"These rare treasures are indeed very useful!"
After rushing past the graveyard, Fang Xing continued on his way. At the same time, he was secretly delighted.
He had discovered that the Dragon Seeking Clan had spent thousands of years researching and studying, and every conclusion they had come up with was very useful. For example, the method of using these rare treasures to fight against the Mortal Latch of the Ancient Road to Heaven was indeed correct. If he had relied on himself to force his way through the first level guarded by nine early-stage Golden Core Realm Black Cloud Knights, it was not impossible to pass, but even if he did, it would not have been easy.
However, relying on the power of Ancestor Feng Tian's magic sword, he was unharmed and had already passed the first level.
Because of this, he paid more attention to the other rare treasures. If the Ancestor Feng Tian Magic Sword could help him pass the first level, what about the others?
Along the way, he had already used the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror to repeatedly investigate the uses of the other rare treasures.
Not long after, Fang Xing stopped. After passing through the graveyard, he continued on for nearly a thousand miles. Finally, he found another strange phenomenon in front of him. About two or three miles away from him, strange stone pillars rose into the sky. From afar, it looked like a forest. At first glance, the arrangement of the stone pillars looked disorderly, but there was a certain order hidden within.
"The first level was a test of combat strength. Could it be that the second level is a test of divination?"
When he arrived in front of the stone forest, there was indeed a green stone tablet that explained the rules of breaking the formation.
The second level was a grand formation. Its profoundness was almost comparable to the grand formation in the abyss outside of the Primeval Ruins. However, unlike the grand formation, the base of the formation in the stone forest was made of stone pillars. This also meant that the eight gates of the grand formation would not be activated. Moreover, there was no need to identify it. It was clearly erected in front of one's eyes, and one only needed to deduce the principle of the grand formation to pass.
When Fang Xing saw this, he could not help but mutter to himself. This was his biggest shortcoming.
It would have been better if the Great Golden Crow had tested the art of divination, but if he had to do it himself, it would be like driving a duck into a carriage!
"From the looks of it, this Moon Ruyi Scepter is a unique treasure used here …"
Fang Xing put away the Reverence Heaven Magic Sword and took the Yue Ruyi in his hand. The Yue Ruyi was the Reverence Moon Clan's secret treasure. Initially, Yaoyao did not want to hand it over, but under Fang Xing's coercion, she had no choice but to hand it over. However, that old hag was not a good person. She purposely told him the wrong way to control the Yue Ruyi. Fang Xing did not expose her, but he used the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror to see through it.
This Moon Ruyi Scepter was neither an offensive nor a defensive Magic Treasure, but it was a rare perceptual Magic Treasure. After it floated in the air, it was like a crescent moon flying 300 feet above his head, emitting a faint moonlight. Everywhere the moonlight enveloped, everything would be sensed by Fang Xing, down to the finest detail. Through it, Fang Xing didn't even need to probe with his Divine Sense to be able to clearly understand the layout of the stone forest.
With this treasure, passing the second trial was even more ridiculous than smuggling.
Fang Xing almost laughed out loud. He tossed the Moon Ruyi into the air, and it shone brightly above his head. Then, he strode into the stone forest. Originally, once he entered the stone forest, his divine sense would be suppressed, and he could only rely on his own divination ability to deduce the correct path. However, under the probing of the Moon Ruyi, he directly understood all the structure of the stone forest, so it was nothing. He just strode in.
Of course, this was also due to the special characteristics of Yue Ruyi. If it was any other Enchanted Treasure, Shi Lin would have released its malevolent aura long ago and crushed Yue Ruyi to pieces. In fact, even Fang Xing, who was inside Shi Lin's body, would have been killed. However, Yue Ruyi Jade was a rare Enchanted Treasure. It did not give off the aura of an Enchanted Treasure, and what it gave off was only faint moonlight. As a result, it was able to fool Shi Lin's senses.
After passing the second trial without any surprises or danger, Fang Xing was beside himself with joy. He dashed towards the third trial like a wisp of smoke.
This time, he almost suffered a loss. When he arrived at the third stage, he was surprised to see a valley. At the entrance of the valley, there was a skeleton wearing a square scarf and holding a golden scroll in his hand. The skeleton was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His left arm was missing a piece of bone. In front of him, there was a sand table, and around it was a purple bamboo pole that seemed to be used as a writing brush.
As soon as Fang Xing got closer, he saw the words on the green stone tablet. It told Fang Xing that this trial was about calligraphy.
It was very simple. It was to use the purple bamboo pole to write the word "Edict" on the sand.
Edict was the word most commonly used by those who cultivated talismans. Every talisman had to end with the word "Edict".
After understanding the content of this trial, Fang Xing became excited.
He had cheated to pass two trials in a row, so he was a little uncertain. Now that he finally encountered a trial that he knew, wasn't it the time to show off Master Fang's skills? He immediately laughed and said to himself, "Although this book of mine was read by someone holding a knife to my neck, at least I know how to write these two lousy words!" He grabbed the bamboo pole and wrote the two crooked words on the sand table.
These two words were missing a stroke. Luckily, he remembered in the end and added it.
After he finished writing, he was very happy. He casually put the purple bamboo pole into his storage bag and waited for the trial to pass with a smile.
What he didn't expect was that after he finished writing these two words, the skeleton scholar's neck actually made a series of cracking sounds. He lowered his head and looked at the sand table with his empty eye sockets. Then, even the skeleton seemed to be stunned for a moment. It took a lot of effort to recognize the handwriting that looked like a crab crawling out. A wave of resentment suddenly sprang up from the top of his skull and filled the world.
This appearance was exactly like that of a scholar in the secular world who had been humiliated, and one could even faintly hear the angry rebuke of "How dare you brat!" coming from the void. Then, this resentment had already transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged man who was floating in the air like an immortal. He held a ruler in his hand and smashed it down towards Fang Xing's face. I'll beat you to death, you ignorant and incompetent little bastard …
"My mother …"
Fang Xing was scared out of his wits. He was very sure that the two words he wrote were not wrong. Why was this scholar's remnant consciousness so angry?
For a moment, he didn't think that for talisman masters, the test was the basic skill of calligraphy. The more quintessence one's calligraphy was, the stronger one's talisman skills would be. Therefore, talisman masters were often also calligraphy masters and liked to dress up as scholars. This was the reason why Fang Xing's handwriting looked like a crab crawling out. Although the scholar was only left with a skeleton, he still felt deeply insulted!
How dare you write such lousy words. If I don't beat you to death, I'm not a scholar anymore …
To some extent, Fang Xing could be considered to have made the dead come back to life.
Although Fang Xing didn't know what was going on, he knew that the skeletal scholar was angry. He was so scared that he ran away. As he ran, he took out Ancestor Feng Tian's magic sword and slashed at the skeletal scholar without even looking at it.
Boom!
The Fengtian Sword slashed out with a vigorous righteous aura that almost tore the sky apart.
Logically speaking, this slash should be able to destroy almost all evil aura. However, something unexpected happened to Fang Xing. Although the green-robed scholar had turned into a skeleton and was only left with a wisp of resentment, he still had a body full of righteous aura. Ancestor Fengtian's magic sword slashed over and collided with the ruler that he had created. The two actually destroyed each other. Although the scholar's illusion was slightly pushed back, it was not destroyed.
Fortunately, it bought some time for Fang Xing. As he ran, he hurriedly took out the White Bone Banner and tried to think of a use for it. Previously, the Fengtian Sword and the Moon Ruyi Scepter had played a big role in the first two tests. He believed that the White Bone Banner would be useful in the third test. However, he had already investigated it on the way here, but he could not figure it out.
This White Bone God Banner was an Imperial Beast God Banner. It could exert a certain amount of influence on beasts below the fifth rank. It could not be considered a good treasure, so Shi Nansha did not have much of a headache and handed it over. After Fang Xing held it in his hands, he felt a little troubled. This was because in the third stage, there was not even a single hair of a beast, let alone a beast. There was only a skeleton.
"Could it be …"
Amidst the urgency, Fang Xing suddenly saw that the main body of the White Bone Banner was actually a piece of sparkling jade bone. He suddenly remembered that the skeletal scholar's left arm was also missing a piece of bone. He vaguely connected the two points. Could it be that the White Bone Banner was not like the previous two tests where it directly borrowed the power of magical treasures? Could it be that this White Bone Banner was not like the previous two tests where it directly borrowed the power of magical treasures?
At this moment, the resentful aura of the skeletal scholar was fiercely charging over with the ruler in his hand. Without any time to think, Fang Xing quickly took out the White Bone Banner.
Whoosh!
The White Bone Banner flew into the air. The banner fluttered and a green light shone brightly, enveloping the area.
Something unexpected suddenly happened. The illusionary scholar that even the Fengtian Sword couldn't block actually stopped and looked at the White Bone Banner with bright eyes. More accurately, he looked at the sparkling white bone on the White Bone Banner. Even the ruler in his hand was involuntarily put down. After a while, he suddenly pulled the White Bone Banner over with resentment.
"Pass!"
After the White Bone Banner was wrapped around the White Bone Banner, the scholar suddenly turned around and silently said these two words to Fang Xing. Then he turned around and flew back to the side of the valley. All the phenomena disappeared. When Fang Xing carefully approached the valley, he was surprised to find that the White Bone Scholar guarding the entrance had moved to the side, revealing a path that led straight to the valley.
The white bone on the White Bone Banner was also quietly embedded in the White Bone Banner's left arm.
"Damn, so the first two days were deceptive, and the third trial was a bribe …"
Fang Xing muttered to himself as he walked forward. According to Magu and the Young Master, the Ancient Path to Heaven had nine trials. Unfortunately, the treasures he stole from the Fengtian Tribe, Imperial Beast Tribe, and Moon Praying Tribe could only pass one trial. Now that he had used three of the treasures, he still had six trials to pass. What should he do?
His heart stirred and his gaze fell on the copper mirror behind him. Could it be that he would have to rely on it for the last six trials?
