Special Trial; A Choice of Three Sects
Inside the Five Elements Dojo, Ye Jingcheng, riding the Azure Swan Sword, looked at the approaching Qing Kongying with some confusion.
If Qing Kongying could see behind her at this moment, she would have noticed that there was another figure in golden robes behind Qing Kongying.
This golden figure was as if it didn't exist, yet also as if it had existed for countless centuries.
Eerie yet real.
Seeing Qing Kongying approaching, Ye Jingcheng decided not to hold back.
He had thought that Qing Kongying would bring a few Golden Core cultivators with him.
I was worried for a while, but I didn't expect the Azure Spirit Commerce Association to be such a careless bunch.
They sent a Purple Mansion and a late-stage third-tier Purple Moon Flame Fox.
Of course, the Purple Moon Flame Fox still greatly attracted Ye Jingcheng, and he couldn't help but take another look.
This is clearly a gift of Fire Attribute Flame Fox Essence Blood for him!
The Essence Blood of this kind of spirit fox are hard to find.
Ye Jingcheng raised his hand and unleashed the Azure Spirit Mirror, its azure light shooting towards the Qing Kongying.
This caused him to pause, but Qing Kongying also had many Law Treasure, and he took out another Spirit Talisman.
As soon as the Spirit Talisman was activated, it exploded with a blue light.
He sneered again and lunged at him with his gun!
This spear-shaped Law Treasure is clearly a mid-grade third-tier natal magic Law Treasure, and it has been nurtured for many years, making it extremely terrifying.
As the spear was thrust out, countless spear blossoms appeared in the void.
Qing Kongying's face was also full of confidence!
He was confident that he could forge a path and obtain the ultimate Five Phases inheritance!
But then Ye Jingcheng unleashed another spiritual technique, and a Golden Sand Seal fell out, transforming into ten smaller seals, each carrying countless yellow lights, and attacked Qing Kongying.
Qing Kongying remained fearless, even though all ten small seals were genuine.
His Thunderburst Spear was indeed formidable; those spear flashes pierced through every golden seal and the endless Huang Sha!
Just when he thought Ye Jingcheng had no other options, Ye Jingcheng released Jade Lin, the Golden-Scaled Beast, Golden Falcon the Crimson Flame Fox one by one.
He knew that the Earth Dragon Demon King wasn't taking action because he was afraid of breaking the Ye Family's rules for distribution.
They also wanted to give him all the benefits.
Instantly, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Golden-Scaled Beast appeared on the left and right, respectively, one unleashing the Water Dragon Technique and the other condensing the Earth-Scale Seal.
The Golden Falcon transformed into a golden sword and slashed away.
What started as a one-on-one situation instantly turned into a four-on-one situation.
As for the mid-stage third-tier spirit puppet, Ye Jingcheng used the Crimson Flame Fox to create an illusion and control it.
Puppet masters are different from cultivators at the Purple Mansion level; they can be captured.
Qing Kongying's expression changed drastically, and at that moment, he finally noticed the golden-robed figure behind him.
But it was too late. The golden Earth-Scale Seal applied a yellow spiritual light, causing it to sink into the mud and become unable to move.
After the Water Dragon Technique, there is also the Moon Slash and the Golden Falcon's transformation into a golden sword.
Even though Qing Kongying pulled out two more Law Treasure, he was still killed on the spot.
As Qing Kongying fell, Ye Haicheng activated the Yellow Bell Law Treasure.
Meanwhile, the Earth Dragon Demon King beside it was about to kill the Purple Moon Flame Fox with a single claw strike.
Although they intended to leave treasures for Ye Jingcheng and the others, the Purple Moon Flame Fox was, after all, a late-stage third-tier demon. It was no ordinary spirit demon, so they couldn't treat it with ordinary care.
If Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng were to make a move, unexpected events might occur.
Even if they don't escape, destroying the treasures here would still be a loss for the Ye Family.
"Elder Earth Dragon, show mercy! This fox cannot be killed, it can only be trapped!" Ye Xuefan said anxiously as soon as he came to his senses from the illusion.
Upon hearing this, even the Earth Dragon Demon King was taken aback.
"We just need to trap the Flame Fox. It can't be Qing Kongying's Spirit Beast. It's Azure Fox True Person's Spirit Beast. Once the Flame Fox appears, Azure Fox True Person will definitely be nearby, doing the mantis stalking the cicada. We'll just wait for Azure Fox True Person to enter the small world before we kill him!" Ye Xuefan explained.
Upon hearing this, Earth Dragon True Person nodded. Ye Xuefan then set up Array to contain the Purple Moon Flame Fox within it.
As for the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was also killed by Ye Haifei and Ye Xingyu in a joint effort.
The entire battle was swift and decisive.
"Destroy all the Azure Spirit Token, and also store all their unimportant clothing and even tokens separately in storage bracelets. They must not see our faces!" Ye Xuefan then looked at Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haifei and warned them.
"Hai Fei, Xingyu, they already know your identities and are keeping an eye on you outside. However, they probably only know about your Purplewood Sect, not your Ye Family!" Ye Xuefan reciting a familiar story. Seeing that Ye Xingyu still had doubts, Ye Xuefan patiently explained.
Everyone here is a pillar of the Ye Family's future.
Everyone needs to grow, not only in terms of combat skills and cultivation, but also in terms of knowledge and experience.
The group instantly realized what was happening, and with a touch of lingering fear, they proceeded with Ye Xuefan's plan.
Of course, at this moment, Ye Xingyu couldn't help but ask Ye Haifei out of curiosity.
"Uncle Fei, how did you know they were about to make their move!" Just before they made their move, Ye Haifei hinted to Ye Xingyu by touching the Spirit Beast bracelet.
"This Three-Legged Heavenly Ox Azure-Red Furnace before us is a sacrificial furnace. Only by offering a sacrifice can one pass through it. Any other sacrifice will result in a man-eating inferno!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the biggest test in the dojo, and we only have three chances, one chance per map. If we don't succeed, we might all be teleported out by the Teleportation Array here!" Ye Xuecang looked at the ground at the entrance of the palace and saw some strange patterns there.
Upon closer inspection, it does indeed share some similarities with the Teleportation Array used by the Ye Family.
"Therefore, he can't let us waste this opportunity!" Ye Haifei said, enunciating each word clearly.
Hearing this, Ye Xuefan was standing nearby, couldn't help but praise it as well.
"Actually, we've already passed two trials. Rogue Cultivator love to put people through tests. The first is the mountain gate, which should be the second. There's a third one inside. The Five Elements True Lord is looking for a successor, not just giving us treasures to play with!" Ye Haifei said, then looked at Ye Jingcheng, signaling him to take the challenge.
Ye Jingcheng is the most talented person here, and he is also the Ye Jingcheng cultivates the Five Phases.
"Jingcheng is probably the most suitable candidate, let's go in!" Ye Xuefan looked at Ye Jingcheng at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement. According to the analysis of his Lineage elders, he was indeed the most suitable candidate.
After all, the Five Elements True Lord released three Five Elements Spirit Palace Spirit Diagram, which means that he was prepared for this.
It is also the True Lord's Daoist Temple, which means that the temple is spreading the Daoist teachings.
There's no way there could be any danger.
"After this furnace, there will likely be further trials. You should consider your options carefully!" Ye Xuefan added at this moment.
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded, and the sentiment that "having an elder in the Yu Family is like having a treasure" arose spontaneously within him.
His success is undoubtedly due to the presence of many Clan Elders in the Ye Family.
When Ye Jingcheng entered the square, the Pill Furnace did not move, but a section of the treasure map in the sky dimmed.
As Ye Haifei clearly said, there are only three chances!
Ye Jingcheng had no intention of putting away the Pill Furnace, even though he really wanted it.
After all, the Heavenly Bell Furnace is only a second-tier top-grade furnace, while this is a third-tier high- Pill Furnace.
The furnace ash inside might even be a rare treasure.
But this treasure is the key to this test; if it is touched, some uncontrollable things may happen.
It's not appropriate to take action now.
Ye Jingcheng quickly passed by the Pill Furnace, and as soon as he did, it was as if the world had changed, and he had entered a new illusion!
What appeared before him was none other than the Five Phases World.
The first world was a volcanic land, filled with scorching lava. If one or two iron stones fell into the lava, they would melt into dust in less than half a breath, leaving only a wisp of smoke.
Ye Jingcheng was momentarily stunned, unsure how to get through this hurdle.
Moreover, he looked at his wrist and found that both the Spirit Beast bracelet and the storage bracelet had disappeared.
This means he can only rely on himself.
Boom!
At that very moment, a cultivator's spirit suddenly appeared on the opposite side, casting a fire serpent technique.
This fire serpent technique is extremely ingenious; it draws from magma and burns it on the earth.
Moreover, this Fire Serpent Technique is extremely divine and clearly different from ordinary Fire Serpent Techniques. Not only does it have countless variations in the air, but it also has a frighteningly high temperature.
This made Ye Jingcheng frown immediately; this fire serpent technique was probably quite powerful.
He also began to gather Law Technique, trying to defend himself.
To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the fire serpent did not attack him, but instead returned to the magma.
Furthermore, it lingers within the magma like a dragon, solidified and undispersed!
"Imitation Law Technique?" Ye Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, then a guess formed in his mind.
He then immediately began to use the Fire Serpent Technique.
He used the True Essence of the Crimson Flame Fox, giving him extremely high control over the flames.
It quickly recreated the fire serpent technique and surged into the magma.
Although it doesn't reach the full level of that spirit's power, it's enough to reach about 80% or 90%.
Any other cultivator, only one specializing in fire magic, could do that.
Sure enough, the scene before them completely changed; the firelight disappeared, and in its place appeared a clear blue sky and a boundless Jade Lake.
He stood tall on the Spirit Lake, surrounded by surging waves.
A short while later, another spirit appeared above the spirit lake.
This time, a water escape technique was used. The spirit shadow swiftly swept across the lake, leaving only some blue afterimages.
Ye Jingcheng felt that this test was far too easy for him.
He not only cultivated the Four Symbols and understood the Five Beasts, but also learned the Four-Aspect Secret Art.
However, despite thinking this way, Ye Jingcheng still cautiously compared the spirit image and began to imitate it exactly!
He Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's Beast Communion, instantly gathering water-based True Essence. As he made a hand seal, he transformed into a streak of blue light, swiftly sweeping across the lake.
The scene changed again, this time it was Wood Element spell, catalyzing the most complex dragon vine wood.
The dragon vine seed is also the most difficult to cultivate for Wood Element cultivators.
However, this was still far too simple for Ye Jingcheng.
He even felt that the Treasure Radiance could be catalyzed.
Next comes the Earth element's Cloud Shield Technique, and the Metal element's Golden Sword Art World.
Ye Jingcheng passed through the True Essence of the Beast Communion.
He reappeared in the square, glanced back, and found Ye Haifei and the others looking at him in surprise.
As if wondering why Ye Jingcheng had lingered there for so long.
Ye Jingcheng didn't say anything, but he finally got through this hurdle.
Moreover, in his view, this was the Five Elements True Lord selecting disciples to cultivate the Five Phases Method.
This made his heart skip a beat.
If that's the case, he's a little worried that there might not be a method to replenish the metal Spirit Root.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have set up such a test.
Even Ye Jingcheng himself couldn't have imagined that, besides himself, there would be a few other people without the five Spirit Root who could pass this test.
But after thinking for a moment, Ye Jingcheng shook his head again.
There's no point in discussing anything now; let's pass the test first and obtain the inheritance.
Ye Jingcheng continued walking towards the palace. This time, he pushed open the main gate first, but behind the gate, three more arched doorways appeared.
These three doors are not closed, but open.
Ye Jingcheng could see that within each of the three gates was a hall, and within each hall were treasures.
The leftmost one is a meditation hall, with an octagonal table in front of you. On the table are three Jade Slip slips and an ordinary statue of a god.
Each Jade Slip is protected by a spiritual shield.
In front of the table, there were also prayer cushions and an incense burner.
Inside the central portal was a row of wooden shelves, upon which were displayed a dazzling array of Law Treasure, clearly indicating a treasure hall.
The hall on the far right is even more mysterious.
It's also an eight-immortal table, with an incense burner, a futon, and scrolls at both ends.
On the octagonal table were three jade boxes, from which emanated a rich fragrance of spirit medicine, and sandalwood incense was burning.
There must be some rare treasure inside.
One of the jade boxes was transparent, and Ye Jingcheng could see that what was sloshing inside was the Purple Palace Jade Liquid.
For a moment, people were also speculating whether there might be Gold Condensation Pill inside.
Ye Jingcheng stared intently; the three halls were all incredibly opulent treasures.
It seems to correspond to three treasure maps.
Ye Jingcheng was momentarily puzzled. Could this be the Five Elements True Lord, taking one hall at a time?
The next moment, three spirit puppets appeared in front of the three arched doors.
These three spirit puppets didn't have strong auras; they were only at the late stage of the second tier.
At least in Ye Jingcheng's view, it was just a casual strike.
Ye Jingcheng was not surprised and chose the leftmost Cultivation Method to inherit.
Regardless of what the Five Elements True Lord thought, he still prioritized obtaining the inheritance.
Fourth Stage Fifth Stage Law Treasure, and even the Gold Condensation Pill, are all too far-fetched for him.
The most urgent matter for him is to complete his metal Spirit Root and achieve a balance of the five elements.
He swung his Azure Swan Sword and instantly cleaved the puppet in two.
As Ye Jingcheng slayed the puppet, Azure Fox True Person, accompanied by a beautiful female cultivator, landed in front of the island before the Red Algae Sea.
"This is it!" Azure Fox True Person said after sensing the surroundings for a moment.
He then took out an Azure Spirit Projection Mirror and shone it onto the island.
Immediately, the scene of Ye Haifei, Qing Kongying, and the others entering the small world also appeared on the mirror.
"Judging from this situation, they must be trapped, otherwise my Flame Fox wouldn't be in such a hurry!"
"It's a pity that I'm isolated in a small world, otherwise the Flame Fox could have used telepathy to communicate with me."
"Qing Kongying's soul slip is also at headquarters, otherwise we could have relied on the soul slip to make a judgment!" The beautiful female cultivator also shook her head, looking regretful.
"No need to regret it, it's a good opportunity for us to go in and finish things up!" Azure Fox True Person nodded.
