Along the way, though there were some ferocious beasts that were difficult to deal with, Ye Tian still made it through without any real danger.
Ever since he had accepted the cultivator behind him, the road that had appeared ordinary for some reason became far more perilous. Moreover, though the two were clearly so close together, Ye Tian repeatedly failed to detect the other's aura.
What was even stranger was that, though neither had swallowed a Purple Core, Ye Tian was hunted time and again, while the cultivator behind him was not affected in the slightest.
All these signs could not help but make Ye Tian wonder whether this cultivator truly had a physical body.
"The wooden house is here." Ye Tian pointed toward the wooden house in the distance, signaling for the cultivator to act.
He had already investigated it. This place truly required a key to open it. Since he did not know the layout within, Ye Tian did not dare act recklessly.
If he carelessly damaged something inside, it would be like drawing water with a bamboo basket.
The cultivator nodded with a smile, then took out an object and placed it into a groove on the small path before the wooden house.
Immediately afterward, the wooden house, which had appeared entirely seamless, suddenly opened its door outward.
The cultivator looked at Ye Tian without wavering in the least and calmly spoke a few words. "I am the guardian spirit of this place. Though ours is a relationship of mutual use, I still admire your courage in entering this place without taking a Purple Core. Your strength is also breathtaking. You have passed the trial."
As his words fell, the cultivator turned into a wisp of cloud and smoke, dispersing between heaven and earth.
