Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 522 - 518: Trial in the Dilapidated Divine Hall

Xia Feng furrowed his brows as he continued to explore deeper, contemplating his current situation.

The cultivation of Divine Techniques involved the Nameless Divine Technique and the Infinite Divine Technique, which formed the core of his cultivation.

As for Divine Artifacts, there were the Spirit Light Flying Boat and the Heaven-Burying Sword.

In terms of cultivation, it wasn’t entirely smooth sailing. Although he had reached the Ninth Grade True God Realm, apart from the Great Dao of the Celestial Sword, the others were still empty shells, requiring him to gradually elevate his understanding of the other Great Daos.

Therefore, what he most needed now might be to enhance his perception of the other Great Daos and solidify his current foundation, right?

But... is there such an existence?

As Xia Feng pondered, he continued to slay the surrounding Resentful Beasts.

Originally, he thought this was already the inner area, but the Jiu Wu Dragon indicated that this was merely the fringe.

If one day his cultivation could unravel the secrets of the entire God Burial Valley, he estimated he would be invincible in the whole Divine Domain.

The surrounding Resentful Beasts, which started with Martial God Cultivation, gradually increased, and the ones at the Celestial God Realm began to appear.

When Xia Feng stepped into what he believed was the core area, all the surrounding Resentful Beasts were already at the Celestial God Realm, and occasionally one or two at the True God Realm would attack Xia Feng, seemingly ready to devour him at any moment and turn him into one of their kind.

Although the Resentful Beasts at the True God Realm posed no significant trouble for Xia Feng, their numbers began to cause him a slight headache.

His Heaven-Burying Sword’s group attack skills were somewhat tricky against these non-corporeal Resentful Beasts, and he could only strike them down one by one as the True God Realm Resentful Beasts surrounded him.

Xia Feng frowned, unable to help but think that if he had some method of attacking souls, it would be great.

Or perhaps a group attack skill that could deal with ethereal bodies.

As soon as this thought arose, Xia Feng suddenly noticed the mist before him thinning a bit, and a dilapidated Divine Hall inexplicably appeared in a certain direction.

Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat. Instead of feeling excited, he felt conflicted.

He was very sure that nothing existed in that direction when he checked earlier, and the Divine Hall seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Nonetheless, strange incidents in the Divine Burial Hall weren’t uncommon; things like the relocation of the Divine Hall were minor occurrences.

Xia Feng was perplexed because he had pondered for so long on enhancing his understanding of other Great Daos, yet received no feedback from the Divine Burial Hall.

Now, as soon as he thought about acquiring a group attack skill to deal with ethereal bodies, a Divine Hall appeared before him.

He was worried that the items inside weren’t what he truly needed, or perhaps, not as desirable as he imagined.

However, with the Divine Hall already here, Xia Feng was unsure if there would be any other Divine Hall further inside for him to inherit.

His hesitation was brief before he made up his mind, changing direction and quickly heading towards the dilapidated Divine Hall.

The doors of the Divine Hall were open, but inside was shrouded in thick darkness, obscuring the view.

Xia Feng tightened his grip on the Heaven-Burying Sword, preparing for battle before cautiously stepping into the dilapidated Divine Hall.

The first step felt ordinary, but as both feet entered, Xia Feng distinctly sensed an invisible, transparent membrane sweep over him.

The sensation was much like emerging from a spatial void.

Xia Feng suspected that he had been transported to another space within the Divine Hall, increasing his vigilance as he cautiously explored further.

After walking about a few dozen meters, three identical doors suddenly appeared before Xia Feng.

He explored for a long time, unable to find any differences between the three doors, nor did he find a way to open them.

Xia Feng was momentarily puzzled, wondering if this was a test from the Divine Hall.

It was similar to when he obtained three items from the Ancient Divine Hall, where the initial test was meant to grant him only one. But since Xia Feng was strong, he passed all three trials and took away all the rewards.

At this moment, he was certainly unwilling to choose only one option, abandoning the other two, but the Divine Hall gave no hints on how he could claim all the rewards.

While Xia Feng was at a loss, exploring the doors, his Heaven-Burying Sword inadvertently knocked against one of them.

A crisp sound emerged from the door, seeming to cleanse the soul, instantly clearing Xia Feng’s mind.

He felt the sound reverberate through his sea of consciousness, sharpening his thoughts.

Xia Feng wasn’t sure whether to be happy or resigned.

Such a clear soul-targeted response seemed to be aligned with his later need.

Although it wasn’t an enhancement of other Great Daos, having a trump card against souls was pretty decent too.

As Xia Feng thought about this, he began using the scabbard of his Heaven-Burying Sword to strike the three doors.

The three doors began to reveal their distinct features.

Even though Xia Feng struck the same position with the same force, the sounds from the three doors were different.

The sound from the first door mostly purified his state, strengthening his sea of consciousness and soul.

The sound from the middle door had substantial attack power, requiring Xia Feng to brace himself each time he struck it; otherwise, the sounds would cause his sea of consciousness to churn uncomfortably.

The last door was the oddest; each hit produced a visible transparent ripple that emerged from the door, yet Xia Feng felt nothing.

The ripple seemed ineffective, merely sweeping over him and then passing into the deeper parts of the Divine Hall.

If there was anything different about this door compared to the other two, it was that the sound it produced seemed more pleasant?

Xia Feng mulled over the situation with the last door, wondering if its lack of phenomena meant it was either the weakest or the strongest.

Thus, Xia Feng was a bit hesitant, uncertain about which door he should choose.

While he deliberated, several heavy breathing sounds suddenly emerged from the otherwise empty Divine Hall, startling Xia Feng. After all, he had meticulously confirmed that there were no Resentful Beasts or similar entities inside during his earlier exploration.
