Bai Xiang and the rest also passed the evaluation very quickly and followed behind Bei Feng to enter the city.

While these puppets seemed to be quite harmless looking from afar, only when approaching close to the puppets did everyone sense just how much power was hidden within them!

Not mentioning the black armored puppets which had strength at the peak of the Controlled Dan level and the Void Gu realm puppets, the foremost one was something that had the power at the Transcendent realm!

If one really wanted to barge in by force, perhaps it would only be possible if all the cultivators and Demonic Beasts gathered together at a single gate and charged in together. Even then, they’d need to pay a heavy price in the progress!

And who knew what kind of consequences would arise from forcefully barging through the puppets?

At this time, Bei Feng’s brows were furrowed deeply. The number of puppets had lessened!

“There had clearly been 101 puppets at first, but there’s only 78 now. The leader of the puppets had also disappeared. The number of people that’d entered the city was also 23!”

Bei Feng discovered the anomaly and warned Bai Xiang and the rest to be careful before finally stepping into the formation.

“Pop!”

A light sound rang out, almost as if he’d passed through a thin veil. When he turned around, Bai Xiang and the rest were no longer there.

A tugging sensation pulled at him, and Bei Feng felt like his body was being stretched endlessly. But the protection he gave to the little fox did not lessen, but instead increased!

“Pa-da!”

Bei Feng’s feet landed solidly on the ground. Steadying himself, he looked around him. He was currently in a metallic chamber. A small stone platform stood in the center of it, covered by a golden barrier and with a jade bottle within it. The jade bottle seemed to contain some kind of crisp green liquid.

“As expected, is this a spatial transference sort of formation?”

Bei Feng surveyed his surroundings carefully, and did not even have the thought of trying out the walls’ thickness. Since he was transported to this room, there had to be some purpose for it. If he could break out of it so easily, what would be the point of the whole thing?

The ventilation in the chamber was surprisingly smooth. Despite so many years having passed, there wasn’t a speck of dust inside. A white pearl shimmered on the ceiling, illuminating the chamber.

“Shua!”

As a light sound rang out, Bei Feng immediately turned around and looked at a figure clad in silver light. Slowly, the silver light disappeared and a puppet clad in black armor was revealed. The puppet held a bronze sword steadily in its hand.

“Kuang! Kuang!”

“Clang!”

The black puppet’s aura was extremely large, reaching the Void Gu realm. At this time, a green light flashed in its eyes, and its aura began to decline rapidly until it reached the peak of the Controlled Dan middle stage!

The aura on its armor and its sword also dropped, no longer remaining as sharp and sturdy as before.

The heavy armor made a clanking sound as the puppet moved, and the bronze sword’s edge also gleamed brightly in the chamber.

“Is this a test? This fellow is stronger than my cultivation level by one level.”

Bei Feng’s interest rose, and he did not panic.

“Zheng!”

The puppet suddenly charged over, its actions not clunky in the least as it swung its sword at Bei Feng!

“Dang!”

Bei Feng flicked out a finger, and the sturdy and sharp sword was instantly deflected away.

The puppet was not flustered. Borrowing the strength of the deflection, it spun its body, generating even more strength as it slashed its sword at Bei Feng’s neck!

This movement was exceptionally swift, and most peak level middle stage Controlled Dan experts might not even be able to dodge it!

Unfortunately for it, although Bei Feng’s cultivation realm was low, his strength and speed were not something that could be compared with those of regular Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts!

This sword was still too slow in Bei Feng’s eyes. It was so slow that he could clearly “see” the sword’s edge slicing through the air and the particles around it flowing along the blade!

Bei Feng took one step back; although this step was not large, it was like distance between the heavens and earth, unreachable by the blade which passed harmlessly several millimeters below his chin!

There wasn’t any sword Qi or anything; this sword’s power was extremely dense, all congealed within the sword itself!

Although it looked normal, the explosive strength of this sword was terrifying! It was a sword art meant for killing! There weren’t any intricate or graceful techniques; every stroke and strike was simple, and executed with the least amount of movements, all to deal the most lethal damage to its opponent!

Bei Feng had throughly analyzed the puppet’s movements in just a short while. In that moment, he didn’t bother to continue playing with it anly longer. Although its techniques were intruiguing, its difference in power with Bei Feng was too wide. This difference was not something that mere technique could overcome... unless it was a special martial technique.

‘With this level of difficulty, how many people would be able to pass the trial?’ Bei Feng thought silently. The puppets were set to be one small realm stronger than the challenger, and with their lethal swordplay, perhaps a large portion of the cultivators would not be able to pass!

‘Eh? Not right, that can’t be the case... so that’s how it is!’

Bei Feng was deep in thought as he dodged about in the chamber. Although his actions looked slow and relaxed, he was always able to evade the puppet’s strikes by the slimmest of margins. As he turned his head, he just happened to see two concaved patterns on the stone platform.

Calculating the time when he first stepped into the chamber to now, and looking at the green light on the puppet’s body, Bei Feng instantly understood.

‘Looks like one just needs to hang on for one minute? But why are there two concaved areas?’

Bei Feng turned back to the puppet and smiled. The white light on the puppet’s body was growing more and more intense, almost about to cover its entire body. At this time, he did not hold back anything and split the puppet into two from top to bottom with a Battle Dragon Axe!

“Ka-cha!”

Large amounts of spare parts dropped out of the puppet’s body, and an infant fist-sized colorless pearl fell out of its chest.

The reason he’d been able to split the puppet in two from top to bottom was because the sturdiness of its material had been weakened to correspond with the cultivation realm it was displaying. Otherwise, there was no way he could defeat the full-power puppet so easily or split it apart so cleanly in one stroke.

“Not a bad weapon, could this puppet be a mechanical construct made by the Gongshu Clan?” Bei Feng muttered to himself. The ancient era was such an enrapturing one, where all schools of thoughts and philosophers contended for attention and the world enjoyed an era of unprecedented prosperity!

Bei Feng picked up the colorless pearl and the bronze sword and placed them on the concaved spots beside the platform.

Noiselessly, the golden barrier around the platform disappeared.

As soon as he touched the jade bottle, a message rang out in Bei Feng’s head.

“Ding! Peak Grade 9 Treasure obtained, Longevity Fluid! (In his bid to seek immortality, Emperor Qin Shihuang used the power of the entire dynasty to gather all kinds of precious treasures in the world, passing them to his alchemists to conconct a pill of immortality. This liquid is a failed product of the experiments, and could extend one’s lifespan by three years!) Experience gained: 0!”

Bei Feng looked at the tiny droplet of liquid in the jade bottle with some shock. How unexpected that such a small thing actually had such a shocking history behind it, being able to extend one’s lifespan by three years!

If one had to say what kind of spirit medicine was the most precious, the kind that extended one’s lifespan was undoubtedly the most valued! Among the same grade of spirit medicine, those that could extend lifespan were worth at least 10 times the price!

Bei Feng laughed loudly, his eyes narrowed into mere slits as he held the bottle in his hand. He hadn’t felt so happy even when he successfully broke through to the Controlled Dan realm.

“Look, little fox, I told you that I wouldn’t let you die, didn’t I?”

Bei Feng opened the jade bottle and wrapped the liquid in his blood and Qi before delivering to the little fox’s mouth.

After that, he patiently infused his blood and Qi energy into the litle fox’s body, washing through its body carefully, helping it to absorb the Longevity Fluid.

After a long time, the little fox’s frail life fire finally began to stabilize. Bei Feng also loosed a sigh of relief.

The two concaved parts on the sides of the stone platform just so happened to be in the shape of the bronze sword and the colorless pearl that Bei Feng had looted from the puppet.

Quite apparently, this was an entrance trial, and the lowest condition for passing was to last one minute against a puppet oppenent that was one small realm above one’s cultivation level!

Passage would be granted if one endured for one minute; but if not, they would naturally be killed by the puppet.

As for the second test, it was to kill the puppet before one minute and obtain its pearl and weapon. Doing so would naturally result in a greater reward, and for Bei Feng’s case, it was one drop of Longevity Fluid!

In the side of the chamber’s wall, a door had appeared soundlessly, with a long corridor behind it that led to an unknown location.

Bei Feng shrugged his shoulders and pulled out the bronze sword, preparing to take it with him. But as soon as he tugged the sword upwards, the stone door began to shut.

“Tsk, how stingy.”

Bei Feng clucked his tongue and pushed the sword back into place. Then, without further hesitation, he walked into the passage.

As soon as he stepped foot on the corridor, the door behind him closed, and Bei Feng arrived before the entrance of a large maze.

This maze was vast beyond imagination, and the roars of beasts rang out from it from time to time.

‘What a grand stroke—it’s not just space that’d been restricted, even mental power is the same!’

Bei Feng swept his mental power outwards, but realized that it’d been shrunk to cover only 10 meters now. Compared to the hundreds of meters before, this was a huge restriction.

There weren’t any paths of retreat, either. Bei Feng could only advance.

The passage behind him had closed, sealed behind a metal wall as soon as he entered.

When he placed his hand on the metal wall, the System told him that this metal wall was made up of 3 Star grade metal!

Even Transcendent realm experts would not be able to break it. The sturdiness was high to a shocking extent!

Bei Feng tried to leap upwards, but a powerful pressure pushed him down again. The highest he managed to leap was to 15 meters high before he was pushed back down!

As for walking on the ground, it was completely fine. There weren’t any problems to travel at supersonic speed at all.

As much as he tried, Bei Feng could not walk out of the gigantic maze. It was as if he was the only person in the entire place.

“Hou!”

At this time, Demonic Beast not even three zhang tall—seemingly a cross between a tiger and a leopard—suddenly leaped out, brandishing its sharp claws at him. In terms of speed, it wasn’t inferior to even Bei Feng!

Body covered with scratches, Bei Feng ran as black-colored blood dripped from him. Clearly, he had been poisoned!

“Darn it! This Demonic Beast is too fast!” Bei Feng cursed as he barely doged the Demonic Beast’s attacks!

This Demonic Beast was an existence in the Void Gu realm. It was extremely cautious, slowly exhausting its prey’s strength like a patient hunter.

Bei Feng endured the attacks, not using the Mixed Yuan Body in case this crafty beast ran away as soon as he used it. If it returned when he was weakened by the secret art’s side effects, that would be troublesome.

The Demonic Beast stood a hundred meters away from Bei Feng, looking at him coldly as it licked its claws gingerly. / NovelFull.Com

Bei Feng puckered his dried lips and hugged the little fox closer to his chest. The little fellow was still motionless and in a deep sleep. After some time, the Demonic Beast finally slunk away back into the darkness.
