Chapter 43: Lin Xian'er, Xiao Wuyai

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's voice transmission, Ye Qingxue remained silent for quite a while.

She asked herself if her courage was already great enough, otherwise she would not have dared to kill her fellow disciples.

She had not expected Wang Jianqiang's courage to be even greater.

No, it should be called crazier.

The disciples capable of entering the Secret Realm were all elites of the Outer Sect of their respective sects, the backbone of the sects' future.

If a few died, the sects might feel it was of no consequence and would not pursue the matter.

But if everyone were killed, the losses to the sects would be immense.

At that time, let alone the leading Elder outside the Secret Realm.

The leaders of the Four Great Powers would likely all go mad!

After regaining her composure, her faint voice transmission entered Wang Jianqiang's ears, "There is still a leading Elder sitting in town outside the Secret Realm; the methods of a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage are beyond our ability to fathom."

"We might not necessarily be able to keep it hidden then."

"Is that so." A flash of regret crossed Wang Jianqiang's face, "Then let it be."

Having said that, he looked at the remaining two people who were watching him vigilantly.

"Kill these two as well."

Ye Qingxue did not transmit her voice again; two condensed streams of Spiritual Power shot out after Wang Jianqiang's words, piercing through the two people's skulls.

Wang Jianqiang had Wang Yuyao collect the Prayer Mats, while he himself collected four more Storage Bags, then his gaze turned toward the third High Platform.

A moment later.

The third Prayer Mat was easily obtained, and at the same time, Wang Jianqiang harvested six more Storage Bags.

"Next, let's enter the Medicine Garden."

As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang looked at Wang Yuyao.

Wang Yuyao understood, took out all three Prayer Mats, placed them at her feet, and then sat cross-legged on one of the Prayer Mats.

Wang Jianqiang also sat on a Prayer Mat.

Ye Qingxue revealed her figure and sat on the third Prayer Mat.

Afterwards, the three people's Spirit Sense spread out, communicating with the Stone Stele.

The Prayer Mats beneath the three people suddenly erupted with a burst of Spirit Light.

The next moment, the three people and the Prayer Mats beneath them disappeared simultaneously.

……

In an ancient bronze hall.

Spirit Light flashed, and three figures appeared simultaneously.

"Is this the Medicine Garden?"

Wang Jianqiang looked around, stunned.

Wang Yuyao also looked at Ye Qingxue in confusion.

No matter how one looked at it, this place did not seem like a place where Spirit Medicine could be planted.

"This should be a transit station." Ye Qingxue looked around and pondered for a moment before saying.

"A transit station?"

"That's right." Ye Qingxue nodded and pointed to the surroundings, "Do you see these doors?"

Wang Jianqiang and Wang Yuyao nodded.

They had already noticed earlier that there were nine portals evenly distributed on the walls surrounding the hall.

Strangely.

The light inside the hall was clearly sufficient, but behind these portals, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the slightest scene behind the portals.

"Walking into these doors allows one to enter the Assessment Space; passing the assessment allows one to be teleported into the Medicine Garden," Ye Qingxue continued.

Wang Jianqiang nodded thoughtfully.

"Since that is the case, then let's go in."

Having said that, he picked a door at random and walked in.

Wang Yuyao and Ye Qingxue followed behind him.

Just as the two stepped into the entrance, an irresistible resistance suddenly pushed them back.

"What is going on?"

Wang Yuyao was startled and looked at Ye Qingxue.

Ye Qingxue's brows were tightly locked, and after a moment, as if she had thought of something, her expression changed, "Oh no, I forgot one thing."

"What thing?" Wang Yuyao stared at her intently.

"Each portal can only be entered by three people within one assessment period, and the difficulty of the assessment is set according to the first person who enters."

"What!!"

Hearing Ye Qingxue's words, Wang Yuyao's expression changed drastically.

That is to say, two people had already entered this portal before Senior Brother Wang entered, and they had not yet passed the assessment!

In this way, wouldn't Senior Brother Wang be participating in the assessment with those two people after entering?

If those two were both at the Qi Refining stage, it would be fine, but if there were a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they were the first to enter...

Doesn't that mean Senior Brother Wang has to undergo an assessment at the Foundation Establishment Stage level!!!!

……

After walking into the portal.

Wang Jianqiang only felt his vision go black, and when his sight recovered, he discovered that he had already arrived in a strange space.

After discovering that Wang Yuyao and Ye Qingxue did not appear in the surroundings, he frowned.

"What is going on?"

"Where are Yu Yao and little Xue'er?"

"Did we get separated, or did they fail to get in?"

Just then, a scent of blood drifted over.

Wang Jianqiang immediately snapped back to his senses and walked forward.

A moment later, several massive corpses appeared before him.

These were four giant bird corpses, each over ten zhang tall.

The bird corpses were covered in wounds so deep the bones were visible.

"Huh, these wounds don't seem to have been caused by Spirit Beasts fighting; they look more like... they were caused by a Cultivator!"

Wang Jianqiang's eyes flashed, "Could it be that someone already entered here before me?"

He pondered for a moment and continued walking forward.

The moment he entered this space, the assessment information had already appeared in his mind.

That was to head to the Core Land of this space.

There was a Transmission Array there that led directly to the Medicine Garden upon leaving this space.

The direction he was heading in was precisely the direction of the Core Land.

Along the way.

He had encountered over ten Spirit Beast corpses, which all appeared to have been slain by the person who entered before him.

While this made him feel alarmed, he could not help but feel fortunate as well.

What alarmed him was the other person's strength.

Among these dead Spirit Beasts, several were exceptionally terrifying.

Even though they were already dead, the lingering aura still gave him a heart-stopping sensation.

This pressure was just like Ye Qingxue after her breakthrough.

To be able to slay several such powerful Spirit Beasts in succession, the strength of that person could be imagined.

He figured it must be a Top-tier Prodigy from some sect, and like Ye Qingxue, they had already successfully reached Foundation Establishment.

What was worth celebrating was.

Precisely because that person was strong enough to slay all the Spirit Beasts along the way.

He was able to walk here safely.

Otherwise, if he had encountered those few Foundation Establishment Stage Spirit Beasts, he would have been in deep trouble.

Two days later.

A powerful wave of combat suddenly transmitted from up ahead.

"Is that person fighting a Spirit Beast?"

Wang Jianqiang's expression tightened, and he immediately stopped moving forward.

The person who entered first was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He did not know the other person's identity, and meeting them rashly would only put himself in a passive and dangerous position.

Not until the combat waves disappeared did he condense the Wood Sword Array, making it cling tightly to his body like clothing.

Only after confirming that his aura had been restrained to the extreme did he slowly approach the direction from which the combat waves had come.

Not long after, in a patch of weeds.

Wang Jianqiang gently pushed aside the weeds blocking his path, and immediately, a battlefield appeared before his eyes.

A massive Spirit Beast corpse was lying on the broken ground.

On the corpse, the still-lingering powerful aura reminded him that this corpse was also a Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast while it was alive.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was examining the Spirit Beast corpse on the battlefield, a man's voice suddenly came over.

"We have killed seven Foundation Establishment Spirit Beasts back and forth; this assessment is truly perverted."

Wang Jianqiang looked toward a corner of the battlefield, and two figures, a man and a woman, immediately came into view.

The man was handsome and extraordinary, standing out from the crowd.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a slender figure and an ethereal temperament.

The moment he saw the two of them, two names immediately popped into Wang Jianqiang's mind.

Lin Xian'er!

Xiao Wuya!
