Chapter 14: The Trial
After Lin Yan and Ji Mingyue went through the trials of Hongchen Road and experienced life and death, their moods have improved qualitatively. Especially Ji Mingyue, originally with her spiritual realm, she couldn't stay in it for five days at most, but with the help of Lin Yan, he stayed in it for a full month. Therefore, her spiritual realm has improved the most, and it has increased several times.
Ta Ling provided them with sufficient energy, and through a period of cultivation, both of them had a qualitative leap in strength. The biggest improvement is still Lin Yan, the spiritual ability has been directly increased to the point of the S-level peak, and even the fire ability has also been promoted to the S-level peak, which has reached the same level as the spiritual ability.
Because the innate stage martial artists were not able to absorb the aura on their own, the tower spirit separately arranged a twenty-fold spirit gathering array for Ji Mingyue and Lin Jingyan, plus the blessing of Lin Yan's soul devouring secret technique, this is why Lin Yan's fire ability can be improved so quickly.
Of course, Ji Mingyue is not weak, although she transferred to the "Ten Thousand Souls Holy Scripture", which caused her realm to only rise to the peak of the S-level, but through the blessing of the "Ten Thousand Souls Holy Scripture", her combat power has reached at least the level of a half-step king.
After all, the "Ten Thousand Souls Holy Scripture" is not much different from the "Flood Desolation Holy Body", and the level is much higher than the "Ninth Sword Codex" cultivated by the Ninth Sword Spirit. Therefore, even if Ji Mingyue is allowed to face the Ninth Sword Spirit alone now, although she may not be able to win, at least she will not lose.
It can be said that the strength of the two of them has improved very dramatically now, especially Ji Mingyue, which can be described as being reborn.
Moreover, Ji Mingyue was delayed for some time due to the transfer of the "Ten Thousand Souls Holy Scripture", so she only improved by one realm. As long as she can be given enough time, she will be able to improve a small realm in a short period of time, reaching the realm of a half-step king, and at that time, her combat power will completely surpass that of the Ninth Sword Spirit.
However, there is one thing that is regrettable, Lin Yan's refining aspect has not improved in the slightest. If Lin Yan can make a breakthrough in body refining, his strength will rise to another level.
In the end, the two of them had no choice but to get out of the customs, after all, it was a critical juncture, Lin Yan and they didn't have much time, and the Ninth Sword Spirit could find it at any time.
"What test?" Lin Yan looked at Ta Ling curiously. Now is not the time for any tests, and the Ninth Sword Spirit may be found soon.
Although it is said that the speed of time in the formation space is dozens of times that of the outside world, it has been a while since Lin Yan and them entered the formation space, and it has been almost a day outside, and Lin Yan is worried that the Ninth Sword Spirit may find this place at any time.
Only by passing the test of recognizing the Lord can you be recognized by the Demon Suppression Tower and become the master of the Demon Suppression Tower. But Lin Yan didn't hear clearly, she was talking about gaining the approval of the Demon Suppression Tower, not her approval. However, Lin Yan was shocked by what Ziling said for a while, so he didn't notice these details at all.
Or maybe it seemed to him that it was all about the same, and he was concerned about why these tests were being done, especially at this critical time. Does it have to follow those old rules? Why can't he be flexible? When has this come to the point, Lin Yan hates this kind of person the most, who can't see the current situation clearly, but stubbornly sticks to those useless dogmas and rules. Don't they know that this will only lead them to their demise faster?
"But now that there's no time, can't you break those rules?" Lin Yan said a little angrily. Suddenly, Lin Yangao imagined something, and continued. "By the way, didn't you say that my master once participated in refining the Demon Suppression Tower? Then he should be your master, right?
"Yes, although the Ancestor has participated in the refining of the Demon Suppression Tower, he is not my master, so he does not have the authority to order me. Zi Ling said solemnly, like a meticulous machine, it was useless to let Lin Yan say anything.
"So, if I want you to open the exit of the Inheritance Cave Heaven in advance, unless I pass the test and become the master of the Demon Suppression Tower?" Lin Yan asked lightly.
"Yes, there is only one way now, and I don't want to, but this is my master's command, and even if she is not here now, I must not disobey her. If you want me to do your bidding, you'll have to pass the test I've set, and if you can't, you can't blame me. Ziling replied.
Lin Yan saw that Ta Ling still insisted, and he could only compromise. "Okay then, tell me what the test is!" Lin Yan finally chose to complete the test set by Zi Ling, he hoped to shorten the time of the test as much as possible, and immediately asked Ta Ling.
"Well, there are three levels of the Confession Test, as long as you can complete them within the corresponding time. You can get the approval of the Demon Tower and become its master, and at the same time, you will have control over the entire Demon Tower, and you can do whatever you want when the time comes. Ta Ling gave Lin Yan a rough introduction to the test.
The first level of the test is called Hongchen Road, if Lin Yan can stay in it for a month, even if he has passed the test of the first level. So this first test, Lin Yan can be said to have passed. Therefore, Lin Yan can now directly carry out the test of the second level.
The second level of the test is called "Nine Shades of Purgatory", of course, this is not really purgatory, but it is not far off. Since the establishment of the "Nine Shades Purgatory", few people in the entire Nine Phoenix Tribe have been able to pass this level in the realm of refining since ancient times, which shows how difficult this level is.
And now what Lin Yan has to face is this existence that once frightened the entire teenager of the Nine Phoenix Witch Clan. Although this test does not kill people, it can still make so many people fearful, which shows how terrifying it is.
Therefore, this second level is not only difficult, but also very terrifying, in Ziling's opinion, with Lin Yan's current strength, the possibility of passing this level is very small, not to mention the most powerful third level. She really couldn't figure out why Zhu Rong Ancestor had to let Lin Yan complete the test, in fact, her master had explained when he left, if the twelve heavenly gods in the inheritance cave could successfully condense the remnant soul of the ancestor, let her obey the ancestor's orders in everything.
There is no such thing as a test of admitting the Lord at all, this is completely Zhu Rong's wholeness. This made Ta Ling puzzled, if the ancestor really wanted Lin Yan to become the owner of the Demon Suppression Tower, he could just give an order. However, if the Ancestor didn't want Lin Yan to become the master of the Demon Suppression Tower, then why did he waste so much effort and come up with such a test of recognizing the master? This made Ta Ling puzzled.
In fact, these three tests are not a test of recognizing the Lord at all, but a coming-of-age ceremony of the Nine Phoenix Witch Clan. However, the weakest strength of the Nine Phoenix Witch Clan who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony also exceeded the innate realm, and the realm was more than a big realm higher than Lin Yan. Moreover, before participating in the coming-of-age ceremony, they had already tried these three tests more than once. If it was in Lin Yan's realm, there were really few who could pass through.
Although Lin Yan had cultivated the Holy Body of the Flood Desolation, he had reached the extreme of body refining. However, this is nothing in the Nine Phoenix Witch Clan, there are not a few people in the entire Nine Phoenix Witch Clan who have cultivated the "Flood Desolate Holy Body", and many members of the Nine Phoenix Witch Clan have reached the extreme of body refining.
Therefore, Zi Ling was not optimistic about Lin Yan, nor did she think that he would be able to succeed, after all, this was something that many people of the Nine Phoenix Wu Clan had never done. However, this was Lao Zu's decision, and although she was very skeptical, she still resolutely implemented it.
The reason why the second level of the test is called "Nine Hells of Purgatory" is because of its cruelty. What is called purgatory, that is, it makes life worse than death, but you can't die if you want to, this is purgatory. The Nine Shades Purgatory and the Red Dust Road are just the opposite, in the Nine Shades Purgatory, there is no way for you to die if you want to.
In fact, the test of the Nine Shades Purgatory is very simple, as long as you kill the demon beasts. It's just that you're facing a bunch of demon beasts alone.,And the realm of each demon beast and the trialist are in the same realm.。。
The test of the second level is not difficult at the beginning, and the further you go, the more difficult it becomes, because the number of monsters you face is constantly increasing. At first, the trialist will only face two demon beasts, which is the simplest, and then the number of demon beasts will increase in turn, the second time it will become four, then eight, then sixteen...... , and so on and so on and on. Until the trialist is killed, the number of demon beasts will straighten up.
Of course, if you say that as long as you don't kill the first monster all the time, that's fine. Then I'm going to tell you, you're just looking for death.
Because as long as a certain amount of time is reached, even if the trialist has not killed all the demon beasts, the number of demon beasts will continue to increase, which is the main reason why the second level is called the "Nine Shades of Purgatory". This is where the "Nine Shades of Purgatory" is really frightened today.
The only way to pass the "Nine Shades of Purgatory" is to ensure that there is not a single demon beast inside when the exit is opened for ten hours, and it can be regarded as passing the test. In other words, the trialist must kill more than 1,000 demon beasts in the last hour. Because every other hour, the number of demon beasts increases.
Moreover, every time you enter the "Nine Hells of Purgatory", you must wait for ten hours before the exit will open again and the trialist will come out again. If the trialist is killed by a demon beast in the middle of the process, he will not be teleported, but will continue to be resurrected and continue to face the pursuit of the demon beast.
After listening to Zi Ling's introduction to the rules of the second level test, Lin Yan immediately began to challenge and entered the "Nine Shades Purgatory" as soon as possible.
