Adjust the true yuan force in the body, concentrate one's own spiritual power, and carefully feel every corner with care, and look at the world with care.
Then, merge the spiritual power into that layer of milky white halo! Indeed, this layer of halo is an illusion, real and fake, fake and real, reaching the point of confusing reality with falsehood.
It's not an energy shield at all, but a mental block! It uses a person's inner thoughts to achieve the purpose of blocking.
Heaving a deep sigh, Wang Chen smiled wryly. If not for Ling Zhan's reminder, he would have been misled again this time! This layer of energy shield was enough to stop him in his tracks.
With this result, Wang Chen felt an unprecedented surge of confidence in his heart. With a fearless attitude, he directly ignored the energy shield, treating it as if it didn't exist, and walked forward with a carefree stride.
The next moment, a strange thing happened! King Chen's body directly penetrated this layer of energy shield without any effort! In an instant, he stepped into a brand new world!
Before me was a space much smaller than the outer cave!
Still neatly arranged are two bookshelves, on which large and small sheepskin scrolls are placed!
Except for a slightly smaller space, there is no other change at all, exactly the same as the previous stone room.
Struggling to restrain his emotions, he walked forward.
This time, when Wang Chen clearly saw the rows of martial skills and techniques above, he was thoroughly boiling!
Only the rows of earth-level martial skills and techniques on the bookshelf in front of him were all that could be seen! The vast majority of them belonged to low-grade and mid-grade earth-level martial skills, only a few were high-grade earth-level!
It's roughly around sixty to seventy volumes! Among them are eight volumes of Gongfa and sixty volumes of Wujixue!
Seeing this, Wang Chen felt like his whole heart was going to jump out! Previously, when he saw the high-level Xuanjie martial skills and techniques in the stone room outside, Wang Chen only felt excitement because he had found what he was looking for. High-level Xuanjie martial skills and techniques were rare and precious things that ordinary people could hardly obtain, but for Wang Chen, they really didn't have much attraction.
Since getting to know Ling Zhan, entering the Xingchen Sect, he obtained a series of martial skills such as Cui Lang Zhang Qing Guang Bao and others, and even finally obtained the Wu Jie Gong Fa Di Long Jue. Wang Chen's immunity in this regard has been greatly enhanced! The high-level Xuanjie can no longer move his heart, and his ambition has become more grandiose.
However, even so, at this moment facing Di Jie Gong Fa and Wu Ji, Wang Chen still can't calm down.
Ground-level cultivation methods and martial techniques! What a concept! There are eight volumes of cultivation methods and sixty-one volumes of martial techniques here! Among them, there is even one volume of high-level ground-level cultivation method and one volume of high-level ground-level martial technique!
Not to mention these, just a low-level martial skill or technique appearing on the mainland would absolutely trigger a bloody struggle. In the entire Northern Territory, there are only a handful of people who can cultivate low-level techniques and skills! The Xingchen Sect is even more unlikely to have more than twenty people, with the vast majority being elders in cultivation. As for disciples, I estimate that one palm can count them clearly.
This is still a major sect like Xingchen Sect! What if it were some other sect? It's hard to imagine!
"Little one, look for Starlight Refining Body!" Just then, Ling War's tense voice came over.
Obviously, Xingchen's Tempering Body was also a fatal temptation for him!
Upon hearing this sentence, Wang Chen hastily snapped back to reality and began searching towards the two bookshelves. At the same time, his eyes were filled with even more doubt.
Earlier, I had taken a look at the sheepskin scrolls on both bookshelves, but didn't find any superior techniques or martial skills, and Star Picking Body Refining was nowhere to be seen.
Did I miss it myself?
Wang Chen began searching carefully once again.
After a long while, he returned with a hint of loss on his face and said in a slightly heavy tone: "I didn't see anything!"
"Not here? It seems to be in another place! Ling Yu, this guy! Looks like he's categorized and placed the martial skills and techniques! The previous one was a high-level Xuan stage, this one is a low-level Di stage, there should be an even higher level of martial skill room!" Ling Zhan also slightly furrowed his brow and muttered to himself.
"Take a look!" With that, this time Ling Zhan didn't slack off either and joined the search.
A stone chamber with a diameter of about 7 or 8 meters was finally found by two people after searching for more than half an hour.
Standing in the center of the stone chamber, both of their faces looked unpleasant!
"No!" Wang Chen said in a low voice.
"Damn it! What's the point of being so mysterious! One door after another! Now even the previous entrance has disappeared!" Ling Zhan couldn't help but complain, pouting his mouth.
They searched everywhere but couldn't find any other hidden entrance. Even the entrance they had used to come in was gone! This left them staring at each other in dismay.
"It seems it's not here, we've all fallen into a trap! Let's go somewhere else and take a look!" Ling Zhan sighed and said with a bitter smile.
Since a more advanced repository is not in this stone chamber, nor is it in this place, then it must be in another more secluded location within the Starry Expanse.
"Never mind, it's definitely not here! Don't bother looking!" Seeing Wang Chen's unwilling expression, preparing to search around again, Ling Zhan stopped him.
"Now that we're here, we can't leave empty-handed. Let's pick something to take with us! We can't afford to lose out!" Then, with a mischievous grin, Ling Zhan said.
Upon hearing his words, Wang Chen also came back to himself and after a moment of contemplation, walked towards the two bookshelves. It seemed he had also acknowledged this fact!
"Hey, stop right there! Don't just grab things randomly! Take a good look first before taking it! Otherwise, don't blame me if you regret it later!" Just as Wang Chen was about to pick up a volume of high-level martial skills from the bookshelf and examine it carefully, he was directly stopped by Ling Zhan.
"What's wrong?" Wang Chen asked with a hint of puzzlement as he turned his head to look at Ling Zhan.
"Haha, go take a look at that stele yourself and then talk!" Ling Zhan said with a sly smile.
He heard his words and walked in the direction he indicated, came to a secluded corner inside the stone chamber! Saw a blurry blue stone monument.
"Those who enter this room, pass three trials, and receive a reward! Choose one of the Earth Stage martial skills or internal skills, and the stone chamber will disappear! If fate permits, return to the origin in 99 days!"
A single line of words left Wang Chen stunned! The simple twenty-four words in front of him said too many things.
In other words, entering this stone chamber means passing the three trials of the Starry Realm! Entering it will grant a reward, and after obtaining the reward, the stone chamber disappears!
"Three trials!" Thinking of this, Wang Chen felt a mix of emotions! The first trial should have started from the appearance of the Three-eyed Green Wolf, right? Adding on the five or six waves of demonic beasts that appeared afterwards, it could be considered as the first trial - Piercing through emptiness!
As for the second pass, it is the appearance of the Purple Flame Lion King, a sixth-stage demon beast! It's not something that ordinary warriors who enter the fantasy realm can contend with. A sixth-stage demon beast is equivalent to the strength of an Imperial Warrior! Especially the Purple Flame Lion King, which is the king among sixth-stage demon beasts, equivalent to the peak of an Imperial Warrior or even close to the level of a Sect Master.
Ordinary martial artists can't even cope, let alone those who have reached the level of a Sect Master. Can it be said that these people won't enter the Starry Sky realm? Especially for the current Starry Sky Sect, whether or not there are any Sect Masters is a problem! Anyway, no one has heard of a Sect Master appearing in the Northern Border! A single Sect Master would be an invincible existence in the Northern Border.
Even if a strong warrior like Sohoku entered, what could he do? I suppose the yokai that appears will be even stronger.
At this point, Wang Chen felt a mix of emotions. The second test - true and false, false and true - was the greatest challenge!
The third pass? The third pass is about finding the entrance, locating the first stone chamber, and the exhibition hall of advanced martial arts. Abandon temptation and find this space.
Wang Chen was certain that if he had directly chosen a higher-level martial skill or technique earlier, this stone room would not have appeared again. Where else could these low-level techniques and skills be seen?
Unintentionally, he actually passed three levels in a row and couldn't help but laugh and cry. If it weren't for Ling Zhan's help, relying on himself, how many levels could he have passed? Maybe the first level would have been enough to stop him?
"As expected, you're perverted!" Wang Chen sighed after a long time.
This Starry Boundary is indeed a treacherous existence, with layers of interlocking mechanisms and defenses that are impossible to guard against. One misstep could lead to being trapped, and one mistake could cause those who enter to return empty-handed.
It's unlikely that anyone can truly rely on their own abilities to reach this stone chamber. In the past thousand years, only about a hundred people have entered the Star Realm, and among them, fewer than five have managed to make it this far. Wang Chen thought to himself that he wouldn't be able to make it here on his own.
"Haha, how's that? Now you know what a high-level illusion is like? The first two levels were just monsters! The third level was about wit and greed! If you weren't careful enough or got tempted by those external martial arts techniques, this test would be considered a failure!" At this time, seeing Wang Chen's astonished expression, Ling Zhan also stood up laughing.
"Advanced Illusory Realm!" Upon hearing this, Wang Chen pursed his lips, unsure of what to say. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, as the Starry Sky Realm had instantly increased his pressure by countless times.
It's indeed a terrifying existence, and Ling Yu senior was also an unparalleled strongman at the beginning. Being able to create such a space with his own strength shows his greatness and meticulous planning!
The boundary of the stars has already passed three gates. The last eight characters: If there is an opportunity, 99 returns to one! What does it mean after all?
Ninety-nine returns to one! Does that mean there are nine levels in the Starry Sky Realm? If so, having only passed three levels now means I've only completed a third of it!
Even if these three levels are already making people defenseless, what about the next six levels? How will they be even more perverted?
A sense of powerlessness emerged from Wang Chen's heart, Xingchen's body is not here! So it must be in the remaining levels! How many levels are there? When will it appear? It's all an unknown number. Can he get what he needs this time?
"Kid, your heart is wavering!" Ling Zhan said calmly during Wang Chen's silence.
"The path of martial arts is a long and arduous one, with countless hardships and obstacles. How can it be described in just a few words? If you can overcome them, you will achieve great success! Without perseverance and determination, how can you grasp the ultimate truth and contend for the top spot? Can't even get past this little hurdle? I think you're not much to speak of!" With a sigh, Ling Zhan gazed at Wang Chen.
One sentence made Wang Chen break out in a cold sweat! In an instant, he jumped up like his tail had been stepped on. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly fallen into the trap set by this one sentence. His mind was instantly caught off guard!
