Qin Yu gasped. One had to know that this was a sect that had existed within the Saint Kingdom for so long.
The rewards of this once-in-fifty-years Dao Competition were already shockingly bountiful, not to mention that there was another layer of meaning behind it.
“May I ask? Why is Elder Xin Yue telling me so much?” Qin Yu couldn’t help but inquire.
“Among the outsiders, your strength isn’t the strongest. There’s already someone here who has completely reached the True Consciousness Realm.
Moreover, the cultivation method he practices has some connections with our Daoist teachings,” Elder Xin Yue explained, producing a gourd from which a drop of water flowed.
A water mirror slowly formed in the air, revealing a figure amidst the ripples.
“Hua Tian!”
Qin Yu’s expression shifted as he observed Hua Tian, who was currently wreaking havoc in the Ancient Demon Land. His expression grew solemn. “So powerful. I didn’t expect this individual to also venture into this place.” “Do you know him?” Jing Xin asked curiously.
“We’ve had some conflicts. It seems he cultivates the Way of Cosmic Luck, allowing him to perceive powers that elude our detection,” Qin Yu replied, nodding.
With Hua Tian’s strength, he was undoubtedly beneath Qin Yu before entering this Saint Kingdom.
However, it was unexpected that Hua Tian had obtained the Dao Mystical Saint’s divine flame rune and now surpassed him completely.
“His appearance here must mean he’s perceived some advantageous powers. Otherwise, he wouldn’t appear so boldly,” Qin Yu remarked with a slight furrow of his brow.
He had faced off against Hua Tian several times, the most recent encounter nearly resulting in his demise.
At the brink of death and severe injury, Hua Tian’s sneak attack nearly made him taste defeat. Afterward, he never sensed the presence of this person again.
“Indeed, I suspect he’s the chosen candidate of our Valley Master Dan. I’ll take this opportunity to observe him closely. Furthermore, I sense a formidable power within him, one that even I fear,” Elder Xin Yue added with a frown.
Qin Yu remained composed outwardly, but internally, a storm brewed. If even
Elder Xin Yue feared Hua Tian’s power, how could Qin Yu hope to withstand it?
Elder Xin Yue spoke slowly.
“Including you, I will give some people a test. If you can earn my approval, then I will provide you with my greatest assistance. However, there is a high possibility that you will perish in this trial.’
Xin Yue said with a smile.
“Engage in a life-and-death duel with my clone. If you can endure for fifteen minutes, I will consider it as you passing my test.”
“Master.”
Jing Xin couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s Master’s battle clone. Master’s dao technique has naturally condensed her battle consciousness to the point where it’s almost invisible, sealing it within her avatar. Once the battle clone is activated, it will be a lethal confrontation. Unless Master retrieves her clone, you won’t be able to escape.
Under the divine might of the True Consciousness, you will undoubtedly be defeated.”
“Accept? Or perhaps we can just treat today’s meeting as a dream.”
Xin Yue softly said.
“I accept. Bring it on.”
Qin Yu agreed without hesitation. The battle with Hua Tian was inevitable.
His cultivation technique was very peculiar. Although he didn’t know if he could cultivate here, judging from his performance just now, it seemed that he was still a cultivator.
He should continue to inherit the previous cultivation technique, and it appeared that he had made further progress.
With his cosmic luck-locking technique, there was no way he could evade it.
Moreover, before he entered this place, he had also obtained the Heart of Saint Kingdom bestowed by Chen Shuang.
If he couldn’t even accept this trial, Qin Yu would never be able to overcome the barrier in his heart.
“Let me remind you that I have given this trial to many outsiders before, but very few of them survived my battle clone. I will ask again, do you want to accept this trial?”
As Xin Yue spoke, a hint of blood started to fill her eyes..
