Chapter 981 Spring Water Trial

Under the cover of the Phantom Spirit Pearl, the power of the Chaos Jade continuously flowed into Shen Fuzhou's body, temporarily stabilizing his collapsing bloodline power.

The golden light curtain formed by the two people together forcibly opened up a safe area in the blizzard.

The Snake King let out a slightly angry hiss, and a terrifying blue light condensed on its horn.

Just as it was about to launch an attack, something strange happened—

The snow beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and the six people fell into the bottomless abyss before they could react.

As they fell, Luo Li vaguely heard the Snake King's unwilling roar: "So fast! Holy Spring!"

After an unknown amount of time, the six people fell one after another onto the soft grass.

Surprisingly, it was warm like spring, a stark contrast to the icy and snowy conditions above.

"Where is this?" Xie Shiyuan sat up, rubbing his painful shoulder, and suddenly widened his eyes, "Look!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a clear spring not far away, with a faint blue light on the surface of the water.

Countless rare and sacred plants grow around the spring, and the air is filled with refreshing fragrance that is refreshing and refreshing.

Wen Xingyan suddenly became excited: "It's the Holy Cold Marrow Spring! It's a magical object from heaven and earth recorded in ancient books!"

Luo Li, however, noticed that Shen Fuzhou was in a bad situation.

He lay on the ground with a pale face, and his whole body was glowing with abnormal golden light - this was a sign of blood backlash.

"Save people first!" She quickly took out the pill and was about to rescue him when the spring water suddenly flowed without wind.

A column of water rose into the air and gently wrapped Shen Fuzhou in it.

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the golden light on Shen Fuzhou's body gradually stabilized, and the signs of backlash began to subside.

What’s even more amazing is that his originally suppressed cultivation is recovering rapidly!

"This spring water..." Xuan Mu thought thoughtfully, "It seems to be able to break the suppression of the Netherworld Realm."

As if to confirm his words, everyone felt that the stagnant soul power in their bodies became smoother.

Feng Wuhen tried to circulate his soul power and was pleasantly surprised to find that his strength had recovered by more than 70%.

Luo Li frowned, "But no matter what happens, this is the Netherworld..."

Luo Li’s words made everyone’s heart tremble.

Yes, this seemingly peaceful holy spring place is ultimately part of the Netherworld.

“But at least Shen Fuzhou’s injury has healed, which is a good thing.” Xie Shiyuan said.

"Yes." Luo Li nodded.

And in the outside world, unknown to them, the image of Luo Li and the others suddenly disappeared. Yan Ye narrowed his eyes slightly...

And in the Netherworld——

After a while, Shen Fuzhou was gently placed on the ground by the spring water.

Luo Li squatted down to check, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "His injuries have healed."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, at least the kid is okay."

After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Fuzhou sat up, holding his head. He looked at the scene around him and opened his mouth in astonishment, "Am I dead..."

“Bang!”

Xuan Mu slapped him on the back of the head without any hesitation, "Does it hurt?"

Shen Fuzhou rubbed his head with a grin, "It hurts so much! Xuan Mu, can you be a little gentler?"

"If you feel pain, it means you are not dead yet." Feng Wuhen stood aside with his arms folded, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Luo Li handed him the water bag in the space ring and asked, "How do you feel?"

Shen Fuzhou took the water bag and took a few gulps. Suddenly, his eyes widened: "My power..."

He spread out his palm in disbelief, and a ray of pure golden light flowed in his palm, "The power of the lord level has returned!"

Wen Xingyan looked at the spring thoughtfully: "It seems that this Holy Cold Marrow Spring can not only heal injuries, but also offset the suppression of the Netherworld Realm."

Xie Shiyuan suddenly pointed to the center of the spring: "Look there!"

I saw more than a dozen blood-red intertwined tokens floating in the spring, swaying gently with the waves.

"Pass token!" the six people said in unison.

Xuan Mu was about to step forward, but was stopped by Luo Li: "Wait."

She gathered a wisp of soul power at her fingertips and gently flicked it towards the spring water.

The moment the soul power touched the water surface, the spring water suddenly boiled, a curtain of water shot up into the sky, and a vague figure slowly emerged in the water curtain.

"Trial-taker..." A cold voice echoed in the cave, and the figure gradually became clearer - it was actually a female phantom condensed from spring water.

The woman had white hair and a blue dress, holding an ice crystal scepter. She swept a cold gaze over the six people and said, "Being able to reach the Holy Spring means that you have passed the test of the Ice Soul."

Shen Fuzhou muttered quietly: "That's called passing? He almost beat me to death..."

The woman paused with her staff, and the temperature of the entire cave plummeted. "But if you want to take the pass token for this trial, you must pass my final test."

Luo Li took a step forward: "Senior, please explain clearly."

The woman tapped her staff lightly, and a complex array suddenly lit up beneath the feet of the six people. "It's very simple. Just answer my three questions."

"The first question: What is a strong person?"

The six people looked at each other.

Why is this question so incompatible with the Netherworld...

But even so, the question still needs to be answered.

Xuan Mu spoke first: "Those who can protect those they want to protect are strong."

The array pattern lightened slightly.

Wen Xingyan continued, "Those who can follow their own desires and listen to their own hearts are the strong ones."

The second array pattern then lit up.

Xie Shiyuan pondered: "Only those who know how to advance and retreat, and understand gains and losses, can become strong."

The third array pattern lit up.

Feng Wuhen crossed his arms and said, "I believe that those who can stick to their original intentions and remain true to their beliefs are the truly strong ones."

The fourth array pattern lit up brightly.

Shen Fuzhou scratched his head: "Well... I think people who can maintain a positive attitude at all times are the most powerful."

The fifth array pattern flashed and suddenly lit up.

Everyone's eyes fell on Luo Li.

She raised her eyes and looked directly at the woman. "There is no such thing as an absolutely strong person in this world. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes, being able to admit your own weaknesses is also a kind of strength."

The last array pattern suddenly burst into dazzling golden light.

A hint of admiration flashed in the woman's eyes. "Second question: Why do you practice?"

This time, the six people spoke almost at the same time:

"To protect!"

"Follow your heart!"

“For my family!”

“To live up to everyone’s expectations!”

"Do what's in your heart!"

"For..." Luo Li paused, her eyes softening, "For everything I want to protect in this world."

Six golden lights shot up into the sky from the array pattern, interweaving into a dazzling array pattern above.

The woman smiled slightly and extended her hand, a soft light sweeping across the crowd. "One last question: If you can only choose between cultivation and your loved ones, what should you do?"

This question silenced everyone.

Under the woman's deliberate guidance, they seemed to have really seen that day when they could only choose one between power and their loved ones.

Wen Xingyan clenched his fists and said, "I choose my closest relatives. I can pick it up again through cultivation, but I can only choose my closest relatives once."

A ray of light rose from the array pattern.
