Chapter 356: Chapter 159: A New Attack Method.
Chen Qiu stepped into the white vortex and in an instant, he felt a piercing white light flash before his eyes and then found himself in a vast grassland.
There was no one around.
Suspended above the grassland was the spiritual body of an elder who was looking at him rather amiably. Three breaths later, the elder finally spoke.
“The Su Family Inheritance Secret Realm consists of five levels.”
“Once you’ve completed all the levels, you may take my entire inheritance.”
“The first round, question of the heart.”
“Is longevity in one’s heart more important, or is combat power more important?”
Chen Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly and surveyed his surroundings. This was his first time entering an inheritance secret realm prepared by a predecessor. The secret realms he had entered before were all either the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm or adventure secret realms, all governed by the laws of Heavenly Dao.
In an inheritance secret realm, however, the rules were set by the person who had left the inheritance.
After a moment of silence, he softly said,
“Combat power is most important.”
“Oh?” The spiritual body of the elder in the sky chuckled and asked, “Don’t you desire immortality?”
“My obsession with immortality isn’t that strong; whether I have it or not is fine. What matters more to me is whether my enemies can have immortality, and with enough combat power to end their path to immortality. That matters a great deal to me.”
The spiritual body of the elder floating midair laughed, then waved his hand and said, “Congratulations, you’ve passed the first round, proceed to the next level.”
And then on the grassland, two puppets of the same cultivation suddenly appeared.
Defeat them with ease and proceed to the third level.
At the third level, three puppets of the same cultivation appeared on the grassland, easily defeated them, and entered the fourth round.
The fourth round involved five puppets of the same cultivation.
The difficulty went up a notch, but it was just that. After defeating them once again, he entered the fifth level, and by this time, there was only one puppet left in the room.
The Su Family Young Master outside the secret realm stared intently at the puppet in front of Chen Qiu within the screen and muttered to himself, “The greatest test has arrived, and I wonder how Chen Qiu will deal with it.”
The Su Family’s inheritance secret realm was said to have five levels.
In truth, there was only one final level that mattered.
The first round asks about your heart, and regardless of which answer you choose, as long as you are resolute in the path you wish to take, you can pass. As for the second, third, and fourth levels, defeating several puppets of the same level of cultivation is a normal level, and since they are regarded as Heavenly Prides, defeating four or five puppets of the same level of cultivation should be quite simple.
At the same cultivation realm, puppets are far weaker than cultivators.
But the final level, the fifth level, is the true test!
You must completely defeat this puppet to pass the test, but here’s the catch… whether it is swords, spears, or spells, any form of attack that falls on the puppet only heals its injuries and can’t cause harm!
Furthermore, the stronger the attack, the more resilient the puppet becomes.
This is the most perplexing part!
His spells could not damage the puppet but only made it sturdier. Being the Su Family Young Master, he naturally entered this inheritance secret realm many times, but never once did he pass this fifth level.
The Su Family Patriarch, with one hand tucked behind his back, also let out a long sigh filled with helplessness, “The Su Family Ancestor wouldn’t have left us an impossible fifth level. There must be some trick to it; it’s just that we, the later generations, are too dull and haven’t found it yet.”
If they could find a way to pass this fifth level, they would not have let the inheritance secret realm out at all.
It was precisely because they lacked the ability that they reluctantly made it as a favor to others by giving away the secret realm, even if those Heavenly Prides had not cleared the secret realm, they still owed them a favor.
And if someone were to pass, it would be owing them a great favor.
They also tried many methods.
Since their spells only healed the puppet’s injuries and made it more resilient, could they perhaps do the opposite, such as healing the puppet to cause damage?
However… it still didn’t work.
It was utterly useless, whether it was with bare hands or with any other method, as soon as they injured the puppet, it would become stronger and they had no choice but to give up.
Chen Qiu, who was in the vast grassland of the inheritance secret realm, did not hesitate when he saw the puppet appear. He let his spiritual energy surge crazily, with massive dark clouds forming above the grassland as a storm roared in and a thunderball smashed towards the puppet.
Innumerable Thunder Dragons exploded across the grassland with deafening thunder!
After the dust settled,
The puppet stood still, not only unharmed but even coated in a layer of black, evidently more formidable than before!
Chen Qiu’s brow furrowed slightly, puzzled that a mere Golden Core Perfect Cultivation puppet could withstand his full-strength strike without a scratch. His full-strength attack was something that even those early-stage Nascent Soul Yuan Sect Elders could not endure.
But he didn’t dwell on it.
He teleported in the air for hundreds of breaths, and once his spiritual energy recovered, accompanied by countless more deafening sounds, tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons smashed down at the puppet!
The puppet was still completely unharmed. He could feel that the puppet had resisted his attacks, but it had not been injured. Moreover, with the increasing intensity of his spell attacks, the puppet had become even more durable.
Chen Qiu got a bit temperamental, immediately opened up the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to go full force. He refused to believe it!
A hundred breaths later, once his spiritual energy was fully restored, he continued!
