Chapter 962

Lin Qi looked at the large blue screen, which contained the message content sent by his teacher, Lei Zun.

So he immediately contacted the other party.

A moment later, the majestic face of his teacher, Lei Zun, appeared on the other side.

"Lin Qi, get yourself ready."

"In about three days, Sovereign Kongming will come to visit."

"Your trial is about to begin."

Lin Qi's expression also became serious:

"I understand."

After closing the large screen, Lin Qi also let out a breath.

"It's finally coming!"

Sovereign Kongming came even later than he had imagined.

But it was also fine; after all, less than a hundred years had passed.

If the trial didn't come for a few hundred years, that would have been a bit too late.

It was better that it came early, so he could cultivate according to the content of the trial.

However, whenever it came, it wouldn't affect his cultivation.

The final result would be the same.

……

Two days later

"Whoosh!"

A tall figure appeared at the entrance of the Tianhai Residence.

As the metal gate slid open silently, Lin Qi, wearing a black robe, looked at the person coming to the door.

The other party wore a dark green robe, had handsome features, and possessed a pair of silver pupils like diamonds; he appeared accompanied by a light breeze.

Vigorous vitality radiated from him.

He was precisely the Sixth Realm existence of the universe he had met once before—Sovereign Kongming!

At the same time, he was also the disciple of the Deep Space Academy Master.

"Member Lin Qi, we meet again."

Sovereign Kongming greeted him; his voice was crisp and full, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Lin Qi also smiled: "Sovereign Kongming, welcome."

He invited Sovereign Kongming inside; this was the second time the entire Tianhai Residence had hosted a Sovereign.

Sovereign Kongming walked into the manor and saw at a glance the Star-Swallowing Beast, Xiaotian, sleeping in the garden; he sighed:

"Lin Qi, you have good luck."

"To actually possess a pet with such talent."

"In the future, breaking through to become a Sovereign is also very hopeful."

"Even for a Sovereign, it is very tempting."

Then he saw the Void Tree, which had grown to 3 meters tall and was 20 centimeters thick.

"In our Primordial Sacred Land, there are quite a few members who plant Void Trees."

"But very few can fully grow them."

"The nutrients required for it are quite significant."

"Your Void Tree is growing very well; if you pair it with some special heavenly treasures, it is estimated that it will grow even faster."

"If you can become my junior fellow apprentice, I will have a gift for you."

Lin Qi smiled: "Then I will wait for the senior's gift."

Sovereign Kongming smiled: "It seems you are very confident in yourself."

"Do you think you can pass the trial and become my junior fellow apprentice?"

The two came to the villa and sat on the soft sofa.

Xiao Chan, wearing blue clothes, brought over the hot tea that had already been brewed.

She poured a cup for Sovereign Kongming.

"Senior, please taste our Blue Star's beverage—tea!" Lin Qi handed over the teacup.

Sovereign Kongming looked at the hot tea, and a rich, refreshing fragrance hit his nose.

He picked it up and took a small sip.

"Not bad!"

"A very unique taste; although I have drunk similar beverages, in terms of charm, they still cannot compare to your tea leaves."

"I have also heard that throughout the entire Sacred Land, many core members have already grown fond of drinking tea."

Lin Qi smiled and took a sip as well:

"If senior likes it, you can take a few jin back; I have tea leaves with different flavors here."

Sovereign Kongming smiled: "Then I won't be polite."

He took another sip of tea, his expression becoming serious:

"Member Lin Qi, I believe you already know the goal of my visit today."

"Then I won't waste words."

"According to the rules of our Primordial Sacred Land, which have spread to other Supreme forces."

"This rule was also established by the Master of our Primordial Sacred Land; every legendary-level genius."

"Has the opportunity to take a Supreme existence as their teacher."

"Among them, every Supreme will have their own trial, with varying levels of difficulty."

"And the difficulty of the trial of my teacher, the Deep Space Academy Master, is almost the highest among all Supreme existences."

"In the last million years, in our Primordial Sacred Land, a total of 10 legendary-level geniuses participated in the trial, and in the end, only Yan Zun passed the trial."

Lin Qi's expression also became serious:

"I understand."

Sovereign Kongming put down the teacup and said seriously:

"Very good, Member Lin Qi!"

"I officially notify you: 'Your trial has officially begun.'"

"No, it should be said that your trial already began when you were born."

"Within 5000 years, you need to achieve the content of the trial."

"According to your cultivation age, you have already cultivated for 1125 years."

"You now only have 3875 years left to pass all the trials."

Lin Qi frowned; it was actually time calculated from birth.

And he only had less than 4000 years left.

Not to mention reaching it, this time was still very long.

After all, he felt that a thousand years was already very long.

However, out of 10 legendary-level geniuses, only Yan Zun passed the trial; from this, one could see the difficulty.

Sovereign Kongming continued:

"The trial content is divided into several items; only when you complete one item will you proceed to the next."

"And these trials must all be completed within the specified time."

"And if you cannot complete one of the trials, you will not be able to proceed to the next trial."

"And the first trial is the Bridge of Dreams."

Lin Qi said after hearing this: "Bridge of Dreams?"

Sovereign Kongming nodded:

"That's right, the Bridge of Dreams!"

"Zhiqiao of Dreams tests a genius's mental willpower."

"Ordinary geniuses, as long as they pass 90 levels, it means they can break through to the Fifth Realm of the universe."

"But the goal for a legendary-level genius is even higher."

"You need to clear the Bridge of Dreams within the specified time; passing 100 levels counts as completing the trial."

Lin Qi's expression changed slightly after hearing this; he remembered that among all current Fourth Realm existences of the universe, it seemed there were not many who could pass the Bridge of Dreams.

There might not even be one.

"This is not a simple trial."

"Many legendary-level geniuses have been stuck at this level."

"Many legendary-level geniuses possess top-tier talent, and their cultivation path is smooth sailing."

"Almost none have had any major setbacks, so willpower is their weak point."

"However, because they possess mental power and comprehension of laws, they don't need very strong willpower to pass many levels of the Bridge of Dreams."

"But starting from level 90, the role of mental power and laws will decline infinitely, and the requirement for willpower will become higher."

"Many legendary-level geniuses have had to spend thousands of years honing their willpower."

"In the end, they barely passed, only to find that time was not enough."

"I remind you that the average passing time for the Bridge of Dreams has taken 2000 years."

"Member Lin Qi, you have to work hard."

"When you successfully pass the trial of the Bridge of Dreams, I will come to find you again and provide you with the trial content for the next level."

After speaking, Sovereign Kongming's empty teacup was already refilled.

He took the last sip of tea and said:

"Work hard, Lin Qi; your willpower has always been good."

"I feel that you might spend less time."

After speaking, he stood up and said:

"Alright, thank you for your hospitality."

"I won't disturb you anymore."

"From now on, every minute and every second of yours is very critical."

Lin Qi also stood up: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

Then Xiao Chan in blue clothes handed a jar of tea leaves to Sovereign Kongming, who accepted it with a smile, and after Lin Qi saw him to the door.

"Whoosh!"

He turned into a streak of dark green light and shot into the sky.

Lin Qi watched him disappear, and a screen immediately popped up in front of him.

【Member Lin Qi, you have officially begun to accept the trial of the Supreme existence; you have 3875 years left.】

【The countdown has officially begun!】

【The first trial is to clear the Bridge of Dreams; Member Lin Qi, good luck!】

……

Lin Qi looked at the popped-up information and nodded secretly.

The trial had officially begun!

He began to think; he was currently at level 81 of the Bridge of Dreams, and if he wanted to pass, he needed to pass 20 levels.

But that was from a long time ago.
