"Why don't we dig down and take a look?" The White Dragon Sister suggested.
The Chixiao Sword disagreed. "There's nothing to dig in the temples of the bald monks. They like to use temples to suppress great demons and ancient devils, and then use Buddhist teachings to purify the demons or ancient devils. This is especially true for ancient temples. If you dig ten of them, nine out of ten will be filled with ancient devils, evil beings, and the like. It's very unlucky. Sometimes, it wouldn't be surprising even if a Ninth Stage Ancient Devil popped out. "
Song Shuhang pondered seriously.
Senior White wouldn't land in a place without treasures … He had teleported and landed on the ice layer of this temple. Now, he had teleported out of the Inner World and appeared in this temple.
Song Shuhang was even more certain that there were treasures hidden in this temple.
However, he really couldn't find where the treasures were. Even the White Dragon Sister and the Chixiao Sword couldn't sense the aura of the treasures.
Both the White Dragon and the Chixiao Sword were existences that involved the realm of 'Immortals'.
Even they couldn't sense the treasures. There was indeed something strange about this ancient temple!
[Actually, if I carry Senior White around and throw him out … there should be a high chance that I can find the hidden location of the treasures.]
Suddenly, a terrifying thought appeared in Song Shuhang's mind.
It was mainly because he remembered the scene of Senior White's clone using Senior White's true body as a hidden weapon.
[No, no. If I do that, I'll definitely die a horrible death.] Song Shuhang shook his head hard and threw this terrifying thought out of his mind.
After Senior White's clone threw her true body as a hidden weapon, she received her retribution not long after.
Therefore, he couldn't court death like this.
If this kind of courting death was placed in a TV series, she wouldn't survive even one episode.
"Control, I must control myself. I'm going to live until the finale, and I'm even going to live until the sequel, "Song Shuhang murmured.
The White Dragon: "…"
Chixiao Sword: "…"
"If it really doesn't work, I can only use my ultimate skill." Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and took out his treasured saber Broken Tyrant, placing Senior White on top of it.
"What ultimate technique?" Senior Chixiao Sword asked curiously. Its sword body floated up and floated in the air.
"Great Hemorrhage!" Song Shuhang let out a loud shout. He retracted the fingertips of the Defiant Whale Warrior Glove on his right hand, and pressed his fingertips against the ground of the ancient temple.
The secret appraisal technique was activated.
As long as he obtained the intelligence and clues of this ancient temple with the secret appraisal method, he would be able to find the 'treasure' according to the clues. He would not be like a headless fly without a clue. It would be even better if he could identify the location of the treasure in one go.
Golden Runes emerged from Song Shuhang's eyes and landed on the ground of the temple.
There were dozens of wounds on Song Shuhang's right hand, and blood spilled out.
This ancient temple had a long history … The more it was so, the more expensive the appraisal would be.
Song Shuhang did not dare to use his full strength to appraise the treasure. He controlled the consumption of the appraisal technique … If the price of the appraisal was too high, he would forcibly stop the secret appraisal technique.
As his realm increased, his mastery of the secret appraisal technique also became stronger. Now, he no longer had to worry about accidentally appraising something extremely terrifying and spitting out too much blood to death.
"Your Great Hemorrhage gives me the creeps every time I see it," Senior Chixiao Sword said. It was too strange for a person to suddenly spit out blood for no reason.
"But it's very effective." Song Shuhang chuckled. After saying that, he suddenly thought of something. "Right, I should have activated the smoke mode just now. That way, the blood that I spit out wouldn't go to waste. That was a mistake."
White Dragon Sister: "…"
Chixiao Sword: "…"
The golden Runes turned into a reversed clock, and the clock kept spinning. In the end, they turned back into golden Runes and returned to Song Shuhang's eyes.
Then, the result of the appraisal technique appeared.
[This is an ordinary rock formed by the cooling and condensing of magma two billion years ago. It was brought back by the little monk of the Stars Temple 10,000 years ago. He cut it into a stone slab and laid it on the ground of the temple. Due to the protection of the Stars Temple's protective array formation, it has been kept fresh, as if it had just been cut. It seems that … it still has the little monk's body temperature.]
Then, there was nothing else.
Song Shuhang: "…"
White Dragon Sister asked, "How was it? Did you get any useful information?"
"Did you find any clues about the treasure?" Senior Chixiao Sword also asked.
Song Shuhang remained silent and looked up at the sky.
I wanted to appraise the information about the entire temple, but after spitting out so much blood, I only got information about a stone slab.
Also, why does it still have the little monk's body temperature?
Seeing that Song Shuhang was speechless, White Dragon Sister asked, "Did the Great Hemorrhage Technique fail?"
"Yes, I got some information. The name of this temple is' Stars Temple '. I don't have any more information for now. Seniors, have you heard of this temple? "Song Shuhang replied.
Chixiao Sword rolled its blade. "I've never heard of it."
"I've never heard of it either. There are thousands of branches of the Buddhist Sect, and the names of temples are as numerous as the stars in the sky," White Dragon Sister replied.
Song Shuhang sighed. He used the healing technique on the Defiant Whale Warrior Glove to heal the wound on his arm.
Again!
This time, I'm going to use the Embodiment of Smoke to prevent blood loss and strengthen the effect of the appraisal technique to the greatest extent. I don't believe that I can't appraise more information about the Stars Temple.
The Embodiment of Smoke and Prince Phoenix Slayer's Liquefied Body were both very useful skills. When used together with the appraisal technique, the effect was amazing.
Song Shuhang closed his eyes and focused his mind on the demon core in his third dantian, preparing to activate the Embodiment of Smoke.
At this moment, the Buddhist voice appeared on the green lamp in the ancient temple again.
The blood that Song Shuhang had spilled on the stone slabs was expelled, just like how the dust in the temple was expelled.
The blood disappeared …
In the next moment, Song Shuhang felt that the world had changed.
His vision turned pitch-black.
This feeling, is it a spatial technique? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
There's a spatial array formation hidden in this' Stars Temple '?
"Shuhang!" White Dragon Sister's voice came from afar.
"Not good, he fell down," Chixiao Sword said.
Fell down?
It's not a spatial array formation.
Did I activate some kind of trap?
…
…
White Dragon Sister and Chixiao Sword's voices became further and further away, as if they had been isolated.
This Stars Temple is indeed strange.
Song Shuhang frowned slightly. He stretched out his hand. "Sun Finger!"
The Light of Merit condensed on his finger and shone brightly, providing an excellent illumination effect. Then, he realized that he was in a sealed secret room.
He was surrounded by stone slabs filled with Runes.
Is this the underground of the Stars Temple? A sealed place? This thought surfaced in Song Shuhang's mind.
Was it his blood that had caused the change in the green lamp and sent him underground?
What kind of ancient fiend is sealed under the Stars Temple? Evil?
Just as Song Shuhang was pondering, a faint light swept past Song Shuhang's body.
The light appeared so suddenly that Song Shuhang could not dodge it.
At the same time, when the light swept past his body, Song Shuhang got a familiar feeling — this light was the same as the light of the crystal pillar used to appraise the age of a cultivator during the Immortal Feast when it swept past his body.
"Fifth Stage cultivator, initial condensation of Jin Dan."
A message was transmitted from the light, and it entered Song Shuhang's ears in a way that was similar to a secret voice transmission. The voice of this message was not in Chinese. However, Song Shuhang could understand what it meant. It was another voice that had a translation effect.
"The crystal pillar of the Immortal Feast identified age, and this faint light identified cultivation level?" Song Shuhang pinched his chin and said.
Overall, the identification result of this faint light was relatively accurate.
There was nothing wrong with Song Shuhang being a cultivator who had initially condensed Jin Dan.
It had only been a few days since he condensed Jin Dan, and his whale core was still warm.
"Challenge begins."
But right at this time, another voice was transmitted to Song Shuhang's ears from the weak light.
Challenge?
The Runes on the surrounding stone slabs lit up.
Then, the background of the space where Song Shuhang was changed. After a few breaths, the place where Song Shuhang was standing turned into a vast grassland.
"3D projection technology?" Song Shuhang squatted down and stroked the grass under his feet.
It felt soft to the touch of grass and the smell of the grassland … There was even a faint strange smell of cow dung and sheep dung.
Illusory Reality?
This feeling was very similar to the special ability of a Seventh Stage Venerable, Illusory Reality.
Did the Runes in the secret room create a function similar to 'Illusory Reality'?
While he was thinking, a figure quickly flew over from the distance of the grassland.
It was a big ape with long fur all over its body. The top of the big ape's head was bald.
Hair loss?
No … it wasn't hair loss. It was shaved.
This was a big ape that had converted to Buddhism. It was wearing a monk's robe, so the hair on its head was shaved, not naturally bald.
After seeing this big ape, Song Shuhang's eyes lit up.
This was the standard appearance of a monkey after becoming a monk.
"Almsgiver, please advise me." After the bald ape ran in front of Song Shuhang, it put its palms together and bowed slightly — like the message transmitted by the light, the bald ape's voice also had a translation effect.
When the big ape stood up, it was tall. Song Shuhang only reached its chest.
"Advise? Then, do you want to fight? "Song Shuhang looked at the bald ape.
This big ape had the aura of a Fifth Stage.
However, its aura was still very rough. This was the realm of 'Beginner Fifth Stage'.
[Challenge, is it to challenge an opponent who is not much different from its own realm?] Song Shuhang thought.
"Roar!" At this time, the bald ape strode in front of Song Shuhang.
Obviously, this was a demonic cultivator who was used to fighting with its body.
The bald ape stretched out its hand and clenched its fist. Its fist was like a vajra, and it smashed towards Song Shuhang. As it punched, the power of the demonic core in its body erupted, and its fist was covered in a golden color, accompanied by waves of Buddhist chants.
Song Shuhang raised his hand slightly and blocked it.
Clang!
The bald ape's fist collided with Song Shuhang's arm, and a loud sound was heard.
The 《Steel Hands》 skill on Song Shuhang's arm automatically condensed, turning his arm into the color of black iron.
"Almsgiver, you have great strength." The bald ape said. As it spoke, it leaped up, and its four limbs bombarded Song Shuhang like a storm.
A Fifth Stage could levitate in the air.
The bald ape took full advantage of this. Its legs no longer had to stand on the ground, and they could be released to fuse into the attack.
In the face of the bald ape's violent attack, Song Shuhang was very calm.
He used the 《Virtuous Man's Ten Thousand Mile Walk》 movement technique and retreated rhythmically. At the same time, his hands waved lightly, seemingly slow, but all of the ape's attacks were blocked.
"Is this the attack of a Fifth Stage beginner?" Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Other than the 《Steel Hands》 and 《Virtuous Man's Ten Thousand Mile Walk》 movement techniques, Song Shuhang didn't use any other techniques or martial arts.
He only stretched out his hand, as if he was playing a game of whack-a-mole, and slapped away all of the bald ape's attacks.
Moreover, in Song Shuhang's eyes, the bald ape's attack speed was very slow.
Song Shuhang's Eye Aperture talent, "Bullet Time", was showing its amazing effect at this moment.
After a few hundred attacks, the bald ape panted and stopped.
It looked at Song Shuhang in disbelief. "Almsgiver, did you really just enter the Fifth Stage Realm?"
"I guarantee it," Song Shuhang said.
"Almsgiver, what a terrifying martial arts technique. Are you a Body Tempering cultivator?" The bald ape said, "In this case, I'm completely no match for you in close combat. Now, this is my final attack!"
The bald ape suddenly opened its mouth, and a beam of light shot out from it.
Energy attack?!
When it came to energy attacks, Song Shuhang had an extremely powerful talent — Evil Art, [Good Teeth, Good Appetite]. It could swallow an energy attack and return it twice as much.
Song Shuhang opened his mouth slightly …
But he immediately gave up on the idea of using this talent.
This beam of light came from the bald ape's mouth … If he used the "Good Teeth, Good Appetite" talent, wouldn't he be swallowing the thing it spat out?
So … come out, Saber Intent Armor!
"Boom ~"
The beam of light hit Song Shuhang's body, and a dazzling light exploded.
The light from the explosion dissipated, and the bald ape squinted its eyes.
On the grassland, there was a huge pit.
In the pit, Song Shuhang crossed his arms.
The Saber Intent Armor was draped over his body, protecting him tightly.
"Armor Intent!" the bald ape said in a low voice, and then it was convinced.
Compared to willpower like Saber Intent and Sword Intent, Armor Intent was much less popular. However, once Armor Intent was condensed, it would be very powerful.
"I lost," the bald ape said. "Almsgiver, you can continue to the next challenge."
"Next challenge?" Song Shuhang raised an eyebrow. It seemed like this was not the first time. "May I ask, Grandmaster, how many challenges are there in total?"
He was in a bit of a hurry …
"There are a total of 18 challenges. With almsgiver's strength, you can definitely challenge more than 10 times," the bald ape replied with its palms joined together.
"In that case, Grandmaster, how strong is the eighteenth challenge?" Song Shuhang asked after some thought.
The bald ape said sincerely, "The strength of the trial keeper will correspond to the almsgiver's strength. Therefore, the eighteenth trial keeper's strength should be at the peak of Rank-5 with nine dragon patterns, and just a little bit away from advancing to Rank-6. "
Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Grandmaster, can we not waste time? How about the next 17 keepers come together?"
