Along the way, Qin Xin discovered many traces left by human martial artists and the corpses of some demonic beasts.
He roughly understood that the Suijin Palace might have been discovered by martial artists from other forces, since the emergence of such a ruin would produce some strange sounds.
For a moment, Qin Xin and his group of five quickened their pace toward the ruins.
When we reached the middle of the Tianshan snow mountain range, the terrain was relatively high and there was little vegetation.
After passing some stones with signs of human carving, a towering palace gate came into view.
"There appears to be a mineral vein here."
Looking at the location of the palace, Qin Xin could clearly sense through his spiritual sense that the entire palace seemed to be built upon the foundation of that mineral vein.
Moreover, there seems to be something special in this mine, continuously supplying energy to the palace to keep it running.
After some thought, Qin Xin decided to go in and investigate first, because all the traces in front of the palace indicated that martial artists had entered before them.
According to Hong Ye's introduction, to enter the Suijin Palace, one only needs to place their palm on the entrance gate to be directly drawn into the palace by the array.
Qin Xin naturally took the lead, standing in front of the four people and slowly placing his palm on the gate of the Suijin Palace.
The metal on the gate seemed to come alive, radiating a dazzling light, and a sudden sound rang in his mind.
"Perfect breadth of consciousness, trial level S!"
This unfamiliar voice startled Qin Xin. Then, after a moment of blurred vision, Qin Xin felt as if someone was suddenly pulling him.
After the feeling subsided, Qin Xin found himself in a spacious palace.
On both sides of the palace are statues of warriors, lifelike in appearance, their eyes filled with terror, as if they were petrified the moment they died.
"This place seems to be the training ground for disciples of those powerful sects in ancient times. If you pass, you can get rich rewards."
Danqing's somewhat leisurely voice suddenly rang out, as if he had some understanding of the Suijin Palace.
"What is the S-rank trial, and how do I pass it?"
After entering the Suijin Hall, Qin Xin had some doubts about the trial mentioned by the voice, because the surroundings were quiet.
"I don't know either, but this place seems to have been built to test the disciples, so there is no danger."
After surveying the surrounding area, Danqing simply gave up.
Since there was no danger, Danqing naturally didn't need to be constantly vigilant about her surroundings and chose to cultivate directly in the fragmented map space.
Qin Xin was already used to Danqing's appearance, and he knew that he would always seek out and obtain such benefits from his own adventures.
After leaving a sliver of his spiritual awareness as a precaution, Qin Xin began to survey his surroundings.
The petrified statues around him gave Qin Xin a sense of indestructibility, as if their bodies were not made of flesh and blood, but rather constructed from various kinds of hard metals.
Even with the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in his hand, it would be extremely difficult to break through the defenses of these petrified statues in a single strike.
As Qin Xin looked directly in front of the palace, a golden light seemed to flash across it, followed by a voice.
"The S-rank trial has begun. Kill all the guards to pass."
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire palace trembled, and then the stone statues began to crack.
"puppet?"
"No, these all seem to be martial artists, but it seems that some secret technique was used to turn them into these puppet-like figures after their deaths."
"boom!"
As a martial artist broke free from the stone statue, his figure transformed into a bolt of black lightning.
The impact, combined with friction with the air, produced a distinctive sound.
"Flowing Cloud Step!"
Qin Xin dared not be careless in the face of the charging martial arts puppet, and immediately activated his movement technique.
With each shift in his steps, Qin Xin moved like an eel, easily dodging the attacks from the martial artists within the stone statues.
"when!"
After just a slight collision, Qin Xinzhi felt his hand holding the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword tremble uncontrollably, and the metallic clanging sound echoed throughout the palace.
"What a powerful physical body!"
Qin Xin sighed for a moment, realizing that even with his full power of the Desolate God Battle Body, he might not be able to defeat these stone statues in a short time.
"Attack these martial artists' heads!"
Seeing that Qin Xin was constantly dodging and was falling into a disadvantageous position, Danqing knew that he would be eliminated from the trial in the Suijin Palace sooner or later, so she reminded Qin Xin.
After Danqing's reminder, Qin Xin used his spiritual sense to discover that each of these puppet warriors had a glowing stone in its head, which seemed to be the source of their power.
After a martial arts puppet charged forward, Qin Xin used the Flowing Cloud Step to appear behind the martial arts puppet.
Then, a blazing fist struck directly at the head of the martial artist puppet.
The powerful Yuan energy, mixed with dark energy, was released in a short time, directly destroying the source of power in the head of the martial artist puppet.
The powerless martial arts puppets instinctively returned to their original positions, as if the underground of those stone statues could continue to recharge them.
Seeing that this move was effective, Qin Xin used the same move against the other martial arts puppets.
Soon all the martial arts puppets in the palace returned to their original positions.
"Boom!"
Strange noises emanated from within the palace once more.
This puzzled Qin Xin. Logically, since the martial arts puppets had been dealt with, the so-called trial should have ended.
However, the announcement of the end did not sound. Instead, something else seemed to emerge from the palace, and a terrifying aura immediately spread throughout the palace.
"control!"
As a giant foot landed in front of him, the shock caused Qin Xin to lose his balance for a moment, forcing him to leap up and float in mid-air.
"What is this?!"
A giant, warrior-like creature was standing in front of Qin Xin.
This martial artist was over three meters tall; if the palace weren't so large, it wouldn't have been able to contain him.
At the same time, within the palace, all the surrounding metallic sand and gravel slowly gathered towards the warrior, forming a large black sword in his hand.
