Ye Xing had already broken the record of the Starfall Sect by passing the third floor. No one knew if there was a fourth floor in the Starfall Hall.
Now it seemed that there was.
When he reached the fourth floor, the notification didn't sound. Instead, Ye Xing saw … a tortoise!
Yes, it was a tortoise!
Ye Xing's eyes widened as he stared at the tortoise. It was a huge tortoise that was several meters long.
The first three floors of the Starfall Hall were empty. Only when the notification said that the trial had begun would a trial target appear.
However, there was actually a huge tortoise on the fourth floor. Ye Xing was surprised and shocked.
What surprised Ye Xing even more was that the huge tortoise was alive. When it saw Ye Xing arrive on the fourth floor, it immediately lifted its head.
When it lifted its head, it was two meters tall. It was even taller than Ye Xing.
Then, the huge tortoise crawled towards Ye Xing.
Ye Xing's expression froze, as if he was facing a great enemy. He scanned the tortoise with his super brain, but he couldn't tell what level it was. It was terrifying.
When the tortoise was about ten meters away from Ye Xing, Ye Xing was even more shocked.
The huge tortoise looked at him and spoke, "I've waited seven hundred years. Finally, a decent one has appeared."
The huge tortoise spoke human language. How was this a demonic beast? It was a freaking monster!
Ye Xing had never heard of a demonic beast that could speak on the Starfall Continent. Therefore, when the huge tortoise spoke, it gave him a fright.
Ye Xing's state of mind was extraordinary. He calmed down in the blink of an eye and asked the huge tortoise, "You … what kind of monster are you?"
Although he felt a little guilty, Ye Xing didn't take half a step back. In his opinion, the huge tortoise's level couldn't be determined even with his super brain. He only knew that it was very powerful. If it really wanted to attack him, it would be useless no matter how far he retreated.
The huge tortoise looked at Ye Xing indifferently. Then, it stood up.
The huge tortoise that was several meters long was as tall as an ordinary house when it stood up.
"Oh!" Ye Xing opened his eyes wide and cried out in surprise.
It was his first time seeing such a huge tortoise. It was also his first time seeing a talking tortoise. It was also his first time seeing a tortoise that stood up on two legs.
This was a freaking Ninja Turtle!
The huge tortoise that stood up gradually shrank to the size of a human, and its appearance also changed to that of a human.
Ye Xing, who had the thought process of an Earthling, almost fainted. It could speak and transform. This was truly a great monster, a tortoise spirit!
The big tortoise turned into a small old man. Two long red whiskers hung from the corners of his mouth. He had a small head and small eyes. He looked very wretched.
"Ahem …!"
The tortoise old man coughed and said, "You should be more used to this body. But I haven't used it for more than seven hundred years. It feels a little strange!"
Although the tortoise old man's appearance was wretched and strange, Ye Xing felt much more relaxed looking at him than looking at the talking and standing tortoise.
Ye Xing looked at the tortoise old man in surprise and said, "You … you've lived for more than seven hundred years?"
More than seven hundred years was not a short period of time. It had only been more than seven hundred years since the establishment of the Falling Star Sect.
The lifespan of a Perfected Person was only two hundred years. Seven hundred years was the total lifespan of several Perfected Persons.
"More than seven hundred years? Haha …! "
The tortoise old man shook his head and said, "I haven't changed into a human for more than seven hundred years. I've already lived for 3,800 years."
Ye Xing was stunned. 3,800 years …
Seeing this, the tortoise old man chuckled and said, "Our tortoise race is blessed by the heavens and has a long lifespan. This is not something your human race can compare to. Even the king of the human race can only live for a thousand years!"
An old tortoise that had lived for 3,800 years. Ye Xing was still shocked. If it was on earth, what kind of concept was 3,800 years? It was simply returning to a primitive society.
Ye Xing had too many questions about the Stellar Hall. Now it seemed that this old tortoise had lived for so long, so he must be very clear about the origin of the Stellar Hall.
"This Wu … Wu … Senior Tortoise!"
Ye Xing wanted to ask the tortoise old man, but he didn't know how to address him, so he called him Senior Tortoise.
The tortoise old man interrupted Ye Xing's words, "Just call me Master Tortoise!"
"Tortoise … Master?"
Ye Xing's pupils dilated as he yelled out. The name Master Tortoise was really …
Thinking that this world was completely different from earth, there probably wasn't a professional name like Master Tortoise. Therefore, this should be a respectful name. Ye Xing felt relieved.
"Master Tortoise!"
Ye Xing asked the tortoise old man for guidance, but when he called out the two words' Master Tortoise ', he sweated in his heart, "May I ask how the Stellar Hall came about? Why are there so many treasures in here? Why did this secret realm space come to the Star Continent …? "
The tortoise old man shook his head and said, "Your current mission is not to find the answers to these questions, but … to complete the Stellar Hall trial. When you can complete the Stellar Hall trial, even the entire Stellar Hall will be yours. I will tell you everything, but you have to prove that you have the qualifications first. You are the only person who has reached the fourth floor of the Stellar Hall in more than seven hundred years. You have the chance to obtain the Stellar Hall!"
Ye Xing said in surprise, "The Stellar Hall trial isn't over yet?"
Seeing the tortoise old man, Ye Xing thought that the trial was over. However, hearing the tortoise old man's words, it was obvious that it was not!
The tortoise old man said, "The goal of the fourth floor trial is a warrior who is three realms higher than you. The evaluation of the results is different from the first three floors. There are no seven grades, only success or failure. If you succeed, you will receive the complete Extreme Grade Spiritual Martial Inheritance, the Falling Star Incantation. Furthermore, you will also receive a rare elixir that can increase your cultivation as a reward. If you fail, you will receive nothing!"
Ye Xing frowned slightly. The warrior who was three realms higher than him was a Seven Star Martial Saint. This was a Royal Noble. Ye Xing did not have the confidence to win.
However, he was very confident that it would not be easy for a Seven Star Martial Saint to defeat him. He could use the speed of the Heavenly Bat Steps to engage in guerilla warfare. After an hour, he would be able to succeed in the third level trial and obtain the Extreme Grade Spiritual Martial Inheritance, the first three realms of the Falling Star Incantation.
However, the change in the evaluation of the trial results caused Ye Xing's wishful thinking to fail.
On the fourth floor, there were only two results. Success or failure. If he succeeded, he would receive an extremely generous reward. If he failed, he would receive nothing.
This greatly increased the pressure on Ye Xing.
Since he had come to the fourth floor, how could Ye Xing be willing to return empty-handed?
Whether it was the Extreme Grade Spiritual Martial Inheritance, the Falling Star Incantation, or the rare elixir that could increase his cultivation, Ye Xing wanted them all.
"No matter what, I have to pass the fourth floor!" Ye Xing gritted his teeth and said to himself.
Once he passed the fourth floor, Ye Xing's gains would allow him to stand at the front of all the warriors in the Qingyun area. After coming out of the Falling Star Secret Territory, he would definitely soar into the sky.
The turtle old man said, "You don't have to be discouraged. Although the difficulty of obtaining rewards in the fourth level of the trial has increased, there is no time limit. You can decide when to challenge the target for the trial. Moreover, as long as you persist for an hour in each trial, the target will automatically disperse. You have enough time to rest before you challenge the next time until you win the challenge! Of course, if you can't persist for an hour and lose to the target, it means that you have failed the trial. You will be transported out of the Starry Hall and will only have the opportunity to take the trial again the next time it opens. "
Ye Xing's expression lit up as he said, "You're saying that I can cultivate now and start the trial when I'm ready?"
The tortoise old man nodded. "That's right, but you have to remember that your trial target is three levels higher than you. If you break through to the fifth level of the Star Vortex Realm, then your trial target will become an Eight-Star Martial Saint."
Ye Xing said with joy, "I understand, but I can convert my Celestial Essence without changing my cultivation. I can convert my Pure Yuan Celestial Essence into the Falling Star Art Celestial Essence of the Middle-Grade Spiritual Martial Inheritance. Moreover, I can practice Martial Skills to improve my martial attainment and enhance my strength."
The turtle old man said, "As long as it's your own strength, you can improve it to whatever extent you want. However, although there is no time limit, I don't want to waste too much time. I will give you half a year. If you can't complete the fourth floor trial in half a year, then you can only be eliminated!"
