Ye Chen glanced at the Dark Deity in surprise.
He hadn't expected the Dark Deity to have such a thorough understanding of him.
Ye Chen raised his head again and said, "What the Dark Deity said is only one aspect. Another aspect is that these treasures aren't that important to me. It's fine if I give them up. Our goal this time is the Heart Stirring Bell. As long as we get the Heart Stirring Bell, we can give up on everything else."
Bai Die and the others could only shake their heads helplessly when they heard Ye Chen's words.
Indeed, if they could obtain the Heart Stirring Bell, they would all be heavily rewarded by the Astral Ancestor when they returned. In comparison, the two treasures before them were nothing.
Just as Ye Chen had said, although this innate flame seed was rather useful to Ye Chen, Ye Chen's current strength had yet to reach the Heavenly Being level. Hence, he didn't urgently need the Ice Fire Doppelganger.
Secondly, as Ye Chen had said, Ye Chen still had plenty of opportunities to obtain treasures similar to the innate flame seed. There was no need for him to fight to the death with these half-step Heavenly Beings for such a treasure. If he did so, he would only end up letting Sikong Xing take advantage of him.
Sikong Xing and the others revealed disappointed expressions when they saw that Ye Chen had actually given up the chance to choose the treasures.
"This guy actually chose to give in. What a disgrace," a magnate warrior behind Si Kong Xing muttered.
Naturally, he said this to curry favor with Sikong Xing.
Sure enough, Sikong Xing revealed a smug smile when he heard what the powerhouse said. "Yes, it seems like I overestimated this fellow. I just cooperated with Du Jiang for a bit. I didn't expect that I would be able to fool him. This time, the inheritance and treasures of the Galuo Celestials will all belong to me in the end."
After Ye Chen gave up the chance to choose the treasures, the cultivators present had already started to fight amongst themselves.
Even for a half-step Celestial Being, the two treasures in front of him were quite valuable.
Hence, they would naturally do their best to snatch the treasures.
According to the Kyalos Celestials' way of doing things, who knew what kind of perverse test the next level would be? Therefore, it was best to get the benefits in front of them first.
This battle lasted for nearly four hours before the victor was decided.
That bottle of pills had been snatched away by a white-haired old man, and the innate fire seed that Ye Chen had taken a fancy to had actually been snatched away by Du Jiang, who had stopped Ye Chen before.
After the three treasures were distributed, the figure of Jialuo Celestial appeared before everyone once more.
"I have already given away all the treasures that should be given. Next, everyone needs to make a choice. Those who want to accept my inheritance can directly enter the palace ahead. Those who don't want to, please leave as soon as possible."
Jialuo Celestial's words made most of the people around hesitate.
The way the Galuo Celestial had conducted himself had frightened many people. No one could be sure that there wouldn't be any fatal dangers in the upcoming test.
In addition, there were geniuses like Sikong Xing and Ye Chen among the people present. Most of the remaining people had almost no chance of obtaining the Galuo Celestial's inheritance.
"I choose to leave." Soon, some cultivators began to choose to leave.
Among them, some half-step Heavenly Beings also chose to leave.
These half-step Heavenly Beings all came from famous families and had a very high chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Being Realm in the future. There was no need to take the risk now.
"Young master Ye Chen, if we continue to stay here, I'm afraid we won't be of any use. Therefore, we can only place our hopes on you." Bai Die and the rest said to Ye Chen with a helpless expression before retreating.
They had only been able to come here because of Ye Chen. If they continued to stay, they would definitely die. It was better to take advantage of this opportunity to leave as soon as possible.
"What do the two of you plan to do?" Ye Chen asked Saint of All Realms and the Dark God after watching Bai Die and the others leave.
The Dark God glanced at the place where the Galuo Celestial's shadow had appeared. "I can continue. Although the chances of obtaining the Galuo Celestial's inheritance aren't high, it won't be a problem for me to stay alive."
Saint of All Realms' expression was cold. "I'm the same. If a true Heavenly Being was here, I might be a little more respectful. Now that there's only a remnant soul left, what do I have to fear?"
Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't force the two of them. He nodded. "Alright, then let's work hard together."
Very quickly, there were only a few people left who chose to stay.
These people were almost all half-step Celestial Being powerhouses.
Du Jiang and the white-haired elder, who had just snatched the treasure, were among them.
Seeing that no one wanted to leave, the Galuo Celestial's shadow flew in a circle. A shocking scene occurred. The dense aura around them kept shrinking.
As the dense aura shrank, the surrounding scenery rapidly receded. It was as if Ye Chen and the others were rapidly leaving the Heavenly Being Palace.
Among the group, only Ye Chen and Saint of All Realms could vaguely sense that they weren't leaving the Heavenly Being Palace. Instead, they were shrinking.
Just shrinking an object was something that even a magnate could do.
However, only a true Heavenly Being could directly shrink a palace and a huge space like this.
Boom!
In front of Ye Chen and the others, three transparent arched bridges suddenly shot out from the transparent palace, connecting them to Ye Chen and the others.
"On each of these three arched bridges is a picture that I personally carved in the past. Those who can comprehend the mystery of the picture can enter the palace ahead and take the next test," the Galuo Celestial's shadow continued.
Ye Chen's brows slightly creased as he asked, "Senior, I would like to know how many stages there are in this trial."
Ye Chen's question raised everyone's spirits, as they were also concerned about this issue.
Indeed, if the test was endless and there were thousands of tests, it would be best for them to give up on the idea of taking the test as soon as possible.
As if guessing what everyone was thinking, the Galuo Celestial's shadow said indifferently, "After passing this test, the next test will be my final test for you. As long as you pass the next test, you will have completed all my tests and will receive my inheritance and all my treasures."
When they heard Galuo Deity's words, everyone around them became excited.
Including the previous test, there were only three tests in total. If they could pass this test, then they would have completed more than half of the tests.
Sikong Xing's figure flashed and he was the first to rush toward an arched bridge.
The rest of the people also rushed over, each choosing an arch bridge.
This arched bridge was like a crystal, sparkling and translucent. Streams of light flowed within it.
It was these streams of light that formed a series of illusory and dreamy images.
Ye Chen and the others stared at these images for a while and immediately felt dizzy. They almost lost themselves in them.
