I, Ye Chen, turned out to be a top expert

Chapter 1152 Peeping into Secrets

Although everything here was swept away by a terrifying being.

The fact that such a terrifying being looks down on the traditions here does not mean that the people here look down on the traditions.

They knew very well that the owner of this cave was a being who was at least half a step beyond the realm of immortality.

For them, the realm of "half-step transcendence" was an unattainable goal.

If they could obtain the other party's inheritance, it would save them from countless detours.

Moreover, everyone harbored a sliver of hope that this cave dwelling was left behind by an extremely terrifying, transcendent being.

In that instant, figures began to bustle about in the main hall.

Soon, someone discovered a secret room.

"There is a secret chamber here, and the array seal above the chamber is still intact. Perhaps this is the place of inheritance!"

The moment the voice fell, everyone suddenly appeared in front of the stone gate.

"As expected, the formation here is perfectly intact!"

"Even if the inheritance isn't here, there must still be many treasures within."

The Jade Flute God Emperor's gaze fell on the stone gate, a hint of fanaticism appearing deep in his eyes.

"This formation is incredibly profound; how can we break it?"

However, a powerful God Emperor frowned the next moment, and when he saw the intricate runes on the stone gate, a look of despair appeared on his face.

He discovered that the array of the stone gate was indestructible and could not be destroyed at all. Now, there was only one way to open the gate, which was to honestly break the array.

"Lord Yang, I see that you are proficient in many formations. Do you know the formation on this stone gate?"

Yang Wanli, who had been hiding behind the crowd, felt the gaze of the Jade Flute God Emperor and looked somewhat helpless.

Yang Wanli actually wished he could leave this cave at this moment, after all, he knew that there must be great danger in this cave.

However, if they leave now, they will be questioned by all the powerful figures.

After all, the opportunity here has vanished.

"I'm sorry, I only have a superficial understanding of formations and I have no idea about such profound formations. However, this formation is somewhat similar to the Yin-Yang Sword Formation."

Yang Wanli said calmly at this moment.

“Indeed, the formation on the gate is indeed related to the Yin-Yang Sword Formation. I can also see through some of it. If we can join forces with City Lord Yang, we might have a chance to break this formation.”

Elder Yun of the Seven Sounds Palace looked at Yang Wanli and said calmly.

"If I can help Elder Yun, I will certainly do my best to assist him."

"However, my knowledge of formations is too superficial, please forgive me, Elder Yun. But today I did bring the secret scroll of the Yin-Yang Sword Formation, I wonder if it will be of any help to Elder Yun."

Yang Wanli wished he could get away from this place, so how could he be willing to join forces with Elder Yun to break the formation?

However, in order not to provoke public anger, Yang Wanli threw out the Yin-Yang Sword Formation scroll in his hand at that moment.

Elder Yun's expression was initially cold, but when he saw Yang Wanli throw out the Yin-Yang Sword Formation Scroll, he stopped paying attention to Yang Wanli and instead looked at it with burning eyes.

At this moment, all those who were proficient in formations surrounded Elder Yun.

Soon, after discussion, a way to break the formation was found.

In just a moment, the array on the stone gate slowly opened.

"It's open! The door's open!"

Upon seeing the sealed stone gate open, the figures' eyes lit up with excitement.

Yang Wanli's voice echoed in Su Xun's mind: "Let's be careful, this place is definitely not simple."

"This formation looks flawless, but I've discovered that it's a temporary forgery. And if the formation outside the cave is already so formidable, the formation here must be far more complex. Yet, this formation is incredibly simple. I suspect there must be some unknown factor at play."

As figures surged in, Yang Wanli and Su Xun exchanged a glance and followed closely behind the crowd.

Since he couldn't leave, he could only take things one step at a time. Moreover, Yang Wanli still had the Mountain and River Map given to him by Ye Chen, which he felt should be able to save his life.

After all, Ye Chen had said that he was not in danger of dying today.

The moment Yang Wanli and Su Xun entered the secret chamber, a voice rang in everyone's minds.

"Congratulations on passing the first test. To receive my inheritance, you must have some knowledge of formations."

"So the formation above the stone gate is your first test, and of course, this test is very simple."

The voice rang in everyone's minds, and in that instant, a phantom slowly appeared in the secret chamber.

The phantom's eyes seemed to reveal a hint of admiration.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

In that instant, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Relaxing in the first hurdle does not mean that the challenges to come will be much easier."

"What will be tested next is your character."

"I have a piece of music here that can awaken the demons in your hearts and create illusions within them."

"Only those who can stay true to themselves for ten minutes under my music will have the ability and qualification to participate in the final test."

Are you all ready?

The voice of that phantom echoed in everyone's minds.

"Thank you for reminding me, senior. We are already prepared."

These God Emperors were incredibly excited and eager to participate in the assessment.

Because they sensed an incredibly powerful aura of a near-transcendent being emanating from this phantom.

Who wouldn't want to inherit the other's legacy?

Seeing the fervor in everyone's eyes, for a moment, a look of disdain appeared in the eyes of this phantom.

However, it was concealed very well, and no one noticed anything.

"Now that everyone is ready, let's begin the second test."

"This piece is called 'Dance of the Heavenly Demons,' and I hope that you can stay true to yourselves under its influence."

"This is actually a test of your mindset. Whether you can persevere to the end is an opportunity for you, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to temper your character."

"So I suggest that if you can persevere, try to persevere for as long as possible."

As the phantom's voice faded, a conch shell appeared in its hand in that instant.

The next moment, the phantom blew the conch shell in its hand, and an incomparably beautiful melody instantly filled the secret room.

The moment the conch shell sounded, the melody seemed to strangely reach everyone's ears.

In just a short while, the expressions of these beings before them began to show signs of struggle.

Even in that instant, large beads of sweat appeared on Yang Wanli's forehead; this piece of music posed a great threat to him.

However, at that moment when Yang Wanli could hardly bear it, the Mountain and River Map in his arms suddenly burst forth with an aura.

This aura instantly calmed Yang Wanli's heart, and at this moment, Yang Wanli was also freed from the control of the conch shell sound.

Yang Wanli was horrified to discover that everyone in the secret room had a different expression.

The sound emanating from the conch shell carried an extremely strange power, a power that actually controlled everyone.

Under the influence of this music, these people actually felt as if someone was spying on their innermost secrets.

Even though Su Xun was right next to Yang Wanli, he was controlled by that power for a moment.

"Su Xun, wake up, wake up quickly!"

Yang Wanli had an extremely dangerous feeling. Without any hesitation, his voice rang in Su Xun's mind, trying to forcefully wake Su Xun up.

However, as he continued to shout, Yang Wanli's expression became extremely anxious. He had not expected that this person's methods would be so terrifying.

"Map of Mountains, Rivers, and States!"

"Yes, the Mountain and River Map must be useful. I was awakened by the aura emanating from the Mountain and River Map just now."

The next moment, Yang Wanli activated the Mountain and River Map, allowing a wisp of its energy to enter Su Xun's body.

Su Xun, who was trapped in an illusion, suddenly woke up in an instant.

His face was incredibly pale, with a hint of panic.

"Calm down, calm down!"

"Don't give yourself away at all!"

"That expert is right, there is indeed great danger here. This is not some kind of inheritance at all. If it were truly a test of a person's character, why would they pry into the secrets of their heart?"

"Neither of us can show any weakness, otherwise we are very likely to be targeted by the other side."

"Now we must quickly seal away some secrets in our hearts and prevent the other party from sensing anything."

"If I had known that such terrible dangers existed in this cave, I would never have entered."

As Yang Wanli finished speaking, Su Xun's forehead was covered in beads of sweat from nervousness.

The thought of how he had questioned Ye Chen made Su Xun want to slap himself.

Just now, Su Xun's body was invaded by the sound of the conch shell dancing wildly. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't get rid of it. It was as if that power wanted to see through the secrets in his heart and control his soul.

Upon hearing Yang Wanli's suggestion, Su Xun did not hesitate at all and instantly activated a secret technique to seal some secrets in his heart.

The illusory figure in the secret chamber sat in the void, manipulating countless other figures in that instant. Just as Yang Wanli had said, he was currently spying on the secrets of everyone before him.

The next moment, Yang Wanli immediately sealed his memories, allowing that power to explore them. As for the true core secret, Yang Wanli would never let the other party know it.

Soon, the music ended, and the illusory figure frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over Yang Wanli and Su Xun with a somewhat puzzled expression.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Soon, he waved his hand, and strange power entered everyone's bodies, causing each figure to tremble violently.

Someone coughed up a mouthful of blood instantly and collapsed to the ground, as if all their strength had been drained away.

Even those who could barely maintain their composure looked somewhat pale at this moment.

"You guys are eliminated and can leave. You are not qualified to participate in the next test."

Before anyone could calm down, the figure's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Thank you for going easy on me, senior!"

Bitterness appeared in the eyes of these people. When the illusory figure spoke, they dared not delay and walked out of the secret room with difficulty. However, the next moment, Yang Wanli's pupils suddenly contracted.

According to Yang Wanli's perception, these figures had only walked a short distance out of the secret chamber when they were instantly annihilated by an incredibly terrifying force.

"Is the danger the master of this inheritance?"

"But what is their purpose in doing this?"

At this moment, Yang Wanli still couldn't figure out what the other party wanted.

Those powerful individuals who remained in the secret chamber had their eyes shining brightly, unaware that their secrets had just been discovered by the other party.

"If any of you pass the final test and perform the best, then you will be qualified to receive my inheritance."

"This test is not dangerous and can be considered a reward for you. The third test will bring you endless benefits."

"The third test is playing chess."

"Use heaven and earth as the chessboard, and all paths as the chess pieces."
