Two voices sounded simultaneously, echoing in front of the Taiyi Hall.
"Impossible! How could you possibly come out alive from that cursed place?" The two exclaimed in unison, their faces full of disbelief.
In front of the forest of swords, Li Fan stood with his hands crossed, looking at the pale-faced Sikong Yi and Baili Chen, sneering without a word.
He just stepped onto the sword hilts, like he was about to chase after them.
The phantom sword pierced through, and an excruciating pain followed.
Li Fan almost couldn't control his body and nearly fell down.
Falling from the sword hilt wouldn't lead to death, but it would just teleport him back to the outer periphery of the sword forest, starting anew.
Of course, if someone couldn't accept it and tried to fly over the top of the sword forest...
Then they would truly experience what it felt like to have a thousand swords pierce through their hearts.
This was the trial in front of the Taiyi Hall, the trial of the sword forest.
As opposed to the other parts of the Cloud Water Celestial Palace, as long as you didn't act recklessly, there was no fatal danger here.
At most, it was experiencing the feeling of being pierced through the heart by sword after sword.
In the previous life, many cultivators endured the intense pain and passed through the sword forest, entering the interior of the Taiyi Hall.
However...
The hall was empty, completely devoid of anything!
"Could it be that the treasures in the Taiyi Hall were taken by Sikong Yi in the first place?"
"The opportunity in this Taiyi Hall is the 'Cloud Water Map'?"
Although Li Fan could use the Insect Binding Technique to capture these two now, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to force them to reveal how they obtained the "Cloud Water Map."
Li Fan knew there were methods of soul searching in the ancient cultivation world that forcibly read a cultivator's memories.
Unfortunately, Li Fan didn't know how to perform them yet.
So, to be on the safe side, he had to wait for these two to take out the "Cloud Water Map."
Li Fan contemplated, and the Azure Flame Illusionary Spirit emerged in his mind.
His body temperature gradually dropped, and Li Fan felt himself becoming extremely calm and rational.
Nothing could disturb his state of mind.
Stepping forward, he stood on the sword hilt.
Although he could still feel the pain, Li Fan wasn't afraid.
He took several steps forward in a row. To avoid scaring Sikong Yi and Baili Chen too much, he stopped and pretended to rest.
Sikong Yi and Baili Chen, seeing that Li Fan was still alive, were greatly shocked.
At this moment, seeing Li Fan getting closer and closer, they couldn't help but become anxious.
At that moment, they became ruthless, clenched their teeth, and took a few violent steps towards the front.
Four sharp swords were added to their body at the same time, and the pain brought about was not as simple as simply adding up the pain of each sword.
The agony multiplied several times, making it almost difficult for the duo to maintain the stability of their figures.
Fortunately, they were able to stabilize themselves by supporting each other for a moment before they were about to fall.
Seeing this, Li Fan also took three steps forward, and then he looked like he was having trouble maintaining his stance again.
In this way, Li Fan always maintained a distance from the duo, pulling down the other's guard.
But yet, he was threatening to catch up, giving them a sense of oppression.
As if they were prey being chased by hounds, Sikong Yi and Baili Dust, step by step, were getting closer and closer to the Taiyi Hall.
Eventually, they walked to the end of the sword forest.
Jumping down from the hilt of the sword, the two of them fell to the ground as if they were deflated.
However, with Li Fan pressing step by step behind them, getting closer and closer, they could not afford to rest.
In a hurry, Baili Chen took out a blue token from his chest and shouted loudly in the direction of the Taiyi Hall.
"I am Baili Chen, the 165th generation direct disciple of the Cloud Water Celestial Palace, and I request an audience with Patriarch Taiyi!"
Baili Chen's voice echoed continuously.
Li Fan abruptly stopped the steps he was about to take and stared ahead.
The majestic Taiyi Hall seemed to come alive at this moment, slowly rising into the air amidst constant tremors.
The ground beneath their feet started to shake.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Four thick legs like pillars emerged from below the Taiyi Hall and stomped forcefully on the ground.
A hideous monster head appeared before Li Fan like a demon descending on the world.
