"I have been given the Black Level Six Trials. The first trial is to pass through the Forest of Life that we came from under the pressure of the Light of Life, with a time limit of one year."
After saying that, Xiao Wu tilted her head and said, "It sounds simple."
"Is that so..." Lin Chuan's expression was very strange. "I hope you can still say things like that later!"
"Hmph, don't underestimate Sister Xiaowu. Crossing the Forest of Life is nothing to Sister Xiaowu, who grew up in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Facing Lin Chuan's malicious smile, Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, looking very confident.
"By the way, Xiao Chuan, you should come over and get your test qualification too!"
"Uh..." Lin Chuan's smile suddenly became subtle.
He has already passed the top eight tests of the Earth God Temple, and he hasn't even finished that yet. If he were to try to take the life test as well, wouldn't that be a bit too greedy?
Would the Goddess of Life just kick him out of the Temple of Life?
"Just try it!"
Lin Chuan was eventually overcome by curiosity and stepped forward to the wooden pillar.
After waiting quietly for a while, the green pillar of light he had imagined did not light up, and the wooden pillar in front of him remained unchanged, which made Lin Chuan purse his lips.
"If it really doesn't work, can't you be a little more generous?"
The Goddess of Life, who was silently watching over this place from the realm of gods, couldn't help but laugh in exasperation after hearing Lin Chuan's mutterings.
"You little rascal, you're really greedy. You've already been recognized by the Earth God, yet you still want to receive the test I bestow upon you. And you're still here making fun of me. Be careful, or I'll make sure the Earth God gives you a reward!"
The goddess of life gritted her teeth slightly and couldn't help but whisper a threat.
Of course, she didn't actually do that. After all, she was one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, and it wasn't worth getting angry with a little kid.
"Hmph, there's no assessment, but since I find you somewhat agreeable, I might as well give you a little something in return, so people won't say I'm stingy."
As she spoke, the goddess of life felt a slight stirring in her heart.
Inside the Temple of Life, the wooden pillar reacted instantly, and a ball of emerald green light slowly flew out, disappearing into Lin Chuan's brow before their very eyes.
"Did they hear me complaining?"
Lin Chuan was clearly a little stunned, but he quickly began to sense the changes in the test content.
After figuring out the specifics, his expression became unusually strange.
The test content remained unchanged, but the rewards seemed to be vastly different. Simply put, as long as Lin Chuan completed a test, he would not only receive the original reward, but also a second reward from the Goddess of Life.
Is this what a win-win situation looks like?!
"Alright, I take back what I just said. The goddess of life is not only beautiful, but also the most generous goddess I've ever seen!"
"Hmph, the little guy is really cunning, but that's more like it!"
The goddess of life chuckled softly, a satisfied smile appearing on her lips, and she felt quite pleased.
Chapter 152 Just Grind and You'll Get It Done
"Brother Chuan, did it work?"
Seeing a wisp of green light imprinted on Lin Chuan's brow, Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu both thought they had succeeded.
Lin Chuan smiled and shook his head, "I guess I've succeeded halfway. I didn't receive the test from the Goddess of Life, but as long as I complete the test, I can get another reward."
"Really? That's great!"
Ye Lingling smiled slightly, genuinely happy for Lin Chuan.
"Time is tight and the task is heavy, let's begin now!"
Xiao Wu and Ye Lingling nodded immediately upon hearing this.
After turning around, Xiao Wu didn't sense anyone following her, so she stopped and looked back with a puzzled expression. "What are you guys still doing standing there?"
“Our assessment criteria are different; only you have traversed the Forest of Life.”
"what?!"
Xiao Wu froze on the spot, slightly dumbfounded.
So, she'll be all alone from now on?
Lin Chuan waved his hand with a smile, "Good luck, don't fail to even pass the first hurdle, that would be very embarrassing."
"Hmph, who do you think you are? Just you wait and see, Sister Xiaowu!"
Xiao Wu gave a soft snort and turned to walk out of the Temple of Life.
Her long black hair swayed gently and rhythmically with her steps, looking quite lively. It's true that she was a transformed soft-boned rabbit; her innate vitality had not completely disappeared.
After glancing at the figure that had disappeared outside the door, Lin Chuan slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Lingling, let's go!"
"Ok!"
Ye Lingling nodded gently and walked with Lin Chuan into the depths of the Temple of Life.
"We're here, Brother Chuan! This is it!"
The two of them went together to the courtyard behind the Temple of Life square.
The courtyard was filled with flowers and plants, lush and verdant, a scene full of vitality. The moment Lin Chuan stepped into this area, he sensed the active spiritual energy and life force within it.
Cultivating here would be twice as effective for plant-type soul masters.
"This place is indeed very suitable for cultivating life force, so let's begin now!"
The second of Ye Lingling's nine life trials is to successfully condense life energy within three years, which is no small test.
The two entered the courtyard one after the other and casually found a spot on the lawn to sit cross-legged.
At the same time, close your eyes and begin to enter a meditative state.
You have earnestly contemplated the universe and gained much insight, deepening your understanding of the power of life.
You have earnestly contemplated the universe and gained much insight, deepening your understanding of the power of life.
……
With almost no effort, Lin Chuan was completely immersed in the ocean of life.
Just as he had thought, comprehending the power of life in this courtyard was far more efficient and easier than in any other place he had ever been before.
Lin Chuan was like a dried-up sponge, greedily absorbing the power of life.
Even though the efficiency was high, it was not as easy as when they were at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, where they mastered the two mysterious powers of fire and water.
The difficulty of comprehending different mysteries varies. Elements such as water, fire, wind, and thunder, which are common to all things, are relatively easy to grasp.
However, it is extremely difficult to reach the first level of the mysteries of space, life, and even time. But once you succeed, even if you are only at the first level, it will be stronger than the second level of the mysteries of the fire of all things!
"Take your time, this place is a treasure to me too!"
Lin Chuan closed his eyes tightly, his mind and body completely immersed in cultivation.
The long-awaited seclusion and dedication to his work didn't bore him; instead, it filled him with anticipation. He wondered how the mysteries of life differed from other mysteries.
……
Life became simpler after that.
The vegetation in this courtyard is not always full of life energy. Lin Chuan roughly estimated that the state of being blessed and comprehended would only last for two hours in the morning, and then he would have to wait until the next day.
It would undoubtedly be even more difficult for Ye Lingling to condense life energy under these circumstances.
Unlike Lin Chuan, who achieved a state of oneness with nature and could clearly sense the universe, she could only gain a preliminary understanding of life energy through the help of the Life Spirit.
However, the task of condensing, storing, and utilizing this material on its own is undoubtedly a huge undertaking.
Several days passed without any progress from Ye Lingling, and even she, who was usually aloof, couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Lin Chuan immediately smiled and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Since the test period is three years, it proves that it is not easy. The more difficult it is now, the greater the reward after success will be. Take it slow, there is still a long time. I will also find a way to help you later."
The path of spiritual practice is indeed arduous.
Every night, Lin Chuan and his two companions would gather together.
Upon learning of Ye Lingling's troubles, Xiao Wu pouted indignantly, "Lingling, stop showing off. You only need to sit and meditate every day. Unlike me, I have to try to cross the Forest of Life every day under the pressure of the Light of Life."
"If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The problem is that the creatures in the forest have gone crazy. They attack me as soon as they see me. I'm even thinking of switching places with you!"
The girl's somewhat mournful complaints made Lin Chuan burst into laughter.
He couldn't help but tease, "Didn't you say it was a piece of cake at the beginning? You're already planning to give up after only a few days?"
Faced with the teasing, Xiao Wu immediately let out a soft snort.
"You underestimate me too much. It's just a small test. Although it's causing some obstacles for me right now, it won't stop me. Just you wait and see, I will definitely be able to successfully cross the Forest of Life within a year!"
Xiao Wu isn't stupid. These days of training have indeed been tiring, but the results have been quite obvious.
When you're exhausted, meditating will undoubtedly speed up your soul power cultivation. In addition, the energy in this space is even more abundant than in the Star Dou Great Forest, making it a treasure land for cultivation.
