“Human, you have passed Lord Keisha’s test and are qualified to inherit the Saint Light Divine Kingdom. Come with me!”
Just as Li Xin was about to send the information here to Hong and Thunder God through the Virtual Universe, he didn't expect a sudden turn of events, giving Li Xin a chance.
The Territory Lord Rank Saint-Lin Triceratops in front of him did not kill him on the spot but wanted to take him away.
“Alright, I’ll go with you!”
Immediately after, Li Xin put Laimeng and the others into his world ring. Before Li Xin could say anything, Abeiduo grabbed Li Xin with his claw and forcibly took him away.
“Hiss, so many Universe Rank and Territory Lord Rank Saint-Lin Triceratops. Fortunately, someone is leading the way, otherwise, I would definitely die if I came here alone!”
Li Xin couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the numerous Saint-Lin Triceratops ahead.
“Is this where its master is located?”
Based on the Saint-Lin Triceratops's previous words, Li Xin guessed that this world had a master, and it was currently choosing a Legacy successor.
When Abeiduo brought Li Xin into the palace, he left directly, leaving Li Xin alone there.
“Hello, human. I am Keisha, the intelligent life managing this place.”
After Li Xin arrived, Keisha’s virtual figure appeared before him.
Li Xin looked over and saw a graceful young girl with exquisite features, bright, sparkling eyes, and armor, making her appear heroic and beautiful, like a heroine who yields to no man. Her long, fair, and delicate legs made one want to caress them. With bright eyes and white teeth, she was in no way inferior to any extraordinary woman.
This was the most beautiful woman Li Xin had ever seen. She seemed to embody all the beautiful words in the world; this woman should only exist in the heavens, how could she have descended to the mortal world?
“Hello, Keisha. My name is Li Xin. May I ask why you brought me here?”
Although Keisha's beauty conformed to China's aesthetic standards, Li Xin knew that the person in front of him was merely an intelligent life. He did not lose his rationality because of this.
“Once you pass the test set by my master, I will naturally tell you everything you want to know.”
“If you fail the test, it means death, so knowing won't do you any good.”
“Li Xin, I hope you will do your best to pass my master’s test.”
Keisha did not explain much. After saying just one sentence, she disappeared directly.
The originally spacious hall was immediately sealed, transforming into a confined cage.
Li Xin looked around. All the surrounding walls were made of E9-class alloy. Even a Boundary Lord Level Nine would need to exert great effort to break through them. With Li Xin's current strength, he couldn't possibly break through the walls and escape.
And even if he escaped, what then? There were countless Universe Rank and Territory Lord Rank Saint-Lin Triceratops guarding outside. He couldn't escape at all.
Immediately after, in front of Li Xin, ten steps and a Secret Manual appeared.
“Mastering the Secret Manual within three months and reaching the tenth step will count as passing the test.”
At this moment, Keisha's voice came into Li Xin's ear.
“The Seven-Colored Soul Extinguishing Bell, a Soul Secret Manual, combines both offense and defense. It has seven layers. The first layer can be mastered at the Astral Rank. Cultivating to the highest layer, even a Champion Immortal-level Peak can be defeated.”
Li Xin couldn't help but gasp after reading the introduction to this Secret Manual. Goodness, this was a Soul-type Secret Manual, exactly what he lacked.
The Legacy he had previously obtained from the Mechanical Race Immortal did not include any Soul-type Secret Manuals.
“Unfortunately, there's only content for the first layer.”
After finishing reading the Secret Manual, Li Xin felt a bit regretful.
“Hmm? This is an illusion and consciousness pressure!”
Next, Li Xin did not immediately begin to learn the Secret Manual but walked onto the first of the ten steps.
As soon as he stepped on it, he felt a Universe Rank One Soul consciousness pressure envelop him, and there was also a demonic sound trying to pull him into an illusion.
“This level of Soul consciousness pressure and illusion cannot affect me!”
Li Xin shook his head slightly and continued to walk onto the second, third, fourth, and fifth steps.
“As I expected, the first layer is Universe Rank One, the fifth layer is Universe Rank Five, and the tenth layer should be Territory Lord Rank One Soul consciousness pressure and corresponding illusion power.”
Even after reaching the fifth layer, Li Xin could still endure it with his accumulated strength.
This test was probably meant for him to learn the Seven-Colored Soul Extinguishing Bell Secret Manual before ascending the steps.
Once he mastered the Seven-Colored Soul Extinguishing Bell, he would form a Soul Bell in his Soul to protect his Soul will, which would greatly reduce the external influence on his Soul and better assist him in reaching the tenth step.
“I want to see if I can reach the tenth step without learning this Seven-Colored Soul Extinguishing Bell!”
Perhaps if it were anyone else, they would follow the intentions of the person who set the test.
But Li Xin was no ordinary person. He was confident in his will and state of mind. He wanted to reach the tenth step purely by relying on his own will.
“It's just right; my Hundred Refinements God Forging Method needs to be perfected. Before, relying solely on pain to temper my will was too monotonous. Now, I can try adding illusions.”
So Li Xin directly sat cross-legged on the fifth step, using the Soul consciousness pressure and illusion on the steps to temper his will and mind, while also perfecting his self-created Hundred Refinements God Forging Method.
“What on earth is this human doing? He’s trying to clear the steps without Cultivating the Seven-Colored Soul Extinguishing Bell. Now that he’s encountered difficulties, he still refuses to Cultivate the Seven-Colored Soul Extinguishing Bell. Is his talent in Soul too poor?”
“But that’s not right. If his talent in Soul was too poor, he wouldn’t have reached the fifth layer so easily!”
Li Xin was not in a hurry to clear the steps nor to Cultivate the Seven-Colored Soul Extinguishing Bell, but Keisha, who was observing from the side, was anxious.
She had finally found such a powerful Genius and was hoping for this Genius to inherit her master's Legacy.
“The second direction of the state of mind, the Innocent Heart, emphasizes the combination of Yin and Yang, and balancing hardness with softness. That is, after tempering one's will to be as hard as iron and indestructible, when one finds that their will can no longer be made harder, they choose to change direction and seek a balance of hardness and softness.”
“In the original work, Luo Feng took the first direction, pursuing an extreme form of rigidity, reaching the extreme in the first direction of the state of mind.”
“The Hundred Refinements God Forging Method I created also has this meaning: using all kinds of pain, sorrow, despair, and other emotions and desires in the world as the flames to temper my will, to forge my indestructible will.”
Li Xin was immersed in the illusion, but the Eternal God Brain was very clearly deducing and perfecting the Hundred Refinements God Forging Method based on Li Xin's own insights.
He sat on the fifth layer for a whole day. Immediately after, he walked onto the sixth layer. This time, he sat for five more days.
After five days passed, he walked onto the seventh layer.
After staying on the seventh layer for six days, he walked onto the eighth layer.
Without exception, he stayed on the ninth layer for seven days!
