Xian Ling 'er followed Ye Qing obediently. Now that she realized how powerful Ye Qing was, she knew that following Ye Qing was the right choice.
The Vermilion Bird projection in the sky wanted to wait for the two of them to rest before starting the second trial.
However, they were in a hurry to pass the trial, so the Vermilion Bird projection had no choice but to fulfill their request.
"Buzz!"
The Vermilion Bird projection in the sky released a powerful aura. In the secret realm, a mountain of knives appeared in front of them.
It was a true mountain of sabers. Numerous sharp sabers were arranged in an array, forming an existence similar to a formation.
Below the mountain of knives, there were flames burning. It wasn't easy to pass through the mountain of knives. They had to go through the test of the flames.
The dark blue flames weren't ordinary flames. They were the more powerful flames of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.
The mountain of knives was more than a thousand meters long. At the end of the mountain, there was the source of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire burning.
In short, it wasn't easy to pass through the mountain of knives and sea of flames. They might have to pay a heavy price.
However, if they could reach the end of the mountain of knives and sea of flames, even if they didn't pass the trial, they would be able to obtain good treasures. They would have a chance to devour the source of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.
"Two young people, the second trial of the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm will begin. You will have to pass through the mountain of knives and sea of flames!"
The Vermilion Bird projection in the sky said. The mountain of knives and sea of flames before them was the second trial.
Xian Ling 'er was stunned. She was a little worried when she saw the mountain of knives and sea of flames. The 1,000-meter mountain of knives and sea of flames required a high level of physical strength, cultivation, and control of flames!
As a Mystic Heaven Realm cultivator, Xian Ling 'er wasn't confident that she could pass the trial.
"Brother, are we still going to pass the trial?" Xian Ling 'er exclaimed.
"Of course!
However, before we pass the trial, I want to ask what the reward is.
If the reward isn't satisfactory, then what's the point of passing the trial? "Ye Qing looked at the Vermilion Bird projection in the sky.
The Vermilion Bird projection had a mysterious expression. "Two young people, if you pass the trial and perform well, you will be able to obtain a drop of the Vermilion Bird Divine Ancestor's blood essence!"
Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er were both tempted by the rewards for the second stage.
A drop of the Vermilion Bird Ancestor's essence blood was an extremely precious existence. If one could obtain it, it would bring them great benefits.
"A drop of Vermilion Bird Ancestor's blood essence! Awesome!"
Ye Qing's eyes lit up. He took large strides forward, walking barefoot on the saber mountain.
Xian Ling 'er was still hesitating. In the blink of an eye, Ye Qing had already walked more than a hundred meters up the mountain.
Ye Qing's speed was too fast. Before Xian Ling 'er could react, Ye Qing's figure had already disappeared from her sight.
"Ye Qing, wait for me!"
Xian Ling 'er gritted her teeth, unable to resist the temptation of a drop of Vermilion Bird blood essence.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xian Ling 'er walked on top of the mountain of knives. There was also a strong restrictive force in the sky, so she could not fly. She could only walk on foot.
"Brother, wait for me!"
Xian Ling 'er cried out. She was a little nervous. She could feel the scorching heat from the bottom of her feet. Her shoes were quickly burned away.
As a Mysterious Heaven Realm elite, the quality of her shoes was not bad. They were actually Third Revolution Sacred Artifacts.
However, they could not withstand the sharpness of the saber mountain, let alone the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.
In front of her, Ye Qing stopped. He felt a little impatient. Xian Ling 'er was too slow. She was like a burden behind him, wasting his time.
"Little girl, if you don't hurry up, I won't wait any longer!" Ye Qing spread out his hands, looking impatient.
Xian Ling 'er quickly increased her speed. She used her powerful Dark Force to protect her body.
Under the influence of her Dark Force, Xian Ling 'er was able to last for a while on the saber mountain.
However, after walking for about a hundred meters, Xian Ling 'er felt a little uncomfortable. Her body was like a piece of soldering iron, extremely hot. Her face was completely red, like a red apple.
"Brother, I … I think I'm going to faint."
Xian Ling 'er walked to Ye Qing's side, feeling extremely uncomfortable. It was almost impossible for her to walk a thousand meters of saber mountain and sea of fire without fully recovering from her injuries. She could only plead for Ye Qing's help.
Ye Qing's lips curled into a smile. "It's not that useful to call me brother now!
If you want my help, give me a Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact in exchange! "
Xian Ling 'er's mouth twitched. A Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact was simply asking for too much!
One had to know that many Mysterious Heaven Realm elites did not have a Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact.
In reality, the majority of Mystic Heaven Realm experts used rank four saint artifacts.
In the distant and mysterious Primordial Age, Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifacts were extremely rare and priceless.
Xian Ling 'er frowned. "Brother, are you kidding me?
I don't even have a Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact. How can I give it to you? "
Ye Qing waved his hand. "No, it's fine. You can owe me first. We'll talk about it later!"
Xian Ling 'er's face was filled with reluctance. In her opinion, she had to pay back what she owed.
If she did not pay back what she owed, wouldn't it be immoral?
With Xian Ling 'er's ability, she would not be able to get a Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact in such a short time.
A Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact was not something that could be bought on the street.
"Brother, can we talk about it? Can we exchange it for something else?
I really don't have a Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact! "Xian Ling 'er said helplessly.
Ye Qing shook his head with a firm and solemn expression. "No, I, Ye Qing, am a man of my words. Since I've already said it, I can't go back on it!"
Xian Ling 'er was speechless. After thinking about it, she could only agree to Ye Qing's request for now. After all, the immediate benefits were more important.
As for the Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact, just like Ye Qing said, she could only owe him first and talk about it later.
"Alright, brother, I'll promise you!
But you have to promise that you'll bring me out of this mountain of daggers and sea of flames! "Xian Ling 'er said with a serious expression.
Ye Qing nodded, patted his chest, and guaranteed. His expression was filled with confidence.
It was impossible for a mountain of daggers and sea of flames to stop Ye Qing's footsteps.
Before leaving, Ye Qing's lips curled into a smile. "Little girl, since you owe me a Fifth Revolution Sacred Artifact, let's sign an IOU so that you won't go back on your word in the future!"
Xian Ling 'er was so angry that her delicate body trembled. Her face darkened. "I'm a dignified Profound Heaven Realm cultivator. Don't tell me that I don't keep my word?"
Ye Qing rolled his eyes. "Little girl, I think it's more reliable to say it in black and white. Who knows if you won't go back on your word in the future?"
Xian Ling 'er let out a long sigh. She was completely convinced. It looked like she had no choice but to sign an IOU. She even signed on it.
Ye Qing solemnly put away the IOU. He felt very pleased. If Xian Ling 'er dared to be impudent after leaving the Vermilion Bird Mystic Realm, he would take out the IOU!
People like Xian Ling 'er valued their reputation very much. If Ye Qing had the IOU, he could use it against her.
Xian Ling 'er's attitude toward Ye Qing was very good right now. That was because she needed Ye Qing's help in the Vermilion Bird Mystic Realm.
But if they left the mystic realm in the future, things might not be the same.
The mountain of daggers and sea of flames in front of them emitted a dangerous aura. Ye Qing waved his hand and reached toward Xian Ling 'er, wanting to wrap his arm around her waist.
"What are you doing?" Xian Ling 'er exclaimed in shock.
