Chapter 49 Three Tests (2/2)
...
Time passed by. In the blink of an eye, the open day of Land of Origin arrived. Early in the morning, the five young people showed their appreciation to Zhu Xuangui and left for the Thousands Beast Mansion.
As the five young people stepped out of the mansion, Zhu Xuangui, the blind old lady and the cyan-robed youth gathered, looking at them from a distance until they got out of their sight.
”Alas, if I had not accidentally lost my Demon Emperor Horn, I would enter the Land of Origin now.” Zhu Xuangui patted his head with regret.
The cyan-robed youth said with a faint smile, ”The little bird is interesting. He actually makes friends with four humans. This is similar to the old bird of those years. Right, Aunt Bai, is Lyu Liang the child you saved 500 years ago? It looks like he got a big opportunity. He actually becomes the owner of the Shadow Domain Beast. He is indeed from the Xuanli Clan!”
The blind old lady said in a solemn voice, ”I only want to return the favour of Xuanli Zhen. After all, he helped me before he left. I did not expect that the boy whose soul was sealed by the Mysterious Devil Seal has made such progress! I dare say, he is qualified to fight Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators with his current strength! I have confidence in him!”
...
Lyu Liang and his fellows kept silent on their way to the Thousands Beast Mansion. Shortly after, they arrived in front of the Sect-Protection Formation. At this time, countless cultivators waited outside, floating in the sky or standing on the ground. It was full of people. Some of them were attacking the formation while most of them were studying it.
Lyu Liang and his fellows observed for a while and saw someone go through the formation. Then a mansion disciple came to lead the participant away. It seemed that he would take the second test.
It was easy for Lyu Liang to pass through the formation. All his teammates knew about it. Shangguan Ying had the immortal standard magic treasure, ”Heaven Mixing Cloth”, so she was able to easily pass it too. As for the third one, they went into discussion and decided that Zhu Yan should go for it.
The reason was simple. This guy actually had a upper-grade immortal Talisman, Formation-breaking Talisman. He said that he gained it from the relics of the powerful figure. Anyway, Lyu Liang had already got used it. ”A person can own a Soul Cultivation Tree. What else is it impossible for him to have?”
Hence, Lyu Liang went to the registration spot which was set outside of the Thousands Beast Mansion and sighed up for the first test with Shangguan Ying and Zhu Yan. Only when they sighed up, could they officially get the chance to take the second test after going through the formation. Of course, if someone signed up but failed the first test, he would be disqualified from the follow-up tests. Who let you fool the jury?
...
At this time, Li Wuyi and Xu Mubai fixed all their attention on the other three teammates for the trio was about to take the first test.
In front of the light curtain, Lyu Liang smiled slightly and rushed into the domain in a flash. Shangguan Ying waved her Heaven Mixing Cloth and got through it. Zhu Yan leisurely crushed a Formation-breaking Talisman under the jealousy gaze... The first test, Lyu Liang's team passed!
Then Li Wuyi and Xu Mubai were allowed in. The five people followed a mansion disciple and came in front of a huge cave residence. At this moment, some teams had been walking inside.
”This is the place for the second test, Thousand Beast Space. When you enter it, you can take action separately. Only when three people pass the tests, can all of you pass it. You can kill the demon beasts inside at will. If you feel powerless, you can break the Talisman immediately to ensure your safety. You can only stay there for one hour. If you don't pass the test within limited time, all of you will fail. Well, now you can go.” The mansion disciple explained while taking out five small Talismans and giving them to the five people. He warned them before they left. ”Remember, if you can't make it, then give it up. Otherwise, you will die!”
Hearing this, Lyu Liang and his fellows got together and had a small meeting. Finally, they reached an agreement: being alive was the most important thing! Once they felt that they could not resist the attack, they would have to crush the Talismans immediately. No one would be allowed to fight to the death! Since they came here together, they would return together!
After that, Lyu Liang took the lead and Zhu Yan brought up the rear. The five people entered the Thousand Beast Space one by one.
...
The moment Lyu Liang entered the space, his Divine Soul felt a bit killing intent. As he expected, a giant eagle was whistling over. Every place its wings passed by was full of sharp Sword Qi.
Lyu Liang smiled slightly. He took out the Celadon Jade Seal to cover himself and dashed out with Feiling. At the same time, countless sword flowers drifted forward. Although the giant eagle looked powerful, it still could not resist the attack from Lyu Liang and was smashed into pieces by the sword flowers. Then it turned into a streak of white light and disappeared in the space.
Lyu Liang was stunned and then started to admire the inventor. It turned out to be not a real demon beast! Then it must be the profound formation set by a powerful figure in space techinque. The Thousands Beast Mansion lived up to the title of being the number one force in the Kunlun Territory. It really had extraordinary foundations!
As Lyu Liang kept going, he met more demon beasts, which were more and more powerful. In the end, Lyu Liang had to activate the Devil Immortal Qi in his Qi Storage Pearl and used his Xuanyuan Swordsmanship and Heart Swordsmanship simultaneously. Relying on the domain-like vortex, he came to the end of the cave.
As he killed the last giant bear, a streak of white light flashed and he disappeared. The next moment, he appeared in a large hall, where several teams were standing in twos and threes. At this time, a mansion disciple came with a smile, cupped his hands, and said, ”Congratulations! Taoism Peer, you've got through the Thousand Beast Space. Please be patient and wait for your fellows.”
Lyu Liang felt relieved. It looked like he had passed the test. He could not help but wonder, ”How are other people going?”
