26 Sense of danger from trial

He just observed the guy before deciding to enter the next stone stele space, he did not have time to chat with him. 

When he raised his head, he could see that the time they spend in this place seems to be slowly running out from the countdown in the sky, although he did not know how it was done, he was impressed by it. 

From the first time he saw it, he was curious but that is not the most important thing he should be putting his time on. He could see there were endless stone steles in the distance.

From this rumbling guy, he already heard some information especially when he tried to find out what faction Musk came from. 

On the outside, all the powerful figures were standing in the void, watching the development and so was Luo Mei, and she managed to see the appearance of Musk. The thing that made her even more confused was not his entry into the closest stone stele, instead of rushing to the peak to compete for the strongest inheritances. 

Those things were not that useful, the only reason they were deemed that way, was the fact that it was left behind by Lord level figures. The other inheritances might not have the same prestige but were probably even better. That was something she heard from her master, but she had no chance to enter this place, as for now, she had already taken her path and lost interest in it. 

What she could see was that Musk did not seem to have any kind of aura on him, he seemed to have been assimilated into the environment he was in.

Even for experts on their level, this was not that simple. In the same time some old men hidden in the void noticed it, but they did not pay much attention to it. The projection went back to the highest peak on the island, since Musk had entered the next stele. 

The moment he set foot in the stele, he found himself chained under a huge magma well, and the chains were bone deep. Every time he spends in this place was very painful and the most important thing being that the pain was only slightly above his threshold, so that he could not pass out. 

The moment he entered this place, he forgot about everything else, and the pain seemed to have taken over. His thinking was already gone in the drain, and in the period of time he was incapable of even thinking, other than howling like an animal. 

By the time he opened his eyes, he was already outside again, he still had that experience in his mind, and grit his teeth took another step into the stone stele, he did because he could feel something had been gained, though he did not know what it was.

This time the same situation but under difference circumstances, a huge cold pool, and a body could be seen chained under it, the cold was capable of freezing even his blood, but for some reason, it only went as far as to almost kill him. 

He suffered this kind of torture through different kinds of environments until he found himself lying on some wooden bed. His body seemed to be poisoned and the poison attacked his cells, destroying them. 

The moment it happened the pain from it was on another league, as it stayed at the peak during that period that the cells underwent destruction. When he thought that he was adapting to it, the poison kept evolving, and even his nerves were becoming more and more sensitive. 

The scariest thing about these tests, was that he could not quit, and as time passed by his pain tolerance seemed to be increasing slowly. By the time he got out of this stone stele, he did not even know why he had to suffer from such pain, he sat down on the floor in deep thought.

He had already realized that these other stone steles, were not all for techniques rather some were left behind to torture people. Looking at the vast number of them, part of him just wanted to go ahead and sit down waiting for the end of the trial. 

He already was aware that the number of people coming to this place were from all factions and even those without so leaving might not be an issue. 

But he did not want to give up just like that, perhaps he might regret it in the future, so he pushed himself to the next and next and next until close to two thirds of the time had been used up.

At this moment all the individuals seemed to have consumed close to 10,000 years in the stone stele space. Over this period, Musk had undergone numerous trials and some of them allowed him to make up for the aspects he lacked in. 

The same time he had gathered immense techniques and practiced them to the peak of the fourth level, his will had already achieved physical manifestation. It indicated, it had been brought to the peak, and his body could barely support it so he did not release it. 

 On the outside, the old guys were already bored and did not watch the projections any longer as the only thing that they were waiting was for some vision when someone obtained a complete inheritance in those stone steles at the very peak of the island.

Most people gave up, and ones left went back in the mid regions to try their luck hence projections were focused there since none of those that had entered the stone steles of the highest level had come out.

By the time Musk arrived at the region, his intuition warned him not to enter them and thus he could only retreat, to the very back of the island, where he initially obtained the bamboo to craft some cane used to study the Nirvana Cane. In the same way, he could tell the owner of the technique was probably not simple, bit that was not the most important issue. He was wondering why his intuition warned him about the highest peaks over and over.
