Cang Yun sat cross-legged in the empty space. There were no other people around him. It was obvious that this space had separated all of the trial challengers.

The space in front of him did not appear to be anything special. It was completely empty and one could not even find an ordinary flower. There was a kind of deathly silence within the vast space.

"This is a place where people can focus without distractions." Cang Yun nodded his head in satisfaction. After which, he focused his mind and began to ponder over the trial.

This was indeed a troublesome problem. If he were to choose an ordinary low level Origin Skill to fuse with, the difficulty would naturally be much lower, but that way, the grade of the Origin Skills he would obtain wouldn't be too high. For him, who already had two high grade Origin Skills, it was of no use at all.

If he were to successfully comprehend it, the benefits would naturally be self-evident, but the risks were much higher. If he failed, it would be a wasted effort, so for a time, he was stuck in a dilemma.

After pondering for a long time, Cang Yun's expression suddenly became serious.

Regardless of whether it was to deal with the unexpected turn of events in the trial or the declaration of war by the Netherworld Kingdom half a month later, with his current strength, none of this was enough to deal with it. At that time, if his strength was insufficient and a tragedy occurred, he would definitely not be willing to see such a situation happen.

In order to ensure that such a tragedy would not occur, Cang Yun had to maximize the number of cards in his hands. Furthermore, he had just broken through a breakthrough earlier, so if he wanted to advance his cultivation, it was clearly impossible in a short period of time. Then, he had to rely on other aspects to strengthen himself.

"I don't lack any Spiritual Tier Origin Skills. If I can merge two Spiritual Tier High Rank Origin Skills into one, then that is what I need right now. Moreover, with my talent, there is hope for success!"

When he thought of this, Cang Yun's hesitant face quickly turned resolute.

In the next moment, a dark black source energy shot out from his palm. His left palm turned into a palm, while his right palm turned into a seal.

The Vastheaven Hands and the Vastheaven Seal were his choices. These two high-grade Spiritual Tier World Suppression Origin Skills were his choices …

Weng! *

In that instant, an intense buzzing sound instantly rang out in the silent sky. After which, the scene in the sky instantly changed.

Cang Yun scanned the sky in astonishment and found that the sky was suddenly filled with rolling dark clouds. There were even lines of filaments in the shape of lightning moving around. This scene was like a god in the sky trying to repair a divine garment.

"Is that the tao technique comprehended by the almighty ancient times? To be able to cause such a great commotion, it is truly amazing." Cang Yun stared at the lightning threads and clicked his tongue. His eyes flickered with an intense desire. Only that kind of power could be called powerful. This was also what he desired in his heart.

The sky rumbled non-stop, and the anticipation in Cang Yun's eyes grew even more intense with the increasingly fearful aura. The old man had already said that the fusion of two high grade Spirit Level Origin Skills was the pinnacle of what could be evolved. Thus, it was likely that the result of the fusion would not be disappointing.

BOOM!

Time flew by. Under Cang Yun's expectant gaze, at a certain moment, the sky suddenly emitted a violent tremble. Dark clouds scattered in all directions as if something extraordinary had been born. The majestic feeling caused Cang Yun to pause for a moment.

In the next moment, an extremely resplendent stream of light shot out from the heart of the fluctuation and headed straight towards Cang Yun. In the next instant, an extremely resplendent stream of light shot out from the center of the fluctuation and headed straight towards Cang Yun.

BOOM!

As the ray of light entered his forehead, Cang Yun's body trembled and he immediately felt a huge and obscure information rush into his mind.

The intense pain caused Cang Yun's face to turn white, but he also knew that this was not the time to study this Origin Skill. Thus, after biting the tip of his tongue to force himself to wake up, he flipped his palm and put the Spirit-Cleansing Pill into his mouth.

The Spirit-Cleansing Pill had the ability to stabilize the mind. After consuming it, a martial artist would be able to maintain the best state of meditation for a period of time. As for the current situation, taking it would naturally be the best time.

The medicinal pill instantly dissolved after it entered his mouth. A little while later, when the medicinal strength melted within his body, Cang Yun's mind instantly became calm. After which, he entered into a state of self-immersion.

At the same time, in another space, after hesitating for a long time, Zhou Xian'er finally made her decision.

"My father and uncles have high expectations of me for the clan's final inheritance. I can't take too much risk because of other things, so … I think it's better to choose the safest option. "

After softly muttering to herself, Zhou Xian'er focused and quickly released two Common Tier low tier Origin Skills. These were the lowest grade Origin Skills, so she naturally wouldn't have any problems with them.

It was worth mentioning that although there were many benefits to tempting Zhou Xian'er, she was not the only one who had a firm decision to make. In reality, Zhou Jun and Zhou An had also made the decision to approach her.

In that space, Zhou Jun had a faint sneer on his face, "That old fellow is quite good at scheming. He knows very well that the Spirit Level Origin Skills are not that attractive to us, so he threw out some benefits to lure us in. He wants us to lose our minds and choose something that is impossible to accomplish? Heh, he really is a cunning old fox, but this trick cannot be deceived by me. "

"However, given Cang Yun's usually flamboyant character, he would probably fall for it. Heh, if that's really the case, it will save me quite a bit of trouble."

Thinking of all of this, Zhou Jun no longer hesitated, and he quickly executed two Common High Rank Origin Skills for fusion.

With the Spirit-Cleansing Pill in his hand, he was very confident in this choice. At the same time, he had the mindset of trying it out, in case the Origin Skill was the highest, then he would be able to obtain the benefits that the old man had previously promised.

In the last space, Zhou An, who was usually calm, wore a devilish smile on his face as he muttered to himself.

"If two high grade spirit rank Origin Skills were to fuse together, I presume that would be a noble Origin Skill?" This is somewhat interesting. However, if we really choose to do so, we will have to reveal some of our true strength. In comparison, it seems that the gains do not make up for the losses. "

"Therefore, it's best to keep a low profile."

As his voice faded, his hands casually formed two high-grade Mortal Origin Skills. Then, he stood there with a faint smile as he looked at the stormy sky. It was as if he did not mind the fact that he was about to comprehend the Origin Skills.

After all the challengers made their choice, the entire space once again fell silent. However, in the distant sky, a white figure hid itself, taking in everyone's choice.

"Heh, these little fellows sure are able to keep their cool." A somewhat old muttering sound drifted out from his mouth. After which, his gaze landed on the space where Cang Yun was at.

"Only this little guy is an exception. This makes me a bit curious. Did he really lose his mind due to temptation, or is he really that powerful?"

A strange glow flashed across those deep eyes after his words sounded. Immediately, his gaze paused at the location of Cang Yun's Dantian. It was as though he wanted to penetrate it and see through the secrets within.

Weng! *

However, at this moment, the Spirit Accumulation within Cang Yun's Dantian seemed to have sensed something. It trembled slightly before releasing a strange fluctuation on its own, instantly expelling the perception that was trying to pry into his Dantian.

"Hmm?" After his perception was blocked, the face of the white robed old man from the Ancient Pagoda's spirit changed. In his surprise, he seemed to be deep in thought, and only after a while did he come back to his senses. He stroked his beard in surprise, "Interesting, interesting, a power that even I am unable to see through, this trial is really interesting."

"Although this boy is not the descendant of that old man, but from what I can see, that little girl's relationship with him is not ordinary." After exclaiming in surprise, the elder thought of the situation he had observed earlier and nodded with a smile, "If that's the case, then it's not bad. With someone with great potential protecting her, her path of growth will be much easier in the future."

As he spoke to here, the old man seemed to recall something from the past, and a reminiscent look appeared in his eyes.

Because he possessed the body of the 'True Phoenix' of the nine great ancient physiques, he was born to be the emperor of flames. His battle prowess was almost invincible amongst his peers, so when he was extremely young, he had already made his name in the Nine Prefectures.

In the past, the Fire Ancestor from the Azure Province practiced an extremely evil cultivation technique. It was said that this cultivation technique could change one's physique by constantly absorbing the special energy of a person with a fire attribute, so at that time, the Zhou Family ancestor who possessed the body of a 'True Phoenix' would naturally become the main hunting target of the Fire Ancestor.

"Fortunately, that old fellow was able to hold on in the end. After his cultivation reached the peak, he directly entered the Fire Realm and killed the Fire Realm Patriarch. From then on, he established the position of the Sunfire Realm in the Azure Province." The old man could not help but softly mutter once again when he thought of this final point of excitement.

He had followed the Zhou family's ancestor for the longest period of time. Thus, he understood the hardships of the period of being hunted down and he had nearly failed to endure due to that astonishing talent. Naturally, he did not wish to see such a thing happening again among the descendants of the Zhou family.
