"Pack your things and set off with Tianyuan!"
After resting in the temporary camp for less than an hour, the Beumi Sword Spirit summoned all the sword bearers from Yan Jing and Yuzhang City and announced that they were ready to enter the trial ground.
"Sir, are we not going to wait for the people from the other six cities?" One of the sword bearers from Yan Jing City raised his hand and asked.
"Why should we wait for them? This is the trial ground built by Zhe Jiandi of Huaxia. They can only blame themselves for being too far away from here!"
The Eagle Cat Sword Spirit grinned. The reason why Yan Jing City spread the news to all eight base cities was so that it would not destroy the atmosphere of human unity.
However, if the people from the other cities were late because of the long journey, they could not blame Yuzhang City and Yan Jing City for leaving first.
Changyang Mountain was probably a place that had not been visited for hundreds of years. There were towering trees everywhere. Under Xu Tianyuan's guidance, the group took many turns and finally arrived at the entrance of a cave.
"This is the place. The trial ground is in here."
Xu Tianyuan led everyone into the cave. After walking for a short distance, they saw a faint light shining from the depths of the cave. As they went deeper, the light became brighter and brighter until it was almost as bright as day.
At this time, Guhan and the others had also arrived at the real entrance of the trial ground.
It was a hall the size of a basketball court. There was a huge LED screen on one of the walls of the hall. The screen was lit up, but there were no pictures on it. There was only a sentence displayed on the screen.
"This is the trial ground for the younger generation. Sword bearers above Treasure Sword Level will have their swords broken." Below this sentence was a small line of words. "Yi Qing's friendly reminder."
"Is this really the trial ground left by Zhe Jiandi?"
The Beumi Sword Spirit asked when she saw the line of words on the screen. "What if this is a trap set by Yuan Kou and the others? These young people are the future hope of our two base cities. If anything happens to them here, the future of humanity will be finished."
As soon as Confusion Sword Spirit's voice trailed off, the display screen that said, "This is the training ground for juniors. Trespassers above the level of treasured swords will have their sword marks broken." was instantly replaced by another line of words.
"The second horizontal piece of the ceiling on the sixth floor of the Yuzhang Sword Tower's office was smashed."
After a minute, the line of words changed back to what it was before. "This is the training ground for the younger generation. Anyone who wields a sword above the level of a Treasure Sword will suffer a broken sword scar." It seemed like the words on the LED screen changed automatically every minute.
"What is the meaning of this?" Seeing this sudden change, the Confusion Sword Spirit was taken aback.
The Eagle Cat Sword Spirit coughed and explained awkwardly, "Ahem, the ceiling had been smashed by Mistress Cloudsky. In the end, we found a small box hidden in the ceiling. Inside the box was a piece of paper with the words' Changyang Mountain Trial Ground '."
The Confusion Sword Spirit nodded and no longer doubted the safety of the trial ground. "I understand now. It seems like this is the training ground left behind by Zhe Tian Jiandi!"
The reason was simple. The Yuzhang Sword Tower was built during the era of Zhe Tian Jiandi. Every brick and tile there was built by Zhe Tian Jiandi.
The place was heavily guarded, especially the Sword Tower Master's office. It was impossible for anyone to enter without the permission of the Sword Tower Master, let alone hide such a brocade box in the ceiling.
In that case, there was only one answer. The Heaven Shrouding Sword Emperor had personally hidden this brocade box when he was building the Sword Pavilion.
This was a secret that only Zhe Tian Jiandi knew.
The reason why Zhe Tian Jiandi did this was because he guessed that people would doubt the authenticity of the trial ground. Therefore, he left this message on the LED screen to prove that this was indeed a trial ground created by Zhe Tian Jiandi and not a trap set up by Yuan Kou.
"His Majesty Zhe Tian is truly meticulous!"
The Confusion Sword Spirit's face was filled with sincere admiration. As a loyal fan of Zhe Tian Jiandi, he became even more loyal.
"Sigh. Although we can prove that this is indeed a trial ground left behind by His Majesty Zhe Tian, I don't understand why he would hide it from us.
If it weren't for the two from the Liu Nian Family and the Confucian Family, we wouldn't have known that there was a trial ground hidden here even after a thousand years, "the Eagle Cat complained.
"Brother Eagle Cat, you're wrong.
In my opinion, you're the one who messed up the sequence, "the Confusion Sword Spirit said.
"Sequence?
What sequence? "
"You all think that the note hidden in the Sword Tower is to prove that the ruins were indeed set up by His Majesty Jiandi.
Why don't you think about it the other way? That note is the correct way to open the trial ground.
The correct way to open the trial ground is that His Majesty Zhe Tian wants you to find the note hidden in the ceiling and find the trial ground.
He doesn't want you to find the trial ground for some inexplicable reason and then find the note. "
"Confusion Sword Spirit, when did you become so talkative?"
The Eagle Cat complained. "Forget it. No matter what, this trial ground is safe. Let's arrange for these little fellows to enter the trial ground.
By the way, Tianyuan, where is the entrance to the trial ground? "
"It's here!"
Xu Tianyuan walked to a spot in the northwest of the hall. The color of the floor was obviously different from the rest.
The Confusion Sword Spirit and the Eagle Cat walked over to take a look and gasped. Why did the lines and equipment on the floor look exactly like the quantum teleportation circle?
"This is a quantum teleportation circle?"
The Eagle Cat muttered in disbelief. It was not clear if he was asking the Confusion Sword Spirit or the Confusion Sword Spirit.
"If I'm not blind, then this is definitely a quantum teleportation circle." The Confusion Sword Spirit was also puzzled.
This quantum teleportation circle was obviously a piece of black technology that humans had only developed in the last hundred years. How could Zhe Tian Jiandi set up a quantum teleportation circle here seven hundred years ago?
At that time, humans had only just recovered the technological level before the Great Apocalypse.
"Perhaps he obtained the quantum teleportation circle from Yuan Kou who specialized in science and technology. Some of the more technologically advanced Yuan Kou and Zhe Tian Jiandi might have obtained the quantum teleportation circle from them." This was the most reasonable explanation the Eagle Cat could come up with.
"Forget it. We'll let those scientists worry about this. Now, let these little fellows step into the quantum teleportation circle and enter the trial ground!" the Confusion Sword Spirit said decisively.
…
"This is the trial ground?"
When Guhan woke up from the dizziness brought about by the quantum teleportation circle, he found himself in a space surrounded by opaque walls of light.
He was firmly surrounded by these walls of light on all sides. Only the top of his head was not covered by the walls of light. He could see the rock ceiling that was more than twenty meters high.
Guhan should be in the inner space of Changyang Mountain. The whole mountain had been hollowed out by Zhe Tian Jiandi.
This enclosed space was not big, but it was not small either. Guhan estimated that this space should be a standard square space of ten meters by ten meters, which was about the size of an ordinary apartment.
Song Yifei and the others who had passed through the teleportation circle with Guhan were not next to Guhan. It seemed that the final landing point was different every time they were teleported.
Gu Han guessed that every sword-bearer who entered the trial ground would most likely be placed in a room that was covered by a wall of light.
"What's there to train in such a small space?
Could it be that the first step is to test how we can break through this wall of light that's surrounding us? "
Guhan walked to the side of the wall of light and touched it with his hand. He found that the wall of light felt like flesh to the touch … or rather, it felt like the bouncy and beautiful body of a young girl.
Guhan tried to use force to see if he could break through the limits of the wall of light. In the end, he found that no matter how much force he used, it would be absorbed by the wall of light. It was impossible to break through the blockade of this wall of light with the strength of a sword bearer at the treasure sword level.
"Participants, please take your position at the starting point!" A dignified male voice rang out in the space.
Guhan had seen some rare video material left by Zhe Tian Jiandi. In those videos, Zhe Tian Jiandi Yi Qing spoke exactly like this male voice.
Guhan noticed that in the middle of the room, there were two words written in white paint: "Starting Point". It seemed that the male version of Zhe Tian Jiandi wanted Guhan to stand on the words "Starting Point".
Guhan obeyed and stood on it obediently.
Then, a hole appeared in the ground in front of Guhan, and a die the size of a watermelon rose out of the hole.
"Throw the die and decide your fate!"
Zhe Tian Jiandi said. Guhan was still very obedient. He picked up the die and threw it into the air. The die spun for a while, and finally, the side with the word "Five" on it landed on the top.
"You can take five steps forward!" Zhe Tian Jiandi said concisely.
Just like that, the wall of light in front of Guhan disappeared. Inside the wall of light, there was also a ten-meter by ten-meter space surrounded by the wall of light.
Guhan stepped into the next room, and the wall of light that had been opened before immediately closed up again. However, the wall of light in the second room opened up again.
Guhan kept going through the opening of the wall of light to enter the next room. When he entered the fifth room, the wall of light stopped opening, and Guhan was trapped in the fifth room.
"Isn't this Monopoly?" Guhan seemed to have understood the rules of this trial.
