Trial

He asked, "What should I do if I can't break through?"

Then I won't break through.

Great Lord Tang had a carefree attitude. He had heard from time to time that after Elaine broke through to the Divine Domain Realm, his combat strength had increased by leaps and bounds. He had made significant progress in almost every single city.

slightly sore liver.

As expected, the liver Emperor was no match for the king.

Tang Yu could only comprehend the laws while dealing with the miscellaneous items in his territory. He hoped that one day would be enough for him to 'have an epiphany'.

Just as he was lost in thought while signing, he was suddenly stunned.

The next document that needed him to deal with was a request for leave.

Signature: Zhu Shuli.

"Uh..."

Tang Yu did not know what this Zhu shuli was up to.

He found Zhushu Li and asked, "Did you write this?"

"Hmm squeak."

"No, you seem to be on vacation all year round, right?"

After careful calculation, apart from being a special-class instructor at the Dojo of Limits, an elder at the great Dao Sect, and an illusion advisor in the legion, Zhu Shuli did not have any other duties.

She also did not have a fixed working time, and from time to time, she would use the banner of 'exploration', 'open new map', and slip away to somewhere unknown.

Where did you come from?

Uh-huh!

Tang Yu's eyes gradually became dangerous.

Zhu Shuli did not notice it at all. He just bumped his fingers together and looked a little awkward. "Because this secondary place is a little far away, squeak."

She said, "I also want to break through, but I don't have the slightest idea. So, I want to go back to the clan. It just so happens that I was summoned by the ancestral land some time ago."

After a long while, Tang Yu finally understood what Zhu Shuli was talking about.

Their Bamboo Rat Clan had a mysterious ancestral land. According to legend, outstanding Bamboo Rats could be summoned by the ancestral land. As long as they responded to the summoning, they could enter the mysterious ancestral land. The Bamboo Rat Spirits that were tested through the ancestral land could have a very obvious improvement in their combat strength, cultivation level, and other aspects.

Zhu Shuli wanted to use the ancestral land's trial to help him break through to the third level of the exceptional state.

——She is different from Fanny and others. Fanny and Winnie are not too far away from the entry of the law, and the bottleneck of the third-order Transcendent can also be seen.

As for Zhu Shuli, he had only barely touched upon a law, and it wasn't very compatible with their Bamboo Rat Clan.

Zhu Shuli still had a long way to go before he could break through.

Only then did he come up with the idea of going through the trial in the ancestral land.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Shuli, who had always been uninterested in cultivation, also wanted to work hard one day.

Tang Yu was quite pleased.

They are all lords themselves, and they are well taught.

"Is there any danger in the ancestral land of your Bamboo Rats?"

"No, no,"

"I heard from the elders of our clan that the ancestral land was set up by the elders of the Bamboo Rat Clan. The most they could do was fail, but they wouldn't be in danger," Zhu Shuli said.

"However, the length of time is uncertain. They might be able to pass the trial in a few months or several years."

Zhu Shuli was worried about the time.

It had only been a few years since he had come to Tree Shade, and if he had to stay in the ancestral land for five or six or seven or eight years, then wouldn't he... have to gnaw on bamboo for seven or eight years?

What a miserable whine 

But he didn't want to become a crippled rat.

"Alright." Tang Yu waved his hand and approved.

Zhu Shuli: "???"

Why don't you comfort yourself?

Smelly lord!

"Oh, that's right." Tang Yu suddenly thought of a key point.

Zhu Shuli's eyes lit up. As long as he prepared snacks and ingredients that he could eat for several years, he would forgive him.

I forgive you squeak.

"You said that you just received a summons from the ancestral land a while ago. Is your ancestral land so demanding?"

Not long ago, even two or three years ago, Zhu Shuli was already at the Second Order of the exceptional state.

Zhu Shuli was only in his early twenties... Oh, so Zhu Shuli was almost at the Third Order.

Regardless of whether it was First Order or Second Order, Zhu Shuli was definitely a genius at his age. It was the same on Origin Star back then.

Could it be that the Bamboo Rats Race was actually a hidden race of the Endless World?

They didn't have any reputation on the surface, but they were actually a terrifying force that could compete with the Devil Race?

After all, the summoning of the Ancestral Land was already extraordinary!

Zhushu Li was stunned.

Zhushu Li was angry.

Zhushu Li didn't want to speak and threw a Vegetation Spirit at you.

Tang Yu: "???"

A moment later, Tang Yu, who was using all his strength, finally lowered Zhushu Li's anger.

The price was some of his precious delicacies, wine, and limited edition cards.

"The ancestral land is so far away from Earth that it might be located in another plane. Isn't it normal for the summoning signal to be delayed? Hmph, stupid lord!"

Zhu Shuli's words were very reasonable, and Tang Yu was speechless.

After looting Tree Shade City, Dao City, and many large restaurants on Planet Blue, and having ten storage rings as big as a football field, Zhu Shuli reluctantly turned around and looked at the food that could not be put into the space ring. He gritted his teeth and accepted the summoning of the ancestral land.

...

In an unknown, mysterious place.

There was no distinction between day and night here. The ancient river of stars hung upside down in the sky, emitting wisps of faint light.

Zhu Shuli was wrapped in a mysterious power. After an unknown amount of time, he finally stepped on the ground and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Teleportation is a bit dizzy, poor skill review!"

Zhushu Li slowed down and looked around.

The river of stars emitted a glimmer of light, a small path leading to the top of the mountain, with many crisp and delicious bamboo growing on both sides.

Zhushu Li recognized that this was a precious ingredient - Jade Bamboo. In the past, she could only take a few bites of Jade Bamboo during festivals and other times, but now, at the foot of the ancestral land, Jade Bamboo was in large patches, emitting a delicate fragrance.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, the bamboo mouse also smelled the fragrance of a higher level bamboo.

Her nose twitched, but she felt that it was tasteless.

After tasting Earth's delicious food, the bamboo mouse was no longer interested in eating dry bamboo.

At least it had to be braised bamboo, spicy stir-fried bamboo, fish head bamboo bamboo shoot soup, and so on.

At this time,

Zhushu Li noticed that not far from her, there was still a ground full of... Bamboo Rat Spirits.

Both of them had the same figure as her. Two ears poked out from the tips of their hair. Zhushu Li was filled with tears. She finally saw his fellow villagers. She was finally not the shortest.

"Wu ---"

Gradually, the unconscious Bamboo Rat Spirit woke up, and in a daze, climbed up from the cold but not shaking ground and looked around.

Soon, the foot of the mountain was full of "squeaking" sounds.

"Hey, you are, Xiaoxiao Li?"

Zhushu Li was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was calling herself—who would call her that in the Tree shade!

Her voice sounded a little familiar.

She turned her head, and the face in front of her gradually coincided with the face in her mind. "You are... Cousin Xiao Qin."

The Bamboo Rat Clan did not have a surname, and the elders used a single word + title. The younger generation added the word "Xiao" in front of the name. If it was an underage Bamboo Rat, it would add "Xiao".

Zhushu Li straightened her face, "I am an adult! And my name is Zhu... Cough, my name is Tang Xiaozhi!"

"Squeak?"

Zhushu Qin and Zhushu Li used to live in the same group of Zhushu mice.

The population was over ten thousand, but Zhushu Li, who was still young, had never walked out of the bamboo forest until he was turned to the distant Earth.

She disappeared for several years.

"Where did you go? Did you find something fun? Squeak?"

There was no worry in Zhu Shu Li's tone, only curiosity.

She also talked about the changes in the ethnic group over the years... but there was no change... The bamboo rats were pure and had no natural enemies. They lived in a place like a paradise. It was common for the bamboo rats to lose and come back in a few years.

After a few years, she saw Zhu Shu Li again. Zhu Shu Qin believed in the teachings of her elders and chatted for a long time.

She was the same as the others.

Most of them didn't know but they were curious about the life of their race. After all, the ancestral land was the ancestral land of the Bamboo Rats of the Endless World.

For a moment, there were no Bamboo Rats walking up the mountain, as if they didn't care about the trial.

"Oh, right, this is the ancestral land of the trial!"

"So the Ancestral Land is like this. It's no different from my hometown."

"Where is the trial? Is there an experienced senior?"

It was common knowledge that among a bunch of newcomers, there would often be a veteran.

A slightly mature rodent walked out.

This was a Void Treading Bamboo Rat Spirit. This was the second time she had been summoned by the Ancestral Land.

"The Ancestral Land is divided into many types of trials. Some are Origin Energy trials, while others are illusory arts trials. There is no danger in the trials, but once you fail, you will be sent out of the Ancestral Land and return to your original place."

"If you pass the trial, the Ancestral Land will give you corresponding rewards, such as Origin Energy trials. After passing the trial, the reward may be Origin Energy growth. If one of you is currently at the great circle of the awakened realm and is accumulating Origin Energy, the reward of the Ancestral Land can help you shorten the time."

"After passing the trial, you will be able to enter the next stage."

"Therefore, everyone should have some confidence in themselves. If they weren't eliminated in the first stage, there would be more or less some rewards."

Bamboo Rat Spirits: ""... "

The bamboo at the foot of the mountain was very delicious, but perhaps because of the ancestral land, all the Bamboo Rat Spirits thought that the bamboo was dedicated to their ancestors, and no one dared to pull it out and gnaw on it.

They went up along the winding path, all the way to the mountainside, and a huge stone tablet blocked the road.

An ancient bamboo script slowly appeared on the stone tablet.

"Young descendant of the Bamboo Rat Clan, are you going to choose the Origin Energy Trial on the left or the Inner Body Trial on the right?"

The words 'Basic-level Trial' appeared right above her.

The slightly mature Bamboo Rat Spirit took the lead and stepped forward. She pressed her palm on the Origin Energy Trial on the left and a pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping her.

After a few minutes, the pillar of light dissipated, and a white circle of light appeared under the feet of the now slightly mature bamboo mouse, representing that she had passed a test.

"The Origin Power Test is a type of tempering. You need to mobilize all the Origin Power in your body to resist the pressure in the trial..."

So!

A bamboo mouse nodded.

More and more people walked forward, choosing the items they wanted to train in.

Most of them chose to train in Origin Energy, while some chose to train in the physical body.

There were also many Bamboo Rat Spirits who were calm and collected, treating the ancestral land as a tourist, standing on their toes and looking around.

It was worth mentioning that the mountain was also filled with verdant bamboo forests.

One after another, bamboo rats passed the test, and the same white halo appeared under their feet.

At this time,

A pillar of light suddenly vibrated and then shattered with a bang, revealing a depressed little face inside.

"If I had known earlier, I would have chosen the Inner Body Trial -"

An invisible force descended and enveloped the body of the Bamboo Rat Spirit that had failed the trial. In the next moment, her figure disappeared without a trace.

Only a group of excited Bamboo Rat Spirits remained.

"Someone has failed, squeak!"

"So the failure of the trial was the shock of the light pillar!"

Zhu Shuli suddenly felt that her fellow clan members were very unreliable. As expected, she was already a bamboo mouse that had broken away from its evil taste.

Zhu Shuqin, who came from the same clan as her, also stepped forward. Many of the Bamboo Rat Spirits who had passed the first trial passed through the huge stone tablet that blocked their way and continued to go up.

Zhu Shuli was still deep in thought.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around her, she stopped dawdling and walked forward. She stretched out her left hand and right hand, pressing on the left and right sides of the stone tablet respectively.

Beep, beep, beep -

There was no response from the stone tablet. Zhu Shuli kicked it. "Is it broken? Has it expired?"

The huge stone tablet: "...."

She reluctantly retracted her hand, and finally a pillar of light enveloped her.

A strange pressure was applied to her body, and the Origin Energy in her body seemed to slow down.

Zhu Shuli curled her lips. "Isn't it just suppressing the domain and only suppressing the Origin Energy?"

Just as she was about to circulate her Origin Energy to resist this pressure, the pillar of light suddenly shrank back and disappeared. Only a white halo appeared beneath her feet, proving that she had successfully passed the trial.

Zhu Shul::"⊙(?◇?)?"

What happened!

Don't go so fast and squeak!

Zhu Shuli couldn't hold back the pillar of light and reached out to press the' Inner Body 'trial on the right, but there was no reaction.

She expressed her disappointment, "Where's the source energy? Didn't we agree on the increase in source energy? Liar!"

Zhu Shuli, who had an increase of around 0.1% of the source energy limit, walked past the stone tablet of the first stage and continued to walk up the mountain.

The second stage tested the usage of spiritual energy, and there was only one option.

When Zhushu Li arrived, many bamboo rat spirits were in a state of trial.

She pressed the button and a pillar of light enveloped the area. In front of Zhu Shuli was a mental strength puzzle that needed to be meticulously solved with mental strength.

This test took a lot more time. Zhu Shuli felt that he could finally experience the trial.

Thus,

Her mental strength extended upwards.

The puzzle disappeared.

Beep. Trial passed.

Zhushu Li: "???"

Another gift of power fell, increasing her mental strength by about 1%.

She curled her lips and continued to walk up.

At the third level, there were even fewer Bamboo Mouse Spirits in front of the huge stone tablet. Qin, who had left first, had also arrived at the third level.

When she saw Bamboo Mouse Li, she was obviously very surprised. "Didn't you just awaken to the seventh and eighth level a few years ago? Could it be that you have already..."

Qin was much older than Li and was already beyond the mortal level.

She was the most outstanding member of this batch of Bamboo Rat Spirits.

Her speed was second only to the senior Bamboo Rat Spirit who had obtained the qualification for the second trial.

Zhushu Li let out a "huh" sound and was very proud. She looked at the engravings on the huge stone tablet. The theme of this trial was illusion. There was illusion use, illusion resistance, illusion environment construction, and so on. It was a multiple-choice question.

Zhushu Li reached out his hand and pressed down all the trial options from left to right at an extremely fast speed.
