Chapter 444 A Trial
Yu Zhiyi had already charged into the demon's camp with her sword.
During her time at the Tianji Sect, she learned a great deal, the biggest of which was figuring out her newfound abilities after her enlightenment.
She awakened the legendary Golden Reincarnation Eye.
The so-called Golden Reincarnation Eye is one of the best gifts from Heaven that a person who enters the Dao through their life can receive.
Another character of equal renown is the one with purple-gold eyes and red pupils (a personal interpretation).
Throughout the history of the Hidden Realm, all those who possessed the Golden Reincarnation Eye and the Purple-Gold-Red Eye were masters among masters who managed to rise to fame.
Their cultivation level may not be very high, but their combat power is no weaker than other experts, and they can even compete with the recognized strongest sword cultivator.
Unfortunately, ever since the last person to possess both purple-gold and red eyes, Master Fengxu, ascended to heaven, no master with these two talents has ever appeared in the Hidden Realm again.
Several hundred years ago, the Tianji Sect's library was attacked by the enemy, and many ancient secret manuals were either lost or destroyed.
Unfortunately, all the information about the Golden Reincarnation Eye was destroyed in that accident.
Even the information about the purple-gold-red-eyed person was almost lost.
Of the surviving materials about the purple-gold-red-eyed creature, only the first half remains.
In other words, Yu Zhiyi could not rely on the experience of her predecessors; she had to figure everything out on her own.
Fortunately, as two top-tier talents, the Purple-Gold Red Eyes and the Golden Reincarnation Eyes are similar in some ways.
Although Yu Zhiyi couldn't fully draw on the experience, she was still able to piece together some of the information she wanted.
Combining this with the subtle feelings she had experienced each time she narrowly escaped danger, she also vaguely summarized some experiences and patterns.
These experiences and patterns were put to full use when she fought against the demons.
She was like an indestructible blade, piercing the enemy's heart!
Despite the overwhelming force of the demons, they were already weakened by the Demon-Slaying Formation and delayed by the Tianji Sect. Now, the demons are merely at their last gasp.
Under the combined attack of Yu Zhiyi and the Taixu Sect, the demon race was quickly defeated and almost wiped out.
Yu Zhiyi faced off against a demon in the Nascent Soul Realm.
By then, she had already killed more than twenty demons.
The intense battle she had never experienced before caused her hand holding the sword to tremble slightly. Facing an opponent who was a whole realm above her, she did not feel intimidated, and Shuli's face remained expressionless.
"Hehehe, beauty~" The demon in the black cloak grinned, revealing a disgusting smile: "Don't waste your energy. You're just a weakling in the Golden Core Realm. No matter how much you jump around, you can't hit my knee."
"What's the point of all this effort? The Taixu Sect is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. The Tianji Sect has been in trouble for so long, do you think they haven't noticed anything at all?"
"Hehehe, they just don't want to get here so quickly. The Hidden Realm is said to be dominated by four major forces that lead the righteous path, but hundreds of years ago, the Heavenly Mystery Sect always held a transcendent position. If the Heavenly Mystery Sect produced a genius, they would definitely be able to crush all the geniuses in the Hidden Realm."
"The Heavenly Sound Fairy who perished eighteen years ago was such a person of extraordinary talent and beauty."
"Logically speaking, someone like Fairy Tianyin, who has already entered the Dao and is living a lifespan that rivals the heavens, shouldn't have died so hastily in the encirclement and annihilation of the demons, and shouldn't have been completely unaware of the demons' murderous intent. Yet she still died. Can you guess why?"
Yu Zhiyi remained unmoved and looked at him coldly: "Because you talk too much nonsense."
As she spoke, she flicked her wrist, and a talisman flew out.
The demon initially didn't take the achievement of a mere Golden Core cultivator seriously, but his expression finally changed when the talisman drew near: "Blue Lightning Talisman?"
The moment his last word fell, the Blue Lightning Talisman exploded violently.
Yu Zhiyi retreated the instant the Blue Lightning Talisman exploded, and coincidentally ended up beside Master Lingyun.
Although she dodged in time, the Blue Lightning Talisman exploded too fast and with too much power, and she still suffered considerable injuries.
She swallowed the blood that rose to her throat, turned to look at Master Lingyun, and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Although the battle was chaotic, Yu Zhiyi and the demon were not close to Lingyun Zhenren. Given his cultivation level, it would be easy for him to monitor her.
Master Lingyun's face was ashen: "Impossible."
Yu Zhiyi smiled, revealing bright red blood streaks on her white teeth.
"It doesn't matter."
Master Lingyun was somewhat bewildered.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Then, the audacious woman suddenly lunged behind him and hugged him tightly from behind.
What are you doing?
In his shock, he forgot to shake the person away.
Yu Zhiyi's muffled laughter reached her ears, tinged with weakness: "Didn't I say? If I must die, I will never choose to commit suicide, but will fight the enemy to the very end."
"It is true that the Demon Clan is my enemy, but your Taixu Sect is no better."
"It is precisely because of the existence of a high-ranking elder like you who cannot distinguish right from wrong that the Taixu Sect is so arrogant and does not regard the lives of the lower classes as human lives."
She couldn't say anything more.
Lingyun Zhenren realized something, and his usually expressionless face finally showed horror: "You actually... are going to self-destruct?"
As the last word fell, a violent explosion came from behind him.
Accompanied by a dazzling purple light
boom!
If the explosion of the Blue Lightning Talisman was like a dreamlike blue firework display, then the self-destruction of a Golden Core cultivator combined with the attack of the Purple Lightning Talisman was even more dazzling.
Yu Zhiyi suddenly opened her eyes.
She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
It doesn't actually hurt when your dantian explodes, since it only lasts for a brief moment. Before you even feel the pain, your whole body has turned into a pile of minced meat.
The truly difficult part is the energy accumulation phase before the explosion.
The dantian gradually became full, and the muscles, tendons, and even the skin were repeatedly on the verge of being torn apart. Each time it was torn apart, it was repaired by spiritual energy, and then it would undergo a new round of tearing and repair...
This process is extremely painful.
If she hadn't been used to having a blank expression since childhood, she probably would have given herself away long ago.
She looked up at the top of the steps and saw her master looking at her with a compassionate expression: "Good child..."
Yu Zhiyi subconsciously looked back and realized that she had reached the end of the steps without even realizing it.
"Is this the introductory trial of the Heavenly Mystery Sect?" Yu Zhiyi noticed that her voice was somewhat hoarse as soon as she opened her mouth.
Hongchan Zhenren reached out her hand.
Without hesitation, Yu Zhiyi placed her hand on his and followed her master into the mountain gate.
Yes and no.
The usually composed voice of the Red-Clothed Immortal betrayed a hint of age and weakness.
She pointed to the huge stone tablet next to her.
“Every disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Sect must undergo the trials of the Heavenly Mystery Ladder before they can officially join the sect. However, what you just experienced was not an ordinary trial, but the trial of the Heart-Questioning Stone.”
