Duan Gujin soaked in the hot spring for quite a while before the Primordial Power inside his body stabilized.

Suddenly, a question flashed in his mind; he was eager to know the purpose of the first trial conducted by Liuyun Immortal Sect. Why would they conduct such a bizarre test?

He looked around and didn't find anyone else nearby.

"Could it be that I'm the first person to pass the first trial?"

After looking around, he quickly found a stele next to the hot spring in front of him.

Immediately he went to the stele, and after reading the content, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"So the second trial of Liuyun Immortal Sect is to assess three abilities of Sixth-level Alchemy! The first is Soul Fire purity, the second is the endurance of Spiritual Power, and the third is the control ability of Soul Fire! No wonder I felt that the content of the trial for the sixth level by the Liuyun Immortal Sect seemed a little sparse before. It turns out they tested several important assessments all at once! This move is ruthless! Moreover, only one challenger can take the trial at a time!"

He took a deep breath; he had discovered while soaking in the hot spring that it contained abundant Primordial Energy, and after recuperation, he had recovered to his Peak State.

He immediately memorized the map on the stele and proceeded towards the destination.

Moments later, he came to the edge of a huge cliff.

On the other side of that cliff lay a vast fiery pit.

Below the cliff was a boiling, fiery red Molten Lava.

In front of that fiery pit, there was a huge platform.

A giant iron chain connected this part of the cliff to the platform in front of the fiery pit.

For a Martial Artist, using the iron chain to reach the platform ahead was not difficult.

After checking his surroundings and ensuring there were no dangers, Duan Gujin stepped onto the iron chain and moved forward with his Flying Technique.

Soon, he crossed the iron chain and arrived on the platform.

He surveyed the surroundings with his Divine Sense, and after a while, he found that two stone pillars had suddenly appeared on both ends of the platform.

Each of the two stone pillars had something resembling a Crystal Stone, and they were shining brightly.

As he puzzled over this, suddenly, a deep voice came from the air.

"Welcome, first Challenger to arrive here. Next, what the Challenger needs to do is to release all your Soul Fire and use it to protect your entire body, step by step walking over this fiery pit! Don't move too quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's eyebrows slightly furrowed, as he did not expect Liuyun Immortal Sect's method of testing Soul Fire purity to be so unique.

He released his Soul Fire and then stepped towards the fiery pit ahead.

As he progressed, suddenly, he heard a crackling sound in the air.

His eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly prepared for battle, thinking that something abnormal had occurred.

But after a while, he realized the crackling sound was caused by the contact between the Soul Fire he had released and the flames within the pit.

Moreover, he noticed the flames in the pit had turned a deep red color.

He didn't understand why, but he thought since this trial was to test the purity of a Martial Artist's Soul Fire, the crackling sound when the pit's flames contacted his Soul Fire made sense.

He continued to release more Soul Fire, carefully moving forward.

Soon, he passed over the fiery pit.

At that moment, one of the stone pillars ahead transmitted a voice.

"Please take out your identity token, and then attach it to the shining spot."

Duan Gujin did as the voice instructed, taking out his identity token and affixing it to the shining spot.

After a while, the deep voice came once more.

"You have passed this trial and may proceed to the next one!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a thought quickly flashed through his mind—he felt that this pyramid he had reached was not a low-level Treasure.

"This place is extraordinary! A normal sect couldn't possibly possess such advanced testing tools; this device seems like the automatic testing artifacts of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace."

The Mysterious Heavenly Palace is a sect that specializes in crafting various ingenious Treasures. The hallmark of the Treasures from this Heavenly Palace is that they can automatically test a person's various abilities without any human manipulation of the Arrays.

Duan Gujin, in his previous life, had witnessed the wonders of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. Analyzing the current location, he conjectured that the artifact he was seeing might very well be a creation of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace.

However, looking around, another thought crossed his mind.

"The Mysterious Heavenly Palace is incredibly powerful; why would they leave one of their crafted Treasures here on the Jiuzhou Continent?"

After pondering for a while, he then stopped dwelling on it.

Ahead was another hot spring.

Next, to that hot spring was an indication that it could help a Martial Artist recover some of the spent Primordial Energy and Spiritual Power.

Duan Gujin entered the hot spring and quickly returned to Peak State using the spring's energy.

"Next, it's time to test the endurance of Spiritual Power. I'm curious to see how one's Spiritual Power endurance is tested here!"

Duan Gujin was suddenly intrigued and moved on by an iron chain to the second platform.

On the second platform, there were also two stone pillars, and a deep voice came from one of them.

After hearing the voice from the pillar, Duan Gujin understood how this trial was to be conducted.

He walked more than a dozen steps forward and saw a huge Molten Lava pool burning fiercely.

Beside the lava pool, there were three iron rods of different sizes and lengths.

The previous voice had told him that as long as he could maintain the medium-length iron rod over the lava for 15 minutes, he would pass the trial.

The other two rods were meant for getting accustomed to how to keep the rods suspended over the lava.

If a competitor felt their Telekinesis was weak, they could try with the smallest iron rod first.

If a competitor believed their Telekinesis was powerful, they could test themselves with the largest iron rod and see how long they could hold it.

Liuyun Immortal Sect would award points based on how long the competitor could keep the largest rod suspended over the lava.

Duan Gujin released his Spiritual Power and first took control of the smallest iron rod, making it float above the molten lava.

On both sides above the lava, there were eight taut iron chains.

The eight iron chains formed a special Array, allowing Duan Gujin to judge through the light emitted from the iron chains whether the rod he controlled was properly suspended over the lava as required.
