Night of the Broken Gliph - Chapter 550

Despite lacking practice in medicine recently, Chui Yim still practiced alchemy from time to time. He could identify if the pill was safe for consumption just by smelling it.

He nodded at Kam Chin Kee, and both of them swallowed a pill.

As for other Great Wisdom citizens, they took the pill without suspicion as they had been doing this for the past few centuries; it was like breathing to them.

Seeing that all participants had swallowed their pill, Hung Siu continued. “Like always, autumn is the Heavenly Silver Waterfall’s prime, and it will create the Heavenly Illusion. How much you can gain from inside will depend on your capability. Lastly, the eligibility to cultivate in the waterfall will be determined by your levels.”

Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee had read about the Heavenly Silver Waterfall in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but not the Heavenly Illusion; they were totally unprepared for what was about to happen.

However, they were fearless as they knew that Great Wisdom City would not need to do so much just to harm them; it would be a breeze for Hung Siu to get rid of them even without using brains.

At the same time, three young men stepped out from the crowd, and the Great Wisdom City participants made way for them subconsciously. The three of them were donned in azure uniforms, and the person on the left had two tufts of beard and a kind of pretty face. He was the Hung Clan disciple, Hung Koh.

Another had a square face, walked with a powerful stride, and at first glance he seemed to have the demeanor of a formidable man, easily causing one to overlook that he was just a young man in his twenties. He was Hung Si Yuen.

Both him and Hung Koh were famous young cultivators of Great Wisdom City, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to call them the future of Great Wisdom City.

However, they were standing behind the middle teenager, making them look like ordinary people.

When Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee saw the teen in the middle, they wore ugly expressions. They had bad memories associated with him, despite him being eliminated by Yeung Tin Hun.

However, Hung Ching Sun excelled during the Cloud Palace enrollment. Just based on how Hung Ching Sun dared to challenge all ten elites alone, one could see his capability and confidence. Not only that, he had grown even stronger by cultivating at the Heavenly Silver Waterfall frequently.

Gliphers cultivated their body, and even though physical strength alone could not represent their full capability, it was enough to prove that they were special.

Hung Ching Sun glanced at Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee before looking away to the silver light by the cliff.

If it was any other day, he would definitely be excited to challenge Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee to redeem himself, but today was the Silver Waterfall Festival. It was a glorious festival to others, but it was a very important moment for him.

The Cloud Palace Itinerants weren’t even half as important as the Heavenly Illusion because this was Hung Ching Sun’s last chance.

Seeing that all participants had gotten ready, Hung Siu announced the start of the festival. “The festival has officially begun, all participants, please head into the Heavenly Illusion!”

The participants were people of all ages, but at most of the two-chambered state. There were also some one-chambered cultivators amongst them.

All the participants dashed towards the cliff, leaving Chui Yim’s heart in his throat. But as they jumped off the cliff, they disappeared into the silver screen.

The space actually exists!?

Chui Yim marvelled, but he was reminded of Sung Tsz Hin’s Ink Heaven Painting, which was a self-created space, he no longer feared. Seeing the participants enter, he and Kam Chin Kee followed.

Buzz…

They were familiar with the spatial movements, and when the entered the space, they found themselves in a silver ocean alone. There was another energy ripple, but no sound. However, it carried a message; “Persevere to the end.”

What is there to persevere against? Chui Yim was startled, but his confusion was soon answered.

Whoosh…

Ripples formed in the surrounding silver ocean as nine small, silver fish started to surface and pounce at Chui Yim.

“What the hell?” Chui Yim was still able to remain calm, but this scene left him at a loss. Instead of waiting to be attacked, he smacked one fish dead and kicked two, causing them to disperse into silver light.

He also deliberately allowed one of the fish to bite him to feel its power. The silver fish bit him hard; Chui Yim did not expect them to have such sharp teeth for it to gnaw on his arms since they were made of silver beams of light.

Chui Yim furrowed his brows. The fish obviously was unable to bite through his skin, since he had cultivated bronze skin successfully, while the fish was not even a grade one beast. However, it was sufficient to make him feel pain.

With that, Chui Yim crushed it with his hands.

Nine of the fish disappeared, and eighteen whirlpools soon appeared.

Hung Siu looked at the silver light space silently. Next to him stood a man who could be described as an older version of Hung Siu. The man was Hung Siu’s biological younger brother, Hung Leung. Hung Leung was less talented than Hung Siu, only in the four-chambered state. He was younger, but five-chambered state cultivators could live up to three hundred years while four-chambered cultivators only had a lifespan of a hundred years.

Thus, Hung Leung’s time was near.

Hung Siu did not get married, but Hung Leung had two sons; Hung Ching Sun was one of them.

Watching Hung Ching Sun on the light screen, Hung Leung whispered, “Elder Brother, do you think Ching Sun stands a chance this time?”

“Hard to say,” Hung Siu replied after a pause. “The Heavenly Illusion is extremely difficult, and other than capability, one’s understanding and luck are also important. If that weren’t the case, the secrets of the illusion would have been easily broken already. Even I could not manage to do it back then.”

“Elder Brother couldn’t even beat me in the second-chambered state, haha!” Hung Leung caressed his beard and joked. Hung Siu wore a rare smile on his face too. He was a typical late bloomer, stepping into the four-chambered state many decades later than Hung Leung. Thus, it was widely believed that Hung Leung would be the next Hung Clan Leader at that time.
