Even Chi Yao didn't expect that everything would go so smoothly.
He had just begun to show off his talent, and it was really just a preliminary show. He was immediately summoned by the great elder of Shushan, and then the other party put forward an unexpected condition.
"Passed Yu Yuan's trial and became the direct descendant of the Great Elder?"
Chi Yao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he softly repeated the conditions proposed by the other party.
This is simply a no-brainer!
"It even went so well that I thought there would be some kind of trap here..."
He muttered secretly, feeling quite as if you all fell down before I even used my full strength.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Chi Yao activated the Heaven Gu Qi Watching Technique and stared at the passage filled with black mist-like aura in front of him.
The so-called entrance to Yuyuan is actually under the roots of the sacred tree, and this Yuyuan trial does not really require the tester to go deep into Yuyuan, but to stay in the passage between the sacred tree and Yuyuan
, testing the body’s carrying capacity for these two mutually exclusive forces.
Yes, the core inheritance of Shushan is slightly different from what Chi Yao guessed.
Originally, he thought that since Shushan was inherited from the guardian clan in ancient times, their power should have the same origin as the sacred tree and be the kind that could restrain Yu Yuan's power.
But the requirements of Yu Yuan's trial gave him new ideas.
"Since the prerequisite for becoming a guard of Yu Yuan is that the body can bear the erosion of the two powers of the Divine Tree and Yu Yuan, then their source of power may not be a single one, but the product of the balance of these two powers?
"
The content of the Yuyuan Trial is not complicated. There is no confrontation with any Yuyuan monster or other troubles as Chi Yao imagined. He just needs to stay in this long tunnel to withstand the energy of Yuansha and the essence of the first day.
of invasion.
According to the division of Shushan Mountain, the entire tunnel is about several hundred meters long, with a dividing line every hundred meters. The further down you go, the heavier the aura of Yuansha, the weaker the energy of the first day, and the greater the pressure your body will bear, but this is the same.
It also means that the better your physical fitness, the greater your potential.
After thinking about this, Chi Yao's choice is self-evident.
"Awesome, little brother!"
At first, when the guards of Yu Yuan on the outside saw Chi Yao moving forward without changing his expression, they all offered words of encouragement.
But when he walked down five hundred meters, it was difficult to see even Yu Yuan's guards.
I met one by chance, and all I got was surprise and advice: "Be careful. If you feel unwell, get out as soon as possible. It's getting more and more dangerous ahead."
Chi Yao only nodded in response to these Yu Yuan guards, but his footsteps did not stop at all.
Six hundred meters, seven hundred meters, eight hundred meters...
"How long has it been since we saw the new Yu Yuan guard appear?"
He squinted his eyes. The black mist ahead was so thick that it almost completely obscured the path forward. What finally caught his eye was a door that was entangled and bound by countless roots.
"Nine hundred meters...is this the limit?"
Chi Yao thought secretly in his heart.
He felt that he could still go forward, but this passage seemed to have reached its end.
"And this so-called Yuansha Qi..."
He raised his hand and felt the changes in his body. The expression on his face gradually became weird, as if he was communicating with something.
"Really? It's delicious. Do you want more? Haha, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future..."
After soothing the restlessness in his body, Chi Yao was thinking about whether he should return the way he came, when he heard an anxious voice suddenly appear behind him: "Xiao Yao?"
He turned around and saw Yu Zhong's figure emerging from the fog, his face full of visible tension and anxiety.
"Great Elder, why are you here?"
Chi Yao bowed and asked curiously.
"Are you... okay?"
Yu Zhong did not answer his question immediately. Instead, he said with a strange expression and hesitant to speak, "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
"Back to Great Elder, I feel fine."
"are you OK?"
Yu Zhong stretched out his hand and patted Chi Yao's body, as if he had used some kind of probing spell, but under the concealment of the Deceiving Gu, he obviously did not draw any valid conclusions.
In the end, he could only look at Chi Yao with a sigh of relief: "It seems that your physique is more suitable for the power here than I thought. Maybe..."
Yu Zhong didn't say the second half of the sentence, and Chi Yao didn't ask. The progress was already faster than he expected, and everything was too much.
"Don't call me Great Elder anymore, call me Teacher."
"is teacher."
Chi Yao understood that from this moment on, he had truly entered the core layer of Shushan.
"well!"
Yu Zhong was even more excited than Chi Yao. He grabbed Chi Yao's arm and led him quickly out of the Yuyuan Passage and back to his residence.
"I have arranged for someone to notify you of your identity. You don't have to worry about it. What I'm going to tell you next is the technique that you need to practice immediately, which is also the fundamental technique of our Shushan - the Great Sun Bathing Abyss Technique."
He paused, seeming to think about his words.
"You should know that the core disciples of Shushan are also called the Yuyuan Guards. Including me, we are all members of the Yuyuan Guards to this day. You have entered Yuyuan, can you tell me the details inside?
Feel it?"
"Um……"
Chi Yao thought for a while, trying his best to ignore the keyword "delicious" and searching for feelings from other angles, "depressed, chaotic, desolate, cold..."
He said a lot of words, and there was no connection between them and some were even contradictory, but Yu Zhong kept nodding, his eyes pleased.
"Yes, it doesn't seem to mean that you are physically gifted. Your perception is also quite keen."
Yu Zhong looked at him with more and more satisfaction, "Yu Yuan is supposed to be the place where the sun sets. When the sun rises in Yanggu, bathes in the salty pond, and brushes against the hibiscus, it is called morning. As for Yu Yuan, it is called dusk.
And our sacred tree in Shu Mountain is also known as the Fusang tree."
"That is to say..."
There was a surprised expression on Chi Yao's face.
"good,"
Yu nodded and said, "From Fusang to Yu Yuan, it is the complete process from sunrise to sunset, which is the road you just walked."
"But……"
Chi Yao's expression of shock was mixed with some doubts.
"I understand, you want to ask why the hibiscus tree that should be in Yanggu appears in Shushan, right?"
Yu Zhong stroked his beard and shook his head slightly, "That will involve another secret of our Shushan. But this matter has nothing to do with your practice for the time being, so let's talk about it later. Next, I will pass it on to you.
Yu Yuan’s guard’s practice method.”
Immediately, a technique came out from his mouth, "This Great Sun Bathing Abyss Technique can only be practiced in Yuyuan, and there are several special points you need to remember."
Chi Yao listened attentively.
"This magic formula needs to absorb the great sun essence emanating from the Fuso wood and the Yuansha energy in Yuyuan at the same time. However, neither the sun essence nor the Yuansha energy can be directly carried by the human body. It can absorb one energy alone.
The consequences of the seed are either spontaneous combustion and death, or the death of vitality.
"Therefore, a dynamic balance must be built in the body, and it will be the same when using it in the future. Don't let a certain power lose too much, otherwise the balance will be broken, and it will be difficult for the gods to save it!"
