Chapter 3627 The Second Trial Begins

""

Evelynn's eyes quivered, and she felt light pa.s.s through her eyelids.Thismeant it was still daylight.

As soon as she regained consciousness, she could sense that she was lying flat on a cold surface, causing her to feel some chill. Her eyelids trembled in an attempt to wake up, but thewave ofdrowsiness filling her was too strong.

Her eyes seemed to be shut tight, and her senses didn't even move past her two meters away from her.

She noticed that her spatial ring, life ring, defensive necklace, defensive ring, and even her defensive robe had disappeared, leaving her clothed in white like a peasant woman.

Eventually, she managed to open her eyes. A clear sky came into her view,one that lackedclouds, yet the world was so bright. Some locationswere radiatinga ray of brightness as though abigspotlight was placed on the surface, directed towards the sky.

The light traversed in different directions to the skies, making her wonder where she was as she sat up. As her hand grazed the ground, she found that she was seated on dirt, and a few meters awayfrom her, there was some gra.s.s and bushes.

She discovered she was at the edge of a forestas inone direction, trees grew and in the other, it was barren.

Her spider bones stabbed to the ground and pushed her up, allowing her to stand up and measure the surroundings.

"What dense heaven and earth energy"

Evelynn heaved a breath, inhaling theheaven and earth energy.She felt like even Immortal Emperors would improve at twice the rate here.

Unfortunately, her cultivation was sealed with nine seals, so no amount of cultivationwas goingto allow her to increaseher cultivation.

Nonetheless, she quickly understood she was separated from Isabella and s.h.i.+rley as she couldn't find them nearby.She didn't raise her voicein orderto search for them but started moving slowly, crouching her way towards the forest to better hideas shedidn't feel like she could survive with her measly Level One Immortal King Stage Cultivation, not to mention having her prowess sealed.

She didn't even dare use her cultivation for fear of being discovered and concealed herself. As a Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid proficient in Poison Laws, Darkness Laws, and Hex Laws, shewas able toconcealwell with Darkness Laws.

However, it didn't reach the level of Nadia, much less the Ghostly Crows.

Butshe possessed the Darkness Malevolent Soulthatshe had taken advantagea lot oftimes and traineditwith Wisteria, so she was better able to conceal herself, at least as good as a Ghostly Crow.

"What? Wait"

As she checked her soul, she noticedthat herconnection with Davis was blocked.She wasn't surprised byitbut she was shockedwhen she sawthat Wisteria was missing.

Not only were herpersonalitems taken away, but even her spirit was taken away. She wondered where Wisteria could have been taken away and turned to look at the ray of light in the sky.

These places seemed to be where cultivators would eventually gather, but she wasn't prepared to go there as she felt like she could be killed in one move.

But at this moment, she discoveredthat there wassomething in her inner world. There were three items. She willed them out, and they floated out of her inner world, escaping her dantian before floating in the airin front ofher. She saw that they had three highly complex runes inscribedon them, yet they were named with a single word.

[Defend]

[Escape]

[Summon]

""

Evelynn looked at the three orange talismans, wondering if they were life-saving talismansthat weregiven to them by the World Master or a trial master.

Either way, she gave them a good look, trying to decipher theirtrueuse.

At a glance, one of them seemed to be a defensive talisman. One of them seemed to be something that helped them escape, and the third sounded like it could summon Wisteria to fight by her side.

In some cases, spirits were deemedastrue companions unlike magical beasts as spirits were souls. She wondered whatwasthe rule regarding magical beasts and spirits as companions or if even magical beasts and spirits could use humans as companions.

She wasn't sure about that and imagined that she would see it when it played out.

Nonetheless, she sent the three talismans inside her inner world and re-concealed herself using a technique. Her Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Inheritance wasn't just for show.

It contained many techniques, including hex techniques, that could be considered arcane and accursed arts by the righteous path.Sheimaginedhertechniques would be placed in the core aspects of the wicked path, makinghercurlherlips.

Soon, she chanced upon a mound.

She initially saw it had crystalline l.u.s.ter from a distanceand imagined it would growto bean earthen mountain. However, she couldn't beanywrong.

""

Once she closed in, she saw that the entire mountain wasacrystallinestructure.What's more, she felt like she had found the source of the dense heaven and earth energy, which was right in front ofher.

'What is this place?'

Evelynn was shaken as she recognized that the entire mountain was an amalgamation of heaven and earth energy. Inother words, immortal crystals, yetit was onebigstructure containing hundreds and thousands of Immortal Crystals, over a hundred Vein Fragments, and around ten Vein Sources, all of them High-Level Immortal Crystals that Immortal Emperors would use!

However, her trembling didn't come from the fact that there was one such mountain. There were at least sixteen in this area as far as she could see, eachone of themrising to the peak.

These towering crystal mountains rise towards the sky, their peaks glistening in the sunlight.

She saw sunlight reflected from them and were directed back to the skies diagonally, butunder the dense heaven and earth energy,they didn't even make it a quarter of their way.It made her turn back and look at the glaring spotlights reaching into the skies, making her wonder if those were what she thought they were.

'Vein Source mountains of Peak-Level Immortal Crystals?'

Evelynn's gaze shook.

She couldn't fathom such a thing as even her husband didn't have that many immortal crystals after plundering- no, he did have too many immortal crystals, but they weren't Peak-Level Immortal Crystals, so their value didn't quite match what she saw in the distance.

"Girra~"

At this moment, a grating yet echoing sound spooked her, causing her to crouch and hide behind a tree. She still hadn't come out of the forest, allowing her to lay low. Her senses didn'tquiteextend past two meters, but here, it practically refused tocomeout of her body, making her inwardly sigh.

Whatever that made that sound, it didn't seem like good news to her, so she kept quiet and made her way around.

The mountain of immortal crystals was highly reflective. Some surfaces even managed to projecthersilhouette amidst the trees.Ifit weren't for her concealment, she doubted that she could remain undetected.They were like mirrors, making her vision gocrazy, but at the same time, she didn'tfail to noticethe menace lurking in those mountains.

It seemed to be a magical beast or not.

'A turtle?'

Evelynn's brows twitched as she saw the strange creature.Its features were definitelythatof a turtle but its body seemed to be madefullof crystals. It smashed its crystal turtle head on the mountain like it was miningandextended out its crystallinetongueandate the crystals that fell out of the mountain.

Crunching sounds echoedout of the turtle as itseemed tobe havinga tasty meal, making her brows twitch.

'Just what is that creature?'

Evelynn had never heard of it but she could sense a dense amount of heaven and earth energy radiating from it. At the same time, she found that it was aMid Stage ImmortalEmperor Beast, something she would find a bit challenging in an unsealed state but now, if she tried challenging it, she might get crushed by its pressure alone.

""

Evelynn looked at it for some time, trying to see what the crystalline creature was, only toend up finding more in the vicinity ofthe crystal mountains.

She decided it wasn't worth it and turned around to leave.

"Ahaha! I'm rich!"

At that moment, a stupidly loud voice echoed throughout the area.

Evelynn garnered it from the other side, soshe couldn't seeproperly. However, she saw the crystalline creatures suddenly stop eating and turn to look toward the source of the voice.

That turtle also seemed interested in that voice,making its way towardsit.

Evelynn thought about it and decided to follow, arriving at the other side just in time to see an inheritor use a talisman.

It glowed with a white light before enveloping him and disappearing, leaving the crystalline creatures pouncing onemptys.p.a.ce.

"Girrar!~"

"Girrarar!~"

The crystalline creatures bit and clawed each other as though telling themto notinterfere but as soon as they looked around and saw that there was no inheritor there, they lost interest and turned around to return.

Evelynn pursed her lips as she couldn't identify that inheritorbuthe definitely had been a Level Six Immortal King Stage cultivation, meaning that he had only reached the third step. If he had found her, then she would have no choice but to escape using the same method he used.

Regardless, she glanced at the unguarded crystal mountains, wondering if she should plunder, but if she did, then where should she go about storing them since her spatial ring was taken away?

She guessed she could store it in her inner world, but the number of itemsshe could storethere was limited, making it a dilemma.

Then again, she was doubtful as to what use these crystals have since she couldn't use them and, hence, failed to see the need to bring them with her.
