94: They arrived one after another
While the group was chatting, someone else retreated from the trial in a sorry state.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, were you also forced out by the Five Elements Spirit Fire?"
Everyone looked at the ash-covered, red-robed large man and inquired.
"So all of you have already heard from Fellow Daoist Cen.
That's right, that Vermilion Bird forced me back using the Scarlet Sun Heavenly Fire.
My fire-attribute Divine Abilities are simply showing off before an expert in front of it.
What a disgrace!"
The large man surnamed Zhong gave a wry smile.
After seeing the woman surnamed Cen, who had entered the trial before him, had already come out.
He finally understood that everyone had learned the news about the trial from her.
One must know that he was also a famous Core Formation Cultivator of long standing.
His inherent power was immense, making fellow Cultivators of the same stage slightly fearful of him.
Among everyone present, if Su Yu wasn't here, he would likely be the strongest.
Furthermore, he Cultivated a top-tier Divine Ability with immense power, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.
But facing the Scarlet Sun Heavenly Fire, which countered all flames, he was defeated, and even his beard was curled up from the burn.
"In that case, it seems difficult for the few of us to pass the trial.
However, since this trial is divided into the Five Elements, can't we utilize the principle of Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint of the Five Elements to pass the trial?"
Someone analyzed aloud.
"Hehe, that makes sense.
We originally entered the trials corresponding to our attributes because we thought having the same attribute would give us an advantage.
That's why we rushed in recklessly.
If it really is Mutual Restraint of the Five Elements, perhaps that is the way to break this trial!
Once the other Fellow Daoists come out, we'll each try again. If it truly doesn't work, we can only retreat."
Everyone nodded; these words were reasonable and well-founded.
If the Five Saints Trial cannot be passed, the next layer of the Lingji Palace will not open.
It would be meaningless for the group to stay any longer.
They might as well go outside to search for some Heaven And Earth Treasure, and then immediately withdraw from the Secret Realm when the time limit is up.
Soon, the remaining three people also withdrew from the trial.
When they saw Elders Cen and Zhong, who had already come out, a trace of awkwardness flashed in their eyes.
After all, they had entered the trial full of confidence, only to be easily beaten out.
Their old faces were utterly disgraced.
Afterward, Su Yu and the others discussed the matter of the Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint of the Five Elements that was previously mentioned.
The three of them had no objections.
After half an hour of meditation, they, along with the other two, entered the corresponding restrained Five Elements Trial according to the principle of mutual restraint of the Five Elements... Meanwhile, in other parts of the Secret Realm.
People from the Eight Sects of the Tang Kingdom Cultivation world found many former ruins of the Chengfeng Sect within the Secret Realm.
Based on the ancient texts found at the ruins, they learned the core area of this Secret Realm.
It was precisely the mountain gate of the Chengfeng Sect.
They were currently heading toward this location.
The Secret Realm was too dangerous, and many Core Formation Experts from some Sects had already perished.
However, there were benefits as well.
The Heaven And Earth Treasure they discovered were all over ten thousand years old!
This was enough to offset the risks of this trip.
As they successively arrived at the massive mountain range where the Chengfeng Sect ruins were located, they looked at the huge palace within the mountains.
Their eyes all shone brightly.
If they weren't mistaken, this place should be the Legacy site within the Secret Realm!
"Fellow Daoists of Golden Cloud Mountain, we'll be going ahead first!"
The Sword Cultivators from True Sword Mountain were the first of the Eight Sects to arrive.
Seeing the Core Formation Cultivators of Golden Cloud Mountain close behind, they chuckled and then walked into the Lingji Palace.
A vast sea of clouds, a stone stele, and a flight of steps appeared before their eyes.
However, they did not understand the silver tadpole script, so they only glanced at the stele. Seeing a passage, they knew someone had already beaten them to it.
"I don't know which Sect they belong to, but since we are here, they shouldn't dream of taking this Opportunity all to themselves!"
Next, without thinking, they stepped onto the stairs.
And fell into an Illusion.
However, with the steadfast Dao Heart of a Sword Cultivator, they quickly broke through the Illusion.
These Thousand Steps couldn't trap them at all.
Before long, they had already reached the second layer.
"It's actually you!"
The people from True Sword Mountain had just arrived on the second layer when they spotted the Core Formation Cultivators of the Xuanxiao Sect, instantly becoming extremely vigilant.
In terms of strength, the Xuanxiao Sect originally had ten Core Formation Cultivators!
But why were there only five people in front of them?
"So it's the Fellow Daoists from True Sword Mountain. I didn't expect you to find this place too."
Su Yu looked at the newcomers and spoke with a calm expression.
"We can't compare to Fellow Daoist Su and your group.
But, Fellow Daoist Su, where exactly is this place?
You arrived early; could you explain this location to us?"
The Sword-carrying Pale-faced Man from True Sword Mountain asked with an arrogant expression.
"Haven't Fellow Daoists already guessed? This is the Legacy site of a Spirit Transformation Cultivator.
However, our Core Formation Elders from the Xuanxiao Sect are currently undergoing the trial.
If Fellow Daoists also wish to attempt the Five Saints Trial, you must wait until our people come out."
Su Yu spoke indifferently.
The five people who entered from True Sword Mountain were all Late Core Formation Stage Sword Cultivators.
But currently, there were only four people here.
Clearly, one person had perished along the way.
If they truly fought over the Opportunity on this second layer, Su Yu and the others naturally wouldn't be afraid.
"So that's how it is. In that case, we will wait patiently."
The Sword-carrying Pale-faced Man scanned Su Yu and the five others with a calm expression, calculating in his heart how confident he would be in taking them down if he made a move.
But the moment he thought about the five other Experts currently in the trial, he immediately suppressed the killing intent in his heart.
Of course, it wasn't that he was afraid of Su Yu's group.
Rather, he didn't want others to benefit from their conflict.
After all, the people from Golden Cloud Mountain were right behind them.
After a while, the people from Golden Cloud Mountain finally passed the first layer's trial and arrived in the second layer space.
As soon as they entered, they saw two groups of people looking at them, causing their hearts to immediately panic.
Especially since True Sword Mountain and Golden Cloud Mountain were rivals.
They were afraid that the two groups would unite with the Xuanxiao Sect's people to attack them.
"Fellow Daoists, since you've arrived, find a place to sit. After all, only one person can enter each trial path."
Su Yu spoke toward the people of Golden Cloud Mountain.
"Oh, a trial? Fellow Daoist, could you please explain a little? I would be extremely grateful!"
The Gray-robed Large Man cupped his hands toward Su Yu and spoke with an earnest expression.
"This is the second Legacy space of the Lingji Palace. Passing the trials within these Five Saints Statues will open the third Legacy space."
Su Yu was concise; saying this much was already because the man's attitude was decent.
As for those arrogant ones from True Sword Mountain, he couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to them.
Let alone explain anything.
"I see! It looks like the Fellow Daoists from the Xuanxiao Sect are currently in the trial, so we will wait for a moment.
If Fellow Daoist and your group pass the trial, we can then enter the next layer."
The Gray-robed Large Man looked at the five massive statues nearby and spoke with sudden realization.
No wonder people from the two Sects were waiting here; it turned out someone was already undergoing the trial.
He just didn't know if they could pass. If they couldn't, it would be fine, but if they truly passed the trial, wouldn't all the treasures in the Legacy space be taken by them?
Although he had these thoughts internally, the Gray-robed Large Man still had to maintain appearances.
