C2764 He Easily Passed

Old Man Chen was essentially a master alchemist, and the only person who could pass his examination to become his apprentice was a master alchemist. Those who weren't master alchemists would only participate in the examination in order to get acquainted with powerful experts.

If it weren't for the fact that Old Man Chen had claimed that he would take in an apprentice, he would actually be looking for the culprit... If he wasn't an alchemist, he wouldn't even be able to enter the examination mystic realm.

...

Within the mystic realm of the maze.

On the surface of the maze, the walls were made of white jade stones... Jiang Ting had never seen the exact type of white jade before. After all, it was the jade of the Sky-sea Realm.

The walls were neither tall nor low. They were about thirty meters tall.

As soon as he entered the maze, Jiang Ting could clearly feel a suppressive force. Within the maze, the restriction of air was the most basic. Moreover, he didn't need to jump to find out that no matter how strong his body was, he could only jump up half a meter.

If he wanted to jump more than half a zhang, he would be suppressed by the formation.

In addition, the height of the wall was around ten zhang. ... It was impossible for one to jump to the edge of the wall and observe the terrains of the maze.

Most importantly, only after entering the maze would he discover that the maze was filled with a thin layer of white mist. The white mist had the effect of restricting the telepathic thoughts and isolating them.

"Interesting."

He tilted his head slightly and looked at the white mist and jade. "As expected of the assessment for the disciple of the most powerful."

Although the essence of the Dust Old Man's test was not to take in disciples, if there were really people with monstrous talent who could pass the test, such as Xiahou Ning, the Dust Old Man would definitely take in disciples.

How big was this maze?

Jiang Ting was not in a hurry to find the way. Instead, he quietly observed the interval between the corridors. There was no need to measure it. Just by looking at it, the distance between the corridors was about three meters. It was very wide.

He thought about the maze map he had seen in the outside world. Although the map was useless, it allowed him to deduce how many corridors there were.

After thinking for three seconds, Jiang Ting's mouth twitched. "Over a hundred miles... I have sealed my divine sense and cannot fly. My sense of direction is also blocked. The maze will change frequently. A square hundred miles maze..."

It was very difficult to get out of this maze!

If he remembered correctly, after the maze's terrain appeared, there were about thirty-five thousand horizontal and vertical passages. Even if there were, there wouldn't be much of a difference.

How the f * ck was he going to get out?

The exit and entrance wouldn't change, but the corridors and walls of the maze were constantly changing... With such a large area, unless he had the assistance of his spiritual will, If not, no one would be able to get out!

Without a sense of direction, without a reference, one would not be able to distinguish between east, south, west, and north... Walking in the maze, one would not be able to determine if they were circling around!

If he could fly, he could even fly out! But he could not fly, and the surrounding scenery was blocked by the white fog. 99% of the people who entered the secret realm would probably circle around the maze continuously!

After a while.

Jiang Ting stretched his body slightly. "It seems like we don't need to do anything. This maze isn't easy to walk through."

He could already tell that, according to normal circumstances, this round was a test of divine soul power. The way to pass was to use a terrifying divine soul to forcefully remember the route one took, ignore the walls, ignore the constantly changing terrain, and forcefully deduce the direction of the maze in his mind. He walked to the edge of the maze and groped for the exit to leave.

To Jiang Ting, it was not difficult... but it was too troublesome, because he would need at least half a month to deduce the shape of his body near the edge of the maze.

He did not like trouble, so he prepared to use a simpler way to clear it.

As for whether or not he would leave a negative impression on Old Man Chen, Hmm, he did not care at all. He had never intended to acknowledge him as his master.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ting revealed a rare look of seriousness. "Block my sense of direction and seal my divine sense. ... Hehe, I'm afraid it's a bit lacking."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ting sat cross-legged on the ground. His hands continuously formed seals. His speed was so fast that his five fingers turned into phantoms. If one observed carefully, it was not hard to notice that Jiang Ting had formed at least thirty-six seals every breath!1

After ten breaths, Jiang Ting finally stopped forming seals.

Then, he bit his finger and said, "Sword Domain, rise!"

A drop of bloody light flashed. The invisible concept descended and spread in all directions.

The concept was invisible and almost no one could sense it. As the concept spread, the Yuan Qi in Jiang Ting's body began to disappear rapidly. In just three breaths of time, nearly twenty percent of the Yuan Qi in his body had been consumed!

Correspondingly, the entire maze was enveloped by his Sword Domain. Although he was still unable to use his divine sense, because of the Sword Domain, everything in the maze was in his mind.

Sword domain was a type of domain. Just like the God Realm's Divine Domain. If one did not use the Sword Dao, they would be wildly suppressed within the Sword Domain. Only the Sword Dao could be fierce, and it would also greatly increase the strength of the owner of the Sword Domain.

He had even manifested his Sword Domain, so the exit and whatnot were naturally reflected in his mind.

If his cultivation was not too low, and he could manifest his Sword Domain with just a thought, he would not have formed a seal for a full ten breaths of time, and even used blood as a catalyst!

"He passed! Heh! With a chuckle, Jiang Ting's body flashed, and fifty percent of the Yuan Qi in his body was instantly consumed.

50% of his Yuan Qi was used as a price. His body had teleported to the exit whirlpool. If not for the white fog in the maze, he would only need 30% of his Yuan Qi to teleport to the exit. Not 50%. However, it didn't matter. He had already arrived at the exit.

Then, he lifted his foot and entered the exit. His figure disappeared... Naturally, he had passed the first test.

...

Somewhere in the maze.

Xiahou Ning walked slowly in the corridor. His expression changed drastically. "What a terrifying Sword Dao aura. What is this?"

His cultivation was limited to that place, so he naturally did not understand the domain. If he was an ordinary person, he would not be able to sense the sword domain that had once spread out due to Jiang Ting's intentional concealment.

It was just that Xiahou Ning wasn't simple. In addition to the Heavenly Heart Tear Rain, he didn't know anything about domains. Even though the sword domain had lasted for a short period of time, he had still detected an extremely terrifying sword intent.

Under that Concept, he felt like a newborn baby that had just made a sound, unable to resist at all.

In a short while, Jiang Ting's appearance appeared in his mind. Although there was no evidence, in his opinion, the only person who could cultivate the Sword Dao to such a terrifying extent was probably Jiang Ting.

After all, the path of the demonic cultivators in the Void Ocean Realm was based on the strength of the fleshly body. Primordial energy and elemental energy were only used to assist in killing moves, and sabers, spears, and sticks were not important at all.

In other words, ninety percent of the people in this world had washed up and engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Their magical techniques were merely supplementary, not necessary!

"Just how strong is he, can I really defeat him..." After muttering to himself, Xiahou Ning shook his head and suppressed the shock that was about to arise in his heart. He forced himself not to think and instead continued to move forward quietly, continuously calculating the direction in his mind.

...

Somewhere in the maze palace.

A muscular man with a naked upper body stopped in his tracks. "What is this, a sword..."
