Hearing the old man's words, Lang Xiaoyao showed an unwilling expression on his face.
However, family rules are rules, and he cannot violate them at will, so he can only nod helplessly.
Then the old man took Ye Li into the Palace of the Sea.
The interior of the Sea Palace is very spacious. Ye Li initially thought that the trial place was inside the stone palace. However, after entering, he found that there was nothing here, only a passage leading to the underground.
The old man led Ye Li to the front of the passage, and Ye Li asked, "Senior, is the trial site underground?"
As the old man walked away, he turned his head and said to Ye Li: "Don't call me senior. I can see that you and Xiaoyao are good friends. Just call me Seventh Grandpa like him.
In fact, the trial ground is not underground, but on the bottom of the sea. We built a trial ground deep under the sea."
Hearing the old man's words, Ye Li was slightly stunned and said, "It's actually on the bottom of the sea, so this project should be very difficult!!!"
The old man nodded and said, "Of course it is very strenuous, but there is nothing we can do. The Phantom Mirage originally lives in the deep sea, and it will not survive long on the shore or in shallow water.
In order to ensure its survival, we had no choice but to build a trial field on the seabed and keep the Phantom Mirage there."
Hearing the old man's words, Ye Li nodded with understanding.
Following the old man, Ye Li quickly went down deep into the underground, and finally after passing through a stone door, they came to a large trial field.
Ye Li could feel strong fluctuations of water-based spiritual energy from the stone ceiling above his head. It was obvious that the seabed was just outside the stone wall above his head.
The stone walls surrounding the trial field are all engraved with rune formations. It is obvious that these formations are built to protect this training room.
After all, those who come here to take part in the trial are all at the Condensation Stage or above. If they accidentally break the surrounding stone walls, then this trial field will immediately be submerged by sea water.
Looking around, Ye Li did not see the Phantom Mirage, so he asked curiously: "Grandpa Qi, isn't the Phantom Mirage here?"
The old man shook his head and said, "The Phantom Mirage is in the sea outside the stone wall above your head. We have trapped it there using a special method, and we can allow it to sense the presence of the trial participants.
This Phantom Mirage is not stupid. It can gain a lot of benefits by using its abilities occasionally to help us, so it is happy to help."
After the old man finished speaking, he casually threw out a rune, which was imprinted on the stone wall above his head.
In an instant, all the rune formations on the surrounding stone walls were activated, and thick spiritual barriers condensed around the trial field, protecting the stone walls.
Then the old man walked to a nearby corner and stood still, saying: "Ye Li, if you are ready, tell me and I will let the Phantom Mirage activate its special power immediately."
Ye Li looked around and said, "Senior, aren't you afraid that the Phantom Mirage will copy your power as well?"
The old man smiled and shook his head, saying: "It is only at the Divine Spirit Stage, how can it be qualified to copy my power.
It can only copy powers that are weaker than it, or at most of the same level as it, but it cannot copy powers that are stronger than it."
The old man's answer made Ye Li feel relieved.
He didn't want an old man's phantom to appear in the middle of a fight. The old man could see his cultivation level clearly and knew that he was at least a master in the Divine Appearance Stage and could kill him with just one finger. He didn't want to try that.
Ye Li looked around and said to the old man without hesitation: "Grandpa Qi, I'm ready. You can let the Phantom Mirage release its power."
Hearing Ye Li's words, the old man smiled and nodded. A few runes flew out and touched the stone wall above his head.
Suddenly, a very strange and bizarre force came out from the stone wall on the top and swept over Ye Li.
Ye Li immediately felt as if he was stripped naked and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Just as this feeling disappeared, a phantom appeared not far in front of him.
This phantom was formed by the gathering of different spiritual energies and soon became solid, taking on Ye Li's current appearance.
The moment Ye Li saw the phantom, the Thunder Ring under his feet moved, a flash of lightning passed, and his figure rushed in front of the phantom at lightning speed.
Without thinking too much, Ye Li raised his hand and punched, hitting him hard at the fastest speed.
The phantom didn't seem to be confused by Ye Li's speed. He also raised his hand and punched Ye Li hard.
Ye Li’s punch was extremely powerful, and his attack power had also reached the early stage of the Concentration Stage. The air was blown apart by the punch.
However, this punch did not achieve any effect. Ye Li and the phantom's punches collided fiercely, and a force exploded, making Ye Li's clothes rustle.
His fist was caught by the phantom forcefully. After that, Ye Li did not use any strength. He just focused on attacking the phantom with his fists. The Thunder Ring under his feet was activated at an astonishing speed.
However, what he didn't expect was that the phantom's movements were not slower than his at all. There was also a flash of lightning wrapped around the phantom's feet, and he actually used the thunder power of the Thunder Ring.
This discovery made Ye Li not plan to use Liuyanyan Suanlu anymore, because it was conceivable that once he used Liuyanyan Suanlu, the opponent would copy this power and release the same Sun-Swallowing Incarnation.
The more power he releases, the stronger the counterattack he will face. Ye Li does not intend to release too much power before figuring out the opponent's situation.
After fighting with the phantom for a while, Ye Li flicked the talisman in his hand, and the Eight Thunder Locks instantly appeared in his hand. Eight thunder chains strangled the phantom.
The phantom did not make any movement to release the talisman, but eight thunder chains automatically appeared on his hands and entangled with Ye Li's chains.
The powerful force of thunder collided with each other in the air, electric arcs shot out, and made the air crackle.
After a struggle, the talisman in Ye Li's hand rose again, and the nine-color divine armor talisman with five layers of nine characters and nine strokes appeared in his hand.
A talisman woven from nine kinds of power appeared and turned into a set of armor that covered Ye Li's body.
The reason why Ye Li used this talisman was because he wanted to try whether this Phantom Mirage also possessed the ability to use nine kinds of attribute powers at the same time.
The phantom did not hesitate at all. Nine kinds of spiritual energy appeared around it and soon a nine-colored divine armor condensed around the phantom.
Ye Li was stunned and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because he didn't expect that the Phantom Mirage could even imitate this divine talisman.
But on second thought, he felt it was normal. After all, his talisman was far from reaching the level of a divine talisman. It was only an incomplete talisman. It was not surprising that the Phantom Mirage could imitate it.
