nUnder the dim environment, he could only vaguely see that it was a treasure chest. Looks like this place was just like that secret area.

nAs Su Yi thought to himself, the true essence under his feet stirred, and the clear water rippled as he quickly approached.

nThis treasure chest appeared rather abrupt at the bottom of the lake, as if it was placed here on purpose.

nHe opened it forcefully, and some bubbles appeared along with the opening of the treasure chest.

nWith a flash of multicolored light, the items in the treasure chest were reflected in front of Su Yi’s eyes.

nHe saw three sparkling white pearls, and he reached out and picked them up.

nHint: You have obtained essence of water x 3

nHint: Progress of the water swamp trial, 4

/10

nThere was nothing else in the treasure chest except for the three essence of water.

nLooking at the three glittering essence of water in his hand, he was slightly stunned.

n

n

nIf this was the trial, then was it not too easy to find these things?

nIn fact, he did not know that in this dense forest of the water swamp, many genius cultivators had gone crazy and found nothing.

nTherefore, Su Yi had some guesses. The essence of water in this dense forest of trees was probably limited. As long as there were enough cultivators who passed the first Heaven’s trial, then, the remaining cultivators could only stay in the first trial and could not go to the second trial.

nOf course, this was only a guess, but it also gave him a sense of urgency.

nHe could not delay any longer. He had to quickly find the essence of water.

n…

nHe channeled his true essence into his eyes, and his field of vision became clearer as he observed the place. Other than the treasure chest, he also found something strange.

nHe saw that under the muddy lake, in the clear water, there was actually a square giant boulder among the messy gravel.

nWhat attracted Su Yi’s attention was not the appearance of the boulder, but the flash of light.

nThat’s right, he actually saw a flash of light on the square boulder, and this was not his misconception. The light would flash once in a while like a beacon, confirming its presence.

nHe stared at it for a long time. As expected, a moment later, a white flash of light faintly flashed on the moss-covered boulder.

nIf it was not for the true essence in his eyes right now, he might not have been able to detect it.

nThen, his feet moved slightly, and he quickly swam to the boulder.

nHe saw that the moss covering the boulder was thick, with wisps of green silk drifting with the flowing water, making it impossible to see what the boulder really looked like.

n‘What on Earth is this?’ He thought to himself. Then, he used his hand to gently pull apart the moss threads.

nAfter pulling for a while, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the huge rock with some shock in his eyes.

nThe moment he came into contact with the huge rock, a force was transmitted from it. It spread through his entire body through his arm.

nThen, while Su Yi was in a daze, he discovered that he had already arrived in front of a huge gate among some mountains.

nThe two huge pillars were engraved with some inscriptions that he could not understand stood tall, reaching into the sky.

nIn Su Yi’s eyes, between these two majestic pillars, there was a staircase that led to an unknown place.

nAt the side of the staircase, there was a huge stone tablet. On it were three large words that were engraved with the flowing charm of Dao.

n‘Lingxiao sect’

nHe looked at the huge stone tablet and cried out in a low voice. Looking from afar, he could no longer see it clearly. There was a hazy fog everywhere, giving off an extremely surreal feeling.

nHe looked around him. Other than the mountain gate that he was at, everything was covered by the fog. He could not see the surrounding scene clearly.

n“Where exactly is this place?”

nSu Yi could not help but be on guard since he had come to this place for no reason, and it was very likely to be an illusion.

nIf he really knew that his real body was still in the water, without the protection of true essence, he was afraid that…

n“Don’t panic, it’s fated.”

nAn ancient voice came from behind Su Yi, making him jump a few steps back in shock.

nA figure had appeared behind him without him noticing.

nThis figure was a white-haired old man wearing a long white robe. His body was somewhat illusory, so much so that Su Yi could see the fog behind him through his body.

nHowever, this figure did not seem dull to him. Instead, it stood in front of him like a living person.

nHe looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared and asked in a deep voice, “who are you? What is this place? Why did you bring me into this illusion?”

nSu Yi’s expression was cautious. His gaze was solemn as he looked at the figure, and his body had already tensed up.

nWhen he saw Su Yi acting like this, the illusory old man stroked his grayish-white long beard and laughed.

n“Fated person, you don’t have to be so nervous. As you can see, this place is just an illusion.”

nThe old man in white waved his hand and looked at the surrounding fog.

nHis gaze seemed to be able to see through the fog, completely able to see the entire mountain area.

nHis expression seemed to be filled with nostalgia, at the same time, there was also some desolation and sadness.

nIt seemed to be regretting something, but soon, the old man’s illusory figure put away this expression.

nHe turned his gaze to Su Yi and said indifferently, his voice somewhat ethereal, “fated person, I am the third elder of Lingxiao sect, Yunxiao.”

nHe did not ask for Su Yi’s name. Perhaps he did not need to know Su Yi’s name at all.

nSu Yi stared at the old man’s illusory figure without saying anything. When he heard the old man’s tone, it was obvious that he had not finished speaking.

nAs expected, immediately after, the old man Yunxiao’s gaze was a little profound as he spoke indifferently.

n“I know that you have many questions in your heart, but listen to me first. This place is the mountain gate of my Lingxiao sect…”

nSu Yi roughly understood the old man Yunxiao’s words.

nIt was this Triple Heaven Trial that was once a large sect in a certain realm. Later on, due to the realm collapsing, the sect also perished and turned into this Triple Heaven Trial in the mystic realm.

nAfter waiting for an unknown number of years, only then did Su Yi come into contact with that stone tablet. It was that moss-covered mountain gate stone tablet.

nThat was why this scene happened.

n

n

nAfter the old man slowly finished speaking, there was respect on Su Yi’s expression. According to what this Yunxiao old man said, the Lingxiao sect was once one of the sects that fought against the outer realm heavenly devil.

nAlthough he did not know what the outer realm heavenly devil was, he knew from the name that it was not something good.

nWith some respect, he cupped his fists and bowed to Elder Yunxiao as he said, “senior, this junior already roughly understands the matters of senior’s sect. It’s just that I don’t know what you need this junior to do.”

nA faint smile appeared on the white-robed elder’s aged face. With a flip of his hand, a material key appeared in his hand.

nHe said indifferently with an amiable expression, “take it. If you’re fated to go to the extreme of this trial, you’ll get the answer.”

nAfter he finished speaking, the elder’s figure disappeared, leaving behind the bright golden key that was suspended in the air.

nAfter the old man disappeared, the illusory realm seemed to have lost some sort of support. It began to slowly fade away, preparing to disappear.

nSeeing this, Su Yi gritted his teeth and grabbed the key. Immediately after, a burst of light shot out in all directions.

nThe illusion was shattered.
