When Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun walked out of the hall, another person who had passed the trial walked out of another hall. Currently, there were eight people, including Duan Ling Tian, in the room.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun walked out, a few people probed them with their Divine Consciousness.
Indeed, hes less than 100 years old!
Both of them are younger than 100 years old! Heavens! Who are they? Theyre already so powerful at this age. How insanely strong would they be in the future?
Duan Ling Tian, Ling Jue Yun... As long as both of them dont die an untimely death, theyll definitely be famous in the Profound Nether Mansion in the future!
With their talent and comprehension skills, once they grow stronger, theyll definitely leave the Profound Nether Mansion and dominate the Southern Heaven Territory!
Younger than 100 years old? When the participant who had just passed his trial heard the discussion in his surroundings, he instinctively turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun. Indeed, he confirmed the duo was truly less than 100 years old after investigating with his Divine Consciousness. His discovery made him feel dejected. Theyre less than 100 years old but they managed to enter the Celestial Lord Temple and passed the difficult trial?
In the past, this young man had thought of himself as a genius. However, in front of this duo, he really could not be regarded as a genius at all. He was older than 300 years old, and the duo was not even 100 years old. And yet, they were not weaker than him. Since these people were here, he knew they had all passed the trial. This meant that they were all peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had comprehended one profundity of a law, at least.
At this moment, Xue Jing Yu looked around his surroundings. When he saw no entrance or passage, he asked in confusion, What do we do next? Do we just stay here and wait?
With these words, everyones attention shifted away from Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun, and they began to survey their surroundings.
I think... Well, perhaps, there has to be a certain number of people here before we can progress? a middle-aged man speculated out loud.
That makes sense.
Several other people agreed.
We have eight people now. There are two more people who arent here. They should be here soon.
Only one person has appeared, replacing one of the participants who had died during the trial... No one has appeared in the other halls since.
Since there are ten halls... Im guessing well only be able to proceed once there are ten people here.
The people discussed among themselves as they watched the remaining two participants who were still undergoing the trial. Their trials were coming to end.
They seem quite strong so theyll probably be able to easily pass the trial.
Thats not surprising at all. Someone who managed to obtain ten points has to be somewhat strong.
Not necessarily. Some people are unlucky, and some managed to accumulate ten points because they had help.
Youre talking about the genius, Hong Tao, from the Compassionate Cloud Sect, right? Hes, indeed, unlucky. He could be standing here with us now, but he died because he helped another person.
He didnt know that such a thing would happen, after all. In fact, none of us knew beforehand... It seems like we wont be able to leave the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm with memories of the Celestial Lord Temple.
Hmph! If he was as strong as Duan Ling Tian, would he have died?
As a few people discussed among themselves, their eyes drifted back to Duan Ling Tian again.
Duan Ling Tian stood motionlessly with his eyes closed.
Ling Jue Yun who was standing not far away looked at Duan Ling Tian as well. His cold expression seemed to thaw when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
These two people... Xue Jing Yu, who was standing at the side, was slightly confused when he saw the changes in Ling Jue Yuns expression. Before the duo entered the hall, he was certain that Ling Jue Yun was rather indifferent when looking at Duan Ling Tian. However, at this moment, Ling Jue Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian as though Duan Ling Tian was a friend.
What did they talk about inside? Since Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun had communicated using Voice Transmission, Xue Jing Yu was, naturally, not privy to their conversation. When Duan Ling Tian came out from the hall, his expression had remained indifferent. On the contrary, a faint smile could be seen on Ling Jue Yuns face. Coupled with the changes in Ling Jue Yuns expression now, Xue Jing Yu could not help but feel curious.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian who stood with his eyes closed might seem like he was resting. However, he was, in fact, conversing with Huanger, the soul artifact he had recently acquired. What artifact were you a soul of before this?
A prominent artifact called the Divine Phoenix Glazed Sword, Huanger replied.
You were a Sword Soul as well in the past? the Chaos Divine Earth interjected, surprised. If you were the soul of a prominent divine sword before, itd be easier for you to become the soul of the sword in this kids body. Moreover, youd be more in sync with the sword as well.
Huanger said, Theres one more thing you might not know... The Divine Phoenix Glazed Sword and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword were forged by the same powerhouse. Plus, they were refined one after another. The two stayed together for a long time. Moreover, the sword soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and I were born almost at the same time. I used to address the former soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword as elder sister. However, even if our host possessed another Devata Artifact, Id still make the same decision I did earlier. Based on her words, it could be seen she had a close relationship with the former soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
You know the original soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword? Do you know whats the relationship between the original owner of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and third uncle then? Duan Ling Tian asked.
Prominent artifacts are rare even in the Realm of Gods... In the Divine Offering Land, all prominent artifacts are famous, and their owners are also powerful figures, Huanger replied, With how famous the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword was in the past, almost everyone knew its owner. As for the relationship between the original owner of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and Xia Jie, youll have to ask Xia Jie... I cant tell you nor should I tell you about it... She sighed after she finished speaking.
Upon hearing Huangers sigh, Duan Ling Tian speculated that the original owner of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and Xia Jie must have had an unusual relationship.
You said that the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword is a prominent artifact... So, artifacts are also divided into primitive, mediocre, and prominent grades? Duan Ling Tian asked. He only knew that Devata Artifacts were superior to Celestial Weapons. Moreover, they even possessed artifact souls. However, he did not know that there were different grades of Devata Artifacts.
Yes, Huanger said, Artifacts are divided into primitive artifacts, mediocre artifacts, and prominent artifacts.
Are there artifacts superior to prominent artifacts? Duan Ling Tian asked.
No, Huanger replied, The prominent artifacts are the pinnacle of artifacts. Only the strongest and most skilled are capable of forging them. Not only does one have to be skilled, the materials needed to forge prominent artifacts, the forging environment, and the forging time have strict requirements as well.
Duan Ling Tian gained a deeper understanding of prominent artifacts after listening to Huangers words. He also learned more about mediocre artifacts and primitive artifacts from her.
As it turns out, most of the Heavenly Emperors of Devata Realms only possess primitive artifacts. Very few possess mediocre artifacts, let alone prominent artifacts. Artifacts are only divided into three grades unlike Celestial Weapons that are divided into primitive, mediocre, and prominent grades before being further divided into Duke Grade, King Grade, Royal Grade, and Emperor Grade! Moreover, only Devata Artifacts can give birth to artifact souls... As for Celestial Weapons, only Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons can be forcibly injected with life to produce an artifact spirit. The difference between artifact souls and artifact spirits lies not only in their name. The former is born while the latter is not. The former is, naturally, superior to the latter. Thinking of this, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. He was once again reminded of the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon that he once owned, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. There was an extraneous artifact spirit forcibly imprisoned in the pagoda; it was a three-legged golden crow called Elder Huo.
Although the power of Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword is comparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon if I wield it with my current strength, it should still be weaker than an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon with an extraneous artifact spirit! Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons with extraneous artifact spirits are far more powerful than Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons without extraneous artifact spirits. Duan Ling Tian also learned that there were differences in strength between Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons as well.
At this moment, a commotion broke out, causing Duan Ling Tian to open his eyes.
They came out!
They are out!
Duan Ling Tian saw two people coming out from the two halls.
Finally, ten people were gathered in the room.
Soon after, the voice that Duan Ling Tian suspected belonged to the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord rang again. Congratulations, you passed the first trial in the Celestial Lord Temple. Next, three purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons nurtured by Celestial Lords will appear. As to who will obtain them, its up to you to decide.
