Upon hearing the words "Enlightenment Stone," no one present could remain calm.
The more exceptional one's talent, the more one understands the value of the Enlightenment Stone.
Especially for Cao Yufei, Lü Qianshan, and Yuan Chonghuan, the intense desire in their eyes was ten times stronger than that of others.
This is because they all possessed martial arts or techniques at the king level or above, and such high-level martial arts and techniques are incredibly difficult for warriors in the Origin Realm to comprehend.
However, once they achieve even a minor understanding, their strength would surge dramatically, giving them a significant advantage over others at the same level.
This is why Cao Yufei and the others traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to Youyun Prefecture to compete for the Enlightenment Stone.
Lin Qiubai's desire for the Enlightenment Stone was even ten times stronger than that of Cao Yufei and his companions because he had deeply experienced the power of quasi-divine level martial arts. He longed to grasp it immediately!
If he could achieve a minor understanding of Blood War in Heaven's Prison, Lin Qiubai's formidable combat power would double again.
A doubling of combat power was an extremely terrifying concept for Lin Qiubai!
At that time, even peak experts in the Origin Realm would find it difficult to gain any advantage against Lin Qiubai.
If he also advanced to the peak of the Origin Realm, other warriors without cultivation suppression before him would be like ants.
He could even contend with experts in the Yuan Dan Realm!
As Lin Qiubai's thoughts raced through his mind, he toyed with the Enlightenment Stone, which was as white as mutton fat jade.
Enlightenment Stone is only the size of a thumb, with blood-red liquid mixed within its white surface. At times, it feels icy cold and at other times, scalding hot, which is quite strange.
After putting five Enlightenment Stones into his pocket, Lin Qiubai showed a contemplative expression: "Five Enlightenment Stones seem insufficient to comprehend Blood Battle in Hell to a minor achievement..."
While Lin Qiubai was deep in thought, the silver Leaderboard behind him displayed the name 'Lin Qiubai' at the top, which was being pulled by an ethereal force, visibly expanding into a golden portal.
【Due to the top score on the Leaderboard exceeding one hundred million, the Central Secret Realm is now open.
Inside the secret realm, there are eight Inheritance Platforms, where one can obtain Spirit Level Mid-Grade to King-Level Mid-Grade Martial Techniques and skills. Those with fate can unlock the secret realm and gain Inheritance.】
The ethereal prompt caused nearly ten thousand Trial Disciples to breathe heavily.
They gazed fervently at the invincible figure standing in the Void.
As long as Lin Qiubai waved his hand, they would rush in like locusts...
【Rule Explanation: The Ethereal Heart Secret Realm only allows the top two hundred from the Leaderboard to enter. The remaining Challengers may leave at their discretion. After five days, the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm will close, and all Challengers will be sent back.】
Upon hearing this, those ranked outside the top two hundred showed despair, and some even wore fierce expressions, unwilling to accept this cruel rule.
A few Trial Disciples shouted angrily and soared into the air, rushing into the portal, but their bodies were instantly eroded by the golden light, turning into nothingness without leaving even ashes behind...
Seeing this, everyone’s expressions grew solemn.
There was indeed a risk to life!
It is known that the Mysterious Cloud Secret Realm rarely experiences fatalities. Every Challenger has the Mysterious Cloud Secret Realm at their disposal; as long as you do not enter a special location, when you are severely injured, you can activate the Mysterious Cloud Secret Realm to successfully escape from the dangerous Trial.
Of course, once the Mysterious Cloud Secret Realm is activated, it means you forfeit the Fortune and rewards of this Trial.
The current situation indicates that while the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm has abundant Inheritance, it also poses life-threatening risks.
The more than two hundred Trial Disciples displayed complex expressions.
The opportunity to obtain Martial Arts or techniques ranging from Spirit Level Mid-Grade to King-Level Medium Quality is a tremendous temptation for them.
However, no matter how rich the rewards are, one must have their life to claim them. Being ranked outside the top two hundred indicates insufficient strength; entering would only mean being a bystander. With this thought, many felt relieved; this rule may seem ruthless, but it actually protects those Challengers who lack strength.
Excluding those in the top two hundred, the remaining Trial Disciples let out a slight sigh, then took out their Mysterious Cloud Secret Realms and activated the devices within, transforming into streams of light that vanished from the square.
As people left, the square instantly became quiet and empty, with dusk beginning to envelop the ancient city at its center.
The setting sun pouring down from the Sky turned the ground golden, especially on the towering Buddha Lotus Platform, which was already shimmering with golden light. Now painted by the sunset, it shone brilliantly—a truly radiant sight!
"Lin Brother, please..."
The crowd showed inquiring expressions; they were eager to enter the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm, but Lin Qiubai remained still, and they did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing this, Lin Qiubai waved his hand and leaped into the golden portal first...
In an instant, it felt as if he had crossed through time and space. Lin Qiubai stood on the ground of the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm.
The scenery before me resembled the Gobi Desert, with gravel underfoot and dry grass turning yellow.
What was once a tranquil space, seemingly frozen in time, stirred slightly with the arrival of outsiders.
The remnants of shattered armor, weathered by time, crumbled to dust at the slightest breeze, turning to ashes. It felt as if I had crossed eons in an instant.
It was quite thought-provoking.
"This is an Ancient Battlefield, cut into a small world and thrown into the Cloud Secret Realm. The so-called Inheritance likely consists of the Martial Arts and techniques left behind by the cannon fodder who died on this battlefield. I suspect that King-Level items are extremely rare; most are probably Spirit Level Mid-Grade inferior Martial Arts."
The weapon spirit expressed considerable disdain.
"However, the level of your techniques is a bit too low; it would be better if they were Quasi-Divine Level."
Lin Qiubai felt embarrassed. Quasi-Divine Level techniques were not easy to find. Even King-Level Low-Grade Cultivation Techniques were rare; at least among his peers, he had yet to see anyone fully cultivate a King-Level Low-Grade Cultivation Technique.
Cao Yufei and the others might not even possess them. At most, they had reached the peak of Spirit-Level Superior, very close to King-Level Lower Grade techniques.
"Let's make do for now; we can plan once we reach Yun Yin Sheng Zong. For now, I want to comprehend Blood Battle in Hell to a minor success."
Comprehending the Quasi-Divine Level Martial Technique Blood Battle in Hell to a minor success was undoubtedly a shortcut to enhancing his strength at this moment.
It's just that... there weren't enough Enlightenment Stones.
As if realizing something, Lin Qiubai suddenly chuckled softly.
The spirit's eyelids twitched violently. Every time it saw that cunning smile, it felt that its master was about to enter a very unreliable state. Something that would provoke the wrath of both gods and men was about to happen.
"You... what do you want to do this time?"
"Calm down, I just thought of something interesting."
Seeing the spirit's terrified expression, Lin Qiubai curled his lips and, after taking a look around, dashed toward a Mountain Valley.
...
"Why are you setting up a Sealing Array? Did you discover some powerful Evil Substance beneath this space?"
As Lin Qiubai arrived in the Mountain Valley, the spirit began to hurriedly arrange the Sealing Array. Two hours passed.
It couldn't help but shiver.
In this Ancient Battlefield, the malevolent energy was dense. Although ten thousand years had passed, one could never be sure if any Evil Substance had truly been born. If there was indeed one, then all two hundred Challengers here would be doomed.
"Can you sense that Evil Substance? What level is it—Yuan Dan Realm or Creation Realm? If it's Creation Realm, we need to run quickly! The Three Thousand Formation won't be able to suppress it!"
The spirit whispered anxiously, its face filled with tension.
