As time passed, the luster gradually became denser and turned into an emerald color. The changes were still ongoing.
The red light on the stone pillar in front of him was also slowly climbing up, passing the first mark and approaching the second one.
"Su Lie, what exactly is going on?"
Not far away from Su Lie, Yu Ling asked Su Lie in a huff as she struggled to move her legs.
"Senior sister, don't move, this should be a type of test."
Su Lie guessed.
After looking at the situation of the four people in front of him, he had a vague feeling that the stone platform beneath his feet was examining their situation.
He was sure that the black stone pillar in front of him was testing their Origin Energy cultivation. As for the formation beneath their feet, Su Lie had a feeling that it was testing their age. However, Su Lie did not dare to be sure.
The first four had all reached the Revealing Astral Realm, which was the fourth realm on the path of cultivation, so they stopped at the fourth realm, but there were ten realms on the path of cultivation?
Su Lie was slightly surprised. He knew that there were even stronger cultivators than the two of them, but he did not know that there were actually so many different realms.
"Test?"
Yu Ling was surprised and asked, "How do I pass?"
"I don't know!"
Su Lie shook his head.
This was also what he was worried about. He did not know how he could be considered to have reached the test standard, so he was not confident.
However, judging from the situation of the four people in front of him, it should be that the younger one is, the higher one's cultivation level will be, and the more advantageous it is for them.
Just as they were talking, the light in the array formation beneath Su Lie's feet had already congealed to a dark green color. The red light on the stone pillar in front of him had climbed up to the fourth scale and stopped there.
Su Lie's heart immediately tightened. He held his breath slightly and stared unblinkingly at the stone platform beneath his feet.
"Buzz …"
The stone platform beneath his feet began to slightly shake. Su Lie's heart also began to hover.
Whether he lived or died depended on this moment.
The stone platform was like a small boat docked in the void. After slightly swaying, it began … Rising!
"Phew …"
Su Lie could not help but let out a long breath. His tense mind instantly relaxed.
He passed!
He turned his head slightly to look at Yu Ling, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.
In terms of age, Yu Ling had an absolute advantage, but she was still a step away from Revealing Astral Realm. Her cultivation was weaker by a level, and she didn't know if she could pass the test.
"Su Lie, wait for me …"
Yu Ling couldn't help but say anxiously as she watched Su Lie start to ascend as well.
It was pitch black in all directions. There was not a single person around. Yu Ling was slightly afraid as the space below them was pitch-black.
He even wanted to wait for Yu Ling. If possible, he even wanted to bring Yu Ling up with him, but the stone platform under his feet was extremely tyrannical and he simply did not have the opportunity to make the decision.
"Senior Sister, it will be done in a moment!"
Su Lie could only console her.
Actually, the two of them weren't that far apart from each other when they came in. Yu Ling was indeed fast, and Su Lie had only gone up about twenty to thirty feet. The stone platform beneath Yu Ling's feet also moved.
Rising!
Yu Ling had also passed the test.
"Great!"
The little girl instantly became happy.
Su Lie smiled slightly and was considered completely relieved. As the stone platform rose up, he raised his head slightly and looked towards the palace above.
The palace was too big to be seen from below, and only a corner of the palace roof could be seen.
The two people in front of him had already disappeared. They should have already ascended into the palace. Su Lie's heart was also somewhat anxious.
Just by looking at the palace, one could tell that there were many good things in it. If they were left behind, what good things would they be able to get?
"It's only the first trial, and two Illustrious Star experts have already been eliminated. If we want to obtain the treasures, it definitely won't be that easy. We definitely still have a chance."
Su Lie comforted himself in his heart, but he wished he could fly up right now.
Unfortunately, no matter how anxious he was, the stone platform continued to slowly rise.
After a full ten minutes, the stone platform slowly rose to the top of the palace and leaned on the plaza in front of the palace.
"Hmm? "What's going on?"
Su Lie's eyes swept across and saw that cyan robed man and the Revealing Astral Realm Ranker arrived a step earlier than him. His face could not help but reveal a trace of a strange expression.
The two of them walked in the plaza and distanced themselves from each other. It was as if they were on guard against each other.
Internal conflict?
But why?
Su Lie guessed that he must have missed something.
Furthermore, the two of them were not only on guard against each other, they seemed to have used all of their strength to advance towards the open palace gate, but their speed was extremely slow, not like powerful Revealing Astral Realm Rankers, but like an old man who was in a weakened state. Every step he took was unstable and it was very slow.
This plaza still had its enigmas!
Su Lie's heart skipped a beat. After carefully observing, he noticed that there was a layer of sparkling and translucent Supreme Qi enveloping the entire plaza. The deeper one went, the darker the color became.
"Even with the True Divine Spirit enveloping them, their speed shouldn't be this slow, right?"
Su Lie had doubts in his heart.
The light under his feet faded away from the stone platform. Su Lie discovered that he could move his feet again. He tried taking a step forward and his expression instantly changed.
The moment his feet landed on the square, an aura spread out from his feet and spread throughout his entire body along his legs. It was extremely fast, and Su Lie did not even have the time to react before that aura already spread out from his meridians. In an instant, it was as if lead was poured into his meridians, causing his Origin Energy to be unable to circulate, and his body was extremely heavy.
His Origin Energy cultivation was completely sealed.
"Su Lie, why are you still in a daze? Let's hurry up and chase after those two fellows!"
When Yu Ling stepped onto the stage, the light on her stone platform scattered, and she immediately jumped off.
"Be careful …"
Before Su Lie could even warn her, she had already landed on the plaza.
As expected, the little girl was the same as him. Her expression changed, and she looked a little panicked.
"What is this?"
The little girl was extremely angry.
Su Lie shook his head slightly and said: "Let's go. The spirit energy should only be temporarily sealed. There should be a way to undo it."
Yu Ling nodded and walked forward.
"There's something wrong with those two fellows. After they came up, they must have obtained some treasure. Since the Yuan Power here has been sealed, the two of us have a complete chance of winning."
Su Lie stared at the back of the two in front of him and said with a smile.
"Treasures?"
Yu Ling's eyes immediately lit up as she urged, "Then what are we waiting for!"
The little girl's figure moved and she started to run.
In any case, there were only four of them here, regardless of whether the spirit energy was sealed or not, they were not a match for him. Furthermore, they were not benevolent people, even Su Lie did not feel the slightest burden in his heart when he stole their treasures.
But as they gradually went deeper into the plaza, Su Lie finally understood why the two people in front of him were so slow.
The pressure on their bodies continued to increase. They had only moved forward about twenty to thirty feet when Su Lie felt as if his body was being pressed down by several hundred kilograms.
His body refining stage had already been raised to the Ice Body Jade Bone Realm. Even if he sealed his elemental energy, just the strength of his physical body would be several tens of thousands of pounds, and several hundred pounds wouldn't be a problem for him.
The two people's eyes lit up as they chased at high speed. The two people in front also felt it and slightly turned their heads to look behind them. However, the two people did not panic at all. In their eyes, there was even a trace of ridicule.
Su Lie was somewhat surprised, but Yu Ling ignored him and continued to chase.
After a short moment, Su Lie understood why they were so calm. It was because the pressure was increasing too quickly.
With almost every inch they went in, the pressure on their bodies increased by a level. After they ran for over a hundred feet, Su Lie could not take it anymore and could only stride forward, unable to run anymore.
The pressure was too great.
Presently, the pressure on his body had increased to at least 20,000 to 30,000 pounds.
"Su Lie, hurry up!"
Yu Ling urged from the front.
Su Lie's expression couldn't help but change for a moment. He turned his head to look at Yu Ling, only to find that Yu Ling was still running as fast as she could as if she still had some energy left.
Could it be that this pressure came from a person's cultivation base?
Su Lie looked at Yu Ling's flying figure and thought to himself. Otherwise, the two of them would both be at the Ice Muscle Jade Bone Realm. Even if Yu Ling was slightly stronger than him, there was no reason for her to be so relaxed.
"Senior Sister, go and stop them first, I'll be right there!"
Su Lie could only ask.
"If I get it, it's mine."
Yu Ling snorted. She thought Su Lie was trying to be lazy.
When the two people at the front heard the voice behind them, they once again turned their heads to look behind them, and their expressions instantly changed.
Yu Ling practically did not stop her footsteps as she ran after them. Although Su Lie was slower, he still ran with large strides.
"How is this possible? How can their bodies be this strong?"
The two of them were shocked, while cyan robed man revealed a trace of anxiety on his face.
Although they were a lot faster, Su Lie and Yu Ling's speed was too fast. They weren't far from each other anymore. Moreover, Yu Ling could still run, only a few meters away.
They were only a few zhang away, yet they were all struggling to make it through. However, to Yu Ling, it did not seem difficult at all. After a short jog, they were almost at their backs.
"The treasure is on him, don't look for me!"
The expert at the third level of the True Divine Realm shouted.
The pressure on their bodies was too great. In this sort of situation, they couldn't even stand properly. If they were to fight head on, they would be at a disadvantage. That person truly did not want to suffer an unexpected disaster.
He could already tell that with Yu Ling's speed, it wouldn't be difficult for her to catch up to them.
"If you're wearing blue and leave behind the treasures, I won't beat you up."
Yu Ling giggled.
Black lines appeared on Su Lie's forehead. Would he be too straightforward this time?
"Don't go too far!"
It was obvious that cyan robed man did not want to hand over the treasure that he had just obtained.
