The third Trial Chamber.
After making numerous preparations, the No. 1 puppet reached into the storage bag at its waist, and the thirty-two Spirit Stone transformed into eight beams of light, shooting towards the eight Recessed Nest on the stone platform.
moment.
The four Gilded Puppet transformed into four afterimages and charged towards Cheng Buzheng's main body.
See here.
Two puppets blocked their way, but four Gilded Puppet appeared in the blink of One Thought.
On one of the Gilded Puppet, a red line completely connects the two metal eyebrows at the center of its brow.
But the Gilded Puppet did not stop moving. It turned into a blur, and the spiritual light on its metal arms intensified, striking the crystal-like shield.
As time went on, the damage values of the other two gilded weapons soon reached the threshold.
Once the last Gilded Puppet reached its fixed damage threshold, all four Gilded Puppet instantly stopped moving and returned to the stone platform.
Cheng Buzheng glanced at the Spirit Jade Timer embedded in the wall.
--9.12514545
See here.
Cheng Buzheng was somewhat worried, but he did not stop what he was doing. With a wave of his hand, he swept the thirty-two Waste Stone in the eight Recessed Nest on the stone platform to the corners.
immediately.
He touched the storage bag at his waist, and sixty-four Spirit Stone transformed into eight streams of light that shot into the Recessed Nest.
The four Gilded Puppet started up again.

It took seven attempts to finally reach seven. Just activating the Gilded Puppet alone cost him over four thousand Spirit Stone.
The first level cost 64 Spirit Stone, and the second level cost 544 Spirit Stone. Subtracting the costs of the first two levels, the total value obtained was over 2,500 Spirit Stone.
However, the massive expenditure of the three trials wiped out all his previous gains, and his wealth also decreased by more than two thousand Spirit Stone.
Fortunately, he had prepared over five thousand Spirit Stone, and he still had over three thousand Spirit Stone left.
Otherwise, there really wouldn't be enough to build.
This is only the third level, what about the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels?
Thinking of this, Cheng Buzheng help but worry.
This is somewhat different from what is recorded in the Jade Slip. Most cultivators can only activate the Gilded Puppet three times at most, either to enter the Spirit Herb Garden or the Blood Battle Chamber.
However, it's rare for someone to attempt the trial four times in a row. Even if a cultivator does encounter this, they will stop the trial and wait for a month to pass before being teleported out for the next trial.
But this time is different. The Secret Realm will not be reopened for another sixty years, and he doesn't have the time to wait.
Cheng Buzheng murmured to himself;
"Am I really that unlucky?"
"It seems we have no choice but to implement the second plan!"
Just when Cheng Buzheng to question the meaning of life...
Within the Secret Realm, the cultivators participating in the trial also bared their fangs. Those who had made prior arrangements used the same coordinates to step onto the Teleportation Array, gathered in the same Spirit Herb Garden, and began hunting down any cultivators who were alone.
Of course, there were also cultivators who encountered tough opponents.
Most cultivators ignored this, letting the other party take the spirit medicine, and then returned safely.
This is not the time for a fierce battle. Everyone can only take two spirit medicine at most. However, the Spirit Herb Garden in the third and fourth levels are filled with the most elite cultivators from various Immortal Sect.
It is also the place where the most blood is drawn.
The fifth level, the Spirit Herb Garden, is a place accessible only to top experts from various sects or cultivators possessing rare treasures.
Ordinary cultivators are no match for the sixteen Gilded Puppet, each possessing the strength of the Late Qi Refining Stage realm.
As for the sixth level, almost no cultivator can pass it.
Most cultivators of average strength remain at the stage before reaching the third level.
Because they knew that entering the third and fourth levels was a desperate gamble, hoping to obtain enough spirit medicine to exchange for Foundation Establishment.
Those cultivators who are self-aware have a high chance of surviving the trial to the end.
Ironically, many highly skilled cultivators ultimately failed at the third or fourth level.
As you progress further, the number of available Spirit Herb Garden Spirit Herb Garden decreases. There are only seventy-two Spirit Herb Garden in the third Spirit Herb Garden, thirty-six in the fourth, Spirit Herb Garden in the fifth, and nine in the sixth...
The further you go, the greater the probability of encountering other cultivators, which also means that bloodshed will occur more frequently.
Zhu Da of the Green Wood Sect is a cultivator who wants to try his luck on the Immortal Path to Foundation Establishment.
The third level takes place in a Spirit Herb Garden.
At this moment, Zhu Da was surrounded by three figures with shiny black bodies and bared fangs. He looked pale-faced at the young man carrying a coffin on his back. The young man was expressionless, with a wooden look in his eyes.
Not far from Zhu Da, there were two cultivators dressed in the robes of the Green Wood Sect, but their bodies were torn in two, with a large hole in their hearts.
This was the man who killed two cultivators right in front of Zhu Da. They were originally tasked with collecting the identity Identity Token of the Demonic Sect sect disciples for their ancestral master's mission, which is why the three of them gathered together to kill him.
Unfortunately, neither of their weapons could penetrate the Iron Armored Corpse' defenses, whether they were high-grade magic Law Artifact or Talisman. Instead, the two men met a tragic end at the hands of the three Iron Armored Corpse.
It was precisely because of his higher cultivation level that he had survived until now, but unfortunately, he was now completely unable to escape.
The person before him had no intention of letting him go. He was no match for the three Iron Armored Corpse and the disciple of the Demonic Sect. Even if his three fellow disciples were resurrected, there would be no hope, let alone now.
See here.
Zhu Da was completely desperate.
"If you commit suicide, I can preserve your body and refine it into Iron Armored Corpse!"
The young cultivator spoke in a hoarse, cold voice.
"Then, go die!"
Knowing he could not survive, he erupted in despair, unleashing both of his superior-grade magic Law Artifact, which transformed into two streaks of light that slashed towards the youth.
"Madness!"
Three burly men, their bodies gleaming with an eerie light, appeared. Two of the Iron Armored Corpse dodged two Law Artifact with a quick step, while one of the Iron Armored Corpse extended a dark arm, its five fingers flashing with cold light, and shattered Zhu Er's defensive shield with a single blow, ripping out his heart before swallowing it whole.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the expressionless Demonic Sect cultivator did not move an inch.
immediately.
The three Iron Armored Corpse ate and drank to their hearts' content, and before long, only a pile of white bones remained on the spot, without a trace of flesh or blood.
Meanwhile, the young Demonic Sect cultivator carrying the coffin looted all the spiritual items.
After the Iron Armored Corpse had eaten and drunk its fill, it stepped onto the Teleportation Array and left the Spirit Herb Garden.
Similarly, in another location, within the Spirit Herb Garden of the second level.
A female disciple of the Mysterious Yin Sect, drenched in sweat, was desperately trying to defend against a sword. The defensive shield emanating from the Top-grade Defensive Magic Tool was already rippled, and it looked like it was about to give way!
Not far from her, on the ground, lay a Silk Handkerchief Magic Tool, but it had been cleaved in two.
"Brother from the Ancient Sword Sect, could you please spare me this once? I'm willing to serve Martial Brother for the entire night!"
In the face of death, this woman disregarded shame and unhesitatingly sold her body, using her greatest asset as a woman to seduce her lover and gain a chance at survival.
She gazed at the person before her with deep affection.
The Sword Cultivator opposite him, however, did not change his expression at all; his gaze remained cold and stern.
In response to this...
The female cultivator from the Mysterious Yin Sect couldn't help but feel uneasy, completely uncertain about her future.
The young Sword Cultivator glanced at the female cultivator before him with a cold expression and said in a chilling tone:
"Don't even think about it!"
"Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed."
The Sword Cultivator seemed to be enraged. The sword in front of him shone brightly, like Flood Dragon ascending to the sky. It transformed into a stream of light and cleaved through the protective shield of the Top-grade Magic Tool with a single strike. The female cultivator inside the shield was also cut in two.
The female cultivator from the Mysterious Yin Sect never imagined that her words would hasten her own demise.
immediately.
The young Sword Cultivator put away all the spiritual items, since forging the sword body for the Sword Soul would require a considerable amount of Spirit Stone in the future.
After that, he didn't look at the female cultivator again and stepped onto the Teleportation Array to leave!
