Darren was a little upset to have reached the end of the test.
"Alas! In order to find out who killed him, Emperor Yahya had set up such an elaborate test. In the end, he still could not figure out who did it!"
Darren was wondering who had killed Yahya.
"Ah, forget it. Just rest in peace, Yahya." Darren bowed towards the crystal coffin.
Returning to ancient times allowed Darren to gain much.
First, he would be able to improve his strength by inheriting the Fire and Water Emperor Character. Second, he would be able to analyze the battles of previous emperors in order to learn how to make his cultivation better. Last and most importantly, he finally discovered the secret behind the River of Forgetfulness.
"Why did the avatar say that? How could he think that the mysterious warrior who had survived the thunder punishment for Conflicting Cultivation was me? And that I would be the one to kill me?" Darren could not understand.
"Never mind. I'll just cross that bridge when I get there."
Darren shook his head, releasing a force to awaken Hailey.
"Are we out?" Hailey, dazed, looked around her.
"Yes. Yahya committed suicide. The test is over." Darren nodded.
"Oh, it's finally over." Hailey was relieved. Suddenly, she sat straight up. "Wait a minute. Didn't you say there are three tests? Where is the last test?"
"How can there be a third test? That last one was the ultimate test."
"Oh, alright." Hailey nodded.
"Let's go. Let's take the Emperor Characters and leave."
"Yes."
The two walked up to the crystal coffin.
"Thank you, master."
Darren had promised to treat Yahya as his master, so he bowed towards the crystal coffin.
"Thank you, master." Hailey bowed to Yahya three times.
Buzz…
The space vibrated, and the lid of the crystal coffin slowly rose. A corpse floated in front of them.
Three crystals flew out of the corpse's head and were suspended in the air.
One was red and blue, one was black and white, and the last was gray and white. These were the three
way!"
"How could that be?" Darren asked, confused.
Crack...
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the air and a terrible force rushed out.
"Feminine and Masculine Force!"
Darren could sense the frightening power from within the crack.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Hailey was dragged into the crack.
"Darren!" Hailey's screams echoed throughout the holy emperor's tomb. Darren tried to reach for her but the crack had disappeared and so had she.
"Hailey? Hailey!" Darren cried out.
"Don't worry. She's alright,"
a voice said. Darren turned around and saw the Tiger Cat standing behind him.
"But why?" Darren asked.
"My master valued the Feminine and Masculine Force the most when he was alive. Before he died, he had already found the ultimate method for Feminine and Masculine Cultivation. He left this method in the Emperor Character, so that his inheritor could practice it."
"I see. I hope she won't be in danger." Darren nodded.
"What about you? What are you going to do?" the Tiger Cat asked.
"I need to leave. I have a lot of things to do!" Darren answered.
"Okay." The Tiger Cat nodded. "Before you leave, could you tell me what happened during the test?"
Darren didn't say anything. He just transferred his memory of the test to the Tiger Cat.
"How could this be?" The Tiger Cat furrowed his eyebrows.
