On the other side, a stick of incense burned, and the last ashes fell.
When the time was up, all the discs suddenly stopped moving. Then, they quickly retreated back to where they came from.
"You have been eliminated," the Sacred Shrine Spirit said.
"This is not fair!" Those who did not pass the hundred thousand meters in the time of incense shouted.
"When my master was alive, he was an expert in the Dao of Divination. Naturally, the successor must have exceptional divination abilities," the Sacred Shrine Spirit explained simply. "This test is to test your divination abilities. It has nothing to do with your strength. If your divination abilities are not up to standard, leave quickly. Otherwise, I will not be polite."
The last words of the Sacred Spirit were extremely cold and contained a trace of murderous intent.
No matter how unwilling they were, these people could not continue to stay. They could only turn and leave.
They looked at the few people on the other side with envy and jealousy.
Outside the Sky Ancient Sacred Shrine, there were a hundred people. Coincidentally, there were a hundred people.
In other words, there were only a hundred people who had passed through the hundred thousand meters of natural chasm in the time it took for an incense stick to burn. He was one of them, and also the first to pass. Apart from him, there were fourteen peerless experts. As for the last ones, most of them were high-level Saints, a few were mid-level Saints, and even fewer were low-level Saints.
Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian, and Lian Hongyun did not pass. Their performance was not bad, because they all had monstrous talent. However, their levels were too low, which limited them. They did not have an exceptional soul like Chu Mu. In the end, they were ten thousand meters behind and could not move forward.
As for the other people of the Ancient God Sword Alliance, the leader Yang Fan and the deputy leader Xing Liang were in the lead. Xing Liang was only a few thousand meters behind, while Yang Fan passed the moment the incense burned out. It was very dangerous.
Of the thirty people of the Ancient God Sword Alliance, only Chu Mu and Yang Fan passed.
"Junior, what is your name?" Zheng Li walked over with large strides. His expression was extremely cold, and killing intent suffused the depths of his eyes. It was like a whirlpool that could shatter one's mind. If it was anyone else who was stared at by Zheng Li like this, they would definitely panic and tremble.
However, Chu Mu did not. His will was far superior to others. Furthermore, Zheng Li's Yuan Spirit and cultivation had been suppressed, so the deterrent force of his gaze had been greatly reduced. He was unable to affect Chu Mu at all.
"Chu Mu," Chu Mu replied in a calm tone.
This wasn't out of everyone's expectations. After all, between a Two Star Martial Saint and a peerless expert, it was obvious who was stronger. Unless one had a screw loose in his head, he wouldn't deliberately go against a peerless expert. Especially a peerless expert who killed without batting an eyelid.
If it was the old Chu Mu, he might not have answered Zheng Li's question. Instead, he might have asked, "Why should I tell you?" Or something like that. However, having comprehended a deeper level of the sword, he knew that the sword was not unbending. An appropriate bending would make the sword's counterattack more powerful.
Furthermore, he was the master of the True Sword Sect. If he went against Zheng Li, such a vicious person would most likely target the True Sword Sect and bring unnecessary trouble to the True Sword Sect.
In Chu Mu's perception, this Zheng Li's strength was even stronger than Dugu Chong's. Although the current True Sword Sect had the protection of the Azure Water Empire, it was still an external force. It could be borrowed, but it couldn't be borrowed often.
The strong had to be strong.
"Not bad. I'm beginning to be interested in you, ant." Zheng Li smiled viciously, "Remember, don't be in a hurry to leave after leaving the sacred hall. Otherwise, no matter where you are, no matter who your backer is, I will find you."
Chu Mu only looked at Zheng Li and did not reply.
Zheng Li did not say anything else. His gaze moved away from Chu Mu's face and looked at the majestic Sky Ancient Sacred Hall not far away.
Looking at the sacred hall at such a close distance gave Chu Mu and the others a strong visual impact. It was vigorous and majestic, like an immemorial mountain standing on the ground. It made everyone who stood before it feel insignificant.
Even though there were more than ten peerless cultivators, they still felt small and insignificant. It was a rare feeling for them, but it still made them excited. As expected, only a Holy Emperor level treasure could give them such a feeling.
Because a Saint Emperor level treasure was comparable to a Saint Emperor to a certain extent.
"How did you provoke him?" Yang Fan walked to Chu Mu's side and transmitted his voice.
"Maybe it's because I'm the first to pass," replied Chu Mu.
"Be careful from now on," Yang Fan said.
"You too," Chu Mu replied.
They did not pay much attention to their conversation, because they were both looking at the sacred hall.
"First, I would like to congratulate everyone." The Sacred Spirit's vigorous voice sounded again. "You have obtained the qualifications to enter the sacred hall, but the inheritance left behind by my master can only be obtained by one of you. So, who among the hundred of you can obtain the inheritance?"
This sentence immediately made everyone's heart burn. They had all come for the inheritance of the Sky Ancient Sacred Emperor.
"Next, I will explain the rules. Take note, I will only say it once," the Sacred Spirit said. The Sacred Spirit said, "After entering the Divine Temple, you will become opponents, and each of you will receive some points. I will randomly pick two of you to fight against each other. The winner will receive the opponent's points, and the loser will have to depend on your luck. Those who are still alive will be sent out of the Divine Temple. Remember, you can admit defeat. In addition, let me remind you that once you have ten points, you can draw a prize. The prize is one of the many treasures left behind by my master. What you can draw depends entirely on your luck."
What you get depends on. "Hearing the Sacred Spirit's words, everyone was stunned.
Draw a prize?
They had lived for so many years, and had explored many secret domains and places of inheritance, but they had never encountered such a thing.
"Interesting." A peerless expert curled the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"It is indeed a little interesting."
"The Sky Ancient Sacred Emperor knows how to play."
"Of course, my master loved to play when he was alive. This is the rule he set." The Sacred Spirit smiled. "The one who fights to the end will obtain my master's inheritance."
"Now, the sacred hall's door is open for you. Enter the sacred hall, and see who is the fated one with my master, and who will obtain my master's inheritance." The Sacred Spirit's words were full of provocation, making everyone's blood boil uncontrollably.
With a boom, the doors of the Sacred Hall, as lofty as an ancient mountain, opened. In that instant, all one hundred people were shocked, and they all looked at the opened doors.
More than ten peerless experts wouldn't be modest at all. The more they reached this level, the more they understood that they had to fight when they needed to. If they played with grace, they might lose the opportunity. This was a lesson that many of them had learned.
Although their primordial spirit and cultivation were suppressed, as peerless experts, they still possessed means that Saints couldn't compare to. In an instant, they burst forth with astonishing speed, and instantly overtook the crowd, taking the lead again.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten peerless experts rushed into the sacred hall with different postures. After two or three breaths, the others also rushed into the sacred hall. When the last person entered the sacred hall, the sacred hall's door closed once again.
Those who entered the sacred hall quickly discovered that the others had disappeared, and only they were left.
Immediately, their eyes lit up, and they found themselves in a spacious room. One of the walls was transparent, and they could see the scene outside. It was a circular platform.
Looking forward, they could see the other transparent walls behind the platform, as well as the people behind the walls.
If their eyes could jump out of their respective rooms, they would find that each of them was in a room. There were a total of a hundred rooms, and they formed a circle. In the center was a huge circular platform.
Fortunately, although each room was spacious, it was big enough, and it didn't make people feel oppressed or restrained.
"Everyone, welcome to the sacred hall. Master's game is about to begin." The Sacred Spirit's voice sounded in the air, and into everyone's ears, "Now, I will choose two of you at random to be your opponents."
"Then, which two will you choose?" Although the Sacred Spirit's voice was vigorous, it gave people a childish feeling, "Let's use the big wheel to decide."
After that, a huge wheel appeared on the circular platform. On the wheel, there were a hundred areas, and there were numbers from one to one hundred.
Two red needles pointed in different directions.
Immediately, as if two invisible fingers were using force to move the two needles, the two red needles spun quickly, dazzling and difficult to distinguish.
After a dozen breaths, the speed of the red needles slowed down rapidly.
Finally, the two needles stopped. One of them pointed to 18, and the other pointed to 36.
"Number 18 and Number 36, congratulations," the Holy Spirit said. Shortly after, the transparent walls of Room 18 and Room 36 disappeared.
The two quickly walked out of their rooms, and with a leap, they arrived on the circular platform.
These two people were both at the peak of the Three Star Saint level. They should be at the level where their cultivation was suppressed. If they fought at the same level, it was unknown who would win and who would lose.
Number 18 pulled out her sword. It was a Heaven Piercing Saint Sword, and it wasn't easy to get a spiritual sword.
Number 36 didn't take out any weapon, but he wore a ring inlaid with a fiery red gem on his finger, and it emitted a scorching aura.
Number 18 attacked first, and a huge crescent-shaped sword Qi slashed out. It was as if she wanted to cut the platform in half like a cake, and attacked Number 36.
Number 36 took a step diagonally, and narrowly avoided the huge sword Qi. He stretched out his right hand with the ring, and his five fingers bent. His palm caved in, and a touch of red appeared in his palm …
