Long Chen summoned his primordial spirit, gathering the powers of blood, bone, and qi toward his primordial spirit. Golden spots appeared on his primordial spirit, and these golden patterns gradually formed golden primal runes.
However, Long Chen had only been tempering his spirit for the time it takes to burn an incense stick before he could endure it. Just as he had expected, the pain of refining the spirit was incomparable to body refinement.
The pain in the body is on a completely different level from the pain in the soul; there is a qualitative difference between the two.
Although Long Chen could refine his entire bones, he couldn't refine his entire soul. If he did, regardless of whether he could endure it, even if he could, his will would collapse because he couldn't bear the pain, becoming a madman.
Long Chen lasted only the time it takes to burn an incense stick before sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked completely exhausted. Yu Qingxuan thought Long Chen couldn't hold on any longer, so he actually joined forces with everyone to help him take his place.
Although they didn't have as much strength as Long Chen, dozens of people working together could still hold up a space dozens of zhang wide. Now that everyone was gradually adapting to the pressure, this space was more than enough as a buffer for everyone.
Long Chen didn't offer much explanation. Seeing that everyone was able to handle the pressure, he could rest well, took a pill to rest a bit, and then continued refining his spirit.
Long Chen kept refining at intervals, but when he observed everyone, he was shocked to find that these royal disciples were progressing rapidly, their physical strength increasing rapidly. In just one day, they had fully adapted to the pressure here and were no longer in danger.
In other words, everyone here possesses the power of a dragon. Possessing the power of a dragon can be considered an absolute expert.
The royal disciples here all possess powerful bloodlines and magical abilities. If these people pass the Vermilion Bird Trial, they will surely be transformed, with astonishing combat power. The Vermilion Bird royal family is truly deeply hidden.
"Yifeng, how long are we going to stay here?" Long Chen had just completed a Spirit Refining session and said to Zhu Yifeng beside him.
"When the Vermilion Bird Trial ends is entirely up to us. After clearing all the obstacles and passing completely, we can leave.
We are now in the first stage of the first stage, which is also the easiest and easiest, but as you can see, the difficulty is obvious.
Our trial is probably no less than Father's, and it probably requires passing ten trials to complete.
Back then, Father and the other powerful warriors spent a full three months, fighting from the first to the tenth stage. We probably need even more time. Zhu Yifeng said.
"Three months?" Isn't this way too long? There may be changes outside. Long Chen was momentarily stunned.
Long Chen could roughly guess the royal family's approach. They had long since stopped the trial, probably just to show the outside world the princes and princesses' "true strength."
The experts of the Eight Great Empires saw everything clearly; such a contest was no joke. According to Long Chen's estimate, it wouldn't be long before the Eight Great Empires would have their armies pressing at the border.
Three months is too long; if they go out like this, it will probably be too late by the time they leave.
"Three months is still the fastest. You have to know, during that trial, besides Father, Empress Jiang, and Empress Xu, there were many other super powerhouses. There were over five hundred Dual Supreme experts alone.
But here, there are only fifty-six Dual Extreme Supremes, just one-tenth of that generation. If we calculate based on this..." At this moment, Yu Qianxue walked over. She was drenched in fragrant sweat, her face slightly pale, having just learned from Long Chen to cultivate under pressure.
"You mean it'll take us thirty months to clear the level?" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Qianxue wiped the sweat from her face with a silk handkerchief, shook her head, and said, "That's not how you calculate it. If we don't have enough strength, we'll all die here and never get out." "
No way, isn't this a trial?" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"The Vermilion Bird trial is just that cruel. If we can't get out, then the Vermilion Bird gate will never be able to open from the outside.
If it can't be opened, it means the trial grounds can no longer be used. Those undergoing trials are like being imprisoned.
However, the Vermilion Bird Trial also has its own laws. If the person inside can't get out and the outside can't be opened, after a hundred years, the Vermilion Bird Trial will automatically restart, and at that point, all life in the trial ground will be crushed. Yu Qianxue said.
"Wow, this is truly cruel." Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
But thinking about it, it made sense. If the people inside couldn't pass, such a powerful trial ground would just be ruined, which would be unreasonable. The rules were too bloody and cruel. Once emotions come here, there's no way out.
"Big brother, I want to become a master. Can you help me!" Suddenly, Zhu Yifeng gritted his teeth and said.
Yu Qianxue and Long Chen were both stunned. After their last defeat, Zhu Yifeng had become much more silent and withdrawn; no one knew what was going on in his head.
At this moment, Zhu Yifeng's eyes were red, as if he had made up his mind. His gaze toward Long Chen was full of earnestness.
Long Chen glanced at Zhu Yifeng and smiled slightly, saying, "No problem, I'll help you. But you need to give it your all." "
Big brother, don't worry. I will never let myself waste myself again. I want to become a strong person." After saying that, Zhu Yifeng stood up and walked toward the area with more pressure.
Before him was a huge passage leading into the distance, but due to spatial distortion, his gaze could not reach far or see what the end of this road looked like.
However, the further you go on this path, the greater the pressure. Ordinary disciples are still adapting to the Starting Ground, while the strong have already begun venturing deeper.
"Is he alright?" Yu Qianxue watched Zhu Yifeng's departing figure, speaking with some concern.
"He's fine. You might be in trouble." Long Chen said.
"What do I need?" Yu Qianxue was puzzled.
"Because he's about to surpass you soon." Long Chen said with a smile.
"I don't believe it," Yu Qianxue said, her eyes wide open.
Long Chen smiled and said, "He's already found the resolve to become stronger, but what about you?" "
I've always been working hard to get stronger."
"Alright, since you don't believe me, let's just pretend I never said anything and let's wait and see!"
After saying that, Long Chen patted his butt, stood up, and began walking deeper into the passage.
When Long Chen reached a thousand zhang, a step appeared ahead. As he stepped onto it, the pressure increased significantly. According to Long Chen's senses, the pressure here was equivalent to ten dragon powers.
Continuing forward, Long Chen saw Yu Qingxuan and other princes and princesses, as well as some powerful royal disciples, all adapting to the pressure here.
Long Chen did not disturb the others in their cultivation, continuing forward. After walking another thousand zhang, another step appeared ahead, and Long Chen stepped over it.
