Chapter 602: Chapter 283: Soul Hall Xia Quan, Sky Pillar Si Xuan_3

However, the emperor’s face in the illusory light seemed ambiguous, making it impossible to discern his appearance.

The dozen or so cultivators standing on both sides of the great hall exuded an extraordinary presence. Although they were only projections, their movements radiated an aura that could still be faintly felt by Han Yi.

His body was about to fly away when the illusion unfolded, but involuntarily, he fell to the ground.

With a solemn expression, Han Yi guessed that the place shown in the illusory light was indeed Daqin Immortal Palace. The majestic figure sitting on the throne, dressed in a black imperial robe, should be Daqin Emperor, Qin Yi.

The last time Han Yi had interacted with Daqin Emperor was during the evil chaos in the Eastern Sea.

As for the evil chaos in the Eastern Sea.

He had tried to investigate what happened after he was swept away when he was in Taijing City.

At that time, a great battle took place deep in the Eastern Sea. After Daqin Emperor, Daqian Emperor, Creation Gate sect master, and Sword Cliff Sword Master killed the Undying Evil God, another earth-shattering battle erupted. Then, the four pursued and killed an unknown being all the way to the Southern Border, turning nearly half of the Southern Border into ruins.

The information spread throughout the Cultivation World about that battle was not very detailed. It’s only known that these four strongest cultivators of Yu Heng World did not return to the Eastern Sea. Instead, they went their separate ways after the annihilation of the Southern Border, without giving any other news until today.

At the moment, separated by the illusory light, Han Yi did not want to delve into the matter. The distance between him and these Spirit Transformation cultivators was still too great.

Now, amidst the illusory light, besides Daqin Emperor, among those dozen cultivators, there were undoubtedly powerful individuals. The rest who were able to stand together were definitely Nascent Soul cultivators, and not ordinary ones at that.

When the illusion began.

A middle-aged man dressed in a four-color python robe stepped out of the line, facing the illusory light. He seemed to be looking towards the numerous cultivators on this side of the light projection.

“The designated location for this competition for Supreme Order tokens is the sky pillar, Xuantian, inside this Cave Heaven. Here, there are ancient demons, Rock Demons.”

“The trial for this competition is demon hunting.”

“Killing Rock Demons will earn you points. The top three scorers get the Supreme Order tokens.”

“The competition begins now.”

As soon as the voice fell, the illusory light retracted and gathered in the middle to form a jade token. The token leaped through the void and with a speed too fast for Han Yi to react to, landed on his right hand.

Startled, Han Yi looked down to see a faint golden jade token embedded in his right arm, much like a tattoo.

On the surface of the jade token, light flowed together to form a few simple words:

Han Yi, 0.

He touched his arm and found it to be no different than before. It seemed as if the jade token was never there. After sensing it for a moment and finding nothing, he let it be.

This jade token was likely for counting points and would teleport him out once the trial was over.

However.

Han Yi furrowed his brow.

The words of the cultivator in the illusory light just now were incomplete, and there were many questions left unanswered.

For example, since it was demon hunting, different Rock Demons would yield different points when killed. High-ranking demons naturally provided more points, while low-ranking demons provided fewer points. Yet, the exact amount was not mentioned.

Moreover, besides killing Rock Demons, if one killed other participating cultivators within this Cave Heaven, could they also obtain their opponent’s points? If so, wouldn’t they be able to simply hunt other cultivators and completely profit from their hard work?

Lastly, for cultivators like Han Yi and Xia Quan who were not officially from Daqin but from other sects, the points earned from killing Rock Demons – were they already factored in, or would they need to be accounted for after the trial and ranked accordingly?

There were many doubts like these.

After some thought, Han Yi suppressed those questions for the time being. Regardless, the most important thing for him now was to hunt demons. If he encountered other cultivators, he would kill them and check if the number of points on his jade token increased. If it did, he could also hunt other cultivators.

Since he had entered the trial, he would not show mercy. The path of immortality was difficult; things that ought to be fought for or killed would not be spared.

He thought like this, and it was likely the other cultivators who had entered this place shared the same idea.

Gathering his thoughts, Han Yi flew upward, breaking through the canopy and soaring in the air, looking around.

In sight was a massive, primitive ancient forest. The ancient trees below were more than three hundred meters tall, and further away, even taller and more exaggerated ones could be seen.

Primitive, ancient, and vast.

Such a primitive and ancient place would inevitably breed creatures with equally magnificent power.

These Rock Demons were definitely not like the weak demons in the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm.

At that moment.

Roar!

An extremely frightening roar, shaking heaven and earth, came from a distant place. The distance was even beyond Han Yi’s range of divine senses.

The void trembled, and ancient trees swayed violently.

At such a distance, it made Han Yi, who was standing in the void, shudder all over, losing balance.

This level of power, he had only seen it in Evil Gods and powerful cultivators.

Han Yi’s face changed drastically as a thought came to mind:

This is…

A Spirit Transformation Level Rock Demon.

“Damn it, there’s actually a Spirit Transformation Level Rock Demon here. Doesn’t Daqin worry about the many Golden Core cultivators perishing here?”

“All the cultivators who enter are in their true forms. Once dead, they cannot be resurrected.” freёwebnovel.com

As his pupils contracted and his expression changed, Han Yi suddenly stopped and furrowed his brows deeply.

“No, it’s not right.”

“Although I, as an outsider cultivator, indeed enter the Cave Heaven with my true form and don’t have a body like in Facing Reality Heavenly Realm that could infinitely resurrect, this place is also a Cave Heaven. Perhaps there’s a resurrection method similar to that of Facing Reality Heavenly Realm. Except here, it is not granted to outsider cultivators but to certain specific cultivators.”

Han Yi was inwardly alarmed, and he was already 70% sure of his sudden pondering.

In this case, it would explain the presence of a Spirit Transformation Level Rock Demon here.

However.

For a place that belonged to Daqin, there was actually a Spirit Transformation Level demon race here. It was quite daring for Daqin, were they not afraid of these Rock Demons causing trouble?

Han Yi did not know what the Rock Demons in this Cave Heaven looked like or if they were similar to the Ancient Demons of the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm. Hence, as soon as he had these thoughts, he completely concealed his presence. If not seen in person, no one below the Spirit Transformation would sense his presence or existence.

Then.

He immediately headed towards the area where the Rock Demon had roared just now, moving at an incredible speed.
