Chapter 690 - Stairway To Heavens Fourth Trial (1/2)
Ding!
<You have successfully protected the mortals for 24 hours>
After receiving this notification, Yuan felt the weight on his body disappear, causing him to look up.
The golden temple that had suddenly disappeared, replaced by a glowing orb of light that slowly approached Yuan's forehead.
Yuan didn't reject the light and allowed it to enter him, and more memories began flowing inside his mind like a gush of water at a broken dam.
However, he didn't have the time to indulge in these memories, as the scenery had changed back to its original background.
”Congratulations on passing your third trial, Master. You have an hour to rest before we start the next trial. Do you wish to rest or continue?” Tian'er's calm voice resounded after the trial ended.
”Yes, I want to rest. I will need all the time I can get after that trial…” Yuan immediately sat down and began cultivating with his body still soaked in sweat.
While he cultivated, a gentle breeze would blow around Yuan, magically cleaning his sweat from his body and his clothes.
An hour later, Yuan stood up and began making his way towards the next trial.
”Welcome to your fourth and final trial, Master.”
”Did I just hear 'final' trial?” Yuan asked for confirmation.
”That's correct. If you pass this one, you will get to ascend to the next realm.” Tian'er responded.
”Then what are you waiting for? Let's get this trial started!”
The scenery changed a moment later.
Yuan looked around after the scenery finished changing, and he appeared to be in some sort of empty field.
However, this empty field felt very familiar for some reason, almost as though he'd been there before.
”That place is…”
Inside the spectators' room, both Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang covered their mouth in shock when they saw the scenery, especially when they saw the building standing right behind Yuan.
”What is my trial this time?” Yuan asked as he looked around.
It was at this moment he realized that there was a building behind him, but his face and body froze like a stone statue when he saw this building— this temple.
”This place is… impossible…”
He stared at the temple in a daze.
The temple he was staring at resembled the Six Spiritual Families' Ancestor' Tomb in the Jaded Garden. No, it was exactly the same.
”For the fourth trial, you will need to defeat 'your' demon, Master.”
Ding!
<You have started your fourth trial in the Stairway to Heaven!>
<You must defeat the demon within your body!>
”I have to defeat a demon for this trial…?” Yuan frowned, feeling obnoxious about the situation.
”Aaaaaaah! Help! Yuan! Help me!”
A voice that Yuan immediately recognized suddenly resounded, and his body trembled when he heard it.
