If not for Su Jiu, they would probably have been wiped out when they encountered the horde of demon beasts.
Fang Xing's words silenced everyone present for a moment. Humiliating though it was, they had to admit he was telling the truth.
Putting everything else aside, those few sixth-tier demon beasts alone would have been enough to wipe them all out.
Not to mention activating the White Jade Stone Pillars to trigger the star map and disperse the white mist covering the Palace, then resolving the Seal Formation and Composite Grand Array on the doors to open the Palace entrance.
Some of the more perceptive people even felt that these trials seemed to have been tailored specifically for Su Jiu and Chu Luohen.
At that moment, Qi Song and Chu Luohen walked over to Su Jiu.
"The walls contain introductions to the eight demon beasts and a map of the Dustless Continent. These eight demon beasts are quite interesting. In ancient times, each represented an element: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice. Their elements are marked on the statue pedestals."
"As for the Dustless Continent, the account describes the events surrounding its initial division. Beyond that, though, there's no more useful information. At least, there's nothing about a route to the Second Level."
Su Jiu nodded, unsurprised. "The passage should be within that cloud of mist."
Everyone's gaze fell on the barrier in the center.
Qi Song asked, "Is there any way to break the barrier?"
Su Jiu nodded. "The first is to activate the statues. The second requires eight people to perform the Unsealing Art simultaneously from eight different positions."
"Are there no elemental requirements for those eight people?"
Su Jiu shook her head. "Different elements would be better, but repeated elements won't cause any problems."
