Soon, they were at the foot of the mountain, and among the craggy rocks, Ai Xingyan was looking forward to finding a shortcut to the holy land.

"The road to the Chamber of Secrets is still a long way off..."Morton reminded softly, "Are you ready to face the trials of the ancients?" ”

Ai Xingyan responded eagerly, "Finally, something wonderful is about to happen. ”

Under Morton's guidance, Ai Xingyan came to a gray stone, and with a keen eye, he quickly spotted a special object in the shape of a gear.

He touched it with a heart, but the gears suddenly generated a terrifying electric current, causing him to scramble backwards.

Morton smiled.

"Only the body of the person who holds the key can unlock this lock."

Immediately, he stretched out his right hand and gently turned the gears, the palms were intertwined with golden light, accompanied by a "squeak, squeak" sound, the gears actually turned smoothly, and at the same time, the stones began to move, and after a while, a black passage appeared in front of Ai Xingyan's eyes.

Ai Xingyan walked into it, looking left and right, as if he was no stranger to all this.

But after a while, his body still trembled slightly.

"Is this such a dark place really the masterpiece of the Ancient Sword God?" Ai Xingyan asked confusedly.

"Of course, it's just a little eerie here because it doesn't see the light of day." Morton hurriedly started a fire, and a faint light rose in the passage.

As their footsteps continued to go deeper, with the light in Morton's hand, a spiral staircase appeared in front of the two of them.

I saw that it was like a golden snake wrapped around the core of Luojian Peak, winding upward, almost breaking through the barrier of darkness, and no one could see at a glance what height its end was located.

That's when Morton spoke.

"Remember, kid, there are seven thousand steps in total, and when you reach the end, you will discover a whole new world."

As soon as the words fell, Ai Xingyan climbed the sixth step with a brisk step.

This made Morton feel slightly surprised.

This kid... I'm not so afraid of the unfamiliar...

After he followed in Ai Xingyan's footsteps, the two of them soon came to the middle of the stairs.

At this moment, if you look down, you will see an abyss-like scene, with layers of stairs submerged in a lightless world, and only under the feet of the living can the outline of things be clearly distinguished.

Beads of sweat appeared on Morton's forehead, and then he looked at Ai Xingyan and found that the other party's body was calm and relaxed, and he didn't seem to be tired.

This kid has a pretty good amount of physical strength... It's almost time to catch up with me... Morton thought to himself.

I just don't know if it's worthy of that legendary holy sword...

In this anxiety and anticipation, the two soon came to the top of Luojian Peak.

The 7,000-step staircase, neatly stepped on the soles of the feet, is like a testimony of vitality.

Immediately, Ai Xingyan found that he had actually come to a small secret room.

"Pay attention, this is already more than a thousand meters in the air, and these magic runes on the walls are testing whether you are a kind and pure human." Morton reminded from the side.

The prince looked around and saw that the walls of the chamber were indeed shining with a crystalline light, and he was right at the center of it all.

As a burst of light dissipated, Ai Xingyan understood that there was no obvious hostility towards him here.

When the runes stopped flickering, the two of them heard the sound of gears moving, yes, something was connecting to a mysterious place.

At the edge of the chamber, an iron platform about two meters wide suddenly appeared, each corner of which was wrapped with chains made of fine iron, and its surface was magically applied, as if it would never rust.

In other unseen places, there are obviously countless strange mechanisms hidden.

"Get up, kid." Morton said in a deep voice.

"Be brave, the arduous journey has been a long way."

So Ai Xingyan mustered up his courage, and his body landed on the platform, making a slight soft sound.

At the same time, around him and Morton, a four-sided blue magic protection suddenly appeared, and except for the top, everything else was tightly enclosed.

Then, in an unexpected moment, the surrounding machinery began to turn, and the platform gradually sank until it reached a bottomless place.

In the process, Ai Xingyan noticed that many beautiful visions flashed on the surrounding stone walls, which floated like fireworks, symbolizing the endless prosperity of the world.

Soon, the secret room disappeared completely, and on the platform, Ai Xingyan stretched out his hands and touched Morton's shoulders.

"It's already very deep here, but if you get there, will you encounter evil underground creatures?" Ai Xingyan asked with some fear.

"Rest assured, under the protection of the power of the Sword God, there will be no real danger to your life in this passage." Morton patted him lightly on the back.

The platform continued to descend, and after a few moments, they were back to the surface again, and then reached hundreds of meters underground.

The environment had become damp, but the flame in Ai Xingyan's heart had never been extinguished.

With Master here, I will be able to walk through the journey safely.

About a thousand meters underground, the platform finally stopped, and the scene in front of him suddenly opened up, and a spacious and bright passage appeared in front of the prince's eyes.

Every component of it seems to sparkle like a pure crystal... Ai Xingyan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

Yes, this is a temple of seclusion, the end of a flawless world, where some great miracles have ever been born.

Ai Xingyan wanted to run forward quickly, but was directly stopped by Morton.

"Be careful, next, the most important test of courage is about to begin..."Morton said solemnly, "In order to become the master of the Sword God's secret room, this is a difficult hurdle that must be passed no matter what. ”

As soon as the words fell, a red flame ignited the path ahead.

"Behold, here it comes, with a frighteningly blazing light."

Ai Xingyan subconsciously covered his eyes, and at this moment, the entire temple had fallen into a sea of fire, and all the space turned red.

In this shining world, Ai Xingyan suddenly had a shocking feeling.

"The content of the trial is to walk through the flames unharmed."

As soon as the words fell, Ai Xingyan turned back in disbelief.

"Is that really the case? I'm going to burn to death—" he hugged Morton's body with a puzzled look on his face.

"Are you kidding?" After a while, he asked again in a childish voice.

Morton lovingly hugged Ai Xingyan tightly.

"How so... My child, these blazing flames are not murderous weapons, but illusionary magic leading to the Holy Land..."
