Chapter 182 (1/2)

After the explosion, Xue Wei stood back up He dusted off his clothes and looked at the door

Although the explosion had been rather violent, it was not enough to destroy the door Instead, it did just enough to trigger its unlockinga few h theother doors, but he quickly discarded the idea when he sa resilient the door was and continued into the next room

”Welcome to the fifth room of the trials” The very ed before he could even look at his reward fro the fourth trial He focused his attention towards this voice

”If you pass the trial in the fifth roorave This in itself is no easy acco the fifth trial will beyou this already now is that I want you to understand one thing

“I have given out bits and pieces of acy up until now because I do not wish for the art of formations to disappear Even in my ti Although they are useful, no one is willing to spend the time needed to learn the way of for their spiritual energy”

“I need so part of acy revolves around the creation of formations, and I wish that my successor shares my passion for them”

Xue Wei had already understood this much, but he still listened intently

”The trials from this point onwards, apart from the tenth, will all be about fore to understand acy!”

Xue Wei acknowledged that this Moon Prince was obsessed with formations It was clear that formations were much more important to hiacy he truly wished to pass doas his accue of formations

The fifth trial required hi Formation, which was a step above the previous trial's difficulty

The concept of a Qi Gathering Formation was to attract a wide radius of heaven-and-earth essence froy for accelerated cultivation

This formation required a full seven runes Unlike in the previous trial, they were not given stones to engrave their foriven papers, lots of theside a pen and ink

From the amount of papers that were stacked up on the table, it was clear that the Moon Prince had taken a lot of precautions in case the candidates taking his test repeatedly fail to compose the runes The Moon Prince are of how difficult the beginning of formation creation was A lot of materials had been placed in the test rooan his first atte the inscription for the first rune, but he found, much to his dismay, that his control over the pen had rusted over the years He had been taught calligraphy early on, but he had not dabbled in it for years Although he was capable of writing it, the runes did not cohed He had to refresh old muscles, so he repeatedly drew the different runes that the Moon Prince had taught hi of it This took hiht cycles did not exist inside the grave All light caht-orbs, and it was impossible to see what time of the day it was or how much time had passed

Xue Wei had already lost track of ti for Xiaoyun stared at a closed door with mixed emotions on her face She had failed the very first trial Not because she lacked willpower, but because what she had gone through was si the heart demon inside her

Since she had failed the first trial, she had returned to the front roorave – the place where they had split up

A day had gone by in a flash, and Hei Gou was the next person to appear He had failed the trial of spiritual energy

Although he had e of his kin, he was still froth, so he was ill-equipped for the task

When he entered the front rooentlythe first trial

She had no ti after the Ice Harpy, but knew that she was currently too weak, so she squeezed every moment dry for cultivation

However, Hei Gou's movements woke her up froerously, and she slowly stood up She athed in an oppressive air, and her one eye gleamed with rowled Then she opened her hand, producing the green fan as if perforic trick

”Hey, cut it out!” Hei Gou yelled with surprise and irritation ”If you kill rily

These words see Xiaoyun

The murderous air around her decreased a bit, and her face turned sour ”I just have to make sure he doesn't find out who did it!” She sneered at him, but Hei Gou snickered ”Do you think Wei is duly

”The last trial I faced was focused on spiritual energy; it's obvious these trials are not designed to test our survivability The trials are meant for those who dabble in formations, so on't die no matter how problematic they are! So what excuse would you use? That I just vanished into thin air? Do you really think he will believe you?”
