The old dog rested for a while and walked towards the gate of the stone palace. Li Ran and Shuiyue stared at his back, and Ling Meng shouted: "Old dog, be careful this time."

The old dog walked into the stone hall silently, and not long after, his voice came from inside.

"It seems there is no danger, come in."

The three of them walked into the stone hall and saw animal reliefs engraved on them. Li Ran had never seen any of the creatures carved on them before, while the old dog was lying on a square altar in the center of the stone hall.

The altar is gray and white, stone-like, about six feet high, and is painted with animal patterns.

The old dog lay on the altar, pressing his face against the altar, as if listening to something.

Li Ran glanced into the hall and said, "This place is empty, let's go."

Shuiyue said, "Intuition tells me that there must be something here."

After saying that, he circled around the altar and stopped on the east side.

"Ha, look, this is clearly written."

Li Ran walked over and saw that there were several lines of strange symbols engraved on the east side of the altar, which seemed to be some kind of text.

“What is written on it?”

"The method of using this altar is called the treasure altar. As long as you open it according to the methods recorded above and pass the trial, you can get the corresponding treasure."

"Trial? Treasure?"

Shuiyue turned her head, looking for something on the ground, and suddenly made a surprise sound.

"Ah, that's it."

Her eyes fell on a stone slab on the ground. The color of the stone slab was slightly different from the surroundings. It was a little lighter. If you look closely, you can still see the remaining patterns on it, as if it was some kind of creature.

"The other three directions should have one such stone slab. Just find four stone slabs and four people stand in four directions to open the treasure altar. Look for the other three."

Li Ran soon found another stone slab on the east side, Ling Meng found one on the west side, and Shuiyue found another on the north side. Add to the stone slabs that Shuiyue found on the south side at the beginning, and all four stone slabs were found.

"We happened to have four of us. Let's see what good things are hidden in this treasure sacrificial altar. Old dog, don't lie on it, come down to help."

The old dog turned a deaf ear and was still lying on the altar listening.

Shuiyue patted Ling Meng on the shoulder and signaled her to call the old dog to come over.

Ling Meng said, "Old dog, come here to help."

The old dog immediately bounced up from the altar and ran to the three of them.

Shuiyue curled her lips and said, "I really recognize people like a dog."

"Is there any danger?" Li Ran said worriedly.

Shuiyue said: "Don't worry, there is no big problem. I didn't feel too strong threat from this altar. The so-called trial should not be too dangerous. Besides, if you want to get treasure, a little risk is inevitable."

"Okay, then give it a try."

The four of them stood in all directions, each standing on a stone slab. After a few breaths, the altar in the center lit up, and the beast patterns on the stone slabs under the four people's feet also lit up at the same time, as if they were alive. Four strange beasts rushed out of the stone slabs under their feet and swallowed them.

The figures of the four disappeared into the hall, leaving only the altar in the center emitting a glimmer of light.

Li Ran heard a strange beast roar in his ear, and his consciousness was blurred for a moment. When he came to his senses, he was already in another world, and there were three other people missing.

Where he is now, is a round floating island, which is about the same size as a football field. It seems that it is floating in the sky, and you can see flowing clouds floating across the floating island.

Shuiyue said that she had to pass the trial to get treasures, but there was nothing here except an empty floating island. What was the content of the trial? It would be nice to have a monster here to let me fight.

Li Ran was wondering, and a faint sound came from behind him.

"Please select the trial difficulty."

Li Ran suddenly turned around and saw an old man with white hair behind him, with a faint figure, like a ghost.

"Who are you?"

"Please select the trial difficulty."

"Are you the administrator here?"

"Please select the trial difficulty."

“…What’s the difficulty?”

"Simple, ordinary, difficult, extremely high." The old man's words finally changed, "The higher the difficulty, the more rewards you get after passing the trial."

“What if it fails?”

"Leave the most valuable treasure on your body and retreat quickly." Li Ran didn't know if he had an illusion, but he felt that the old man seemed to be laughing when he said this.

“…I’ll choose simple.”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

The old man's eyes shot a contemptuous look, as if he had penetrated Li Ran's body, and his tone was cold.

"The candidates who take the exam will have the cultivation level in the fusion period."

“The selected difficulty is simple.”

"Trial content, a true immortal-level thunder ape."

Li Ran was stunned after hearing this, and then shouted: "Hey, have you heard it wrong? I chose simple. I am only at the 8th level of fusion. Why is the real immortal level thunder ape? I am missing two big realms, which is also called simple?!"

The old man did not respond to Li Ran's doubts and disappeared with a contemptuous sneer.

At the same time, a surging spiritual power fluctuation came from behind Li Ran. When he turned around, he saw a giant thunder ape falling from the sky and slamming heavily on the floating island. The entire floating island seemed to have sunk a little.

The giant ape is nine feet tall, and its muscles surrounded by lightning are like hills, full of oppression.

If this guy hits it with a punch, it will definitely turn into a meat pie.

This is the first thought that popped up in Li Ran’s mind.

If he loses to him, he will hand over the most valuable treasure on him. Li Ran thought to himself that the most valuable treasure on him is of course the fragment of the Xuanhuang Tower, which was once a precious artifact.

This is the only thing Xiaoke left to him, and he can't hand it over no matter what.

Thinking of this, Li Ran suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit in his heart, urging the spiritual power in his body to the extreme.

"Wow, you will never let you take away what Xiaoke left to me!"

The shape of a sword was formed between his palms. The sword was three feet, six inches and five minutes long, which was the Xuantian sword shadow that Li Ran had not used for a long time.

The Xuanhuang Tower protects the body and attacks the Xuantian Sword. With the help of the power of the two major artifacts, this is the only way he can think of to fight over the level.

The phantom of the Xuantian Sword was unprecedentedly clear in his hands, emitting dazzling light.

He rushed towards the thunder giant ape opposite with his sword, stabbed into the giant ape's chest with a sword. The giant ape's huge body immediately turned into a few spiritual lights and dissipated.

Looking at the dissipating giant ape, Li Ran was stunned for a while with the Xuantian sword in his hand, and the sword light was still spitting out.

"This is the true immortal level? Is there a sword?"

"And is this giant ape stupid? Why don't you even hide? Or is it because I was extremely angry just now, and the speed of the explosion was so fast that it could not react?"

Li Ran had seen Shuiyue fight against a True Immortal level opponent, but he was not that stupid.

When he was wondering, the old man's figure appeared again.

"Oh, my friend is extremely brave. He can use his integrated cultivation to kill the true immortal-level thunder ape. He really has the power to be the emperor."
