The Challenge Begins

Jiang Yao then looked at the experts from the righteous and demonic paths.

These experts were clearly also looking for something.

That Yin Yuqiong had given all her legacy to Jiang Yao, but the condition was that she had to do everything in her power to protect everything of their Tianchen Sect and prevent these things from being snatched away by cultivators from the Upper Realm.

Jiang Yao had no reason to refuse this condition, so she agreed.

Therefore, she definitely could not tell these people the secret of entering the eighth level, even if her elders were among them.

Jiang Yao began to pretend to search for the entrance everywhere, then quietly approached Su Muyu and the others.

Because Su Muyu and the others were all natives of this Tianchen Continent, they were originally descendants of the Tianchen Sect.

All the people on the Tianchen Continent were descendants of the Tianchen Sect.

Even the Upper Realm had native mortals, and among the descendants of cultivators, there were also mortals.

These mortals were the greatest weakness of cultivators, so they naturally needed a safe place to protect them.

Thus, this Tianchen Small World became the back garden of the Tianchen Sect.

It could both cultivate some talents to add fresh blood to the Tianchen Sect and protect their descendants and the sect’s secrets.

“Mother, Mother,” Jiang Yao called out softly to Su Muyu.

A moment later, Su Muyu suddenly opened her eyes and then glanced at Jiang Yao behind her.

“Yao’er, what’s wrong?”

“Come with me, we’re going to the next level,” Jiang Yao said via divine sense transmission.

Su Muyu had already obtained the legacy of this tomb’s owner, and it was exactly what she urgently needed.

“Alright, it seems you also received the entrustment of the Tianchen Sect,” Su Muyu replied.

“Mm, it should be that everyone who accepts a legacy will receive this news,” Su Muyu glanced at the cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths who were still comprehending around them.

Indeed, it wasn’t just Su Muyu who had obtained a legacy.

And all those who obtained a legacy were told about the entrance and exit of the eighth level.

But while obtaining the legacy, they all promised the experts of the Tianchen Sect that they would keep their secrets.

This secret was actually related to the secrets of the Tianchen Sect.

As for the cultivation techniques, if they couldn’t be hidden, they could tell their elders.

Afterward, Xie Yuyan and Yang Lu were also awakened by Jiang Yao and the others.

After waking up, the few of them began to search for the unmarked tombstone.

They were together because this tombstone would only stay in one place for about a minute.

If they searched separately, they wouldn’t be able to enter together.

They all knew the pattern, so finding it would certainly be much simpler.

The four of them were not the first to find the entrance besides Yan Yun and Yan Lingyun.

The first to find the entrance was a demonic maiden disciple from the Demonic Dao.

This demonic female disciple was skilled in another kind of technique that could transform her into afterimages and scatter in all directions.

After finding the tombstone, her true body immediately appeared in front of it, then gently opened a crack and slipped in as an afterimage.

The experts of the righteous and demonic paths, who were originally monitoring various areas, suddenly saw someone drill into a coffin.

The expert in charge of that area immediately teleported over.

“Drilled in? Could it be that this is the coffin?”

This Divine Venerable expert glanced at the tombstone and then also opened it and drilled in.

And after she drilled in, the tombstone immediately changed its position.

This Burial Realm was where the ancestors of the Tianchen Sect who had died in battle or passed away were buried, so its scale was very large.

The people who came here, excluding the students, were only about a hundred Divine Venerables from both the righteous and demonic paths combined.

The reason these Divine Venerables could reach this level was because of the records they had, which allowed them to arrive so quickly.

If they didn’t know the way, it would be quite good to reach the third level.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Yao and the other three finally discovered that unmarked tombstone.

“Found it, let’s go in,” Jiang Yao opened the tombstone lid and then jumped down first.

Su Muyu and the other two followed closely behind.

These four were very conspicuous and quickly attracted the attention of many experts from the Righteous Dao Alliance’s Dao Palace.

Jiang Yao was the one with the best aptitude among this generation of Dao Palace disciples, so the high-level figures of the Dao Palace were certainly paying extra attention to her.

“Is that Jiang Yao and the others? How did they get in?”

A group of powerful figures from the Dao Palace immediately arrived in front of this coffin.

But by the time they arrived, the coffin had already changed its position.

“They probably know the entrance to the eighth level, but just didn’t tell us in advance?”

The experts of the Dao Palace were immediately displeased.

In their view, Jiang Yao and the others should have told them unconditionally.

“Let’s not worry about this for now, maybe they have their own difficulties.”

Jiang Yao wanted to open the coffin, but no matter how they pushed or attacked, they couldn’t move it in the slightest.

“How is this possible? Why can’t we open it?” someone asked.

“There must be some condition.”

“Quickly observe the other disciples from both the righteous and demonic paths and see if any of them suddenly drill into a coffin,” the Master of the Dao Palace gestured.

As they searched, they really did see a Dao Palace disciple suddenly open a coffin.

Just as he was about to enter, the next moment, the experts of the Dao Palace appeared in front of this disciple in an instant.

They immediately scanned the tombstone.

“An unmarked tombstone? There’s definitely something wrong.”

The Dao Palace disciple’s face stiffened.

“What…”

He didn’t expect his little move to be discovered.

“Cut the crap and get in.”

“We’ll settle the score with you later.”

The Master of the Dao Palace glared at him.

This disciple had no choice but to jump in.

The moment he entered, he disappeared.

The experts of the Dao Palace knew this must be the entrance, so they all drilled in.

More than a dozen experts from the Dao Palace drilled in, which certainly alerted the experts of the righteous and demonic paths.

They also gathered around.

This time, they were smarter and scanned the situation of this tomb from a distance with their divine sense.

“An unmarked tombstone?”

By the time they reached the tomb, the originally unmarked tombstone had suddenly become an inscribed one.

“It’s an unmarked tombstone, find it quickly.”

The people on both sides finally came to a realization.

As long as they knew which tomb was problematic, with their Divine Venerable Realm cultivation, they could find it very quickly.

The place where the Tianchen Treasury emerged this time was too coincidental.

In the past, not so many people had entered the Tianchen Treasury.

Looking at Yan Yun and the others, Yan Yun had already reached the ninth level of the treasury, or rather, the entrance of the ninth level, because to truly enter, one had to challenge the recorded images of the outstanding disciples of the Tianchen Sect from past generations.

Defeating a hundred of them would allow one to enter.

The moment Yan Yun entered, she was separated from Yan Lingyun and Xiao Leng.

She appeared at the entrance of a teleportation gate, but in front of the gate, a person was sitting cross-legged, a white-haired old man.

“Challenger, if you wish to enter the Tianchen Mystic Realm, you must defeat one hundred guardians.”

“Let’s begin,” the white-haired old man said faintly.

After he spoke, before Yan Yun could react, a figure appeared out of thin air and then charged at her without a word.

“Hey? I’m not ready yet,” Yan Yun exclaimed.

The person attacking her was a young man with a wind-attribute sword.

His attack speed was very fast, arriving in an instant.

But Yan Yun easily dodged it and at the same time, flicked out a poison needle, hitting the opponent’s back.

After being hit by the poison needle, the sword-wielding young man immediately disappeared.

“The first one,” the old man reminded.

“So weak?”

“Hey, I can use my poison art here.”

Only then did Yan Yun realize that her power was not restricted here.

As for these guardians, they must have gone from weak to strong.

If every one of them was as powerful as the challenger, then no one would be able to pass.

After the first person was dealt with, a second person immediately appeared.

This second person was a female cultivator with the water attribute.

Her first move was an exquisite water-attribute spell.

But she was still too weak and couldn’t last more than one move against Yan Yun.

And every time she defeated an opponent, Yan Yun felt her state immediately return to its peak.

Otherwise, fighting a hundred matches in a row would probably be exhausting.

Five minutes later, Yan Yun had already defeated ten people.

But by the time she reached the tenth person, the opponent’s combat power had clearly risen a level.

Wanting to defeat the opponent in a few moves was simply impossible.

However, it was still within a controllable range.

She defeated thirty opponents and also began to feel the pressure.

Because the strength of these opponents had clearly reached the conventional Spirit Transformation Realm.

The test here should be adjusted according to the challenger’s actual realm.

Otherwise, if they were all Divine Venerables, then Yan Yun wouldn’t be able to win a single match.

But that was not the case on Yan Yun’s side.

The guardians she fought were all at the Divine Mark Realm from the start.

After thirty matches, Divine Venerables had already appeared.

So the commotion of the battles here was quite exciting.

And Yan Lingyun here also recovered her peak combat power.

This place should be judged based on the opponent’s cultivation at their peak.

Yan Lingyun at her peak was a five-realm great Divine Venerable, and it was only a matter of time before she reached the sixth-realm heaven-tier Divine Venerable.

“Hahahaha, it’s been a long time since I’ve experienced this feeling.”

“Come on, come on, let me destroy you all once more,” Yan Lingyun laughed loudly at the guardians.

These guardians were of all kinds, and there were even demonic beasts.

As for the other cultivators who had entered this level, they were all shocked by this Spacetime Realm.

This was definitely not a world that could be constructed in the lower realm.

After being shocked for a while, Jiang Yao and the others also went to the entrance of the ninth level.

The opportunities on this level, although good, were certainly not as good as those on the ninth level.

It wouldn’t be too late for them to come back and seize the treasures after they had passed the ninth level.

Those who didn’t know the entrance to the ninth level could only stay on this eighth level.

“What a profound world, just like the real one.”

“The Tianchen Sect, it really is the work of the Tianchen Sect.”

“We’ve finally found the eighth level.”

“The secrets from before the Upper Realm are hidden somewhere in this Spacetime Realm.”

“Let’s split up and search,” the experts of the Righteous Dao Alliance said after entering, and immediately dispersed.

It was about the same on the Demonic Dao’s side.

But the Demonic Dao’s side soon got into trouble.

They thought this place was just an illusion and ran around recklessly, and were soon stopped by the Tianchen Sect cultivators here.

A fight broke out.

And the result was that they couldn’t possibly defeat the cultivators of the Upper Realm and were captured in a few moves.

Some were even killed on the spot.

Dying here meant no revival.

After realizing that this place was almost the same as the real world, these big shots from both the righteous and demonic paths finally became much more behaved.

Here, one had to follow the rules.

As long as they acted according to the rules, they would not be erased.
