Chapter 784

In the Trial Space of the Magic Waterfall, after completing the first stage of the trial, Gu Ding spent another two days constructing the third level of his body, Nirvana Immortal Body, and raised his physical strength to the level of a ninth-rank true body.

After standing up and checking the changes in his body, Gu Ding looked in the direction of Tagore.

Two days had passed, and Tagore was covered in frost a little higher than before. This made Gu Ding even more eager to complete all the tests and take Tagore away from this place.

"I'm ready. I can start the second stage of the test." Gu Ding waited for the residence spirit to give him the content of the second stage of the test.

"The second stage of the test is also very simple. You only need to cross the ten-mile sea of fire in front of you to pass the test. The rules of the test are the same as the first stage. No external aids are allowed. The further you go, the better the reward. "As soon as the residence spirit's voice fell, a sea of fire not far in front of Gu Ding turned into a sea of fire.

"First it was the Cold Ice, and now it's the sea of fire. Why is the content of the test aimed at physical strength? What's the meaning of such a repetitive test? "Gu Ding frowned slightly. He could not understand the purpose of the master of Iceflame Mansion.

With this question in mind, Gu Ding stepped into the sea of fire.

As soon as he took a step, he immediately understood that this sea of fire was not testing physical strength, but the strength of the soul.

The red flames looked no different from ordinary flames, and they even felt hot. However, when he stepped into the sea of fire, Gu Ding realized that these flames burned the soul directly and had no effect on the body at all.

However, Gu Ding's soul had been tempered by his will before and was extremely strong. He walked forward steadily.

Within a kilometer, the burning effect of the flames did not change. When he stepped into the second kilometer, Gu Ding was somewhat mentally prepared based on his previous experience.

Sure enough, after crossing the one-kilometer boundary, the burning ability of the flames on the soul became several times stronger. Fortunately, this had no effect on Gu Ding's soul. It was just a thin layer of soul power, and his soul would not be invaded in any way.

With this experience, Gu Ding continued to move forward.

Two kilometers!

Three kilometers!

Four kilometers!

…

Nine kilometers!

Ten kilometers!

With every kilometer he crossed, the power of the flames increased several times. Gu Ding crossed the ten-kilometer boundary, but he did not stop. Instead, he chose to continue moving forward.

Gu Ding made this choice because he was not sure if he could complete all the assessments given by the house spirit. He could only choose to do his best in every test. That way, even if he did not complete all the tests, he would still have bargaining chips with the mansion spirit.

Eleven kilometers, twelve kilometers … As he went deeper into the sea of fire, Gu Ding felt a burning sensation from the depths of his soul. It was not until the sixteenth kilometer was over and he was about to enter the seventeenth kilometer that Gu Ding finally stopped.

He knew that this was his limit. If he went any further, his soul would suffer irreparable damage. This was because he could clearly feel that during this sixteen-kilometer journey, there was a burning sensation in his soul that was about to be ignited.

"This is my limit." Gu Ding stopped in his tracks and panted heavily. He knew that the house spirit could hear him.

"Very good. You have passed the second stage of the assessment. The result of the assessment is also excellent." The house spirit seemed to be very satisfied with Gu Ding. "You have passed the second stage. You may receive a second reward."

"Was your will damaged some time ago?" After a moment of silence, the house spirit suddenly asked.

"Yes. A few days ago, the will projection collapsed for some reason, and there were cracks in my will." Gu Ding did not deny it.

"Well, I will give you a Great Vajra Pill. This is a rare pill refined by the ancient Buddhist Sect. It is specially used to repair damage to one's will. Master obtained this pill by accident during his travels, and there are only three of them. One of them was given to someone long ago, and now there are only two left. "

"Pill?" Gu Ding was stunned when he heard this. Most of the methods of making pills had been lost in ancient times, and it had disappeared in this era. As a pharmacologist, Gu Ding had never seen a real pill. Therefore, when he heard the house spirit's words, his heart was filled with anticipation.

Gu Ding immediately reached out and grabbed it. He knew that it was a reward from the house spirit.

When he opened his palm, he saw that it was a purple pill the size of a thumb. The surface of the pill shone with golden ciphertext and emitted a fragrant scent.

"This is an elixir?!" Gu Ding observed it carefully. "Compared to the medicine we refine, it has a much stronger spirituality. If this pill is left for long enough, it might really become a living thing. No wonder its effects are amazing!"

"You're a knowledgeable person." The house spirit laughed. "Alright, even the best elixir is meant for consumption. Quickly eat the pill and repair your will. Then, you can proceed to the third stage of the assessment! "

Gu Ding smiled when he heard the house spirit's reminder. He immediately sat down cross-legged and threw the purple pill into his mouth.

The purple Great Vajra Pill flowed down Gu Ding's throat and into his stomach. Soon, the pill began to take effect. Waves of strange energy rose from his abdomen like pervasive smoke, directly entering Gu Ding's soul space.

Gu Ding could clearly feel that after the purple smoke entered his soul space, his broken will began to heal quickly.

Just as Gu Ding's will was being repaired, two figures appeared in the trial space at almost the same time.

"Tagore!" A voice suddenly rang out.

It was Phaser and Neptune from the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.

Tagore was larger in size, so Phaser noticed him first. Neptune also quickly noticed Gu Ding's presence.

"Tagore, are you alright?" Neptune asked quickly.

"I'm fine. Gu Ding is working hard to pass the stage. The house spirit here said that as long as Gu Ding passes all the tests, he can take me out, "Tagore said as he glanced at Gu Ding in the distance.

"Where's Gu Ding?" Gu Ding's body was blocked by some large frozen corpses, so Phaser did not see him.

"Gu Ding doesn't seem to be frozen. He's sitting over there. I don't know what he's doing." Neptune pointed to where Gu Ding was.

"Welcome, two trial-takers. Since you've entered this trial space, you must at least pass the first stage of the assessment before you're allowed to leave! "The house spirit's voice rang out again.
