In front of the Ground Fire Heart Palace, over forty Establishnt King-level Masters stared at Ye Zhen, who was enveloped by the red light, as well as the spirit shadow in the sky, whose lips never ceased moving as if speaking. Each one anxiously wished to rush forward and take his place.
Suddenly, amid the red light, Ye Zhen, who was trapped within, vanished into thin air. This scene prompted simultaneous exclamations from the Establishnt Kings.
"He’s disappeared. Where is he?"
"Has Ye Zhen entered the Ground Fire Heart Palace, or was he obliterated?"
"Are you stupid? This looks like ninety percent he went inside. Have you ever seen soone obliterated like this?"
However, within a few breaths, the Establishnt Kings ceased their bickering, each staring at the dissipating red light ahead, fixated on the copper ring Ye Zhen previously touched, their eyes nearly bulging.
As the red light completely dispersed, revealing the enormous copper ring within, the atmosphere at the entrance of the Ground Fire Heart Palace imdiately beca exceedingly tense.
At this mont, everyone understood that the copper ring was the key to entering the seemingly inaccessible Ground Fire Heart Palace. However, with over forty people present, determining who enters, and in what order, was a significant issue.
Nonetheless, among the Establishnt Kings present, each one was ruthless and cunning. Even with Green Sun Palace Master Chu Yang presiding, if anyone dared approach without permission, the attacks from other Establishnt Kings would be inevitable.
Everyone felt that anyone who dared touch the copper ring before the red light settled would surely be simultaneously attacked and killed by the over forty Establishnt Kings.
This stalemate persisted for about a quarter of an hour, when Green Sun Palace Master Chu Yang and others like King Zhenshan could not hold back.
If the stalemate continued, no one would be able to enter, making it most likely beneficial to Ye Zhen, who perhaps had already entered.
"My fellow lords, this stalemate is not a solution. We cannot maintain it for a year or even several years, allowing Ye Zhen to profit for nothing!
My suggestion is to have Palace Master Chu designate soone to attempt an exploration. If sequential entry is possible, we can quickly pass through, thus avoiding wasting ti here!" King Zhenshan proposed.
King Zhenshan himself was quite reputable, and his suggestion was quickly supported by the majority of Establishnt King-level Masters present. After all, none of them were foolish; they clearly understood that if everyone remained steadfast, none would be able to enter. Breaking the impasse was better.
However, deciding who would probe was a challenge!
"Honored to be esteed by my peers, I shall make the decision to directly appoint soone to try! However, Ye Zhen, Lord Ye, has completely lost contact; whether he has entered, or been obliterated, or gone elsewhere, all remain unknown.
Within lies opportunity, but also grave danger. Therefore, the first candidate I appoint is Tang Hui, the Fifth Elder of my Green Sun Palace!"
This appointnt left many Establishnt Kings disgruntled. Of course, there were those who spoke for Chu Yang, claiming his selflessness for leaving danger to his own Sect.
Yet, people like Nian Sijing and Wu Ying scoffed.
Chu Yang blatantly misused his authority under the guise of righteousness.
A typical hypocrite who sets up a monunt after being a bad guy.
However, with the support of King Zhenshan and King of Hengjiang, Green Sun Palace Master Chu Yang’s decision was carried out. After careful instructions, Tang Hui, Green Sun Palace’s Fifth Elder, cautiously touched the copper ring.
Unsurprisingly, similar to Ye Zhen’s previous experience, Tang Hui was also enveloped by a red light, as the blue spirit shadow reappeared.
Once again, the lips moved, repeating the previous scenario, indirectly proving Ye Zhen’s theory that the spirit shadow was rely a Divine Soul Puppet.
After tossing around for half an hour, Green Sun Palace’s Fifth Elder Tang Hui suddenly vanished within the red light, a disappearance that made other Establishnt Kings envious and anxious.
However, before they could act up, Tang Hui’s sowhat somber voice ca from afar, "If my guess isn’t wrong, Ye Zhen has likely already entered the Ground Fire Heart Palace and begun the Martial Arts Legacy Test!"
The nurous Establishnt Kings were shocked, rushing to inquire about the situation in detail.
Perhaps due to so considerations or under Chu Yang’s instruction, Fifth Elder Tang Hui revealed everything he encountered inside, and ultimately his choice was Huoo Wu, who bore a child for the Earth Core Fire Commander.
Then, he was directly transmitted a hundred miles away, failing the test!
And, as the Divine Soul Puppet stated, no matter how Tang Hui acted upon the copper ring again, there was no reaction.
Naturally, Green Sun Palace Master Chu Yang also took the opportunity to boast, bragging about his correct decision and claiming that only his sect’s elder revealed the detailed circumstances; had it been anyone else, it might’ve been different.
After the speech, Chu Yang’s prestige among the Establishnt Kings was further elevated.
Then, the selection of the next candidate ensued.
This ti, Chu Yang did not designate an individual, opting to allow the Establishnt Kings to volunteer themselves. With the truth partially unveiled, there weren’t many volunteer Establishnt Kings.
Who knew which was the correct choice?
If they made the wrong choice, they would miss the chance for treasure hunting!
Moreover, judging by the current situation, it seed the correct choice could be probed.
Of course, a few daring Establishnt King-level Masters were willing to take risks, knowing that if they answered correctly and got to the Martial Arts Legacy Test first, the benefits would be trendous.
After all, the Martial Arts Legacy should be singular!
Swiftly, Chu Yang made the next selection of the Establishnt King to set the copper ring in motion.
However, before this Establishnt King moved the copper ring, the Establishnt Kings present compelled him to swear a venomous Divine Soul Oath!
If he failed the selection and was transmitted out, he must disclose the answer he chose to everyone present, providing reference for the successors!
This was a smart strategy; after one or two probes, the correct answer could be deduced.
In fact, within the last ten thousand years, there were only a hundred and forty-three Martial Artists who joined the Martial Arts Legacy Test in the Ground Fire Heart Palace, among which more than a hundred passed the first round, largely due to this reason.
Perhaps the Ground Fire Heart Commander didn’t foresee that the correct choice could be trialed, and that the Martial Artists were closely connected. When so failed once, losing the qualification to be tested again, they would call upon friends to attempt one by one, allowing many to pass the first round.
Nevertheless, actual trials were not so straightforward.
Following Green Sun Palace’s Fifth Elder Tang Hui, five people tried, yet only one made the correct choice to advance to the next test; the other four failed.
Including Tang Hui, among the five failed answers, the choices ’Junior Sister’, ’Huoo Wu’, and ’Demon Princess’ were cycled twice, yet none passed and were transmitted.
If not constrained by the Divine Soul Oath, the Establishnt Kings present even suspected falsehood.
After so discussions, the Establishnt Kings concluded that the selection may not be single-choice!
When another Establishnt King failed, they acquired the correct answer to pass the first round!
Select all three soulmates, abandon none!
And, this was precisely Ye Zhen’s answer! (Continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote and contribute tickets on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian for reading.)
