Chapter 382: Chapter 381 Crystal Mirror and the Egg

Tang San hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not very clear myself, it seems to be storage. In the face of the bloodline power that I have encountered, I seem to be able to store it, but the amount of storage is related to my cultivation base. Far from being comparable to your highness.""Interesting, although I am known as omnipotent, I am somewhat unable to see through your bloodline. You even have the ability to directly initiate attacks using Spiritual Power. That is not bloodline power, but an application of Spiritual Power. It has been a long time since I've seen a creature as interesting as you. You are good."

Tang San did not speak; the less said, the better.

The Crystal Great Demon Emperor spoke indifferently, "This ability of yours requires constant trials. Your method of cultivating multiple bloodlines also makes it easy to be spied upon by other tribes. Today I grant you two tokens. In the future, when you walk outside and someone questions you, they can protect you. However, when you are ready to break through to God Rank, you must come to the Crystal Palace, and I will personally protect the law for you."

Upon hearing his words, Tang San finally relaxed. This meant that the Crystal Great Demon Emperor did not take issue with his abilities, and perhaps, only he could understand someone with multiple abilities like him. However, for some reason, he always felt that this number one ranked great monster was a bit too agreeable, even without further inquiry into his abilities.

"There is another question," the Crystal Great Demon Emperor suddenly said.

Tang San felt a chill, "Please tell me."

The Crystal Great Demon Emperor said indifferently, "Why were you able to suddenly control my water just now? That is the power of Watery Expanse, do you also have this kind of bloodline power? Even if you have control over the water element, it shouldn't be depriving me of control over the water element, but rather releasing the water element separately. How did you achieve that?"

Tang San replied, "It seems that I have a natural talent to exert some control over the water element."

"Just some control?" the Crystal Great Demon Emperor asked coldly.

"Yes." This question was really hard to answer!

Fortunately, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor did not continue to ask, but looked at him with a strange gaze and waved his right hand, and two items flew towards Tang San.

The first item that arrived in front of him was, astonishingly, a round mirror. The mirror was only the size of a palm, carved entirely from crystal, with a mirage-like luster on the surface, yet it seemed to have a special kind of mystique.

"This is my Crystal Mirror, there are only nine in total. It represents the honored position of my Crystal Palace and is one of the important tokens. If someone challenges you, show it to them. The Crystal Mirror is activated with Spiritual Power and can replicate a type of bloodline power, but it can only be used once, use it carefully."

"Thank you, your highness." To be able to replicate a type of bloodline power? This was not something a magic array could do; there must be the true power of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor inside it.

The second item was already in front of Tang San; it was a sphere, completely round, and appeared crystal clear. The surface was patterned with beautiful patterns, similar to the shapes of frost flowers, emanating a translucent radiance.

It was about a foot in diameter, heavy in hand, roughly weighing about the same as Tang San's Earth Shattering Hammer.

The Crystal Great Demon Emperor said, "This is an egg, an extraordinary being cultivated by me. It is also your second trial. After it hatches, your task is to protect it, to ensure it receives no harm until you come to break through to God Rank, and bring it back here."

An egg trial? Tang San stared dumbfounded at the egg in his hand, not knowing what kind of creature it was.

The Crystal Great Demon Emperor instructed, "No matter what it asks of you, you must try your best to satisfy its needs, and if it suffers any harm, not only will your trial fail, but you will also undoubtedly die, your soul scattered. Therefore, you must protect it as if it were your own life."

Tang San's mouth twitched slightly; he didn't understand why the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had given him such a task. But now that the other party knew many of his secrets without being harmful to him, he had no right to object at this moment.

"Yes," he answered earnestly.

"Go," said the Crystal Great Demon Emperor with a sweep of his hand, and everything around them began to change in strange ways. When Tang San's vision cleared again, he found himself at the foot of the Crystal Sacred Mountain.

Above the stairs, everything still looked mysterious, and now it was utterly empty, not a single climber in sight.

Tang San felt as if he were in a dream. If it weren't for the egg and the Crystal Mirror in his hand, which were real, it would seem as if everything that had happened before was an illusion.

Quickly storing the two tokens given by the Crystal Great Demon Emperor into his Storage Bracelet, Tang San took a deep breath. Today's climb was indeed thrilling!

He had no plans to climb any other Holy Mountains, at least not before he got through the group battle in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. With the tokens from the three Holy Mountains in hand, he believed that the Arena would dare not trouble them.

As he stepped out of the entrance to the Crystal Sacred Mountain, Gu Li was already waiting for him outside.

At that moment, Gu Li had an indescribable look of excitement on his face, and he looked at Tang San somewhat eagerly, saying, "I won, I won! Haha, Xiao Tang, you lasted longer, didn't you also win? How many rounds did you win?" S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Tang San smiled and asked in return, "What about you?"

Gu Li said, "Two rounds. I won two consecutive rounds, overcoming myself twice. Didn't you remind me to think about where my strengths and weaknesses lie? I had it figured out in the first round. My biggest advantage is actually appearing before the replica. So, I charged at it directly, using Time Variation Seal to speed up, launching an attack immediately without giving it any chance to fight back, and won by suppression. When it used Time Control, so did I. I managed to win just by striking first."

"In the second round, it was still a replica. I figured it would have a way to counter. This time, instead of accelerating towards it, I sped up the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique before it even appeared. By the time it came out, I had already turned seven or eight rounds and stacked up. Then I used my Time Variation Seal against its Time Variation Seal, preventing it from controlling time. I hammered it to death."

"There was a third round, too, but I was a bit drained by then. There was a problem with building up the power of the Disorder Splitting Wind earlier on, and the replica caught the opportunity to counter and take control, so I was taken away... Ah, it's such a pity. I almost made it through the third round. I just don't know how many rounds there would be after that. If you continue to fight like this, it's quite difficult because the exhaustion is unbearable! How far did you get?"

Tang San smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't go on forever. If you could win three rounds in a row, you'd have made it directly to the mountainside. Then, you'd have to face three replicas of yourself."

"Three? Why three? How would you fight that?" Gu Li looked at Tang San, dumbfounded.

Tang San shrugged and said, "That's why, you see, I'm back too." He didn't mention his encounter with the Crystal Great Demon Emperor because he couldn't explain how he had defeated the nine replicas. With Gu Li and the others' current capabilities, facing three replicas was already their limit.

"That's terrifying. No wonder no one climbs the mountain! However, competing with the replica in Time Control really benefited me a lot. It deepened my understanding of Time Control," Gu Li sincerely said.

Tang San smiled and said, "Then keep it up, and aim to meet three of yourself next time."

Gu Li scratched his head and said, "That's still a bit tough. The third replica was obviously better at controlling time than I am, seemingly a level higher than me. I need more practice."
