultivating from scratch .   No one cultivates as frequently as these two out there .

Since both of them have experienced Tian En Temple, both of them finished really fast .

If someone were to look at them from outside, they would see their temperaments and airs changing very rapidly .

By now, both eagles have found Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo’s coats .   Each of them is carrying one .

However, since the cohesive array is going on, there is a protective circle around the stone platform .   The array not only unites the cultivator’s inner power, it also protects them from outside influence .   As long as Gong Sang Mo and Yun Qian Yu are not finished, no one can get near them .

The two eagles can only wait outside .

At the same time, a small crowd has gathered at the peak of the mountain .

Sheng Xue Tian Zun has been waiting there for three days without eating or drinking .

The Three Elders are also there .

Su Huai Feng, who originally needs to leave the mountain today decides to wait for his Senior Uncle with the rest of the people .   Seeing the completion of Xue Lian Han Gong is an event that might only occur once every 100 years .

Feng Ran and Ji Shu Liu are also there .

The sun slowly falls to the west, causing the people’s hearts to sink with it .   By the time the sun is about to set, their hearts sink to the bottom of their stomachs .

No one speaks up .   No one is willing to acknowledge that the two people will never leave the trial alive .

At that moment, an unknown force can suddenly be felt from the bottom of the cliff .   Everyone is excited .   Sheng Xue Tian Zun stops meditating and stands up, looking at the bottom of the cliff .
