Everyone decided to take a rest first and recover somewhat before progressing to the spatial gate.
Within a certain dark space, a woman with black hair coiled her serpentine lower body under her as she sat in her chair and looked up with a smile at the image of An Lin and the others.
A bald man stood off to the side respectfully.
The frightening wounds all over his body had already begun to heal over from his powerful regenerative abilities. He still had a lot of internal injuries, but those were unable to affect his movement much.
“What a strong team, the trial-takers from the Heavenly Court sure are impressive.” Black Spirit Snake had witnessed the entirety of the battle and even the final scores were determined by her. Hence, she didn’t spare any words of praise for the group on her screen.
“If we don’t push them to their limits during the trials, we won’t be able to find out just what they’re made of. It appears now that such a brilliant team is indeed worthy of Celestial Immortal Shou Yang’s inheritance…” Black Spirit Snake continued.
The bald man nodded in agreement. “Their aptitude, cultivation methods, determination, and cultivation path are all of the highest calibers. Especially those five; if I didn’t face them in battle, I’d have never believed they would be capable of so much power.”
Black Spirit Snake chuckled lightly. “A woman with an Ancient Sword Dao Physique with the potential to become an unrivaled Sword Immortal, a successor to the Dao of Myriad Spirit Taichi, a woman with dual bloodlines of both dragon and phoenix, a successor to the True Yin Physique of the Moon Palace, and a man who… a man who uses hacks. It’s no surprise their combined strength was able to defeat you.”
The bald man was clearly not expecting Black Spirit Snake to have such in-depth intel on these five people, but what did she mean by the man who used hacks?
He thought back to his battle with An Lin, where he had black mist billowing from his body as he unleashed his devastating Endless Night sword technique, and felt like this An Lin had indeed used hacks…
Make a mental note not to mess with him in the future…
“Shou Yang had helped us in the past, so let’s complete this final step for him.” Black Spirit Snake’s fingers flew across the screen as a series of treasures as well as cultivation methods and techniques began to appear in a certain space.
The bald man looked at the treasures and swallowed with envy.
…
One hour later.
All the team members had had a good rest, and as for the most severely injured among them, they could be carried while lying down.
Xuanyuan Cheng brought out a magic treasure rug. It was warm and snug to lie down on and had a capacity for many people.
Tears instantly streaked out from Tang Ximen’s eyes.
F*ck, why didn’t you bring this out earlier! Don’t you know how uncomfortable it was lying on An Lin’s cold, hard brick!?
Thus, the disabled trio consisting of An Lin, Liu Qianhuan, and Tang Ximen all lay on the flying rug with content expressions. Even Su Qianyun and Xuanyuan Cheng decided to lie down on the rug. They were both quite severely injured too and even though they could still walk, they really didn’t want to.
Xu Xiaolan, Hu Guan, and Yao Mingxi only had light injuries so there was no place for them on the flying rug.
An Lin sighed as fear lingered in his heart. This was indeed an extremely frightening trial. There were five who were severely injured and three with light injuries. If he hadn’t risked his life and fought with all his might, they most likely would have all been killed…
The flying rug slowly carried the five of them toward the spatial gate.
An Lin was praying for some really good treasures to justify everyone’s efforts.
They passed through a white tunnel and were greeted by the sight of a circular white altar.
The thirty-feet-tall statue of a man stood in the center of the altar.
The man wore a solemn expression and wielded a massive sword as he looked out ahead of him with determination in his eyes.
An Lin immediately recognized the statue; it was a statue of Celestial Immortal Shou Yang himself!
He craned his neck to look around himself in search of treasures, but he could only lie back down in disappointment after finding nothing.
Right at this moment, another film of light appeared in the sky, displaying everyone’s total scores.
An Lin: 33,100 points. Xuanyuan Cheng: 15,400 points. Liu Qianhuan: 14,800 points. Su Qianyun: 12,450 points. Xu Xiaolan: 12,430 points. Yao Mingxi: 2,720 points. Hu Guan: 2,150 points. Tian Lingling: 220 points. White Spirit Snake: 130 points. Tang Ximen: 0 points.
An Lin was extremely pleased to see that he had come in first by a landslide.
No one had any strong reactions as their scores were around what they were all expecting anyway. Only Tang Ximen felt quite aggrieved looking at his donut.
Moments later, another film of light appeared in the sky.
Everyone looked up and drew in sharp breaths in unison.
There were all types of treasures on there with the corresponding scores required to exchange for the treasure next to the items. There was a note at the lower right corner too: all items can only be exchanged for once, and whoever exchanges for the item first will get the only copy.
Everyone’s breathing accelerated as they looked up at the items.
There were a lot of treasures; even two immortal tools!
Heavenly Ice Silk Garment, elementary rank immortal tool. This item of clothing was stitched from the divine silk of the Heavenly Ice Silkworm, which produced strands of silk only once every ten thousand years. The garment had the ability to merge into the wearer’s skin and activate an extremely powerful defense in the face of life-threatening danger. The item could be exchanged for fourteen thousand points.
Immortal-Sealing Gloves, elementary rank immortal tool, constructed from the Holy Sky Crystals of the Holy Paradise. The gloves can amplify the wearer’s power as well as store energy to be released in one explosive blast. It could also unleash a special immortal-sealing spell technique. The item could be exchanged for fifteen thousand points.
An Lin had to admit that he was tempted by those two items.
He did have a powerful immortal tool in the form of his Evil-Slaying Sword, as well as the useless immortal tool, Realm-Piercing Nail, but who wouldn’t want more immortal tools? It was obviously a case of the more the better! His points were sufficient to grab both the immortal tools!
With this in mind, his gaze drifted toward Xuanyuan Cheng and Liu Qianhuan.
Xuanyuan Cheng had fifteen thousand and four hundred points while Liu Qianhuan had fourteen thousand eight hundred and seventy points. They were the only other people with enough points to exchange for the immortal tools…
However, Liu Qianhuan’s attention was not on the two immortal tools. She had her sights set on Celestial Immortal Shou Yang’s signature mystic technique, Mist Immortal Technique.
The Mist Immortal Technique could allow a cultivator to transform their body into cloud and mist to travel for thousands of kilometers at a time. It was also useful in battle as a technique which incorporated both attack and defense. The item could be exchanged for thirteen thousand points.
All the other team members soon also had their eyes set on the items of their desires.
Spirit tools required five hundred to six thousand points to exchange. There were also spirit pills and immortal pills, of which spirit pills required twenty to seven hundred points per pill, while immortal pills all required in excess of one thousand points each, and there were only five of them available.
What was also worthy of mention was, they could exchange their points for spirit stones too at a ratio of 1:200.
So An Lin was essentially able to exchange his points for more than six million spirit stones; what a massive haul!
For an earthling like Tian Lingling, she was completely dumbfounded by the sheer amount of spirit stones available to her.
She ran through a quick calculation and discovered that if she exchanged the entirety of her two hundred and twenty points into spirit stones, she would end up with forty-four thousand spirit stones…
Holy Mother of God! What an insane amount!!!
Tian Lingling stood rooted to the spot with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
There was a total of seven million spirit stones available so she wasn’t worried about the supply of spirit stones running out before she had a chance to exchange her points.
Everyone was looking at all the available treasures with dumb smiles on their faces.
An Lin was not in a hurry to make any decisions and continued to flick through the catalog of items.
Soon, he saw an item which made his breathing drastically accelerate as his eyes widened in shock.
Heart of the Divine God: you can exchange eight thousand points for a chance to come into contact with the Heart of the Divine God in the Shou Yang Tomb. If it accepts you as its owner, you will receive a bonus Divine God’s Elixir.
