Cause and Effect Trial
The Guardian Deity General turned around, facing the more than 100,000 Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and after scanning them all, spoke loudly.
His voice was powerful and resonant, accompanied by a surge of Spiritual Qi that spread outwards, rumbling across the sea.
"The Four Symbols Nine Trials are now open. Those who wish to enter the Secret Realm must be prepared to die. Life and death are Secret Realm. Once inside, no one may leave the Secret Realm for six months, regardless of the method used!"
"Secondly, entering the Four Symbols Secret Realm requires paying Spirit Items corresponding to one's cultivation level. However, cultivators practicing the 'Four Symbols Constellation Treatise' can disregard this rule!"
As soon as he finished speaking, ignoring the expressions of the many cultivators, the Guardian Deity General turned and stepped into the towering pillar of light, disappearing from sight.
"Let's go, let's enter the Four Symbols Secret Realm together!" Yang Tianyou glanced back at his clansmen, laughed heartily, and rode his Escape Light toward the distant pillar of light.
Not only him, but as the Guardian Deity General departed, Cultivator were prepared, and even Foreign Races, began to enter the Four Symbols Secret Realm.
The latter naturally know that they cannot inherit the skills, but that does not mean they cannot use this grand event to hone themselves.
Prodigies from Foreign Races, such as Youjue of the Ghost Tribe Clan and Jing Fuhai of the Xuan Whale Clan, followed in the footsteps of the Human Race cultivators and surged into the pillar of light that reached the heavens.
Buzz!!
Upon entering the pillar of light, a suction force came from below, along with some kind of spatial power. Yang Tianyou felt his body lighten and his mind go blank. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in an enormous Palace.
This Palace can accommodate 100,000 people. On the surface of the dome directly above, a lifelike White Tiger head is engraved, representing that this is a palace belonging to the White Tiger Lineage.
After Yang Tianyou, figures appeared out of thin air one after another. There were a total of 10,000 cultivators. He looked around but did not find the five clansmen.
Judging from the looks of it, they were probably assigned to another Palace.
Once all the cultivators had arrived, the Formation inside the Palace activated.
Myriad rays of spiritual light flashed, and a light screen appeared in front of each cultivator.
A line of text appears.
Please have your name engraved!
Yang Tianyou hesitated for a moment, then wrote down the two characters "Xiu He," without using his real name.
Although some memories would be erased by the power of the Formation after leaving the Secret Realm, Yang Tianyou instinctively wouldn't completely trust external things, so using a pseudonym was still more appropriate.
Other cultivators also wrote their names on the light screen, some using pseudonyms like Yang Tianyou.
Some are very casual and use their real names.
Of course, the latter might just be there for the fun of it, unaware that they could obtain a great fortuitous opportunity from the Four Symbols Sect and thus attract the attention of various external forces.
Once all the cultivators had written their names, the Palace Formation continued to operate, and nine hundred-foot-long gates, each inscribed with the Four Symbols totem and gleaming in bronze, slowly opened.
A vortex appeared in the center of the gate, as if it connected to another space.
There are four gates on the left and five gates on the right; these are the Four Symbols Nine Trials.
After the gate appeared, the voice of the Guardian Deity General resounded, this time announcing the rules.
"The Four Symbols Nine Trials are open to all cultivators at will."
The four checkpoints on the left side have no limit on the number of times you can enter, and they test the cultivator's combat strength.
The five gates on the right can only be entered once by each person, and they test a cultivator's aptitude, comprehension, Fortune, Karma, and perseverance on five levels.
Five months later, based on the comprehensive evaluation of the nine stages, the reward will be determined!
The following month will be the date for claiming the reward.
Six months from now, all cultivators will be expelled from the Four Symbols Secret Realm!
Finally, fighting is forbidden here; anyone who violates this rule will be immediately eliminated!
Now, the Four Symbols Nine Trials officially begins!
Wow!!
As the Guardian Deity General's voice faded, the entire Palace became lively, with Cultivators discussing among themselves.
"The Four Symbols Nine Trials... so it's not a matter of clearing each level one by one. I thought the rules here were the same as the Lineage's Trial Tower!"
"That's right, that's what I thought too. It seems that more than half of the various speculations about the Four Symbols Nine Trials are wrong. At least according to the information given by the Guardian Deity General, the test here is not just about combat strength. In this way, the gap between major powers and Rogue Cultivators will be narrowed a lot."
"I think that karmic Karma is a fatal problem for disciples from major powers. If not handled properly, it might be a method specifically set up by the Four Symbols Sect to weed out disciples from major powers."
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Yang Tianyou's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He looked around, examining the nine Daoist Sect, and finally chose to enter the Cause and Effect Trial first.
After all, if it's just about detecting Karma, it should be the least dangerous method. We can use this to explore the Four Symbols Nine Trials Gates and see how this comprehensive evaluation was derived.
Many cultivators made similar choices, either selecting the Fortune Trial or the Cause and Effect Trial, basically all of them choosing the five gates on the right side.
The four checkpoints on the left are designed to test combat strength, and they look dangerous at first glance.
Most people opted for the safer option, but some stubborn ones excitedly ran to the four gates on the left and stepped inside.
Arriving at the gate representing the Cause and Effect Trial, Yang Tianyou walked in calmly without hesitation.
It felt like passing through a curtain of water; a cool sensation flowed across the surface of my skin.
He passed through the gate and came into a quiet room that was no more than three zhang long and wide, and was simply furnished.
A Copper Mirror floats above, and a futon is placed in the corresponding position below it.
"Please sit on the meditation cushion and accept the test of Karma!"
A line of text appeared in front.
Yang Tianyou immediately went to the prayer mat, sat cross-legged, and faced the sky with his palms facing upwards, assuming a meditative posture.
Buzz!!
A beam of light shone down from above, just like when Tongming activated his Netherworld-Seeing Divine Eye, reaching deep into Yang Tianyou's soul.
Lines of Karma and effect appeared, and the mirror light moved accordingly until the two purple pillars of heaven appeared.
The mirror light showed no signs of stopping, continuing to shine down until it finally struck the thickest purple pillar.
Buzz!!
Purple qi aura swirled, like rolling clouds. This time, instead of the large dog from before, a pair of shimmering silver wings appeared.
The owner of these wings seemed to have a very bad temper; the wings were like swords that could slay immortals, and they slashed fiercely at the mirror light.
Click!!
The Copper Mirror in the quiet room shattered, turning into dust that fell in a flurry, and the mirror's luster vanished.
The Copper Mirror used to detect Karma shattered, Guardian Deity General who presided over the Four Symbols Nine Trials naturally sensed it, their gazes falling towards the quiet room where Yang Tianyou was.
When the dust from the shattered Copper Mirror came into view, the Guardian Deity General taken aback.
Having presided over so many trials of the Four Symbols Nine Trials, this is truly the first time that Copper Mirror has been destroyed during testing.
It should be noted that this is a sub-body of the Sixth Tier Saint Treasure Spirit-Appraising Mirror.
What kind of Karma could suffer such an outrageous and unbearable karmic retribution?
On the other side, Yang Tianyou opened his eyes, his expression strange, looking at the ball of light floating in front of him.
It feels like this thing is broken; it's wriggling erratically.
He was right. With the Copper Mirror destroyed, the original scoring mechanism could no longer function, just like a mechanism that got stuck, and it naturally stopped working.
"Such Karma, this person's origins are extraordinary. According to the edict left to me by my master..." The Guardian Deity General pondered for a moment, then pointed.
Buzz!!
As the ripples spread, the previously chaotic light began to arrange itself in an orderly fashion, forming several characters.
Name: Xiu He
