"A blessing in disguise?"
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly when he heard Huo Lao's words.
Indeed.
This time, it could be said that he had profited from a disaster.
Not only did he manage to escape death, but he had also devoured the high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots of many powerhouses, allowing his Innate Spiritual Root to turn dark blue. He was not far from transforming into a violet Innate Spiritual Root.
However, when he thought of how powerful people like Bai Li and Wei Suo had died just like that, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Apart from being the Green Bat King, one of the Four Kings of the Xuanzha Buddhism, Wei Suo was also ranked 24th on the Supreme Saint Ranking. His cultivation base was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Bai Li, on the other hand, was one of the strongest powerhouses in Sin City. His cultivation base was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and he was ranked ninth on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
Bai Li was one of the strongest powerhouses in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
However, these two powerhouses had died in just a blink of an eye in this pseudo realm.
From the beginning until the end, both of them did not even have time to react, let alone defend themselves from the terrifying force.
'If the heavens give them a chance to start over, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to come here even if they were given a hundred guts!'
Duan Lingtian was certain of this.
'As for the others, such as Dong Guo Yi, the Leader of the Thousand Years Alliance, He Fei Yi, the Sect Leader of the Forgotten Dust Sect, and the others … If they were given a chance to start over, they would definitely do the same!'
The group of people who were standing in front of Duan Lingtian earlier were all killed in just a blink of an eye.
One could easily imagine how Duan Lingtian felt at this moment.
He did not feel happy about the transformation of his Innate Spiritual Root.
Now, he was only glad that he had the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Moreover, that terrifying power had only exploded for an instant.
Otherwise, he would have died today!
Even at this moment, Duan Ling Tian's forehead was still dripping with cold sweat.
His heartbeat had not returned to normal.
Time passed quietly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Duan Lingtian gradually recovered from the 'shock'. At the same time, he looked around, only to find that the surrounding was a vast expanse. He could not see anything clearly and did not know where he should go.
At this point, there was no need for him to participate in any 'trials'. He stood in the middle of the Vast Expanse, like a lone boat in the middle of a vast ocean. He had no sense of direction, and was all alone.
It was as though Duan Lingtian had been forgotten by Zheng Dong Ji, one of the three Eminent Celestials who had left behind this pseudo realm.
"Huo Lao, I should've been killed like Bai Li, Wei Suo, and the others in this pseudo-realm. However, thanks to the existence of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I survived. Now, I seem to have escaped from Zheng Dong Ji's control. "
Duan Lingtian communicated with Huo Lao and asked, "How do I leave this' pseudo plane 'now?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian no longer cared about the treasures in this pseudo realm. He only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
What had happened earlier had left an indelible shadow in his heart.
So close!
So close!
Just a little more and he would've died!
Even until now, Duan Ling Tian still could not help but shudder when he recalled the feeling of crossing the gates of hell.
If possible, he did not want to experience that feeling again in his life.
For this reason, he desperately wanted to leave this place.
"Why do you want to leave this pseudo realm?"
Huo Lao asked in response to Duan Lingtian's question.
"Huo Lao."
Duan Lingtian smiled bitterly. "Currently, I'm considered to have been eliminated from the trials set by Zheng Dong Ji and the other two Eminent Celestials. Although I survived, I'm certain I won't be able to participate in the following trials.
Since I won't be able to participate in the following trials, I won't be able to obtain the treasures and legacies they left behind in this pseudo realm.
In that case, instead of staying here in fear, it's better for me to leave as soon as possible. "
Duan Lingtian gave his reason for leaving.
"Perhaps, you won't be able to participate in the following trials, but don't you want to improve your Innate Spiritual Root?"
Huo Lao asked.
"Huo Lao, what do you mean?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. He did not understand what Huo Lao meant.
What did he mean by he did not want to improve his Innate Spiritual Root?
"My strength has already recovered to the level of a Celestial. For this reason, my Divine Consciousness can see through many things in this pseudo realm. For example, the other two groups of people are currently undergoing the third trial. "
Elder Huo said in a timely manner, "The rules of the third test are similar to the second test. If one person dies in any group, the entire group will be annihilated!"
"So what?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled wryly. "I don't even know where they are. Don't tell me I can devour their Innate Spiritual Roots after they're wiped out?"
"Why not?"
However, Elder Huo's next question caused the wry smile on Duan Ling Tian's face to disappear. His expression turned solemn as he asked, "Elder Huo, do you mean you can let me devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of those who have been eliminated?"
"Of course."
Huo Lao sounded confident. "I've told you earlier that my Divine Consciousness can see through many things in this pseudo realm. I've tried to investigate this pseudo realm earlier and confirmed their location.
"The Sealed Spaces they're in are similar to the rock cave you were in earlier. The distance between them isn't too far … As long as you stay in the middle of the two Sealed Spaces, you'll be able to reach one of the Sealed Spaces in ten breaths' time at most if you travel at full speed."
One of the sealed spaces will be destroyed, and the people inside will die. At that time, it won't be too late for you to rush over. "
Elder Huo continued to say, "Naturally, by the time you arrive, their Innate Spiritual Roots would have already dissipated by quite a bit. However, it'll definitely improve your Innate Spiritual Root! "
Duan Lingtian nodded.
However, he did not look happy at all. Instead, he felt sad for Duan Lingtian.
"Huo Lao!"
Duan Lingtian suddenly asked Huo Lao, "Do you have a way to send them out or stop the three Eminent Celestials from carrying out the test?"
Although the Innate Spiritual Root was attractive, if Duan Lingtian had to choose, he would rather Duan Lingtian and hoped that the two groups of people would be spared.
It was not because he was a great person.
It was because he remembered the rumor that the Devil Clans from the Land of Exile might have successfully invaded the Dobusei Subterranean.
Although the people in the Upper Province rarely talked about this matter, Duan Ling Tian still could not let go of his worries.
Apart from that, he had a very strong ominous feeling about this.
There was a saying that went like this.
It was always better to be safe than sorry.
What if the Devil Clans had really invaded the Dobusei Subterranean?
At that time, not only would the people in the Dobusei Subterranean be wiped out, but the Upper Province would also be affected.
At that time, all humans would have to band together to fight against the Devil Clans.
Apart from Bai Li and Wei Suo who were in the same group as Zheng Dong Ji, there were also a few powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had entered the pseudo realm created by three Eminent Celestials, including Zheng Dong Ji.
If the Devil Clans invaded the Upper Province, those powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would undoubtedly be the backbone of the humans' fight against the Devil Clans.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian hoped that they would be able to survive.
Even if he did not know them and had nothing to do with them, even if their Innate Spiritual Roots were very tempting to him.
He still hoped that they would be able to survive.
"Unless I can leave the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I won't be able to send them out and stop the three Eminent Celestials from carrying out the test!"
Huo Lao quickly replied to Duan Lingtian's question.
Duan Lingtian was, naturally, disappointed by Huo Lao's reply.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have thought of something as the flames of hope rose in his eyes. "Elder Huo, can you give me some pointers on how to save them?"
"You? You're too weak. You'll need to at least be a Celestial if you want to save them. "
Huo Lao rejected him.
Otherwise, even if you know the location of the sealed space, with your current strength, you won't be able to break in even if you use all your techniques, let alone save them! "
Huo Lao continued to say, "The only thing you can do now is to watch from the sidelines and not let them lose their Innate Spiritual Roots.
It's not that you don't want to save them, but you're powerless! For this reason, you don't have to feel pressured. "
Upon hearing Huo Lao's words, Duan Lingtian realized what was going on.
He could only watch as one of the two groups of people sent themselves to their deaths!
After realizing that it was impossible for him to save the two groups of people, Duan Lingtian followed Huo Lao's guidance and came to the center of the two sealed spaces. He waited for Huo Lao's reminder.
Meanwhile.
The other two groups of people were also undergoing the third test.
To them, being able to survive the second test and advance to participate in the third test was undoubtedly an exciting matter.
