96: Unknown sects, inheritance trials

Half an incense stick's time passed.

Su Yun and Xie Yulan finally left that fog-shrouded desert.

"This is?"

"A Sect?"

Xie Yulan looked at the buildings ahead with some surprise.

These buildings were wrapped in a multicolored light barrier.

Judging by the architectural style, it looked just like a cultivation Sect.

"It seems so, but I can't tell which Sect it is."

Su Yun carefully observed the surroundings but didn't find a single word.

Generally speaking, Sects would carve their names on the outside.

However, this place that was suspected to be a Sect didn't have any characters at all.

"I'll try to see if I can get in!"

After Xie Yulan finished speaking, she flashed to the vicinity of the light barrier and tried to pass through it, but unfortunately, she was blocked.

"What's going on?

Could it be that we have to break this Formation to enter?"

"Azure Wood Light!"

Xie Yulan circulated her spiritual power, a green light blooming from her body, and then she suddenly attacked the light barrier.

A hundred-zhang green light orb smashed directly against the multicolored light barrier.

Unfortunately, it had no effect whatsoever.

"Senior Sister Yulan, there's no need to rush. I suspect this light barrier cannot be opened by direct attack."

Su Yun carefully observed the spiritual power fluctuations on the light barrier.

He found that its intensity was similar to the spiritual power intensity of the Enlightenment Realm attacks he had seen before.

In other words, without the Enlightenment Realm, it was impossible to forcibly open this light barrier.

"Junior Brother Yun, then what should we do?"

Xie Yulan's pretty face turned slightly red as she asked somewhat embarrassedly.

She had repeatedly said before that she would protect Su Yun.

But not long after, she encountered a problem she couldn't solve.

As the Eldest Senior Sister of Jade Pearl Peak, this was the first time she had encountered such an awkward situation.

"I think we can wait for everyone else to arrive and then see."

Su Yun vaguely felt that opening this light barrier required certain conditions.

"Okay, I'll listen to Junior Brother Yun!"

"Let's go to the side to adjust our breathing and recover our spiritual power."

"Okay!"

After Xie Yulan finished speaking, she took the initiative to pull Su Yun to a corner of the light barrier.

After dozens of breaths, many Cultivators gradually broke out from the fog.

"What is this?"

"Don't think you can block my path!"

"Mad Beast Strike!"

Seeing the multicolored light barrier blocking his way, Chang Ye directly launched an attack.

A phantom of a giant beast appeared on his body, and then he transformed into a hundred-zhang phantom of a fierce beast to attack the multicolored light barrier.

As a result, the light barrier did not move a bit, but instead, a powerful counter-shock force directly sent him flying.

He slammed heavily onto the ground, making a loud noise.

"Is this all the strength people from the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land have?"

"Fairy Xie, watch how I break this light barrier!"

Shen Yan glanced at Xie Yulan confidently.

Then, a red spiritual light flashed on his body.

"Heaven Burning Flames!"

The red flames on Shen Yan's body gathered together to form a hundred-zhang red fireball.

Immediately after, with a wave of his hand, the fireball instantly attacked the light barrier.

As a result, the light barrier remained motionless, and the fireball directly disappeared.

"That's it?"

"Is this all the ability people from the Tianyang Holy Land have?"

Chang Ye rose from the ground and spoke to Shen Yan with a look of disdain.

Although the clothes on his body were somewhat damaged, he didn't seem to be injured.

"You!"

Shen Yan's face immediately darkened upon hearing this, yet he had no way to refute it.

At this time, all the Cultivators on the field who had passed through the fog had arrived.

The number of people was a full half less.

There were at least three to four hundred Cultivators who entered the Secret Realm earlier, but now only fewer than two hundred Cultivators had arrived before the light barrier.

"The number of trial participants has been gathered.

Welcome, Cultivators, to the *** Sect Trial."

An ethereal voice suddenly rang out.

All the Cultivators present heard this voice.

"Who is it?"

"What's going on?"

The Cultivators present all looked around in confusion.

"Look, there are Formation patterns on the ground!"

A Cultivator suddenly discovered countless Formation lines lighting up on the ground.

Then, everyone only felt their vision blur, and they entered inside the light barrier.

At this time, that ethereal voice spoke again:

"The trial begins. The subjects' talent will be assessed, and finally, they will receive an evaluation of one of four Ranks: Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, or top grade.

The top grade Rank is the highest. Those with the highest Rank can enter all areas of the Land of Opportunity, including the Low Grade, Medium Grade, and High Grade areas.

A top grade evaluation allows one to take away four opportunities, while other evaluations can only take away one.

Other Ranks can only enter their corresponding areas."

As soon as the voice fell.

A stream of light flashed under everyone's feet.

"Junior Brother Yun, you must be careful. I suspect this assessment will be conducted separately for each of us."

Xie Yulan looked at Su Yun with some concern.

Although Su Yun's combat power was strong, he was, after all, only at the Golden Core Realm.

"Okay, Senior Sister Yulan, you also be careful."

Su Yun felt a warmth in his heart and answered seriously.

He didn't expect that Xie Yulan, whom he had just met not long ago, would care about him so much.

It was probably because he was Luo Qingshuang's Junior Brother.

After all, Xie Yulan seemed to be very good friends with Luo Qingshuang.

A second later, streams of light flashed.

Everyone disappeared from their original spots... into an unknown space.

"Is this the Trial Grounds?"

"How come there's nothing here?"

Su Yun looked around and found himself in the center of the space.

There was nothing around.

Just as he was wondering.

A light suddenly flashed opposite him.

Immediately after, a figure appeared on the opposite side.

"Is this a Puppet?"

"Isn't this the Puppet I saw before in the Xuanji Trial Tower?"

Su Yun carefully observed the Puppet opposite him.

He found that this Puppet seemed to be a combined version of the two types of Puppets he had seen in the Xuanji Trial Tower before.

Not only was its appearance very similar to an ordinary Cultivator.

It also contained a vast amount of spiritual power within its body.

Its outer shell also seemed to be made of a precious Artifact Refining material.

"Trial begins, Realm: Golden Core Eighth Layer."

A voice rang out.

The Puppet was instantly activated.

The spiritual power on its body gushed out, and it directly attacked Su Yun.

"Golden Core Eighth Layer?"

"Too weak."

Spiritual power surged within Su Yun's body, and then he flashed to appear in front of the Puppet.

He threw a punch directly, colliding with the Puppet's fist.

The Puppet's arm was instantly blown apart.

As if sensing the strength of Su Yun's physical body.

The Puppet immediately circulated spiritual power, wanting to pull away.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Su Yun directly threw out countless red and white fist shadows, smashing the Puppet into pieces.

"Is it over just like this?"

Su Yun flashed back to his original spot.

At this time, the Puppet fragments on the ground suddenly disappeared.

"Realm: Golden Core Ninth Layer."

That voice rang out once again.

A white light flashed in front of Su Yun.

Another Puppet appeared in front of him.

"Good grief, so the test is to continuously increase the Puppet's Rank."

Su Yun circulated his spiritual power again and instantly appeared in front of the Puppet.

In less than a second, the Golden Core Ninth Layer Puppet was again smashed to pieces by him.

"Too weak."

Su Yun looked at the shattered Puppet, feeling somewhat helpless.

Currently, his strength was at least at the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer.

These Golden Core Realm Puppets were just a matter of one punch to him.

At this time, that ethereal voice rang out again.
