Great Tyrannical Deity - Chapter 20
Shi Li and the elders went into a hidden place within the sect. The place was locked by a metal gate with 5 keyholes.
5 elders then grabbed keys and inserted it into the keyholes. The gate then slowly moved downward, revealing a hallway that was hundreds of meters long.
All of them walked inside, including Shi Li. Once all of them entered the hallway, the gate behind them rose and closed all means of exit.
Shi Li gulped, “Can we exit from here?”
An elder replied, “Of course we can. We have control over the gates. We’re just making sure nobody sees this.”
Shi Li nodded and they continued to walk.
…
“Do you have any clue as to where Shi Li is?” A voice asked. This voice was transmitted through a voice transmission crystal.
“I figured out where he is right now. He has entered some sort of secret hallway. I’ll be waiting for them after they get out.” The one holding the crystal replied.
“Are the Dizui cultivators there already?” The voice asked again.
“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen. We’ll make sure that it becomes successful.” The one holding the crystal replied.
“Alright. I trust you, my child.”
“I won’t let you down, Father.”
…
At the end of the hallway, a relic is placed on a pedestal. It was pitch black in color and had mysterious seals all over it.
“What’s this?” Shi Li asked.
“It’s the inheritance.” One of the elders answered.
“What do I do with it? Do I comprehend the seals or…?” Shi Li was confused.
“Just touch and you’ll see.” Elder Li said calmly.
Shi Li nodded and slowly touched the relic.
‘Would you like to enter the Heavenly Fist Trials?
[Yes/No]
Note: Cultivation level must be at Dizui realm or lower. Difficulty is dependent on the cultivator’s combat strength.’
He then removed his hand from the relic and asked, “What’s the Heavenly Fist Trials?”
Elder Li replied, “It’s the trial you need to pass through to obtain the sect leader’s inheritance. Just accept it.”
Shi Li agreed to enter the trial and instantly, a pathway appeared in the hallway they were in with a sign above it, ‘Heavenly Fist Trials.’
The pathway was extremely dark, the floor was made of a dark material. There were no walls whatsoever. Only boundless space.
“Here I go.” Shi Li muttered. He entered the pathway and disappeared in front of the elder’s eyes.
“As long as he inherits it, we will rise back to glory.” Elder Li clenched his fist.
…
Within the pathway.
The hallway behind Shi Li was removed so Shi Li had no choice but to walk forward.
After walking for a few minutes, Shi Li thought to himself, ‘When will the test start?’
When he was almost getting tired from walking, a voice resounded within Shi Li’s mind. “Welcome to the Heavenly Fist Trials. I am the supervisor of the test, you can call me Li Zhuangyan.”
The voice continued, “There are a total of four tests waiting for you. And I am glad to say, you have passed the first test.”
Shi Li was shocked, “The first test is already over? What were the contents?”
The voice replied, “You have passed through what the master says, the [Infinite Void Walkway]. One cannot stop walking within the walkway as it is infinite. Most people would already stop walking after a few minutes. But you, you resolutely wanted to start the test so you had no choice but to walk further and further till your legs give out.”
It continued, “All in all, the first test is all about determination. You passed it.”
Shi Li was confused. ‘I passed the first test so easily? I should be more careful since it is still an inheritance.’ He thought to himself.
The voice muttered inwardly, ‘He has caution. Good trait. Hopefully he becomes the inheritor of master’s wishes.’
The voice then said, “Now onto the second test.”
