Chapter 2132  Completion Of The Second Trial

"Wait… You all were going to continue past this?" Crown Prince Feng Shun questioned.

"Yes." Lin Mu nodded.

"But how would you get out of here?" Qiao De asked, knowing that everything in the Inheritance ground was under the control of the arrays.

"While we are confined here, we still have the final option of tearing through the s.p.a.ce." Ziran replied this time.

"Tearing through s.p.a.ce?" The Crown Prince raised his brows. "You all intended to jump into the void?"

"We did." Lady Kang spoke up. "I have a method to help guide us out of this place if need be too. Though it was the final option, if nothing else was possible." She added.

"Thankfully, that didn't happen as Ziran figured out that there was differential time flow in this place." Daoist Chu stated.

"That's good." Crown Prince chuckled nervously. "Otherwise these keys would have been unless." He said, taking out exactly five iron keys.

"It really is five keys… the Trials were set accordingly." Lin Mu muttered.

"They were a pain to get… I never thought someone could even make a trial like that," Crown Prince replied.

"Oh yeah, what kind of area did you two end up in?" Crown Princess Shang questioned. "It couldn't have been worse than that disgusting marsh." "Well… it's hard to call it an area." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "There wasn't exactly much of land." He added.

"Not much of land? What was the theme? Sea? Ocean?" Daoist Chu asked.

"Sky." Qiao De answered.

"Sky?" Lin Mu tilted his head in confusion.

"Yeah… Sky." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "The enemies we faced were also made out of air." He revealed.

Everyone was surprised and a bit confused by this, before the Crown Prince started explaining all that he and Qiao De had gone through.

The Second Trial of the Inheritance Ground sent them to a strange location that basically had no land other than a few chunks of stone slabs that floated in air. These stone slabs were spread in quite some distance and reaching them was not easy since the Crown Prince and Qiao De couldn't exactly fly. This was further complicated by the Yin Heart Puppets that were made out of literal air.

Spotting them was quite difficult, as they basically had no outline for their body. Unless one had their immortal sense at maximum alertness, it would be very easy to get hit.

"So there was no ground below either?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Nothing… Or at the very least, we didn't want to see if there was," Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "If we fell, we had no idea where we would end up. If we were lucky, we would simply fail the trial, or if we were unlucky, we might die instantly." He added.

"How did you two complete the trial, then?" Daoist Chu inquired.

"Well, the one good thing about the sky is that it has plenty of wind." Crown Prince Feng Shun smiled.

"No wonder…" Hearing that, Lin Mu figured it out. "If it's wind, you can still control it." He spoke.

"Indeed. Harnessing a bit of wind to move around isn't that hard, especially with the Storm King Immortal arts." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "In addition to that, Qiao De has a few nifty tools that helped us highlight the enemies too." He added.

With the combined efforts of Crown Prince Feng Shun and Qiao De's resourcefulness, the two managed to traverse the landless region while killing the Yin Heart Puppets and obtaining the keys that were spread around. Two of the iron keys were located in some distant floating slabs, while the rest were obtained by killing the Yin Heart Puppets made out of air.

Thankfully, since they were carrying the keys in their bodies, it was very easy to spot them, and as such it actually didn't take Crown Prince Feng Shun and Qiao De that long to finish the second trial. It was only the time flow, which made it seem like they had been at it for months.

"Haaah!~" Daoist Chu let out a tried breath. "That was certainly a harder place than ours. At least we could move around in the frozen wasteland. We would be helpless in the sky when we can't fly." He added.

"Hmm, perhaps you two did have a harder difficulty, but ours was simply too disgusting." Crown Prince Shang stated, still convinced that she had the worst trial.

"Though… I wonder what the other four trials are like." Lin Mu stated. "We only saw five of the teleportation circles activate… there are four more that are linked to different locations." He added.

"I don't really care about them now. It's good that we are all here now." Crown Prince Feng Shun shook his head. "We should probably head onwards now. I don't think it is best to wait around. I have a bad feeling." He explained.

"I agree, we've waited for far too long." Lady Kang chimed in.

"Very well, let's get to it then," Lin Mu nodded and took the five iron keys from the Crown Prince.

~CLACK~CLACK~CLACK~

He inserted them into the last circle and turned them, making it light up.

~SHUA~

All the circles of the elevated platform were now lit up as Qi started to flow through it. Everyone was focusing on it ready to act, if something happened while Lin Mu used his Immortal sense to scan it. ~HUALA~

His immortal sense picked up on an Immortal Qi channel from which the Qi seemed to be coming from. He tracked it backwards and found that it ultimately merged into one of the arrays in the fabric of s.p.a.ce.

'Another dead end…' Lin Mu furrowed his brows before closing his eyes.

When he opened them, his Spatial Perception was active once more, and he looked directly past the physical limits of the glowing platform. He soon saw that the flow of Qi was in a specific pattern, as if a formation was currently being manifested.

'This method, though… there is no extended link to the array. It is as if the Qi knows what to do by itself.' Lin Mu thought to himself upon witnessing it.

It was a rather unique thing that was only possible for a few arrays.

'If it can do this, it can only mean one thing… this place has a Formation Spirit!' Lin Mu determined.

While he had a hunch that a large place like the inheritance grounds might need something like that, he didn't have a sure answer. But now he had obtained an answer in a roundabout way. 'But if this place has a formation spirit, it is definitely not a simple one… this is a Celestial's treasure after all.' Lin Mu thought to himself, recalling Lanbao.

The mermaid was the formation spirit of the Deep Sapphire City, which was the home of the Haima tribe. Since the arrays of the entire Deep Sapphire City were on a ma.s.sive scale and were quite complex, a formation spirit had been formed over time.

Lanbao's powers within the city were great too, easily comparing to that of a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal or perhaps even greater.

Lin Mu did not have an exact estimate since he had never actually seen her fight, but with the sheer amount of Immortal Qi she had at her disposal, and also her own abilities granted through the city, it was bound to be great.

'And this place is even beyond that…' Lin Mu wondered just how strong the formation spirit of this place could be. 'It would be at the Celestial level at least, right?' he reckoned.

~HUALA~

And as he was thinking all this, the formation seemed to have completed its working as something changed within it. Faint spatial fluctuation started seeping out of the ground, making Lin Mu alert.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

At the same time, some runes formed in the air above the group before stringing together to form a few words.

'Trial of Patience has been completed.' Watching the sentence, Lin Mu and Lady Kang couldn't help but be surprised and looked at each other.

'It really was about patience.' They said wordlessly.

Though for the others it was a bit scary, since the contents of the trial seemed a bit too different and conflicting with patience.

"One would be tense and unable to think after undergoing hards.h.i.+p… To have patience even after countless hards.h.i.+ps is the true test of patience." Monk Hushu spoke, a look of understanding on his face.

The trial had taken one's patience to another level by tricking them and making them think the trial was about something else. If someone had tried to go ahead despite not having the necessary keys, perhaps things might not have gone well.

"Now that I think about it… The trials were all something we could solve and somewhat suitable for our skills." Lin Mu suddenly realized. "The Trial picked us accordingly." Ziran said. "No wonder this was a trial of patience… the real trial wasn't the Yin Heart Puppets we fight. It was actually the wait for others."
