Chapter 1154 Divine Skills
Everyone immediately became alert and prepared to deal with any unexpected events that might occur at any time.
Sure enough, as the runes flashed, the surrounding space began to distort, and phantoms once again came from all directions.
These phantoms are more ferocious than before and have physical bodies, and each attack carries great power.
"Don't panic, keep attacking the center of the formation! I'll block these phantoms!" Luo Li said as he waved the Xuan Yue Sword, repelling the approaching phantoms one by one.
Lan Xiaoxiao, Di Xuanming and others also joined the battle and engaged in a fierce fight with the phantom.
Song Wanbai was constantly observing the changes in the runes and providing guidance to everyone at any time.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the rune light on the center of the formation became weaker and weaker, and the surrounding phantoms gradually dissipated.
Finally, with a loud bang, all the runes on the stone wall shattered, and the entire illusion array was successfully broken.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they found themselves in front of a palace.
This palace is completely different from the palaces I have seen before. It has no gorgeous decorations, only a simple architectural style, exuding a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
The gate of the palace was closed, with two ancient characters engraved on it - "Inheritance".
"It seems that this is the end of the fourth level trial." Luo Li looked at the palace gate and said slowly.
She raised her hand and placed it on the door. Before anyone could react, their vision went dark and they lost consciousness.
When they regained consciousness, they found themselves in a spacious hall.
The walls around the hall are inlaid with eternal lamps emitting soft light, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
In the center of the hall stands a huge statue.
The person in the statue has a handsome face, deep eyes, a long robe fluttering in the wind, a staff in his hand, and a mysterious aura all around him.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Senior Cangwu?"
Lan Xiaoxiao whispered, "Didn't they say the Nine-Layered Heaven Formation has nine levels? We're only on the third level. Could it be that the inheritance is actually on the third level?"
Taixu Ancient Dragon immediately retorted: "Of course, the inheritance left by Lord Cangwu can only be obtained through the Nine-Layered Heaven Formation, but I don't quite understand the meaning of this statue on the third floor."
Luo Li stared at the statue, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.
She always felt that this statue seemed to be more than just a decoration, but contained some deep meaning.
At this moment, the staff in the statue's hand suddenly glowed with a faint light, and then a gentle yet majestic voice echoed in the hall -
"Being able to reach this point means you have passed the test of the mind-enchanting array."
Everyone was startled and looked around immediately, but they couldn't find the source of the sound.
The voice continued, "I am Cang Wu. This statue is formed from a strand of my divine consciousness. The true trial of the third level is called 'Asking the Way.'"
"Ask?" Emperor Xuanming frowned and repeated in a low voice.
"That's right." Cangwu's voice was tinged with a smile. "The path of cultivation is based on the heart of Tao. If the heart of Tao is not stable, even if one has the ability to reach the sky, it will be difficult to reach the peak."
He raised his hand and waved it, and countless ancient books circulated around them. "These are the divine skills I searched for in my lifetime. Each of you choose one. Only those who have comprehended the divine skills within can advance to the fourth level of the formation."
Upon hearing this, the others showed surprise.
Divine skills are spiritual skills that are stronger than soul skills. Moreover, they are divine skills left over from the Great Wilderness, so they must be extraordinary!
Lan Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands excitedly. "There are so many ancient books. Which one should I choose?"
Song Wanbai calmly scanned the floating ancient books and said softly, "These ancient books may seem disorganized, but they actually contain mysteries. We should choose the ones that suit us."
Emperor Xuanming's eyes were sharp as he suddenly reached out and grabbed an ancient book that glowed with a gray light. "This 'Nine Netherworld King Secret' is very suitable for me."
The moment the ancient tome came into his hand, it transformed into a stream of light that sank into his brow. Emperor Xuanming's body trembled, and he immediately sat cross-legged, a chilling aura emanating from his body.
Lan Xiaoxiao was attracted by an ancient book emitting a soft blue light. She reached out and touched it gently, and a line of small golden characters immediately appeared on the ancient book - "Phantom of the Breeze". It was obvious that it was an extremely exquisite body movement technique.
Her eyes lit up and she picked it up without hesitation.
Others also walked through it, looking for magical skills that suited them.
Disciples from forces like the Ji family naturally have this qualification, but obtaining the magical skills is one thing, and being able to comprehend them is another.
Luo Li's eyes quickly swept through the ancient books, and she was secretly amazed at the wide range of these magical skills.
From offensive sword techniques, palm techniques, and spells to defensive body techniques and shields, and even some auxiliary healing techniques and stealth techniques.
Before Luo Li took two steps, an ancient book hit her on the forehead.
She took two steps back and frowned slightly as she looked at the ancient book that was rushing towards her. "What is that?"
Luo Li raised her hand to take the ancient book, and saw three large gold-plated characters written in a flamboyant style on the cover - "One Sword".
The moment she picked up the ancient book, a warm power flowed into her body through her palm, as if connected with her soul.
Luo Li's heart trembled, and she vaguely felt that this ancient book seemed to... have chosen her.
"One Sword?" She whispered the name, her fingertips gently stroking the edge of the page, wondering, "Why did it fly towards me on its own?"
At this moment, Cangwu's voice sounded again, with a hint of meaning: "Ancient books have spirits and choose their masters. It seems that you are destined to be with them."
Luo Li looked up at the statue, only to find that Cangwu's spiritual shadow had appeared beside the statue at some point, looking at her with a smile.
Before she could speak, another ancient book crashed into her.
She already had experience, so she dodged to the side, leaving the ancient book empty-handed.
"Tian Yan Jue?" Luo Li frowned and looked over, "Why is there another one?"
"Senior Cangwu," Luo Li looked at Cangwu's regret, "what's so special about this 'Tian Yan Jue'?"
Cangwu smiled without saying a word, just raised his hand slightly, and a ray of light penetrated into Luo Li's eyebrows.
In an instant, a vague picture emerged in her sea of consciousness——
Amidst the boundless sea of stars, a figure stood in the void, the spells in his hands shifting, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. The stars rotated with him, and everything was under his control...
The scene flashed by, and Luo Li was shocked. This "Tian Yan Jue" turned out to be a supreme skill to deduce the secrets of heaven and take advantage of all things!
She took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in her heart, and looked up at Cangwu: "Senior, this magical skill..."
Cang Wu shook his head slightly and interrupted her: "The opportunity has arrived. Whether you can understand it depends entirely on you."
As his voice fell, his figure gradually faded, leaving only a faint echo: "Within three days, those who fully comprehend the divine skills held by you can enter the fourth level."
