Chapter 1190 - 929: Lost Divine Hall and Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog
The ghost ship silently pierced through the darkness, Jiang Yuan could clearly see the marks of battle on the "canyon" on either side.
"Woof woof, I thought it was a mountain just now, turns out it was some unknown wreckage blasted into the ground!" Ling Di leaned over the side of the ship and looked down, whispering, "Master, many of these canyons are filled with fallen wreckage, they look dark, as if they are the remains of something burned by a great fire."
The system didn’t provide more detailed analysis, so he casually replied, "Actually, none of the canyons are real mountains or rocks; they are remnants of war. We are crossing a ruined city piled up with debris."
Ling Di was shocked to find out that those massive silhouettes in the distance were not buildings, but merely wreckage piled up in similar shapes.
No wonder it’s called the Bluefield Domain Ruins, it really lives up to its name!
After flying over the "canyon" and skimming across the ruined "city", the ghost ship seemed attracted by something, confidently following a rugged route.
Finally, the continuous black silhouettes in sight began to change.
At first, there seemed to be a faint light in the distance, and as the ghost ship approached, the light didn’t grow stronger, but got larger, like a glowing bowl upside down on the ground.
"Is that the Divine Hall?!" Ling Di looked eagerly, thinking that if he could fly higher, the scene must be breathtaking—the originally gigantic ghost ship was dwarfed like a toy boat.
The little puppy on the ship’s edge seemed as tiny as dust.
[Side Quest: Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog]
[Task 7: Insert a piece of Immortal Jade into the helm to activate the ghost ship and head towards the Lost Divine Hall, completed. Reward: Key to the Lost Divine Hall +1 issued]
[Task 8: Use the Key to open and enter the Lost Divine Hall, urging the contract pet Ling Di to complete the third trial. Reward: Waist badge fragment of the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog +1]
"Creak creak~"
The ghost ship emitted ancient, heavy creaking sounds from the wood, slowly docking on a section of white jade steps in front of the light.
"Let’s go, this is the third trial you need to complete." Jiang Yuan flew down the ship, encouragingly, "We’ve reached the Lost Divine Hall, victory is not far away."
Old Dog was excited, panting heavily at his feet, trying to relieve the nervousness.
With the master’s command, as long as I proceed steadily and continue striving, becoming the next Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog will be my achievement, haha!
He couldn’t help but laugh heartily in his mind, taking a few deep breaths to calm down, constantly reminding himself to be cautious, to absolutely not get carried away, and to seize this great opportunity steadily!
"Creak creak~"
The ghost ship completed its mission, slowly turning around to return along the original route.
Seeing this, Ling Di was puzzled, "Master, why did it leave? How are we going to return later?"
"Go forward, there shouldn’t be a need to go back." Jiang Yuan thought that since they had reached the Divine Hall, the trial should be nearly over. Perhaps after clearing it, they could establish a teleportation array, or simply take the Bluefield Domain Ruins as a dungeon, so there would be no need to go back.
Taking out the newly obtained Key from the Storage Bag, he easily unlocked the Seal of the Divine Hall.
[Welcome to the Lost Divine Hall Trial]
[Game Rules......]
......
The rules are not much different, but this time there is no option to change costumes to help suppress, and whether they can fight from the first courtyard to the gate of the Divine Hall depends entirely on Ling Di himself.
"This time, I can’t help you, but there will be a Safe House in each courtyard where you can rest and hide; you have to find it yourself. Once you pass this trial and obtain the waist badge, you will see the remnant soul of the previous Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog and gain true inheritance..." After briefly explaining the game rules, he encouraged the contract pet, "I believe you can do it!"
"Don’t worry, Master, watch me perform!" Old Dog was full of confidence, then rolled on the ground revealing his original form—a sturdy, pure white whippet.
As he executed the Cultivation Technique, his sleek body was suddenly enveloped in a milky white glowing light.
The Lost Divine Hall was filled with remnant souls of the Outer Heaven Demon’s avatars, all appearing as tall and robust black shadows clad in what seemed like armor, wielding long spears, swords, and other weapons, visibly stronger than those in the previous two trials.
Fortunately, Ling Di was not easily defeated. After so long of focused enhancement, he had developed combat techniques using only the Purification Technique.
Jiang Yuan was not recognized by the system as a trial challenger, so those shadows passed by him as if they couldn’t see him, completely ignoring him.
He simply followed along, watching, occasionally using the Memory Stone to record videos.
Starting from the first level of the Lost Divine Hall, Ling Di was clearly struggling, but fortunately, there was a Safe House where he could temporarily hide and rest. As he fought monsters and searched for the Safe House, whenever he felt overwhelmed, he quickly hid inside, absorbing Immortal Jade to replenish Spiritual Power, taking an Elixir to restore health and Mana Bar, or calming himself to focus.
The instance difficulty was high, but killing a single monster gave correspondingly high experience, yielding high rewards for high efforts.
In just half an hour, the Purification glow on Ling Di was noticeably more solid and pure white than when he first entered the instance.
Time flowed by in relentless battle and fighting.
Apart from barely surviving an attack by the third boss when Jiang Yuan was allowed to use Ice Flame to block a fatal strike for Ling Di, he very commendably needed no further help throughout.
This led to almost perfect scoring for Ling Di upon trial completion, resulting in a corresponding boost in Purification Ability!
