Chapter 59: Trial Mission Complete, Heading to the Second Heaven Trial
He turned his head and saw a muscular man covered in blood appear behind him.
He did not use his true essence to deflect the rain, and the rain just fell on his body, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Who else could this person be but Xi Menao?
However, his current situation was not right. Not only were his muscles slightly cracked, but fresh blood was oozing out from his cracked skin.
He was a bloody mess.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Su Yi looked at Xi Menao and found that he seemed to have been seriously injured. However, on second thought, it seemed that his Heaven-defying Divine Sky Palm did not attack him at all.
He was still a little wary of Xi Menao, who was also one of the eight prodigies. However, from the looks of it, the injuries on his body were even more serious than Xuan Yijian, who had received his palm attack.
He scratched his head and forced out a smile.
“It’s nothing much. It’s just a backlash from the cultivation technique. I’ll be fine after recuperating for a period of time.”
“Backlash from the cultivation technique?”
A scene flashed in Su Yi’s mind. He remembered that before he had used the Heaven-defying Divine Sky Palm, Xi Menao was about to attack Xuan Yijian.
Then, he had forcefully reversed the cultivation technique and retracted his move, which resulted in the backlash from the cultivation technique.
Seeing his miserable state, Su Yi raised his eyebrows and threw a qi and blood replenishing pill over to him.
He had a pretty good impression of this Heaven’s Favorite. When he knew that Xuan Yijian wanted to lure the attack to an innocent person, he actually reversed the technique and withdrew the move without hesitation.
He was determined enough and did not hesitate to harm himself and suffer heavy injuries without implicating others.
It was likely that Xuan Yijian had seen through Xi Menao’s personality and wanted to use Su Yi to escape.
However, he had underestimated Su Yi’s strength, so he got into trouble.
“Thank you…”
Xi Menao took the pill and swallowed it without caring about anything else. This kind of behavior made the corners of Su Yi’s eyes twitch.
‘You didn’t even look at the pill and directly swallowed it? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll give you poison?’
He could not help but sigh. In this path of immortality, there really were such pure cultivators.
At the same time, he looked at Xi Menao, who was called the Heaven’s Favorite, and a different light flashed in his eyes.
Perhaps it was because the two Heaven’s Favorites he had met previously were despicable, so Su Yi had always thought that the so-called eight Heaven’s Favorites were all like this.
He had never thought that he would actually encounter a good person.
Looking at Xi Menao again, after he had consumed Su Yi’s qi and blood pill, his complexion was clearly much better. It was just that the injuries caused by the backlash from the cultivation method on his body had not been able to recover in a short period of time.
After waiting for him to recover slightly, Su Yi learned from him what he had previously said about the Illusory Sword Escape Technique.
That was the Sword Pavilion’s most profound evasion and escape technique. It was refined by a mighty figure into a sword intent talisman paper, and required the user to use a mouthful of blood and effort to activate it.
After that, the user would leave behind a gradually dissipating illusion that even a core formation expert would not be able to break through.
However, the side effect was that the user’s 50 years of lifespan would be consumed.
Su Yi’s expression changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
How ruthless. Burning decades of lifespan just to escape.
However, to a foundation establishment realm cultivator, it was indeed a very powerful escape technique.
After roughly understanding it, he was about to bid farewell to Xi Menao. When he turned his head, he saw that Xi Menao had a weird expression, as if he wanted to say something.
Su Yi raised his brows slightly and said indifferently, “Fellow Daoist Ximen, is there anything else you want to mention?”
Xi Menao sighed. He took out two essence of water beads from the immortal destiny seals and looked at Su Yi apologetically
If it were not for him, Su Yi would not have gotten involved in their battle. Although Su Yi had chased him away in the end, he had also provoked the Sword Pavilion because of it.
Therefore, he felt somewhat apologetic in his heart.
Su Yi did not refuse. He accepted the two essence of water as a fee for the qi and blood replenishing pill.
Just as Su Yi accepted the two essence of water, a series of voice notifications caused a stir in the entire water swamp mystic realm.
[Hint: The first to pass the water swamp trial is born.]
A short prompt caused a commotion in the water swamp forest. It had only been a few days, and most of them had yet to find a single one. A few of them had only found one or two.
Someone had passed the trial already? All kinds of birds flew up in the forest, and there were whispers and exclamations everywhere.
Su Yi, who was holding the two essence of water in his hands, was slightly stunned. Several Dao prompts have appeared.
[Hint: You have obtained essence of water x 2]
[Hint: Progress of the first trial, essence of water 10/10]
[Hint: You have completed the first trial. You have obtained the reward: Spirit of Lingxiao x 1, essence of heavenly vein x 100]
[Hint: The second trial teleportation array is about to be activated for you.]
After three consecutive prompts, Su Yi looked at the essence of water in the space of the seal, which was emitting an infinite light, as if it was resonating with the two in his hand.
The eight essence of water in the seal shot out uncontrollably. They flew out from between his eyebrows, and then came to his hand, slowly forming a circle with the two.
Then, they hovered above Su Yi’s palm and slowly rotated.
Xi Menao, who was watching from the side, was stunned. With the Dao voice’s reminder and the change in the person in front of him, he cried out in surprise, “Dao brother, what are you doing?!”
He did not reply. His eyes were fixed on the changes in the essence of water in his hand.
The ten essence of water kept changing as if they were assembling something.
Suddenly, the essence of water in his hand turned into ten rays of light and shot towards the sky. Its speed was so fast that even Su Yi could not react in time.
The essence of water in the sky was emitting rays of light. Then, rays of light shot out from each of them and interweaved continuously, as if they were constructing something.
In just a short moment, he knew that the essence of water had actually constructed a mysterious array diagram,
the array diagram emitted waves of golden light, and then a golden light pillar enveloped Su Yi’s body.
After constructing the teleportation array, the ten essence of water turned into flowing lights from the sky and flew back to his hand.
However, it was no longer ten. Instead, it was a fist-sized pearl that glowed with a colorful light.
Su Yi swept his gaze over it, and the information of this item appeared in his eyes.
[Name: Spirit of Lingxiao]
[Rank: Unknown]
[Effect: Unknown]
[Description: It was once a token for Lingxiao sect disciples, but now it can only be used as an item to initiate a ceremony.]
It was another item with unknown effects. He placed it back into the seal.
The array in the sky seemed to be urging him as it began to rotate slowly. The golden light that enveloped Su Yi’s body became stronger and stronger.
He suddenly thought of something. With a slight movement of his spiritual sense, he only had time to send a message through the immortal destiny seal.
Then, his figure disappeared under the golden light enveloping the formation.
At the same time, the formation diagram that was emitting golden light in the sky also disappeared in the sky.
