Chapter 386 The Death of Yuan

Boom!

Halfway through the golden stairs of the Sanjin Tower, the monster that had been moving at a high speed suddenly burst into a cloud of blood without warning, staining the stairs with blood.

Suffering the reversed effects, the green-robed elder changed his complexion slightly, and forcibly swallowed the blood pouring into his throat. The smile on his face was immediately reduced.

“What’s the matter? How can that puppet blow itself up?”

Everyone was amazed. No one could see exactly how the green-robed elder’s puppet died. Only Heaven Rover’s eyes flashed with an expression like he had already known in advance. No one except Su Li, who was spiritually sensitive, noticed his change.

He slowly stood up and analyzed in a deep voice, “Although I don’t know whether Cang Lei was mighty in the ancient cultivation age or not, this place is the cave of inheritance of the ancient practitioners after all. Therefore, it is unrealistic to pass the first level without any difficulty.”

The green-robed elder calmed down when he heard the words. He sat aside with a slight snort, and said coldly, “Although a puppet is nothing, it also makes my pneuma and blood unstable. Therefore, I need to regulate my breathing. Since everyone has a chance, those who are interested should give a try.”

After he finished speaking, no matter how other people reacted, he regulated his breathing with his eyes closed.

After his mind calmed down, there was even a subtle complacency in his heart. He manipulated the puppet to pass the level without going there personally, meaning that each puppet was an independent individual.

If he could really take advantage of this loophole, he could keep trying as long as he had enough puppets. Compared with others who had only one chance, he was more likely to pass the level!

However, there were so many people at the moment. If he tried in front of everyone, he might be attacked for making others jealous!

He made up his mind to return to test his assumption, when others were trying other levels.

…

Regardless of what the green-robed elder thought in his mind, the atmosphere at the scene became weird as he spoke out.

The puppet blew itself up just now. Without knowing the reason, how dare they go up there? After all… they only lived once.

“Oh, a group of cowards, timid as mice, how can you go further on the road of cultivation?”

The tall and thin man suddenly laughed sarcastically with all of his teeth which were ghastly white.

Yuan who was the grumpiest immediately changed his complexion and was about to scold him. However, before he could speak, the tall and thin man turned into an arc and climbed the golden stairs of the Sanjin Tower. He went farther than where the puppet had reached almost in the blink of an eye, and remained intact to move forward at a high speed.

Seeing this, many people suddenly changed their expressions, and even Heaven Rover had a serious look in his eyes, as if he had met this tall and thin man for the first time.

“This person is a total stranger outside the Jiuzhou Region. I only invited him for his speed. Does anyone of you know his background?”

Heaven Rover transmitted the sound in silence, but no one responded. Therefore, he was a little disappointed, but this emotion did not show on his face.

Su Li stood inconspicuously among the crowd and tilted her head slightly, with a trace of deep meaning appearing in her eyes.

This trip to the ancient cave seemed to be more and more interesting.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she turned her head and glanced over a large number of strange groups naturally. It was an enchanting woman in purple and a distant boy in white with white hair.

She found that since entering the cave, everyone had spoken. However, these two people looked like dumb and didn’t say a word during the whole process. If she remembered correctly, these two people should be assigned to the fourth level by Heaven Rover.

“For the sake of an ancient inheritance, all ghosts and monsters have come out…”

While Su Li’s thoughts were surging, the tall and thin man had already stood at the top of the Sanjin Tower, with a trace of irrepressible joy on his emotionless face at this moment.

“He got a reward for passing the level!”

This idea emerged in everyone’s minds. Driven by interests, many young practitioners who were clouded by jealousy immediately climbed up the Sanjin Tower again.

However, none of those old and experienced practitioners at Yuanying Realm moved.

When Wang Yu saw this, she hesitated for a moment and finally restrained her intention. Her strength was not in speed. Unsurprisingly, the sixth level would be her turn, so she did not have to get her hand caught in the cookie jar for the short-term benefits.

Whoosh!

With a flash of figure, the tall and thin man came down from the top of the Sanjin Tower and his expression returned to be indifferent.

At the same time, a few practitioners with low cultivation had suddenly showed a look of horror, and exploded and died before leaving any last words, without reaching one-third of the steps.

The remaining few young practitioners who still wanted to go up shuddered at the horrifying and bloody scene instantly and went cold.

Upon seeing this, the tall and thin man sneered unabashedly, “Do you really think that anyone can get the reward of Immortal Cang Lei? Stupid!”

It seemed that he rushed to the tower very easily, but no one knew that he had secretly used several cards in his hands. However… for that thing, the loss is absolutely worth it!

“Is there anyone who wants to try?”

Heaven Rover smiled kindly with his eyes sweeping across the rest of the people. Although he did not receive any response, he didn’t feel embarrassed, but pointed his finger at the direction that no one knew when it appeared on the stone tablet, “Since no one tries again, we will go to the second level.”

“Fellow Practitioner Heaven seems to be familiar with this ancient cave too much, right?”

The green-robed elder who had finished regulating his breathing opened his eyes, and stared at Heaven Rover with a gloomy smile. He didn’t believe that one could know the detailed test of each level in the ancient cave in advance by looking up the classics.

Heaven Rover’s face was still calm and peaceful when he heard the words. He shook his head and said with a smile, “It seems that Fellow Practitioner Wen is not going to leave this level?”

The green-robed elder’s heart trembled. These words clearly pointed out that Heaven Rover had already seen his purpose and used it as a threat. Although he had doubts in his heart, he’d better not get involved in this mess.

“Huh! I know my own ability, and my strength is in speed. Since passing the level is a bet on human life, why should I go to the other five levels to die?!”

He covered the previous suspicions vaguely. Heaven Rover let it go with a slight smile, nodded his head and said, “Since Fellow Practitioner Wen has already made up your mind, I should not persuade.”

After that, he really stopped looking at the green-robed elder, and took the other practitioners away.

The young people who had originally followed the green-robed elder hesitated for a moment after seeing this, and finally bit the bullet to keep up with the pace of Heaven Rover.

The opportunity to reach the sky was right in front of them. How could they give up willingly?

The green-robed elder was longing for this, and was not angry at all for the betrayal of these young practitioners. In the cave of inheritance of this level, the practitioner not reaching Jindan Realm was doomed to die, and he needn’t be angry with a few dead people.

…

However, Heaven Rover led everyone to follow the direction and found the second level very easily. The process was incredibly easy, as if there was no other danger in this cave except for the test.

“The second stone tablet of the test…”

Seeing the stone tablet of the same style, Yuan and the others looked as usual, but made up their minds respectively.

On the way, the direction had clearly disappeared, but Heaven Rover did very well in leading them to find this place. It seemed… as if he had been here for many times.

“Old Lady Duhua, there is something wrong with Heaven Rover. We have to be careful…”

Yuan transmitted the sound in silence, and Old Lady Duhua did not look at him, but glanced at Dongfang Yi next to her. Then, she slowly transmitted the sound, “With the cultivation of more than 3000 years, I have kind of seen the world, and I will not be tricked by a junior. If there is something tricky then, we can join hands.”

The last words were what Yuan wanted. Hearing these words, he felt his heart calm down and stopped transmitting the sound.

The rest of the practitioners also communicated in silence. The team meant to pass the levels with one heart, began to fall apart from this moment on.

While they were communicating, Heaven Rover had already finished reading the content on the stone tablet.

The physical strength of Yuan was the best among those at Yuanying Realm. Although Old Lady Duhua was good at using poison, she had cultivated herself into the body of Hiderigami in the early years. Therefore, her physical strength was no worse than that of Yuan.

Unsurprisingly, the second level really tested the physical body.

“Hehe, holding for 10 breaths in that big bell is considered a pass…”

Yuan looked at the floating golden bell above the altar behind the stone tablet with a smile on his face, strode to the altar, and entered the area covered by the big bell without hesitation.

“Clanging!!!”

The melodious bells rang from the altar, and everyone heard an inexplicably beautiful melody, making them immersed in it.

But Yuan within the area of the big bell changed his complexion. The surface of his skin was as lustrous as the black iron and stone when he growled, “Calm down!”

With the voice coming out, his muscles that had been shaking crazily immediately calmed down.

But this moment of silence did not last long, and the second bell rang.

“Ding!!”

Even the people who were outside the area of the big bell couldn’t help but feel the pneuma and blood heated, as they were about to be boiling. Unsurprisingly, Yuan under the big bell spat out a mouthful of blood and almost passed out.

“Huh? This big bell actually has the effect of cleaning and tempering the physical body…”

Su Li’s eyes were narrowed, and her gaze at the big bell became fierier. Since her trip to Chuangxing Path, her physical body had not been improved for quite a long time.

“What a terrible golden bell!”

Looking at Yuan who kept vomiting blood, Old Lady Duhua had a touch of solemnity and hesitation flash in her eyes. If she was asked to go, her fate would not be much better than that of Yuan.

Su Li glanced at the frightened Old Lady Duhua thoughtfully.

It seemed that without a physical body strong like this, one could only be seriously injured by the big bell, rather than enjoy the benefits of tempering.

On the altar, the ninth breath–

Yuan reluctantly put a precious healing medicine into his mouth, and finally relieved the injury. Meanwhile, seeing the golden bell rippling and about to ring again quickly, he immediately became panic, and wanted to rush out of the area of the golden bell.

But before he put it into action, the terrible third bell rang. His body was disintegrated into pieces in the blink of an eye and disappeared in nothingness, without leaving a trace of blood.

Gulping–

Everyone swallowed hard, and they were in a deadly silence for a long time.
