Chapter 864: The Third Pass: Shengling Yu! Everyone Looks on in Awe!

Xu Chen looked up.

He discovered that this Third Pass was actually a lush, verdant forest.

It looked just like the real thing.

Flowers, grass, trees, birds and beasts — almost nothing was missing.

Amidst this forest, faint ripples of Life Force could even be sensed.

Once they entered it, they felt extremely comfortable.

It made them suspect—

That this wasn't a test, but a place to raise one's realm.

Xu Chen, however, wasn't surprised at all.

Because in his previous life, he already knew—

What this Third Pass looked like: Shengling Yu.

This place seemed to be brimming with Life Force.

But in reality, it was brimming with danger.

Because although the Wanshou Emperor Dao could extract the lifespans of plants and spirit beasts,

During the extraction process, the plants and spirit beasts would all suffer greatly.

So if only a portion was extracted,

These plants and spirit beasts would fall into madness.

When that time came, they would unleash incomparably berserk attacks.

These attacks were the test.

Some of the spirit beasts here had already reached the half-step Immortal Emperor realm.

The people here wanting to pass would not be simple.

Of course, there were tricks to passing.

The trick was to soothe these plants and spirit beasts.

Killing them by force was also possible, but that wasn't called a trick.

The specifics depended on the situation and individual strength.

After all, the trials weren't meant to stop people from passing.

They were meant to test others.

Those who could reach here naturally wouldn't be weak.

Clever-minded people were more than plentiful.

But at this moment—

Xu Chen vaguely sensed—

That this trial of Zhao Luoran's—

Seemed to be a little different from his previous life.

The auras of these spirit beasts seemed to mostly be above Great Emperor Nine Heavens.

Even those at the half-step Immortal Emperor level seemed to number more than one.

In his previous life, there had only been one.

Just as he was pondering—

A male voice had already sounded throughout the world:

"Being able to reach this place is enough to prove you still have some skill.

But it's not enough — this Third Pass is the hardest.

Here there are three half-step Immortal Emperor-level berserk spirit beasts.

As well as numerous plant spirit beasts comparable to Great Emperor Nine Heavens experts.

The difficulty of passing is extremely high."

At these words, everyone's expression changed.

How could this be?

This trial was surely too difficult.

They all felt it was excessively hard.

Directly throwing in Great Emperor Nine Heavens-level and half-step Immortal Emperor-level experts—

Was this a joke?

Of the people here, how many could possibly pass?

For a moment, everyone was thoroughly depressed.

It wasn't that they were lucky to have passed the first two trials.

It was that this final trial was simply impassable.

That would be too unpleasant.

At this moment, Ye Xuan stepped forward:

"There's no need for that — have you all not noticed?

Although the first two trials were also very difficult, they all had tricks.

This trial may seem ferocious, but it must certainly have tricks as well."

At these words, everyone suddenly understood.

Yes, they had simply been too anxious.

There must be a trick to it.

So they all turned to look at Ye Xuan.

Waiting for Ye Xuan to crack it.

After all, Ye Xuan was simply too strong in this area.

Always the first one through.

This time, it was estimated, would likely be no exception.

Xu Chen said nothing either.

Ye Xuan himself, in this plotline, was meant to show off like crazy.

After all, he was the protagonist — how could he be anything less than extraordinary?

This round, he absolutely had to show off.

Then be the first to clear this pass.

Immediately after, win Zhao Luoran's favor, and then enter the final stage.

Truly a moment of boundless glory.

This — this is the protagonist.

Therefore, as the plot-following Xu Chen,

at this moment he naturally did not want to disrupt the plot.

Although, even if he disrupted it a little, it might be fine.

But he never planned to take that risk — there was really no need.

Just stand safely to one side.

Then let the plot unfold naturally — how nice, how satisfying.

That way his goal would be achieved, sweet as could be.

At this moment, hearing the words, Ye Xuan immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Since all of you trust this young one so, this young one will do his best.

After all, this young one himself must also pass this Third Pass."

Having said that, Ye Xuan directly asked Ling Zunzhe:

"Master, what do you say?"

Ling Zunzhe said:

"These spirit beasts and plants have had their lifespans forcibly drained.

So they are in great pain, and just now fell into a berserk state.
