Chapter 452: Inheritance Trial (Part 2)
Time flies, two days have passed.
When the last figure passed through the portal of space and stepped into this mysterious and dangerous inheritance space, the whole space seemed to be awakened, and a golden wave echoed. This wave carried a majestic and solemn atmosphere, as if announcing the official start of a life-and-death contest.
As the golden wave echoed, the giant stone statue in front of Li Mu suddenly began to crack, and cracks spread on the statue, as if waking it from its slumber, and a terrifying and mysterious breath gradually emanated.
Li Mu was slightly surprised and knew that this was the signal for the start of the trial. The giant stone statue in front of him was one of the trials set by Chihong Daojun. It was a puppet-like existence. Next, it would continue to chase and kill them, drive them to the middle of the trial, and continuously compress the living space of the inheritors participating in the competition.
"The trial has begun, let's go!" Li Mu took a deep breath, suppressed his nervousness, and called the three people.
Upon hearing this, Xue'er, Xiaowa and Chi Lian flew into the air and followed Li Mu to the center of the trial space.
Next, they will face an unprecedented challenge. Not only will they face the pursuit of the powerful giant stone statue, but they will also have to fight with other trialists. Only by standing out in this life-and-death contest can they win the final victory.
"Master, this statue is slow and can't catch up with us in a short time. Why don't we find a place to hide so as not to meet other trialists."
Xiao Wa suddenly spoke up, and a cunning light flashed in Li Mu's eyes.
Li Mu was speechless for a while. He didn't expect Xiao Wa to use his brain. He nodded and praised: "Not bad, let's find a suitable place to hide first, wait for the opportunity, and avoid running into them."
This inheritance competition not only tests the combat power of the trialists, but also tests their survival ability. Only those who can survive to the end are the final winners.
As he spoke, Li Mu turned his head and looked behind him. He lifted his petrified state and strode towards the giant stone statue that was chasing them, saying, "However, the guy behind will chase the target with the golden talisman. Let's keep some distance from it first."
As he spoke, Li Mu and his four companions accelerated their flight speed and flew towards the depths of the trial space. Although the giant stone statue behind them moved a little slowly, it chased them relentlessly, causing the ground to tremble with every step, and pursued them relentlessly.
After a period of rapid flight, Li Mu and his four companions found a hidden valley after flying thousands of miles.
The valley was surrounded by dense forests and boulders, forming a natural barrier that could block the outside world's sight. Li Mu and Xue'er landed quickly and found a hidden cave as a hiding place.
"It should be safe enough here." Li Mu looked at the three people and said, "Let's rest here first, and wait for the stone statue to catch up, and then find a way to deal with it."
Xue'er, Xiaowa, and Chi Lian nodded, and each found a place to sit down.
Chi Lian waved his hand, and a ball of fire condensed from his palm and fell in the center, illuminating the cave and dispelling the evil in the cave.
Li Mu thought about it and took out eight array cards from the Jiuzang Lingzhu. Under the drive of spiritual power, they floated in the air and then sank into the cave wall. The next moment, a white mist filled the whole valley, forming an invisible protective array that enveloped the entire valley.
Then, Li Mu summoned a series of small spider puppets from the Jiuzang Lingzhu. These puppets quickly dispersed around the valley, quietly hiding in the cracks between trees and rocks, and quickly fled in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of 500 miles was under monitoring.
"Master, if we enter the treasure house, will this golden talisman dissipate? Why don't I try it? If it doesn't dissipate, we can hide in the treasure house and watch the mountain tiger fight." Chi Lian looked at Li Mu and suddenly suggested.
"Well, you can give it a try, but if you fail, you won't get the inheritance of the Taoist master." Li Mu's mind moved, and he looked at Chi Lian Huo Feng and said.
"The skills inherited by this Taoist master are suitable for Xiao Wa, but not for me. It doesn't matter if I lose them." Chi Lian smiled slightly, and it was obvious that he had made plans.
"In that case, let's give it a try." Li Mu nodded, and then his mind moved.
Chi Lian's figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant, and was taken into the Painting World Treasure House by Li Mu.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Mu released Chi Lian Huo Feng from the Painting World Treasure House. Chi Lian's figure appeared in front of everyone again, focusing his eyes on the golden talisman attached to its arm, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Successful, even if we enter the treasure house, the golden talisman will not dissipate, we can hide in it." Chi Lian Huo Feng looked at Li Mu and said happily.
Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly. If he could use the Cave Heaven Treasure of the Painting World Treasure House in this trial, it would be equivalent to using cheating methods, and he would definitely be able to survive to the end.
The Painting World Treasure House is a treasure of the cave heaven. It is as big or small as you want, and its shape is as you want. It is a spiritual domain in itself. It is hidden and cannot be discovered by ordinary cultivators. The spiritual energy in the treasure house is rich, and the ecology is independent. It is not a problem to hide for hundreds or thousands of years.
"No! Chi Lian, the earth element power contained in your golden talisman has been lost a lot. Compared with the golden talismans on our bodies, the spiritual light is weaker." At this time, Xiao Wa seemed to sense something and hurriedly reminded.
Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled and looked at Chi Lian's white jade and green lotus-like arms. The golden talisman attached to her arm emitted a spiritual light that was obviously weaker than theirs. Obviously, it was because of the consumption caused by her entering the Painting World Treasure House during this period.
"It seems that the method of hiding in the treasure house should not be too long, otherwise, the golden talisman will dissipate and this trial will fail." Li Mu saw this scene and guessed with some regret.
"Master, you are good at refining weapons, formations, and making talismans. Can't this golden talisman replenish its spiritual power?"
Chi Lian looked at Li Mu unwillingly and asked.
Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled, and his eyes stayed on Chi Lian's white jade arm. Under the innate magical power-recognition of all spirits, the properties of the golden talisman appeared on the panel.
[Earth Yuan Condensation Talisman]
[Grade: Eighth-level Yuan Talisman-Sub-Talisman]
[Features: Yuanli resonance, spiritual patterns connected, earth Yuan spirit following, condensed mind transmission. 】
[Status: Rune pattern shines, Earth element is with you]
[The possessed Yuanfu is formed by the puppet Earth element array condensed by the Gemini Stone, Soul Crystal, Phantom Sand, and Daojun Yuanli. The Yuanfu contains the power of the twins, and the holder has a strong connection with the Earth element puppet. No matter how far away, the Earth element array can feel the existence and distance of the other party through the Yuanfu. 】
Li Mu's eyes flashed with spiritual light, and his consciousness was fully released, and he plunged into the golden Yuanfu, trying to get a glimpse of it.
However, when his consciousness touched the inside of the golden talisman, it was like crashing into an endless void, surrounded by deep darkness, as if even time and space were swallowed up. He felt a strong resistance, preventing him from exploring further.
"The structure of this golden talisman is far more complicated than I thought." Li Mu muttered to himself, frowning, trying to use various techniques to try to resonate with the spiritual pattern inside the golden talisman, but all ended in failure.
"It's worthy of the means arranged by the Taoist. The refining method of this golden talisman is beyond my cognition." Li Mu sighed lightly and retracted his consciousness, realizing that even his seventh-level talisman making technique was somewhat powerless in the face of this Yuanfu.
"Master, you can't do it?" Chi Lian saw Li Mu's difficulty and asked with concern.
"Well, it's a bit difficult. I'll think about it." Li Mu frowned and responded, his eyes fell on the golden talisman pattern, looking at those patterns inexplicably familiar.
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Mu's eyes fell on an ancient book that had been treasured for a long time in the storage compartment.
The next moment, Li Mu's mind moved, and the pale golden incomplete scripture emerged and floated in front of him.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at the floating half of the incomplete scripture. Under the innate magical power-recognition of all spirits, the attributes were clear at a glance.
[The True Solution of Divine Pattern (Sealed) (Incomplete)]
[Grade: Eighth-level Taoist Scripture]
[Features: Eternal Divine Pattern (Sealed), Invulnerable to Water and Fire, Ancient Thoughts Inherited (Sealed), Divine Patterns Self-evolved (Sealed), Three Thousand Divine Patterns (Sealed)]
[Status: Divine Essence Dissipated, Spirituality Incomplete, Divine Objects Self-defiled and Returned to the Ordinary]
[Eighth-level Ancient Chaos Beast Skin, Divine Pattern Ancient Scripture Painted by Immortal Thoughts, Suffered a Destructive Blow, Washed Away by Ten Thousand Years, Divine Charm Dissipated, Spirituality Incomplete, Degraded to a Mortal Object, Gathering the Five Innate Spiritual Patterns, Thousands of Years of Silk, Tens of Resultant Powers, Only Then Can It Be Unsealed and Restored by Itself.]
This Incomplete Scripture Was Traded from the Hands of the Lotus Moon Saint. After Obtaining It, It Has Been Stored in the Storage Compartment for Nearly a Hundred Years, and Now It Seems to Have Been Used Again.
Touching the Floating Incomplete Scripture with His Fingertips, an Ancient and Deep Breath Spreads Out in an Instant. Li Mu Closed His Eyes, His Mind Was Completely Immersed in It, Trying to Decipher the Ancient Divine Patterns That Were Sealned
Those originally unclear divine patterns gradually became clear to Li Mu, as if he saw an ancient great power drawing divine patterns in the chaos. They jumped and combined in the air, and finally formed a series of exquisite divine pattern scrolls.
He tried hard to connect these divine pattern knowledge with the spiritual patterns of the golden talisman, trying to find the common points between them. After countless attempts and failures, Li Mu found some clues of connection.
The structure of the golden talisman is very similar to an ancient divine pattern recorded in "The True Explanation of Divine Patterns". The functions of divine patterns - condensing the way, gathering spirits,..., if you can master the drawing method of this divine pattern, it seems that you can solve the mystery of this golden talisman.
Li Mu took a deep breath, and according to the records in "The True Explanation of Divine Patterns", his fingers gathered spiritual power and danced in the air. A series of spiritual lights jumped out from his fingertips, gradually forming a complex and exquisite divine pattern pattern.
As the divine pattern pattern was completed, Li Mu suddenly felt that the power of the golden talisman attached to his arm was activated. He was slightly happy and confirmed that he had found the right method.
Although the gold pattern cannot be completely cracked, if the Yuan force in the gold pattern can be activated, a way to replenish it can be found.
Just as Li Mu was devoted to the research of the ‘Earth Yuan Condensation Talisman’, in the outside world, in the competition space, many trialists participating in the inheritance competition were fighting fiercely.
In the competition space, a vast field, under the pursuit of giant stone puppets, the trialists were driven to a certain area, and when they met, they started a fierce fight.
They formed a team and cooperated with each other. A trialist holding a long sword and graceful movements shuttled freely among the crowd. Every time he swung the sword, it was accompanied by a sharp sword aura, which made people dare not approach easily. He was "Sword Shadow" Zhang Yun, who was famous among the trialists for his superb swordsmanship.
On the other side, a burly trialist holding a giant hammer rushed all the way, and no one could stop him. His name was "Iron Wall" Wang Gang, and he became the focus of everyone's attention with his indestructible defense and powerful strength.
However, the most eye-catching person in this competition space is the trial-taker who is walking alone, a magic cultivator wearing magic armor and emitting terrifying demonic energy. His appearance is like a nightmare, making the other trial-taker feel despair.
The Immortal Demon Lord slaughtered other trialists in the competition space, his figure shuttled through the crowd like a ghost, and every move was full of the power to destroy the world.
Whether it was the sharp sword energy of Sword Shadow Zhang Yun or the huge hammer of Iron Wall Wang Gang, they could not resist his offensive, and he easily defeated one trialist after another, not even leaving them any chance to resist.
The purpose of the Immortal Demon Lord was not just to slaughter the trialists, but to search for Li Mu's figure. He must find him and eliminate him, and completely eliminate this big worry.
However, Li Mu seemed to have disappeared. No matter how the Immortal Demon Lord searched, he could not find his whereabouts. This made the Immortal Demon Lord angry and frustrated. He began to become more crazy and cruel, and increased the intensity of slaughtering other trialists. He even used the soul-searching technique on those trialists, trying to get Li Mu's traces from the souls of those defeated trialists.
"Demon cultivators in the fusion realm, retreat quickly!"
Discovering the figure of the Immortal Demon Lord, Taoist Huanglong called out to several companions, and his figure turned into a stream of light and flew away in other directions.
The Immortal Demon Lord heard Taoist Huanglong's call, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His figure flashed and he instantly appeared in front of Taoist Huanglong. He slapped out with one palm, and the terrifying Immortal Demon Qi surged towards Taoist Huanglong like a wave.
A trace of determination flashed in Taoist Huanglong's eyes. He bit his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which turned into a golden light, trying to resist the attack of the Immortal Demon Lord.
However, the strength of the Immortal Demon Lord far exceeded Taoist Huanglong's imagination. The golden light was like paper in front of the Immortal Demon Qi and was torn apart in an instant. Taoist Huanglong only had time to let out a scream before he was swallowed by the Immortal Demon Qi.
The next moment, Taoist Huanglong's head was grabbed by the Immortal Demon Lord, and the demon Qi surged in, and he performed the soul-searching technique without thinking.
"Haha! I found you! Let's see where you can hide this time!"
The Immortal Demon Lord's eyes flashed with a hint of pride and ecstasy, and his voice echoed in the trial space, full of the pleasure of revenge.
"Hahaha! Do you think you can escape? No matter where you hide, I will find you and destroy you completely!" The Immortal Demon Lord laughed grimly, and his voice echoed in the space, making every trial participant shudder. (End of this chapter)
