Chapter 56: Playing Tricks Again

Moreover, despite their thirty-second limit, they couldn't restrict Yunze, and instead, they ended up bearing an undeserved shameful accusation.
If they had known it would be like this, they would have said three seconds instead; however, even so, their shameless reputation is likely to become even greater, and it seems it won't be difficult for Yunze anyway.
They remember Yun Ze, who seemed to ascend to the third level of Transcendence in just three breaths. This kid elevates his level as easily as drinking water.
Now, faced with Yun Ze's calm question, Chen Qingyi and Yun Kun felt a burning sensation on their faces, as if they had been harshly slapped dozens of times.
The arrogance and teasing from just now have turned into the laughter of others.
The people around looked at the two with strange expressions, as if they were watching fools, recalling how confidently they had made things difficult for Yunze just moments ago.
But now they have been heavily slapped in the face, and those disciples below the third level of the Transcendence Realm are filled with a sense of exhilaration.
These shameless fellows fear that they will also end up being severely slapped in the face by someone like Yunze.
“Hmph... Don't get too happy too soon. You may have won this time, but I don't believe you can keep winning. I'm waiting for the moment you lose.”
Yun Kun cast a cold glance at Yun Ze, his voice tinged with a hint of unwillingness and anger, along with a dash of something more.
It seems that he is not going to give up easily and will definitely go after Yunze.
“So now, everyone can participate in the selection tournament, right?” Yunze looked at Yunkun with a calm expression.

His words made Yun Kun and Chen Qingyi's faces turn pale; the two had already sworn an oath, and it was impossible for them to go back on it.
Although Yun Kun felt very unwilling in his heart, he still let out a cold snort and said:

“Hmph... The selection tournament starts now. The first item is the Gravity Valley test. All disciples please proceed to Gravity Valley in turn. Those who pass the threefold challenge will qualify for the first item of the selection. All disciples, please go...”
他这话也算是承认取消脱凡三重以下弟子不能参选的规则。
所有脱凡三重以下的弟子闻言，瞬间发出一阵欢呼，大家看向云泽，眼里充满了感激。
If it weren't for Yun Ze, they would probably have truly lost this rare opportunity to enhance their cultivation.
Gravity Valley is a place for tempering the body and increasing the purity of true essence; the gravity within will greatly forge the bodies of cultivators.
The practitioner's true essence will go through countless refinements, reaching an exceptionally high level of purity.
The strength of the physical body will enhance the practitioner's defense, while the refinement of true essence will significantly boost the practitioner's power, making it easier to break through realms.
The essence can be refined to a certain extent, allowing one's strength to even surpass that of the same level.
Usually, wanting to enter the Gravity Valley for training cannot be done just with spirit stones; one must use sect contribution points.
Moreover, each entry requires a significant amount of sect contribution points. One hour costs one thousand contribution points.
However, sect contribution points are incredibly difficult to obtain; usually, doing some chores in the sect yields only twenty to thirty contribution points at best.
Not to mention, within the sect, other aspects also consume sect contribution points.
To earn more sect contribution points, one can only go out to complete tasks.
可等级和难度低的任务，贡献点又极少，贡献点多的任务，等级和难度却很大，根本就不是脱凡境低阶弟子可以完成的。
For the lower-tier disciples, the selection of the Ascension Conference is their opportunity to gain access to training in the Gravity Valley.
All the disciples hurriedly ran towards the long road on the right side after hearing Yun Kun's words; at the end of the long road lies the entrance to the Gravity Valley.
The Gravity Valley is divided into nine layers, designated for the cultivation of disciples at the Transcendence Realm.
The gravity value of the first layer is twice the normal value, the second layer is four times, the third layer is eight times, and so forth, doubling for each subsequent layer. The gravity increases stronger as you go further up.
脱凡一重能够承受的重力值在二倍左右，脱凡二重则在四倍左右。脱凡三重则是八倍左右。
一般实力达到脱凡二重者，只是实力还过得去，勉强通过重力谷第三重的，也是有的。
There are even some disciples practicing body refinement techniques, who, with their Transcendence Stage First Layer cultivation, can also pass through the third layer.
Watching Yun Ze walk towards the Gravity Valley, Yun Kun exchanged a glance with Chen Qingyi, a faint cruel smile playing on their lips.
“Elder Yun, has the gravity array been serviced this year?” At this moment, Chen Qingyi inexplicably asked Elder Yun.
The four elders behind him showed a look of astonishment in their eyes.
The gravity array of the Gravity Valley is managed by the Internal Affairs sect, and it undergoes maintenance every three months, including the replacement of gravity crystals and reinforcement of the array's foundation and patterns.
Chen Qingyi's question was clearly rhetorical; what exactly did it mean?! The four elders were somewhat confused.
Upon hearing this, Yun Kun's eyes flickered with concern as he promptly rubbed his forehead and said:
“Oh no, it seems I forgot the last maintenance check. Sigh... with so many disciples taking the test today, if something goes wrong, it would be troublesome. Elder Chen, please keep an eye on this; I will go secure the gravity array to prevent any unexpected incidents.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qingyi had a strange smile on his lips and nodded slightly, saying, "Then it will trouble Elder Yun, please go ahead; we will keep an eye on things here."
The four elders behind him exchanged meaningful glances, curled their lips, and their eyes revealed a hint of mockery and disdain.
```htmlThey couldn't possibly be unaware of Yun Kun and Chen Qingyi's feelings.
One of the elders from the Internal Affairs faction knew very well that the gravity array maintaining the gravity in Gravity Valley had been recently overhauled to ensure the testing today, and he had personally overseen it yesterday.```
Yunkun said there was no maintenance, and the intention is very clear: he wants to use the gravity array in the Gravity Valley to sabotage Yunze.
However, specifically targeting Yunze by manipulating the gravity in the array, it is questionable whether Yunze can make it through the Gravity Valley at all.
```htmlAs for the others, as long as they don't resort to tricks, there won't be any impact at all.
Even if Yun Ze is dissatisfied and wants to settle the score later, there's nothing he can do.
If others of the same cultivation level can pass, why can't you?! Isn't it just that your own strength is lacking?!```
The four elders looked at Yun Ze's back with pity, shaking their heads. Their eyes revealed a sense of sympathy.
Having come into conflict with Yun Kun and Chen Qingyi, it seems impossible for Yun Ze to go far in the Rising Ranking Conference.
These two guys will definitely find a way to make trouble for him.
Chen Qingyi looked at Yun Ze's back, his eyes revealing a sense of malice. This kid dared to defy him, and he would make Yun Ze regret it.
At this moment, everyone had entered the Gravity Valley. In front of the square, Chen Qingyi urged the formation ahead, and several huge light screens appeared in front of the square.
Chen Qingyi and the four elders looked at the light screens, ensuring that no one was cheating in them.
At the moment the light curtain appeared, dozens of beams of light appeared in front of the plaza.
