The Fortune Trial and the Aptitude Trial
Just after Yang Tianyou passed the Cause and Effect Trial.
Azure Dragon Palace.
The Little True Person Yueyang, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, stared at the light screen that appeared before him, the word "inferior" deeply piercing his heart.
Thinking back to Little True Person Yueyang, he had always considered himself a genius since his debut. When did the word "inferior" become associated with him?
"Impossible! This mirror must be faulty. Guardian Deity General, I demand another test!"
The Little True Person Yueyang said loudly, still unwilling to give up.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had he finished speaking than a force pushed him out of the room.
"This is outrageous! I refuse to accept this! This is discrimination!"
A Cause and Effect Trial caused immense suffering to all the disciples of major powers, including Little True Person Yueyang.
Full of confidence, they came to participate in the Four Symbols Nine Trials, but before setting off, none of them expected that there would be such a ridiculous pass Cause and Effect Trial the Four Symbols Nine Trials Pass.
They completely blocked their path.
On the other hand, those Foundation Establishment Cultivator come from independent Rogue Cultivator backgrounds or from Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining Lineage generally receive a "good" rating.
Disciples of the Golden Core Force were rated as average.
Those who received inferior ratings were either disciples of major Human Race, demonic Xiu He, or Foreign Races.
The latter is even worse; the Copper Mirror doesn't even reflect the image, directly judging it as inferior.
This made some Foreign Races prodigies, like Jing Fuhai, look grim, but they were helpless.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. I can only hope that there won't be any racial discrimination in the challenges ahead.
White Tiger Palace!
After passing through the Cause and Effect Trial, Yang Tianyou turned around and entered a large gate next to him.
Qualification check!
Stepping through the light curtain, the scene before my eyes changed, and a stone platform appeared.
The stone platform is octagonal, with each edge gleaming slightly. The light converges and forms a sphere of light about ten feet in diameter in the very center of the platform.
"Please enter the Spirit-Testing Platform to have your qualifications checked!"
Another line of text appeared, and Yang Tianyou stepped onto the stone platform and into the sphere of light.
Buzz!!
After he entered the sphere of light, layers of light swept out, from head to toe, from the outside in, from Fleshly Body to soul, beginning to test his aptitude layer by layer.
Fifteen minutes later, the sphere of light dimmed!
Yang Tianyou slowly opened his eyes, and the words in front of him changed.
Name: Xiu He
Level: Qualification Level
Spell Cultivator qualification evaluation: Good
Body Cultivator Aptitude Evaluation: Medium
Soul aptitude rating: Extreme
Evaluation of the practice of "The White Tiger Constellation Exposition": Extreme
Overall rating: Excellent
"Indeed, Cultivator practice the 'Four Symbols Constellation Treatise' will have a certain advantage when breaking through the Four Symbols Nine Trials!"
Other cultivators who haven't practiced this Cultivation Method should only have three aptitude evaluations, representing Essence Qi, and spirit respectively!
Looking at the handwriting in front of him, Yang Tianyou pondered.
After a while, a gentle repulsive force emerged from the stone platform. Yang Tianyou did not resist and was sent out of the aptitude test.
Both tests yielded "excellent" scores, which put him in a great mood.
Full of confidence, we continued into the third level: the Fortune Trial!
Passing through the light curtain, under the influence of the Formation's power, Yang Tianyou arrived at a plaza that was a hundred feet long and wide.
"The test of Fortune will begin in ten breaths. Please be prepared!"
The text reappeared, Yang Tianyou held his breath, waiting.
Ten breaths passed, and suddenly, an immense pressure descended.
Yang Tianyou's expression changed. Under this terrifying pressure, he could not mobilize his Fleshly Body, Spiritual Power, or Spiritual Awareness. He was like a mosquito trapped in amber, feeling extremely helpless.
Just then, hailstones began to fall from the sky, and Yang Tianyou's body was dragged by some force, beginning to move slowly and erratically.
When!!
A hailstone struck Yang Tianyou on the forehead, and a chill ran through him.
This was no ordinary ice cube; as soon as one fell, frost began to form on Yang Tianyou's body.
The Ice energy then invaded his Fleshly Body, damaging his physical structure.
"Is this the test of Fortune Trial? I estimate many people will die in this test..." Yang Tianyou thought solemnly.
One or two hailstones are manageable; even Foundation Establishment Cultivator can withstand them.
If more than ten are involved, even an ordinary Foundation Establishment will suffer some injuries.
Being hit by more than fifty hailstones would severely injure Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.
Being hit by a hundred of these projectiles would be fatal to even Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.
Judging from the way the hail is falling, many people will likely die in this Fortune Trial.
Just as Yang Tianyou had guessed, many of the cultivators who participated in the Fortune Trial had already perished on the spot, turning into lifelike ice sculptures standing on the square.
Their storage Law Artifacts were swept away by the power of the Formation and stored in the treasure vault of the Four Symbols Secret Realm.
This is the price to pay for conquering the Four Symbols Nine Trials.
This is not a charity hall. Every time the Four Symbols Nine Trials open, tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Cultivators perish.
Those who are alive reap the benefits, which is the envy of others.
The dead are forgotten except by their parents and friends.
People only see the obvious benefits and ignore the turbulent waves surging beneath the calm surface.
Everyone has a bit of wishful thinking, believing they might be the special one, perhaps even managing to pass the Four Symbols Nine Trials and gain the favor of the Guardian Deity General?
However, in reality, the Cultivation Resources that have flowed out of the Four Symbols Secret Realm over the past eight thousand years are roughly equivalent in amount to the legacy left behind by the many cultivators who died at the Four Symbols Nine Trials.
Of course, this does not include those cultivators who have truly received the Four Symbols Sect's inheritance.
Only the latter and the Four Symbols Sect themselves are the true winners of this trial. The other cultivators were actually lured in by the benefits and were just there to make up the numbers!
As time slowly passed in the square, more and more hailstones pelted Yang Tianyou.
The icy chill had begun to penetrate his internal organs, and his once fiery heartbeat gradually slowed down, becoming sluggish.
The scalding blood flowing within the blood vessels gradually begins to cool, and granular ice fragments begin to form within the vessels.
If this continues, his Fleshly Body will be completely frozen solid in just a few hours.
Even if a powerful soul manages to survive temporarily, without the protection of a physical body, the path to immortality will be largely severed.
"It seems my luck is really bad! Could it be that I used up all the Jade Register Heavenly Book after obtaining it?" Yang Tianyou muttered to himself, a strange smile creeping onto his face.
He wasn't too worried.
He actually had a fairly clear understanding of this Fortune Trial.
Fortune, Fortune!
What is luck?
Having great strength is also a kind of Fortune, and it is the greatest Fortune.
The strong can weather even the worst of times.
The weak, even with mountains of gold and silver, can still lose their lives because of it!
If even Yang Tianyou, with his current strength, can't overcome this Fortune Trial, how many of the other unfortunate cultivators will survive?
Therefore, the duration of this level will definitely not be very long.
He was certain of his hypothesis, so he simply waited calmly.
Half an hour later.
The immense pressure that had been pressing down on him suddenly dissipated, and the hail from the sky stopped falling.
Yang Tianyou felt relieved, and Scarlet Gold Scarlet Bright Demon Fire rose from his body.
Puff!!
A moment later, a wisp of dark blue blood was forced out of his body and landed on the square, where it solidified into a thin layer of black ice.
Only then did he have the mind to look at the light screen in front of him.
