After passing the first three tests, Fang Xing was sure of one thing.
The father of the Dragon Seeking Hemp Maiden had been right about one thing. The Ancient Road to Heaven was not meant for humans.
After just the first three tests, he realized that if he relied on his own strength, other than the first test, he wouldn't be able to pass either of the following two tests. Not only did one need to be proficient in battle, but they also needed to be proficient in spell formations and talismans. Furthermore, they needed to have a very high level of skill in each. How many people like that were there in the entire Nan Zhan or Heaven's Origin, let alone himself?
Even more frightening was that there were six such tests ….
If Fang Xing were to encounter the person who set up such a perverted obstacle, he would have the urge to slash him with his sword twice.
But since he had already set foot on this path, there was no turning back. Fang Xing could only continue forward.
Very quickly, they arrived in front of a large bronze door. This door was actually a hundred zhang tall. Fang Xing stood in front of the door like an ant. At this moment, the bronze door was tightly shut, not even a crack could be seen. There was a beast head embedded on the door. It had a triangular forehead and scales on its face. At this moment, its eyes were tightly shut, but its mouth was wide open, as if it was waiting for someone to feed it.
In front of the door was a pill cauldron and a jade table. Upon closer inspection, Fang Xing realized that the pill cauldron and the jade table, as well as the spiritual medicines on the table, were all illusory. Next, he looked to the left of the door, and indeed, there was a green stone tablet. The words on it clearly stated that one had to use the illusory medicinal ingredients on the jade table to concoct an illusory pill, which would then be thrown into the mouth of the gatekeeper.
If the gatekeeper was satisfied with the pill, then the bronze door would open. If the gatekeeper was not satisfied, then it would pounce out and devour the challenger. The fourth test was a test of the challenger's pill concoction.
"Isn't this making things difficult for me? Making me concoct pills? I know how to eat pills …. "
Fang Xing was so vexed that he was scratching his head. He had come to the realization that the Ancient Road to Heaven really wasn't suited for him.
Just as he was thinking about whether or not he should randomly refine one to lure out the Gatekeeper Beast and kill it, he suddenly saw the Five Elements Treasure Mirror behind him emit light. Fang Xing was overjoyed. He knew he was going to cheat again. He hastily dodged to the side to see how the mirror could help him. However, he didn't expect the mirror to be so direct. A ray of light shot out and hit the Gatekeeper Beast's head.
The motionless beast head that was embedded in the bronze door seemed to have been awakened by the pain. It opened its eyes and let out a formless roar of anger. However, within the light, there was an indescribable pressure that came crashing down. Under this light, the beast head showed signs of melting. After struggling for a few breaths of time, it let out a low roar, as if it had submitted …
"Crack crack …"
The bronze door suddenly opened a gap, just enough for one person to pass through.
Fang Xing was shocked. He didn't know if he should go in or not.
The bronze mirror seemed to think that the door was too narrow. Another ray of light shot out.
"Roar …"
The Gatekeeper Beast was really afraid of it. It helplessly activated the bronze door and opened it halfway ….
"F * ck, I've struck gold …."
Fang Xing was speechless. Even he felt that the bronze mirror was too much.
The first two tests were deceptive. The third test was bribery. This fourth test was simply coercion!
However, Fang Xing didn't care too much about it. He hesitated for half a breath's time, then rushed behind the bronze door. At the same time, he turned his head and saw that the bronze mirror had indeed followed him out. Fang Xing's heart calmed down. At the same time, he was filled with endless doubts. Although he knew that the bronze mirror would have a strange phenomenon, he didn't expect it to be so mysterious ….
The magic of the bronze mirror continued, which made Fang Xing feel incredulous.
He finally understood why Grandmaster Heaven Abhorrence's copper mirror was the one with the least knowledge among the Heaven Abhorrence, Heaven Reverence, Moon Reverence, and Beast Taming Treasures that Magu and Young Master were fighting over. It was because … this treasure was too unique.
Along the way, it was like a hot knife through butter!
The fifth stage was an area that was similar to the area outside the Primordial Ruins. There were mountains and vegetation everywhere, and all kinds of powerful Ferocious Beasts lived there. Most of them were Class 5 Ferocious Beasts, and the most powerful Ferocious Beasts had reached Class 7. The requirements for this stage were almost insane. It required the person to tame all the Ferocious Beasts and extract their blood essence from their foreheads.
Under normal circumstances, this test was impossible to pass.
However, the miraculous power of the bronze mirror was vividly displayed at this moment …
Just as Fang Xing entered this area, the bronze mirror suddenly rose into the sky and shone brilliantly. At the same time, an unimaginably powerful aura enveloped the entire area. In the Direbeast Domain, the two Direbeasts that were charging at Fang Xing with surging momentum were so scared that their legs turned limp. They immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and lowered their heads, not daring to move.
After being stunned for a while, Fang Xing stepped forward in a daze and extracted the blood essence from the foreheads of the two Direbeasts.
After extracting the blood essence, the two Direbeasts turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated. Only then did Fang Xing realize that they were also illusions.
However, even if they were illusions, they were illusions refined by powerful Direbeasts using the Direbeasts' blood essence. The strength of the Direbeasts was exactly the same as the real thing.
If Fang Xing had to fight this group of Direbeasts alone, he would have no chance of winning. However, under the threat of the bronze mirror, he did not waste any energy …
Along the way, all the Direbeasts were shocked by the light of the bronze mirror. They allowed Fang Xing to extract the blood essence from their foreheads and turn them into smoke.
Within tens of thousands of miles, there were all kinds of Direbeasts. Along the way, Fang Xing extracted a total of 100 drops of Direbeasts' blood essence.
When he reached the end of this test, he extracted the blood essence of a One-Horned Kui Ox. The entire Direbeast Domain turned into smoke and Fang Xing passed the sixth test. Standing on a vast black land, he stood there in a daze for a full ten minutes before continuing his journey.
The sixth test was a Direbeast Domain.
Black lightning enveloped this part of the world. It constantly cracked the void and then reformed.
At the entrance of this test, there was also a green stone. On it, there was a spell called the Universal Thunder Manipulation Technique.
According to the record on the green stone, once the challenger learned this spell, he would be able to control the Direbeast Thunder. However, the time limit was only three days. In other words, the challenger had to understand this spell within three days. Even if he could not control the Direbeast Thunder, he had to be able to protect himself from the Direbeast Domain and safely pass the test. It was obvious that this was a test of the challenger's comprehension …
Originally, Fang Xing had some confidence in his own comprehension ability. However, he didn't have the chance to test it out. The bronze mirror directly rose into the air and propped up a domain that was enough to protect him safely through this domain. Fang Xing steeled his heart and used the bronze mirror's protection to pass through. Of course, before he left, he didn't forget to put away the stone tablet that recorded the technique. He would keep it for later and slowly cultivate it.
The seventh test was just a passageway. On both sides of the wall, there were stone carvings with ancient artistic conception …
Fang Xing walked between the two high walls, and when he looked over, he saw many vivid and lifelike images. Those images were the images of the stone carvings on the walls, but they were projected into Fang Xing's mind. In those images, Fang Xing saw an extremely powerful orthodoxy. It had once been extremely bright, ruling over the world, and tens of thousands of cultivators worshiped it. Even the Divine Prefecture, where the Dao was born, was illuminated by its light, making it appear dim … It was a orthodoxy that sat in the world, but its light dimmed the entire world …
In the light, Fang Xing saw several scenes of immortals smiling as they ascended to the heavens. He also saw hundreds of thousands of disciples gathering in the sect to cultivate, refine pills, read books, fight spells, and other peaceful scenes. Spirit birds and strange beasts, True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes, flew through the air as they quarreled. The Black Tortoise lay lazily on the peak of a mountain and basked in the sun. The White Tiger fought in all directions …
Fang Xing had never seen the Celestial Realm before, but he felt that this was the Celestial Realm.
This was a supreme celestial scene that only the imagination of cultivators could imagine. It was a holy land for cultivators.
But all of this turned into smoke at a certain moment.
"The Taishang Orthodoxy defies the Heavenly Dao. Your sins cannot be forgiven …"
"Destroy the orthodoxy, slay the sect …"
"Use your blood to intimidate the tribes of the 33 heavens. The heavens cannot be disobeyed …"
A Heavenly Book flew over from the sky and descended above the sect. What followed was endless purple lightning.
Endless purple lightning crashed down, turning the entire Taishang Orthodoxy into a dead zone.
Some great divine arts practitioners roared in anger and went against the heavens to resist the purple lightning. They even wanted to destroy the Heavenly Book.
But under the purple lightning, no matter how strong the divine arts practitioners were, they could only nurse a grievance. Their souls dissipated, and their corpses fell like rain.
Fang Xing's soul trembled. Even though it was an illusion, he still saw the might of heaven in it.
The true might of heaven could annihilate everything. It could not tolerate anything. Other than death, nothing was left …
In the final scene, Fang Xing could only see nine elders dressed in different attires soaring into the sky at the same time. However, this time, they did not charge toward the Heavenly Tomes. Instead, they had solemn expressions as they joined hands to set up a great formation in the sky, sealing the Taishang orthodoxy that had already collapsed. However, even their great formation was protecting something, because when the great formation was completed, there was nothing left to protect within the orthodoxy …
After the nine elders finished setting up the formation, their souls dissipated. Only their roars echoed in the void.
"So what if the ten immortals are defeated? So what if the orthodoxy is destroyed?"
"My Dao is not lonely, my Dao is not withered, my Dao is not severed!"
"Sharpening the sword for a hundred thousand years, burying my undying fate, blocking you from crossing the pass of heaven …"
"In the future, those who wield the sword to bury the heavens will be my eleven disciples!"
"Buzz …"
Fang Xing, who was immersed in the illusion, was suddenly shrouded by a ray of light. He couldn't help but return to reality. It was the Five Elements Treasure Mirror. It was afraid that he couldn't withstand the pressure in the illusion, so it woke him up. But even so, Fang Xing's face was already covered in tears. He rubbed his eyes and sighed. "Oh my god, this is too touching …"
