Darren was a little upset to have reached the end of the test.
"Alas! In order to find out who killed him, Emperor Yahya had set up such an elaborate test. In the end, he still could not figure out who did it!"
Darren was wondering who had killed Yahya.
"Ah, forget it. Just rest in peace, Yahya." Darren bowed towards the crystal coffin.
Returning to ancient times allowed Darren to gain much.
First, he would be able to improve his strength by inheriting the Fire and Water Emperor Character. Second, he would be able to analyze the battles of previous emperors in order to learn how to make his cultivation better. Last and most importantly, he finally discovered the secret behind the River of Forgetfulness.
"Why did the avatar say that? How could he think that the mysterious warrior who had survived the thunder punishment for Conflicting Cultivation was me? And that I would be the one to kill me?" Darren could not understand.
"Never mind. I'll just cross that bridge when I get there."
Darren shook his head, releasing a force to awaken Hailey.
"Are we out?" Hailey, dazed, looked around her.
"Yes. Yahya committed suicide. The test is over." Darren nodded.
"Oh, it's finally over." Hailey was relieved. Suddenly, she sat straight up. "Wait a minute. Didn't you say there are three tests? Where is the last test?"
"How can there be a third test? That last one was the ultimate test."
"Oh, alright." Hailey nodded.
"Let's go. Let's take the Emperor Characters and leave."
"Yes."
The two walked up to the crystal coffin.
"Thank you, master."
Darren had promised to treat Yahya as his master, so he bowed towards the crystal coffin.
"Thank you, master." Hailey bowed to Yahya three times.
Buzz…
The space vibrated, and the lid of the crystal coffin slowly rose. A corpse floated in front of them.
Three crystals flew out of the corpse's head and were suspended in the air.
One was red and blue, one was black and white, and the last was gray and white. These were the three Emperor Characters.
Darren stretched out his hand and took the red and blue one. This crystal was the Fire and Water Emperor Character.
The Emperor Character melted into his meridians. Instantly, he felt ice and fire running through his veins.
"Eh? My True Fire Spiritual Body and True Ice Spiritual Body haven't disappeared!"
Darren was surprised. He thought the two bodies would disappear after finishing the test.
The two kinds of holy emperor's power swirled together in Darren's elixir field. If he didn't possess the two physiques, he would have been killed in an instant.
The two forces melted within Darren's fire and water crystal. He could feel that both his aura and realm were rising.
"I need to cultivate. Hailey, you should go and take an Emperor Character as well." Darren sat on the ground with his legs crossed, concentrating on refining the two powers.
"Yes."
Hailey reached out her hand and plucked out the gray and white Emperor Character.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Suddenly, a strong wind surged throughout the holy emperor's tomb.
The two forces formed a black and white circle in front of Hailey. It looked like the symbol of yin and yang.
The two forces merged and reached a state of balance.
As the Feminine and Masculine Emperor Character melted in Hailey's hand, two kinds of forces entered her elixir field and transformed the two crystals in her body.
