Inside the guest hall, the three elders sat in the air in a lotus position. Like three immortals, they were mysterious and their Qi was terrifying.
The one on the left was the Third Elder, the one on the right was the Second Elder, and the one in the middle was the Leader Elder. All of them were monsters who have lived for thousands of years and were the strongest members of the Pavilion of Three Lives.
However, against the shapeless Qi of the three powerhouses, Ling Xian remained calm and collected, as if nothing had happened.
His demeanor made Xiang Jiu Chen and the Leader Elder look at him with admiration.
"As long as you have no ill intentions towards the Pavilion of Three Lives, you will pass the test of the Stone of Truth."
The Leader Elder smiled warmly. Then, a palm sized milky white stone appeared in midair, emitting an eerie and mysterious atmosphere.
This was the Stone of Truth, one of the rare stones in the world.
This stone has the ability to interrogate people and is often used to find out spies. Even the slightest bit of ill intentions cannot be hidden from the Stone of Truth.
"Hmmph, if you have ill intentions towards the Pavilion of Three Lives, then you cannot hide it from the Stone of Truth. When that happens, I will kill you."
Third Elder hissed, "So I suggest you leave as soon as possible. Since you came here to deliver a message, I will let you go. If you insist on trying and the Stone of Truth finds out that you have ill intentions, then your life will be forfeit. "
"I have no ill intentions, why would I be afraid of the Stone of Truth?"
Ling Xian glared at the elder. He had no hatred towards the Pavilion of Three Lives, so naturally, he had no ill intentions.
"Alright, I sure want to see if you are a spy sent by another force," Third Elder said coldly.
"Alright, Ling Xian, please step forward and try." The Leader Elder smiled warmly.
Hearing this, Ling Xian didn't waste any more time. He walked up to the Stone of Truth.
"Clear your mind, I am about to begin."
The elder chanted an incantation. Immediately, the Stone of Truth began to emit light that engulfed Ling Xian.
Ling Xian's expression was calm as he allowed the strange energy from the Stone of Truth to invade his soul.
After some time, the Stone of Truth retracted its light and returned to its normal state.
This made Xiang Jiu Chen and the Elder smile. Because this meant Ling Xian had no ill intentions towards the Pavilion of Three Lives.
"I guess I've passed."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He first glanced at Third Elder, then glanced at Second Elder, "I wonder what else you two have to say?"
Hearing this, the two Grand Elders fell silent.
What else was there to say?
The truth was before their eyes. Ling Xian truly had no ill intentions towards the Pavilion of Three Lives. Why would they make a fuss about this?
"Humph! You've passed this stage. However, the later stages will be enough to make you retreat." The Third Elder snorted coldly.
"That's right. The first two stages tested one's character, but the two of us tested one's ability."
The second elder sneered and said, "The duty of the Hidden Pavilion is to protect the sect and turn the tide in times of crisis. Therefore, the strength of the Hidden Pavilion Leader cannot be weak. The third test is combat strength. "
"Battle prowess …"
Ling Xian smiled. He was a genius who had reached four undefeatable realms and was undefeatable. It could be said that he was least afraid of testing his combat strength.
On this point, he had absolute confidence!
"Seeing that you are merely at the beginning stage of the Path Choosing Realm, I will not make things difficult for you. Your opponents are of the same level as you."
The second elder said coldly, "However, you better be careful. Or else I won't care if you die inside."
Then, he flapped around his sleeve and a three-floored pagoda appeared. At once, beasts howled one after another and the ground shook!
"Inside this pagoda, there are 10 beasts of the beginning stage of the Path Choosing Realm. If you can last for half an hour, then you pass." The elder said coldly.
"Half an hour isn't hard."
Ling Xian softly smiled. He was confident and at ease.
If there were 10 beasts of the intermediate stage of the Path Choosing Realm, then he naturally wouldn't be able to defend. But if there were 10 beasts of the beginning stage of the Path Choosing Realm, then to someone of the undefeatable realm like him, they were nothing.
Therefore, he was far too lazy to waste any more words. He lifted his legs and walked towards the small pagoda.
At this, the second elder coldly snickered, "I hope you can last for a few minutes. Or else it would be far too embarrassing."
"If you can't handle it, then don't force yourself. When the time comes, just tell me. Since you came here to deliver a message, I will save your life. "The third elder taunted.
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned. Though he understood why these two didn't want him to become the leader of the Hidden Pavilion, they were being far too aggressive.
As much as he was angry, he also had an idea, "Elder, if I may ask, are the beasts inside this pagoda all living beings with flesh and blood?"
"Of course. I spent a lot of time and effort to capture these beasts." The elder smiled proudly.
"So you value them a lot?" Ling Xian taunted.
"Of course. To capture these 10 beasts, I spent a lot of time and effort. Every single one of them is worth a fortune and is very valuable. "
The second elder clearly pointed out that he cared a lot about these 10 beasts.
"Very well."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Then, without hesitation, he lifted his legs and walked into the pagoda.
Then, he was met with an overwhelming amount of Qi. There were 10 of them and every single one of them was extremely violent and terrifying!
Ling Xian was fearless against this. He used his fists and the tri-colored flower began to spin. He began a war against the 10 beasts!
HOMM, HOMM, HOMM!
After a series of loud rumbles, Ling Xian's eyes shot out electricity and his attacks were ruthless. It was as if he was going all out!
Originally, he planned on holding on for half an hour. But the elder was too aggressive, which made him change his mind. He planned on killing all 10 beasts!
Then, the elder's heart would ache and he would be able to vent some of his anger.
Therefore, Ling Xian attacked with all his might. His fists cracked open the sky and cracked the ground. The 10 beasts were puking out blood and were exhausted!
Right now, the two elders who didn't like Ling Xian were conversing.
"I reckon that in a short while, this kid will be shouting for help."
"Haha, the way I see it, it won't take long. These 10 beasts of mine are not to be trifled with. Though they are not of the royal kind, they are still terrifying beasts. There is no way he will last more than half an hour. "
"That's right. The seat of the Hidden Pavilion cannot fall into the hands of an outsider. Aye, it's all because the ancestor set the rule that whoever has the token will be the Hidden Pavilion's leader. Or else why would we go through all this trouble? "
"It doesn't matter. He won't make it."
The two of them spoke with certainty. They didn't think Ling Xian could last more than half an hour.
Xiang Jiu Chen and the First Elder didn't have high hopes for Ling Xian either. Though they all knew that he was a monster with four undefeatable realms, the 10 beasts were not to be trifled with. If the 10 of them attacked together, who could defend against them?
At that moment, the pagoda trembled. Then, the door opened and a bloodied silhouette slowly walked out.
"Haha, did he escape because he knows he cannot defend?" The Second Elder laughed out loud, full of sarcasm and arrogance.
The Third Elder was the same. His face was full of arrogance.
However, in the next second, their arrogance froze on their faces. What replaced it was shock.
This was because Ling Xian rolled up his sleeve and tossed out 10 heads.
10 beasts' heads.
