At this moment, Xiao Yefeng noticed that the woman was wearing an Onmyoji outfit, and there was a distinct bullet hole at the hem of her left chest. After casting a glance at Xiao Yefeng, she immediately began to choose her room. Soon after, Liu Entai appeared. As he looked at the Female Onmyoji who had already ascended the stairs, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. At that moment, Deng Yixin approached Liu Entai and asked, "How come there's an extra one?"
"Don't mention it. At the last moment, she actually woke up. After I fired a shot, she managed to dodge it, and I ended up being hit by her Seduction Technique. I almost fell into a trap!" Liu Entai gritted his teeth.
"Seduction Technique? The number of Female Onmyoji skilled in Seduction Technique from Wa Country is few and far between. The youngest among the younger generation must be over sixty! Even if Wa Country's Female Onmyoji maintain their youth well, she shouldn't appear this young! Who exactly is this woman? Why is there no information about her?" Deng Yixin said as he looked at her.
"What about the others? Did you eliminate them?" Deng Yixin asked.
"Don't even get me started. After I fired that shot, the bodies of the other people were covered by that senior's aura; the bullets couldn't penetrate at all! It seems everything will have to wait until we exit the ruins!" Liu Entai shook his head.
"Forget it, both of you seniors. Let's focus on our own doors! After all, opportunities only come once; if we miss it, it's gone!" Xiao Yefeng said as he sat cross-legged, calming his mind to open his Spirit and continuously sense everything around him. Each door had its own vibrations, and Xiao Yefeng was attuning himself to the one that resonated most with him.
Time passed slowly. The first to open his eyes was Liu Entai. He looked toward a door on the third floor and walked in. Suddenly, the door flashed with light and disappeared, meaning that whatever was inside could only belong to Liu Entai. Seeing this scene, the others quickly followed suit. Soon after, Deng Yixin found a door that suited him best; however, seeing Xiao Yefeng still searching raised a hint of confusion in his heart.
Everyone was searching together; it was impossible for Xiao Yefeng not to have found one yet. Moreover, when searching with Spirit, the right door would actively seek out one's Spirit. Deng Yixin felt drawn to three doors and after much deliberation chose the seventh room on the fourth floor. Yet Xiao Yefeng still hadn't made a decision—how many doors' energies had attracted him?
Just then, Kazama Tadao from Wa Country suddenly stood up and looked toward the seventh room on the fourth floor. At this point, Deng Yixin could no longer wait; the aura emanating from that room clearly indicated it contained treasures capable of enhancing absorption of surrounding Qi and accelerating cultivation speed—he couldn't let this Demon take it away. Although he felt a bit worried about Xiao Yefeng, with competition for the seventh door emerging, Deng Yixin had no choice but to act.
Fortunately, Kazama Tadao was quite far from the seventh room on the fourth floor. Deng Yixin quickly closed the distance and leaped up to the fourth floor in just a few steps. Meanwhile, Kazama Tadao stood at the edge of the fourth floor. Just as Kazama Tadao's angry gaze fell upon him, Deng Yixin opened the seventh door and stepped inside while giving Kazama Tadao a smile.
Seeing this scene made Kazama Tadao stomp his foot in anger. He could sense what Deng Yixin sensed; however, since the seventh door had already vanished, he could only settle for second best and entered the tenth door on the fourth floor. At that moment, Sakai Tomokazu had just opened his eyes and saw Kazama Tadao walk into the tenth door. Upon witnessing this sight, Sakai Tomokazu felt like his teeth were about to shatter in frustration—there were only two doors that resonated with him closely, and now Kazama Tadao had chosen the one most aligned with him!
Sakai Tomokazu was filled with unusual anger but helplessly punched the ground in frustration before walking toward another nearby door. Thus, only Xiao Yefeng and the woman from Wa Country remained in Stellar Palace. At this moment, the woman from Wa Country had also found her door; after glancing at Xiao Yefeng and shaking her head, she entered a large door on the second floor.
As others fought over a door, Xiao Yefeng was troubled by how to make his choice. It wasn't that there were too few options or that many had already disappeared; rather, there were too many suitable ones. If he compared the strength of the portals' auras, there were more than ten in the first tier alone. He waved his hand to disperse the energies of those ten, then carefully selected and dismissed eight more, leaving him with two that still gave him a headache.
One of these two contained a destructive aura of Feng Shui Techniques, while the other was a solid Body Refinement Technique. One was offensive, the other defensive; each had its merits, and for a moment, Xiao Yefeng found it impossible to choose. In terms of personal preference and pursuit, he actually wanted to study the Body Refinement Technique. However, given how powerful the Perfect World was now, even Jiang Xing didn't dare to engage lightly.
It seemed that the destructive Feng Shui Techniques should be what he pursued most. After all, Feng Shui techniques utilized the forces between the earth; Xiao Yefeng didn't believe that those in the Perfect World were so powerful that they could withstand Earthly Power!
However, relying on external forces for victory was not Xiao Yefeng's goal. Thus, after much contemplation, he decided to randomly pick one. His Spirit swept between the two auras, smoothing them out before he casually waved one away. At that moment, the white light granted to him by Zhao Yin Gate reappeared in his Spirit Platform and emitted a gentle sound of confusion upon seeing Xiao Yefeng's choice.
Then this Cheap Brother said, "You can't just rely on luck! This is really worrying; come back!" After speaking, the aura that Xiao Yefeng had swept away returned to its place while the remaining one vanished. The white light then flashed into Zhao Yin Gate, unnoticed by Xiao Yefeng.
"Ah? It's actually the Body Refinement Technique! In that case, I'll go with this one!" After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yefeng stepped into a large door beside him. Indeed, it was this very door next to him—the one everyone overlooked despite being right at the entrance where anyone entering could see it.
This is often referred to as "darkness under the lamp"; when one enters a treasure trove, they are rarely attracted by treasures near the entrance—it's human nature. After stepping through this door, Wenren Zhongheng, who had been hidden above in the palace, was taken aback. He thought to himself: Why did he choose this? Although Body Refinement is suitable for today's Qi-deprived world, this cultivation method has its drawbacks!
Though Wenren Zhongheng felt puzzled, everyone has their own path; he could no longer interfere with Xiao Yefeng's journey. As the last person in the first tier, Xiao Yefeng found himself alone in Stellar Palace. With a long sigh, Wenren Zhongheng muttered to himself: "Since Earth has entered a new era, let’s allow those in Heart's Trial to come in!"
With that said, Wenren Zhongheng's light flashed and everyone trapped in Heart's Trial felt their vision blur before they opened their eyes again to find themselves in control of their bodies. The people from Huaxia looked at their teammates simultaneously while Mo Fei curiously examined her hands. She pressed her heart pulse and discovered it was indeed still beating. Mo Fei felt confused.
How strange! Wasn't I already pierced through the heart by that Spider Spirit? Indeed, during Heart's Trial, Mo Fei had successfully activated her Primordial Energy within her body; however, she lost in battle. Her dual blades severed the Spider Spirit's head but its claws pierced her heart—both perished together!
At this moment, Mo Fei couldn't understand why she was still alive. Just then, everyone remaining received a transmission from Wenren Zhongheng: "You have failed the Heart's Trial and should have been buried with my cave dwelling. However, I am aware of the current situation outside; your suffering during this trial was unforeseen on my part. So come now! In the central Stellar Palace lies my legacy; feel free to choose any large door you wish. After obtaining my legacy, do not commit needless slaughter; even an Extraordinary Person should not act against their principles!"
Wenren Zhongheng's words filled everyone with joy; any subsequent issues became irrelevant. The remaining individuals rushed toward the spiritual spring at last and entered one after another through hundreds of doors based on their insights. Among Wa Country's six members, three Onmyoji from the first tier entered Stellar Palace while one fell at Xiao Yefeng's hands—leaving two Jonin remaining.
As for the Yue Country, things were dire. Three had come, but one Sorcerer died at Xiao Yefeng's hands before he even regained consciousness. The leader, Ruan Sanyun, was attacked by Thunderfire, his corpse floating on the surface of a pool. At this moment, only one Sorcerer remained, while the twelve from Huaxia had suffered no casualties at all. It seemed that Huaxia was the biggest winner of this expedition.
However, who the true winner was remained uncertain, as only those who returned alive could claim victory. Excluding the three dead, the remaining twenty-one had all entered the Stellar Palace to select their inheritances. Outside the Bronze Door, the flickering twenty-four red lanterns had extinguished three of them, startling Jiang Xing and his companions. Upon closer inspection, they realized that two belonged to Yue Country and one to Wa Country.
"President, have deaths begun?" Cao Man asked, looking at the Bronze Door.
"That's not right; the death rate is unusual. In previous instances, deaths occurred much more rapidly. It seems there’s a problem this time. I hope they all make it back safely," Jiang Xing pondered.
Meanwhile, this was merely a conversation among the three. Xiao Yefeng found himself in a peculiar world. Pushing open a door, he entered a strange circular room where a giant puppet stood. Beneath it was a stone platform, and atop that platform rested an exquisite box.
