Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Chapter 39 Passing the Test.

Jun Luochuan gripped the rope woven from vines as if it were a lifeline, and began his arduous climb. Every movement he made felt like carrying an immense burden, incredibly strenuous, each shift a desperate struggle against death. Yet, his eyes burned with a resolute and unwavering light, a light so intense and dazzling that it seemed capable of incinerating all difficulties and obstacles.

Sweat poured down like a torrential downpour, instantly soaking his clothes, which clung tightly to his body like a second skin. Yet he seemed oblivious, completely ignoring the torrential sweat and the sharp pain emanating from his hands, which were red, swollen, and blistered from the ropes.

"I must get out! I must break free from this dark cage!" Jun Luochuan pounded his own drum in his heart like a war drum, the sound echoing in his chest, filled with boundless power and courage.

Just as he was struggling to get close to the top of the trap, suddenly, the rope, like an old ox unable to bear the weight, made a painful groaning sound. The sound was particularly jarring in the silent space, as if the death knell was tolling.

Jun Luochuan's heart sank into an abyss, leaping into his throat.

"It can't break! It absolutely can't!" He gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound as if he wanted to crush them. At the same time, he desperately increased his climbing speed, like a mad cheetah, charging towards the dawn of hope.

Finally, when he had almost exhausted his last bit of strength, he successfully climbed to the top of the trap.

Jun Luochuan collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, panting heavily, each breath seeming like a greedy sucking in the breath of life. At this moment, however, his heart was filled with joy and pride, like a dazzling firework display, the joy surging like a tide, wave after wave crashing against his heart.

"I did it! I finally did it!" He roared at the sky, his voice seemingly able to pierce through the clouds and reach the heavens.

Just then, the elders appeared before him as if they had emerged from the void.

"Excellent, child, you have passed this difficult test. Your perseverance and courage have brought us great comfort." The elders' faces lit up with warm and gratified smiles, smiles that seemed capable of melting away a thousand years of ice.

Jun Luochuan forced himself to stand up and respectfully bowed to the elders.

"Thank you, elders, for giving me this rare opportunity. Without your test, I'm afraid I would have had difficulty breaking through my limits."

The elders smiled and nodded, their eyes full of approval.

"From today onwards, you will receive more precious cultivation resources and more profound guidance. But remember, the path of cultivation is long and arduous, like climbing a peak with no end. Never become arrogant and complacent because of temporary achievements, or you will surely lose all your previous efforts."

Jun Luochuan nodded solemnly and said with a serious expression, "This disciple understands and will certainly remember the elders' teachings and dare not slack off in the slightest."

When he returned to the sect, Jun Luochuan's reputation spread like wildfire, becoming even more renowned.

The disciples looked at him with admiration and envy, their eyes shining like countless stars, bright and ardent.

Su Yao ran over like a cheerful little bird, waving her hands excitedly and shouting, "Jun Luochuan, you're amazing! You're my idol!"

Jun Luochuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, "It's nothing, just the effort I should do."

However, only he knew that this was just a new beginning, and the road ahead was still full of thorns.

In the days that followed, Jun Luochuan became obsessed, cultivating even more diligently. He immersed himself in the world of cultivation, seemingly completely isolated from the noise of the outside world. With every breath and every movement of his energy, he was fully focused, daring not to be distracted in the slightest. He was like a parched sponge, frantically absorbing knowledge and power, constantly improving his strength.

But at the same time, some jealous individuals, like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, began to secretly plot insidious schemes. Their twisted minds, consumed by the flames of jealousy, were utterly corrupted, and they vowed to drag Jun Luochuan down from his pedestal...
