As long as one could keep pace with the rhythm of the Bone-Eroding Gale, there was still a real possibility of finding a sliver of survival within the storm.
Jiang Chen assessed the situation. This Bone-Eroding Gale, while formidable, was nowhere near the most fearsome tier. If classified by form, this gale was actually still in its primary stage.
At this level, it could pose a threat to Celestial-tier cultivators, but for many high-level Celestial cultivators with exceptional movement techniques and powerful spiritual sense, its destructive force was not particularly overwhelming.
Among this batch of young geniuses, those who had truly reached the high Celestial tier could be counted on one hand. And even then, they were at most at the seventh level of Celestial.
So these geniuses — even the very top among them — might not necessarily pass through the Bone-Eroding Gale without difficulty.
Jiang Chen was in no rush to cross. Instead, he carefully observed the patterns of the Bone-Eroding Gale. In truth, this gale had no fixed pattern. However, with careful observation, one could still glean certain insights.
"The Bone-Eroding Gale forms based on the terrain and topography. So, to avoid these gales, one must first study the terrain here. Based on the terrain, understand the rhythm of the Bone-Eroding Gale…"
Unlike the others, Jiang Chen possessed an exceptionally deep understanding of the Bone-Eroding Gale.
After observing carefully for a while, Jiang Chen had a rough picture in mind.
His figure flickered, and resolve settled in his heart. "Let's go. A gale of this level won't stop me!"
His mind shifted, and another Bone-Eroding Gale surged toward him head-on. Jiang Chen's body shot forward like lightning toward an area to his right, narrowly evoking the gale's main force.
Then his figure flickered again, arriving at the left side.
In this manner, he leaped and wove his way through, dodge by dodge. Wave after wave of Bone-Eroding Gale swept in from every direction, but Jiang Chen always anticipated them ahead of time, slipping past each one before it could reach him.
Having grasped the key, Jiang Chen moved with ever greater ease. Within the gales, he appeared poised and unhurried — no matter how the rhythm of the gale shifted, it could not so much as scratch him.
……
Outside Pingsha Island, the higher-ups from the ten great sacred lands had gathered together. So far, of the sixty geniuses participating in the trial, the majority had been eliminated.
Fewer than ten remained inside, still enduring.
On the
However, what brought some comfort to the Eternal Sacred Land's camp was that Jiang Chen was still inside.
At the very least, in this phase of the competition, Jiang Chen had already broken into the top ten.
"Someone's already entered the ninth forbidden island — which monster could that be? Everyone else is still on the seventh forbidden island. Hmm, two have made it to the eighth forbidden island. But this one has already entered the ninth forbidden island, and it looks like they're holding firm in there?"
"I'm guessing it's Jiang Chen from the Eternal Sacred Land!"
"I think it's Poison Princess
"Why not Senior Brother Lu Mingye?"
"Don't forget — Saintess Sitong and Saintess Yuling and the other jade hairpins are also top-tier geniuses in their own right."
