The trial in Maze Canyon
With Wu Qi's current cultivation level, coupled with the flight ability inherent in his Martial Soul, he returned to Spirit City in less than ten days.
Currently, Bibi Dong is conserving her strength and making no moves, and the mainland appears unusually calm.
But Wu Qi knew that this was only the calm before the storm, after which a fierce conflict would erupt.
At the entrance to Spirit City, the guards of the Worship Hall had been waiting for a long time.
The moment the guards saw Wu Qi, they didn't give him a chance to rest and immediately led him to the Worship Hall.
Of course, this was deliberately arranged by Qian Daoliu.
Knowing that Wu Qi had completed his training and had stayed in Wangbei City and Heaven Dou City, they sent people to guard the city gates to prevent him from continuing to "slack off".
Worship Hall.
The murderous aura within the Divine Slaughter's Domain is nothing but evil thought before the Six-Winged Angel.
Therefore, Qian Daoliu immediately determined that Wu Qi had successfully completed the trial and obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
What puzzled him was...
"The killing intent within the Divine Slaughter's Domain can erode Soul Master's spirit, making them extremely irritable. How did you suppress it?"
According to intelligence, Wu Qi arrived at Wangbei City immediately after completing his training.
During this time, there was no sign of him displaying any murderous intent, clearly indicating that he had been able to control it.
Wu Qi's experience is crucial to the Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, it will be recorded in the top-secret data on the Slaughter City, so that future geniuses can suppress their murderous intent.
Wu Qi obtained the Head Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone from the Secret Realm; it was not recorded in the Spirit Hall's archives.
Currently, the only information available about Wu Qi is Xiao Wu's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
However, Qian Daoliu was aware of the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. If he were to reveal that it was Head Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, many powerful figures in the hall would likely harbor resentment towards him.
After all, he only possessed the strength of Soul Emperor, yet he had three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone —it was simply unheard of.
Wu Qi decided to keep this a secret, saying, "Because of the Immortal Herb. I have absorbed three Immortal Herb, one of which enhanced my Spiritual Power."
"Coincidentally, Hu Liena later entered the Slaughter City, and I obtained the Spiritual Power cultivation method from her, which I used to suppress the killing intent within my body."
"After obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain, I contained this killing intent within the domain, which is why I wasn't affected at all."
This is the benefit of reading more books; even when lying, it sounds flawless, and every sentence makes sense.
Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but complain, "You brat, are you really giving away Immortal Herb for free? Three Immortal Herb could nurture three geniuses for the palace."
After all, it was Wu Qi who brought and discovered the Immortal Herb.
Although the Enshrined Elders complained, they did not criticize Wu Qi.
Of course, they wouldn't know that the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot could not be absorbed individually.
Anyone who dares to absorb the nutrients separately is courting death.
Qian Daoliu stopped pressing the matter and instead said, "Your Master has gone out on a mission, but he has agreed to the upcoming Trial Mission."
"Next, the three of you will be training in the Lost Grand Canyon. Unlike the Death Grand Canyon, you won't need to draw any missions this time."
"There's only one requirement for the mission: enter the deepest Oasis and retrieve the Sand Mandala Sand Mandala the riverbank. Whether it's the entire plant, stems, leaves, seeds, or even just a single leaf, it counts as completing the mission."
"Since you're working as a team, you only need to collect one copy."
Thousand Jun Douluo reminded him, "Be careful, don't think that just because you're being asked to pick Sand Mandala, this Trial Mission is easy."
"You still have your Gold Token. The Exiles inside who take your Gold Token will gain their freedom."
Similarly, without Gold Token, you can't leave there.
In this respect, it is similar to the ordeal in Death Grand Canyon.
But the dangers of the Lost Grand Canyon go far beyond that; the environment there makes it extremely easy to get lost, and once lost, one may never be able to get out.
Moreover, there are Soul Beast among them, and with multiple dangers present, the survival rate of the Trialist is almost zero.
The reason Hu Liena and the other two were able to escape was largely due to the presence of Kite Falcon Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo.
The two Titled Douluo maintained a slight distance from them at all times. During the retreat, the two Titled Douluo, who knew the route, would instinctively walk on the correct path.
Having received prior guidance from Bibi Dong, Hu Liena and her two companions followed the two Elder closely, which enabled them to complete their training in a short period of time.
Qian Daoliu disdained such cheating.
Therefore, no one will follow Wu Qi and the others on their training journey.
If one dies, a powerful expert will come to retrieve their Soul Bone.
Finally, Qian Daoliu made a promise, "If you can safely complete your training in the Maze Canyon, I will allow you to train in the Poisonous Land upon your return."
"For some reason, the Poisonous Land may open ahead of schedule, and your teacher has already gone to gather intelligence."
Wu Qi hurriedly asked, "Open? Grandpa Qian, what does that mean?"
Qian Daoliu laughed and said, "In the past, we misunderstood the situation there."
"In fact, the Poisonous Land is a small world, similar to the Slaughter City. For some reason, another exit from the Poisonous Land has appeared."
"Furthermore, according to the investigation, the frequency with which the poisonous plants release toxins is gradually decreasing, which may be a sign that the area is being opened up."
"I won't go into the details now; you'll know everything once you've completed your training in the Maze Canyon."
"Information about the training in the Maze Canyon will be delivered to you shortly."
"Chang Kong and the others are waiting for you at the usual place. Go, and reunite with them as soon as possible, trying to depart within a month."
Leave the Worship Hall.
Wu Qi couldn't help but recall what Xue Qinghe had said before, coupled with Qian Daoliu's words today.
He could vaguely piece together the whole picture.
In the past, the Spirit Hall's investigations into Poisonous Land were based solely on accounts from Azure Luan Douluo and Nether Leopard Douluo, which were extremely limited.
There must be a reason for the sudden influx of so many messages.
"Could it be that the Wu Family found another entrance to the Poisonous Land, and Xue Qinghe, after learning about it, reported it to Spirit City?"
This speculation sounds rather far-fetched.
Wu Family to Xue Ye, and he wouldn't report such matters to Xue Qinghe alone.
Perhaps the Wu Family played an important role in this, or perhaps Wu Qi was simply overthinking it.
Wu Qi wasn't in a hurry about the Poisonous Land.
He will know what he needs to know in the future. Moreover, judging from Qian Daoliu's words, that place is very likely the site of the Deity Inheritance.
As for what kind of god it was, Wu Qi would never know.
For now, it's enough to just have a general idea about this; there's no point in thinking about it in depth.
The fact that the Maze Canyon is on par with the Slaughter City speaks volumes about its danger.
In the Slaughter City, Wu Qi can rely on a 100,000-year-old skull to suppress the invasion of murderous aura.
In some ways, he has avoided the most dangerous part.
The dangers in the Maze Canyon are real and tangible.
Whether it can be avoided or not is up to fate.
