"It turns out that this is all a test left by Lord Death. So much time has passed inside, but only half an hour has passed outside. Why am I so stupid!"
Outside the Palace of Death, Qiao Hua was in a state of despair and filled with regret.
He knew he had missed a big opportunity.
"Hua'er, what happened to you inside?" Looking at Qiao Hua's face, Qiao Hua's uncle asked worriedly.
"Uncle, I..." Qiao Hua opened his mouth, his face turned red, but he couldn't say anything because he had no face to say it and felt ashamed!
"Boy, what did you encounter inside?" came a majestic voice.
Feng Kai's uncle and a group of powerful men from aristocratic families also descended one after another and came to Qiao Hua.
Facing this half-step Martial Master level super strong man, as well as a group of masters from aristocratic families, Qiao Hua smiled bitterly, could only blush, and told everything he encountered inside.
"Cold, dark, boundless, there is no time yet... Could this be the Venerable's mind space?" After listening to Qiao Hua's narration, a strong man exclaimed on the spot.
"No way, if it's the Venerable's mind space, who can get through it?" Qiao Hua's uncle said in shock.
Qiao Hua suddenly asked curiously: "Uncle, what is the Venerable's mind space?"
Qiao Hua's uncle heard this and said solemnly: "A strong man in the realm of martial arts has reached the state of great perfection in his spiritual thoughts. In one sentence, it is 'a thought creates a world'. The dark world you have fallen into is actually A trace of thought left by Lord Death..."
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but shut his mouth and did not continue talking.
"Why don't you say anything? Are you afraid of offending your nephew?" Feng Kai's uncle took over the conversation with a hint of ridicule, which made Qiao Hua's uncle suddenly embarrassed.
"Senior, please give me some advice?" Qiao Hua said solemnly. Although he felt very uncomfortable, he also wanted to know the secret of respecting space.
After giving Qiao Hua a disdainful look, Feng Kai's great-uncle continued: "The Lord of Death is already dead, and once the thoughts he left behind are unsealed, they will not last long, no more than three hours at most. In other words, , if you persist for another two and a half hours, you will pass the test."
"Sure enough..." Upon hearing this, Qiao Hua immediately lowered his head in shame, with a look of regret on his face.
This test is not dangerous at all, it just tests a person's patience, will, and courage to face despair.
People with a cowardly character cannot persevere until the end.
"Hua'er, look at it, isn't it just a Death Temple? When you join the five major temples in the future, there will be many opportunities waiting for you!" Qiao Hua's uncle comforted him.
When Feng Kai's uncle heard this, he curled his lips in disdain. With this kind of qualifications and this kind of character, let alone being unable to enter the five major temples, even if he did, he would still be a waste.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed. They all looked at Qiao Hua sympathetically, and then looked at the Palace of Death with worried faces. They were worried that their own genius would be unable to bear it and give up.
At this time, after Qiao Hua gave up the test and left the Palace of Death, an old voice sounded throughout the dark space.
"In the boundless darkness, the endless abyss, only a strong heart can find the way to light. Youngsters, if you choose to give up, there is still a way to survive, otherwise you will sink into this dark abyss of despair forever!"
Lord Death's voice rang in everyone's ears, like the lament of God, which shocked everyone.
It was the first time in more than two years that they heard the sound of this dark abyss.
Suddenly, all the young heroes in the royal city hesitated.
Should you listen to this voice and choose to give up, or continue to wait in the darkness
"Give up, for the sake of the Emperor's Hegemony!" A young hero sighed, and he chose to give up. He felt that instead of waiting anxiously here, it would be better to participate in the Emperor's Hegemony. If you have the opportunity to enter the Land of Conferred Gods, you will have many more opportunities than the Palace of Death, so there is no need to waste your time here.
"The battle for hegemony is about to begin. If we don't leave, it will be too late!"
"I want to participate in the Emperor's Contest!"
"We can't waste it any longer."
After a while, some people who were impatient or wanted to participate in the King's Contest chose to give up.
Outside the Death Hall, things suddenly became lively, and young heroes retreated one after another.
And when they listened to the explanations of the powerful men from the aristocratic families, they were all stunned. It took a while for them to react, and they couldn't help but beat their chests. Like Qiao Hua, all of them had regrets and shame on their faces.
"It's so..."
"If I keep persisting, I can pass the test. I won't give in!"
"Damn Lord Death, everyone is dead, but you still leave this kind of test!"
The faces of all the young heroes were filled with unwillingness, even Lord Death was hated by them.
Such a non-dangerous test actually scared them away. They felt extremely ashamed, but more regretful.
However, at this time, they also hope that more people will come out so that they can be ashamed with them. This is completely jealous.
…
Inside the Death Hall.
Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes, looked at the dark nothingness, and suddenly smiled.
"Since Lord Death has already set up a plan not to allow powerful people above the Martial Emperor to enter, and then arranges such a test, isn't this inconsistent? Because warriors below the Martial Emperor cannot break this dark world at all."
"There is only one reason for Lord Death to do this, and that is that this test is time-limited."
"When the time comes, you will naturally be able to pass the test, and those who choose to give up are destined to be expelled from the palace."
Ye Tian showed a confident smile. He had some doubts at first, but when he heard the voice of Lord Death, everything suddenly became clear.
This test is to test the warrior's patience, firm will, and courage to face despair.
Only with a truly strong heart can one pass this test.
"I wonder how many people have been eliminated in this level?" Ye Tian smiled slightly, then closed his eyes and began to practice the ten Tai Chi postures.
Although there is no spiritual energy here, no matter how long you practice, you will not be able to increase your cultivation level. However, after staying here for a few years, only an hour has passed outside. It is a good place to practice martial arts and can help warriors save a lot of time.
"I don't know what to do with the treasures of the Palace of Death, but the time saved here is already priceless to me." Ye Tian thought to himself.
Duan Tianxiang once told him that the reason why some geniuses cannot be promoted to Martial God is because they lack time.
But this place gave Ye Tian a lot of extra time. It was definitely a treasure place for him.
The same is true for other geniuses. Those who choose to stay are now starting to retreat.
For a moment, everyone was extremely surprised. They found that this was really a good place for retreat and practice. Because there was no sound or anything, it was easier for them to calm down and immerse themselves in the world of martial arts.
"With this opportunity, even if I don't get the treasure from the Palace of Death, I will have no regrets!"
This is a common thought among all.
Time continues to pass, passing quickly outside, but very slowly inside.
One year... two years... five years... ten years...
Within the first three years, more than half of the young heroes chose to give up. Those who remained inside, besides not caring about the emperor's struggle for hegemony, were all gambling on the treasures left by Lord Death.
At this point, the battle for hegemony had already begun, and even if it was over, there was no need for them to go out.
They are all strong men at the Martial Emperor level, and those who remain are geniuses, so at this time, no one chooses to give up.
Everyone is practicing in seclusion. Although their cultivation level has not increased, their own strength has improved a lot.
"Haha, I finally mastered this heaven-level martial arts. My strength has increased by at least 30%!" A young strong man laughed, and he slapped his palm into the void. The powerful force exploded in the air continuously.
"Well... I have already practiced the Dragon Transformation Technique to the seventh level. Now that I have transformed into a dragon, I should be able to defeat Wang Kui." Jin Taishan opened his eyes, and two golden beams of light shot out from his eyes. .
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I failed this test, but it allowed me to increase the power of the human sword seal a lot. The human sword seal I am performing now should be comparable to the human sword seal used by my elder brother, and I can also practice it now The Heavenly Sword is sealed." In the darkness, Duan Yun suddenly opened his eyes and shouted excitedly.
In fact, his talent has not been bad all along, but he has not practiced seriously and is too lazy to retreat. This has led to the slow progress of the human sword seal.
However, for more than ten years, he has been in seclusion peacefully, and finally cultivated the human sword seal to an extremely high level, which is more powerful than the elders in the human sword sect.
This was a qualitative change for Duanyun, and this benefit alone made his trip worthwhile.
Of course, not only a few of them have made progress, but Feng Kai, Ma Yunfei, and other remaining geniuses have also made progress.
Among them, Ye Tian has made the greatest progress.
Because Ye Tian possesses several supreme martial arts skills, he used to be in a hurry and didn't have much time to practice. But now that he has had ten years, he can finally practice hard and improve his several powerful martial arts skills a lot.
The first was Tai Chi Ten Postures. Ye Tian broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the sixth posture, which improved his defense to a higher level.
In addition, the Blood Demon Immortality Technique taught to him by the Blood Demon Sword Saint has also been practiced to the sixth level. Although the strength has improved slightly, the foundation is more solid and the foundation is stronger.
"As long as I take the ten Tai Chi moves one step further and reach the seventh form, my Tai Chi body will be able to weaken the enemy's attack power by 50%." Ye Tian was secretly looking forward to it.
Think about it, the enemy's power to attack him was suddenly weakened by half, and then there was the defense of the Thunder God Armor and the Nine-Revolution Battle Body. Ye Tian was simply the reincarnation of the Black Tortoise beast, and his defense was absolutely invincible at the same level.
The extra ten years were simply too precious for Ye Tian.
Rumble…
Suddenly, this dark space shook, and then in the shocked eyes of everyone, a huge space crack appeared, and more and more cracks opened.
As if the glass had been shattered, the dark space in front of him was completely shattered.
"Is the time finally here?" Ye Tian stood up, with a confident smile on his lips. The result was exactly as he had guessed.
