There were all kinds of strange flowers everywhere in the Hundred Flowers Valley. Due to the special characteristics of the valley, they were all in full bloom. Now, the ground was swept up by a gust of wind. It didn't hurt the roots, but the beautiful flowers were blown away. Different petals fluttered in the wind.
They flew up with the cool breeze, looking like butterflies in the valley. The scene was like a dream. Chen Xi stood in the middle of it, like a beautiful flower fairy. He exuded an amazing charm that made people subconsciously sink into him. However, although the petals dancing in the sky were beautiful, they were also beautiful.
Amidst this beauty, there was a kind of lingering resentment of 'it was difficult to meet and difficult to part'. It formed a sad but beautiful scene, and there was also a lonely aura of withering flowers when the east wind came. This was a metaphor for the withering of life. The beauty was sad, and the wind was the wind of death.
All of a sudden, the sky full of petals formed a sea of flowers in mid-air. They slowly swept towards the Iron-Winged Mantis in front of him, towards Yang Xuan who was in a stalemate with the 'Flower-pinching Finger', and towards the hundreds of Thousand Beasts Sect disciples who had already arrived in the valley.
"Hiss!!"
The Iron-Winged Mantis was right in front of Chen Xi. Chen Xi stepped aside and very naturally avoided its sudden attack. Before the Iron-Winged Mantis could attack again, the sea of flowers in the sky had already swept over. The scene was very spectacular.
The Iron-Winged Mantis was a guardian spiritual beast that Yang Xuan had painstakingly cultivated. Like his life weapon, it would follow him for life. Once its master died, the guardian spiritual beast would most likely die with him. Under Yang Xuan's training, its intelligence was definitely not low. At the same time, from the ruthless and evil aura it exuded, one could feel that this mantis's strength was not below that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, its body was covered in a hard shell and its two front limbs were no different from two sharp sickles.
Yang Xuan and the Iron-Winged Mantis were equivalent to two Nascent Soul cultivators. If they fought, they would naturally have a great advantage.
But now, in front of this sea of flowers, it was like a broken boat in a vast ocean. The Iron-winged Mantis instinctively felt the threat of the sea of flowers in front of it. It waved its two pitch-black scythes like lightning, and countless Blade Qi burst out crazily in all directions. It fell on the flowers and trees, and immediately erupted with a terrifying power, cutting a terrible knife mark.
However, the true target of the scythe was the sea of flowers in front of Xiao Chen. Saber Qi surged out and tore through the air, giving off terrifying sonic booms. The seemingly solid black saber light swept wildly for several hundred meters in front of Xiao Chen. Countless petals were covered under the sickle.
However, strangely, when those flower petals were sliced by the sickle, it was as if those flower petals were illusory, like a mirage. The scythe and Blade Qi easily passed through the petals, but the petals were not damaged at all. Countless petals swept past and came before the mantis. It directly pierced through the body of the mantis.
Strangely enough, the flower petals couldn't be destroyed by the scythe. Instead, the moment the flower petals entered the mantis's body, they strangely disappeared, as though they had fused with its body.
"Hiss! — "
However, as soon as the flower petals entered the mantis's body, its blood-red eyes suddenly showed traces of pain and fear, and it opened its mouth to let out a shrill cry.
"Monster, what kind of sorcery is this? It can actually reduce Spiritual Essence and consume cultivation."
Yang Xuan and the Iron-winged Mantis's minds were connected. When the mantis roared, he already knew the horror of the sea of flowers. Every petal that entered Xiao Chen's body not only brought great pain to the mantis, but also the Spiritual Essence and cultivation in its body quickly disappeared in an instant. It didn't really disappear, but just consumed its Spiritual Essence.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the ferocious Iron-winged Mantis suddenly became an empty shell. In fact, the power in its body had been completely consumed in just a few breaths. If it wanted to recover, it couldn't be done in a moment.
Yang Xuan's face also changed in an instant. He never thought that a small Monster King in the remote Southern Barbarian Lands would be so difficult to deal with. First, it was the "Flower-pinching Finger" that forced him to passively defend. Then, it was the strange "Hundred Flowers Fade" that turned him into a soft-footed shrimp.
If these petals had landed on him, Yang Xuan had no doubt that he would have been completely drained of his vital essence on the spot. His vital essence would vanish, and he would no longer have the ability to retaliate and be at the mercy of Chenxi.
Terrifying. The "Hundred Flowers Fade" made Yang Xuan feel a sense of fear in his heart.
However, Yang Xuan was a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. His eyes shone and his expression was full of caution. He said, "Fortunately, Senior Brother Sect Leader told me to bring the Demon Subduing Pagoda with me before we set off. Otherwise, I really would have failed miserably today."
Looking at the sea of flowers that filled the sky, a light flashed in his hand. Golden light shot out in all directions, bursting forth with thousands of rays of light. For a moment, it was like the sun that had just risen in the morning. Wherever the golden light went, the world was warm. It didn't seem to be very powerful, but it blocked the "Flower-pinching Finger" and the sea of flowers that filled the sky at the same time.
No matter how powerful the countless petals were, they couldn't penetrate the seemingly gentle golden light.
Within the golden light, one could clearly see Yang Xuan stretch out his left hand with a cautious expression. In his hand was a simple and unadorned nine-layered pagoda. The pagoda was completely golden, as if it were forged from pure gold. Countless mysterious runes spun on its surface like flowing water. The pagoda seemed to contain an inconceivable power.
At the very top of the pagoda was a mysterious yellow hexagonal crystal. Wisps of terrifying aura occasionally reverberated within the crystal. If one looked closely, one could vaguely see countless demon figures flickering within the crystal. In the blink of an eye, there were countless figures. However, none of the demon figures were the same.
"Demon Subduing Pagoda, protect the golden light and prevent all evil from penetrating!"
Yang Xuan quickly formed a mysterious seal with his hand and struck the pagoda. Immediately, the pagoda shook violently. Boundless golden light shone on the boundless sea of flowers, rapidly melting the countless petals one by one.
"Don't panic, Empress. I, Old Black, am here."
The ground trembled violently as if there was an earthquake, and the rumbling sounds were endless. The Black Ape King's tall body immediately appeared outside the valley. Seeing the hundreds of cultivators flying in the air in the valley, its eyes widened in anger. With a loud roar, its body emitted a strong demonic aura as it stretched out its ape claws.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Black light flickered on the ape claws, and they suddenly became incomparably huge, like the Buddha's palm. With a backhand turn, the claw slammed down. The air under the claw shook violently, and there was a vague tendency to be destroyed.
"Wah!"
Amidst the hoarse and unpleasant cries of countless crows, the Underworld Raven King had already led a large flock of underworld ravens to pounce over.
For a moment, the rest of the demon kings of the Southern Barbarian, and even ordinary demon beasts and demons, had already rushed over from all directions. Waves of demonic aura gathered together, forming a huge demon cloud in the sky above the Hundred Flower Valley. The roar shook the mountain forest.
The Southern Barbarian Demon Tribe and the Thousand Beast Sect were like two sharp needles against each other. An earth-shattering battle was about to unfold before their eyes. It was a continuation of the endless killing between humans and demons for countless years.
"Am I dead again?"
On a high platform that was exactly the same as before, Di Shitian opened his eyes in a daze. He glanced around and muttered to himself. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "Pah! What am I saying? I almost made myself go insane. This Wenxin Road is really not something that ordinary people can walk on. "
Standing on the high platform, he looked at the surrounding scenery. There were 2 divine pillars on the platform, and in the middle of the divine pillars, there was also a stone tablet standing up. The moment he appeared, a purple light rushed into his mind from the tablet. All of a sudden, he understood everything.
All the previous experiences appeared in his mind one by one.
"First, you sealed my memory, then you put me in front of the cliff of life and death. Wenxin Road, Wenxin Road, if I was in there and had doubts about my choice, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here. "
Looking around, he was the only one on this high platform. Silver Hair and the others didn't appear. He didn't know whether they had left or were still taking the test in the Wenxin Palace.
Speaking of which, Di Shitian also had a trace of fear in his heart. He really didn't expect that the test of the Wenxin Road, every step was not a fluke. Every step forward would put the recipient in a life and death situation, and use life and death to interrogate one's heart. Only in the face of life and death could one's choice be from the heart, from the heart. There were no other impurities in it. This method made him feel as if he was looking up at a lofty mountain, even though he had never met the Sky Demon before.
Only when he came back to his senses did he know what he had experienced and what kind of test he had experienced.
It turned out that the second Wenxin Palace tested responsibility and universal love.
To be able to bear responsibility, one would have the qualifications to be a true king and a true leader. To have universal love, one would consider for one's subordinates and love them. One would work hard for their survival.
The Sky Demon was not just a simple test. It was choosing a 'king' for the Sky Demon Race.
"There are a total of five Wenxin Palaces in the Wenxin Road. I have already passed two, and there are three more ahead. I want to see what kind of test is waiting for me."
Di Shitian's expression was firm, and his eyes didn't waver in the slightest. He looked around, took out the Wine God's Gourd, and drank a few mouthfuls of spirit wine. There were two divine pillars, one black and one purple. He didn't even look at the black one. He stared directly at the purple divine pillar, swallowed the wine in his mouth, flung his sleeves, and stepped into the purple divine pillar in a carefree manner.
