Chapter Ninety-Three: The Trap

  Although it felt extremely dangerous, the two of them discussed it and decided to take the risk after all. For ordinary people, wealth moves the heart, but for those in the Cultivation Realm, the treasures left behind by their seniors were the most tempting.

  Both of them stared firmly at the entrance of the test, and Ye Tianfan was still calm, after all, a skilled person is bold.

  As for Xie Qianqiu, she was somewhat apprehensive in her heart. After all, she was only at the Golden Elixir stage of cultivation, and the difference between her and that Fourth Tribulation Loose Immortal's cultivation was too great. With just one finger, they could crush her to death.

  No matter what the two people felt in their hearts, they still stepped inside. After Xie Qianqiu stepped inside, he actually let out a sigh of relief. After all, an arrow shot from a bow has no turning back, and it's impossible to turn back now.

  Because the Jade Simplified has a reminder, once you enter the entrance of the test, you are not allowed to turn back unless you have passed the test and then you will have the opportunity to come out.

  The two of them followed the prompt on the jade slip and went forward, and according to what was said on the jade slip, the first pass was called Knife Mountain Fire Sea. As the name suggests, this pass was to let the two people walk through the midst of ten thousand knives and arrows.

  These knives and arrows, however, had been imbued with the unrefined spiritual energy of this loose immortal, so although a long time had passed and their power had weakened considerably, according to Ye Tianyi and Ye Tianfan's estimates, these knives and arrows still possessed at least the might of the Golden Core stage.

  So, Xie Qianqiu was quite frightened, but had to move on, while Ye Tianfan wasn't afraid, but also didn't dare show it too clearly, and could only pretend to be calm in front of Xie Qianqiu.

  The two quickly arrived at the alley of knives and arrows, they looked at each other, both involuntarily took a deep breath, then stepped forward.

  As soon as the two stepped in, the knives and arrows on both sides reacted instantly. The surrounding knives and arrows seemed to be without rules, but they were actually rushing towards the two with a rhythmic "whooshing" sound that never stopped.

  The two of them hastily dodged and weaved to avoid the dangerous blades and arrows. Ye Tianfan was fine, easily evading the blades and arrows, but Xie Qianqiu's performance was somewhat lacking in comparison.

  There were several times when Xie Qianqiu barely dodged, if Ye Tianfan hadn't rushed forward to help his own master sister Xie Qianqiu block the attack, Xie Qianqiu might have been seriously injured or even killed.

  Facing these dangers, Xie Qianqiu regretted it and was remorseful that he shouldn't have been so reckless, being dazzled by the treasure of the Scattered Immortal Cave Mansion.

  On the other hand, Ye Tianfan has been protecting himself and making Xie Qianqiu depressed. She did not expect that her junior brother's cultivation was similar to hers, but his actual strength was much stronger than hers.

  The two continued to move forward, while the knife mountain and arrow rain in front of them became even more dense. Ye Tianfan looked at it with some anxiety, after all, these were nothing to himself, but they were a danger to his master sister.

  Then Ye Tianfan said: "Sister, the arrow rain here is getting denser and denser. Come to my back, I'll clear the way for you." After that, Ye Tianfan focused more on blocking those arrow rains, avoiding missing any flying knives and arrows, so that the two of them wouldn't react in time.

  Xie Qianqiu felt a bit stifled by his junior brother's words, but this was not the time to be stubborn, so he listened and came to Ye Tianfan's back.

  Although Xie Qianqiu was already standing behind Ye Tianfan, he didn't let his guard down and remained vigilant for the possibility of Liu Yu flying over, while his junior brother reacted too slowly.

  Ye Tianfan felt that his master sister's tension was unnecessary, but he couldn't say much about it either. Besides, this wasn't the time to be too distracted.

  After half a time, the two finally passed through this knife mountain and arrow rain, and came to an open place.

  Although only half a time had passed, the two of them felt as if they had spent a year, and that feeling was too unbearable. Anyone who ventured into that dense hail of arrows would feel their scalp tingling with fear.

  Fortunately, both of them had passed, and both of them couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in their hearts. The invisible boulder that was pressing on their minds also disappeared.

  "Fortunately, it's finally over," Qianqiu said with a sigh of relief. "Alas, I'm really regretful for impulsively deciding to come in here. It was truly too dangerous."

  Ye Tianfan didn't have as much sentiment as his master sister, but instead said: "Master sister, it's not time to relax yet, there are still roadblocks waiting for us ahead."

  Xie Qianqiu listened to Ye Tianfan's words and suddenly remembered that this was just an appetizer, and he regretted it even more in his heart, secretly annoyed with himself for being greedy.

  No matter what, the two were forced to continue on their way, otherwise it would be impossible to leave unless they cultivated themselves to the point of ascending to the heavens in broad daylight.

  But it's also unlikely for people with such ideas to succeed, because the spiritual energy here is relatively thin, and at most it can only be used by Yuan Ying period cultivators, and even then it's as slow as a turtle.

  And in that case, when your cultivation can no longer progress, you will only wait for your lifespan to be exhausted and die, which is almost unacceptable to cultivators.

  After resting for a while, the two continued on their way, after all, there were still several passes waiting for them to conquer.

  The two quickly arrived at the second pass, and the second pass was a very headache-inducing level for Xie Qianqiu, because the second pass was an array method, and after Xie Qianqiu went through the array method set up by his ancestors, he became a little afraid of arrays.

  As for what formation it was, Ye Tianfan wasn't clear, but formations are divided into Illusory Formations, Restrictive Formations, and Killing Formations. The myriad changes don't depart from this principle, they won't deviate from these three categories.

  Ye Tianfan secretly wondered if this loose immortal was a loose cultivator, and as such, had dabbled in many aspects, after all, a loose cultivator wasn't like a sect's disciple, everything had to be done on their own.

  No matter whether it's alchemy, artifact refinement, or talisman crafting, everything has to be done by oneself. After all, individual cultivators almost never have the opportunity for systematic learning.

  This also leads to a common problem among almost all scattered cultivators, that is, they learn a lot but not in-depth, they can do almost everything, but they are not good at anything, and everything is neither fish nor fowl.

  Of course, there are also special cases, such as that loose cultivator's equipment refining master who is still a great master of talisman crafting.

  However, Ye Tianfan didn't know much about talismans, and they weren't very useful for high-level cultivators either. Moreover, the materials were hard to find and difficult to refine, as refining talismans required demonic beast skin and blood.

  Ye Tianfan speculated that the master of this cave mansion would at least be proficient in array techniques and artifact refinement, but judging from the appearance of those knives and arrows outside, that loose cultivator was at most at the level of a grandmaster artifact refiner, and could only enhance the power of the knives and arrows outside by relying on his immortal yuan energy.

  Ye Tianfan and the other person unknowingly entered the formation, but this formation's level was far inferior to that of the Wood Spirit Sect's ancestor, Wood Spirit Immortal. As a result, both of them broke out of the trapped array in just half an hour.

  The third pass, Yu Jian didn't say what it was, just said that after arriving there would be a prompt, if you can rush to that place, you will naturally know.

  Ye Tianfan and the other two rushed through the second pass and naturally continued to rush forward with momentum, quickly arriving at the place where the jade slips were placed.

  Ye Tianfan directly sank his consciousness into it, and after seeing the contents, Ye Tianfan was suddenly shocked, feeling very uneasy, with a sense of falling into a trap.

  Originally, Jade said that there was no treasure here at all, it was just a trick to deceive people into passing through the barrier.

  At the moment Ye Tianfan was shocked, a powerful divine sense suddenly took advantage of the emptiness and entered into Ye Tianfan's sea of consciousness. Two words floated in Ye Tianfan's mind: Trap.
