Zhou Xingyuan gradually began to trust it, following its guidance to quickly complete one trial after another.
Along the way, he even obtained a Geng tal Divine Thunder that was hidden beneath the city.
"Guide, why did we go through all this trouble to find this thing? What’s it for?"
"Because out there, a greedy thief is already stealing the treasures in the Traveling Palace. When the ti cos, you will use this Divine Thunder to blast him to smithereens."
Zhou Xingyuan was secretly overjoyed to hear this.
The Guide had given him so many rewards, yet it was still worried about his safety.
It hadn’t just pushed him to face an enemy. On the contrary, it had even prepared the Geng tal Divine Thunder for him in advance—sothing even a Golden Core True Man would be wary of.
He was now beginning to believe that he had truly been chosen by the Traveling Palace to be its Inheritor.
In truth, he was overthinking things.
The Artifact Spirit simply knew from mory fragnts that Zhou Xingyuan was no match for Xiao Chen on his own.
So, it had no choice but to find a way for him to obtain an additional thod of attack.
According to the original plan, there were eighteen trials within this city to screen for a qualified Inheritor.
The entire selection process was supposed to take about three to six days.
But now, with the Artifact Spirit helping him cheat, Zhou Xingyuan completed all the trials in just half a day and opened the exit to the Earth Palace.
He then saw the Golden Coffin with its lid open, and sitting inside was Xiao Chen, his upper body exposed.
Even though he was a Demon Cultivator, that face was no stranger to him.
He subconsciously whipped out a Defensive Magic Shield and backed away to give himself ti to react.
He had to be on his highest alert when facing a Fake Pill Cultivator.
"Don’t be afraid! Take out the Geng tal Divine Thunder and finish him!"
The Artifact Spirit’s voice rang out at once. "Quickly! New intruders are about to get in."
Its voice carried a hint of urgency.
The new intruders were, in fact, the Golden Core True n outside who were trying to break into the Traveling Palace.
During the half-day it took Zhou Xingyuan to complete the trials, the attempts to break in from the outside had never ceased.
Thus, the Artifact Spirit was running out of ti.
Once the Golden Core True n arrived, any attempt to seize a body would be a fool’s errand.
Hearing this, Zhou Xingyuan imdiately took the Geng tal Divine Thunder from his Storage Bag.
However, before he could use it, he heard a command.
"Stay right where you are. Don’t move, and I’ll let you live."
Xiao Chen’s eyes snapped open. "You dare disturb my cultivation? Then today is the day you die."
Although he was absorbing the Yellow Springs Fiend, his Divine Sense had been monitoring his surroundings the entire ti.
Seeing Zhou Xingyuan’s movent, he imdiately issued a warning.
The main reason was that Xiao Chen had just reached the critical mont of condensing the Yin Water Seal and was reluctant to stop midway.
If he were interrupted, he would have to spend several hours condensing it all over again.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xingyuan did not seize the opportunity.
RUMBLE!
A flash of golden light flared, and a torrent of golden Divine Thunder instantly engulfed Xiao Chen.
When the light dissipated, only a shallow layer of the Yellow Springs Fiend remained in the coffin.
"Guide, where did he go? He’s gone!"
"Hmph. The Geng tal Divine Thunder is one of the Five Elents True Thunders. It’s only natural that not even a trace of a re Foundation Establishnt Cultivator would be left behind."
The Artifact Spirit sneered, then began to coax him. "Next, lie down in the coffin as I instruct you..."
By now, Zhou Xingyuan had co to almost completely trust the so-called Guide.
He obediently lay down in the coffin.
A mont later, a Spiritual Light flashed across his body, repelling the scourge of the Yellow Springs Fiend. Then, he stood up from the coffin, his movents slightly clumsy.
"How strange... So this is what it feels like to have a body?"
SQUELCH!
The Donghua Thunder Sword, crackling with electricity, pierced through his chest.
"You’re not dead? How can that be..."
Before it could finish, Xiao Chen swung his sword again and lopped off its head. "I was going to let you live, but you just had to waste my ti."
The Geng tal Divine Thunder was indeed powerful, but the Blade of Night had perford its function flawlessly.
He then sat back down in the coffin and resud condensing the Yin Water Seal.
Fortunately, this ti, there were no more interruptions.
Six hours later, he successfully ford a Yin Water Seal within his Dantian.
’Not bad. With this, my chances of successfully reaching Core Formation have increased by another ten percent.’
Xiao Chen gazed inward at his Dantian and nodded in satisfaction.
