The passage wasn't particularly deep. Li Qing went down, and after only about a minute, he reached the end. What greeted his eyes was a secret chamber with a length, width, and height of ten meters.
In the center of the secret chamber stood three stone platforms, each holding different objects.
On the left stone platform was a longsword whose blade was invisible. The reason he determined it was a sword was because Li Qing had a sensation the moment he saw it.
That was his special reward after completing the third trial.
The Reincarnation Sword.
On the central stone platform was a yin-yang colored bead, about the size of a ping-pong ball, emitting a terrifying aura that made even Li Qing feel a chill in his heart.
On the right stone platform was a black-framed round mirror, from which no aura could be felt, as if it were an ordinary mirror.
Seeing them, Li Qing also had a sudden, inexplicable understanding: these were his subsequent special rewards, which he could not touch now, otherwise, he might not be able to keep his life.
However, since they would be his sooner or later, Li Qing was not in a hurry.
He approached the left stone platform, reached out and gripped the hilt, and infused spirit power into it. Dazzling purple light instantly illuminated the entire secret chamber.
The next second, Li Qing felt as if he had a slight connection with the Reincarnation Sword.
At the same time, an extremely terrifying aura emanated with the purple light. If anyone else were present, that aura alone would probably be enough to take their lives.
However, that aura had no effect on Li Qing; it even made him feel a strange sense of familiarity.
The Reincarnation Sword was a reward to begin with, so there was no need for other forms of assessment. Li Qing very easily pulled it out of the stone platform.
The hilt was one foot long, the sword was three feet and three inches deep, and three inches wide, with an overall purple color.
The triangular sword pommel, combined with a slightly exaggerated yet aesthetically pleasing guard, had a somewhat Western fantasy feel. A string of strange runes was also carved on the sword spine.
With a thought, the Reincarnation Sword instantly disappeared, appearing in his dantian.
With another thought, it reappeared in his hand.
After putting away the Reincarnation Sword again, a smile involuntarily appeared on Li Qing's face. With the Reincarnation Sword, he no longer had to worry about lacking offensive power in close combat.
The Reincarnation Sword, a super divine-grade weapon, was not something any Spirit could compare to.
After taking one last look at the items on the other two stone platforms, Li Qing turned and left. When he reached the passage entrance, before he could think much, the exit automatically opened for him.
Standing before the altar, Li Qing re-evaluated the fourth trial.
The fourth trial was to establish a Sect, which was not difficult for him. After all, the Underworld King Sect was just short of having its Sect built; once it was completed, the trial would naturally be fulfilled.
There was no need to announce anything to the outside world either.
The only difficulty might be the time limit; it had to be completed within three years. However, if he had to start from scratch, it would indeed be somewhat challenging.
But his faction was already well-established.
The rest could be left to time.
He didn't need to supervise the Sect's construction. What he wanted to do more now was to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He had never forgotten the divine Spirit Bone that might exist beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
With his current strength, he should be able to challenge it again.
His spirit power level had now reached ninety-seven, seemingly only two levels away from the limit of mortals, but those two levels were not so easy to cross.
If two divine Spirit Bones could help, he might be able to cross it in one go.
Perhaps even with his current strength, he would not fear Qian Daoliu, but reaching ninety-nine levels would certainly be more secure, and the losses incurred by war would be much smaller.
However, even if there were no Spirit Bones, or if he could no longer withstand the extreme power of ice and fire, he did not intend to delay.
Wait until Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong become Gods?
Perhaps by then, he would also be close to becoming a God and would not fear them either, but if something could be dealt with in advance, why drag it out until then?
It would be like having his brain squeezed by a door.
Moreover, even if he couldn't reach ninety-nine levels in a short time, he had ways to increase his side's combat power. He was even confident in destroying Spirit Hall without the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Star Dou Great Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Upon returning to this place, Li Qing noticed some changes. The Earth Dragon Golden Melon Vine he had reburied years ago had not withered.
It seemed to have survived, but he wondered how many years it would take to bear fruit.
Not just the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, but the roots of other immortal-grade plants, except for the Yearning Heartbroken Red, had also begun to sprout. However, it would likely take a very long time for them to reach immortal-grade quality.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red was a bit of a shame; its roots had already withered.
But it was not a big problem. Anyway, even if they grew completely again, it wouldn't be Li Qing who would enjoy them, nor even his descendants.
After all, he would bring everyone close to him to the God Realm.
As for the rules, to quote Sea God, rules are dead, but people are alive. As long as you are strong enough, you are the rule-maker, and no one can defy your will.
Whoever dares to stand in the way shall be eliminated.
!
Li Qing stripped off all his clothes and dove into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, plunging straight down.
Initially, the extreme power of ice and fire contained within the spring could not cause him any trouble, but as he dove deeper and deeper,
This situation gradually changed.
When he had descended about a hundred meters, the temperature was already beyond what Li Qing could endure with just his physical body.
However, this was already much better than his last time. When he came down last time, he couldn't hold on at about fifty meters, and even with the protection of his spirit power, he only managed to dive ten meters deeper.
As Li Qing's spirit power surged, a thin film of spirit power appeared on his skin, enveloping his entire body.
With the appearance of that spirit power film, he suddenly felt that the two extreme forces around him seemed to be greatly weakened, making it difficult for them to cause him any harm.
Li Qing continued to circulate his spirit power and kept diving.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters... Li Qing continuously descended. From the hundred-meter depth, he quickly plunged fifty meters deeper, and after swimming another ten meters or so, Li Qing suddenly felt a sense of clarity.
It turned out that beneath this spring, there was a huge underwater space.
A space over three hundred meters in diameter and over fifty meters in height, and at the bottom of that space lay two corpses.
Not skeletons, but actual corpses.
They were two dragons, each over a hundred meters long, with appearances leaning towards Western dragons, one fiery red and the other icy blue. They lay quietly at the bottom of the spring.
Even though they had been lying there for an unknown number of years, their flesh had not decayed, as if they were merely asleep.
However, both of their chests had a penetrating wound, and Li Qing did not feel any life aura from them, indicating that they were not asleep.
They were thoroughly dead.
Even the legendary dragon might had become very weak. Li Qing only vaguely felt a little uncomfortable, but it hadn't reached the point where it made him fearful.
