However, after waiting for a long time, the black well was still quiet and there was no movement.
Just as PEI Ling was having doubts in his heart, a strong suction force suddenly came from the bottom of the black well.
He had no power to resist and was instantly dragged down the well with his saber.
Darkness flashed past his eyes, and very quickly, the scene changed. PEI Ling discovered that he had arrived in a vast and empty Valley.
This Valley was the same as the outside of the White Palace. What entered his eyes was a desolate and silent place that had been weathered into sand. There were broken stone pillars, broken statues, and long steps that were on the verge of death ... PEI Ling only had to move slightly, and the air currents that he stirred up would cause them to collapse into sand in an instant.
Looking around, he suddenly raised his head and walked up the White pillar. What he had originally used as a pillar was the legs of a giant.
It was as tall as a mountain, and even if PEI Ling looked up to the extreme, he could only see its lower jaw and could not see its general appearance.
The giant sat on a large white Throne. This throne was engraved with the images of the hundred races, and on both sides of the throne were smaller white seats. These seats were engraved with the images of a single foreign race, and they were all empty at this moment. They were bathed in the dim yellow light and exuded an ancient and desolate aura.
At the foot of the giant, there was a long table that could allow a human to run on it.
On the long table, there were some miscellaneous items.
These things were dark and lusterless, as if they were just some worthless junk. However, when PEI Ling's divine sense swept over them, it was just like the black well from before. If one did not see them with the naked eye, one would not be able to detect their existence.
PEI Ling carefully sized up the giant skeleton in front of him. This skeleton should be the owner of this ancient site.
However, the other party was already a skeleton. He must have been dead for tens of thousands of years ...
Immediately after, his gaze fell on those dark objects. He immediately realized that these were the treasures needed for the historic site mission.
The target of the mission was right in front of him, but PEI Ling did not approach it rashly. Instead, he summoned his puppets and vengeful spirits to Scout the way. He had them circle the long table a few times and walk a few rounds on it. After ensuring that there was no danger, he walked towards the giant's feet.
Halfway there, a powerful aura suddenly came from the giant's body!
This aura was extremely ancient, and it clearly revealed a sense of decay.
However, there was an indescribable gloominess in the decay.
PEI Ling immediately stopped. He looked at the giant's skeleton and immediately guessed that this was the will left behind by the giant!
This ancient site was already in ruins.
The other party's skeleton had been sitting here for God knows how long.
However, the will that remained was still substantial, dense and heavy, making one's blood run cold.
PEI Ling immediately used the [ cicada breath technique ] to hide all the aura around him. At the same time, he took out the virtual sky World seed and prepared to escape at any time.
At this moment, two blood-red flames lit up in the giant's eye sockets. It was as if the former battle King had opened his eyes and returned to the world.
"Kneel down." His lower jaw opened and closed, and a voice filled with dignity and authority, which could not be resisted, thundered.
Hearing this, PEI Ling instantly understood that the [ cicada's breath ] was useless against the giant's will.
The other party's cultivation base was many levels higher than his.
Even if there was only a wisp of will left, it was not something he could contend with at the moment.
PEI Ling's brows were tightly furrowed. In the current situation, if he didn't kneel, he might die. He didn't have any other choice!
However, he was currently doing a core disciple mission, so there might be higher-ups of the Zhong gang sect watching him in the dark.
The Zhong gang sect was not like the glazed tile Empire. As a proud Son of Heaven of the human race, it was absolutely a taboo to kneel to a foreign race in order to survive!
Back when he won the outer sect competition, there were 10 core formation cultivators from the 10 races who knelt down to congratulate him. At that time, the supervising Division Head encouraged him in front of everyone and said that he wanted him to follow in the footsteps of the ancestors of glory sect and continue to enslave all the races, slaughter the world, and spread the glory sect's name. Chapter 230 of the first volume!
From this, one could see the attitude of the heavy iron sect towards the foreign tribes.
To sum it up, it could be summed up in two words-enslavement.
That's right, the journey before this had been too easy. It wasn't as difficult as he had imagined, with only a narrow escape.
Obviously, that was just the prelude. The scene before them was the true test of the core disciples 'mission!
He must not kneel now!
At the thought of this, PEI Ling took a deep breath and straightened his back. He said in a tone that was neither haughty nor humble, " &Quot; I am PEI Ling, a disciple of the Zhong gang sect. Greetings, senior. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you. &Quot;
The giant's will heard this and was silent for a few breaths. Suddenly, a powerful and unparalleled force descended.
PEI Ling instantly felt his shoulders sink, as if in an instant, ten thousand mountains were pressing down on his body!
With his current cultivation, he could not withstand such a huge force at all. In an instant, he was forced to kneel on the ground. His skin cracked, his blood vessels popped out, and blood spurted out!
PEI Ling instantly felt that something was wrong. Then, he heard the giant's will speak again like thunder, " "I'll give you a chance to live now."
※※※
The Zhong gang sect.
Deep within the inspection Hall.
The four of them looked at the scene in the crystal mirror.
The blood-colored blade Qi was slowly retracted. PEI Ling had successfully defeated the last member of the foreign race.
Li Wuding was immediately relieved. The overall situation had been decided. Now, he only needed to guard against su clan's attack!
Just as he was about to speak, the scene in the painting changed and PEI Ling was pulled into a dim Yellow Valley.
"I wonder what PEI Ling will choose?" Upon seeing this, si Hongyan asked curiously.
The battle King of the count dragon clan had left behind many treasures, but after all these years of opening the historical site, there wasn't much left.
Of course, the three clans knew what those treasures were.
Now, no matter which one PEI Ling chose, it would not affect his status as a successor disciple.
However, the ten-year deadline for this core disciple mission had ended so quickly that si Hongyan could not help but feel bored. He pushed the teacup in front of him and suggested with a smile, " shall we make a bet? "
"Alright, I'll bet on him ... Hmm?" li Wuding was stunned.
The supervising Hall Master also frowned and formed hand seals. Layers of ripples appeared in the crystal mirror, but after a while, PEI Ling still stood at the same spot without moving.
Li Wuding immediately frowned. Si Hongyan and su Yingya also felt that something was wrong.
The palace master's expression was grave and stern as he once again cast a series of hand seals. He wanted to adjust the angle of the image and find out the reason. However, no matter how he urged, the crystal mirror still maintained the scene of PEI Ling entering the valley. It did not move at all and there were no changes.
Seeing this scene, li Wuding's face suddenly darkened. It was not that PEI Ling did not move, but the scene was frozen!
The dark bead that PEI Ling was carrying was a set with the myriad transformation Dark Union mirror, the most precious treasure of the monitoring Hall. It was also used by the monitoring Hall to witness the entire process of the other party's promotion to the position of core disciple, to ensure the fairness of the selection of core disciples and that there would not be any imposters.
But now, the dark bead's connection with the myriad transformation Dark Union mirror had been cut off!
Realizing this, li Wuding's brows furrowed. Without saying anything, he quickly stood up and left.
Su Yingya's eyes narrowed. She seemed to have thought of something, so she stood up and left as well.
Soon, only the hall Master and Si Hongyan were left in the hall.
The two of them had no intention of joining in the fun. They continued to sit on the futon, looking at the still picture in the crystal mirror.
