Illusion
The powerful stars illuminated the interior of Ancestral Dragon Ring.
Yang Xiao’s flames were able to utilise the maximum potential of a grain of nine heavens stardust unlike Yang Tian’s Star Pagoda.
Eight Gates Deities Detainment Killing Formation’s eight gates included: Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Death, Gate of Wonder and Gate of Opening. For the record, Gate of Life was also the Gate of Death. The eight gates were formed from eight formation diagram fragments.
The eight diagrams were coated in stardust. They would be dangerous in Li Clan’s possession.
Its excellence lied in its ability to work in various ways.
Yang Xiao wasn’t confident he could put the formation together as he never refined two divine items at once before. He compared Eight Gates Deities Detainment Killing Formation to Twelve Universe Killing Formation.
Divine Dragon Soul Sealing Ornament’s weapon spirit already entered the jade ornament. It was currently at the master acknowledgement phase. As part of it, Yang Tian had to undertake the Divine Item’s test, and it wasn’t uncommon for one to die in addition to losing their divine soul as a consequence.
The divine soul occasionally rippled. He tried to overcome the immense pressure. The excruciating torture crept in gradually over ten days. Yang Xiao worried for Yang Tian when he saw the latter’s divine soul, but Yang Tian needed to graduate from the virgin experience on his own.
Xiaobai curled up next to Yang Tian. Yang Tian silently cursed since it was tougher than Mountains and Rivers told him. He was on edge whilst attempting to heal the damage inflicted. Still, he kept discharging his divine soul energy to wrap the glowing red jade. Slowly but surely, he pushed his energy into the jade ornament. Eventually, he stepped sweating once he learnt to bear the pain.

Several days later, Yang Xiao’s location glowed gold and boomed. He had refined about half of the amber divine stone’s divine power. He performed hand seals to collect the golden mist. Every now and then, he’d perform grabs to gradually turn the golden mist into golden runes containing profound text. Said text was the ancient way of writing “kill”. Its energy coiled around small golden swords.
There was a plethora of runes in the air. The art of using runes to refine killing formations was no longer taught. Eight silver runes on the ground flashed. Each one shone nine streams of stars. They were the essence of the Eight Gates. Below their glow was a golden disc; its foundation was compatible with helianthus. The golden runes capable of manifesting countless small golden swords rained down into the disc.
On the other side of the energy barrier, Yang Tian’s tranquillity was switched for a tumultuous state again when the pain and pressure he had adapted to intensified again. His divine soul was close to death. A day later, the loneliness and rippling divine soul rendered him restless. As an analogy, he was a canoe drifting aimlessly. He felt the pain before at Fallen Devils’ Ground when he was wounded.
Xiaoqing flew circles at the perimeter and made a ruckus out of concern for Yang Tian. Xiaobai hid inside Xiaoqing’s feathers and cried out, too.
Divine Dragon Soul Sealing Ornament’ red glow expanded its radius to three hundred and thirty-three metres.
Afraid of the illusions of death presented to him in a particular realm, Yang Tian opened his eyes and fired a beam of divine energy from his eyes. If he tried any longer, he would’ve lost himself. Thinking back on it was scary because the illusion tried to trap him a second time when he fell silent for only a brief moment.
“If I can’t take the test, I need to find an alternative.” Yang Tian dove into his body and checked out Dao Sutra’s cultivation method. Under his breath, he muttered, “I’ll try to learn it.”
