In a bright and spacious room.
The sea breeze blows the curtains.
A graceful female Taoist priest was looking Lin Li up and down with a suspicious look: "You really haven't practiced the art of maintaining your youth?"
This female Taoist priest was naturally the Ninth Princess's master, Taoist Qianshui.
Although she is nearly two hundred years old, she still does not look old at all because of her practice of anti-aging techniques. Instead, she has a mature charm.
"certainly."
Lin Li said as a matter of course: "There are probably very few male cultivators who practice the art of maintaining youth."
"Let's not talk about that. I want to ask, what method can be used to obtain the method of forming a pill?"
Taoist Qianshui replied, "There are many ways to form a pill, and the probability of success varies. Among them, the one with the highest probability of forming a pill is naturally the representative of the Hundred Stars Nation, who went to the Sky City with the representatives of the other two ocean empires to participate in the Blood Trial and returned successfully."
"oh?"
Lin Li was very interested, but seemed puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"
The Ninth Princess, who was sitting next to Lin Li, didn't care about what the two said. She held her face and looked at Lin Li with an infatuated look on her face.
The worshiper from the Hailan Kingdom behind the Ninth Princess also perked up and was very interested in this.
"Because, if you successfully return from the Blood Trial, you will have made a great contribution. The Hundred Stars Country will open the Thousand Stars Pavilion to the cultivation techniques needed for Dan Formation for you to choose from. Even the natural materials and treasures needed for Dan Formation will be provided by the Hundred Stars Country."
The Taoist Qianshui replied, "However, in return, the Hundred Stars Nation will provide you with the convenience of forming the elixir. After you have successfully formed the elixir, you will also need to serve as an elder of the Hundred Stars Nation to intimidate the other two ocean empires."
"My life span is almost over. I am determined to win the Blood Trial in a month!"
"If you are interested, I can give you a place to go with me. Of course, after the matter is completed, your Jindan, Baixing Country will also help you."
"Thank you very much!"
Lin Li didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
…
Afterwards, Lin Li, the Ninth Princess, and the attendant stayed in Taoist Qianshui's residence.
During this time, the Ninth Princess plucked up the courage to show her kindness to Lin Li.
However, Lin Li, who was concerned about forming a golden core, did not express anything to her, which made the Ninth Princess very resentful.
One month later.
Lin Lisui, together with Taoist Qianshui and fifty-eight other great perfection foundation-building priests from Baixing Country, boarded the dragon boat and headed for the City in the Sky.
The so-called dragon boat is actually a huge ship pulled by four giant sea snake monsters.
After three months of sailing on the sea, Lin Li and his companions arrived at the junction of the Hundred Stars Kingdom and the other two ocean empires: Ice and Fire Island!
The south of the Ice and Fire Island is blazingly hot, but the north is strangely cold.
In the middle, there is a huge hot air balloon.
"The City in the Sky is right above the Ice and Fire Island!"
After getting on the hot air balloon, Taoist Qianshui said to Lin Li: "Legend has it that the City in the Sky came from the other side of the ocean. In ancient times, powerful people who had reached the level of ascending in broad daylight fought fiercely and tore the space apart, which allowed the city on the other side of the ocean to travel through space and come here. Probably because of this, the City in the Sky contains the laws of space and can float in the air for a long time."
"In the Sky City, there is a legacy of immortal cultivation civilization from the other side of the ocean. This bloody trial was set up by the three major ocean empires in order to obtain the legacy."
"However, due to the restrictions of space laws, only cultivators below the Jindan stage can enter the Sky City. In order to balance the relationship, the three empires have made an agreement that each country can only send 60 cultivators to the Sky City to explore the ruins every year."
"After entering the Sky City, no matter if you are dead or alive, you will be removed by the spatial laws of the Sky City after one month. Therefore, during this month, the 180 cultivators from the three countries will fight in a chaotic battle without rules in the Sky City. Whether you can survive or gain opportunities depends entirely on yourself. After you bring the inheritance you have obtained in the Sky City back to your country, His Majesty the King will also give you corresponding rewards."
As the hot air balloon ascended, Taoist Qianshui explained, "Lin Li, this is my only chance. After entering the Sky City, you must stay with me. This month, not only are there conflicts between the three countries, but there is also competition between the sixty cultivators in our country. Therefore, except for me, everyone else is an enemy! In addition, there are ancient beasts and various dangers in the Sky City, so be careful!"
"good!"
Lin Li nodded.
…
After passing through the clouds, Lin Li finally saw that above the clouds, there was an extremely huge city floating in the air, which was extremely spectacular!
The hot air balloon stopped at the White Jade Square in front of the gate of the Sky City. The monk in charge of driving the hot air balloon said, "Everyone, please get off here. I will come to pick you up in a month. I wish you good luck!"
After Lin Li and Qianshui Taoist got off the boat, they waited for a while, and then two hot air balloon boats arrived.
"The one on the left is the hot air balloon of the Boundless Empire. The one on the right is the hot air balloon of the Holy Empire."
Taoist Qianshui said, "We can't start a war now. Once we enter the Sky City, they will be hostile to us. You are still young and may not have enough experience in fighting in battle. Don't panic when the time comes."
Lin Li nodded with a smile: In fact, what he was most looking forward to was this battle!
Although he has now reached the realm of false elixir, his cultivation cannot be improved.
However, if the magic sword can store a large amount of energy during the battle, it should be helpful when the pill is formed!
…
In front of the White Jade Square, the gate of the Sky City seemed to be built for giants. It was a hundred meters high and extremely wide!
"From now on, the bloody trial of the three empires will officially begin!"
In the air, the Jindan stage monks from the three empires said in unison: "Now, you can enter the Sky City!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one hundred and eighty cultivators who had reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage quickly filed into the gate of the Sky City in front of the White Jade Square, vying with each other for the first place, fearing that they would fall behind and have their opportunity snatched away by others!
…
After crossing the gate, there is a long staircase leading down.
Looking ahead, the city below was full of moss-covered stone buildings, looking like a ruin.
"I have a friend in the Jindan stage who once came to participate in the Blood Trial."
Taoist Qianshui said: "He gave me some advice. Now, follow me. Over there, the possibility of obtaining the inheritance of ancient civilization is greater!"
As he spoke, Taoist Qianshui walked towards the depths of the Sky City with footsteps as fast as the wind...
…
Twenty days later!
The central area of Sky City.
Inside a huge building ruins.
"Very good!"
Taoist Qianshui excitedly picked up a jade slip with incomprehensible ancient characters on it: "This is an ancient inheritance!"
At this moment, a malicious voice sounded behind Lin Li and Qianshui Dao Ren: "Hey, you're lucky, huh?"
"If you know what's best for you, just hand over the jade slip! Maybe, we can spare your lives! Otherwise, hehehe..."
