The Medallion

"The Di Clan even made an exception this time to open the Holy Heaven Palace to bridge and improve the relationship between the human race and the spiritual race. All of that for what? We just let some ambitious people take advantage of this opportunity! This sucks!" Eunice could not help but exclaim, complaining about the current situation.

"This is not just a coincidence. I feel like they are really coming for the Holy Heaven Palace on purpose," Rocky speculated while letting out a frown.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. The main reason why the chief even suggested opening the Holy Heaven Palace was so the members of the human race could increase their strength and capitalize it. After all, the Holy Heaven Palace is the only place in the entire Ethereal Region where one can improve his strength by undergoing various trials."

While Rocky and Eunice were still conversing, they eventually reached the top of the mountain. There, they saw a huge natural lake. It was as green as jade, and one could clearly see his reflection upon looking in it. Then, at the center of the lake, there was a huge round platform with eight passages that led to eight different light gates. The scene was actually breath-taking and would not be seen anywhere else.

Not long after, many candidates had also gathered on the top of the mountain. However, the several low-grade Spiritual Emperors, who were too weak to pass the entrance to the mountain, were not able to catch up.

"What you are seeing in front of you is the teleportation platform of the Holy Heaven Palace. As you may have guessed, the eight light gates will lead you to eight different mysterious areas. But as I said earlier, the Spiritual Divine Land is the only area that was fully explored by the Di Clan. Now, the entrance to the Spiritual Divine Land is the second passage on the left. However, if you want to enter it, you still have to go through the last trial!" Colton declared.

Hearing this sudden announcement, the remaining candidates looked quite nervous as if they were about to face a formidable enemy again. When they passed through the previous two trials, about ten candidates had been easily eliminated. Now that the passage towards the Spiritual Divine Land was already in front of them, no one wanted to miss such a once in a lifetime opportunity to explore it.

"What are we going to do in the last trial?" Michelle asked immediately, curious as to what they had to overcome this time.

"Well, as you can observe, there is no direct way to reach the transmission platform from where you are currently standing. Therefore, you must cross the lake to get there. However, be warned that this is not an ordinary lake. Courage is the key to cross it. If you don't have enough courage, then I'm afraid that you will never be able to cross it," Colton hinted.

After hearing Colton's vague clue, the candidates started staring at the lake with curious eyes. But no matter how much they looked at it, they didn't seem to find any danger.

"Don't waste your time by just looking at the lake because you'll never sense the danger it entails by doing so. Moreover, the light gates won't stay open forever. In just thirty minutes, the entrance to the Spiritual Divine Land will disappear. Hence, it means that you only have half an hour to cross the lake and get to the platform," Colton informed.

Immediately after, the eyes of the candidates widened as they exchanged puzzled looks. It seemed that they had to cross the lake without even knowing what kind of danger was waiting for them.

the high-grade Spiritual Emperors, who had been the first to rush through the mountain gate, took the initiative to cross the lake before anyone else. He carefully stepped on the lake, maintaining his balance as he treaded through its surface. If this was just an ordinary lake, his efforts would have been enough already.
