“Finally freed!”
Emperor Wanjian said with emotion.
The figure in front of him was formed by a trace of consciousness left by Emperor Wanjian. Over the years, he has not been defeated, so this trace of consciousness has always existed here. Although Emperor Wanjian has learned things that his original body may not know through this trace of consciousness, Emperor Wanjian has long been disgusted with this way of existence after being left here by his consciousness for countless years. Being defeated by Yang Qi now is a relief for him.
Yang Qi was not surprised by Wanjian Emperor's words. Wanjian Emperor's body had been dead for who knows how many years, and it was meaningless for a trace of consciousness to continue to exist. After all, this kind of consciousness was sealed most of the time. Although Wanjian Emperor's consciousness existed longer than his body, the time he could really communicate freely was probably not even a month even if countless years were added together.
"Since you have obtained the opportunity left by my future self, I believe that my future self will also give you advice on how to obtain opportunities. I only hope that after you achieve something in the future, you will take care of my lineage." Emperor Wanjian looked at Yang Qi and spoke slowly.
"Juniors, please remember this!"
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Wanjian and nodded solemnly.
Wow~
As Yang Qi finished his words, Emperor Wanjian's figure completely disappeared, leaving only Yang Qi and his shadow clone on the entire stage.
Buzz~
A strange wave spread out, and then a dark green sphere appeared in front of Yang Qi.
"Put a bit of your consciousness into it." A majestic voice sounded in Yang Qi's ears.
The practitioners who pass the test will become the future guardians. Emperor Wanjian defeated his predecessor and became the guardian of the palace in front of him. Yang Qi defeated Emperor Wanjian and naturally became the next guardian!
Wow~
Yang Qi's mind moved, and a wisp of consciousness merged into the sphere.
Whoosh~
As Yang Qi injected his consciousness into the sphere, the sphere immediately turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Then, a passage appeared in front of Yang Qi.
After entering the passage, the scenery in front of Yang Qi changed, and he came to a spacious palace. The whole palace was empty, without any life, and there was no sign of Yuan Jiu and Li Si.
"It seems that Brother Yuan hasn't made it yet." Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
He was able to pass the test so quickly because he had the Life Source Pearl in his body. His first fight was equivalent to two or three fights with other people. In the end, he relied on the Life Source Pearl to defeat the Emperor of Ten Thousand Swords in the second fight. If he didn't have the Life Source Pearl, Yang Qi would probably have to fight four or five times before he could hope to pass the test.
And now, it’s only the second month. If Yuan Jiu or Li Si passed the test, it would be strange!
Just like the previous test, Yuan Jiu and Li Si were still undergoing the test, so the final opportunity did not appear. Yang Qi had no choice but to sit cross-legged in the hall and start practicing, waiting for the end of the test.
"Brother Yang!"
On this day, Yang Qi was practicing when a sudden voice sounded in his ears. When he turned around, he immediately saw Yuan Jiu's figure.
"Brother Yuan, congratulations!"
Yang Qi smiled slightly.
He and Yuan Jiu have a close relationship. Now that Yuan Jiu has passed the final test, he is naturally happy for Yuan Jiu.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother Yang, don't laugh at me. You arrived a month earlier than me."
Yang Qi had been in retreat for a month, but Yuan Jiu passed the final test in the third month. Because he passed the test directly, and seeing Yang Qi in retreat, Yuan Jiu knew that Yang Qi had arrived a month earlier than him.
"It was only with the help of the Source of Life Pearl that I was able to pass the final test in the second month. If I didn't have the Source of Life Pearl, I might not have been able to arrive before you." Yang Qi shook his head slightly.
Without the Life Source Pearl, Yang Qi estimated that it would take him at least four months. Unless he made some huge gains during this period, it would be unlikely that he would be able to pass the final test in three months!
Yuan Jiu does not have a treasure like the Life Source Pearl, but he was able to pass the final test in the third month. This shows his talent and potential.
“Although the Life Source Pearl will be helpful, it ultimately depends on the practitioner himself. Moreover, the tests you and I undergo are different, and the difficulty may not be the same. Brother Yang, there is no need to underestimate yourself.” Yuan Jiu said with a calm smile.
Yang Qi smiled without comment and said no more, then asked about the challenges Yuan Jiu encountered.
Like Yang Qi, Yuan Jiu also encountered a guardian, but the guardian was a swordsman whom Yang Qi had never heard of. After spending a lot of time, Yuan Jiu finally defeated the opponent and passed the test.
In the fourth month, Li Si did not show up!
It was not until the fifth month that the embarrassed Li Si appeared in the hall. Yang Qi and Yuan Jiu were not surprised by Li Si's arrival because they both knew Li Si's trump card.
If he were to break into all twelve palaces, Li Si's chances of success would be slim, but if he just had to defeat one guardian, Li Si's hopes would be great, and it was not surprising.
Wow~
With the arrival of Li Si, a strange wave came from the depths of the hall, and then a figure appeared in front of Yang Qi and the other two.
"puppet?"
Looking at the approaching figure, Yang Qi's eyes couldn't help but focus. This cave has existed for who knows how many years, and there is absolutely no way that there is a guardian at the level of a Martial Emperor. The only possibility is a puppet.
The figure glanced at Yang Qi and the other two, then his gaze fell on Li Si, and he said slowly, "I didn't expect that the three of you passed the master's test, although someone took advantage of it!"
In fact, Yang Qi was also cheating, but the life source bead he got was originally a product of the cave, so it could be considered cheating within the rules. However, the two blood essences that Li Si brought with him could be considered external forces. If Li Si was not good at insect beasts, he would probably be considered cheating in the end.
Hearing the figure's words, Li Si's face suddenly turned pale, but he quickly recovered. No matter whether he had cheated or not, at least he passed the test and got the recognition of the figure, and that was enough!
Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but feel excited. "The opportunity that Master asked me to get is here. As long as I get the thing that Master asked me to get, my mission will be completed, and I will get a huge reward when I return to the sect!"
“But no matter what, since you have come here, even if you have passed the master’s test, you can get the opportunity left by the master.” The figure spoke again.
As the figure finished speaking, not only Li Si, but also Yang Qi and Yuan Jiu began to look forward to it. According to what the figure had said before, the opportunities here were more precious than some of the previous inheritances!
“However, this is the first time that three practitioners have passed the final test at the same time, so when you choose the opportunity, please choose quickly according to the order in which you passed the test.” The figure looked at Yang Qi and the other two and said.
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Si's expression suddenly changed. The opportunities were chosen quickly. Doesn't this mean that the opportunity his master needed might be chosen by Yang Qi or Yuan Jiu first? (To be continued)
