Wang Yue excitedly waved her little arm.
"I probably haven't been here before, but it seems like I've seen this stone statue somewhere, just knowing its secret."
Young Lady Yaoyao shook her head.
"Could it be that the woman inside the statue is someone related to you?"
Wang Ying suddenly asked.
Young Lady Yaoyao trembled slightly, a flash of light in her eyes. She wanted to say something but couldn't grasp that fleeting inspiration.
Instead, she felt somewhat pained: "My head really hurts!"
"Yaoyao, don't think about anything anymore!"
Yang Tian hurriedly comforted Young Lady Yaoyao.
Young Lady Yaoyao nodded, paused for a moment, then said: "Yang, go ahead and place the statue inside the coffin. At the end, a powerful beam of light will shoot straight up; anyone hit by it must undergo a test, only those who pass can enter the 2nd Layer Continent. Those who fail will be sent out of this continent!"
Everyone was in an uproar upon hearing this.
"To enter the 2nd Layer Continent from the first, there's actually a test?"
"Oh my god, doesn't that mean many of us won't be able to pass the test?"
"But we only have Bronze Magical Treasures now. These treasures can't stir any waves in a big city, and still can't change our fate!"
"I don't want to leave, I want to stay!"
Everyone became anxious.
Yang Tian glanced at Wang Ying and the others, also feeling a bit tense.
Afraid that when the test comes, even Wang Ying and the others won't be able to pass.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"
Yang Tian said, and then placed the statue inside the coffin.
As the coffin lid closed, the entire coffin emitted powerful light; everyone was bathed in a white glow that was too intense to keep their eyes open.
"The test has begun!"
Young Lady Yaoyao's voice sounded.
Almost the next second, a voice of agony rang out as a man brushed by the light instantly vanished, already left here.
Not just him, other men and women were also swept by the light and disappeared inside the stone cavern.
In such a scene, the original group of over three hundred dwindled by a hundred, leaving the remaining fiercely resisting the powerful and terrifying light.
"Big brother, I feel terrible..."
Wang Yue was now crying out in pain.
Yang Tian was anxious and instinctively hugged Wang Yue.
But the light on Wang Yue continued to gather, at once her fair small hands suddenly disappeared.
"Big brother, think of a way, I don't want to leave here, boohoo..."
Wang Yue cried out loud.
Yang Tian was also anxious, grasping at straws, waving his hand, he cast a Divine Talisman, and instantly, the vanishing light around Wang Yue stalled.
"Yang, use the Serenity Divine Talisman!"
Young Lady Yaoyao quickly suggested.
Yang Tian nodded, flipped his hand and cast several Serenity Divine Talismans onto Wang Ying and the others.
Those subjected to the test gradually recovered under the effect of the Serenity Divine Talisman.
Young Lady Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, you seem to know everything!"
Wang Yue wiped the tears from her eye corner.
"I only know this much, pass the test, and you can enter the 2nd Layer Continent, as well as the third and fourth layers..."
Young Lady Yaoyao said.
"There are third and fourth continents too?"
"There should be nine continents, the higher you ascend, the more advanced the treasures and resources become!" Young Lady Yaoyao paused, saying, "This is all I know."
After saying this, Young Lady Yaoyao quietly gazed at the statue inside the coffin.
Wang Yue wanted to ask something but was already pulled back by Wang Ying: "Yueyue, don't disturb Yaoyao!"
Wang Yue nodded. Follow current novels on novel fire.net
Yang Tian, seeing Young Lady Yaoyao quietly looking at the statue in the coffin, couldn't help but ask: "Yaoyao, is the woman depicted in the statue related to you?"
"Not sure..." Young Lady Yaoyao shook her head and then suddenly said: "I just feel this statue is somewhat eerie..."
Yang Tian wondered if Yaoyao had discovered something.
Seeing Young Lady Yaoyao frowning, looking melancholy, Yang Tian didn't disturb her anymore.
He looked around, the test light was about to end, out of three hundred people, a hundred and twenty were gone, and now, on Wu Xian, Lan Ning, and Huang Hong's side, a black vortex appeared.
He probed it with his Divine Sense, his face darkened.
In the black vortex, Wang Jie's voice echoed through the void beside Wu Xian, Lan Ning, and Huang Hong: "You three listen, I am your elder, it was us who sent you here!"
Wu Xian, Lan Ning, and Huang Hong hurriedly bowed.
"Don't alarm Yang Tian!" Wang Jie's voice came again from the black vortex: "Originally, we had no chance to enter here, but a tunnel suddenly opened in the void, with people being pushed out one after another; thus, we manifested a soul through the tunnel, our souls became weak, needing to attach to you to find superior treasures to recover!"
Hearing this, Yang Tian's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jie and the others seized the opportunity to send their souls in.
"Elder, we three will follow your orders!"
The voices of Wu Xian, Lan Ning, and Huang Hong sounded respectfully.
"Don't be anxious, our souls are merely entering your bodies, the Continent Guardian has instructed, killing isn't possible here, so you're safe!"
With this, Wang Jie's voice faded out.
Yang Tian saw three souls fly out from the black vortex, falling respectively on Wu Xian and the others.
But these three souls were somewhat weak.
Yang Tian's eyes flashed with killing intent, he wanted to kill.
Yet then, the entire stone cavern started rotating, ascending along the Light Ladder towards the 2nd Layer Continent.
Yang Tian glanced around at the situation, then calmed down.
Killing wasn't possible here, even if a fight broke out, Yang Tian couldn't use force to destroy Wu Xian and the others, or it would violate the Continent Guardian's rules.
So Yang Tian needed to think of a way to eliminate Wang Jie and the others' souls.
Yang Tian wasn't in a hurry.
He wanted to see if Wang Jie came in seeking Wang Lingzhan!
Perhaps Yang Tian could use their power to find Wang Lingzhan.
So, Yang Tian settled down.
A beam of light radiated from the coffin, forming an Array on the stone cavern ground, carrying everyone along the Light Ladder to the 2nd Layer Continent.
Everything was calm; everyone was anticipating.
Young Lady Yaoyao suddenly reached out, pressing on the coffin lid.
With a roar, the next second, the Array halted.
Everyone appeared on a blood-red land.
Everyone became excited.
"We need to wait here for an hour until our bodies adapt to the 2nd Layer Continent's atmosphere, then we can go find treasures!"
Young Lady Yaoyao said.
Everyone listened without questioning, quietly waiting, but at this moment Young Lady Yaoyao suddenly pulled Yang Tian aside, whispering: "Yang, there's something important to tell you before entering the 2nd Layer Continent..."
"The reason the stone statue is eerie is that there's a living person inside it!"
