Chapter 232 - The Final Test

Chapter 232 The Final Test

Sheng Xiao woke up from the pain.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that he had already left the staircase of the Central Pagoda. There was another tightly shut door in front of him, and this time, the words on the door were

99.

The psychological trap was the strongest among all the arrays. Through it, Sheng Xiao was sent to the last round.

This was an additional reward.

But Sheng Xiao pressed his chest. It was as if he could still feel the pain of his body being burnt by magma. He could not be happy no matter what. Sheng Xiao leaned against the wall and could not overcome his grief.

erCOL

In real life, Sheng Xiao might have only disappeared for two hours or a day. However, he had stayed in the psychological trap for two hundred years.

Two hundred years.

For a moment, Sheng Xiao could not feel a sense of belonging to the world he was in.

Sheng Xiao thought of something and knocked on his interspatial ring. He took out a cloud-patterned collar pin. He touched the collar pin and placed it on the chest of the tribal uniform. He let it get close to his heart. He shouted softly, “Wine…”

Sheng Xiao felt more at ease when he thought of Yu Huang

His past life was over. He should cherish this life. After he understood everything, Sheng Xiao quickly pulled himself together and his eyes became clear.

He raised his head and stared at the number 99 for a few seconds before walking forward resolutely. He stretched out his hands and pushed open the door to the 99th floor!

The moment he pushed the door open, Sheng Xiao was prepared to be attacked and sent to another place.

But after he entered the 99th floor, he found that this floor was abnormally calm. There were no traps, no array formations, or any traps to break through.

There were many complicated patterns on the wall of the 99th floor tower. The top of the tower was actually a magnificent wormhole. The energy source in the wormhole was rolling non-stop, and the energy was very chaotic.

It seemed that his father was right. The energy of the Time Gate was indeed somewhat unstable.

Twenty years ago, the beast tamers who had successfully passed the Time Gate test would have flown into the wormhole to engage in spatial teleportation and go to the brilliant Great World.

But now, the entrance of the wormhole was blocked by an incomparably large unicorn pattern.

The unicorn pattern was vivid. It stared at Sheng Xiao intently, as if it was communicating with him. Sheng Xiao looked up at it instinctively.

Was this the Prime Master?

Sheng Xiao knelt down and kowtowed three times to the unicorn pattern. “I am Sheng Xiao. Greetings, selfless Prime Master!”

Sheng Xiao stood up. He looked around the tower and didn’t find any test questions. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Could it be that he had succeeded after reaching the 99th floor? At that moment, Sheng Xiao felt a wave of energy. His ears perked up and he turned to check the energy source.

Sheng Xiao looked up and stared at the unicorn pattern on his head. He noticed that the pattern suddenly distorted. The unicorn pattern slowly released a strong spiritual power. Under Sheng Xiao’s gaze, it turned into the shape of a middle-aged man.

The man was wearing a long white robe. Sheng Xiao recognized him immediately as the Yin family’s uniform. The man in front of him was handsome and looked exactly the same as Yin Mingjue did in Sheng Xiao’s memories.

Sheng Xiao was shocked when he recognized the man.

Prime Master?

The selfless Prime Master looked at Sheng Xiao kindly. He stared at Sheng Xiao for a long time before saying, “Are you the little one from the Sheng family? You’ve grown up already?”

Sheng Xiao was delighted. “You know me?” Sheng Xiao was delighted that his idol had recognized him.

Yin Mingjue said, “Although you’ve grown up, your appearance hasn’t changed much from when you were young. I naturally recognize

you.”

Sheng Xiao nodded. He looked at Yin Mingjue’s illusory figure and revealed a puzzled expression. “Prime Master.” Sheng Xiao pointed at his body and said in confusion, “Prime Master, they all said that your soul was shattered after you sacrificed yourself. So, now you…”

Guessing what Sheng Xiao was going to ask, the selfless Prime Master interrupted him directly and explained, “It’s just a remnant soul. After I self-destructed my beast form, my beast form blocked the door of the Time Gate with my energy. My soul merged with the Central Pagoda.”

“I only woke up today because I saw the pen on your chest.” Yin Mingjue looked at the pen on Sheng Xiao’s chest.

Sheng Xiao immediately took off his pen and handed it to him.

Since he could not touch the iron rule pen, he used his soul power to hold it up and carefully looked at it. He sighed and said, “I didn’t expect to see it again.”

Sheng Xiao told Yin Mingjue, “The dean gave it to me.”

“Dean…” Yin Mingjue looked sad. He asked Sheng Xiao,” How has he been all these years?

“The dean is well, but he misses you.”

Yin Mingjue stared at the iron rule pen, as if he was reminiscing. He didn’t speak for a long time.

Without him saying anything, Sheng Xiao did not dare to rush him. He stood there quietly while wondering what the final test was.

At that moment, Sheng Xiao heard Yin Mingjue say, “Has my Huang’er entered the Divine Realm Academy?”

Sheng Xiao was stunned.

In order to let the Prime Master rest in peace, Sheng Xiao lied. “Yes.”

Yin Mingjue suddenly laughed. He said, “How’s that child’s temperament? Did she perform well in the academy?”

“Yes.” Sheng Xiao described Yin Feng according to Yu Huang’s personality. He said, “Yin Feng is talented and good at making friends. She’s a little cocky, but not bossy.”

Yin Mingjue finally felt at ease. “I’m relieved.”

Yin Mingjue returned the pen to Sheng Xiao and said, “I don’t need this anymore. I’ll give it to you.”

“Thank you, Prime Master.” Sheng Xiao took the pen with both hands and placed it neatly in his chest pocket. Then, he looked up and stole a glance at his idol.

Yin Mingjue was amused by Sheng Xiao’s wary look.

“What are you looking at?”

Sheng Xiao felt a little awkward when his idol caught him peeping at him. He quickly looked away and looked up at the wormhole above his head. He straightened his expression and asked the selfless Prime Master, “Prime Master, what happened at the Time Gate 20 years ago?”

“Well…”

Yin Mingjue looked up at the wormhole with the chaotic energy, and his gaze gradually became gloomy. He said, “The energy in the Time Gate is chaotic again. I wonder how long my energy can guard the Central Pagoda.”

Sheng Xiao’s heart sank.

Yin Mingjue suddenly waved at Sheng Xiao and said, “Come here. I’ll send you the image of the Central Pagoda incident 20 years ago.”

Sheng Xiao strode forward.

Yin Mingjue raised his right arm and pressed his index finger between Sheng Xiao’s eyebrows. It was an illusory finger, but when it touched Sheng Xiao, he felt warmth.

That temperature was like a normal person’s temperature.

Sheng Xiao looked at Yin Mingjue in shock. He suddenly grabbed Yin Mingjue’s finger and stared at him warily. He asked in confusion, “Prime Master, why is your finger warm?”

“Why is my finger warm?” The smile on Yin Mingjue’s face suddenly disappeared. He gave Sheng Xiao a sly smile. “Because I’m fake!”

“Hahaha!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the selfless Prime Master before him suddenly transformed into a ball of dark black light.

Sheng Xiao immediately summoned the Black Qing Sky Dragon and mobilized all his spiritual energy to fight against the opponent’s attack.

“Myriad Slash technique!”

Sheng Xiao immediately used his strongest move.

However, despite his cultivation being at the initial-stage of the Supreme Master Realm, he was unable to harm the other party at all!

Sheng Xiao was shocked.

What cultivation level was this black shadow?!

Sheng Xiao wanted to break the survival ring on his wrist. Before his fingers could reach it the shadow suddenly turned into a knife and cut off Sheng Xiao’s left arm.

“Ah!”

Sheng Xiao’s left arm was almost broken. A lot of flesh and blood hung on the bone.

Sheng Xiao lowered his head in pain and his face turned pale. The shadow approached Sheng Xiao and kicked him until he hit the wall of the Central Pagoda.

Sheng Xiao was injured so badly that his organs felt like they were about to break. He leaned against the wall and could not get up anymore.

The shadow turned into Yin Mingjue and squatted in front of Sheng Xiao. He pointed his index finger between Sheng Xiao’s eyebrows. “Boy, you know too much…”

Then, the shadow pulled his finger out. Sheng Xiao’s memory was pulled out by the shadow.

When his memory was completely pulled out, he would become a retard without any memory, just like an amnesic patient who did not know how to eat or take care of their daily needs.

Sheng Xiao’s pupils dilated. He wanted to resist, but in the face of absolute power, Sheng Xiao could not do anything.

The shadow pulled out a memory piece and was about to continue. At that moment, Sheng Xiao suddenly closed his eyes. A strong golden light suddenly erupted from his body.

Immediately after, a Black Qing Sky Dragon appeared in the pagoda and transformed into a handsome man. The man had a pair of dragon horns on his head and was wearing a black battle robe. He held a sword in his right hand and had a stern aura.

The moment he appeared, the spirit energy in the air was instantly frozen, and the entire space stopped flowing. Time also stopped at this moment.

Yin Mingjue turned around and stared at the man who had suddenly appeared. He recognized the aura of an expert on the other party’s body and his eyes suddenly narrowed!

“Divine Master!” The dragon race’s Divine Master!

The black-robed man stared at Yin Mingjue coldly and said, “As a Divine Master, you actually dared to change the fate of a small world. You deserve death!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black robed man raised the sword in his hand and charged towards his opponent without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Yin Mingjue gritted his teeth and raised his hand to slap his forehead. He risked damaging his cultivation and fled from the Central Pagoda in the blink of an eye before returning to the Time Gate.

Seeing that the other party was fleeing, the black-robed man stopped his attack.

He stared at Sheng Xiao, who was in the corner. His gaze became gentle. “Little one, you have to grow up quickly…”

“This is the 99th floor?” The voice of the Elven Prince, Donor, sounded outside the door.

The man in the black robe glanced outside the door and quickly turned into a black mist that returned to Sheng Xiao’s body.
