Upper Yang Grotto-Heaven.
The token transformed into golden light and vanished into the center of his brow.
Jiang Ning closed his eyes and saw the token appear within his spiritual platform.
A moment later, he opened his eyes.
[Trial concluded. You will soon be teleported out of the trial grounds.]
Feeling this fluctuation,
Jiang Ning tried to merge his mind with Heaven and Earth.
The next moment,
he sensed a vast will descending.
However high the sky was, that will was equally boundless.
At that moment, Jiang Ning felt like a mayfly gazing upon the blue heavens.
[What is it?]
A genderless voice devoid of emotion rang out within Jiang Ning's mind.
Jiang Ning then tried to use his mind to transmit his request.
[I need Earthly Baleful Yin Stones. They concern my path of cultivation!]
Jiang Ning's request was transmitted through his mind.
The vast will fell silent.
After a long while,
[Granted!]
Hearing that voice, Jiang Ning's tense heart immediately relaxed.
Then, that will spoke again.
[Ask in moderation. Do not be greedy. This object is the foundation of the Grotto-Heaven.]
[I only need two more!]
Jiang Ning conveyed his meaning with his mind.
The next moment,
that will vanished, and the oppressive atmosphere in the void disappeared with it.
"It worked!" Jiang Ning opened his eyes, and a flash of light passed through them.
He then set off toward the nearest stretch of sea.
After a moment,
on the island's beach,
the blue waves rippled, and the sea was a deep azure, creating a scene of peace and tranquility.
However, if one looked farther away, they would see the seawater rapidly turn black.
The deeper the water, the more abyssal it became. This meant that not far away, a cliff had appeared on the seafloor.
