Chapter 130 The Trial Grounds
"To be honest, can't this secret realm come up with a more novel way of entering? Falling off a cliff every time is really hard to bear."
Qianlong stood up and patted the dust off his clothes.
The two now found themselves inside a cave, surrounded by a faint blue light that spoke volumes about their different natures.
Wohu also stood up, tidied himself up, and then took Qianlong with him. The two of them walked into the cave through the passage.
The road was narrow and dark. However, after traveling for a long time, a faint light appeared before their eyes.
"It looks like we're almost there," Wo Hu muttered to himself, lost in thought.
Qianlong nodded and quickened his pace.
As the point of light grew larger, their vision opened up.
The familiar valley reappeared before my eyes, and the aroma of various herbs mingled with the fragrance of the earth wafted towards me.
The two walked along the muddy path, and soon, several blue spiritual herbs appeared before their eyes.
"We'd better stay far away this time, or we'll get stung by those poison bees," Qianlong warned.
Last time, the group almost lost their lives because they picked a few Blue Star Grass plants while chatting idly.
Crouching Tiger nodded, but his mind drifted to the distant main hall.
Their exploration this time will definitely involve entering that so-called trial ground.
Last time, out of caution, the group hadn't explored this area yet; it remains to be seen what different encounters they will have this time.
Thinking this, Wohu felt a little heavy-hearted, and the closer he got to the main hall, the slower his pace became.
After all, it's a purple-level mission, so the difficulty of the mission should not be underestimated.
Now, if they die, the cost to these mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators will be extremely high, resulting in a loss of 40% of their experience points.
Keep in mind that his experience bar is only at 60% right now. If he dies now, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
Qianlong walked casually to the side, seemingly unaffected.
The missions currently issued by the sect leader are not necessarily fatal, and the casualties are usually caused when their strength is low.
Instead of overthinking, it's better to take care of the immediate matter first and then go inside the main hall to find out what's going on.
And so, with different thoughts in their hearts, the two stepped into this magnificent hall at the same moment.
But just as the two stepped out, a golden light suddenly appeared above the hall.
The golden light slowly converged, forming the next line of text.
"You are all made of gold, but within the Qingxuan Sect, it is resplendent with gold."
Inside the courtyard, Zhou Yi picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
He didn't know if the players had arrived at the main hall yet.
If I arrive at this time, I might just stumble upon the Easter egg I just designed.
Back inside the main hall.
As Qianlong and Wohu watched the golden light dissipate, their hearts were not stirred by much.
Judging from the current situation, even if the Qingxuan Sect is magnificent, those two veteran players are definitely the two most dazzling stars.
Of course, this is on the premise that it is not the sect leader.
The two of them walked along and soon found the teleportation array they had found earlier.
A faint blue light still emanated from outside the teleportation array, twinkling like starlight, its lingering glow enveloping the small teleportation array layer by layer.
"Let's go, let's go into the training ground first." Wohu stepped into the teleportation array.
Blue starlight enveloped his entire body, and in the next instant, his figure completely vanished from the hall.
Although it wasn't the first time, Qianlong still watched intently.
How exactly does this amazing teleportation method work?
Curiosity aside, the current task must continue.
Only by keeping our feet on the ground can we have the right to look up at the stars.
-
Without much hesitation, Qianlong entered the teleportation array immediately after Wohu teleported, and simultaneously selected the trial field for teleportation.
His gaze flickered, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
This is a small house, not very spacious, it looks only the size of a bedroom.
The room was entirely white, with nothing in it except for a round wooden table in the center.
Qianlong walked toward the round wooden table with a bewildered look on his face, and then something surprising happened.
A blue screen slowly appeared on the round wooden table.
The information on the blue screen was minimal, consisting of only four characters: "天地玄黄" (Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow).
The four characters are spaced a certain distance apart, but currently only the character "黄" (Huang) is emitting a slight light; the other three characters are gray.
"Could these four words represent the level of the trial arena assessment?" Qianlong stroked his chin, looking at the blue screen in thought.
"If that's the case, then yellow represents the lowest level, which means I can only attempt the lowest level trials right now. But I'm a complete beginner, so this makes sense."
Left with no other choice, Qianlong had to reach out and touch the character "Huang" to resolve the current situation.
"Holy crap, what is this?"
Qianlong gently touched the character "Huang" with his finger, but what followed was that the white room in front of him became distorted.
His figure paused, his heart sank, and then he vanished from this place.
When he woke up again, Qianlong was already collapsed on the ground. He struggled to get up and looked around.
He found himself on a huge arena, his equipment still there, with nothing else changed.
But strangely, after arriving here, he still hadn't seen where Crouching Tiger had gone.
"Could it be that these small spaces are not interconnected?" Qianlong guessed.
Although everything before him was unknown, Qianlong had no shortage of the desire to explore the unknown.
He walked slowly to the center of the ring, to a large pillar.
A phantom image appeared above the pillar, with four kinds of demonic beasts printed on it.
No, it's not a monster!
Qianlong's heart skipped a beat.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the four illusory figures were actually the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
"Is that all it takes to fool people?" Qianlong thought to himself, but remained outwardly calm.
There is a groove on the pillar, just big enough to fit a person's palm.
Qianlong placed his hand in the groove of the pillar and felt a cool sensation slowly slide into his palm.
"Huh? It's actually quite comfortable," he thought to himself, but a change soon followed.
The illusory images on the pillars slowly changed and merged in the air, eventually becoming a huge blue screen.
