Dragon Yuan plus system, I, Emperor Shi Tian, ​​sweep across the heavens

This peaceful place is completely different from the dangerous witch trial.

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. This place is probably not simple." The divine power in Indra's body quietly circulated, and he looked around vigilantly.

In this space where despair and killing coexist, the sudden appearance of such a paradise-like scene is itself full of incongruity.

The so-called "hermit trial" is definitely not as peaceful and harmless as it seems.

"Xiao Qi, can you find out anything?" Emperor Shitian muttered to himself.

"Host, this place is shrouded by an extremely sophisticated ban, and my detection ability has been greatly suppressed."

Xiao Qi's voice sounded in Emperor Shitian's mind, with a hint of solemnity, "But I can feel that this area is filled with a very ancient and powerful aura."

"It seems... there is also a hint of... temptation. Host, there seems to be some secret hidden here, please be careful."

Indra nodded slightly, understanding.

He stepped forward and set foot on the path leading to the bamboo forest.

The path is paved with bluestone, winding and twisting, with green bamboos on both sides. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle, adding a bit of tranquility.

The air is filled with a light scent of sandalwood, refreshing and refreshing, as if it could wash away the hostility and anxiety in one's heart.

However, Indra's state of mind was as calm as an ancient well. The calmer it was, the more he could feel the undercurrent hidden beneath the calm.

His spiritual thoughts spread out like a dense spider web, carefully sensing every energy fluctuation around him.

Just as they were about to reach the end of the bamboo forest and approach the thatched house, an old and slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

The voice seemed to come from eternity, with a hint of insight into the vicissitudes of life: "Haha, young man, the fact that you can come here means that you have successfully passed the previous trials. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Before he finished speaking, the bamboo door of the thatched hut creaked open by itself, and an old man with white hair, a clumsy face, and simple linen clothes walked out slowly, holding a green bamboo stick.

The old man's eyes were cloudy, but he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. There was no strong aura fluctuation on his body. He looked like an ordinary old man in the mountains.

But Indra felt a kind of Taoist rhyme of returning to simplicity and nature from him, which is a characteristic that only appears after one's own power is highly integrated with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

This person is definitely not simple.

He should be an ancient wizard, whose realm has at least reached the peak of the Great Dao. What appears at this moment should be the image of his will.

"I am the junior Emperor Shitian, nice to meet you, senior." Emperor Shitian bowed slightly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He knew that this was the "hermit" that the mysterious voice mentioned.

The nameless old man's cloudy eyes rested on Emperor Shitian, and he nodded slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile: "Such a young man, yet he has the talent of Primal Chaos, which is really rare in the ages."

He paused, and lightly tapped the ground with the green bamboo stick in his hand, and an invisible ripple spread out.

"I am the caretaker of this place, responsible for presiding over the hermit trials." The nameless old man said straight to the point, "If you want to move on, you must pass my trial."

As he spoke, he slowly spread out his palm. In his palm, a crystal core the size of a pigeon egg, completely black, but emitting a heart-pounding and powerful energy, was quietly suspended.

On the crystal core, there were faintly countless mysterious runes flowing, as if containing the origin secrets of the entire Tianwu Holy Land.

"This is the crystal core of the origin of witchcraft," the nameless old man said with a hint of temptation, "It is condensed from the will of the heavenly witch and contains the purest origin power of the holy land."

"If you can obtain it and refine it, your strength will once again achieve a qualitative leap, and it will also be of great help to you in your future fight against the Dark Tribulation."

Emperor Shitian's pupils shrank slightly. He could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained in the crystal core. It was a source of power that was completely different from other avenues, but equally powerful.

If he could really refine it, his Hongmeng Holy Body and the black and white divine patterns would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

"Senior, what you mean is that as long as I pass the trial, I can get this origin crystal core?" Emperor Shitian asked, his voice calm, but he had already made up his mind.

No matter how difficult the trial is, he is determined to obtain this crystal core.

"That's right." The nameless old man smiled slightly, "But this trial is extraordinary. It tests not just your strength, but also your state of mind, wisdom, and insight. If you fail, the consequence... may be that you will be trapped here forever."

Emperor Shitian nodded without hesitation: "Junior is willing to accept the trial."

"Good, you have guts!" The nameless old man nodded approvingly, with a gleam in his eyes, "Then, the trial begins now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the green bamboo stick in his hand slammed to the ground!

"Om-"

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds reversed!

The lush bamboo forest and quaint thatched cottage before my eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by an endless chaotic void.

Countless distorted lights and shadows were rapidly moving around, and all kinds of horrific roars and seductive whispers were coming from all directions, trying to corrode people's minds.

Indra only felt a flash before his eyes, and he found himself in an unfamiliar illusion. Regrets from his past life, his inner fears, or the most desired scenes all emerged and tested his will.

Indra kept his mind focused as black and white divine patterns emerged, covering his body and soul like a network.

Today's black and white divine patterns have incorporated many of the laws of witchcraft, and look more and more like the legendary "Patterns of Heavenly Witches," which are extraordinary and magical.

Under the cover of the black and white divine patterns, he was invulnerable to all harm and immune to all evil. These powerful illusions could not do anything to him.

However, the test at this level is extraordinary. Various laws are hidden in the illusion, almost reaching the level of virtual reality.

After walking out of layer upon layer of illusions, Indra came to a road of bones with no end in sight. At the end of the road was an endless abyss of darkness that seemed to swallow everything.

Countless powerful enemies who had been killed by him turned into ferocious resentful spirits at this moment, crawling out from under the bones and rushing towards him with overwhelming hatred.

"You have such a petty trick, yet you dare to show off in front of me!" Emperor Shitian snorted coldly, his eyes shining with a bright light.

He knew very well that all these were illusions, but these illusions were extremely real. If his mind was not strong enough, he would be deeply trapped in them and there would be no way out.

"Xiao Qi, turn on your insight and analyze the core of the illusion array!" Emperor Shitian's mind moved.

"Received, Master! Analyzing the illusion array... This illusion array is built on the power of the origin, it is unpredictable and can directly point to the flaws in people's hearts."

"However, there is a formation eye at its core... As long as the formation eye is broken, the illusion will disappear!" Xiao Qi's voice responded quickly.
