C55 Last day

The change in the bamboo block shocked the Xiao Zhi. Furthermore, when he reacted, it seemed to be related to the golden sword, which meant that it was very possible that it was related to the legendary Conqueror.

If that was the case …

Xiao Zhi did not dare to continue thinking about it. If that was the case, what kind of secret would be hidden within it?

Just that, although this set of Mountain Diagram was very clear, Xiao Zhi was very unfamiliar with it, and in his impression of it, he didn't. Moreover, this Mountain Diagram did not have any indication that it was formed from energy. It seemed to have been condensed from energy by an extremely shocking method.

"It seems to be a unique formation."

Xiao Zhi muttered to himself. His understanding of formations was very profound after obtaining the Spirit Subduing Law. Naturally, it was not difficult to tell. Upon closer inspection, Chu Feng felt that this method was truly mysterious. It could even be said to be extraordinary.

Just as Xiao Zhi was at a loss for what to do, the Mountain Diagram actually followed Xiao Zhi's hand and directly entered his body, and then rushed into his sea of consciousness, causing this scene to automatically appear in Gao Zhi's mind.

Gao Zhi was shocked, and quickly checked himself. He discovered that it was the same as when the golden paper and sword had entered his body. There was nothing wrong with it. It was as if that was just a soul imprint, and was of no use at all.

Gao Zhi frowned and thought for a while, but in the end, he could only put this matter aside. The Secret Techniques here did not even catch his attention. He really wanted to go up to the third floor. However, it was directly intercepted. Not even with the Elder Tianlong's command medallion, unless there was a Sect Leader's command medallion, and it greatly contributed to the Heaven Gate.

A month's time was extremely important to this new generation of disciples. Furthermore, during this period of time, these disciples not only had to diligently train, they also had to make a choice.

He entered the blood forest and participated in the training.

He refused to participate and left the Heaven Gate.

The Heaven Gate was the second ranked Cultivation Sect in the entire Dao Luo continent. It had the true knowledge of Grimoire and Secret Techniques, as well as the teachings of a master. Once an adult had reached a certain level of cultivation, they would be favored by the dynasty, and they would very likely hold an important position. At that time, they would become well-known and respected by the world.

However, if he were to withdraw, all his efforts would be wasted. Moreover, his cultivation would be destroyed.

Crippling one's cultivation was a terrifying thing.

This was a world where the strong were respected. Losing the qualifications to cultivate was equivalent to losing the opportunity to stand out. In the Gate of Heaven, you can do whatever you want to enter. However, you can't think of any way to get out.

Even though the Xiao Zhi could enter the dense forest at any time, the fact was that with the Heaven Gate as the center, it was a large area that belonged to the Heaven Gate region. It was hidden by the great formation, guarded by powerful experts. Any disciple who left the Heaven Gate without obtaining permission would be severely punished.

If they were serious, they might even lose their lives.

This was the dark side of the Heaven Gate.

Xiao Zhi only found out about this recently from Wu Bupang. Furthermore, according to Wu Bupang, these new generation of disciples, would only serve the Heaven Gate in the future, and those who did not participate in the trial would directly die.

As for those sent in by the great powers and clans, their cultivation bases would be destroyed, leaving behind only their lives. Moreover, there was also a tyrannical order to keep all secrets to themselves. If any of the Heaven Gate cultivation techniques or secret techniques were discovered, the entire clan would be in great danger.

Therefore, those who were crippled could even be killed by their own family members as soon as they returned.

It was all because they couldn't afford to offend the Heaven Gate.

On the Dao Luo continent, there were six great sects. One was the Dao Gate, two was the Heaven Gate, three was the Death Gate, four was the Life Gate, five was the Hidden Dragon Gate, and six was the Heaven-Revolving Star Sect. Each sect had absolute power, and within a certain range, they could control everything.

It could be said that if the six great sects were to attack at the same time, even the entire Douluo Continent could be destroyed at any moment.

This was an extremely terrifying power. Even though the Emperor Dragon Dynasty and the Tianyu Dynasty were incomparably powerful and had a powerful military, they were still very wary of them.

The Xiao Zhi was silent. He had nothing to say about all these. This was because strength.

In the dense forest at the back of the mountain, the Xiao Zhi focused on training the Art of Elemental Heaven. Right now, his skin was like iron, and his muscles bulged under his skin like land dragons.

By chance, a sword light could be seen flashing in the forest, the golden sword in Xiao Zhi's hand looked extremely illusionary. The set of sword techniques he displayed was also extremely exquisite, but it was not recorded in the 'Art of Elemental Heaven'. It was another set of medium-grade earth-step secret skills called the 'Waterfall Sword Art', when cultivated to a high depth, the user could stand under the surging waterfall. With a move of the sword technique, even if he brandished the sword for a day, there would not be any traces of water on his body.

Although the Xiao Zhi was not able to reach that realm, it was not bad. Furthermore, the golden sword was extremely mysterious. Xiao Zhi felt that his fighting strength had increased by at least 30%.

During this period of time, Xiao Zhi did not feel the slightest pain for the elemental energy stone Old Man Tian Yun had prepared for him, as a large amount of energy was being consumed.

A month's time limit, in the blink of an eye, twenty-eight days passed.

Xiao Zhi crossed his legs facing the morning sun, his expression was solemn, and his body surged with Dao Energy. In this period of time, he had almost used up all of the inner ring of Tao and only a dozen or so of them were still lying there. He was preparing for any future encounters, so as to leave a backup plan for himself.

At the moment, his cultivation was still at the first stage of the Dao Resisting Realm.

And today, he was going to make a substantial breakthrough.

Originally, he had wanted to be like the Dao Accomplishment Realm and directly ascend through realms. However, it was only now that he realized that was almost impossible. It was impossible to suppress his cultivation level. The Dao energy in his body was already boiling, like a water bag that was about to burst.

Xiao Zhi understood that he had to choose this opportunity to break through.

This time was also very good, because they were about to enter the blood forest, and at that time, they would need true strength to fight.

"Boom!"

A terrifying light shot out from Xiao Zhi's eyes as dao diagrams appeared one by one. White tiger, giant python and sapling appeared.

The three dao diagrams stood shoulder to shoulder behind the Xiao Zhi. Fortunately, there were no people here, so he did not need to worry about being discovered.

"Intake of Qi into the body, circulate energy around the body, the dao diagram will stir the world!"

The Xiao Zhi gently said as the dao diagram quickly revolved around him, unceasingly affecting the heaven and earth origin energy in all directions, causing it to form a whirlpool of origin energy.

Xiao Zhi suppressed a large amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, causing it to turn into a gush of force that rushed into his body, but it did not enter the Daohai. It filled every corner of his body, under the skin.

Very quickly, Xiao Zhi's face turned slightly red, but he still gritted his teeth.

This time, he felt that he could at least break through three to four small realms, or even more. Because, recently he had absorbed too many elemental energy stone, and those elemental energy stone were enough to let a domineering state cultivator directly break through a small realm.

"Boom!"

A violent wave of Dao energy swept out in all directions, smashing apart all the trees and stones in the area as easily as crushing dry weeds.

The body of the Xiao Zhi was crystal clear, with dao energy flowing within. The energy fluctuations in his body contracted and then expanded. The cycle repeated, continuously being compressed by the Xiao Zhi, and then absorbed.

At this moment, the three dao diagrams released strange undulations, matching with the Xiao Zhi. Suddenly, the skeleton appeared again in the darkness. Its eyes shone with a cold light.

After a long while, the commotion stopped.

However, Xiao Zhi's face did not reveal any joy. Instead, it was filled with surprise.

"Strange, he only broke through one small realm!"

Xiao Zhi did not understand, as the difference was too big compared to his estimation.

"Could it be because of the Dao Diagram?"

The Xiao Zhi turned the dao diagram around and found that the three types of dao diagrams were getting clearer and clearer. It was really like a painting, there was not a single line of dao qi that was formed. Xiao Zhi could even feel a hint of life from their bodies. However, it was very faint and would make people suspect that it was just an illusion.

It was obvious that all three of them had absorbed a large amount of Dao power due to the breakthrough the Xiao Zhi had gone through. Thus, they would be able to condense and strengthen themselves.

"This …"

Xiao Zhi started to have a headache. He was very clear that the amount of energy he had accumulated was definitely enough for him to raise his cultivation by three or four realms.

However, no matter what, the power of the dao diagram was only an increase in one's own strength.

Xiao Zhi also understood this principle, for a very long time in the future, because of the three types of dao diagrams, he would not be able to quickly advance, and would probably be thrown far, far away by his peers.

"Although it only increased my cultivation by a small realm, my battle prowess has at least doubled."

Xiao Zhi clenched his fist, and could feel the power filling his body.

One must know that when ordinary cultivators raise their cultivation by a small realm, their battle prowess would only increase by a few fold. The highest cultivation realm, however, would only increase by a mere sixty percent. Even so, after raising one's cultivation by a large realm, one's strength would increase at least five times.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhi had only increased by a small realm, and that had doubled. If others were to find out, they would be shocked.

Xiao Zhi withdrew his dao diagram and stood up, a light flickering in his eyes. Other than the first day and the day of his breakthrough, the one month time limit had already arrived.

All disciples will officially enter blood forest tomorrow!

They began a bloody test, a test that focused mainly on escaping and killing people.

"Bring it on!"

Xiao Zhi dashed toward the location of the Heaven Gate like a fierce tiger descending the mountain. There was no fear in his heart, only intense confidence.

The Heaven Gate had been boiling since a long time ago. Because this was the last day before the test, and because a small portion of the disciples did not dare to participate in the test, they were kicked out of the Heaven Gate, or were even secretly killed.

Excited, excited, and panicked, all sorts of complex emotions enveloped the disciples of the thirty-nine generations. Only the thirty-eight generations of disciples were fearless. They were all silently calculating how they would proceed with the hunt this time!

In a small corner, an old man had a gloomy face, his tone low and cold, "Xiao Zhi? Hmph hmph, I will definitely take revenge for my grandson! Since you can't find the real culprit, you can accompany my grandson in death! blood forest will become your burial ground and today will be your last day to be able to breathe free air. "
