Without giving Ji Zining and the others much time to think about this test, the authoritative but emotionless voice paused for a moment before resuming its tone.
"Now, the second level, the Skeleton Graveyard test, begins!"
As soon as the words were spoken, an invisible wind blew through the desolate valley.
A cold wind swept over Ji Zining and the others, making them feel as if their very souls were frozen.
The cold wind instantly alerted Ji Zining and the others, and without any hesitation, they sat down cross-legged back to back.
They knew the tough opponent was coming soon!
Given the difficulty of the first test, no one dared to underestimate the second test.
As soon as I sat down, the entire valley echoed with the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling, as if I had entered a hellish hell.
"Waaaaah~ Waaaah~"
"Heh heh heh~"
"Ah..."
Amidst these wailing and howling, from the ground of the desolate valley, glowing objects of varying sizes emerged with blank stares.
These luminous beings included those resembling humans, as well as those resembling various other races.
The only thing they had in common was that they all had blank stares, devoid of any consciousness.
Only unpleasant, unconscious shouts emanated from its mouth, seemingly trying to express something unintelligible.
Once no more light bodies emerged from the ground, all the light bodies began to converge, completely surrounding Ji Zining and the others.
After completely surrounding Ji Zining Ji Zining the others, they began circling around them.
As it spun around, unpleasant sounds continued to emanate from its mouth, carrying traces of divine power.
The combined power of the divine souls created a vast and powerful divine soul pressure that descended upon Ji Zining and the others.
Upon hearing these sounds, Ji Zining and the others frowned slightly.
These sounds were not only unpleasant to hear, but they also contained divine power, which was attacking their souls!
Furthermore, these divine powers are gradually increasing in strength over time!
Only by enduring for three hours can one successfully pass the test. After three hours, how terrifying will the spiritual power within those voices be?
Has the test begun?
Fortunately, those who came here were all the most outstanding disciples of the Ziwei Holy Land, and all of them had cultivated divine soul techniques.
At this stage, even with the activation of the Divine Soul Technique, these Divine Soul Powers are still unable to harm them.
The unpleasant sounds that keep ringing in my ears are impossible to block out.
Even if hearing is blocked, you can still hear.
These unpleasant sounds didn't just enter their ears; they acted directly on their souls!
Ji Zining activated the Primordial Spirit Refining Art to resist all the divine soul pressure, and even the unpleasant sounds that had been emanating became barely audible.
This Primordial Spirit Refining Art is quite powerful; with just a slight activation, all the negative effects were eliminated.
Opening their eyes, they glanced at the glowing object swirling around them, and goosebumps instantly rose on their skin.
Could these things all be ghosts?
With so many ghosts around, who knows how many powerful figures have perished here!
This place is really rather eerie.
Shaking her head, Ji Zining closed her eyes again and began to calculate the passage of time.
The unpleasant sounds kept ringing in their ears, causing everyone to frown.
Of course, Ji Zining is an exception.
Ji Zining didn't feel uncomfortable at all; she was just a little bored.
She originally wanted to cultivate, but found that there was no Spiritual Qi to absorb here, so she gave up.
Three hours, or six hours, means we still have a long way to go before we can pass this second test.
Soon, an hour had passed.
Compared to an hour ago, Xiao Jing and the others were no longer in the mood to complain about those unpleasant voices.
The pressure on their minds and spirits was already making them feel unwell.
Compared to the pressure on their souls, those sounds were merely unpleasant to hear and would not cause them any direct harm.
The pressure on the soul is different; once it is injured, it is a wound to the soul that is difficult to recover from.
However, neither of them wanted to give up or regret their decision at that moment.
They chose this path themselves, so there's no point in regretting it!
Moreover, the current situation only makes them feel a little uncomfortable; it's not that they can't persevere!
Ji Zining opened her eyes and yawned.
She would have fallen asleep almost immediately if she hadn't needed to circulate the Primordial Spirit Refining Art.
Why is time moving so slowly? Wouldn't it be better if it sped up?
Glancing disdainfully at the still-growing, shrill light, Ji Zining closed her eyes again.
I hope time passes quickly so this incredibly boring second level can end soon.
Her spiritual power cultivation was at the Saint Manifestation Realm Eighth Layer, but her soul cultivation broke through to the Saint Realm Second Layer when she broke through the Saint Manifestation Realm Eighth Layer.
This level of spiritual cultivation was already formidable, and she also had the aid of the Divine Rank Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Refining Art.
The increased protection from the Primordial Spirit Refining Art, along with the spiritual foundation accumulated through its cultivation, far surpasses that of an ordinary Saint Realm Second Layer Primordial Spirit Refining Art.
The constant pressure exerted on Ji Zining, based on her cultivation level, had absolutely no effect on her.
It's supposed to be a test, but if Ji Zining actually felt something, she probably wouldn't find it boring. She really didn't feel anything at all!
Time flies, and another hour has passed.
At this point, Lin Shan, who specialized in physical cultivation, and Qing Tan, whose cultivation was still relatively shallow, were already struggling.
However, this exertion is still within a tolerable range; they are not mediocre talents, and they possess this much resilience.
However, they estimated that they could only barely make it to the end, and the performance rewards might not be very good.
There was nothing that could be done about it; their cultivation of the divine soul was indeed somewhat weak, and they were already quite satisfied that they were able to pass the test.
Finally, after three hours, all the luminous beings stopped their wailing and howling, and slowly disappeared into the ground.
"Breathe in... breathe in... breathe in..."
As Qing Tan and Lin Shan felt the pressure on their souls dissipate, they began to breathe heavily, their faces showing smiles of relief.
Given more time, they probably won't be able to hold on.
"Ah! Is it over? It's finally over, I was already asleep."
Ji Zining yawned, stood up, and couldn't help but rub her eyes.
She couldn't hold on for the last half hour. After diverting a wisp of her mind to circulate the Primordial Spirit Refining Art, she fell asleep immediately.
Upon hearing Ji Zining's words, Lin Shan and Qing Tan, who were panting heavily, froze, staring blankly at Ji Zining.
Your Divine Son Hall, that's not how you punish someone!
Xiao Jing and the others also gave a bitter smile.
The divine pressure just now was so terrifying, yet His Divine Son Hall was able to fall asleep. That's truly astounding.
