In the depths of the Mysterious Yang Cave, behind the exit of the Eight Deceit Doors was a stone hall that was sixty feet in size. There were people coming out of the eight doors one after another.
The first to arrive was Cai Wenqiang. He entered through the door of the Earth Navy Division and spent more than two hours to arrive at the hall. After that, Chou Renjiu, Mo Mingjun, Lu Qihao, and the others arrived one after another.
Nangong Jie spent four hours to come out of the passage. After coming out, he looked around to see if Yi Tian was there, but to his disappointment, he didn't see anyone.
About six hours later, a person emitting a burnt smell appeared in front of the Li Door. At this time, Yi Tian only looked a bit embarrassed, but his spirit was still quite good. The spiritual power in his body had already been raised to the peak of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Two hours ago, the soul-stirring sprint had indeed consumed most of the spiritual power in his dantian. But now, he had already recovered to his peak state.
After passing, Yi Tian saw a stone platform at the door. On the stone platform, there was a jade box with a fire lotus seed inside. Below it was a line of words, 'Golden Lotus in Fire, Born from Fire'. This was clearly the reward for passing. After Yi Tian looked at it, he directly put the fire lotus seed into the Inscription of Fire Ring. Then he looked through the Ten Thousand Book of Spirit Herbs and found out that this lotus seed could grow into a Fiery Golden Lotus if planted properly.
It was also recorded in the Mysterious Yang True Fire Spirit Technique that once a Mysterious Yang Sect disciple cultivated to the Jin Dan stage, they could use the Fiery Golden Lotus' petals and Brilliant Black Gold Crystal to refine a Fire Lotus Sword. The lotus seed head of the Fiery Golden Lotus was the best material to refine the Mysterious Yang Fire Wheel Formation.
It seemed to be out of reach for now, but Yi Tian was confident that once he reached the Jin Dan stage, he would be able to find a suitable cave to plant the Fiery Golden Lotus in Chiyang School's blessed land.
Sitting behind the door, Yi Tian took out the middle grade spirit stones he had prepared and drew a spirit gathering formation. Then he sat in the middle and rested for nearly half an hour. During this time, he drank two jugs of wine to make up for the deficit. When his Dantian was once again filled with spiritual power, Yi Tian swaggered out.
Outside the passage, Yi Tian was the last to arrive. After that, the door completely disappeared, leaving only a bare wall.
Seeing the suspicious look on Yi Tian's face, Nangong Jie explained with a sound transmission, "This is the activation of the Mysterious Yang Cave's great array. Obviously, the people in the first round have all come out. Those who haven't come out have all been teleported out. I'm curious as to how long it took you to get here. "
After looking at Nangong Jie, Yi Tian smiled and transmitted his voice, "I was walking slowly and fell down. I'm fine now." After saying that, he deliberately changed the topic and pointed at the passage in front of them to see what was going on.
He heard Nangong Jie's voice again, "There's a problem with the first ten steps. Senior Martial Brother Cai has been walking up for more than two hours and still hasn't reached the end."
After hearing this, Yi Tian turned his head and looked around. There were only a dozen or so cultivators left. Half of them were eliminated in the first round. It seems like the trial here is really difficult. Otherwise, Xuan Ling Sect wouldn't have been able to pick a single fruit sixty years ago.
The passage was forty feet wide and there were only ten steps. Yi Tian saw that Cai Wenqiang had already reached the eighth step. However, his temples were already dripping with sweat. It was obvious that his body was unstable. Facing the ninth step, he couldn't lift his leg no matter what.
There were still a few Xuan Ling Sect disciples who were eager to give it a try. Looking around, the six people from the Iron Sword Gate and Chiyang School were all present. Among the rogue cultivators, only Meng Xin, Le Tongxuan, and Yi Tian were left.
Someone shouted, "Senior Martial Brother Cai, be careful." Everyone watched as Cai Wenqiang shakily stepped onto the ninth step. However, he didn't dare to lift his other leg.
Then, Cai Wenqiang turned around and said to his brothers, "I can't walk anymore. You guys continue to work hard." Then, he took out a jade tablet and activated it. His entire body was enveloped in light and he was teleported out.
The people below began to talk at once. Two Xuan Ling Sect disciples directly stepped onto the ninth step. However, they couldn't do it after three or four steps. Their bodies trembled and they fell on the stairs. Then, a white light forcefully sent them out.
After taking a look, even fewer people dared to give it a try. Yi Tian took a look and saw that even Le Tongxuan and Xiao Linhang were puzzled and frowning. Nangong Jie's expression was even uglier. He was constantly calculating his gains and losses.
After laughing for a while, Yi Tian also stepped onto the stairs under the strange gazes of the people around him. When he took the first step, he didn't feel anything. However, when he took the second step, he noticed that his divine sense was being suppressed by an even stronger divine sense. He didn't dare to take another step forward. After pondering for a moment, Yi Tian realized that the second trial tested one's divine sense. It depended on whether or not one's divine sense could withstand it.
The Xuanyang True Fire Art recorded that Xuanyang Sect disciples must cultivate the Bright Sun Soul-Refining Art in Foundation Establishment. It should be used here. Then, everyone saw that the cultivator from the aristocratic family, whose entire body had been burned black, actually relaxed. It was as if he had drunk enough wine, and he swayed as he walked up. Every step he took seemed so weak, but when he stepped on it, it was as if his feet had taken root, nailing him to the ground.
After reaching the ninth level, Yi Tian's eyes turned and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he put his feet together and jumped lightly, pouncing onto the highest stone platform like a tiger.
Ignoring the shouts of the people below, Yi Tian stood up and said to Nangong Jie, "Sorry, I drank too much. I won't wait for you guys. I'll go first." After saying this, he easily walked inside.
This time, several people below couldn't sit still. Since someone succeeded, it meant that there was a way to pass. Someone even asked, "Did anyone bring wine? Didn't they say that drinking wine is better?" Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Was the cultivator from the aristocratic family messing with them? Someone actually responded. Yi Tian glanced at Chou Ren Jiu from the corner of his eye. Chou Ren Jiu really did take out a bottle of wine and drank a few mouthfuls before preparing to go up.
In any case, Yi Tian didn't care anymore. He turned and walked into the next passage. Along the way, he saw a light in the passage. The torches on the wall all lit up. After walking for half an hour, Yi Tian saw another three forked road. The middle road sign was a tree. The left road sign was a pill and the right road sign was a sword.
This clearly corresponded to the pill, tool and spirit plants. However, the spirit plant garden in the middle meant that it was the main hall. The Mysterious Yang Fruit should be at the bottom of the spirit plant garden. After thinking about it, Yi Tian decided not to take the risk. It was safer to enter the spirit plant garden.
Before he walked over, he heard a female voice behind him, "Fellow cultivator, can we talk in private?"
Turning around, Yi Tian saw the result that he didn't want to see the most. He saw Le Tong Xuan leisurely walking over. He didn't see a trace of exhaustion on her body. She also looked at Yi Tian with a much more relaxed expression. Seeing that no one followed behind him, Yi Tian was a bit flustered. Out of so many people, only this Le Tong Xuan was unfathomable.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian shook his head and said, "You and I have never met before. Everyone should go their own way. There is no need to get too involved." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the main road. Before he even took two steps, he received a voice transmission, "Which department is that from the sacred sect?" Yi Tian abruptly stopped. He turned around and stared at Le Tong Xuan. After sizing her up for a long time, he said, "Who are you?"
"You used the second move of the Wisdom King Hand. According to what I know, only the core disciples of the four departments have the qualifications to learn it. I guess that if you didn't use the Wisdom King Art to activate the spell, then you definitely aren't from the Imperial Deity Sect. The spirit qi is pure green and doesn't seem like a metal attribute technique of the Utilitarian Heaven. Also, from your accent, you don't seem like someone from the Southern Border. Then the answer is obvious. Isn't that right, little brat Brahma Mantra Heaven?" Le Tong Xuan said with a smile.
This time it was Yi Tian's turn to be nervous. He turned around to make sure that no one followed him. Then he looked helplessly at Le Tong Xuan. He took out a token from his storage bracelet. After seeing this, the other party's smile became even wider. She also took out a token and waved it in front of Yi Tian.
He saw that the two words' Extreme Happiness' were carved on the jade token. Yi Tian took a deep breath. He thought to himself, 'Just based on this name, this person is definitely a Jin Dan cultivator. But I don't know how she managed to get away with it. Also, I don't know what she wants to do by revealing her identity.'
After putting away the jade token in his hand, Yi Tian said with a serious expression, "I have an agreement with the Imperial Deity Saint candidate Shangguan Dingsheng and Zhuge Wudi. After advancing to the Jin Dan, I will go to the Southern Border to help the two of them. Since you are a member of the Holy Church, why don't you go to the Imperial Deity Sect? I heard from the Tian Yun Sect's disciple that the Holy Church will prosper in a hundred years. The four departments will definitely be unified."
Who knew that Le Tong Xuan would laugh and say, "How would you know that the Imperial Deity Sect is extremely ambitious? The unification of the four departments is just empty talk. Moreover, the Imperial Deity Saint candidate is only recognized by the Imperial Deity Sect. As early as nine hundred years ago, it was because of this that the Holy Church was split into what it is today. "
Looking at Yi Tian's puzzled expression, Le Tong Xuan continued, "According to the sect's records, the Wisdom King Saint's direct inheritance is definitely not the Wisdom King Technique. It was only because the Imperial Deity Sect was too powerful that they had no choice but to forcefully appoint their own disciple as the Saint. In fact, this also became the fuse that caused the Holy Church to split."
After hearing this, Yi Tian suddenly realized that this was slightly different from what Shangguan Dingsheng had said. This way, it was a good thing for him that the Wisdom King Path was split. If they were as strong as an iron board, Yi Tian didn't know how to fish in troubled waters.
Since Le Tong Xuan knew so much about the Wisdom King Path, she must have something to rely on from the Brahma Mantra Sect. But he didn't know what she meant by revealing her true intentions. After pondering for a moment, Yi Tian spoke again, "Then you are the current generation's Heavenly Maiden of Bliss. Are you also looking for the Brahma Mantra Sect to unify the Holy Church?"
Unexpectedly, Le Tong Xuan sneered and said, "Only my master, the previous generation's Heavenly Maiden of Bliss, still has the idea of unifying the Holy Church. It's wishful thinking to want me to serve the Holy Son of the Imperial Deity Sect. These three immature brats dare to call themselves the Holy Son. They probably haven't even seen the Holy Son's true body, right? I will only serve the true Wisdom King Saint. "
This was the second time Yi Tian heard the words of the Holy Son's true body. Although Li Jianfeng had said it back at the Dark Cave, Yi Tian couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he heard it from Le Tong Xuan again.
Fortunately, he was still wearing the human skin mask. If he took it off now, he would definitely see Yi Tian's shocked expression. After pausing for a moment, Yi Tian also went straight to the point and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you find me and tell me your true intentions? What do you want? "
The Heavenly Maiden of Bliss, Le Tong Xuan, blinked and said with a smile, "Seeing that we are of the same origin, I won't make things difficult for you. I came to the Profound Yang Cave because there is something sealed inside that should belong to the Realm of Bliss. As the current generation's Heavenly Maiden of Bliss, I naturally have the obligation to find it. Originally, it was only me, but now that I have your help, I have a greater chance of success."
"Then it seems that I have no choice but to agree. Since that's the case, lead the way. We will return quickly. I still have to pick the Profound Yang Fruit."
This time, it was Le Tong Xuan's turn to be stunned. She didn't expect Yi Tian to agree so decisively. Le Tong Xuan nodded and said, "Then come with me."
