Chapter 294 The Land of Divine Testing
"Kid, we heard you've been looking for us!"
The enormous head of the Spirit Dragon looked down at Wu Heyi with an indescribable majesty in its eyes, and its voice echoed in the air like a great bell.
"Yes!"
Wu Heyi's heart was racing uncontrollably. He could clearly hear his heart pounding, and he was filled with fear.
But he still swallowed hard a few times, as if trying to force the fear down his spine, and then answered resolutely.
"I heard you did it for your friend!"
The sound of the faucet was much gentler, like a clear mountain spring flowing slowly over Wu Heyi's tense heart.
Its eyes were fixed on Wu Heyi, as if trying to probe into Wu Heyi's heart to find the answer.
"Yes!"
Wu Heyi was apprehensive. He really didn't know what the four dragon heads were thinking, but he had a strange intuition that as long as he told the truth, these seemingly powerful guys wouldn't make any rash moves.
He clenched his fists tightly, his fingers turning slightly white from the force.
"This kid is telling the truth!"
Suddenly, the spirited head spoke loudly to the back.
A flicker of doubt crossed Wu He's eyes. He looked in the direction the spiritual dragon head was pointing, but there was nothing there, just emptiness.
For some reason, he suddenly felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something, and it made a "thump".
Just then, a cheerful voice spoke up: "Since you're an honest person, then come on up!"
The voice was filled with an undeniable power.
Suddenly, Wu Heyi felt that he had completely lost control of his body. It was as if his body was being grabbed by a pair of invisible hands, and then he was enveloped by a powerful energy.
The energy was like a giant vortex, carrying him rapidly towards the dragon's head. The wind whistled past his ears, and he could barely keep his eyes open.
Two thousand years ago, in that earth-shattering battle, the Nine Emperors of Xuantian directly refined the entire Nine-Headed Dragon Soul Beast.
That battle was so intense that the sky darkened, the sun and moon disappeared, and the light of magic and soul power illuminated the entire sky.
However, due to the Nine Trials of God, he preserved the powerful soul of the Nine-Headed Dragon intact.
The Nine-Headed Dragon was once a powerful overlord with earth-shattering power, but it could only bow down and submit to the Nine Emperors of Xuantian.
The entire body of the nine-headed dragon was refined into a small island.
The island looked ordinary, yet it exuded a mysterious aura, as if it were hiding endless secrets.
The soul transformed into a nine-story pagoda, radiating a mysterious light. Each story shimmered with a different color, seemingly telling an ancient tale.
Only those who can pass through the nine-story pagoda can release the soul of the nine-headed dragon, thereby completing the Nine Trials of the Mysterious Heaven and inheriting the supreme Nine Emperor Godhood.
This is practically an impossible task, requiring immense courage and extraordinary strength.
After two thousand years of weathering, this mysterious island and the nine-story pagoda have stood there quietly, and no one has ever been able to set foot on the island to begin their challenge.
Over the course of two thousand years, the soul of the nine-headed dragon grew stronger in solitude, like a seed growing silently. Eventually, it was able to directly reconstruct its original body using its immense soul power.
Although it takes 500 years to build a head, the feeling of having a body is definitely better than the state of a soul. That physical feeling gives it the illusion of returning to its original powerful state.
After acquiring a physical body, the Nine-Headed Dragons, as examiners for the inheritance of divine positions, established a basic test beyond the Nine Tests—honesty—regardless of whether anyone would actually come to initiate the test.
In their view, honesty is the foundation of all qualities. Only those who possess honesty can pass the lie detector they set up, and only those who are recognized by them can truly enter the realm of divine testing.
Wu Heyi ended up in front of a giant, colorful pagoda without even realizing it.
The pagoda soared into the clouds, each level adorned with exquisite patterns and radiating a mesmerizing glow, like a structure from a fairyland.
However, when he turned around, four lifelike dragon heads were staring at him with eight eyes, which were like eight bright lamps.
Behind them were five heads that appeared and disappeared intermittently, their shapes vague and indistinct, like an unstable electrical circuit, sometimes visible and sometimes not, exuding a strange sense of mystery.
"Kid, we know what you want."
The spirit dragon head spoke, a barely perceptible smile seemingly playing at the corners of its mouth.
"As long as you pass the test of the Divine Tower, you will not only obtain our soul rings and soul bones, but also a divine position!"
Wu Heyi never expected that he would come to such a magical and unknown place of divine trials.
He was like a child who had stumbled into a mysterious garden, his heart filled with surprise and curiosity.
"Seniors, may I ask a question?"
A question suddenly popped into Wu Heyi's mind, and it lingered in his mind for a long time.
He felt it was best to ask questions first, otherwise a momentary lapse in judgment could lead to his death, and he didn't want to lose his life due to a moment of recklessness.
"Honest person, speak up!"
A solemn voice spoke, conveying a sense of respect for Wu Heyi's honesty.
"What will happen to me if I fail to pass the entire divine test after starting it?"
Wu Heyi still cherished his life very much. He stared straight ahead, waiting for the answer.
"Human, you don't need to worry. The Divine Tower of the Nine Trials of Xuantian will give you the most needed reward after you pass each level. You can go as high as you can. If you can't pass, it means you are not destined to be one of the Nine Emperors of Xuantian. Everyone can only challenge it once in their lifetime!"
This answer was like a reassurance, easing Wu Heyi's initial tension.
Upon hearing this reply, Wu Heyi smiled calmly.
"Isn't this just a place where you can exploit bugs for free?!"
He seemed to be joking, but he was actually encouraging himself.
"If I fail the assessment, can I bring someone else to take the assessment in the future?"
Wu Heyi asked, thinking to himself that if he couldn't do it, perhaps some of his friends could.
"Yes, anyone, even a soul beast, can participate in the Nine Trials of the Mysterious Heaven as long as they pass our test of honesty!"
Having received a reply from the Nine-Headed Dragon, most of Wu Heyi's questions were answered.
He felt as if he had discovered a major secret, and a sense of excitement welled up inside him.
"In that case, let me scout ahead for my friends!"
A faint smile appeared on Wu Heyi's lips, a smile full of determination and fearlessness.
