Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Envoy Wu appeared on the stage.
"Is everyone ready? Then please prepare yourselves. I'll immediately open the doors to the palace for everyone."
Envoy Wu closed his eyes and drew in the air with his finger. Thin golden lines appeared in the air.
"Open!"
Following Innocents' final stroke, a complicated symbol shined with a dazzling light. The light shot towards the three palaces, and the flowing lights outside the palaces also began to shine brightly.
Soon, the fog that surrounded the palace slowly dispersed and finally opened up a path that led to the door of the palace.
Boom boom boom!
The three doors opened one by one. From the outside, the inside looked very ordinary. There was nothing special about it.
One figure after another charged into the different palaces, especially the blue and yellow ones. Everyone was like an arrow. There were too many monks and too little gruel. If they were late, they definitely wouldn't be able to enter.
Each palace was limited to ninety-nine people at a time. Since they dared to enter, they definitely wanted to obtain some good things. They definitely didn't care about the dangers.
People died for wealth, and birds died for food.
As long as they passed the three trials, they could choose any item from the treasury. Although it couldn't compare to Envoy Wu's palace, it was still very good.
Soon, after ninety-nine people entered the blue palace, the doors closed like lightning. At this time, those who hadn't entered were all sent flying by an irresistible force.
Even if they could enter in the next second, or even if they had one foot in the door, they were all sent flying back to the plaza. Then the yellow door also closed.
The people outside could no longer see what was going on inside. Those who were close to entering were extremely vexed. There were even some people who were confident in their cultivation. They looked at the red palace and struggled in their hearts, wondering whether they should go in or not.
However, those with higher cultivation bases weren't too worried. At the very most, the red palace wouldn't be full.
"Sir Fan, do you want to go in?" At some point, Pan Xuan had arrived by Sir Fan's side.
"No, I'll just stand guard outside. I hope you'll be able to obtain more inside." Sir Fan smiled and shook his head. He was only here to accompany them. There was no need to fight over things with them.
"You guys go in as well." Sir Fan looked at Ji Yi's group and pointed at the red palace.
"What?!" Gu Zheng and the others were stunned. Ji Yi hadn't wanted to fight with them. They just had to obediently wait to leave. They hadn't expected the other party's manager to also want them to go in.
"No, they're too weak. I'm afraid they'll just be throwing their lives away." Ji Yi's eye...... of the five people behind him were all mid Jin Xian.... of course, Ji Yi would consider going in the yellow or.
However, it was only red now. Ji Yi was afraid that something would happen to them if he let them in.
"It's fine if they don't go, but you must go in." Sir Fan rolled his eyes. He hadn't had any extravagant hopes that his entire team would be able to enter. Instead, he had allowed Ji Yi to enter.
.. Sir Fan's of his own eyes.............. of of. of his of his eyes.........
Sir Fan rubbed his chin. He felt that his idea was good, and he was sure that Ji Yi would go in for those people.
"General Ji, don't go. It doesn't matter if we die, but nothing must happen to you."
. "The five people behind him all talked at once. They would rather they go than let Ji Yi take the risk.
"Fine, I'll agree."
Sure enough, Ji Yi looked at the persuasion of his companions behind him. He couldn't let them grit their teeth and accept this proposal. He knew that the other party definitely wouldn't let him stand here and watch the show easily. Moreover, he knew that if he really obtained something, he would be handed over.
After giving a few more instructions, he walked into the red palace. When he passed by Gu Zheng, his heart didn't skip a beat. He treated Gu Zheng as if he were invisible. He'd never seen him before.
One after another, quite a few people entered the red hall. At this moment, Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan were already prepared. They directly followed behind Ji Yi and entered the hall.
"Is there anyone else? If not, I'll start closing the red palace."
Emissary Wu looked at the half of the crowd and nodded in satisfaction. His movement was very light. Everyone's attention was on the palace, so no one noticed.
Hearing Emissary Wu's final announcement, some Shura couldn't help but rush in. Although their cultivation didn't reach the minimum requirement, they thought that if they could pass, even if they couldn't, they'd be sent out when the time was up.
But in the end, there were only sixty or so people in the red palace. Five of them were at the peak: Gu Zheng, Pan Xuan, Ji Yi, and two other Shura.
Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan were together, Ji Yi was alone on the side, and the two Shura were also together. They were looking at them with hostility. If they were ranked in the top three, then the five of them had a high chance of making it.
Including Silent's team, there were less than ten people in the middle stage of Jin Xian. Their cultivations were one level lower. There wasn't even a single early stage Jin Xian.
The rest were all late stage Jin Xian. The chances of the top three coming out were too low.
The inside of the palace didn't look as shocking as the outside. The empty room was enough for a few hundred people to not feel crowded. A few stone pillars stood on both sides of the palace. There were no carvings of insects or beasts on them. It looked very simple and low-key.
As the palace closed, flashes of light appeared from the four corners. Mysterious runes were carved on the floor tiles.
Gu Zheng patted Pan Xuan's shoulder and gave her an encouraging look. Pan Xuan didn't know where her courage came from. She suddenly went up and hugged Gu Zheng. She pressed her head against Gu Zheng's chest and felt his heartbeat. Her face turned even redder.
Their actions caused everyone to look at them. They silently looked at Pan Xuan's blissful face and looked at Gu Zheng who didn't know what to do. They curled their lips in their hearts. It was like a flower stuck in cow dung.
Although Gu Zheng was obviously in disguise, the Asura had many strange personalities. Moreover, with Pan Xuan's reputation, no one suspected Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng felt Pan Xuan's hot and voluptuous body. His heart didn't move at all. Instead, it was filled with awkwardness. This was especially true when Ji Yi looked at him with disbelief. It was as if Gu Zheng's words in the valley were just perfunctory.
Gu Zheng didn't want to hug Pan Xuan, nor did he want to pull her away. He felt uncomfortable all over, and his face was filled with awkwardness.
Ji Yi naturally saw Gu Zheng's discomfort. Moreover, it looked like Gu Zheng was being forced. He thought that Gu Zheng was really lucky with women. Wherever he went, he would be treated differently by beauties. Looking at Pan Xuan's stunning eyebrows, he also felt that the two of them were a perfect match.
However, Ji Yi didn't show it. Instead, he looked at him with a strange expression, increasing the pressure.
Suddenly, a complicated vibration echoed in the air, but it didn't cause anyone any discomfort. As the sound in the air became louder and louder, a white light began to flash below them.
Suddenly, there was a bright light. Everything in front of everyone's eyes turned white, and they couldn't see clearly. Gu Zheng only felt a wave of dizziness. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had arrived at another scene.
At this time, Gu Zheng looked around, but he didn't see anyone. The ground was covered in lush green grass, full of vitality. Many unknown flowers were competing with each other, blooming with a delicate fragrance. As far as the eye could see, apart from a winding path leading to an unknown place, there were flowers and plants everywhere.
Looking outside, there was some white mist blocking their line of sight. They didn't know where this place was.
The hall itself was releasing a large-scale spatial spell. It looked like this place was most likely the periphery of the mountain range. It was impossible for this place to teleport them outside, as that would cost too much. The only possibility was that they were in the same place, and that was the world outside the mountain range.
It looked like this place was just artificially separated. There were many spaces outside the mountain range. Perhaps the Ancestor had transformed them into these trial mystic realms.
No wonder the Ancestor didn't allow anyone to cross the mountain range. It turned out that there was another world outside.
Now that the hall had separated them, he didn't know if anyone else was with him.
Gu Zheng stayed where he was and carefully observed his surroundings. He did not discover any danger, nor did he sense anyone else. Instead, there was an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility. Did he encounter an easy test right from the start?
With doubts, Gu Zheng directly walked towards the only path. Behind him was also a sky full of white mist, so there was only one path for him to move forward.
Slowly, the dirt path under his feet turned into stone steps. The terrain began to rise, and the surrounding mist was compressed to less than a few meters away.
He could faintly see flowers and plants hidden in the mist. Following the steps, Gu Zheng continued to walk unhurriedly.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he could only see a few meters in front of him. Apart from the stones under his feet, he could still see clearly. Both sides were shrouded in white mist.
Gu Zheng felt that he was surrounded by white mist. Gu Zheng immediately stopped, feeling that something was wrong. He vigilantly looked around, afraid that something would happen.
Gu Zheng stretched out his foot and carefully probed outside. His expression changed because there was no contact point under his foot. It was as if he was floating in the air.
A whirlwind suddenly appeared beside Gu Zheng, whistling to the side. To Gu Zheng's surprise, the nearby white mist was blown away by the wind.
Gu Zheng increased the power of the wind, and the white mist around him was blown away bit by bit, revealing the situation around Gu Zheng.
A small path appeared out of thin air, extending into the mist in front of him. It was the same behind him. Gu Zheng stood in the middle, and the bottom couldn't be seen. The dark scenery was very inconsistent with the surroundings.
Gu Zheng looked down and actually felt dizzy. His body involuntarily wanted to jump down, and his mind swayed.
Gu Zheng was shocked. He quickly bit the tip of his tongue and used the pain to wake up. He quickly turned his gaze away, no longer looking down.
Gu Zheng took out a Fire Dragon Stone and quickly shot it into the distance. But halfway there, a terrifying suction force came from below. The Fire Dragon Stone instantly changed direction and was sucked down.
Even Gu Zheng was caught off guard. His body swayed, and he was almost pulled down as well.
"Too scary." Gu Zheng was sure that if he rashly flew out, he would end up like the Fire Dragon Stone. Gu Zheng didn't want to know what was below.
Gu Zheng continued to walk forward, wanting to see if there was an end. After a few hours, the steps were still only for people to walk on. Unknowingly, the mist slowly surrounded him again.
Gu Zheng scattered the mist around him and frowned. He had no clue about his current situation. He could only make decisions based on his intuition.
Gu Zheng shot out beams of light from his hand. They whistled and shot to the side. Those beams of light didn't cause any abnormalities below and smoothly entered the mist.
Gu Zheng held his breath and focused his mind. He listened carefully. Everything was quiet. Even the sound he made was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no reaction at all. Thinking about it, it was like he had been swallowed up.
"I can't go any further." Gu Zheng thought to himself. If he continued walking, there would definitely be no end. Perhaps he had fallen into some kind of trap when he first came in.
Gu Zheng did what he thought. He turned around and slowly retreated. At the same time, he paid attention to the surroundings.
However, when Gu Zheng stopped for the first time, everything was still normal.
"Could it be that I was wrong? Is this a simple test of a person's patience and paranoia? " Gu Zheng couldn't make up his mind. However, he didn't stop walking. He crossed the previous place and continued walking in the direction he came from.
Just as Gu Zheng was feeling conflicted, there was a sudden change outside. The white mist suddenly became more turbulent. At the same time, a celestial sound rang out.
The sound was full of temptation. Gu Zheng felt his blood boil.
"It shouldn't be just this. This can't stop me from going back." With these changes, Gu Zheng wasn't worried. Instead, he was happy. These abnormal conditions proved that he was going in the right direction.
The turbulent white mist quickly turned into young girls wearing palace clothes. The moment they appeared, they began to dance in the air.
As the ethereal sound entered his ears, Gu Zheng couldn't help but look. These girls were all sixteen or seventeen years old, but they were all very beautiful. They were full of youthful vitality. They twisted their slender waists and smiled at Gu Zheng.
"Come, Young Master. I'm waiting for you here." A young girl's face was slightly red. She twisted her slender waist. The faint sound of decadence entered Gu Zheng's ears.
Their bright eyes were full of love. It was as if Gu Zheng was their beloved lover. They all looked at Gu Zheng with fiery eyes. They stretched out their slender hands, waiting for their lover to meet up with them and travel together.
Although Gu Zheng was prepared, under the influence of the celestial sound, one of his feet was lifted. His eyes were confused. He wanted to go over. He couldn't bear to see his woman alone.
In the next second, Gu Zheng felt a sharp pain in his head. The precautions he had taken were effective, and he woke up from his confused state. Looking at his foot that was about to step down, he hurriedly retracted it while drenched in cold sweat.
It was too scary. He had only taken one more look, and he was almost bewitched. He held his mind and covered his ears at the same time. He didn't want to look in that direction. At the same time, he quickened his steps, wanting to leave that place.
"Young Master, are you so cruel that you don't want me anymore?" An unusually miserable voice penetrated his ears and entered his mind. Gu Zheng unconsciously turned his head to look at the source of the voice.
The beautiful face was right in front of him. The sad and sorrowful eyes were staring at him. There was even a crystal clear teardrop at the corner of her eye that could drip down at any time.
The young girl wrinkled her nose and kept twitching. Her small mouth was tightly shut. It was as if he had done something that angered the heavens and abandoned this girl.
She was the one with the most unique temperament among the group of girls. At this time, she was already close to the side of the path. Gu Zheng could touch her with his hand.
"Young Master, don't abandon me. I'm willing to give up everything for you." The resentful voice sounded again. The young girl looked at Gu Zheng with extreme sadness. It was as if Gu Zheng had become the heartless man who abandoned his wife and child.
Gu Zheng didn't realize that he could no longer block the voice from the outside world. He couldn't block the erosion of the young girl's cries. Looking at the somewhat sorrowful eyes of the young girl in front of him, his mind couldn't help but become absent-minded. He subconsciously nodded.
The young girl looked at Gu Zheng. It was as if Gu Zheng had promised her. The sorrow on her face had disappeared. A teardrop fell from the corner of her eye. It was a teardrop of joy.
"Young Master, do you still remember the vow we made under the moonlight?" The young girl's eyes were filled with gentleness. It was as if she was recalling the beautiful times she had with Gu Zheng. A sweet smile bloomed on her face again.
"You said that you would be with me forever. You would never give up."
"I remember. That was us …" Gu Zheng replied in a daze. He thought of the happy times he had with her. However, his expression suddenly changed. His face was filled with pain. He hugged his head with both hands and looked like he was struggling.
"You … You aren't …" Gu Zheng's lost eyes flashed with light from time to time. It was the clarity of his heart. It wanted to pull Gu Zheng out of the illusion.
In Gu Zheng's mind, the young girl was the woman he loved. At this moment, she was waiting for him to bring her home.
However, from time to time, the stirring in his heart told him that all of this wasn't real. Gu Zheng felt a terrible headache.
"So you're here. You made me look for you." A ferocious-looking man with a broad body appeared behind the young girl. He grabbed one of the young girl's hands.
"You dared to run away. This time, I'll teach you a lesson." The strong man held a long whip in his other hand. He kept waving it in the air, leaving behind afterimages. The sound of cracking could be heard.
The strong man wanted to pull the young girl back. However, the young girl struggled with all her might. For a moment, they were stuck in a deadlock.
