Chapter 365
685, Trial ends, Pope comes looking
And in fact, Shui Changxu and Na Siyuan were not the only teams of the six great religions eliminated in the scene; after the trial inheritance of the Burial Grounds entered the later stage, the conflicts between the various teams erupted more intensely.
Even the Saint and Saintess candidates and guardian knights of the six great religions had the possibility of being eliminated, and it had even already appeared.
This also made Shui Changxu and Na Siyuan not look so awkward, but the point that they were the first team of the six great religions to be eliminated could not be erased.
"To be honest, how this session's trial inheritance will develop in the end, I have no way to guess," looking at the Saint and Saintess candidates and guardian knights who were transmitted back in the Burial Grounds after being eliminated one by one, Yan Zhen spoke silently.
Not only this Pope of the Flame Spirit Sect, but even the Popes of the other five great religions, or the Popes of other religions, also couldn't understand what the final outcome of this session's trial inheritance would be.
It was really because Lu Li's move directly disrupted everyone's plans; who would have thought that there would be such a bold Magic Card Master who would directly attract nearly one-third of the fierce spirits in the Burial Grounds.
The key was that the other party actually succeeded, which was even more infuriating.
"Actually, the final result might not be as bad as we imagined," it was Ying Wan who seemed to have different thoughts: "It might even be that the number of Saint and Saintess candidates who obtain the inheritance in this session will be more than in the past."
Lu Li's appearance indeed disrupted everyone's plans and even increased the number of eliminated teams.
But from another perspective, the teams that still remained in the Burial Grounds so far had their strength guaranteed at the very least, and the amount of pure energy they held, although not as outrageous as Lu Li and Yan Yuexin's, actually exceeded the average data of previous sessions.
Even the number of teams remaining was more than in previous sessions. This meant that in this session, perhaps more Saint and Saintess candidates who obtained the inheritance would appear, as long as there were no more problems next.
This point was also influenced by Lu Li.
Lu Li's actions had a multi-faceted influence on this session's trial inheritance, not only with disadvantages but also with benefits.
It was precisely because of this that although many religious Popes were dissatisfied, they didn't say much, and Lu Li's performance in the Burial Grounds was really nothing to talk about.
If one had to pick bones in an egg, one could only say that the other party took down nearly one-third of the fierce spirits in the Burial Grounds, invisibly bringing greater pressure and difficulty to other teams.
But if there was an opportunity and the strength, I'm afraid anyone would definitely try it; after all, as long as they succeeded, it would be the top-tier twin inheritance.
Not only the top-tier inheritance, but even being able to brush a lot of fame in front of other religions and improve their popularity.
Such a good opportunity, usually one wouldn't know how long it would take to come by once, but now, such a chance to show off was heavily shown off by an outsider, a Magic Card Master from the ancient kingdom, on their Holy See's territory, which was really depressing and helpless.
"Perhaps your idea isn't too bad." Yan Zhen naturally understood Ying Wan's meaning, and what's more, their Flame Spirit Sect's other team, Bei Xingyu and Qu Zhixuan, were still in the Burial Grounds and hadn't been eliminated yet.
As long as they could also pass the trial and obtain the inheritance, then the effective pass rate of the Flame Spirit Sect participating in the trial inheritance this session would reach 100%, which could be said to be a very good result.
After all, in the past, even for the six great religions, it was very rare to have this effective pass rate.
Basically, there were only a few Saint and Saintess candidates in each session, and even at the level of the six great religions, it wasn't that there hadn't been cases of returning empty-handed.
For example, the Flame Spirit Sect had once had such a situation, so a 100% effective pass rate could be said to be very awesome.
As representatives of the Flame Spirit Sect, Lu Li and Yan Yuexin had already completed half, and the remaining half depended on whether Bei Xingyu and Qu Zhixuan could grasp it.
……
"It seems it won't take long before it ends." Lu Li also looked at the screen playing on the light screen; from the mouths of Yan Qian, Yan Zhen, and others, he already knew that what he had done in the Burial Grounds was being played synchronously.
However, Lu Li didn't pay too much attention to this; after all, even if others knew, so what?
And although he had produced new Magic Cards in the Burial Grounds, special Magic Cards wouldn't give birth to creation pillars; as long as one didn't witness the appearance of creation pillars for a day, even if someone guessed that he used original Magic Cards, they wouldn't dare to guarantee it 100%.
If one were to talk about accidents, that would probably be Tiamat; after all, the other party wasn't a Magic Card spirit, but a World Will.
However, he had also kept a wary eye at the time, only letting Tiamat appear after taking back the Thunder Dragon beast.
And now, hearing Yan Zhen, Yan Qian, and others surprised that Tiamat had the ability to replenish magic for Magic Card Masters, but otherwise not showing too much surprise, Lu Li was certain that the other party didn't know Tiamat's essence.
Not only them, but the vast majority of people in the valley also couldn't see Tiamat's essence; after all, they only saw Tiamat through the light screen.
And Tiamat had no other performance besides replenishing magic for Yan Yuexin, so perhaps she was treated as an auxiliary Magic Card spirit with specialized abilities.
As for the Supreme, Lu Li couldn't say for sure.
"Lu Li kid," while he was thinking, a voice flashed in Lu Li's mind: "After this trial inheritance ends, perhaps we need to talk."
The voice appeared very abruptly, but almost instantly, Lu Li knew who the owner of the voice was.
The Pope!
The other party wanted to talk to him? Talk about what?
Hearing the statement proposed by the Pope, Lu Li couldn't help but frown, but he wasn't too surprised; rather, if the other party didn't come knocking after he showed such strength, that would really be big-hearted.
Or using the point of having absolute certainty to describe it might be more appropriate.
However, although the Pope came knocking, Lu Li didn't detect any dissatisfaction from the other party's tone, and it even carried a trace of expectation.
686, Complex, in short, it's very complex
It was precisely because he didn't hear anything inappropriate from the Pope's tone that Lu Li didn't have a big reaction.
No problem!
After thinking about it repeatedly, Lu Li still wanted to see what this Supreme Realm expert of the Holy See was looking for him for, and nodded at the other party without a trace.
Regarding this, the Pope didn't have any reaction, and didn't even have the action of turning his head, but Lu Li wasn't worried that the other party didn't know his action just now.
"Something up?" Lu Li's action was very slight, even Yan Qian and Yan Zhen didn't notice it, but Yan Yuexin noticed it.
Not only because she was standing by Lu Li's side, but also because of the effect of the twin inheritance, which allowed Yan Yuexin to vaguely feel the change in Lu Li's state of mind just now.
Although it was very vague, the young lady didn't think her feeling was wrong.
"Nothing," Lu Li rubbed the young lady's head: "Alright, the trial inheritance is almost over, let's prepare too."
There was no need to say anything about the communication between him and the Pope, and this wasn't a suitable place either.
Moreover, Lu Li also thought that the Pope wouldn't come knocking on him directly here; more likely, he would wait until they returned to the Flame Spirit Sect before taking action.
"Oh." Feeling the warmth in Lu Li's hand, Yan Yuexin didn't pursue the question, just obediently saying "oh".
Although because of the twin inheritance, the relationship between the two had become unusual, but since Lu Li didn't want to say, Yan Yuexin wouldn't ask.
……
As time passed, the sun above the valley had set, and the moon hung high in the sky; a whole day had passed, and the last team also left the Burial Grounds at this time.
The opening of the Burial Grounds and the opening of the trial inheritance would only last for one day; if they didn't collect or purify enough fierce spirits and didn't obtain the inheritance within this day, they would still be transmitted away, meaning failure.
The portal of the Burial Grounds slowly closed in everyone's eyes, which also represented the official end of this session's trial inheritance of the Holy See.
However, the mood of everyone in the valley had now become very subtle, especially the gazes looking at Lu Li and Yan Yuexin, which had become incomparably complex.
No matter from which aspect one looked at it, the trial inheritance of the Saint and Saintess candidates this session was absolutely the most unpredictable, the most difficult to guess the direction of development, and also the most complex for their moods in all previous sessions.
From the process, Lu Li's appearance and actions directly broke their original plans and messed up the entire trial inheritance; they should be very unhappy with Lu Li.
But if one looked at the result, they had no way to say anything about the other party. At the very least, the six great religions didn't have this intention.
Because, after Lu Li's mess, the number of Saint and Saintess candidates who obtained the inheritance this session was actually more than in the past.
Although it wasn't that every religion could get a share, at the very least the six great religions, including the Water Spirit Sect, more or less had Saint and Saintess candidates who obtained the inheritance.
This was a grand occasion that almost wouldn't appear in the past. In this regard, using "grand occasion" to describe it was completely fine.
It was precisely because of this that the mood of everyone in the valley toward Lu Li was so complex; after all, if there were no Lu Li, then there wouldn't be so many accidents in this session's trial inheritance.
But at the same time, if there were no Lu Li, then the result of this session's trial inheritance wouldn't be like this, and it would most likely be the same as in the past, without much difference.
It was just that complex moods were complex, but depression was inevitable. And the point they were depressed about was the inheritance obtained by Lu Li and Yan Yuexin.
Twin inheritance, the Burial Grounds had been opened for so many sessions, the first top-tier inheritance to appear was actually obtained by two Magic Card Masters from the ancient kingdom; this was simply outrageous!
But, because the one who obtained the twin inheritance, this top-tier inheritance, wasn't a Magic Card Master of the Holy See, it wouldn't cause any impact on the existing situation of the various religions of the Holy See, which was a blessing in misfortune.
Anyway, their mood now was complex, very complex. Even the Pope had a laughing-crying thought about this result.
Although there was a variable like Lu Li, the performance of the Holy See's Saint and Saintess candidates was also not very satisfactory...
It was a pity that it was too late to say anything now; after all, this was an established fact.
Regardless of what thoughts these people had, could they still snatch the inheritance of Lu Li and Yan Yuexin? But that was impossible.
The trial inheritance had experienced so many sessions, and he had never heard of any Saint or Saintess who obtained the inheritance having their inheritance snatched.
"Alright, the opening of the Burial Grounds this time has come to an end for now; I hope all the Saints and Saintesses who obtained the inheritance can make good use of the inheritance obtained and strive to improve their own strength," the Pope's voice slowly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
However, the Pope didn't say too much, just swept his gaze over everyone present, and finally stayed on Lu Li for a few seconds, and his figure gradually dissipated.
Clearly, this Supreme Realm powerhouse of the Holy See had already left here. If it weren't for the appearance of the original Magic Card producer, perhaps he wouldn't have appeared for this session's trial inheritance either.
It was a pity that only the Pope himself knew this point, and he didn't need to say it out.
The Pope's departure also represented a signal, that is, since he didn't take action against Yan Qian, Lu Li, and the others, other people who wanted to take action had to consider the pros and cons clearly before taking action.
Let alone, the Pope had also indicated not long ago not to take action against this ancient kingdom team.
But, before the Pope left, the gaze that fell on Lu Li was clearly seen by everyone.
So, what did the Pope mean by this?
Before guessing the Pope's thoughts, almost everyone didn't dare to act rashly.
If the Pope had plans, and it was affected by their rash actions, then that would be troublesome.
Thus, under everyone's gaze, Yan Zhen and Yan Qian took everyone and left the valley safely.
And as the Pope and Lu Li, the two protagonists, left, the remaining people in the valley looked at each other and also returned to their homes.
Anyway, they would definitely not easily forget this trial inheritance.
