After accepting the Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure from Liuyun Lan and Chen Yulin, Lin Heng immediately began to examine the three weapons he had obtained.
The heavy sword is Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure imbued with the essence of gravity.
The golden staff is a Fourth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure.
The blood-red longsword is Third-Grade Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure.
To be honest, these three items don't look as eye-catching as the other Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure, but their quality is still decent, at least much better than the three Chen Yulin picked.
Having received the reward, it's time to move on!
After retrieving the Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure from the Green Fir Ironwood through Ten Thousand Swords Bridge, Lin Heng and his group followed Gonggong's instructions and entered a tree hole beneath the Green Fir Ironwood.
There is a teleportation array inside this tree hollow. Only by entering through this point can one truly enter the interior of Peach Garden Heavenly Abode.
A blinding white light flashed in the teleportation array, and Lin Heng and the others were enveloped by a gentle energy.
The white light dissipated in just a few seconds, and when Lin Heng and the others opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a magnificent golden hall.
The first thing that catches the eye is eighteen golden pillars with dragons and phoenixes attached to them, each over a thousand meters tall, giving the impression that they stretch as far as the eye can see.
In particular, the lifelike dragons and phoenixes on the golden pillars are so realistic that they look like specimens.
Of course, given the nature of the owner of Heavenly Estate, these dragons and phoenixes might actually have been embedded in them alive.
The ancient hall was filled with a sense of oppression.
Lin Heng glanced around. The spacious hall had nothing particularly unusual about it, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere made everything seem so reassuring.
But it was precisely this tranquility that stirred something within Lin Heng.
"Haha! That's right, this is the Azure Feather Hall, the Azure Feather Hall..."
'snort!'
Lin Xiao suddenly roared excitedly, but a muffled groan followed immediately in the hall.
With just a sound, blood immediately spilled from Lin Xiao's mouth, his pale face as white as paper, indicating that he had suffered a considerable injury.
"No noise is permitted within the Azure Feather Hall. Any further violations will be punished with death!"
As a chilling voice rang out, the space in front of Lin Heng and his companions slightly distorted.
Soon, a refined-looking middle-aged man appeared within the distorted space.
The man appeared to be in his early forties, dressed in a simple gray robe. He had nothing particularly outstanding about him, and even his aura seemed quite ordinary. If you met him in public, you might mistake him for an average person.
The fact that the opponent could severely injure Lin Xiao with just a muffled groan shows that this person has reached the realm of returning to simplicity, and his strength is probably even above that of Zhu Rong and Gonggong.
After emerging from the distorted space, the middle-aged man walked slowly straight to Lin Heng and the others.
"My name is Dijiang, and I am the administrator of this Azure Feather Hall. Those of you who have made it this far must all be among the best in your respective realms."
At this point, Dijiang glanced at Lin Heng meaningfully, but only for a moment, without lingering on the matter.
"What you need to do next is challenge yourself and push your limits."
With that, Dijiang turned and pointed to a row of doors on the right side of the Azure Feather Hall, "Whether you are qualified to accept the challenge depends on whether you can walk out of these rooms."
There are a total of eighteen rooms on the right, each representing a reincarnation from the First-Turn Samsara the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
According to Dijiang, everyone present needed to enter one of the rooms.
In the corresponding room, they will be subjected to the strongest attack of the corresponding realm. As long as they can withstand it, they will pass the test.
After listening, Miao Jingkong's gaze fell directly on the first room, the First-Turn Samsara Room.
Lin Heng shook his head at his idea. Hadn't Dijiang mentioned challenging himself and pushing his limits?
You, someone who Ninth-Turn Samsara, choose a room for someone First-Turn Samsara —you call that challenging yourself?
Sure enough, the next second Dijiang nipped Miao Jingkong.
"Everyone must choose a room that is at least equal to their own level of cultivation."
"Only by successfully overcoming the challenge can you pass the test."
"Of course, taking on challenges above your level will also allow you to achieve a higher ranking."
Dijiang's words prompted Liuyun Lan to ask a question out of curiosity.
"Senior, what is the purpose of this ranking?"
Liuyun Lan's respectful attitude seemed to have won Dijiang's favor, and he immediately explained with a smile.
"Everyone who passes the test will receive a reward, and the higher the ranking, the better the reward."
Dijiang's words pleased Lin Heng.
This rule is practically in my best interest, isn't it?
Liuyun Lan, Miao Jingkong are all at the Nine-Turn Samsara Realm. How many levels can they overcome?
Even an attack from First-Grade Heavenly Venerable would probably be enough to give them a hard time.
In contrast, Lin Heng's soul realm had reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, but his cultivation level was only at the Third-Turn Samsara Realm.
As Dijiang just clearly stated, the judgment should be based on one's own cultivation level, not on the realm of the soul.
Given Lin Heng's current strength, easily blocking a full-force attack from the Nine-Turn Samsara Realm is no problem at all.
If you take out the Heart of Rock Origin, you can block even the attack of First-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
Who among those present has a higher level of expertise than Lin Heng?
However, while some were secretly pleased, others were naturally worried.
Miao Jingkong bowed and asked Dijiang timidly, "Senior, I wonder if the test will be more difficult for us members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans this time?"
Dijiang nodded casually, giving an affirmative answer.
"Others entering the room will only suffer one attack, but members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans will suffer ten attacks."
Upon hearing this, Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao instantly lost their confidence.
To make them withstand a full-force attack from First-Grade Heavenly Venerable, they might be able to block even a single attack.
It can launch ten attacks...
Unless they reveal their true cards, there's no way they can be confident.
But if they use their trump card now, what will they have to compete with Lin Heng and his two companions for something better later?
After careful consideration, Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao had no choice but to back down, and they both looked towards the room of the Nine-Turn Samsara Realm.
But Dijiang poured cold water on their enthusiasm once again.
"Each room can only be selected once. That is to say, if someone has already entered, others cannot select it again."
After hearing this, Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao looked at each other again, a hint of wariness appearing in their eyes.
Just as the two were exchanging heated words, Chen Yulin walked towards the room of the Third-Grade Heavenly Venerable with a smile.
"I am not very talented, so I will choose a room for Third-Grade Heavenly Venerable."
As Chen Yulin passed by Miao Jingkong and the other person, he deliberately shook his head and said.
This infuriated the two of them, but they dared not retaliate. They could only watch angrily as Chen Yulin walked gracefully towards the room of the Third-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
Chen Yulin's choice led Miao Jingkong and the other to speculate.
They were all old acquaintances and were very clear about each other's strengths.
Given Chen Yulin's original strength, there was absolutely no way he would have dared to take a full-force attack from Third-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
Now he made this choice without hesitation, which shows that the treasure Chen Yulin obtained from Green Fir Ironwood was at least of this grade.
