Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2262

Chapter 2262: Unique Trial

"Great job clearing the trials, Master." Tian’er congratulated him upon his return to the platform.

"Was that the last trial?" Yuan asked.

He was sure there would be more since it would’ve been called the ’final’ trial if it were the last one.

Tian’er shook her head and calmly responded, "No, there is one more trial."

"I figured. Then you must be here to give me my reward for clearing the previous trial."

However, Tian’er shook her head again and said, "Master, I am here to warn you about the final trial."

"Warn me...?" Yuan swallowed nervously, as this had never happened before.

Tian’er continued, "Although you haven’t cleared all of the trials, you have already received the qualifications to enter the Ninth Heaven. The next trial will be the last one, and it’ll be unlike any trial you’ve experienced before."

"If I can enter the Ninth Heaven without clearing the final trial... what’s the point of the trial?"

"I don’t know."

"What?"

"Not only is the trial unique, but it has never been challenged before, so you’ll be the first one to challenge it."

"I don’t understand... why didn’t my previous incarnations challenge it?"

"Because the trial is time-restricted and cannot be accessed until a certain amount of time has passed. However, that restriction ended while you were still in the third trial."

"In other words, it was prepared specifically for this life..." Yuan muttered.

"Anyway," Tian’er continued, "If you wish, you may head to the Ninth Heaven right now and return to challenge the trial at a later date, but you may also choose to do the trial now."

"Does it matter if I do the trial now or later? What changes?" Yuan asked.

"Nothing changes. The reward... the difficulty... everything will remain the same regardless of when you challenge it."

"The difficulty will remain the same? Even if I were to challenge it after I become a Cultivation God?" Yuan inquired with a puzzled face.

Tian’er quietly nodded.

"In that case, I might as well do it now."

"I understand. Here is your reward for clearing the third trial."

With a gentle gesture toward the void, Tian’er drew forth a radiant crystal orb. Inside it, a strange liquid churned and sparkled, its motion reminiscent of glitter drifting through oil.

Yuan knew at a glance what this item was, as it radiated with immense Eternal Essence. It was the essence of the final Eternal he defeated.

"Since you’ve technically cleared the Stairway to Heaven, you can start the next trial whenever you want," Tian’er said.

Yuan nodded as he accepted the item.

"Then I’ll start once I finish absorbing this."

He seated himself and wasted no time drawing the Eternal Essence out of the crystal orb.

Several days passed before he refined every last drop, and when he did, the orb crumbled into nothingness.
