“I should remind you that many of these hundred passages contain treasure halls and are connected to other passages. They are interconnected, and many of you are likely to run into each other. This level will be even more difficult than the previous one. Also, this level is still an elimination system, and half of the immortals participating in the second trial will be eliminated before the trial ends,” Shen Linghua added.
At this point, some celestial beings whose cultivation levels were not particularly high soon chose to withdraw, because they had already relied on luck to pass the first level, and they did not think they could safely pass the second level, or perhaps they were already satisfied with the treasures they had obtained in the first level.
"I'm quitting."
"I'm quitting too."
As one immortal after another chose to withdraw, they were immediately teleported away.
Nearly half of the participants chose to withdraw from the second trial, meaning that out of 10,000 people, only a little over 5,000 remained.
These five thousand-plus people were mostly immortals whose cultivation level started at the upper-grade celestial immortal level. Of course, there was also a special group, namely Ye Liuyun and his group of one hundred. By the way, it seems that Ye Hongchen and Su Ruoyin did not participate in the Divine Treasure Trial.
Although the two of them had some luck, they were still far inferior to Ye Liuyun. For example, Ye Hongchen decisively sold her token at a high price and made a fortune.
The fact that half of the cultivators from the Immortal Realm withdrew at once made it seem even more abnormal, because there were cultivators of all different levels here, from weak Earth Immortals to strong Golden Immortals.
Ye Liuyun is currently the weakest, while Ye Qingxue is the strongest. In most people's opinion, at least half of the people behind them should have withdrawn, but they seem to have made no move at all.
"What the hell? None of these guys have quit. What's going on? Do they think they can get into the third level?" Many immortals were confused.
Not only were they confused, but the Moon Goddess, who was standing with Donghuang at this moment, was also very puzzled.
"Senior brother, something feels off about this group of people. Don't you think so? I feel like I know them. Especially those people over there, they look so alike. Could they be Ye Liuyun's relatives from the lower realm?" the Moon Goddess asked in a low voice.
After a moment of thought, Donghuang suddenly used his privilege to glance at these people, but what he saw made him look utterly astonished.
Because she can't trace the origins of any of the people here. She can only find out about what happened after they ascended to the Immortal Realm. She can't find out anything about what happened before they ascended to the Immortal Realm.
Donghuang thought her ability was malfunctioning, so she looked at the others. She then discovered that she could see the previous three lives of the others, which meant that it wasn't her ability that was the problem, but rather that these guys were the problem.
"Damn it, what are these people?" Donghuang couldn't understand.
Donghuang couldn't understand it; he really couldn't figure it out.
Soon, the second trial began.
"Ah! It's finally starting." Ye Liuyun stood up with a smile, and everyone else immediately turned their attention to him.
They had already agreed that whichever passage Ye Liuyun went through, they would go through the same passage.
Many of them lack the necessary skills, and if they act alone, they are likely to be eliminated.
However, Ye Liuyun did not choose a passage immediately. Instead, she waited until most of the others had made their choices before randomly choosing a less crowded passage and walking through it.
As soon as she walked over, the others followed her in one after another.
At present, there is definitely no problem to be seen, and the Protoss have not discovered anything unusual.
"Hehe, the second level is going to be interesting. Let's wait and see," the Protoss said with great interest.
Once inside the passage, just as Shen Linghua had said, the passage was wide open on all sides. Once everyone entered, their escape route was blocked. At the same time, a large number of treasures, like a meteor shower, shot out from all directions at the end of the passage. It was very sudden, and the light was so dazzling that everyone could not open their eyes.
"Haha, the treasure is here! This treasure is mine!" A Golden Immortal locked onto a high-grade Golden Immortal magic weapon and quickly gave chase. However, these treasures were also very agile, darting around in the passage, which meant that if anyone wanted this treasure, they would have to run around everywhere.
Then look at Ye Liuyun and his group; they stopped pretending at this point.
"Alright, that's enough. Everyone, go grab the treasures, but don't run around. Just grab the treasures that are flying towards us, and don't get separated," Ye Liuyun said in a deep voice.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ye Liuyun's command.
"Ah, finally we can talk! Brothers and sisters, let's grab the treasures!" someone shouted, and they all used their skills to grab the treasures flying towards them.
With so many people attacking at the same time, these treasures would be hard to escape their sight.
Just then, a high-ranking celestial being, chasing after a treasure he desired, arrived in front of Ye Liuyun and his companions, who immediately seized the treasure.
"You, you despicable person, why did you steal my treasure?" The superior celestial immortal was furious, but immediately, a series of murderous gazes locked onto him at the same time.
This person then discovered that there were more than a hundred immortals gathered together in this passage, and they all seemed to be in the same group.
"Oh, sorry, I was just passing by." The superior celestial being was embarrassed, so he decisively gave up on causing trouble and ran away.
Ye Liuyun and the others laughed when they saw this.
"Tch, I thought this guy was going to attack us. He figured it out pretty quickly," Ye Qingxue said with a smile.
"Let's go, see if anyone's blind and bumps into us," a young man laughed loudly.
The group continued onward, encountering many others who had run into them in their quest for the treasure. However, anyone with a modicum of sense would likely turn and walk away without bothering them, as they would immediately recognize them as a group of villains banding together.
"Huh? What's going on with this group? More than a hundred people, and they're all sticking together?" The gods of the Nine Heavens Palace finally noticed the strangeness of Ye Liuyun and his group.
"Yes, it's strange. Do these people know each other? Are they from the same immortal sect? That's impossible. Which immortal sect has the ability to send so many cultivators into the Divine Treasury Trial? And look, several of the cultivators we're watching are in this group." The Divine Race was in an uproar.
Ye Liuyun and his group marched straight in, leaving no treasure behind. They snatched everything that passed by them or that they saw, whether someone was trying to steal it or not.
Sure enough, a low-grade Golden Immortal, while chasing after a Golden Immortal-level magic weapon, ran into Ye Liuyun and his group.
Ye Qingxue suddenly summoned her Chaos Spirit Pearl and easily took the treasure.
"You're asking for death! How dare you steal my things!" The Golden Immortal was furious and immediately attacked Ye Qingxue.
But little did he know that at the very moment he made his move, Ye Liuyun and more than a hundred others simultaneously roared in anger.
"I think you're the one courting death." More than a hundred streams of immortal power erupted in the passage, instantly shattering the attack of the low-grade Golden Immortal and engulfing him in shock and bewilderment.
This scene was witnessed by many immortals, who were so frightened that they quickly moved away from Ye Liuyun and his group.
"Holy crap, there are even groups of over a hundred immortals gathered together, who can possibly beat them?" Many immortals were about to curse.
As for that unlucky Golden Immortal, he's already outside.
After he came to his senses, he couldn't help but roar to the sky.
"No, this isn't fair! How can there be groups? Damn it, is forming groups allowed in this trial?" the Golden Immortal couldn't help but question.
If he had known they were together, he would have run as far away as possible; he never even considered this possibility.
Let's take another look at Donghuang and Yueshen, who have been secretly following Ye Liuyun and the others.
"Senior brother, look! These guys really are all together!" Moon Goddess exclaimed.
Donghuang was speechless. He had suspected they were together earlier, and now it was basically confirmed that they knew each other.
Moreover, regardless of their cultivation level, Ye Liuyun was the leader, clearly indicating that Ye Liuyun was their boss.
Before long, the group from the Immortal Realm had reaped a great harvest, and even if they withdrew after reaching the third level, they would still have made a profit.
This challenge would be hellish for other immortals, but for the people of the Immortal Realm of Longevity, it was like finding treasure.
On the Protoss side, seeing their bandit-like appearance, their faces darkened.
“Your Majesty, it seems we need to change the rules for the third trial. If we don’t change them, they’ll continue to advance as a group, even if no one can defeat them,” a celestial lord suggested.
But actually, he didn't need to say anything; the Jade Emperor wasn't stupid.
They held this trial to select immortals with exceptional aptitude, not to provide treasures for Ye Liuyun and his group.
Chapter 976 The Mysterious Golden Egg
The Jade Emperor is currently unsure whether these people are together, but they believe that they have likely reached some kind of secret agreement, as they find it hard to believe that so many of them were acquaintances before; it seems a bit far-fetched.
Their divine race had held many Divine Treasure Trials, but they had never encountered so many acquaintances entering the Divine Treasure Trial together. Normally, five or six people would be considered a lot, but today's more than one hundred was unprecedented.
"Let's continue to observe. If someone secretly organized them, there's nothing we can do. Having such influence is quite an achievement," the Jade Emperor said calmly.
Some of the gods agreed with the Jade Emperor's statement. After all, their gods held the Divine Treasure Trial and did not prohibit forming teams, so it was not against the rules. In fact, Ye Liuyun and his group were not the only ones who formed teams. There were also some people who acted in groups of two or three, but compared to Ye Liuyun and his group, they were insignificant.
This challenge left Ye Liuyun and her companions with treasures galore, but Ye Liuyun herself didn't take much. She didn't really need these Celestial Immortal and Golden Immortal level treasures; she would just store them in her warehouse anyway, so she figured it was better to let her brothers take more.
She eagerly anticipates that many years later, these people will all become powerful rulers, and then she will raise her arms and rebuild the Immortal Realm of Immortality, which will likely shock the entire Immortal Realm.
"Everyone, we've given the gods a surprise attack this time. I think they must be quite speechless right now. The next level probably won't be so easy. Try to take as much as you can. If your cultivation isn't high enough, I suggest you leave after the second level," Ye Liuyun reminded them.
Ye Liuyun could tell that at least half of their group of over a hundred people would have a hard time getting past the third stage.
"Well, we'll do as you say, elder sister. We've already made a fortune, so it would be a huge loss if we failed at the third level." A few lower-grade celestial immortals and a group of mid-grade celestial immortals responded.
Ye Liuyun would definitely encourage those who had the ability to keep going, such as Ye Qingxue, Ye Fei, and Lin Aoxue.
"Liuyun, your grandfather and I are also planning to go out later." Just then, Li Muyun spoke up.
Although Li Muyun and Ye Feiwu were both top-grade celestial immortals, they felt it was better to stop before the third stage for the sake of safety.
First of all, the immortal sects they are currently in offer them good treatment, and today they acquired a Golden Immortal-level magic weapon, which will allow them to rise to prominence very quickly after returning.
"Yes, it's better to be on the safe side." Ye Liuyun had no objection.
During this time, Ye Liuyun had already told everyone her location, and that if anyone wanted to contact her in the future, they could go to Yunze Prefecture to find her.
A moment later, Ye Liuyun and his group reached the end. At this end, there was a very strong energy fluctuation. There was no need to look any further; there was definitely a great treasure inside, and it might even be the best item from the second level.
"Everyone, there's an extremely strong energy fluctuation ahead. It's estimated that there's a great treasure there. Let's all get ready and take the treasure down together," Ye Liuyun reminded them.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took out their strongest magical artifacts, ready to deal with any trouble at any time.
As the group entered the grand hall, it was filled with dazzling light. Several Golden Immortal-level magic treasures floated in the hall, all of them of the highest quality, along with several scrolls of cultivation techniques and pills.
There are already people here, and they are trying to retrieve the treasures. These treasures are not easy to obtain. There is a range array around the treasures, and lightning moves within this array. If you want to get close to these treasures, you can withstand the lightning attacks.
"Ah!" Just as Ye Liuyun and his group entered, they heard a scream. A peak Celestial Immortal had not been able to withstand the lightning attack and had been killed by the electric current. Where he disappeared, treasures were scattered all over the ground, becoming the rewards of this place.
"Damn it, are these gods out of their minds? They actually set up such a powerful array and restriction. How are we supposed to seize the treasure?" The other high-grade immortals felt their hair stand on end when they saw this scene.
After observing for a while, Ye Liuyun and the others decided to take action immediately. With so many of them working together, blocking the electric current would be a piece of cake.
"Everyone, I'm going to test the power of this electric current." Ye Liuyun greeted the group and walked directly towards the area with the electric current.
"Hey, big sister, this..." Those immortals who didn't know Ye Liuyun had an immortal body immediately exclaimed in surprise.
After all, in their eyes, although Ye Liuyun was incredibly skilled, he was only a terrestrial immortal at the moment. So, if anyone was going to explore the way, it should be them.
"Don't worry, my mom is fine," Ye Qingxue quickly reassured her.
Hearing Ye Qingxue's words, everyone calmed down. After all, even their eldest sister's own daughter said she was fine, so there was no way she was in any danger.
"Hey, look over there, what's that little earth immortal doing? She seems to be going to steal a treasure." Some immortals around noticed Ye Liuyun.
"Treasure hunting? I think they're just going to their deaths! I saw these guys in the passage just now. They seem to have formed a group in secret. Damn it, they're so insidious. One of my treasures was stolen by them." Some immortals who had their treasures stolen by Ye Liuyun and his group looked at Ye Liuyun and his group with great resentment.
But then, something happened that shocked them. When Ye Liuyun came into contact with the lightning, although the lightning immediately covered her entire body and caused black smoke to billow from her, she was not immediately sent away. In other words, the lightning could not kill her.
"So comfortable, so comfortable, give me more." Ye Liuyun felt a tingling sensation all over his body from the electric shock, but it was of no use.
The people in the Immortal Realm were immediately dumbfounded.
"My God, the electric current that can easily kill a top-grade celestial immortal can't even kill my eldest sister?" someone said incredulously.
Those who were initially worried about Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
As for the other immortals, their jaws nearly dropped; they were utterly astonished.
"No way, this can't even kill him with electricity? Who is this little earth immortal?"
"Either they used some kind of treasure we don't know about, or they possess some kind of constitution that makes them immune to lightning; otherwise, it doesn't make sense."
The Protoss were equally confused.
"What the hell? What kind of magic did this little Earth Immortal girl use? How could she withstand divine lightning that is enough to kill a low-grade Golden Immortal?" The gods on the Nine Heavens side were also starting to doubt their own existence.
The Jade Emperor immediately wanted to use her abilities to investigate Ye Liuyun's background, but this time she could only see a fog and couldn't see anything at all.
"A chaotic origin? Obscured by the Heavenly Dao, or perhaps by a power surpassing mine?" The Jade Emperor was startled once more.
Today he has discovered several people he cannot understand, and she guesses that these people must all be related to the Celestial Venerable.
Because only immortals whose origins are related to the Celestial Venerable are beyond the comprehension of these Heavenly Emperors.
For example, the disciples of the three great celestial palaces are all beyond the reach of the Jade Emperor and his entourage. The reason they cannot be observed is because the Heavenly Venerable's influence is present in their life experiences—it's that simple.
After a moment of thought, the Jade Emperor looked at Li Muyun again. Li Muyun and Ye Liuyun looked so similar that they might be related, but in the end, he still couldn't see through them.
"Can't see through them again?" The Jade Emperor's face grew increasingly grim. He quickly looked at the others, but none of them were from the Immortal Realm. He could only see their experiences after arriving in the Immortal Realm.
The Jade Emperor clenched her fists, for she suddenly realized that their divine race's scheme this time might be in serious trouble. They could scheme against others, but they could not scheme against the Heavenly Venerable. To scheme against the Heavenly Venerable would be tantamount to self-destruction.
The Jade Emperor was aware of this; his divine race did not yet possess the power to contend with the Heavenly Venerable unless a being of equal stature to the Heavenly Venerable was born within their race.
In fact, the gods have been secretly carrying out a very dangerous thing. If they succeed, they will be able to escape the control of the Heavenly Venerable. But if they fail, it will probably lead to the extinction of their race.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Yaochi Goddess asked, seeing the Jade Emperor's gloomy face.
Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor quickly adjusted his state.
"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about what methods this little girl used," the Jade Emperor replied.
