Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Passing Through Five Levels in Succession

"As long as those Stone Puppets are killed, can one obtain the inheritance?"

"What if they can’t be defeated?"

Lin Chen looked up, and without needing Xu Lianyu to answer, he already had his answer in mind because at that moment, two martial artists fell from the sphere of light.

To be precise, they were two blood-stained corpses, chopped by the Stone Puppets with weapons until their bodies were no longer recognizable, which showed just how powerful those Stone Puppets were.

At this moment, many martial artists from various Sects had entered those spheres of light.

Those spheres of light that appeared above the plaza were tiered, with a total of ten tiers, and each tier had a different number and strength of Stone Puppets to face.

The First Tier had only one Stone Puppet, with the power of about the Third Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, while the Second Tier had two Stone Puppets, each with the strength of the Fourth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm.

As the tiers ascended, the number of emerging Stone Puppets accordingly increased, but as one went further up, the increase in strength was more than just slight.

At present, the highest tier that the crowd had entered was the Fifth Tier, where five Puppets appeared, and the strength of each Stone Puppet was at the Peak of the Melding Earth Realm.

And the person who emerged from that tier was a Demon Cultivator from the Black Cloud Sect dressed in a blood-red robe.

The expressions of the people from the various Sects at the scene were quite ugly; after all, the Major Sects were somewhat interconnected, and the Demon Cultivators of the Black Cloud Sect were not their kind.

Therefore, naturally, they did not want to see a Demon Cultivator from the Black Cloud Sect gain a powerful inheritance.

The Demon Cultivator in the blood-red robe flew down from the tier with a satisfied smile on his face, which suggested that the Treasures he obtained were extraordinary.

Afterward, Lin Chen and the others discussed who should enter the tier first to obtain the Treasures because the number of spots on the tier was limited, and since those spheres of light were moving, one could only leap into the tier from the light sphere’s position when it was right, otherwise, it was impossible to enter.

After a discussion, the Jade Cauldron Sect decided to let Baili Wentian be the first to enter the tier to obtain the inheritance and Treasures.

Seeing this, Baili Wentian was naturally overjoyed, and when the sphere of light reached the Jade Cauldron Sect’s position, he leaped into the tier.

Upon entering the tier, immediately, a Stone Puppet wielding a Stone Heavy Sword appeared and slashed at him.

Baili Wentian destroyed the Stone Puppet in just a few moves and obtained the First Tier’s reward, a greenish elixir.

He then continued to fly up the tier, breaking through two barriers, and when he reached the Fourth Tier, he encountered four Stone Puppets at the Eighth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm. Baili Wentian fought desperately to destroy the four Stone Puppets, but he was also severely injured.

After breaking through the Fourth Tier, Baili Wentian did not dare to continue forward and flew down, satisfied with the rewards from the four tiers.

After coming down, he took the greenish elixir he got from the First Tier, and his injuries rapidly improved, completely recovering after a while.

Everyone was amazed at this sight.

Then the other brothers from the Jade Cauldron Sect entered the tier, and during that time, other martial artists entered too, but none surpassed the Black Cloud Sect member’s achievement on the Fifth Tier.

It was not until Xu Lianyu stepped forward. Xu Lianyu gave it his all to destroy all five Stone Puppets of the Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm at the Fifth Tier. Lin Chen watched closely and saw that Xu Lianyu’s final reward was a purple elixir.

As an Alchemist, Lin Chen noticed the extraordinariness of that elixir at a glance.

After Xu Lianyu had overcome the Fifth Tier, she did not continue to the Sixth Tier. Facing the five stone puppets on the Fifth Tier, she had struggled a bit, and it goes without saying that the sixth challenge might involve Heaven-reaching Realm level stone puppets, which she surely didn’t have the strength to confront.

"Junior Sister Lianyu, what reward did you receive on the Fifth Tier?"

Baili Wentian and Zhao Si came forward with smiles to ask Xu Lianyu.

Xu Lianyu gave the two a sidelong glance without answering and instead went to Lin Chen’s side, whispering into his ear.

"Little Junior Brother, guess what reward I got from the Fifth Tier?"

Xu Lianyu looked at Lin Chen with a proud face and asked smugly.

Hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head, seemingly disinterested.

"Senior Sister, whatever you’ve obtained, you must hide it well, understanding the principle that ’one should not flaunt one’s wealth’."

Lin Chen spoke lightly, glancing at the disciples from Black Cloud Sect and the other sects in the distance.

With so many people around, in the face of interests, they will not care about which sect you are a disciple of; as long as it benefits them, killing and robbing treasures is but too common an occurrence.

"Hmph, I just wanted to share it with you. What I got from the Fifth Tier was a Heaven-reaching Pill!"

Xu Lianyu, despite Lin Chen’s caution, still told him about the elixir she had obtained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s pupils dilated, truly shocked.

The Heaven-reaching Pill was a Fourth-grade High-level Elixir, whose effects could greatly increase the chances for an Earth Melding Realm martial artist to break through to the Heaven-reaching Realm. Moreover, it contained immense energy which was also enormously helpful for breaking through in cultivation.

A Fourth-grade High-level Elixir in the outside world could incite fierce battles among numerous sects, no wonder Xu Lianyu, given her status, would show off proudly in front of Lin Chen.

"Senior Sister, keep this pill safe and do not let other martial artists discover it, or else it will cause a fight."

Lin Chen reminded her again in a soft voice. Xu Lianyu nodded; she wasn’t stupid and of course had kept it safe already.

Afterward, Lin Chen’s second and third Elder Sisters each took their turns on the tiers. Their strength was already at the peak of the Melding Earth Realm, and by exerting all their power, they actually managed to pass the Sixth Level.

After passing the Sixth Level, they too gave up on continuing to ascend the tiers and returned below, showing satisfied expressions on their faces, suggesting that the treasures they obtained were also extraordinary.

Finally, it was Lin Chen’s turn. He leapt up and upon reaching the First Tier, a puppet charged towards him.

Lin Chen did not engage in combat with the stone puppet; instead, with a wave of his hand, the stone puppet instantly vanished.

Not only did Lin Chen resolve the stone puppet without expending any spiritual power, but he also received the reward for the First Tier.

Then, Lin Chen ascended to the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Tiers, employing the same method, he directly collected all fourteen of the subsequent stone puppets into the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

"It really works!"

Lin Chen directly passed five challenges in less than the time it takes a pot of tea to brew, and the rewards he received for the five tiers were a pill for healing injuries, two herbal materials, a talisman inscription, and a Heaven-reaching Pill.
