Chapter 564: Chapter 0559: Eighth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid

“Your Excellency is truly extraordinary, to have passed the sixth trial with the cultivation at the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm!”

A crisp voice came through, like the flowing water of a song, very pleasant to the ear.

Chen Yu glanced over, and there stood Yun Fei’er.

He hadn’t expected that after passing the trial, she hadn’t left but was nearby.

“Just luck, a difficult victory. Unlike you, who breezed through the sixth trial.”

Chen Yu modestly said.

“I am, after all, at the Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak, Golden Emblem Holy Guard. It’s not surprising for me to pass the sixth trial, is it? But you?”

Yun Fei’er’s beautiful eyes scrutinized Chen Yu, from head to toe and then from toe to head.

She had been ready to leave just moments ago but noticed someone challenging the sixth trial, and it was Chen Yu, so she paid a bit more attention.

She had thought before that Chen Yu’s ambition was great, daring to try the sixth trial.

However, when Chen Yu emerged from the back of the ancient temple of the sixth trial, Yun Fei’er was stunned.

She was very curious to know what was so special about this man before her that allowed him to pass the sixth trial.

Even for her, passing the sixth trial had not been easy.

“It wasn’t me, it was us. My Spirit Pet just had a breakthrough in its cultivation, and so I brought it along for the trial. We just happened to encounter the relatively easier interference of flames.”

Chen Yu explained.

He knew outsiders would find it difficult to believe that Chen Yu could pass the sixth trial based on his strength alone, so he attributed the reasons to the Red Flame King.

In fact, that was indeed the case, but ordinary people did not know that this ancient beast also harbored great secrets.

“Oh? This Fire Path Ancient Beast is indeed quite extraordinary.”

Yun Fei’er’s gaze then landed on the Red Flame King, following up with her comment.

However, in her heart, even if Chen Yu combined his strength with this Fire Path Ancient Beast, it would not be possible for him to pass the sixth trial.

Since Chen Yu wasn’t willing to elaborate, she did not press him.

Everyone has their own secrets, and so does she.

Chen Yu was able to pass the sixth trial at just the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm; his potential in the future was boundless.

Perhaps by the next time Sky Sea Mountain opens, Chen Yu could reach the eighth trial!

Therefore, Yun Fei’er had no intention of becoming enemies with Chen Yu.

“The night is deep, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave first.”

Chen Yu, seeing Yun Fei’er silent for a long time, suggested leaving.

“This man…”

Yun Fei’er gazed at Chen Yu’s broad and upright back, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.

Having passed the sixth trial, Chen Yu could live in a better cultivation cave.

What a pity that the trials of Sky Sea Mountain were ending soon, and he would have limited time to stay here.

“With the Fifth and Sixth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquids, I can greatly reduce the time needed to break through to the Late Guiyuan Realm.”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but laugh, very pleased.

But there had been an unexpected event; Yun Fei’er had seen him after he passed the sixth trial.

If this woman widely publicized it the next day, it would only bring Chen Yu a lot of trouble.

However, thinking of Yun Fei’er’s character and conduct, Chen Yu believed it to be very unlikely that she would do such a thing.

Thus, Chen Yu no longer dwelled on these thoughts; it was useless to think too much.

He sat down peacefully and began to cultivate.

As for the two types of Sky Sea Sacred Liquids, Chen Yu was not in a hurry to consume them.

Time flew by, and Sky Sea Mountain had already been open for a year.

On this day, in the early morning.

An ancient and profound bell toll echoed from the peak of Sky Sea Mountain, awakening everyone who was in the midst of secluded cultivation in their caves.

“Ah, it’s over!”

“So soon? I was just a little away from a breakthrough.”

“Sigh, I’ll have to try again in twenty years.”

The restrictions on Sky Sea Mountain lifted, and all the people left their caves and flew out, some joyful, some sorrowful.

Chen Yu left his cave swiftly, so not many people noticed which area he came from; otherwise, it would have definitely caused a huge commotion.

“She indeed didn’t spread word about my business,” Chen Yu murmured to himself.

“How was this year’s harvest?”

Ye Luofeng approached Chen Yu and asked.

“Not bad.”

Chen Yu was fairly satisfied with his trip to Sky Sea Mountain.

Seeing Ye Luofeng’s happy demeanor, she seemed to be quite satisfied as well.

After asking, Chen Yu learned that during this trip to Sky Sea Mountain, Ye Luofeng had truly gained an incredible opportunity.

Chen Yu had spent most of his time in seclusion, in a different area from Ye Luofeng, so there was much he didn’t know.

As it turned out, when Ye Luofeng was challenging the fifth trial, she had somehow drawn the attention of the residual will of Sky Sea Mountain.

“Actually, this opportunity is mainly due to the fragment of the Heavenly Que Sword.”

Ye Luofeng mentioned again.

With her abilities, it would be difficult to draw the residual will left behind by a strong practitioner of the Sky Sea Realm after their death.

It was mainly when she was challenging the trial using the Heavenly Moon Sword that it resonated with the fragments of the Heavenly Que Sword on Sky Sea Mountain, attracting them.

And that broken sword fragment brought with it the residual will of a Sky Sea Realm strong practitioner.

After gaining this opportunity, Ye Luofeng went into seclusion for three months before she passed the fifth trial, making a name for herself on Sky Sea Mountain.

It was just that she hadn’t seen Chen Yu after passing the fifth trial; perhaps it was just bad luck.

She had not anticipated that Chen Yu would later reach the sixth trial.

“I never expected Miss Ye to have such fortune. As far as I know, aside from the geniuses who passed the seventh and eighth trials, only you and Situ Lin Yu have drawn out the residual will of the Sky Sea Realm.”

Out of nowhere, Yun Fei’er approached the two, speaking kindly.

The higher the level of the challenge, the easier it is to attract the residual will of the Sky Sea Realm.

It is said that Little Sword Master Bai Yang drew out the residual will of an extremely powerful Sky Sea Realm expert while he was alive.

Ye Luofeng looked at Yun Fei’er. Although the other party was speaking very kindly, she couldn’t help but feel a defensive hostility, as if the other party might snatch away something important from her.

Swoosh–

At the summit of Sky Sea Mountain, several figures flew down, each emitting strong fluctuations of energy, with Little Sword Master Bai Yang leading the way.

He stood atop a sword radiating blue light, leaving a trail of shimmering watery reflections as he darted out.

“Eh? Little Sword Master Bai Yang hasn’t broken through to the Sky Sea Realm?”

“Sun Wuhai, Wei Qing, Shen Han, and the others haven’t broken through either!”

The crowd felt a surge of confusion upon seeing those Law Enforcement Holy Guards.

In the past, many Law Enforcement Holy Guards would wait for the opening of Sky Sea Mountain, using the Sky Sea Sacred Liquid and the geographical advantages to attempt a breakthrough into the Sky Sea Realm.

Little Sword Master Bai Yang himself had a great chance of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm. It was unexpected that after staying on Sky Sea Mountain for a year, he still hadn’t made the breakthrough.

What was even stranger was that not a single Law Enforcement Holy Guard had broken through to the Sky Sea Realm.

“It is said that there is a reason why Sky Sea Mountain opened early this time, and most of the Law Enforcement Holy Guards have received some secret information. Perhaps that’s why they didn’t attempt to breakthrough to the Sky Sea Realm.”

Yun Fei’er said.

“What secret information?”

Chen Yu was very curious.

Sky Sea Mountain opportunities were rare; what could it be that made them give up on trying to advance to the Sky Sea Realm?

“The information is extremely secretive; I am not clear on that as well.”

Yun Fei’er shook her head.

“Right, that elder told me not to rush into the Tongyun Tower. Could it really be that there’s some secret?”

Chen Yu suddenly remembered what an aged elder had warned him about after he had passed the fifth level.

Boom!

Just as everyone left Sky Sea Mountain, a palace at the summit of the Holy Land erupted with a breathtaking aura.

The heavens and the earth were in turmoil as a blue misty halo floated in the void.

Swoosh!

A dazzling blue light burst forth, revealing a figure within–graceful and elegant, breathtakingly beautiful, inspiring an involuntary sense of awe in others.

Her eyes were deep azure, and her treasure-blue hair moved without wind, like undulating waves, making her appear like a noble and inviolable fairy.

“She’s so beautiful. Who is this woman?”

Many Holy Guards wondered in their hearts, but due to the powerful cultivation aura she emitted, they didn’t make any rash moves.

“Guardian Lan Yue!”

Just then, elders from atop Sky Sea Mountain, including the Great Elder at the summit, all flew out and shouted in unison.

This scene frightened many Holy Guards!

“It’s actually a protector!”

Chen Yu was inwardly shocked.

He knew of the hierarchy in the Holy Land, above the elders were the Great Elders, and above the Great Elders were the protectors!

“I believe you are all curious as to why Sky Sea Mountain was opened ahead of time.”

“That is because the Master of Holy Land has a sacred and glorious task to assign to you. Without significant strength, the task cannot be accomplished.”

Guardian Lan Yue’s imposing yet elegant voice spread in all directions.

“A task?”

Those uninformed were filled with intense curiosity.

Moreover, all the Holy Guards knew that the tasks from the Holy Land were highly dangerous, fearing that this time it wouldn’t be good news.

“This task is of no small significance, and slots are limited. In six months, the Holy Land will hold a selection competition for the slots. Only those who obtain a slot will be able to alleviate the concerns of the Master of Holy Land!”

Guardian Lan Yue spoke again.

“It seems that this task must be very dangerous.”

“With the tasks of the Holy Land already being dangerous, one can imagine how perilous this particular task must be, given that they have opened Sky Sea Mountain early to allow us to strengthen ourselves.”

Many listened to Guardian Lan Yue’s words, yet they had no urge to participate in the slot competition.

Normally, it was the Holy Land that issued tasks and selected individuals; never had a Holy Guard proactively sought out assignments.

“By the way, anyone who participates in this task, successful or not, will be rewarded with a cup of Eighth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid by the Master of Holy Land upon their return!”

Guardian Lan Yue seemed to have anticipated the reaction, revealing a slight smile.

As soon as these words were uttered, the crowd exploded in excitement!

Eighth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid!

That was a heavenly treasure that could only be acquired by passing the eighth challenge of Sky Sea Mountain!

“Successful or not, as long as you return, you will be rewarded with Eighth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid!”

“What kind of task is this, to offer such generous rewards?”

“If I received a cup of Eighth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid, I could immediately break through an entire level!”

Many Holy Guards were thoroughly excited.

Eighth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid was extremely precious for the Law Enforcement Holy Guards, not to mention the Silver and Golden Emblem Holy Guards.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was also greatly tempted.

“In six months, the selection competition will begin, open only to Silver Emblem, Golden Emblem, and Law Enforcement Holy Guards. Work hard, as the slots are limited!”

After Guardian Lan Yue uttered these words, she floated down and returned to the palace.

“Isn’t the Saint Master too generous, giving away Eighth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid to these humans just like that?”

Inside the palace, a blue-robed elder spoke to Guardian Lan Yue with a slight tease in his tone after seeing her return.

“Without offering some sweeteners, how would these humans be willing to put in the effort?”

Guardian Lan Yue responded with a light smile.

“Heh, that is true.”

The blue-robed elder chuckled before adding, “It’s a pity, though. It’s such an important matter, and we can’t take action ourselves. Instead, we have to rely on these humans to do it, essentially giving them a bargain.”
