I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 110: Tower of Babel Challenge

He knew that this was just the beginning of the road of trial, and that more dangers and challenges were waiting for him in the future.

At that moment, he felt a warm presence from afar, like a pair of gentle hands caressing his cheeks. A voice echoed in his ears: "Xiaoyao, be careful..." Ren Xiaoyao wiped the blood from his face. The familiar voice echoed in his ears, and a warmth welled up in his heart. He knew it was Xia Lin praying for him from afar, offering him encouragement and support in her own unique way. Although they were thousands of miles apart, their hearts were always connected.

He took a deep breath and continued forward. Yunmeng Lake was fraught with danger, but the scenery was also exceptionally beautiful. Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Clear streams meandered through the valley, emitting a melodious sound. Various exotic flowers and plants dotted the mountains, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

However, Ren Xiaoyao had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. His nerves were always tense, and he was vigilantly observing the surrounding environment. He knew that danger could appear at any time.

"Brother, seeing that you have extraordinary skills, I believe you are also here to participate in the Immortal Gate Trial, right?"

A hearty voice came from behind. Ren Xiaoyao turned around and saw a burly young man looking at him with a smile.

The young man's name was Li Hao, a casual cultivator. He was a generous and righteous man, and his strength should not be underestimated. The two hit it off immediately and soon became engaged in a lively conversation.

"Brother Li, is this also your first time participating in the Immortal Gate Trial?" Ren Xiaoyao asked.

"Yes, I heard that this trial is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you can lose your life." Li Hao said, "However, I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and reach our final destination."

"You're right!" Ren Xiaoyao nodded, "Let's work hard together!"

Along the way, they met several like-minded trial-takers. Some were disciples from famous sects, and some were independent cultivators like Li Hao, but they all had a common goal, which was to pass the immortal sect trial and become a true immortal cultivator.

They decided to join forces and face the challenge together. Along the way, they helped and supported each other, overcoming all kinds of hardships and dangers together. They fought side by side, slaying monsters, deciphering traps, and overcoming numerous difficulties, finally reaching the final stage of the Road of Trials - the Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel towers into the clouds, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. Its closed gate, inscribed with intricate runes and emitting a faint golden glow, seems to silently speak of its majesty.

"Is this the Tower of Babel? It looks so majestic!" Li Hao exclaimed.

"Yeah, I don't know how we can open this door." said another trial-taker.

Just as everyone was discussing, an old voice suddenly sounded in their ears:

"If you want to enter the Tower of Babel, you must pass my test."

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see an old man in a purple Taoist robe appear in front of them at some point.

The old man's hair and beard were white, but he looked vigorous, his eyes piercing, as if he could see through everything. He clasped his hands behind his back, exuding an air of authority. He was none other than Zi Yang Zhenren, an elder of the Yunmeng Immortal Sect, responsible for overseeing and judging this trial. He stroked his graying beard, his sharp gaze sweeping across the group of participants, finally resting on Ren Xiaoyao.

"If you want to enter the Tower of Babel, you must pass my test." Zi Yang Zhenren's voice was loud and clear, with an unquestionable majesty. "The content of the test is simple. Once you reach the top of the tower, you will pass."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The tower stretched to the horizon, so how could they possibly climb it? Just as everyone was puzzled, the tower suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Their vision blurred, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a space shrouded in mist.

"This illusionary trial will test your will and character." Zi Yang Zhenren's voice echoed through the clouds and mist. "Remember, if you persevere to the end, you will be victorious."

Ren Xiaoyao looked around and found himself standing on a narrow mountain path, with abysses on either side and swirling clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the bottom. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and began to move forward cautiously.

"This kid is quite courageous." True Man Zi Yang, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Ren Xiaoyao's performance, nodded slightly, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

However, the road to trial was not smooth sailing. Not long after Ren Xiaoyao started walking, he encountered the first test.

"Junior Brother Ren, be careful!" A cry of surprise came from behind. Ren Xiaoyao turned around and saw his fellow junior brother, Senior Brother Heixin, standing not far behind him with a strange smile on his face.

"Brother Blackheart, why are you here?" Alarm bells rang in Ren Xiaoyao's heart. Senior Brother Blackheart was narrow-minded and had always been jealous of his talent. He was probably not up to any good intentions in this trial.

"Hehe, junior brother, I'm here to lend you a hand." Senior Brother Heixin said with a sinister smile on his face. He suddenly made a move and pushed Ren Xiaoyao to the edge of the cliff.

"You!" Ren Xiaoyao was caught off guard and was pushed by his black-hearted senior brother, causing him to stagger and fall off the cliff. At the critical moment, he grabbed a vine beside him and stabilized his body, but the situation was still very critical.

"Haha, Junior Brother Ren, just accept your fate! This road of trials is not something that everyone can walk on!" Senior Brother Hei Xin stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at Ren Xiaoyao.

"There is no rule in the trial for fellow disciples to kill each other. Senior Brother Blackhearted, aren't you afraid of being punished?!" Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words with difficulty.

"Humph, rules? As long as you die, who will know it was me who did it?" Senior Brother Hei Xin sneered, a murderous look flashing in his eyes, and he slowly raised the long sword in his hand, "Junior Brother Ren, just go on your way with peace of mind!"

After saying that, Blackhearted Senior Brother swung his sword and stabbed Ren Xiaoyao...

The sword flashed fiercely, heading straight for Ren Xiaoyao's face. At the critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, and instead of retreating, he advanced, stomping his toes on the edge of the cliff, using the force to pounce on Black Heart Senior Brother. Black Heart Senior Brother obviously didn't expect Ren Xiaoyao to make such a counterattack, and in panic he could only sheath his sword to block.

"boom!"

The two forces collided with a loud bang. Ren Xiaoyao used the recoil to flip over and land steadily behind Blackheart Senior Brother, who nearly fell off the cliff because he couldn't stop in time.

"You...you actually..." Senior Brother Heixin was still in shock. He pointed at Ren Xiaoyao and was speechless for a long time.

"Brother Blackheart, those who do evil will eventually destroy themselves. Do you think your conspiracy can be concealed from the world?" Ren Xiaoyao patted the dust off his body and looked at Senior Brother Blackheart coldly.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand!" Senior Brother Heixin's eyes flickered and he pretended to be calm.

"Hmph, did you think I wouldn't be on guard?" Ren Xiaoyao pulled out a photo stone from his bosom. It was the one he had secretly opened when he discovered that Black-hearted Senior Brother was following him. "Your every move has been recorded in this photo stone."

Senior Brother Hei Xin's face turned pale instantly. He had never expected that Ren Xiaoyao had been prepared. He tried to grab the photo stone, but Ren Xiaoyao easily dodged him.

"Brother Heixin, you should think about how to explain to the elders!" Ren Xiaoyao put away the photo stone and turned to leave.

Senior Brother Hei Xin collapsed on the ground, he knew that he was finished.

Ren Xiaoyao continued to advance along the mountain road. However, the exposure of his black-hearted senior brother's conspiracy did not make his trial journey easier. On the contrary, his outstanding performance and extraordinary talent aroused the jealousy and hostility of other trial participants.

"Humph, he's just a lucky guy, what's so great about him!"

"Exactly. Seeing him look so smug, I really want to teach him a lesson!"

Some narrow-minded trial participants began to discuss secretly, and some even started planning how to join forces to deal with Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao naturally noticed the change in the atmosphere around him, but he didn't back down. Instead, he became more determined. He knew that if he wanted to go further on the path of cultivation, he had to face various challenges and defeat all enemies.

"Ren Xiaoyao, stop right there!"

At this moment, a roar came from behind...
