Chapter 539: Bewitchment
Chen Qing asked, "Those who failed to pass the second trial are permanently trapped in the Ten Thousand Pill Floating Sea. Does that mean those who fail this third trial are also permanently trapped inside the stone chambers?"
"That is correct," the Xuanmo Buddha Sovereign's voice drifted down, carrying not a single ripple of emotion.
Chen Qing's brows locked tightly together.
Failing one trial and being permanently trapped, this was not a test of inheritance at all. It was drawing a cage on the ground. What purpose did the prohibition serve in detaining those who failed?
To refine them into black-furred monsters?
The thought crashed into his mind like a bolt of lightning, and Chen Qing's heart turned abruptly cold.
From the moment he had stepped into the core of these ruins, something had been wrong at every turn.
The name of the Danfo Kingdom, the Xuanmo Buddha Sovereign's breezy dismissal of Danxuan's betrayal of the Dao, that Buddhist seal, and these so-called trials that filtered cultivators' souls and physical bodies one by one, this was not a transmission of a method at all. It was plainly a process of selecting a perfect vessel for possession!
"If you don't dare go in, giving up early is also a fine choice. Better than throwing your life away for nothing."
