"So, he definitely won't let us waste the opportunity!" Ye Haifei spoke clearly and firmly.
Beside him, Ye Xuefan couldn't help but nod in approval.
"Actually, we've already passed two stages. Loose cultivators of great power love to test; the first was the mountain gate, this should be the second, and there's a third inside. This True Monarch of Five Elements is seeking inheritors, not just gifting treasures for us to play with!" After finishing, Ye Haifei also looked at Ye Jingcheng, indicating for him to take the challenge.
Here, the one with the highest talent was Ye Jingcheng, and he was also the one cultivating the five elements.
"Jingcheng should be the most suitable, go straight in!" Ye Xuefan also turned to Ye Jingcheng at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded, as per the analysis of his family's elder, indicating he indeed was the most suitable.
After all, the True Monarch of Five Elements released three Spirit Palace Spirit Diagrams, signifying this was ready.
Moreover, being the True Monarch Dojo implies it's a teaching dojo.
So there should be no danger.
"After this fire furnace, there should be more challenges, be careful!" Ye Xuefan added.
Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this, feeling the appreciation like having an invaluable elder at home.
His smooth progress was closely tied to having many elders in the Ye Family.
As Ye Jingcheng walked into the square, indeed, the Pill Furnace didn't move an inch, but the Treasure Diagram in the sky suddenly dimmed in a spot.
Clearly, as Ye Haifei mentioned, there were only three chances!
Ye Jingcheng didn't consider collecting the Pill Furnace, although he very much desired it.
After all, the Celestial Bell Furnace was only Tier Two Top-Grade, while this was a Tier Three High-Grade Pill Furnace.
The ash within might be even an Exotic Treasure.
But this treasure is the key to the challenge, should you disturb it, uncontrollable situations might occur.
It's naturally not suitable to move now.
Ye Jingcheng quickly passed by the Pill Furnace, and upon passing through, it seemed the world had changed, entering a new Illusion Realm!
In front of him, surprisingly, was the Five Elements World.
The first world was the land of volcanoes, everywhere was scorching lava; an iron stone or two dropped into the lava, and before half a breath could pass, they melted into slag, emitting only a thin wisp of green smoke.
Momentarily, Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat bewildered, unsure how to pass this stage.
Moreover, he looked at his wrist where both the Spirit Beast Bracelet and Storage Bracelet had vanished.
This indicated reliance solely on himself.
Boom!
And at this moment, across him suddenly appeared a cultivator's Spirit Shadow, performing the Fire Snake Skill.
This Fire Snake Skill was extremely exquisite, derived from magma, burning the earth.
Furthermore, the Fire Snake Skill was imbued with charisma, distinctly different from ordinary Fire Snake Skill, exhibiting hundreds of transformations midair and boasting frighteningly high temperatures.
This caused Ye Jingcheng's brow to furrow; the power of this Fire Snake Skill was surely formidable.
He started gathering magic, wanting to fend it off.
However, surprisingly, the fire snake did not attack him, instead returning to the magma.
Moreover, within the magma, it swam like a dragon, coagulating without dispersing!
"Imitating magic?" Ye Jingcheng was briefly stunned, surmising inwardly.
Immediately, he began performing the Fire Snake Skill.
He utilized the True Essence of the Red Flame Fox, mastering fire manipulation exceedingly well.
Quickly, he reproduced the Fire Snake Skill, directing it toward the magma.
Although unable to reach the Spirit Shadow's full level, it was sufficient to achieve eighty to ninety percent.
Any other cultivator would certainly need specialization in Fire Techniques to accomplish this.
And, unsurprisingly, the scene wholly transformed, fire light vanished, anew appeared a cerulean sky and an endless Spirit Lake.
He stood atop the Spirit Lake, surrounded by waves.
Not long after, another Spirit Shadow appeared above the Spirit Lake.
This time, it demonstrated the Water Escape Skill; the Spirit Shadow swiftly crossed the lake, leaving behind only some blue afterimages.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng felt the challenge was borderline simple.
Not only had he cultivated the Four Phases and communicated with Five Beasts, but he'd also learned the Four Elements Secret Technique.
Though thinking this, Ye Jingcheng remained extremely cautious, meticulously mirroring the Spirit Shadow!
He performed the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon's Communication Beast, immediately gathering Water Phase True Essence, and with a Spirit Technique executed, transformed into a blue Spiritual Light, swiftly traversing the lake.
...
The scene changed once more, this time involving the Wood Element's Wood Vine Skill, catalyzing the most complex Dragon Vine Wood.
The Dragon Vine Wood seed is the hardest for Wood Element cultivators to catalyze.
Yet for Ye Jingcheng, this remained excessively simple.
He even felt capable of catalyzing using Treasure Light.
Subsequently came the Earth Phase's Cloud Shield Technique, and Gold Phase's Golden Sword Skill World.
Ye Jingcheng overcame all using Communication Beast's True Essence.
He appeared on the square again, glancing back to find Ye Haifei and others unexpectedly watching him.
As if puzzled why Ye Jingcheng lingered so long.
Ye Jingcheng didn't speak, but he had finally passed the stage.
Moreover, it seemed to him the True Monarch of Five Elements was selecting disciples to impart Five Elements Technique.
This triggered a sudden concern.
If true, he was worried there might be no method inside to augment the Golden Spirit Root.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't set such a challenge.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't fathom how, besides himself, there'd be several non-Five Spirit Roots able to pass this stage.
After pondering briefly, Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
Given circumstances, discussing further was meaningless; pass the challenge and acquire the inheritance first.
Ye Jingcheng continued towards the palace, this time he led in opening the grand doors, beyond them revealing three arch portals.
These three portals weren't closed but were open.
Ye Jingcheng could see within each portal, there were halls, each holding its own treasures.
The leftmost chamber was a meditation hall, the first thing seen was an Eight Immortals Table, upon which sat three Jade Talismans, along with an ordinary idol!
Each Jade Talisman was enveloped by a Spirit Shield.
Before the table, there was a Zafu and an Incense Burner.
The central portal housed a row of wooden shelves, glowing with multiple colors, undoubtedly many Magical Treasures, clearly a treasure storage hall.
And the rightmost hall was even more mysterious.
Similarly, inside was an Eight Immortals Table, also containing an Incense Burner, a Zafu, and scrolls on both ends.
On the Eight Immortals Table were three Jade Boxes, emitting a rich fragrance of Spirit Medicine within, and also burning sandalwood incense.
Surely there were Exotic Treasures inside.
One Jade Box was transparent, Ye Jingcheng glimpsed within the shimmering Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.
At that moment, he speculated if among them there might be a Gold Condensing Pill.
Ye Jingcheng observed intently; all three halls were undoubtedly immensely abundant treasure halls.
Like corresponding to three Treasure Diagrams.
Ye Jingcheng was momentarily puzzled, could this be the True Monarch of Five Elements, for one to choose a hall?
And in the next instant, three Spirit Puppets appeared before the arch portals.
The aura of these Spirit Puppets wasn't strong, only in the Late Stage of Tier Two.
At least in Ye Jingcheng's view, easy dealings.
Ye Jingcheng, without any surprise, chose the cultivation technique inheritance on the left.
Regardless of the True Monarch of Five Elements' intent, attaining the inheritance took precedence.
Tier Four Spiritual Treasures, Tier Five Treasures, even Gold Condensing Pills, were somewhat distant to him.
Only by supplementing his Golden Spirit Root, achieving completeness of the Five Phases, was his most urgent concern.
He wielded the Cyan Hong Sword, effortlessly slicing the puppet in half.
...
While Ye Jingcheng cleaved the puppet, outside the Red Algae Sea, Master Qing Hu arrived with a beautiful female cultivator on the island.
"It's right here!" Master Qing Hu sensed briefly, then spoke.
Shortly, he produced a Cyan Spirit Origin Mirror, and shone it upon the island.
Instantly, the scene of Ye Haifei and the Cyan Sky Shadow entering the Mini World was reflected on the mirror.
"Judging from this situation, they should be trapped; otherwise, my Flame Fox wouldn't be so anxious!"
"It's regrettable being cut off by a Mini World, otherwise the Flame Fox could transmit to me."
"Moreover, the Cyan Sky Shadow's Soul Talisman is at headquarters; otherwise, we could rely on it for judgment!" The beautiful female cultivator also shook her head, looking regretful.
"No need for regrets, it's timely for us to enter and conclude!" Master Qing Hu nodded.
