It was very difficult.
Getting close to the stone tablet might still be possible, but to bind the stone tablet, he would have to make contact with it, and the stone tablet would undergo an obvious mutation.
At such close range, he would definitely be discovered.
There were so many God Clan guards inside the Holy Court, and even elders he had seen before.
This was troubleso.
Fang Heng abandoned the idea of taking action.
He would look for another opportunity.
The Netherworld had various temples, and hell had countless hell altars. Following this pattern, the divine realm's temple stone tablets were certainly not limited to the single one he had seen.
There was no need to rush. There was still ti, and he could look for a breakthrough elsewhere.
At the very least, this trip had allowed him to roughly figure out the pathway for advancing holy power.
Let's go.
Although the temple provided power of faith, it ultimately could not be absorbed and converted into sacred study experience points. Staying inside the temple had no aning.
Moreover, the gazes secretly watching him were becoming increasingly blatant.
Had he been discovered?
This place was not suitable to linger in.
With that thought, Fang Heng exited the temple.
The several hidden gazes watching Fang Heng saw him leave, exchanged glances, nodded lightly, and followed him out of the temple together.
...
"Please wait."
Just as Fang Heng left the temple, he heard a voice from behind. He slowly turned his head and looked at the person approaching.
"Brother, leaving so soon?"
Fang Heng focused his gaze on the handso youth who spoke to him.
Judging from the other party's attire, he was a young mber of the God Clan who had co to participate in the trial.
"What do you want?"
"Don't be so cold, friend."
The God Clan youth grinned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have already reached the peak of your disciplines, so you're not interested in power of faith, right?"
Fang Heng adopted an aloof attitude and said, "Get to the point."
Several more people strode out of the temple and lined up behind the youth.
"Then I'll be direct. We're about to challenge a trial, and our team is still short one person. How about it, would you consider joining us?"
Fang Heng fell silent, quickly calculating in his mind.
A trial?
He had indeed heard elders ntion it before. This was a trial, but he knew nothing about it, and his current identity was disguised.
The risk was extrely high.
"You should have heard my na. I'm Ethan. This team was personally ford by . We've observed you for so ti. Your abilities are quite good. Join our team, pass the trial together, and formally join the God Court."
Fang Heng noticed more and more people around the square turning their attention toward them, and he frowned inwardly.
Being observed by too many people was not a good thing.
"Hey."
A taller God Clan youth behind Ethan flashed forward and erged in front of Fang Heng. With a fierce expression, he raised his sacred warhamr and stared viciously at Fang Heng.
"My boss is talking to you. Are you mute? Either you join, or you fight !"
"Fine, I'll join."
Fang Heng answered concisely. After speaking, he nodded lightly, hid his face beneath his hood, and stepped aside.
"Tch, you should've said so earlier."
Gu Er was montarily stunned and imdiately felt Fang Heng was boring, with no guts at all. He snorted and slung the sacred warhamr back onto his shoulder.
"Welco aboard."
One thin-faced teammate in the group greeted Fang Heng.
Fang Heng only nodded lightly, maintaining an indifferent deanor while secretly observing.
It was roughly as he had guessed. The trial participants were not familiar with one another.
Moreover, judging from their auras, these young trial participants were far weaker than the God Clan mbers like Xius he had encountered before.
There was still a significant gap between the God Clan's reserve forces and their formal teams.
He could follow this team for now, observe the situation, and look for a chance to leave.
"If everyone is ready, then let's depart."
Seeing no objections, Ethan nodded lightly and led everyone toward another square on the side of the temple.
His status was noble, as he belonged to a royal branch of the God Clan.
Although he was from a collateral bloodline, his talent was exceptional. Before the age of twenty, he had already awakened the Eye of God.
The Eye of God possessed so scouting ability. Earlier, inside the Temple of Faith, he had used it to inspect everyone and discovered that Fang Heng carried a strong aura of holy power.
Among the God Clan, very few peers could cultivate the power of faith to such a level.
That was why Ethan had recruited Fang Heng into the team.
The trial team walked toward a squad of God Clan guards not far from the square.
The captain of the guard squad looked at Ethan and his group, nodded lightly, and said, "Ethan, is this the team you assembled?"
"Yes. The Ethan team is applying for training."
"Mm. This will be your first true training. I wish you good luck."
The guard knew Ethan was from a royal branch of the God Clan. As for the other trial participants, he did not care much and certainly did not suspect that an outsider had mixed into Ethan's team. He lifted his hand lightly toward the two guards beside him.
The two guards imdiately lifted their scepters and crossed them in midair.
"Buzz..."
A teleportation passage appeared.
Fang Heng felt a trace of doubt.
A two-way teleportation passage.
Was it leading to the trial area?
"Let's go."
Ethan, looking extrely confident, led the team into the passage and disappeared to the other side.
...
On the other side of the teleportation gate.
The mbers of Ethan's team passed through the teleportation passage one by one and entered the trial area.
Endless yellow sand filled the sky, obscuring part of their vision.
Fang Heng raised his head and could faintly see the blurred silhouette of a temple in the distant desert.
A temple?
Fang Heng's heart stirred.
What a coincidence.
He had just been thinking about finding a temple, and one was delivered right to him.
Could the assessnt be related to the temple?
"Hm?"
Fang Heng looked again at the land ahead, shrouded in sand and dust, and frowned slightly.
An aura of death?
He could actually sense a coiled aura of death within the sand!
Gu Er, carrying the giant hamr, squinted at Fang Heng and asked, "Hey, newbie, we still don't know your na."
Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the sand and said calmly, "Zane."
"Never heard of you."
Gu Er shook his head and paid little attention to it.
Many God Clan mbers were signing up for trials. Zane might be from so small place. It was normal not to have heard of him.
Nearby, another God Clan woman in the team asked, "Zane, what's your role in team combat? What are you good at?"
"Nothing in particular. Fairly balanced."
"Alright then. Later, a few of us will take the front. You stay on the side and prepare to support."
Gu Er did not take Fang Heng seriously. As he spoke, he swung his sacred warhamr and took the lead, advancing step by step toward the temple ahead.
Ethan signaled with his eyes for two teammates to follow Gu Er.
"Ka, ka ka ka..."
As the sand beneath their feet trembled slightly, several skeletal warriors wielding white bone blades crawled out of the flowing sand and quickly moved toward Gu Er.
"Heh!"
Gu Er grew excited and swung his sacred warhamr with full force toward the cluster of skeletal creatures.
