【The fifth trial is the Spleen Trial. The spleen corresponds to Earth in the Five Elements. As soon as you enter this trial, you feel like you've arrived in a desolate land, filled with the aura of soil. Ten earth-yellow giants appear before you, each radiating the imposing aura of a peak tenth-layer Golden Core cultivator. You even sense a nascent soul aura from one of the leading giants!】
“As expected of the fifth trial, the difficulty is indeed greater than the fourth. Although these giants are fewer in number than the White Tigers, there's a nascent soul existence among them.”
Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes, cautiously watching the front. At this moment, yellow sand swirled wildly, and the earth-yellow giants roared as they charged towards him!
Each step these earth-yellow giants took on the ground was accompanied by a thunderous roar.
Although there were only ten earth-yellow giants, Lin Changqing felt more pressure than he did from the White Tigers in the fourth trial.
【You drew the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber from behind you and began a bloody battle with these earth-yellow giants. For the first hundred moves, these earth-yellow giants fought you to a standstill, and you were even slightly at a disadvantage. You weren't too surprised, after all, there was a nascent soul existence among them.】
【By the two hundredth move, you fought like a madman, summoning the power of the five Primordial True Dragons, and using your White Bone Divine Power to continuously strike, finally killing the earth-yellow giant with the nascent soul aura. After another hundred moves, reaching the three hundredth move, you were covered in injuries, but at this moment you had killed three more earth-yellow giants, leaving six remaining.】
“It’s time to end this!” Lin Changqing gasped for breath. He drew the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber and unleashed seven consecutive strikes, each carrying an unparalleled aura, towards the remaining earth-yellow giants.
With a bang, the saber struck the earth-yellow giants, creating a deafening collision!
【The battle resumed just like that, and after another two hundred moves of bloody fighting over half an hour, you finally killed all the earth-yellow giants!】
【After killing the earth-yellow giants, you thought you would pass the fifth trial, but you suddenly discovered that the sixth trial didn't appear. More importantly, you discovered that the yellow sand was sweeping towards you, enveloping you, and you couldn't resist this power.】
【Instantly, you were buried by the yellow sand and lost consciousness. When you woke up again, you had turned into a small yellow grass, rooted in this desolate land, surrounded by swirling sandstorms.】
【You've turned into a grass!? You were incredibly surprised, and you wondered what was going on with this fifth trial? But after a moment, your doubts were resolved.】
【A grand voice came from the fifth trial, seemingly from the artifact spirit of the temple. After hearing these words, you understood that becoming a blade of grass was the final test of the fifth trial.】
【Since the spleen corresponds to Earth in the Five Elements, and Earth represents the earth and the vitality of all things, the fifth trial not only tests a person's combat power. After you killed the earth-yellow giants, the fifth trial transformed you into a blade of grass to test your vitality.】
【To pass the fifth trial is simple: you must use the power of vitality to stimulate yourself, transforming from a blade of grass into a thousand-zhang tall tree, demonstrating your mastery of the vitality power of the Earth element.】
【You secretly sighed. This fifth trial was indeed more difficult than the previous four. Not only were the earth-yellow giants strong in battle, but the final test also examined a person's mastery of the Earth element's vitality power. An ordinary person really couldn't pass the fifth trial.】
【But this wasn't difficult for you. You had the World Tree Fragment to stimulate vitality, so the final test of becoming a blade of grass was just a simple matter.】
【You began to use the World Tree Fragment in your dantian to stimulate the grass's vitality. In the first ten minutes, you grew from a yellow grass into a three-meter tall sapling. After another hour, you grew from a three-meter sapling into a hundred-meter tree. Finally, after five hours, you continuously stimulated your growth, eventually becoming a thousand-zhang tall tree, and the yellow sand stopped before you.】
【As you grew into a ten-thousand-meter tall tree, you felt a surge of Earth-attribute power flowing from your spleen, and your liver began to be refined, and after ten minutes, your liver was refined to ninety percent.】
【At this moment, your heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and spleen have all been refined to ninety-nine percent. Each internal organ is only a little bit away from reaching perfection. Your combat power is now at least twice as strong as when you first entered the Five Elements Divine Temple!】
【A new trial appeared before you. You knew that you had finally passed the fifth trial, and the trial before your eyes was the hidden sixth trial.】
“As long as I pass the sixth trial, I can refine my internal organs to perfection.”
【You entered the sixth trial with anticipation. The Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess had both failed this trial, and you wondered what the sixth trial held.】
【As you stepped into the sixth trial, your name on the stone tablet outside remained unchanged, still in third place, but the color recording your name changed from ordinary black to gold. This gold color was the same as that recording the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess. The gold lettering indicated that a person had passed the fifth trial.】
【When the princes, princesses, and retainers outside saw your name turn gold, they were all shocked and incredulous. None of them had expected that you would actually pass the fifth trial! Becoming a figure comparable to the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess.】
“Heavens, look quickly! Lin Changqing's name on the stone tablet has turned gold! This means he has passed the fifth trial! That's too strong, isn't it? In the past, several Nine-纹 Golden Cores couldn't pass the fifth trial. Only the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess could pass the fifth trial, and now Lin Changqing can do it too. It's unbelievable!” The Confucian scholar exclaimed, pointing at the name on the stone tablet.
The middle-aged man next to him was also incredibly shocked and muttered, “Unbelievable, he actually passed the fifth trial. Does this mean that this Lin Changqing can be compared to the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess in the same realm!?”
The middle-aged man's words immediately caused a huge uproar in the hearts of the princes, princesses, and retainers present.
Comparing him to the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess in the same realm, what did that mean? They were all too clear in their hearts!
The Seventeenth Princess looked at Lin Changqing's name on the stone tablet with rapid breathing. Although Lin Changqing, as her retainer, had already given her countless surprises, today's surprise was still too great.
At this moment, the Seventeenth Princess suddenly had an idea.
That is, if Lin Changqing could be compared to the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess in the same realm, wouldn't that mean that when Lin Changqing grows up in the future, she would have the capital to compete with the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess?
“Hmph, how dare you speak recklessly!? So what if he passed the fifth trial? He's still in third place. The Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess are incomparable to others.”
【These words were spoken by some of the retainers under the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess. They were naturally furious when they heard someone comparing Lin Changqing to the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess.】
【In their hearts, the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess were invincible, and they naturally couldn't tolerate anyone comparing them to others.】
