Chapter 149: Reflection Hall, Breaking Through at the Speed of Light!
Reflection Hall.
It was more like a tower than a hall.
Different from the pitch-black and murderous aura of the War God Hall, this place was filled with a sacred and peaceful aura.
Step by step, they ascended to the heavens.
Everyone pushed the door open and entered.
What greeted his eyes was a middle-aged man wearing an ancient beast robe with his eyes closed.
Behind him, the space on the tower was wide and empty. The walls were engraved with all kinds of strange civilization patterns. Some of them were ancient instruments, and a group of people was performing in the magnificent city. Some were cultivators performing breathing exercises, their auras shaking the mountains and rivers, their bodies encompassing the universe. Some were reciting poems, their words gorgeous, and their eyes smooth.
Other than that, there were only ten meditation cushions and a circle filled with white light at the center.
“Is this the Reflection Hall?”
“Oh my god, who is that guy! Why does he look like a human!”
“Is he dead? There was no sound of breathing, and there was no warmth on his body. It was cold!”
“I’ll try. God, really. There’s no heartbeat or breathing, but his skin feels so supple…”
As soon as they entered, Zhang Liang, Li Yitong, Xun Xinyi, and the others turned their attention to the man in the middle of the entrance.
In any case, no one was fighting with them for it now. All of them were pointing fingers at him, making Lin Ye speechless.
The ignorant were fearless.
If it were him, he would never touch the man unless he understood his situation.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop them, there was a buzz. The space seemed to tremble under some kind of magical wave. The humans surrounding the mysterious man were pushed back by a gentle force and landed at the entrance of the Reflection Hall.
The next moment, the mysterious man opened his eyes.
There was no special effect like what he had imagined, nor was there any dazzling fireworks.
He was like an ordinary middle-aged man, but something felt off, especially when his eyes met his.
It was a pair of mesmerizing eyes that were as deep as the sea of stars.
The whites of his eyes were bright.
Although he was only slightly past his prime, he gave off a feeling of someone who understood and could see through everything in the world.
Looking into his eyes made one calm down and involuntarily have a good impression of him.
Lin Ye blinked.
This was… the examiner?
“Is it a new season again? How tragic. Another bunch of unlucky fellas!”
After a moment, the person muttered.
It sounded like a question for himself which he answered himself.
“Sir, are you human?” Bai Yitong adjusted his glasses and asked curiously.
“Well, I guess.”
The mysterious man spoke. His face was stiff as if he had not smiled in a long time. He forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
He continued, “Everyone, I am a clone of guardian 001 of the Reflection Hall. I was once considered one of your kind, but don’t try to bribe me. I have my own duty and must be responsible for the Sacred Hall. It’s getting late. The Reflection Hall has a total of ten levels to be cleared. Each level is limited to six minutes. If you pass, you proceed to the next level. If you fail, you may leave.”
“Including my talking, you’ve already wasted a minute. Are you sure you want to start the trial now?”
As soon as he said that, Bai Yitong and the others exploded.
“Start, start it!!!”
“You were one of us once before. Why didn’t you tell us in advance? You’re… too evil!!”
Lin Ye watched with interest. The lack of a warning from Hint meant that this place was safe.
However, he still did not understand the contents of the trial.
Before this, he had asked Tru and the others, but no one dared to answer. Perhaps no one knew at all.
Now that he could see it with his own eyes, he was looking forward to it.
According to hint, this was a place that could greatly increase experience points of 100xReward.
“Everyone, please sit on the mats. The contents of the trial will automatically appear in everyone’s minds!”
Guardian 001 smiled elegantly. He was improving rapidly.
At this moment, he could already easily control his facial muscles and speak comfortable words according to the tone of Lin Ye and the others like a chef’s kiss.
“My lord, please take the first one!”
Zhang Liang quickly ran into the circle of light and shouted as he grabbed the first and second prayer mats.
“Thanks.”
Lin Ye nodded with a smile and walked over.
Just now, he was still using the white light spots that surrounded him in his Heart’s Web.
However, even though his talent had leveled up, he could not see clearly.
The structure of this white energy was mysterious. It felt like both its energy level or the inner wave motions…
were far superior to battle aura and elemental energy.
Amazing thing.
In the end, he praised inwardly and gave up on studying it.
After the lord sat down, the others also quickly sat down.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the circle of light at the center suddenly burst with gentle light, enveloping all the people sitting on the cushions.
“Oh, so comfortable!”
“It feels like I’ve returned to my mother’s arms. I’m crying!”
“Ah, it’s soft and warm. I want to swim in it…”
“!!!”
What kind of words were those? Lin Ye had goosebumps when he heard them.
At this moment, a notification sounded.
“Friendly Hint: The Sacred Temple Trial has already begun. Focus on your meditation to gain enlightenment! Passing criteria: Absorb 100 strands of divine item energy. The higher your comprehension, the faster you can absorb them.”
“F*ck, awesome!!”
Lin Ye’s eyes lit up as he cursed.
Those who did not know would most likely have to stay in the holy light for a long time. Unknowingly, they would miss the time when their enlightenment struck.
Fortunately, he had Hint. He was glad.
He glanced at Zhang Liang from the corner of his eye and used his mind to possess him.
“Little Liang, did your Hint give you a notification just now?”
“No, it didn’t.”
Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Liang’s eyes cleared up. As he answered in his heart, he looked at the holy light above him in shock.
Unknowingly, he had fallen for it. Without the lord’s reminder, he would have wasted a lot of time.
Thinking of that, he could not help but feel a lingering fear.
“No?” Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, understanding the situation.
Perhaps it was because his talent’s level was not high enough.
Otherwise, Zhang Liang should’ve also heard the notification since they shared the same talent.
Obviously, the authority of this first level was lower than his Hint which was Level 2.
In that case…
His eyes shone brightly, and he immediately sent his thoughts to the other eight people in the hall, awakening them from their daze.
“What’s the situation?”
Xun Mingyuan, Bai Yitong, and Li Xinyi looked at each other in shock.
Lin Ye snorted coldly and said, “Concentrate! Feel the holy light and you will receive a hint!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn’t say anything else and hurriedly sent a message to his loyalists through his mind.
This was exclusive information. The sooner they woke up, the better their chances would be.
“Argh!”
At the same time, 001 was speechless.
He said in surprise, “Top-tier talent? And he advanced it to Level 2 too? Are the children of this generation all so strong?”
Moments later, just as the red lightning was about to strike down from above,
He quickly snapped his fingers.
Bang—
Suddenly, an invisible wave landed on Lin Ye’s head.
“Hm?”
Lin Ye’s eyes widened. He suddenly realized that his mind possession had been forcefully severed.
He looked up and saw the half-smile in Guardian 001’s eyes.
He instantly understood. F*ck, he had been discovered.
“What are you so smug about? In a few seconds, I’ve already notified hundreds of people. What a great move!”
Lin Ye pouted. Since he could no longer cheat, he devoted himself to comprehending the Sacred Light.
Whoosh—
After signing hundreds and thousands of people, his current comprehension was not weak.
Soon, he got into mode.
Enlightenment Energy+1, Enlightenment Energy+1, Enlightenment Energy+1…
100xReward.
Enlightenment Energy+100, Enlightenment Energy+100, Enlightenment Energy+100…
Almost instantly, the hall on the first floor of the Reflection Hall released nine-colored clouds and divine light that filled the hall.
“What?!!!”
Guardian 001’s calm expression changed for the second time.
One second? It was broken in a single second??
