However, after searching around, what made Yan Chutian's expression turn increasingly ugly was that he simply could not find any of the secret passages that he had imagined.
The entire space was completely sealed, as if it was truly a hopeless situation.
However, in the face of such a situation, how could Yan Chutian remain calm? This was because he was very clear that the path that he had come from had already disappeared. In other words, if there was a dead end in front of him, there would definitely be no way out behind him.
As he thought of this, he suddenly realized a certain possibility. Could it be that this place was originally a dead end? The purpose of this place was to trap the numerous chained skeleton on top of the huge rune.
However, if this was really the case, wouldn't it mean that he, Yan Chutian, would also be trapped here until his death?
For a moment, Yan Chutian's expression was extremely ugly. This was because if he was trapped in this place, it would definitely not be something that could be solved in a day or two.
Perhaps he could use the Jade Tablet to escape, but if he were to crush the Jade Tablet, it would mean that he would lose the right to enter the trial. If he lost the right to enter the trial and was sent out of the trial space, then wouldn't all the time he spent in the trial space be wasted?
Therefore, Yan Chutian was very clear that the Jade Tablet was his greatest guarantee of survival in this trial space. However, at the same time, it was also something that he would definitely not use unless absolutely necessary.
As he thought of this, Yan Chutian's eyes gradually focused. Then, he slowly looked towards the numerous chained skeleton on top of the huge rune.
Since he had searched everywhere else and still could not find a way to leave, then perhaps there would be a way to escape from this skeleton.
His gaze firmly fixed on the skeleton. After a long time, Yan Chutian finally saw that in the skeleton's hands, which had already turned into rotting bones, there seemed to be something that it was holding.
However, even if he widened his Spiritual Eye, he was still unable to clearly see what that thing was. However, even so, it made Yan Chutian's eyes shine as if he had found a way out.
He no longer hoped that this was an opportunity. As long as it was a teleportation token that could allow him to leave this place, it would be enough.
However, even though he knew that there was a path of survival in front of him, Yan Chutian did not dare to act rashly. This was because the ground in front of him was densely covered with runes.
Even though many of the runes had been greatly damaged by the passage of time, he still couldn't look down on them.
Even if it was a damaged ancient rune, the power it contained was definitely not something that the current him could resist.
If he were to activate it, he would most likely lose his life in an instant.
However, hesitation was not in Yan Chutian's character. Furthermore, he had no other choice. Furthermore, he still had the Jade Tablet as a life-saving measure.
If he were to encounter a life or death crisis, the worst that could happen was to crush the Jade Tablet and give up on the trial.
Since he had already made up his mind, Yan Chutian naturally would not hesitate. The Mysterious Yang Qi and Spiritual Energy around him surged at the same time as he slowly approached the skeleton.
He couldn't approach the rune ground in front of him. However, Yan Chutian thought that he might be able to use one of the chains that bound the skeleton to get closer.
On top of the chain, he should not be able to activate the many ancient runes below.
In the next moment, Yan Chutian lightly stepped on the ground with his right foot. Immediately, his body soared into the air and headed straight for one of the chains.
During this process, he had already done his best to restrain his aura and power. He was afraid that the slightest fluctuation would activate the ancient runes.
"Pa …"
Using the force of the jump, in the blink of an eye, Yan Chutian landed on a huge chain.
However, the instant he landed, the power behind his landing caused the entire chain to violently shake.
This immediately caused Yan Chutian's heart to tense up. His gaze was fixed on the rune ground below.
Fortunately, after shaking a few times, the chain gradually calmed down. During this process, the runes below were still silent. None of the runes were activated.
"Phew …"
After letting out a sigh of relief, Yan Chutian's gaze locked onto the skeleton that was bound by layers of chains at the end of the chain.
He could only hope that his actions, which seemed like he was going to die, would be able to find a way out for himself.
Next, Yan Chutian followed the chain that had existed for an unknown period of time and continued to move forward.
As he moved forward, no matter how little he tried to control his movements, there was still a slight tremor that spread out, bringing about rustling sounds.
Fortunately, the situation seemed to be as Yan Chutian had expected. These chains that were hanging in the air did not cause the runes below to move.
However, even so, Yan Chutian could not help but feel pity for the skeleton that was bound in the middle of the chain.
For some unknown reason, the skeleton had been chained here. Not to mention whether it had the ability to break free from the chains, even if it did, it would not dare to act recklessly.
Because if it broke free from the chains, it would very likely mean that the numerous runes below would be completely activated.
As of now, these extremely worn runes made it difficult for Yan Chutian to estimate their might. If they were at their peak, it would be even more difficult to imagine exactly how powerful they would be.
"Clang clang …"
The swaying of the chains lasted for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, Yan Chutian's expression turned solemn as he looked at the skeleton before him.
He did not need to think to know that this skeleton was definitely an extremely powerful figure when it was alive.
Even if he could not sense any aura that belonged to the skeleton, he could estimate that its cultivation when it was alive. Even if it had not reached the Heavenly Completion stage, it would not be far away.
If it was in the past, he would definitely feel respect for the skeleton left behind by such an expert. However, the current situation was special, and he could not be bothered to offend it.
In the next instant, Yan Chutian's gaze once again gradually locked onto the skeleton's palm.
At such a close distance, he was already able to see that the skeleton's hand was tightly holding a jade strip.
In an instant, Yan Chutian had already thought of the possibility of a teleportation jade strip. This caused him to no longer care about anything else as he slowly extended his hand towards the jade strip in the skeleton's palm.
However, just as Yan Chutian touched the jade strip, the ice-cold feeling was transmitted to his hand. The originally calm chains immediately began to shake violently.
At the same time, the large expanse of runes below that had been silent for an unknown number of years also seemed to have been stimulated at the same time as they emitted rays of light. Clearly, they were about to be activated!
This sudden turn of events caught Yan Chutian off guard. It also caused a helpless expression to appear on Yan Chutian's face, who had originally thought that he had seen a path to survival.
The imminent danger of life and death made him unable to care too much. This was because even if he wanted to stay in the training space and fight for the opportunity in the Mysterious Fire Lotus Pool, it was not comparable to his own life!
The violent force crushed down from below. At the last instant before it was about to touch Yan Chutian's body, he finally crushed the Jade Tablet.
Light flashed before his eyes. When everything calmed down again, Yan Chutian already saw that he had already returned to the huge platform in the middle of the mountain range.
This made Yan Chutian very clear that he had already been eliminated from the training space.
At this moment, even if Yan Chutian's state of mind was as steady as a rock, a helpless expression appeared on his face.
However, this was normal. Even if he was reborn and had an extraordinary foundation, how could he guarantee that he would be able to succeed every time?
Not to mention that he had stepped into a mysterious area that originated from ancient times.
Yan Chutian's appearance attracted the attention of some people. There were also some people who recognized him as the shocking figure that had appeared in the light image not long ago.
However, no matter what happened previously, his appearance now meant that he had already been eliminated from the training space.
As for a loser, they naturally did not pay much attention to him. This was because there were simply too many losers like him.
Many people ignored Yan Chutian. Naturally, Yan Chutian did not have any intention of staying here any longer. He immediately leaped up and left the area.
In the corner of the crowd behind, a young girl's face was filled with pity as she watched Yan Chutian appear and leave.
Beside her, a helpless expression appeared on the girl's face as she softly sighed.
It was just as she had thought. Even if he could perform well, it would only be a flash in the pan.
After all, his true cultivation had yet to step into the Yuanying stage. Therefore, how could he soar in the outer sect training space where there were so many geniuses at the Yuanying stage?
She only hoped that he would not give up because of this setback.
However, this woman was clearly thinking too much. Yan Chutian had been reborn and had experienced life and death. How could she possibly give up on herself just because of a single failure?
