The Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion was known as the leader of Jido Seishū's Ten Thousand Sages. Jido Seishū had collected countless sacred grounds, and it contained shocking secrets.
There were very few records about the Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion. One of them was that the top nine disciples of the Big Bi were qualified to climb it, but from the history of the sect, less than half of them were able to climb the Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion. In other words, only four out of nine people were able to enter.
Everyone who entered the Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion would forget everything they saw and heard when they came out.
In other words, after entering the Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion, you would only remember what you obtained, such as the inheritance, shocking divine ability, and so on. However, you would forget what the Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion was like, what you saw, and what you heard.
Under some kind of coincidence, some people might be able to retain their memories, and those who retained their memories would be promoted to a Dao Disciple!
From this, it could be seen how high the value of a Jido Seishū's Dao Disciple was!
Regardless of whether or not they could become a Dao Disciple, or whether or not they could remember the Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion, those who could enter the Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion would obtain great fortune. Even if they couldn't become a Dao Disciple, they would still be heavily nurtured.
Unfortunately, there were very few Big Bi disciples who could enter the Ancient Sage's Scripture Pavilion.
Because of this series of tests, the competition between the inner sect disciples would be even greater. To a certain extent, it could bring out the disciples' potential to the extreme … Perhaps, the inner sect disciples would be able to understand the essence of Jido Seishū.
This time, Qin Yu's sudden appearance and extremely powerful divine soul attack caused many inner court disciples to be excited. This was because there was still nearly 60 years until the Great Disciple Competition. There was still time to cultivate divine soul law formulas and supernatural powers.
Although sixty years was a long time, to every Sequence Disciple, it was just a blink of an eye.
However, if they could master this divine ability, it would undoubtedly increase the chances of them becoming one of the top nine disciples of the Big Bi!
In a short period of time, more and more people posted bounties on Vicious, and the entire outer court was in a state of turmoil. Everyone was searching for Vicious … especially those who had fought with Qin Yu. They were searching everywhere for someone with a similar build to Qin Yu.
While the outer sect's undercurrents were surging, Qin Yu, who was in the Time Array, was extremely pale.
It had been a month and a half.
He had been immersed in engraving the lines on the Firmament Imprint for an entire month and a half!
Back in the Ghost Domain, Qin Yu had carved out 36 palm prints, and that was already his limit. But now, after the golden firmament mark had fused with his own, it seemed to have become even stronger.
Now, Qin Yu was already carving the forty-second palm print.
Just like when he carved the thirty-sixth palm mark in the Ghost Domain, Qin Yu only felt an inexplicable pressure enveloping his heart when he started to carve the forty-second mark. It was as if he was carrying the heavens and earth as he carved the palm mark.
"Boom!!"
When Qin Yu forcefully carved it down, the pressure rapidly increased. At this moment, the pressure that looked down on the vicissitudes of the world caused Qin Yu's blood and Qi to boil, causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Qin Yu abruptly opened his eyes. His complexion was deathly pale, and his expression was filled with bewilderment.
Now, the situation was the same as when he carved the thirty-sixth mark. It was as if he had turned into an ant. This made Qin Yu feel powerless. This pressure was too strong!
"If I want to make the Firmament Finger stronger … I have to carve the forty-second mark. Otherwise, the power won't increase by much."
Qin Yu's eyes flashed. Over the years, he had noticed a problem. That was, the power of the palm mark would only transform if there were six more layers …
Back then, carving the sixth and thirty-sixth marks was the same. In other words, if he wanted to increase the power of the Firmament Finger, he had to carve the forty-second mark!
But …
That pressure was too strong. It was so strong that Qin Yu felt that if he continued, the Firmament Imprint would shatter …
"If I can't carve the forty-second mark, I won't be able to increase the power of the Firmament Finger by much … So, I must carve the forty-second mark!!" Qin Yu's eyes flashed with determination.
"When this pressure erupts, I can use 'I am the heavens' to resist it … Only then will I be able to carve the forty-second mark!" Qin Yu took a deep breath and tried again.
Soon, that powerful pressure enveloped Qin Yu once more. It was as if these marks were the power of the heavens, and ordinary people were not allowed to carve them …
Qin Yu resisted the immense pressure and slowly carved.
As the forty-second mark gradually took shape, the pressure had reached the limit of what Qin Yu could endure!
"I am the heavens!!"
At this moment, Qin Yu used 'I am the heavens' without hesitation. He tried to use Ancient Saint Hunyuan's ability to resist this immense pressure.
What made Qin Yu ecstatic was that after using 'I am the heavens', the pressure on his body was greatly reduced. Qin Yu crazily increased his speed …
But in less than three breaths of time, the pressure that enveloped Qin Yu's body suddenly increased …
Qin Yu groaned and blood gushed out of his mouth. Not only that, but even his eyes and ears were bleeding.
"I am Ancient Saint Hunyuan!!"
Qin Yu opened his bloody mouth and roared. At this moment, he sank into Ancient Saint Hunyuan's remnant soul to resist this terrifying pressure and complete the carving.
To Qin Yu's pleasant surprise, it actually worked. The terrifying pressure was greatly reduced, and Qin Yu crazily increased his speed …
Forty-second mark!
Forty-third mark!
Forty-fourth mark!
When the forty-eighth mark was about to be completed …
"It's you?
You're not dead yet??? "
Accompanied by an ancient voice of shock, Qin Yu felt as if the entire world was about to collapse. Endless pressure came crashing down on him.
Qin Yu's heart was filled with horror. He frantically finished the forty-eighth mark … In the instant he finished, Qin Yu violently vomited blood. His body and bones that had been tempered by the thunder punishment actually cracked and blood splattered everywhere!
"What's going on??"
Qin Yu's seven orifices were bleeding. He let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground, letting the blood flow freely.
Qin Yu stared at the sky above the cave, his heart incomparably terrified. At this moment, his situation was as if he had suffered a blow from a top expert. The powerful body tempered by the thunder punishment couldn't even withstand a single blow … If he hadn't finished in time, Qin Yu was certain that he would have died under this terrifying pressure!
"What's going on??
Why would I encounter such a terrifying pressure when carving this mark?
And … where did that voice come from?? "Qin Yu's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He never thought that he would encounter such a thing when carving this mark.
After calming down, Qin Yu took out the Dao Spirit Water, took a small sip, and closed his eyes to meditate …
Half a day later, Qin Yu opened his eyes. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. Thinking back now, there was still some lingering fear in his heart.
"What's going on with this mark?
Why is there such a terrifying pressure?
And … where did that ancient voice come from? "
"And you're not dead yet?
What does that mean? "Qin Yu's eyes flashed with fear as he fell into deep thought.
