Chapter 1014 - 338: Power of the Earth

Woo woo woo~~~

An endless expanse of yellow sand, with gale-force winds howling as terrifying tornadoes sweep up infinite sands, wreaking havoc between heaven and earth.

Unceasing, never-ending.

Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged on the ground, with the hurricane swirling past him, instantly burying him in countless yellow sands.

Bang~~

After the hurricane passed.

Lin Zheyu’s body slightly trembled, the yellow sand scattered, and the small pile of sand on the ground disappeared in an instant.

"Four days now..."

"There’s not the slightest trace of spiritual energy in this place; could it be that the Witch Race strongman intends to trap me here until I perish?"

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes and looked at the endless yellow sand, sensing an ominous feeling in his heart.

Being trapped in a place is not scary.

Even if that place were the Demon Realm, it would be so.

The terrifying part is being trapped in a barren world, devoid of anything, no spiritual energy, no demonic energy.

This place is truly a field of no spirit.

"The key to triggering this test has nothing to do with time or place."

"The test of the physical body has passed; what remains is comprehension, will, and degrees of accord with the witch cultivation system."

"This realm is highly likely to be a test of temperament."

"But it could also be a test of comprehension..."

Lin Zheyu’s eyes flickered slightly.

He had attempted to fully utilize the Shrinking Earth Skill, to explore the boundaries of this world, seeking the secrets contained within it.

Unfortunately.

Apart from the endless sands, there was nothing else, a futile waste of the immense energy accumulated in his Divine Treasure.

"I can’t just sit and wait..."

Lin Zheyu softly murmured, slowly standing up.

There is no energy here; energy must be conserved.

Lin Zheyu shifted his thoughts slightly, closing the Spiritual Treasure; unless at the last resort, he had no intention of opening it.

He planned to try and see if this test was truly a challenge of his willpower.

Woo woo woo~~~

The hurricane howled.

Thinking of distant places, Lin Zheyu advanced aimlessly, measuring this dead expanse of sand with his own feet.

As he advanced, Lin Zheyu constantly observed this world, attempting to comprehend something from this realm.

Time flows like water, years pass by in a flash.

Lin Zheyu has journeyed who knows how far in this endless expanse of yellow sands.

In his perception.

Lin Zheyu has been trekking in this dead wasteland of yellow sand for over a year.

He kept walking, endlessly walking, with nothing but infinite yellow land and eternally howling yellow sands all around him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Cough cough cough—

Lin Zheyu’s breath was somewhat heavy, accidentally inhaling some sand, causing him to cough repeatedly.

"Four hundred and eighty-three days..."

"Both my physical body and spirit are nearing exhaustion; if this trial isn’t a test of spiritual will, then all this suffering will be for nothing."

Lin Zheyu softly murmured.

At this moment, he appeared haggard, the once tall and robust body turned skinny and gaunt, his Qi Blood already completely exhausted.

The body was also nearly at the brink of collapse.

The fatigued spirit and soul prevented Lin Zheyu from pondering anything else.

Dragging his weakened body, with staggering steps, his spirit already somewhat dazed.

Had it not been for his resilient will, he would have already succumbed to his frail body and lay on the ground.

"Hmm?"

"What is this?"

"Am I hallucinating because I’m too weak?"

Lin Zheyu shook his head a bit, with his consciousness slightly foggy.

However, no matter how he shook his head, it was to no avail.

As long as Lin Zheyu opened his eyes and looked up, he could see amidst the howling wind, the rampant yellow sands coalescing into myriad ancient symbols filled with a wilderness aura.

These symbols were very familiar to Lin Zheyu.

Their rough, wild, and grand style was identical to the five symbols he had seen before!

"No, it’s not an illusion!"

"It seems this is the real test of this trial!"

Lin Zheyu’s spirit was suddenly invigorated, snapping out of his haze in an instant of clarity.

With a slight shift of thought, the tightly closed Spiritual Treasure abruptly opened.

The stored spiritual energy within the Spiritual Treasure, under Lin Zheyu’s control, drifted out ten strands of weak energy.

The energy merged into Lin Zheyu’s spiritual soul.

In an instant, the almost exhausted and fatigued spirit and soul were alleviated considerably.

However.

With the recovery of his spirit and soul, Lin Zheyu found that the mysterious symbols in the sky had disappeared!

"A dual test of spiritual will and comprehension?"

"It seems I have to comprehend the Witch Script contained in this realm at the spiritual limit to pass this trial."

Lin Zheyu softly murmured, finally understanding the contents of this trial.

At this moment, although his spirit was incredibly exhausted and his body weak beyond measure.

Lin Zheyu’s spirit, however, shone with an unprecedented glow; he finally knew how to pass this trial!

...

Southern Barbarians.

In a desolate and uninhabited mountain forest.

A handsome young man, dressed in fine clothes and exuding extraordinary temperament, strolled in leisurely.

The youth was tall and straight, with an air of arrogance on his brows.

"Vanished..."

"Does a relic or a Secret Realm exist here?"

Wu Yiyi softly murmured.

He had employed numerous means to investigate the killer of Wu Yixuan, but to no avail.

Hence, Wu Yiyi turned his attention to Lin Zheyu.

According to the reports from the people he deployed back then, before Wu Yixuan’s death, he had already tracked down Xiao Yu’s whereabouts.

The three of them were lurking in the shadows, intending to directly kill Xiao Yu with swift action once he appeared.
