And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 288

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The formation shattered, and the public square began to tremble slightly again. The source of the trembling was the stone door that was dozens of feet tall.

Vaguely, everyone seemed to see another public square.

“Let’s go. From the looks of it, there should be more coming,” Gu Xi said softly and took the lead to walk towards the stone door.

Seeing this, Qing Xue and Su Lian looked at each other and slowly followed. The group passed through the stone door and saw a square.

Different from the square before, there were two balls of light above.

!!

[Ding! Ancient Cultivation Method, Mountain Splitting Fist detected!]

[Total number of flaws: 36,512!]

[Ancient spirit weapon, Soul-extinguishing Axe detected!]

[Total number of flaws: 48,519!]

[Would the Host like to extract them?]

The System’s voice sounded in his mind.

Hearing that, Gu Xi slowly shook his head.

These two items were not very useful to him, and only the Mountain Splitting Fist could slightly arouse his interest. However, if he were to obtain a treasure here, he would be hated by everyone if he were to take it later on.

Although Gu Xi was not afraid of the others with his current strength, he could still reduce the trouble by a little.

“Are we going to make a move?” Su Lian spoke again. This time, she looked directly at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi shrugged indifferently and said, “As you wish. In any case, I’m not very interested in these things.”

“Do you know what’s inside?”

Hearing this, Qing Xue raised her eyebrows and a trace of suspicion appeared in her beautiful eyes.

“I’m not sure. According to common sense, the things on the outside are definitely not as good as those in the depths.”

“If we go deeper, it won’t be too late to attack when the time comes,” Gu Xi hurriedly explained and could not help but feel a little nervous.

If someone were to discover the existence of the System, he would not even know how to explain it to them. At that time, they would have no choice but to kill them to silence them.

“You’re right. Let’s wait a little longer.”

After thinking for a moment, Qing Xue nodded her head gently and looked up.

There were already over a hundred figures rushing up there.

With their previous experience, these people surprisingly did not start fighting. Instead, after some discussion, the two of them kept the light ball.

As expected, the plaza once again trembled after the light ball disappeared.

Another huge array formation was drawn out, followed by the appearance of another formation spirit. However, this time, it was not just one, but two demon beast formation spirits!

An earth-shattering battle was about to break out!

After the battle ended, the third stone door rumbled open.

The same square, but there was one more ball of light floating in the air.

[Ding! Ancient spirit skill, Wind Spirit Steps detected!]

[Ding! Ancient spirit weapon, Hidden Dragon Halberd detected!]

It was another big battle, but Gu Xi and the others still had not made a move.

The fourth door, the fourth plaza, four balls of light.

…

And so on. Every time a new stone door was opened, the number of balls of light would increase by one.

Under the System’s detection, the quality of the treasures contained within became higher and higher.

…

Rumble —

Following the sound of friction with the ground, another stone door slowly opened.

Many contestants slowly walked in, and what greeted their eyes was still a square.

This was already the ninth square they had reached.

Compared to the ones before, this square occupied a much larger area.

Above, as expected, there were nine balls of light suspended in the air.

What was different from before was that these nine balls of light were even more dazzling. The undulations emitted from them were all not to be underestimated.

These nine treasures could be said to be extraordinary. They were all world-shocking items!

All of their breathing could not help but become heavy. Their gazes were burning with unprecedented fervor.

“This should be the last place.” Gu Xi spoke in a deep voice, and the spiritual power in his body was already restless.

Looking over, there was no longer any stone door on the other side.

“Get ready to make a move,” Qing Xue nodded slightly and said softly.

Before this, Gu Xi had not made a move once. Correspondingly, the people of the Liuli Sect also did not choose to make a move rashly.

Just like Gu Xi, they were waiting for the final moment.

At this moment, the square was silent. No one took the initiative to make a move.

Even though they were clear about the weight of the nine treasures in front of them, they were even more clear about the dangers behind these nine treasures.

From the first square until now, they had already lost more than half of their originally thousands of people. Moreover, they had not even taken into account the level before them.

Not long ago, they arrived at the eighth square and faced eight spirit arrays and eight formation spirits. These formation spirits were all extremely powerful. They were all ancient demon beasts that only existed in ancient books.

Wherever they passed, it was like wheat being harvested. No one who fell survived.

Fresh blood dyed the entire square red!

Fortunately, they had an absolute advantage in numbers. That was why they were able to forcefully turn the situation around.

The Vast Expanse Sword Domain, Star Pavilion, Raging Fire Valley, and other large sects had all suffered some losses. However, they had also obtained a treasure.

It was also because the Liuli Sect had not participated in these few battles that none of them had been reduced. They had not even used up much of their spiritual power.

However, after this battle, it was unknown how many of them were lucky enough to survive.

“Everyone, make your move.”

“Whether or not you can get the treasure will depend on your abilities!”

Qin Hai from the Raging Fire Valley shouted in a deep voice. He led the remaining two disciples of the Raging Fire Valley and rushed out, landing directly on the leftmost ball of light.

As Qin Hai made his move, a large number of figures flew out from the crowd and rushed towards the remaining ball of light.

“Do it!” Gu Xi also shouted in a deep voice. With a tap of his toes, he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards a white light ball.

After the System’s inspection, this light ball was a low-tier heaven-grade spirit array!

A heaven-grade spirit array… This was the first time Gu Xi had seen something of this level.

He was very curious, if this heaven-grade spirit array that was already very powerful was extracted by the System, how powerful would it be?

He believed that he would be able to unravel this answer very soon, because at this moment, he was already very close to the heaven-grade spirit array.

However, right at this moment, Gu Xi’s charging figure came to an abrupt halt. With a light tap of the tip of his foot, his entire body fell backward.

A few inches above him, a sharp dagger with a cold glint flashed past.

If his reaction was any slower, he might have been pierced through by this dagger!
