Not only in the region where Ye Chen was located did bizarre phenomena occur, but similar anomalies also manifested simultaneously in the regions where the other young warriors were situated.
In the valley where Bai Xiaodie was, with its nine Golden Monkey Statues, the statues' eyes likewise burst out with light, and the Ancient Furnace of Creation in her valley also filled up with golden Spiritual Liquid.
However, the color of the golden Spiritual Liquid in her Ancient Furnace of Creation was much paler compared to that in the Ancient Furnace of Creation in the valley where Ye Chen was.
Where Qian Ming was, numerous golden droplets also flew directly out of the immense waterfall and entered the Ancient Furnace that rose up in his region.
Ye Chen's cousin, Ye Xue, in the dense jungle, had countless green streams flow directly into the giant Ancient Furnace before her, even filling it with green Spiritual Liquid.
In the end, in the midst of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, all eighteen regions and the eighteen Ancient Furnaces that had ascended were filled with various kinds of Spiritual Liquid.
This odd phenomenon led all the young warriors from the three clans to start guessing how the "Ancient Furnace of Creation" trial would proceed.
At this moment, the enormous visage of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact appeared above each region, looking at the young warriors from the three clans and slowly said, "The Ethereal Spirit Holy Temple, which you call the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, is the grand opportunity left to your three clans by my old master, 'Heavenly Saint Di Kong'."
"Outside the secret realm, you passed the 'Collecting Golden Light Beads' trial and exchanged them for countless treasures."
"Those treasures are external objects, which you can use for yourselves or give to others, but to benefit from them, there is a process of cultivation and use."
"Here in the middle region of the secret realm, the 'Ancient Furnace of Creation' trial you are about to face is not as simple as the Golden Light Beads trial. The opportunities you may receive are not external treasures like the secret treasures."
"In this 'Ancient Furnace of Creation' trial, the trial, and the opportunity come together! If you can pass it, it will directly enhance your body's potential and raise your life level!"
Enhance the body's potential?
Raise the life level?
The young warriors didn't quite understand what the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact was saying.
The Spirit of the Sacred Artifact seemed to see through the young warriors' confusion and continued, "The Ancient Furnace of Creation is a special treasure of the 'Jindi Ancient Clan', the ancient clan of my old master, Heavenly Saint Di Kong, which every member of the clan entered when they were young."
"The Ancient Furnace of Creation holds a great transformative power!"
"Combined with the Creation Spiritual Liquid, anyone who enters will undergo a transformation through the washing of the Spiritual Liquid and the smelting of the Ancient Furnace."
"This transformation uplifts one's potential from the body and raises one's life level from within! Each entrant can only experience this transformative creation once in their life! Once the transformation is complete, it will bring unimaginably great benefits to one's future cultivation and combat!"
"The Ancient Furnace of Creation has five levels of trials, five levels of transformation!"
"The first level is to refine the flesh, a transformation of flesh and skin! The second is to refine the meridians, a meridian transformation! The third is to refine the acupoints, an acupoint transformation! The fourth is to refine the bones, a bone transformation! The fifth is Marrow Refining and Blood Replacement, the descent of Divine Blood!"
"The washing of the Spiritual Liquid and the smelting of the Ancient Furnace are extremely painful. If one cannot endure and faints, they will be expelled from the Ancient Furnace and will not be able to continue with further smelting and transformation."
"The trials and opportunities in this middle region all lie within the Ancient Furnace of Creation. If you can complete three transformations, not only will you gain a great enhancement in bodily potential and life level, but you will also be able to directly enter the core area of the Ancestral Land, to face the third trial and seek the third opportunity!"
"As for the fourth and fifth levels of transformation, given your condition, it's nearly impossible to complete them.
Even in the ancient clan of my old master, where the tribe members are naturally stronger than you, it is rare for anyone to finish the fourth level of transformation, and as for the fifth level, anyone who completed it, as long as they did not fall, later stepped into the Heavenly Saint Realm, becoming a power of the Heavenly Saint Realm!"
The words of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact made all the young warriors look toward the gigantic Ancient Furnace of Creation before them.
So it turns out that the Ancient Furnace of Creation is the very ground of the grand trial, the land of great opportunities!
Having completed the five layers of transformation, as long as one does not perish, they all eventually step into the Heavenly Saint Realm. This highlights the miraculous nature of the Furnace of Creation!
"Refining the flesh, refining the meridians, refining the acupoints! One must pass through these three layers of refinement and complete three layers of transformation to enter the core area of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm,"
the words of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact let the youths know that passing through five layers of refinement seemed utterly impossible!
They were only considering whether they could pass the first three layers of refinement, complete the first three layers of transformation, and just make it into the core area of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm!
At this moment, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact looked at the youths and continued, "All of your Ancient Furnaces of Creation are the same, but your Creation Spiritual Liquids are different!"
"The more precious the area you are in, the more valuable the Creation Spiritual Liquid will be, and the better the effect on your transformation afterwards!"
"Ye Chen is in the first Creation Spiritual Liquid area, Bai Xiaodie is in the second Creation Spiritual Liquid area, and the top ten who hold the Ancestral Ground Secret Map have decent Creation Spiritual Liquids. As for the others, their Creation Spiritual Liquids are relatively ordinary,"
"However, the more precious the Creation Spiritual Liquid, the greater the corresponding pain of refinement! None of your forebears in the first five openings of the Ancestral Land were able to pass through three layers of refinement and had the qualification to step into the core area of the Ancestral Land!"
"Those in the top ten, especially those who entered the first and second Creation Spiritual Liquid areas in previous attempts, didn't even complete two layers of refinement, and in the end, their gains were about the same as those who completed two layers of ordinary Creation Spiritual Liquid refinement."
"Therefore, the size of the opportunity matches the difficulty of the trials. How much fortune you can obtain depends on your own abilities!"
When the youths scattered across the central region of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm heard that Ye Chen's Creation Spiritual Liquid was the most precious and that the effects after transformation would be the best, they were all filled with envy.
But when they heard that he would also face the greatest pain of refinement and that none of the ancestors from the first five openings of the Ancestral Land could even pass two layers of refinement, they began to feel sympathy for Ye Chen.
At this moment, Ye Chen, looking at the huge Ancient Furnace before him, and at the eighteen Golden Monkey Statues bursting with the light of Spiritual Liquid, was utterly calm in his heart and mind.
No matter the difficulty, he was determined to give his all. Whether he could enter the core area of the Ancestral Land and what he could gain would be seen in the end!
"Alright, commence the second trial and embrace this second opportunity!"
"Ancient Furnace of Creation, absorb!"
As the voice of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact resonated, the eighteen Ancient Furnaces of Creation emitted an earth-shattering glow, which enveloped all the youths within it.
In the end, all the youths were drawn into the Ancient Furnaces of Creation, falling directly into the interiors, completely submerged by the Creation Spiritual Liquid within the furnaces!
Ye Chen, Bai Xiaodie, and the ten strong who obtained the Ancestral Ground Secret Map, each entered their respective Ancient Furnaces, while the other twenty people, some in groups of three and others in pairs, were also submerged by the Spiritual Liquid of the furnaces.
After all the youths were submerged by the Creation Spiritual Liquid inside the Ancient Furnaces, the eighteen Ancient Furnaces of Creation emitted a thunderous roar. Within this thunderous roar, countless mystical patterns inside and outside of the Ancient Furnaces burst forth with light, which infused into the Creation Spiritual Liquid.
At the same time, the Creation Spiritual Liquid inside the eighteen Ancient Furnaces boiled violently like water, emitting the sounds of "puff, puff, puff" from the process of refinement.
Refine! Refine! Refine!
This was unequivocally the beginning of the Spiritual Liquid cleansing of the youths by all the Ancient Furnaces of Creation, the start of their refinement by the Ancient Furnaces!
All the youths had entered the first layer of transformation - "Refining the Flesh"!
