Right when Duan Lingtian was preparing to receive the Earthen Energy, he strangely noticed that an aged figure had suddenly appeared ahead of him.
When he looked carefully, the owner of this figure was actually the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, Ning Can!
Presently, Ning Can stood there and was looking at Duan Lingtian with an amiable expression, and it was as if he was looking at a junior that he doted on dearly.
"Congratulations, you're the first to complete the first phase of the selections in the Illusory Crypt … Now, you can choose one of the three rewards."
After Duan Lingtian stopped, Ning Can said with a light smile, "The first is a grade three spirit weapon. The second is …."
Swoosh!
Ning Can hadn't finished speaking when Duan Lingtian's expression went grim, and then he flew out to actually pass through Ning Can's body and continue flashing forward.
At the same time, Ning Can's body gradually dispersed as if he'd never appeared.
"Dammit! In the beginning, I actually didn't notice that it was an illusory realm formed from an inscription formation. "
The expression of Duan Lingtian who continued flashing forward sank slightly.
At this moment, he didn't dare dally any longer and hurriedly stretched out his Spiritual Force, and as he moved forward, he didn't forget to search every single corner that he passed.
Earlier, his thoughts were placed on the Earthen Energy, and he utterly didn't think about anything else. When Ning Can appeared before him, it even caused him to be unable to refrain from being stunned.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Ning Can to appear here!
After all, Ning Can had clearly spoken of the rules of the second round of the selections outside, and there wasn't a segment where the rewards would be distributed halfway.
So when Duan Lingtian stopped for a moment, he completely reacted to the fact that it was an illusory realm formed from an inscription formation, and it was only for the sake of confusing him and delaying his time.
"Nevermind … Even though I've wasted some time, but I'm afraid anyone would be fooled by that scene from before. I was fooled, and the others ought to be more or less the same. "
Duan Lingtian ceaselessly consoled himself, and he still felt that he ought to be able to be the first to arrive at the end of the Illusory Crypt and obtain the number 1 token.
After flying forward for a while, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force trembled, and it caused his brows to be unable to refrain from raising as he sneered. "An inscription formation again!"
After a short moment, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force temporarily shut down the inscription formation he'd just noticed.
"Another inscription formation that can construct an illusory realm!"
When his Spiritual Force fused into the inscription formation, Duan Lingtian was able to notice the exact effects of the formation at the first possible moment.
As long as someone entered this kind of Inscription Formation, it would immediately trigger the Illusory Realm.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian used his Spiritual Energy to temporarily shut off the Inscription Formation so he did not have to face the unknown Illusory Realm.
"Duan Duan Lingtian for me, Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian to the Lingtian to Lingtian.
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and continued to fly forward at full speed.
Subsequently, he detected a few inscription formations that could construct an illusory realm in advance, and he temporarily shut them off in advance, saving him a great deal of time.
"Perhaps my speed is inferior to those young geniuses at the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage or above … But I have the assistance of my Spiritual Force in this Illusory Crypt, and I'm practically unobstructed. They ought to be slower than me."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart. "Now, I'm afraid only Zi Shang is capable of threatening me in the second round of the selections."
"After all, an old freak is concealed within his body … Even though it's only a strand of an incomplete soul, the lifetime experience of that old freak can't be underestimated!"
Duan Lingtian who possessed the memories of two lifetimes of Emperor Wu naturally knew how vast the experience of an existence suspected to be Emperor Wu was.
"Moreover, Zi Shang will probably allow that old freak to control his body when he traverses this Illusory Crypt … With the experience of that old freak, he'll probably be able to easily see through the illusory realm at the back. Only the energy of nature at the front is capable of slightly obstructing his footsteps. "
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath as he felt extremely great pressure.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian who took another turn in the passageway abruptly saw an expanse of light appear before him, and it caused his eyes to be unable to help but light up. "That's … the exit?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Duan Lingtian continued forward. Of course, he didn't forget to use his all-pervasive Spiritual Force to open up the path.
"This ought to be the final stretch of the path … I must not fail miserably!"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath. At the same time that he moved forward swiftly, his Spiritual Force carefully probed the path ahead.
As expected, his Spiritual Force noticed two inscription formations successively. One of them was an inscription formation that formed an illusory realm, and the other was an inscription formation that contained the energy of the earth.
"I never imagined that this inscription formation that contains the energy of the earth would actually appear here … I've arrived at the exit."
As he looked at the exit that was right before his eyes, a brilliant smile appeared on Duan Lingtian's face.
When he approached the exit, what appeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes was a spacious underground palace, and it ought to be the so-called Illusory Crypt.
Moreover, that ray of light precisely swept down from above the palace, and it was obviously where the exit was located.
"The combat ring ought to be above."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Swoosh!
Duan Lingtian's entire body seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning as he charged out of the passageway and entered the spacious underground palace before steadily stopping his figure.
When he couldn't help but turn around to look, he noticed that there were another few tens of passageways that led here.
"These passageways ought to be the passageways that the other young geniuses are at … Where are those command tokens with numbers? “
With a thought in his heart, Duan Lingtian's gaze started to search this underground palace, and in the end, he noticed a stone platform not far away on the right.
The stone platform was extremely spacious, and there were 50 command tokens neatly arranged on it. Every single command token had a number that belonged to it.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian's figure flashed out to arrive before the 50 command tokens like a ghost, and he glanced at the number 1 command token before casually picking it up.
"Looks like I'm the first person to pass through the Illusory Crypt."
After Duan Lingtian put away the number 1 command token, his eyes lit up, and then he soared into the sky to arrive nearby the exit of the Illusory Crypt. But he didn't leave directly.
Duan Lingtian who stood in the sky was concealed within the mist near the exit, and his fierce gaze stared at the other 49 passageways.
Suddenly, killing intent that was faintly discernible suffused his face.
The reason he didn't impatiently take the number 1 command token and leave was because he wanted to do something, something that he impatiently wanted to do.
Kill Zi Shang!
He'd formed enmity with Zi Shang in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom all those years ago, and when they met in the Darkhan Dynasty later on, the conflict between them escalated ceaselessly, and it seemed to have arrived at a situation where they would fight to the death.
Especially when he found out that the incomplete soul of an expert suspected to be Emperor Wu might be concealed within Zi Shang's body, Duan Lingtian felt an extremely great threat that came from Zi Shang.
He kept having the feeling that if Zi Shang was allowed to continue living, then Zi Shang would sooner or later become a great calamity!
With the assistance of the incomplete soul of the expert suspected to be Emperor Wu, Zi Shang's future path would surely be smooth, and perhaps he would even have the chance to become a Martial Monarch or even an Emperor Wu.
All of this wasn't something he was willing to see happen.
"Zi Shang, this Illusory Crypt is the time of your death."
Duan Lingtian muttered.
Duan Lingtian waited in the spacious underground palace just like this, and his gaze locked onto the other 49 passageways that led to this place because Zi Shang would come out from one of the passageways.
"Unfortunately, I don't know which passageway Zi Shang is at … Otherwise, I could consider taking the initiative to kill my way over!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze flashed as he thought in his heart.
On the other hand, outside the exit that wasn't too far away from Duan Lingtian was the sky above the combat arena in the outer fort of Skywolf Fort.
At this moment, besides Ning Can who'd always been waiting here, the representatives of the various Dynasties that had followed Feng Wei to the entrance of the Illusory Crypt earlier had returned as well.
Feng Wei had returned as well.
The group of experts of the older generation stood in the sky as they stared fixedly at the exit of the Illusory Crypt. The exit was suffused with an expanse of white mist, and they were unable to see clearly what was beneath it.
It was even to the extent that even Spiritual Force was unable to penetrate through it. Obviously, there was a special Inscription Formation situated there.
"I wonder who will be the one to obtain token number one."
Many people spoke out.
Including the two Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort and the Blade Sect's Sword 13 and Saber 5, the group of experts of the older generation slightly anticipated who would be the first to come out from the Illusory Crypt.
At this moment, they were utterly unaware that a violet clothed young man that could come out at any moment was standing in the sky at the side of the exit of the Illusory Crypt since long ago.
"He's really slow."
Duan Lingtian who stood in the sky near the exit that was coiled by mist and waited for a few tens of breaths of time yet didn't see Zi Shang, and he couldn't help but frown.
Finally, Duan Lingtian noticed movement in one of the passageways that led here, and waves of swift howls of the wind were coming from there.
Swoosh!
A figure instantly flashed into the underground palace, and it drew Duan Lingtian's gaze at the first possible moment.
"Zi Shang!"
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a cold smile as he looked at the familiar face that had a strand of black colored flame brand between his brows, and his gaze stared fixedly at this person that he'd been waiting for a long time.
Meanwhile, Zi Shang had already arrived nearby the pile of command tokens, and his expression went grim when he saw a command token was missing.
"Where's the number 1 token? There's actually someone that's even faster than me? "
An aged, hoarse, and ghastly voice sounded out from Zi Shang's mouth, and it was filled with disbelief as if he didn't believe that someone was able to pass through the Illusory Crypt before him.
At the first possible moment, Duan Lingtian was able to determine that the current Zi Shang was possessed by the soul of the expert that seemed to be Emperor Wu.
"Old Fellow!"
Duan Lingtian sneered when he heard Zi Shang, and he completely exposed his figure that was concealed at the side of the exit that was covered in mist.
At the same time, a stone tablet appeared in his hand, a broken stone tablet.
The stone tablet was densely inscribed with complicated words that were difficult to understand, and it caused others to be unable to figure them out.
Duan Lingtian's cold laughter had just finished resounding out when Zi Shang had already turned around, and his pair of lusterless eyes flashed with a trace of fear.
"It's actually you, kid … How could you possibly be faster than me?"
