Profound Yang Cave was located about ten li west of Xuan Ling Sect's main hall. It was not in the same direction as the sect's blessed land. Normally, this place was guarded by Jin Dan elders. Outsiders were basically not allowed to come within three li of this place.
This time, the group of more than thirty people slowly walked on the road to Profound Yang Cave. Other than the twenty one disciples from the three sects, less than a third of the cultivators from the aristocratic families passed the selection. Yi Tian looked at the people beside him. Other than himself, Meng Xin, and that Le Tongxuan, there were five other disciples from aristocratic families who rang the Profound Spirit Bell.
The group originally had more than thirty people, but now, more than seventy percent of them were eliminated. Even Meng Xin who was at the side sighed. The gap between the cultivators from aristocratic families and the sect disciples was not ordinary.
At the end of the group was Xiao Linhang. He was the last cultivator to participate in the test. At first, Yi Tian was puzzled. According to the news from Nangong Jie, Xiao Linhang was definitely going to participate. However, he did not see him mixed in with the sect disciples. Instead, after everyone finished, Xiao Linhang hurried over. However, the two Jin Dan cultivators did not blame him. They seemed to have been waiting for him.
Like Yi Tian, Xiao Linhang only used one spell to ring the Profound Spirit Bell. Although the sound only lasted for six breaths, it still proved his strength. After the selection, Yi Tian counted in his heart. There were a total of five people who could ring the Profound Spirit Bell using spells. Mo Mingjun, Lu Qihao, Le Tongxuan, Xiao Linhang, and himself. However, Xuan Ling Sect did not have anyone.
Yi Tian knew the first two. They were late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and had been famous for many years. As for that Le Tongxuan, she was already an extremely dangerous person in Yi Tian's mind. As for Xiao Linhang, he would find an opportunity to chat with him.
A few cultivators stood at the entrance of Profound Yang Cave. The leader was Xuan Ling Sect's sect master, Nangong Aotian. Seeing that the participating disciples had already lined up, Nangong Aotian waved his hand and the disciples beside him went forward to register. Everyone needed to take out their jade tablet for the disciple in charge to check.
On the other hand, Nangong Aotian was chatting with his two Junior Brothers, and he would occasionally glance at the disciples in front of him.
After taking a look, Yi Tian felt that it was basically the same as what he had estimated. Nangong Aotian's gaze lingered on the five strong candidates for a while before moving on to the next person. Yi Tian was no exception. The feeling of being stared at was really uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Every disciple in the front held a jade tablet and stood at the entrance of the cave. As long as they used their magic power to activate the jade tablet, the jade tablet would produce a beam of white light that would hit the restriction of the Mysterious Yang Cave. A one foot wide and seven feet tall crack would slowly open. After they walked in, the restriction would automatically close, leaving no gap.
Two hours later, it was finally Yi Tian's turn. More than twenty people in front of him lined up and went in. Everyone spent a lot of time. Yi Tian took out his jade tablet and showed it to the disciple in charge to confirm that there was no mistake. Just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly heard Nangong Aotian say, "Wait a moment."
His heart sank. Yi Tian thought that there was a problem with the jade tablet. Nangong Qianyun's jade tablet shouldn't have any problems.
Three breaths later, Nangong Aotian walked forward and looked at the jade tablet in Yi Tian's hand. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's fine, you can enter the cave."
Just when Yi Tian thought he could get away with it, he heard a sound transmission in his ear, "You have to bring out at least one Mysterious Yang Fruit. My Nangong family's jade tablet isn't that easy to take."
In an instant, Yi Tian felt that he was locked on by a Divine Sense. The pressure that followed made Yi Tian break out in cold sweat. He didn't expect Nangong Aotian to take care of him. Yi Tian could only bitterly smile, I'll do my best.
He picked up the jade tablet with his left hand and poured his Fa Li into it. His body was surrounded by a white light, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes. After feeling the dizziness on his head, Yi Tian opened his eyes.
The entire Mysterious Yang Cave was illuminated by the light coming from the depths of the cave. Even at the entrance of the cave, there was no need to use Night Illumination Pearls or torches.
After entering and exiting a small passage, he arrived at a ten feet large stone room. Many cultivators who came in before were gathered here. Most of them were investigating the passage in front of them. Looking at the crowd, Yi Tian didn't find any powerful people. Even Chou Jiu was gone. He probably already chose a path.
As far as the eye could see, there was an arc-shaped wall in front of them. Using the Heaven Exchanging Technique, there were sixty-four doors on the wall, which corresponded to the sixty-four hexagrams. A few of the doors were already closed. According to the Xuan Ling Sect disciples, those doors were closed after someone entered.
The entire area was divided into eight sections. Aside from the door at the top, there were seven smaller doors at the bottom. Seeing that Nangong Jie was also thinking hard, Yi Tian walked to a suitable position and sent a voice transmission to Nangong Jie, "Nangong Jie, have you decided which path to take? Is there anything particular about this place? "
Hearing Yi Tian's voice transmission, Nangong Jie's eyes lit up. He looked back and replied to Yi Tian, "This place is called the 'Eight Deceit Forks Path'. Each door corresponds to a test."
Yi Tian looked at the distribution of the doors in the eight sections and asked, "What's the difference between the big and small doors?"
Nangong Jie explained to Yi Tian, "The Eight Deceit Forks Path is also known as the Eight Trigrams. Each section has its own attribute, and each of the eight doors represents the Eight Trigrams. Walking through this path is bound to be dangerous, but if you pass, you will be rewarded handsomely. If you can't pass, you will be directly teleported out."
Hearing this, Yi Tian understood. This is the coexistence of danger and opportunity. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. He turned back and asked Nangong Jie, "What do you choose?"
"I choose the safe path. I am of the Metal Attribute, so I will naturally choose the Zhen Door or the Xun Door. Since the attribute counters each other, I have an innate advantage." After speaking, Nangong Jie waved his hand and entered the third door under the Xun Door.
Perhaps Nangong Jie still had some reservations about his strength and wanted to pass the first test as soon as possible. Yi Tian just curled his lips and looked at the eight doors above him. He muttered in his heart, "A thousand years ago, the inner disciples of the Profound Sun Sect also came to this place to train. Could it be that they were all cowards? If that's the case, then what's the point of the Profound Sun Sect's Ancestor opening this Profound Sun Cave?
With a smile on his face, he looked around. Many disciples had already chosen their paths and walked in. Then, the stone door slammed down with a bang. There were still seven or eight people left in the cave, including Le Tongxuan and Xiao Linhang. Even Meng Xin found a cave on the second floor under the word 'Kun' and walked in.
When Xiao Linhang saw Yi Tian, he was also puzzled. He seemed to be thinking about something, but he couldn't be sure. Yi Tian didn't feel like talking to them. He soared into the sky and directly flew into the Distant Fire Tribe's door with a 'bang'. Yi Tian didn't even look back. He knew that the stone door had been closed. Now, he could only walk in the dark.
There was a stone pillar erected at the entrance of the passage. On top of it, there were three words' Li is Fire '. Yi Tian looked at it and thought that it should be the strongest path of fire in the Distant Fire Tribe in the south. Regardless of the other paths, Yi Tian saw that the inner walls of the passage were red. When he touched them with his hand, he could feel that they were boiling hot.
After smiling, Yi Tian strode forward. Although he didn't know what was waiting for him, he still had to continue walking. After a quarter of an hour, Yi Tian found that this path was sloping downwards. Moreover, the further down he went, the higher the surrounding temperature. The red color on the walls of the cave became deeper.
After an hour, Yi Tian was already sweating profusely. The surrounding temperature had already risen to the level of the furnace in the Earth Crafting Room. It was as if he had walked into a furnace. Knowing that this couldn't go on, Yi Tian opened the protective cover and forced the rolling hot air out of his body.
As he walked, Yi Tian suddenly smelled a burning smell. When he looked at the ground, the path on the ground had already turned dark red. His shoes emitted scorched smoke when he stepped on it. There was no way for him to stand on the ground. Yi Tian had no choice but to use the protective cover to increase the layer under his feet. Then, he quickly walked forward.
After walking out of the spiraling area, a straight path appeared in front of him. However, Yi Tian wasn't happy at all.
The temperature around him was getting higher and higher. Even his clothes would be ignited by the flying sparks if he wasn't careful. Along the way, Yi Tian was either walking or putting out the fire. He felt that he had already walked to a depth of 500 feet. In front of him was a flaming tunnel. From time to time, drops of lava would drip down from the ceiling.
The walls beside him also had lava spurting out from time to time. The flaming tunnel in front of him couldn't see the end of it. Who knew how long it was? Looking back at the spiral tunnel, Xiao Chen saw that lava was raining down. It was impossible to turn back. Moreover, the lava rain continued to extend towards where he was standing, as if urging him to run faster.
This was the first time Yi Tian regretted choosing such a tunnel. He had failed to act cool and was struck by lightning. Gritting his teeth, Yi Tian could only brace himself and walk forward.
After walking a few steps, a large piece of lava fell from the ceiling and hit Yi Tian's protective cover. Yi Tian was scared and had to wrap his hands with fire spirit energy to quickly move the lava away. The following path was basically moving through the flaming lava. From time to time, he would have to stop and clean up after being hit. The hot lava hit the protective cover, increasing Yi Tian's spirit energy consumption from time to time. After half a quarter of an hour, he had walked for 500 feet. He still couldn't see the end of the tunnel, but the lava rain behind him seemed to have begun to accelerate. It was less than 50 feet away from him.
Turning pale with fright, Yi Tian began to panic. He kept cursing the Profound Sun Ancestor, Yun Zhongzheng, in his heart. What kind of trial tunnel was this? If he was caught by the lava rain, even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin.
Bracing himself, Yi Tian continued to walk forward. Before he could walk more than 100 feet, he found that his protective cover was surrounded by too much lava. His movements began to slow down, but the lava rain behind him was even closer. It was only 30 feet away from him.
Yi Tian didn't dare to sit still. He formed a seal with his hands and whispered, "Profound Sun True Fire, protect my body." A red-gold flame flew out from his hands and ignited his body, forming a three-inch thick humanoid figure. This was the Profound Sun Fire Armor that Yi Tian had painstakingly practiced in the cave mansion in the blessed land.
Yi Tian pulled down the protective cover and felt his whole body lighten. Then, he exerted force in his legs and directly ran through the flaming tunnel. While walking, he used his hands to block the lava dripping from the top of the tunnel from time to time.
The consumption of the spiritual force in his body also increased exponentially. This was the first time Yi Tian used the Profound Sun Fire Armor, but he was in a sorry state. After running for a quarter of an hour, Yi Tian felt that more than half of his spiritual force had been consumed. Just as he was about to rest, he looked back and saw that the lava rain was also flying behind Yi Tian. The distance between them was slightly increased to about 50 feet.
But once Yi Tian stopped to rest, the lava rain actually began to accelerate. This time, Yi Tian could no longer sit still. He jumped up and ran forward. In his right hand, he took out a bottle of Heroic Spirit Cloud Sky Wine and walked while drinking. In his left hand, he took out two pieces of Medium Rank Spirit Stones, crushed them, and stuffed them into his mouth.
After running for nearly half an hour, he drank spirit stones and spirit wine. Suddenly, he saw a bright light in front of him. Looking at it, he saw that it was the exit. Yi Tian was overjoyed. He hurriedly exerted force in his legs and began to sprint half a mile away.
