Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 139

Just like Luo Xue, Yan Chutian also stood in front of the stone tablet and looked at him in silence. But what surprised him was that this was clearly a wordless stone tablet, so how could one comprehend spirit arts?

Yan Chutian did not understand, but he knew that Luo Xue definitely knew, so he looked towards Luo Xue and observed her actions. Under this observation, Yan Chutian finally understood how to open the stone tablet in front of him.

Then, just like Luo Xue, Yan Chutian slowly poured his spiritual power into the stone tablet. After the spiritual power was poured, the fine stone tablet had a continuous shadow of light that seemed to be a series of inexplicable patterns.

But before he could identify it carefully, the image quickly disappeared. Then, no matter how much spiritual power Yan Chutian poured, the stone tablet remained silent.

How could Yan Chutian not know that the shadow of light was a medium for spirit arts? But he obviously missed this opportunity because he didn't know the situation.

But since he missed it, Yan Chutian did not care much and quickly switched to another stone tablet. As before, he slowly poured out his spiritual power.

This time, even if Yan Chutian was ready, the result still ended in failure because he had not expected the shadow pattern of light to not appear on the stone tablet, but the ancient words were complicated and profound.

Then, he tried again and the image on the other stone tablet was completely different from the previous one. This stunned Yan Chutian. No wonder even Luo Xue was stopped by this test. Not only were the spirit arts recorded on each stone tablet different, even the method of revealing spirit arts was baseless and varied.

While Yan Chutian was constantly changing the stone inscription at an extremely fast speed, Luo Xue's beautiful eyes were slowly being pulled back. The situation was as he expected. Even if he could cause a storm in the Tianji Sect, his appearance here was too bad.

Perhaps he was now depressed by the various images on the stone tablets?

Pulling his gaze, Luo Xue became more focused. Today, he would not allow himself to be stopped by this test anymore. He must pass the second exam!

But Luo Xue did not know that beneath the surface of the stone tablet Yan Chutian seemed to be in a hurry to change, he gradually discovered a pattern. The image on the stone tablets looks irregular, but there is actually a pattern.

And this pattern is based on the entire stone tablets forest in the square. It seemed like it was a random forest, but it could also be said to be a formation!

As for why Yan Chutian was able to see this point so quickly, it was due to his rich experience. Moreover, he did not blindly chase and pass the examination according to the method prescribed by the stone tablet.

Even Luo Xue was unable to possess these two points.

Since even his background had been seen by Yan Chutian, this test would naturally be unable to stop him. He kept holding hands.

Then, on this stone tablet, a set of images that Yan Chutian had seen on the first stone tablet appeared again. Although the image only appeared for a short while, when Yan Chutian opened the next stone tablet, the image that appeared was still the same.

Therefore, although it did not take long, when the image appeared on all the stone tablets, the total time was extremely frightening. With Yan Chutian's understanding and experience, if he still could not find this Spiritual Art, that was his own problem.

However, Yan Chutian would obviously not encounter such a problem. After staring at the picture five times, his eyes were focused and an expression of understanding flashed across his face.

"The Absolute Soul's Path? It did not attack the cultivator's body, but directly attacked his consciousness. What a proud Spiritual Art."

Yan Chutian muttered to himself. Although this Spiritual Art was good, it did not surprise him too much. After all, it was not because he did not know of a Spiritual Art that directly attacked a cultivator's consciousness. It was even stronger than the Absolute Soul Palm.

However, attacking one's consciousness directly would cause a certain amount of damage to one's consciousness. For example, if one were to attack another person with his palm and Spiritual Strength, there would naturally be a backlash. That can't be avoided.

Compared to the backlash of one's Spiritual Strength, the damage to one's consciousness was much more serious. Hence, Yan Chutian was neither or unwilling to use it casually.

As the palm landed on the stone tablet, there was no shocking sound. This was because the Absolute Soul Palm was a method to attack one's consciousness. It would directly affect a cultivator's consciousness and there would be no great power on the surface.

However, it should be because the stone tablet did not have an attackable consciousness that Yan Chutian did not feel a backlash. However, what made him feel strange was that his palm seemed to hit nothing. It was as if the stone tablet before him was an illusion.

But soon, Yan Chutian understood the reason. Shortly after the palm strike, the quiet stone tablet emitted a faint light. As his radiance surged, the Spiritual Energy Ripples elongated and wrapped around his body.

Following which, ripples of light instantly swept over Yan Chutian to a level higher than Peak Sacred Master. It was clear that he had passed the second exam!

At the same time, Luo Xue, who saw the other party successfully pass the examination in front of him, was shocked. Although he had always been indifferent to everything, he could not hide the shock in his heart now.

The man he had taken for granted earlier turned out to pass the test in front of him in the blink of an eye. How could his speed be so fast!

It should be known that even he could not pass the second exam so quickly. It wasn't even the first time he had passed the second exam. Moreover, how much time did the other party spend on the second test?

Yan Chutian had no idea that his rapid passing of the exam had caused a huge shock to Luo Xue. However, even if he knew, he might feel that it didn't matter. After all, he had caused too many people to be shocked. Adding Luo Xue would not make much of a difference.

Now, his main concern was the third test he would face. He knew that when Spiritual Strength rippled down him, a third test would appear before him.

The ripples of Spiritual Strength swept Yan Chutian forward and only dropped him when he reached the top of the mountain. At this moment, looking into the distance, he could faintly see a huge palace hidden in the forest before him.

Yan Chutian knew that it should be where Master Yin-yang of the Southern Region was located.

However, on the ground in front of him, there was an enormous chess game. It was obvious that the red chess piece on Yan Chutian's side only had a few chess pieces left. After the black chess piece made a few more moves, the red chess piece would be completely wiped out. This is definitely a dead chess piece!

"Do I have to break the chess game to pass the final exam?"

Yan Chutian muttered to himself. Looking at some dead red chess pieces, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Maybe this chess game is a dead chess game for others. There is no way out at all. Even if you think about it for a few days and nights, you can't think of a way to stop the game. However, it was not the same for him.

Since it was a dead chess game, he could instantly break it. Why does he have to be so stiff ?!

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his right palm and manipulated Spiritual Strength to gently suppress the black chess piece in midair. Great Spiritual Strength surged. No matter how powerful the black chess piece was, it was crushed by Yan Chutian and turned into powder.

With the reduction of one black chess piece, the red chess piece got a chance to breathe, and the dead chess piece was also solved.

However, before Yan Chutian had a chance to rejoice, many black chess pieces looked furious. They were filled with the aura of Spiritual Strength, and then they charged towards Yan Chutian to suppress him.

Each black chess piece that fell down carried enough aura to seriously injure a first-rate Elixsir Realm practitioner. In such a ferocious situation, even if a first-rate Elixsir Realm practitioner saw him, he could only choose to escape quickly. Facing it head on would only result in serious injuries or even death!

However, facing such a situation, Yan Chutian's face became excited. Seeing the number of black chess pieces exploding towards him, he whispered, "Is this the real third test?"

As he whispered, Yan Chutian's face showed no fear. Perhaps such an attack was enough to injure any Level One Elixir Realm practitioner, and a Peak Spirit Transformation cultivator could only cover his head and escape. However, he did not fall into that category.
