As for the red quartz, Lin Ming did not know why, but he had a premonition that if he missed this opportunity to choose it, then he would never be able to get it again.
Therefore Lin Ming gave up on the relatively safe route of choosing a pill, and instead chose red quartz.
"As you wish . ”
With Yan Mo in mind, the other two treasures were taken away, and only the red quartz with the red filament inside was left.
“Kissing human trials, the treasures you have chosen from the three are the most valuable, and also the most difficult to obtain. Since you chose this treasure, then you will not receive any additional rewards from the sixth level, the trial of the Heavenly Envoy. In other words, if you are unable to break through the seventh level, then you will receive no more than what you have gained in the fifth level and below. ”
As Yan Mo spoke, Lin Ming began to become extremely excited until he reached cloud nine. But as he continued, Lin Ming's mood fell to its lowest point.
This bet is too high. If he was unable to pass through the seventh level, then it would be the same as trying to fetch water with a bamboo net!
Lin Ming had relied on receiving some sort of strength from the sixth level Even if it wasn't something that increased his cultivation, it might be some other form of strength. He felt he had little chance of passing the seventh level, but now those expectations evaporated.
He had to pass through the seventh floor in one go!
Yan Mo had already disappeared after speaking. Lin Ming wasted no time. He immediately sat down with his legs crossed, took out a true essence stone, and began to rotate the 'True Primal Chaos Formula'.
This time, his recovery time was much longer. Before he tried the sixth floor, he had to restore his strength to its peak condition and adjust his mental state to the maximum. In the past 19,000 years, not a single person who came to the Sorcerer Pagoda was able to pass through the sixth level.
……………….
Outside the Sorcerer Pagoda, Na Yi had already waited for a very long time. Na Shui went in the corner, asleep. She was like a cat curled up in the corner of a room, covered from head to toe with Na Yi's coat.
Na Yi predicted that it should be morning, nearing dawn.
But nothing happened inside the Sorcerer Pagoda. This caused Na Yi to feel somewhat depressed. Did he really enter the heavenly Kingdom? Why was he in the heavenly Kingdom for such a long time? Did an accident happen? ”
In Na Yanda's records, she had not detailed how long she had been inside the heavenly Kingdom. But, according to the entries before and after he entered, and the description of the surrounding environment and when he had lunch and dinner, he said, Na Yi could roughly estimate that she had stayed in the heavenly Kingdom for an hour or two.
But Lin Ming had been inside for at least four or five hours!
What caused Na Yi to feel the most anxious, was that Na Yanda had noted that those who entered the heavenly Kingdom, if their strength was inadequate or they were incompetent, then they could die!
Na Yi instantly clutched her chest as she felt her heart tighten. There were several times he wanted to enter the Sorcerer Pagoda to investigate, but he refrained from doing so. After all, everyone only had one chance to enter the Sorcerer Pagoda, and now was not the best time for him.
And most importantly, it was completely useless even if he entered the Sorcerer Pagoda. His strength was too far from Lin Ming's strength.
Na Yi carefully rubbed her forehead. He fumbled at the rough sheepskin courtyard in his hand, agitated.
"Sister .." Na Shui's sleepy voice called out from behind.
"mmm? Ah Shui, you're awake. ”
"Sir, what time is it?" Na Shui said as she yawned and stretched her body. After one night sleeping on the rough stone floor, his back hurt. Luckily for him, he was a martial artist. If she was just a normal little girl sleeping on the floor like that for the night, her back would be bruised black and blue.
"I'm not sure. It should be before dawn. ”
"Oh ... Brother Mo still hasn't come out?"
"No.." Na Yi sighed.
"Sister, do you think that Big Brother actually entered the heavenly Kingdom? If he came out, then wouldn't he be a hero like Na Yanda? ”
Na Yi reluctantly nodded and said, "She should be …"
That is only if he returns safely …

Lin Ming finally stepped into the sixth level of the life and death smelting trial of the – Heavenly Envoy.
When he came to this world, Lin Ming saw that he was standing inside a huge open white temple, floating in midair. Surrounding the temple are 9 columns shaped like circular dragons, each more than 1000 feet high, reaching the sky.
Lin Ming was standing in a vast field in front of this building. All around him, celestial mountains floated in the air, and towering waterfalls tens of thousands of feet high poured down the slopes of the surfing mountain with raging torrentiality, it turned into countless silver beads before falling into a bottomless void.
In front of Lin Ming, there was a middle-aged man wearing blue clothes and carrying a long sword strapped to his back, facing away from Lin Ming. Her hair was tied with tight knots, half black, half white, and over two legs.
Lin Ming looked at the cultivation of this man, and his heart was cold.
He was actually a Houtian master!
He was only an early Houtian master. However, there was an important qualitative change between a Pulse Condensation Period martial artist and a Houtian master.
Lin Ming felt a puffy bitterness in his heart. His bone age was less than 16 years old, yet he had to face the Houtian master on the sixth floor!
If one were to search the entire Sky Spill Continent, would one be able to find a 15-year-old brat who possessed the strength as a Houtian realm master?
This was also the first time Lin Ming would face a Houtian realm master.
The difference between the peak stage of Bone Forging and the early Houtian realm was the half stage. That might not sound like much, but on the path of martial arts, the difference between each field of cultivation only increased.
From Bone Forging to Pulse Condensation, one's body meridians would be opened and connected, and true essence would be able to flow freely and unhindered, This was already a huge leap. From Pulse Condensation to Houtian, true essence would gather within the Dantian and add to the meridians of the entire body without end. It was also a big jump.
Lin Ming was not sure that he could bridge two great qualitative leaps in this cultivation and deal with a Houtian realm master.
"Take out your spear. ”
Lin Ming was surprised. The middle-aged man not only spoke, but he also used the language of the Realm of the Gods.
Lin Ming gripped his spear in his right hand. The elbow is pressed into the shaft, and the base rests on the body. He aimed this nearly 10 foot long spear at the middle-aged man and challenged him.
The middle-aged man pulled his longsword and slowly said, “You will definitely lose to me. ”
Cha—
The moment the sword point left its scabbard, there was only a loud ring that sounded as the air was split apart by the sword. The middle-aged man held his sword and stabbed towards Lin Ming.
The middle-aged man's speed was really extreme as it approached the limit. And his sword came from an unimaginable angle. No matter how one wanted to dodge, they were unable to escape from that sword.
"Flowing like Silk!"
Lin Ming shouted and thrust his spear. Since he could not see through the middle-aged man's sword path, Lin Ming would use his strength to break his movements, and use a large amount of quivering true essence to block the sword.
The peng!
The sword wind spread. However, Lin Ming's 5000 true essence filaments were mostly destroyed in return. He tapped his toes and quickly retracted.
He had consumed a large amount of true essence, but it was manageable. Lin Ming began to spin the 'True Primal Chaos Formula', and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around him continuously flowed into his body, quickly recovering the true essence he had used. Lin Ming's cultivation was now only at the peak of Bone Forging, but his stamina and endurance far exceeded that of normal Pulse Condensation Period martial artists.
"mm?"
That shadowy martial artist light showed a hint of curiosity and sent an astonished look towards Lin Ming who was able to fend off his sword.
The light shadow martial artist flicked his wrist and the sword pierced forward exactly as before. However, this time there was a layer of red light covering the blade. It was clear that the light shadow martial artist had used a martial skill!
This Houtian realm master martial skill attack!
Lin Ming tightly clenched his jaws, and his entire body erupted with a flood of true essence. Flames like flickering red lotuses bloomed at the end of the cold shining Cold Spear Soft Spear. The flames moved and whirled along with the 5,000 vibrating true essence filaments, charging towards the sword of the light shadow martial artist as if they were legions of fiery dragons.
Bang !!
There were no glaring or luxurious movements as the spears and swords struck each other. A burst of true essence burst out like a shockwave as it scattered in all directions. Although Lin Ming was able to fend off against the sword light shadow martial artist, he could not stop the shockwave. The rampaging true essence was similar to a hidden weapon that broke into Lin Ming's body. It was like several dozen blades had been pierced into Lin Ming's organs; the pain was terrifying!
Although Lin Ming felt as if the blood within his organs was turbulent, after examining himself, he discovered that there were no serious injuries.
"mm? Me survive? "
Lin Ming was overjoyed. The defensive ability of his body had exceeded his high expectations. He had been able to defend against the sword winds of the Nadi Condensation Period master, and now he was also able to ward off true essence after the wave of Houtian realm master attacks!
"Since you can arrive at the sixth level, you are truly amazing!"
The middle-aged man revealed a hint of appreciation. He no longer looked down on Lin Ming because of his cultivation.
As Lin Ming watched the middle-aged man's expression change, a thought swelled in his mind. This middle-aged man was not a condensed puppet of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, but was actually a living person.
Was she the same as Yan Mo; also once a Sorcerer servant?
"Come again!" The middle-aged man shook his long sword and rushed towards Lin Ming.
"A true essence manifestation!"
Lin Ming raised his spear to meet the attack. The two exchanged a number of moves. Although every movement was not very fast, every attack and attack was filled with raging and ferocious true essence power.
Because the cultivation of the light shadow man far exceeded Lin Ming, it was almost only him who attacked, while Lin Ming could only dodge and defend.
Even though he had the power of thunder and fire along with the flow like a Silk ability, Lin Ming was still in danger If not for the Golden Roc difficult to destroy the Void movement technique, then it would have been difficult for him, then he would have no way to repeatedly dodge the middle-aged man's sword wind, and would already be gone by now.
Peng peng peng!
Several dozens of attacks had been exchanged between the two. The turbulent true essence broke the jade core of the celestial palace; the broken jade pieces were like countless drops of water scattered from the sky like glittering waterfalls!
In such a fierce collision, the light shadowy man was unharmed, and yet, Lin Ming had actually suffered the repeated effects of the surging waves of true essence. If not for the green energy of the Witch Slave that had transformed his body and increased his defensive strength, then his organs would have already broken apart and he would have lost a long time ago.
Bang out!
With an explosion, Lin Ming was sent flying backwards several hundred feet. He barely lifted himself up with the support of the Heavy Spound Soft Deep, and wiped away the bloodstains dripping from the corner of his mouth. He was injured, but nothing too serious. With his powerful blood vitality supporting him, Lin Ming could even feel that his internal injuries were slowly recovering.
Although he was not seriously injured, the question still remained.
How could he win?
