C12 Trial

"What?! Even you escaped into the demonic path?" Chen Xiao's eyes widened as he stared at Wang Huang in disbelief.

The reason why he escaped into the demonic path was because he happened to see the Hidden Dragon Gate destroyed, which was why his heart was in such a state. At this time, Wang Huang was meditating in the midst of his cultivation, so how could he escape into the demonic path, where killing intent dominated everything?

Wang Huang was also puzzled. However, it was a fact that he had escaped into the Path of Demon. His Jindan had disappeared and was now in a state of chaos like Chen Xiao.

"This... "What's going on?" Wang Huang frowned, obviously wanting to understand this matter.

However, Chen Xiao and Wang Huang did not have any Aurous Core stage cultivation experience, so even if they wanted to understand the sequence of events, they did not know where to start. Helpless, they could only accept this fact.

However, what was even more surprising was that Wang Huang seemed to have a talent for the cultivation of the demonic path. From the moment he had entered the demonic path, his cultivation had skyrocketed, from the early Aurous Core stage to the peak of the Aurous Core stage.

Wang Huang did not stay long at the beginning of Fasting Stage. Only after a few months, he reached the peak of Fasting Stage once again.

This caused Chen Xiao, who had watched the entire process from the side, to be completely shocked. He had never thought of his lazy junior brother, but his cultivation progress was actually faster and more formidable than his.

Originally, Chen Xiao had the sect's secret scriptures that improved his physique. Furthermore, with the aid of the abundant spiritual energy from his precious land, he was able to reach the intermediate Fasting Stage in such a short period of time. He was considered one of the most talented individuals in the Immortal Illusionary Continent.

"This isn't the feeling of food. It's still a little unaccustomed to it." Wang Huang said lazily as he smacked his lips.

He was already in the Fasting Stage, so he naturally didn't need to eat anymore. However, Wang Huang felt that he wasn't used to it. He would occasionally get some small animals to satisfy his tongue.

After Wang Huang reached the peak of Fasting, he seemed to have entered a bottleneck and stopped breaking through. Every day, besides studying his surroundings, he would constantly consolidate a new realm.

And not long after, Chen Xiao had also reached the peak of Fasting. The two of them were very happy. After all, they had never even dreamed of having such fast cultivation speed.

When both of them stabilized their new cultivation realms, they discovered that they had reached a bottleneck in unison.

"Senior Brother, should we start the smelting trial?" Wang Huang looked at the dozen or so tunnels, his heart filled with eagerness to try.

After all, his current strength was no longer the same as before. With this sudden increase in strength, the sudden burst of self-confidence made Wang Huang anxious to find something to prove himself. Now that the survival training had given him this opportunity.

Chen Xiao had previously said that they would enter the trial once they encountered a bottleneck. Now that the two of them had reached it, it was only natural that they would begin their long planned preparations.

Touching the sword in her hand, Chen Xiao asked with a smile, "Junior Brother, are you ready?"

"I'm ready." Wang Huang's eyes were filled with confidence.

"Alright, let's see who will be able to complete this precious training ground's trial." Chen Xiao's figure suddenly trembled as she appeared at the entrance of a passageway.

Wang Huang also chose a path and followed closely behind.

After the two of them entered the passageway, there was suddenly a period of silence in the air. Following that, the dozen or so passages disappeared without a trace. Chen Xiao and Wang Huang had also disappeared without a trace.

After Chen Xiao entered the passageway, she realized that it was no different from the outside. It was still filled with gems and stone corridors.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao stopped. He noticed that there was another stone slab at the end of the corridor.

Walking up, the words on the stone slab immediately entered Chen Xiao's eyes. This was a stone board that introduced the content of the assessment. After Chen Xiao carefully read it, she already had a general understanding of the content of the trials.

This cultivation treasure was passed down from a supreme great sect. This was where the disciple was once promoted, and the disciple had to reach the Fasting Stage before they could participate in the assessment. Otherwise, there was no chance of passing.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao rejoiced inwardly. He and Wang Huang were already at the peak Fasting Stage. From the looks of it, as long as they were careful, there should not be much of a problem.

The dozen tunnels required a dozen different types of examinations. Furthermore, the content of the examination Chen Xiao entered was the control of Dharma treasures. It required him to simultaneously control seven Dharma treasures to defeat seven puppets.

Chen Xiao could not help but exclaim in surprise. This Unparalleled Great Sect was truly different. At the same time, it controlled seven Dharma treasures to attack the puppets separately. Such a level of spiritual energy was probably not something that could be found in the current Immortal Illusionary Continent.

However, this made Chen Xiao want to give it a try. Since the Unparalleled Church had such a trial, it did not mean that they had done it randomly. It was definitely possible for them to create such a trial.

Chen Xiao thought of how he would need to rely on his own strength to face a hundred thousand cultivators in the future. If he could really do it, it might be of help to his revenge in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao walked to a stone platform without any hesitation and placed seven Dharma treasures on it. Although a long time had passed, the magical equipment were still glowing brightly. Clearly, they were not ordinary.

These seven Magic Treasures were all offensive. It seemed like they were specially prepared for this trial. Other than the five flying swords, there was also a gourd and a palm-leaf fan.

Chen Xiao did not make a move and immediately used her divine sense to control the flying sword. When she was at the Hidden Dragon Gate, she could only control one flying sword.

Just as Chen Xiao managed to control one flying sword and wanted to split a thread of her consciousness to continue controlling the other, her original divine intent was also affected. Immediately, it became very unstable, causing Chen Xiao to immediately withdraw a sliver of her divine intent, preventing the flying sword from losing control.

But even so, it made Chen Xiao sweat profusely. After all, using one's spiritual sense to control a magic treasure was an extremely taxing and tiring task, not to mention trying to control another under the limits of the magic treasure. It was simply beyond the limit.

After wiping off her sweat, Chen Xiao gritted her teeth and continued trying.

Failure!

Failure!

Still failed!

Defeat after failure did not cause Chen Xiao to become discouraged. On the contrary, it was as though his fighting spirit had been roused as he grew more spirited.

Gradually, Chen Xiao felt that his strengthened tendons and veins seemed to have undergone some sort of transformation after repeated extreme attempts.

When Chen Xiao split out another thread of her divine intent and controlled her body's spiritual energy to control another flying sword, there was actually a tiny bit of spiritual energy that flowed through her thick tendons.

"Dual Spiritual Energy!" Feeling this scene, Chen Xiao could not help but cry out.

He had only heard of this kind of situation in legends. Most of them had been told to him by Lu Qingyun.

Legend has it that in the past, in the Immortal Illusion Continent, there were countless experts from various races. In such a prosperous environment, countless demon-level characters were born.

Although these people hadn't reached the level of a large success, they were able to defeat a large number of experts at the tribulation stage. One of these individuals was a demon cultivator who was in control of a spiritual energy technique.

Multiple spiritual energy techniques were able to allow demon cultivators to simultaneously use countless magic treasures. It could be said that under his control, it could completely create the illusion of multiple individuals. If it was an expert on the same level, even if he were to face many people, he wouldn't be afraid. After all, no one could simultaneously use several dozen Dharma treasures like him. It would be no different from having several helpers.

After that, after many inquiries from Lu Qingyun, he managed to give a barely reply to Chen Xiao. It was that if one wanted to cultivate multiple energies, one needed to be able to comprehend a dual set of energies at the beginning. The so-called dual energies were the two strands of spiritual energy that worked independently, while simultaneously being independent of each other.

This was the situation Chen Xiao was facing!

"Could it be that the trial in this passageway is a way to cultivate more spiritual energy?" Chen Xiao suddenly realized this problem.

Suddenly, with a 'ding-dong' sound, the flying sword fell to the ground. It was obvious that when Chen Xiao was pondering, she had not been able to control her Dharma treasure properly.

However, Chen Xiao did not feel vexed. Instead, he became exceptionally excited as he began to control the flying swords. Under Chen Xiao's repeated control, his spiritual energy became more and more agile. Finally, after countless failures, Chen Xiao managed to control the two flying swords.

Although the state of controlling the two flying swords was not stable, Chen Xiao was so excited that he wanted to roar. He was finally sure that the trials in the passageway were methods to cultivate multiple energies.

Perhaps he might not be able to complete all the cultivation methods, but as long as he could complete the trial mission, his control over his spiritual energy and magical equipment would be much stronger than others.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao calmed down and continued trying to control the Dharma treasures. Although he had failed many times, he was gradually able to control the two flying swords with great agility.

As she looked happily at the magic treasures on the stone platform, Chen Xiao's confidence increased by several folds.

"Next, let me try to control three flying swords!" With that, Chen Xiao controlled the two flying swords and once again spread out a thread of her spiritual sense towards the third flying sword.
