In the forbidden land of Aurora Island.
Ye Chen faced a row of statues, all looking rather intimidating.
However...
Ye Chen was certain, there must be something wrong here!
Using Quasi-Emperor’s power as a test?
What a joke!
Even though the Aurora Sword Emperor could battle against a Great Emperor back in the day, he himself was still not a Great Emperor.
Even if a Great Emperor were to find a successor, they wouldn’t use the power of a Quasi-Emperor as a test.
To defeat a Quasi-Emperor’s level of power, especially as a young person, even if there were any in the Celestial Burial Sea, they would definitely be prideful to the extreme. They wouldn’t even look at your Aurora Sword Emperor!
He pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, a light appeared in Ye Chen’s eyes.
Got it!
To defeat the strongest opponent, and among the row of statues, all could unleash Quasi-Emperor level strength, but which one is the strongest? He didn’t know.
Why bother defeating them?
The opponents are not just these statues.
There are also living people here!
Couldn’t he be an opponent himself?
Moreover, the strongest opponent is always oneself!
"Young man, have you made your choice?" At this moment, another figure appeared out of thin air, identical to the one that Ye Chen defeated earlier.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I’ve made my choice. I choose myself!"
The male figure said, "Why not choose the statues?"
Ye Chen said, "This stage’s test is to defeat the strongest opponent. Choosing myself fits the requirement.
And besides... these statues only exert Quasi-Emperor strength at best. How can they be considered the strongest opponent?"
The male figure nodded and said, "Congratulations, you initially passed the second test."
As the words fell, the figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared, serving as another guide for Ye Chen.
"Initially passed the second test?" Ye Chen muttered, it seems he still had more work to do.
Unexpectedly, just as he suspected, the Aurora Sword Emperor still had a little trick up his sleeve.
Upon further thought, it made sense. The Aurora Sword Emperor was seeking a successor of unparalleled talent. He wouldn’t want a fool...
Everyone who came here was young.
If they couldn’t discern the intent of this test and insisted on fighting the statues...
If they could win, the Aurora Sword Emperor would happily pass on the Aurora Sword Dao to them, even if they weren’t the brightest.
If they couldn’t win, they’d be eliminated right away. Without extraordinary talent, and if their minds weren’t sharp, who could they blame?
Without further thought, Ye Chen immediately headed in the direction the male figure had pointed.
He flew along the path without any obstacles.
After an unknown amount of time, an old man’s figure appeared in Ye Chen’s view.
Ye Chen flew close to the old man and stopped.
The second test wasn’t over, it must have something to do with this old man.
The old man was hunchbacked with a bald head and a long beard that reached the ground, holding a cane, and was also examining Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, "Are you alive?"
The old man was so angry his long beard floated up.
"You’re the dead one!"
Ye Chen: "..."
The Aurora Sword Emperor arranged for a live person as a test?
He thought it was just like the previous male figure, merely an imprint of power.
No... it’s not a living person. The Martial Arts Celestial Eye secretly probed and sensed the presence of a beast... strangely, it felt somewhat familiar.
"If you keep using that Martial Arts Celestial Eye, I swear I’ll gouge out your eyes!"
Ye Chen: "..."
Could it be an old turtle?
"Brother Gui, greetings. Junior Ye Chen is here for the inheritance of the Aurora Sword Dao. Brother Gui, this must be the continuation of the second test, right?"
The old man: "..."
Brother Gui?
I am your Grandpa Turtle!
"You brat, if you keep spouting nonsense, Grandpa Turtle will make you pay!" Elder Gui scolded angrily.
Ye Chen said, "Then please, elder, tell me what the continuation of the second test is."
Since he couldn’t get friendly, he would get down to business!
Calling him Grandpa Turtle? That was never going to happen!
He wasn’t about to bee a turtle’s grandson!
Elder Gui snorted and said, "You saw through the surface confusion of the second test and gave an answer. Now, what you must do is naturally defeat yourself."
Ye Chen said, "If I stab myself to death, will that work?"
"Go ahead."
Ye Chen said, "I was just speaking casually, elder, please don’t take it seriously..."
Elder Gui looked cold, waved his hand, and a large turtle shell flew out.
The surface of the turtle shell looked quite ordinary, no different from a regular turtle shell, but its paths and textures contained an inparably profound aura.
This turtle shell was absolutely a treasure.
Much stronger than the shell of a Void Beast.
If he could obtain it, he wouldn’t have to worry about a Great Emperor’s attack.
His strongest divine technique, the Eternal Golden Body, couldn’t withstand the power of a Great Emperor yet, and the Eternal Golden Body had its costs and couldn’t be used continuously.
The turtle shell was different.
With the turtle shell on his head, he could go wherever he wanted.
Just like using the body of Mad Old Man Yi Xiaoyao to withstand the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation before...
"If you want to take your Grandpa Turtle’s shell, go ahead and try."
Ye Chen said, "Then I’ll make a move..."
"Hmm, I’ll kill you immediately!" Elder Gui said, raising his cane.
Ye Chen said, "...Elder, do you perhaps have some misunderstanding about me?"
He felt a deep-seated grudge!
"Walk underneath the turtle shell." Elder Gui snorted.
"Elder, you’re not going to crush me with the turtle shell, are you?" Ye Chen felt a bit cowardly.
Elder Gui was so angry his long beard rose up, "The continuation of the second test is within the turtle shell. Grandpa Turtle’s shell can mimic all of you, transforming into another you to duel with. If you can win, you’ll pass!"
Ye Chen’s eyes flashed.
Elder Gui’s turtle shell was that powerful?
Could it mimic everything about him?
"If that’s the case, then I don’t want the Aurora Sword Dao," Ye Chen said.
This kind of thing shouldn’t be done.
For the Aurora Sword Dao, to expose all his cards... to be mimicked, it was like stripping himself bare.
What if Elder Gui leaked his secrets?
The troubles that would follow would be endless!
He wasn’t playing anymore.
In any case, the Aurora Sword Dao was just that, he didn’t e to Aurora Island for it.
"This is not up to you!"
Elder Gui glared, let out a cold shout, and with a wave of his hand, a force enveloped Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was pletely immobile.
Having interacted with Great Emperors, Ye Chen had a rough idea of their power aura.
This Elder Gui’s power aura was pletely different from that of a Great Emperor... essentially, it seemed even stronger!
"Above a Great Emperor!" Four words popped into Ye Chen’s mind, with immense shock!
Facing such a terrifying existence, resistance was futile.
Ye Chen’s body, uncontrollable, was carried under the turtle shell by Elder Gui’s power. Next, the large turtle shell descended with a bang, like a large bowl upside down, trapping Ye Chen inside.
Mysterious forces fell from the turtle shell onto Ye Chen, and then left his body.
These mysterious forces continuously gathered, and right before Ye Chen’s eyes, an entirely new version of himself appeared!
Once, in the main hall of the Eastern Domain True Martial Hall, the Grand Hall Master Lingxiao used a forbidden level secret technique to forge a body for Ye Chen, performing a perfect Golden Cicada Shell trick.
That body was almost indistinguishable from the real body, and unless someone was very familiar with Ye Chen, they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
But now... Elder Gui’s large turtle shell, without any plex process, directly duplicated a body, one that was even more perfect than Lingxiao’s methods, even more incredulously remarkable... Ye Chen could only marvel!
