Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure-Chapter 53 - Lingxiao Mountain Gate Stone Tablet, the Training Ground Was Actually a Sect

Under the dim environment, he could only vaguely see that it was a treasure chest. Looks like this place was just like that secret area.

As Su Yi thought to himself, the true essence under his feet stirred, and the clear water rippled as he quickly approached. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

This treasure chest appeared rather abrupt at the bottom of the lake, as if it was placed here on purpose.

He opened it forcefully, and some bubbles appeared along with the opening of the treasure chest.

With a flash of multicolored light, the items in the treasure chest were reflected in front of Su Yi’s eyes.

He saw three sparkling white pearls, and he reached out and picked them up.

[Hint: You have obtained essence of water x 3]

[Hint: Progress of the water swamp trial, 4/10]

There was nothing else in the treasure chest except for the three essence of water.

Looking at the three glittering essence of water in his hand, he was slightly stunned.

If this was the trial, then was it not too easy to find these things?

In fact, he did not know that in this dense forest of the water swamp, many genius cultivators had gone crazy and found nothing.

Therefore, Su Yi had some guesses. The essence of water in this dense forest of trees was probably limited. As long as there were enough cultivators who passed the first Heaven’s trial, then, the remaining cultivators could only stay in the first trial and could not go to the second trial.

Of course, this was only a guess, but it also gave him a sense of urgency.

He could not delay any longer. He had to quickly find the essence of water.

…

He channeled his true essence into his eyes, and his field of vision became clearer as he observed the place. Other than the treasure chest, he also found something strange.

He saw that under the muddy lake, in the clear water, there was actually a square giant boulder among the messy gravel.

What attracted Su Yi’s attention was not the appearance of the boulder, but the flash of light.

That’s right, he actually saw a flash of light on the square boulder, and this was not his misconception. The light would flash once in a while like a beacon, confirming its presence.

He stared at it for a long time. As expected, a moment later, a white flash of light faintly flashed on the moss-covered boulder.

If it was not for the true essence in his eyes right now, he might not have been able to detect it.

Then, his feet moved slightly, and he quickly swam to the boulder.

He saw that the moss covering the boulder was thick, with wisps of green silk drifting with the flowing water, making it impossible to see what the boulder really looked like.

‘What on Earth is this?’ He thought to himself. Then, he used his hand to gently pull apart the moss threads.

After pulling for a while, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the huge rock with some shock in his eyes.

The moment he came into contact with the huge rock, a force was transmitted from it. It spread through his entire body through his arm.

Then, while Su Yi was in a daze, he discovered that he had already arrived in front of a huge gate among some mountains.

The two huge pillars were engraved with some inscriptions that he could not understand stood tall, reaching into the sky.

In Su Yi’s eyes, between these two majestic pillars, there was a staircase that led to an unknown place.

At the side of the staircase, there was a huge stone tablet. On it were three large words that were engraved with the flowing charm of Dao.

‘Lingxiao sect’

He looked at the huge stone tablet and cried out in a low voice. Looking from afar, he could no longer see it clearly. There was a hazy fog everywhere, giving off an extremely surreal feeling.

He looked around him. Other than the mountain gate that he was at, everything was covered by the fog. He could not see the surrounding scene clearly.

“Where exactly is this place?”

Su Yi could not help but be on guard since he had come to this place for no reason, and it was very likely to be an illusion.

If he really knew that his real body was still in the water, without the protection of true essence, he was afraid that…

“Don’t panic, it’s fated.”

An ancient voice came from behind Su Yi, making him jump a few steps back in shock.

A figure had appeared behind him without him noticing.

This figure was a white-haired old man wearing a long white robe. His body was somewhat illusory, so much so that Su Yi could see the fog behind him through his body.

However, this figure did not seem dull to him. Instead, it stood in front of him like a living person.

He looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared and asked in a deep voice, “who are you? What is this place? Why did you bring me into this illusion?”

Su Yi’s expression was cautious. His gaze was solemn as he looked at the figure, and his body had already tensed up.

When he saw Su Yi acting like this, the illusory old man stroked his grayish-white long beard and laughed.

“Fated person, you don’t have to be so nervous. As you can see, this place is just an illusion.”

The old man in white waved his hand and looked at the surrounding fog.

His gaze seemed to be able to see through the fog, completely able to see the entire mountain area.

His expression seemed to be filled with nostalgia, at the same time, there was also some desolation and sadness.

It seemed to be regretting something, but soon, the old man’s illusory figure put away this expression.

He turned his gaze to Su Yi and said indifferently, his voice somewhat ethereal, “fated person, I am the third elder of Lingxiao sect, Yunxiao.”

He did not ask for Su Yi’s name. Perhaps he did not need to know Su Yi’s name at all.

Su Yi stared at the old man’s illusory figure without saying anything. When he heard the old man’s tone, it was obvious that he had not finished speaking.

As expected, immediately after, the old man Yunxiao’s gaze was a little profound as he spoke indifferently.

“I know that you have many questions in your heart, but listen to me first. This place is the mountain gate of my Lingxiao sect…”

Su Yi roughly understood the old man Yunxiao’s words.

It was this Triple Heaven Trial that was once a large sect in a certain realm. Later on, due to the realm collapsing, the sect also perished and turned into this Triple Heaven Trial in the mystic realm.

After waiting for an unknown number of years, only then did Su Yi come into contact with that stone tablet. It was that moss-covered mountain gate stone tablet.

That was why this scene happened.

After the old man slowly finished speaking, there was respect on Su Yi’s expression. According to what this Yunxiao old man said, the Lingxiao sect was once one of the sects that fought against the outer realm heavenly devil.

Although he did not know what the outer realm heavenly devil was, he knew from the name that it was not something good.

With some respect, he cupped his fists and bowed to Elder Yunxiao as he said, “senior, this junior already roughly understands the matters of senior’s sect. It’s just that I don’t know what you need this junior to do.”

A faint smile appeared on the white-robed elder’s aged face. With a flip of his hand, a material key appeared in his hand.

He said indifferently with an amiable expression, “take it. If you’re fated to go to the extreme of this trial, you’ll get the answer.”

After he finished speaking, the elder’s figure disappeared, leaving behind the bright golden key that was suspended in the air.

After the old man disappeared, the illusory realm seemed to have lost some sort of support. It began to slowly fade away, preparing to disappear.

Seeing this, Su Yi gritted his teeth and grabbed the key. Immediately after, a burst of light shot out in all directions.

The illusion was shattered.
