"Young Master Zhao didn’t pass the illusion array test?"
"It seems his ntal state cultivation is lacking!"
"As the Young Master of Lingtian Pavilion, yet..."
A series of whispers arose in the corridor, with everyone looking at Zhao Tianming in the stone chamber with a hint of contempt in their eyes.
The ntal state is the foundation of cultivation; without it, one cannot step into higher realms.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several more figures appeared in the stone chamber, and five people in succession did not pass the illusion array test.
"I don’t believe it!"
Zhao Tianming roared in a fit of rage, and once more stepped into the corridor.
"Wait a mont!"
A shout rang out, Yun Tao turned and sternly said, "Young Master Zhao, please don’t step within three ters of my junior brother, wait a bit before entering the illusion array again."
"Wait for what? He’s cultivating..."
Zhao Tianming spoke angrily, but as he noticed Jiang Chen’s state, he was struck with a sudden shock and exclaid, "Enlightennt!?"
In an instant, a surge of extre imbalance flooded Zhao Tianming’s heart.
He himself hadn’t even passed the illusion array, yet Jiang Chen achieved enlightennt?
This... why?
Zhao Tianming’s eyes turned green with envy, his face darkened imnsely, and he was about to charge at Jiang Chen.
"Protector! Anyone who approaches Young Master Jiang, kill without rcy!"
A loud shout echoed.
Swish!
A cultivator at Mid Divine Infant Realm, who did not pass the illusion array, leapt to a position three ters behind Jiang Chen, staring straight at Zhao Tianming.
"Chen Jingxuan, what do you an? Are you trying to stop us from retaking the illusion array test?"
Zhao Tianming’s face changed, and he shouted loudly.
Blocking his way was a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the shout had co from Chen Jingxuan standing by Yun Tao’s side.
"Zhao Tianming, you can wait before retaking the illusion array test!"
Chen Jingxuan spoke sternly.
"Why should we wait? Do you intend to enter the tomb and take the treasures first?"
Zhao Tianming shouted again.
"You are courting death!"
Yun Tao’s expression turned completely cold, exuding an imposing murderous intent, and stared at Zhao Tianming, "Once my junior brother finishes cultivating, I will eagerly witness the abilities of the Young Master of Lingtian Pavilion!"
"You..."
Zhao Tianming’s face changed, a flicker of panic appeared in his eyes.
"Young Master Yun, aren’t your words a bit too much? Are you trying to force the Young Master of Lingtian Pavilion out of the tomb?"
A Lingtian Pavilion cultivator who passed the illusion array spoke in a deep voice.
At this ti, eleven people had passed the illusion array.
Jiang Chen, Yun Tao brothers, Chen Jingxuan, and a Divine Infant Realm Peak expert of the Heavenly Sword Sect from Lingtian Pavilion, a Divine Infant Realm Peak sword cultivator had passed, one from a small faction alliance, one from Wuyou Island, a Divine Infant Realm Peak sword cultivator from the Wu Family had also passed the illusion array, and Canghai rchant Association had passed along with Pang Guang and two others.
Pang Guang’s cultivation was at the Mid Divine Infant Realm, the other two were at the Late Divine Infant Realm, their Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator did not pass the illusion array test.
"Li Liang, stop pretending to be ignorant here."
Chen Jingxuan glared angrily at the Divine Infant Realm Peak sword cultivator of Lingtian Pavilion, "Interrupting soone’s enlightennt is akin to sabotaging soone’s breakthrough. It’s a major taboo in the cultivation world; committing such a taboo makes you a life-and-death enemy, killing you wouldn’t be excessive!"
The Divine Infant Realm expert of the Heavenly Sword Sect stepped forward, directly in front of Li Liang, locking onto him with imposing focus.
"In the stone chamber, when the formation was activated, Young Master Jiang saved all our lives, Zhao Tianming, your sentint of repaying kindness with enmity is a bit too quick!"
Pang Guang looked at Zhao Tianming with disdain, then shouted to the two sword cultivators of Canghai rchant Association in the stone chamber, "Lin Tao, protect Young Master Jiang, Li Mu, leave the tomb and relay what’s happening inside to those outside!"
"Yes!"
The Divine Infant Realm Peak expert of Canghai rchant Association responded, stepped beside the Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator, and watched Zhao Tianming, who hadn’t left the stone chamber yet. The other Canghai rchant Association sword cultivator who didn’t pass the illusion array test swiftly exited the stone chamber, heading down the corridor that led outside, and left the tomb.
Li Liang’s expression changed; he reluctantly kept silent. He was the only one from Lingtian Pavilion in the corridor; if he aroused the crowd’s anger, he was destined to die here.
Zhao Tianming’s eyes flickered with panic, cautiously looking at Yun Tao. The icy killing intent in Yun Tao’s eyes made his heart tremble.
He was confident that others wouldn’t dare kill him in public, but Yun Tao was an exception. Being the disciple of Wine-crazed, even if he killed himself, Lingtian Pavilion wouldn’t have the guts to retaliate. After all, Wine-crazed was waiting outside, unless they killed everyone here, the incident would reach Wine-crazed’s ears, and they would have to face Wine-crazed’s, and even Changlin Academy’s, fury.
His face darkened, Zhao Tianming fiercely glared at Jiang Chen’s back, harboring resentnt against Jiang Chen.
Whizz!
Turning around, Zhao Tianming dashed into the passage leading outside. Yun Tao’s gaze told him he would definitely take action, and if the sword cultivator from Lingtian Pavilion intervened, Chen Jingxuan would undoubtedly step in, leaving him no chance of survival.
Therefore, Zhao Tianming decisively gave up and directly fled the tomb!
The others who hadn’t passed the test also stepped back, showing they had no intention of entering the corridor to disturb.
"What’s going on? Why are there sword marks here?"
A sword cultivator from a small faction spotted the sword marks on the corridor floor, frowning and exclaiming.
Everyone’s expression changed, they looked down, the intervals between appearances were not long, as they were all watching Jiang Chen’s enlightennt, none had closely observed the corridor. Only now did they notice the traces of battle within, along with a pile of divine weapon fragnts on the ground.
"That’s Liu Jianming’s divine weapon, I’ve seen it before!"
The Heavenly Sword Sect sword cultivator who passed the illusion array glanced at the divine weapon fragnts on the ground and spoke in a deep voice.
Everyone’s expressions shifted, glancing at the enlightened Jiang Chen.
"Bastard! You dared attack my junior brother before?!"
Yun Tao roared angrily, turning coldly towards Wu Mingzhe.
Everyone was taken aback and suddenly understood.
Liu Jianming was killed by Jiang Chen, so his divine weapon naturally ended up in Jiang Chen’s hands, and now that the divine weapon was shattered and there were clear battle traces in the corridor, it proved soone had fought with Jiang Chen.
Yun Tao was the third to wake up; before him, only Jiang Chen and Wu Mingzhe were awake.
Hearing Yun Tao’s words, everyone turned to look at Wu Mingzhe.
Wu Mingzhe’s face changed, and he swiftly dashed towards the stone gate.
"What are you doing?"
Pang Guang sharply shouted.
Bang!
Wu Mingzhe raced to the stone gate, striking a blow at the stone wall beside it.
Rumble!
The stone gate thunderously opened.
Swish!
Wu Mingzhe slipped inside.
"They truly understand the layout here!"
The Wuyou Island cultivator spoke venomously, "Wu Family, you will pay for taking the life of our Young Island Master!"
"Where is Wu Zhen? He hasn’t co out!?"
Pang Guang suddenly realized he hadn’t seen Wu Zhen, shockingly exclaiming.
