Chapter 93: Chapter 93 - The Trials Of The Forebears ! (Part 1)
As the Golem trial assistant explained some of the details about the trials, what caught Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing's attention was the fact that there's even a certain chance of death. It goes to show, just how hard the trials can be for some.
But they weren't scared or anxious as the power they have cultivated far exceeds their own Cultivation base.
Looking at the emrald tokens in their hands, Both Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing looked at each other and in a tacit understanding, put them away in their respective storage ring and system space. After all, they were both confident that they wouldn't need it at all.
After finishing his explanation, the mechanical golem asked,
"Do you wish to proceed for the trials?"
The same mechanical voice as before came into their ears and both Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing answered at the same time,
"Yes...
The moment, they answered in affirmative, the golem made a slight creaking noise and the next moment, he went towards one side of the wall and this particular section of the wall opened suddenly without any noise at all.
The golem went through the passage created in the wall and said to Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing,
"Please follow me, inheritors."
After saying that, he went through the passage as Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing followed his way.
Both of them came towards the passage but it seemed extremely dark and they couldn't see anything even if they used spiritual power as if a thin layer of darkness separates the both sides of this passage.
Mo Yuxin first put her hands on this darkness and weirdly it went through and she clearly felt an invisible force as if she really passed through a thin layer of barrier of some kind.
Mo Yuxin took back her hand and subconsciously held Su Yubing's hand and said in a soft voice,
"Let's go."
"Umm..
A low audible hum sounded and Mo Yuxin took the first step and stepped towards the passage and Su Yubing followed right beside her.
The moment, their bodies passed through the passage, they felt as if they've travelled to a completely different place as the air around seemed particularly refreshing.
They opened their eyes and found that the place they've come is nothing but a vast expanse of greenery with only a single standing tree into the distance.
The golem was standing a small distance away from where they were and was looking at them as if waiting for them.
Seeing them arriving in this place, the golem again started walking but this time, he walked towards that single standing tree at the distance.
The tree looked normal when Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing looked from the distance but as they came closer, they saw that the tree was actually huge and can even be called a simple giant. It stand to about more than 50 feet high, simple yet majestic, standing like the last pillar holding up the whole world.
The tree looked simple but the huge amount of lifeforce, exuding from it makes it obvious that this is not a simple tree.
Infornt of the tree, there was a high pedestal that was completely white and stood about a few meters tall. Once the golem reached the pedestal, he took out two talisman from somewhere and handing it to them before he started explaining,
"There's a formation here that can only be activated by me once the inheritors come.
If you both are, I will activate the formation and it will immediately capture both of your position thanks to the talisman and you will transported to the first trial."
After finishing speaking in his mechanical voice, the golem simply waited as if to receive their answer.
Mo Yuxin an Su Yubing looked at each other and Mo Yuxin said,
"Yes. We both are ready for the trials."
The golem made a creaking sound again and led them both towards the pedestal and asked them to stand on it as he activated the formation.
The white pedestal suddenly emmited a fait golden light as the smooth surface of the pedestal started shining with intricate runic patters on it. And the next moment, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing felt a blinding flash of light as their bodies were sucked away by the formation and sent to the place of trials.
As soon as they opened their eyes, Both Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing found themselves in a completely different passage like a tunnel.
The walls as well as the floor and even the roof of this tunnel were made by a strange black stone like material which gives off the same feeling as the buildings in the underground city.
Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing looked at each other and Su Yubing couldn't help but ask,
"Where's the trial? Has it already started?"
"I don't know. But this place is strange. Maybe the trial has already started or maybe we have to continue down this path to reach the trials. Anyway, let's check it out." Mo Yuxin said.
"Ok." Su Yubing replied in a concise manner as they both started walking forward in this long tunnel.
As they walked through the tunnel, they didn't encounter any obstacles like the traps shown in the novels but instead as they kept walking forward, everything around the tunnel looked exactly the same as before making it difficult to know whether they've truly walked forward or simply stayed in one place.
The whole tunnel seemed like it was playing with their minds and if there was anyone else, they definitely would feel suffocating in such a strange place.
After what seemed like hours, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing kept walking forward but nothing changed in this tunnel, not even the route as the tunnel only kept going forward in a long straight line.
Seeing that they didn't encounter anything even after hours of walking and the tunnel didn't even lead them to left or right, Mo Yuxin finally felt a bit irritated and couldn't help but say,
"Sigh... What's going on. We're just walking endlessly."
Hearing her complaining, Su Yubing just smiled a little but she also frowned the next second,
"I don't even feel any energy fluctuations here. It means it's not any sort of illusion."
Hearing her say this, Mo Yuxin also nodded,
"Yeah. If it was an illusion, I would definitely be able to feel it but this tunnel is just a simple long winding tunnel with no end in sight."
Saying this, Both looked at each other as the next second, Mo Yuxin suddenly said,
"Wait. Let me try something." She said and she took out the dusk lily pin and it enlarged into her long sword the next moment.
Mo Yuxin simply held the sword in her hand and looked at Su Yubing before nodding and taking away her hand from Su Yubing's and said,
"Wait a second. Let me see if I can directly break through the walls on the side here."
Hearing her Su Yubing frowned slightly and looked at their hands which were separated and felt a little anxious for no reason but didn't say anything as she thought that maybe it was just a feeling. But she couldn't help but say in a soft and warm voice,
"Be careful."
Hearing her voice and noticing the concern in them, Mo Yuxin smiled at her and went towards the wall on one side and positioned herself for the strike.
She simply injected a large amount of Spiritual energy in the sword and thenext second, a fiery aura burst out from her as the centre. Mo Yuxin looked calm and collected as she simply made a downward slash at one position on the wall.
"Boom!!!
With a loud bang, the sword strike hit the wall but surprisingly, it bounced right off the wall and there was nothing but a simple scratch on it as it even repaired itself the next second.
Seeing all this, Mo Yuxin frowned and was about to turn around to face Su Yubing, when a slightly suprised voice of a woman floated into her ears.
Suddenly, she felt her heart almost jumping out of her throat as a anxiousness filled her and quickly turned around to face Su Yubing whose voice she heard.
As she turned around, it only only in time for her to see the ends of Su Yubing's long hair before she completely fell into a gap opened in te floor the tunnel and disappeared completely from Mo Yuxin's sight!
Mo Yuxin felt her blood going cold as she immediately flashed right towards where Su Yubing disappeared.
"Yubing!!!!" She screamed almost in a moment of huge anxiousness as she used every ounce of her power to run towards Su Yubing.
But before she could reach the gap, it quickly closed itself right before her face.
Mo Yuxin was soo anxious that Su Yubing disappeared right before her, she couldn't help but use her bare hands to punch the place where the g
ap opened almost instantly.
"Boom!!
A lound bang sounded and her hands full of spiritual power couldn't even make a dent on it!
But
