"Why does it hurt so much?" Chongming exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course it hurts to temper your bones." Wu Ying didn't feel any particular pain, perhaps because he had tempered his bones once before.

The first time it tempered its bones, the pain was extremely excruciating.

Meanwhile, Chongming, grimacing, slowly sat down in the divine pool. Every movement seemed extremely difficult, as if he were carrying a heavy burden. His once handsome face was twisted in pain, his expression so ferocious it made anyone feel pity.

Despite this, Chongming still endured the pain and asked Wu Ying with trembling lips, "Does the more pain it causes, the more effective it is?"

Wu Ying thought for a moment and replied, "Yes and no."

Seeing the puzzled looks on Chongming's faces, Wu Ying continued to explain, "The degree of pain caused by bone tempering does correlate to its effectiveness. Generally speaking, the more intense the pain, the deeper the bones are undergoing tempering and reshaping, potentially leading to greater strength. But this doesn't mean more pain is necessarily better. In fact, if a living being is strong enough, their body will be more adaptable to bone tempering, and thus the pain they experience will be relatively less. Conversely, if they are weaker, they will inevitably endure more pain during the bone tempering process."

After hearing what Wu Ying said, Chongming gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "It doesn't hurt at all!"

Wu Ying snorted.

“This is just the beginning.”

Chongming's eyes widened.

Just the beginning?!

At this time, Jiu Zhuan was already swimming in the Divine Pool, looking particularly comfortable. He asked curiously, "Why can't I feel any pain?"

"Because you have no bones." Wu Ying glanced at him.

Ji frowned, "Me neither, but it hurts."

When Wu Ying heard this, he looked at Ji for a few times, thought for a moment and said, "Then I don't know."

In fact, it secretly wondered, how could this Nine Revolutions Demon Suppression Tower be just an ordinary thing?!

The Nine Revolutions Demon Suppression Tower does not require bone tempering at all, because it only needs 'hardening equipment'.

Bai Ze was already meditating in the sacred pool, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan sat quietly outside the sacred pond, legs crossed, eyes closed, like a statue in deep meditation. She concentrated on guiding the dense, almost insoluble spiritual energy around her, slowly flowing into her body.

As time went by, the spiritual energy flowed into Chen Yan's spiritual bones like a trickle. She carefully controlled this tremendous power, using her unique mental method and skills to refine and purify it bit by bit.

Half a minute later, her cultivation level broke through from the fifth level of the Heavenly King Realm to——

First level of Emperor Realm!

Break through six small realms in a row!

She exhaled a breath of foul air, and her eyes couldn't help but look at them in the sacred pool.

Chongming's face was the palest, and his whole body was shaking violently, as if he was enduring a punishment worse than death.

The person with the easiest life is Jiu Zhuan.

Jiu Zhuan swam back and forth in the divine pool.

Chen Yan stood up, walked to the sacred pool, and reached out to touch the milky white liquid inside the sacred pool.

In an instant, her fingertips felt like they were electrocuted, numb and a little stinging.

"Master, come down quickly." At this time, Jiuzhuan's little body had swam in front of Chenyan, and he stared at Chenyan with bright eyes.

Chen Yan nodded and smiled when he heard this.

"good."

She slowly entered the sacred pool.

But in an instant, the piercing pain spread.

It was as if countless ants were gnawing at her bones.

Chen Yan found a place and sat down.

Wu Ying looked at Chen Yan and said, "If you can't hold on any longer, you can leave the Divine Pond and rest for a while."

Chen Yan hummed softly.

She began to concentrate on using the milky white liquid in the divine pool to temper her bones!

My body is aching more and more.

Her face paled slightly.

…

The other side.

Somewhere in the Nameless Realm, the masked man in white robe slowly raised his head and stared at the phantom image in the air. The image showed Chen Yan, Wu Ying and others.

"Will you choose to judge or be judged?"

He whispered softly.

Suddenly, an old man in a plain robe appeared out of thin air next to the man in white robe.

A triumphant smile appeared on the old man's lips.

"Now, all the creatures in the entire prehistoric world know Feng Xingyao's secret."

The old man stared at Chen Yan, who was tempering his bones in the divine pool, and narrowed his eyes slightly. "I didn't expect that during the time I was away from the Nameless Realm, Chen Yan not only broke through the 'Forgetful Realm', but also passed the test of the Heart Method."

"There is one final test left." The white-robed man suddenly said, "If Feng Xingyao doesn't come, then this final test will be meaningless."

The old man said confidently, "Rest assured, Lord. A few days ago, I carefully arranged for people to spread Feng Xingyao's secret. Feng Xingyao must be extremely busy right now, investigating this matter thoroughly. In my opinion, within three days at most, he will be able to track me down. Furthermore, once he learns that I am in this nameless realm, he will surely rush here without stopping."

After a pause, he laughed, "When the time comes, we can use this final test to lay a net to drag Chen Yan and Feng Xingyao down with us. It won't just be a matter of their lives being annihilated, but their souls will be completely shattered and reduced to ashes, and they will disappear from this world forever!"

The Lord hesitated slightly. "It's not easy to successfully eliminate the two of them. Why not let those who covet Feng Xingyao's flesh and blood enter the Nameless Realm and join Chen Yan's final assessment?"

"God, do you have a way to let others enter the nameless realm?" The old man narrowed his eyes.

God is wearing a mask, so it is impossible to tell the changes in his expression.

"have."

He said with certainty.

The old man couldn't help but doubt the Lord of Heaven. He asked, "Lord of Heaven, who are you exactly? Why can you come and go freely in this nameless realm? Why can you even control the content of the divine test? And now you can even allow outsiders to participate in the divine test?"

"I am just the God of the Celestial Clan." God only replied with one sentence.

When the old man heard this, he knew that he didn't want to answer.

The Lord of Heaven smiled gently, "Fan Lie, my goal is the same as yours. If we don't eliminate Chen Yan and Feng Xingyao, how can we seize the world?"

The old man was Fan Lie.

If Nie Xun were here, he would definitely recognize Fan Lie!

Because Fan Lie was the one who brought him to the prehistoric world, and he was also his master!

"Hahaha, that's right!" Fan Lie suddenly burst into laughter. He stared at the Lord of Heaven with a steady gaze and said in a tone that was half warning and half threatening: "Lord of Heaven, after this is accomplished, our Venerable Master will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

The Lord nodded and said, "Okay."

Unfair treatment?

That's impossible.

Because he is what Fan Lie said -

Venerable.
