After passing through a few corridors and turning a few corners, the tomb pavilion appeared in everyone's sight.
Gu Xuan and the rest were only a few hundred feet away from the tomb pavilion.
The Pagoda Master reminded everyone, "From now on, everyone is on high alert! In case of a sudden attack by ferocious beasts! "
Everyone nodded solemnly.
The last stage was definitely the most difficult one, so they had to be cautious.
The Faceless Demon Hound followed behind Gu Xuan, expressing strong disdain for the Pagoda Master's overreaction.
"What a bunch of ignorant fellows. The third stage is the easiest for Master, okay?"
Gu Xuan was also thinking about what kind of strange test he would face.
The three stages tested Martial Arts, Soul, and Physique.
In theory, each stage should be harder than the last.
But he had a Divine Body! Ordinary Perfection Stage powerhouses had tenacious vitality, but once their heads were chopped off, they would still be deader than dead.
But even if he was turned into powder, he would not die.
If the third stage was to test the strength of one's body or close combat skills, then he would be able to pass it easily without a doubt.
At this moment, in the tomb pavilion.
Everyone had learned from the giant dragon that the challengers were already a few hundred feet away.
The Minotaur and Leopard were so excited that they almost burst into tears.
They had been standing here like pillars for who knew how many hours. Finally, they had reached the end! A cold smile appeared on the giant dragon's face, and his eyes were fierce.
This group of human martial artists dared to make them wait here for so long. They deserved to die! When they arrived later, everyone would immediately release their auras and show them who was the boss. They would fall into fear from the moment they entered the tomb pavilion! At this moment.
"Eh?"
The Faceless Demon Hound following behind Gu Xuan suddenly stopped, and his nose twitched.
"Master, I'm afraid things are a little troublesome. The ones guarding the third stage are the tomb keepers! I already guessed that there would be a change of people here, but I didn't expect it to be them! "
Gu Xuan's eyes narrowed.
"You mean that the giant dragon, Minotaur, and Leopard personally brought people to guard the third stage?"
The Pagoda Master, Young Hero Ke, and the rest all stopped.
"That giant dragon will guard the third stage?"
The Tower Master and Young Hero Ke looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
That huge dragon was simply an invincible existence in the Sword Tomb cave abode.
It didn't even care about the Sky Restriction Spell, so how could it pass the third level?
Even though the Pagoda Master's strength had increased due to the Pig Meat, and he had even comprehended a new ability, he still did not have the slightest confidence that he would be able to defeat that enormous dragon.
As for Young Hero Ke, there was no way he could win in a normal battle.
If he used his poison technique, he might be able to put up a fight. However, a giant dragon was not immune to all poisons. Given its size, even ordinary poisons that could kill a Great Perfection stage human might not be able to kill him.
Moreover, he had never used poison on the surface. He had hidden the poison technique as a trump card and planned to use it on the Pagoda Master.
If he were to expose himself now, the Pagoda Master would definitely be wary of him in the future.
"Damn it, are we really going to let Ke Jiuji out?
It's fine if he takes the initiative to come out, since he won't be able to consume my energy.
If I let him out, he'll definitely think of a way to weaken me … "Young Hero Ke was instantly flustered.
He knew that the third stage would be difficult, but he did not expect it to be this difficult! He had thought that he would not have to face the giant dragon again, but things did not go as he wished.
Moreover, there were two other Great Perfection stage cultivators besides the giant dragon.
This third stage was not a test, it was a dead end! The elders and disciples of the Ancient Pagoda lineage were also dumbfounded, their expressions ugly.
None of them were willing to take another step forward! Gu Xuan rubbed his chin, his eyes filled with thoughts.
Even the three tomb keepers were here. The difficulty of the third stage was probably unprecedentedly high.
The giant dragon probably had the authority to tamper with it.
"If the third stage's test is changed directly and has nothing to do with 'body', that would be the most troublesome thing."
Gu Xuan hurriedly sent a wisp of his consciousness into the world in his palm and asked the jade skeleton.
The jade skeleton laughed out loud.
"Don't worry, the third stage's test is ever-changing and the core of it is related to 'body'! Becoming the guardian of the third stage and your 'true enemy' is already the limit of the giant dragon.
Don't worry, go ahead! If you can't clear it in the end, return to the world in my palm and we'll hide from it for thousands of years! "
Gu Xuan's lips twitched a couple of times.
The jade skeleton sounded so heroic at the start. Why did it take a 180-degree turn with the last sentence? Wasn't it afraid of spraining his back?
However, Gu Xuan soon understood the meaning behind the jade skeleton's words.
"You mean to say that you can't help in the third stage?"
Gu Xuan asked doubtfully.
"You can help in the first and second stages but not the third?
Are you sure it's' can't 'and not' unwilling '? "
The jade skeleton harrumphed and said righteously, "The guardians of the first and second stages were reared by me in the past.
The Faceless Fiend Hound and Swine were both my spirit pets. It's only natural that I can help.
The guardians of the third stage used to be my spirit pets as well. However, they changed and became the tomb keepers.
If I could subdue them easily, would I have been killed twice by them? Would I have had my memories sealed? Would I have been tricked by them and become the 'Old Eight' that they spoke of? "
Gu Xuan was stunned.
Although he kept feeling that something was wrong, it did seem to make sense when he first heard it.
"Forget it, I'll think of something myself!"
Gu Xuan's consciousness exited the world in his palm.
Outside, everyone fell into silence.
Sensing that something was amiss with the atmosphere, Gu Xuan could not help but frown.
It would not do if everyone had no morale at all.
"Everyone, show me your strength!"
Gu Xuan smiled confidently.
"I've already obtained some insider information about the third stage from the Swine when I killed it.
As for how to pass this hurdle, I already have a well-thought-out plan! However, injuries are inevitable in battles. We can only create a miracle of everyone clearing the stage if we work together! Don't worry, as long as you don't give up, the Pagoda Master and I will definitely be able to bring everyone out of the sword tomb safely! "
Gu Xuan's words were firm and full of confidence.
The Pagoda Master was startled, but he immediately understood Gu Xuan's intention. He immediately followed his words and promised the elders and disciples that he would be able to bring everyone out of the tomb.
The people of the Pagoda Master's faction were instantly energized and confident.
Guest Elder Gu Xuan had always been reliable. Everyone knew that. With him and the Pagoda Master's promise, what else was there to worry about?
"As expected of master, to have already come up with a plan! I'm sure master had already predicted that the giant dragon and the others would be here to guard the third stage. Impressive! "
The Faceless Demon Hound looked at Gu Xuan with admiration.
It was truly fortunate to have such a master! "However, as the guardian of the first stage, I'll have to hide for a while.
The giant dragon is in charge of the palace, thus it has some special privileges. If it finds me an eyesore and decides to drag me into the trial, I won't be able to defeat it.
A wise dog knows better than to fight when the odds are against it! "
The Faceless Demon Hound transmitted its thoughts to Gu Xuan and told him its concerns. It said that it would leave first and hide for a while. It would return after Gu Xuan passed the trial.
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes. He wasn't afraid of the Faceless Demon Hound running away, but he was afraid that the Faceless Demon Hound wouldn't be able to catch up to him after he passed the trial.
"You don't have to leave. I'll find you a good place to go."
Gu Xuan waved his right hand, and the Faceless Demon Hound flew into his sleeve.
Of course, that was only in the eyes of outsiders. In reality, the Faceless Demon Hound had entered the world in Gu Xuan's palm.
Dong.
It landed on the ground.
"This is … World in the Sleeve?"
The Faceless Demon Hound was shocked. It had seen its master wave his hand, and it was sent here.
It stood up and looked around.
"No, this is the World in the Palm, a world created by Gu Xuan.
It's not a low-level technique like the World in the Sleeve. "
A cold voice entered the Faceless Demon Hound's ears.
"How dare you call my master by his name. You …" The Faceless Demon Hound looked at the ground and saw a palm-sized jade skeleton.
Dong.
The Faceless Demon Hound's legs turned to jelly and it fell to the ground.
"It's you! Old … Old master … "
