THE MARTIAL GOD

Chapter 17: The Mysterious Place

Lin Feng and Jing Yun were in Han Man's room, they were staring at Han Man anxiously due to his injuries.

“This injury is very serious. '' Said Lin Feng while checking on Han Man's injury. Although a cultivator had a higher natural healing ability than an ordinary person, his injuries were extremely serious. Like every part of his body had been damaged from his broken bones to experiencing internal injuries suffered by his organs. It was impossible for him to recover without any help.

“No problem, my life is always difficult. I won't die so easily. '' Han Man said with an optimistic smile.

"What about your cultivation? " Said Lin Feng looking at her. Han Man avoided Lin Feng's sight. He couldn't see Lin Feng's eyes. That's right, even though he won't die, his cultivation is damaged and without good care he will eventually become disabled, with less strength than an ordinary person.

'' Lin Feng, let's go to the Black Wind Mountain kill some ferocious beasts to obtain some items to exchange for the Immortal Pill to heal Han Man. "Said Jing Yun. Han Man was just an ordinary disciple and there would be many disciples to replace him. If you are not an Elite disciple, the Sect will eventually only provide you with basic accommodation. If you have provided a good service to the sect or if you have extraordinary strength then they will make you join the Elite disciples. Those who displayed rare abilities on the path of cultivation became important and respected sect members. As ordinary disciples they couldn't rely on the sect's help to bother curing Han Man, what was the benefit for the sect to waste such precious materials to save ordinary disciples?

“It won't work, the wound is too serious. Even if ordinary pills could cure him, the side effects would be too harsh on his damaged body ” said Lin Feng shaking his head.

“What should we do? Is there another solution? ”Ask Jing Yun.

Lin Feng suddenly stood up, turned around and walked towards the door.

“I'll go to the Cliffs of the Gorge. Wait me. I'll be right back . "Said Lin Feng calmly.

Total silence filled the room that Lin Feng had just left. Jing Yun shivered nervously clenched her hands.

Han Man smiled. Even though his face looks like he is smiling happily, you can see his eyes become moist.

Cliffs Gorge …

Only a man like Lin Feng could come up with such an idea …

Only a person like Lin Feng would dare to go there with his cultivation …

The cliff of the ravine was one of the most mysterious and sacred places of the Yun Hai Sect. It was even more famous than the Life and Death Arena.

There were not many people involved in the battle in the Life and Death Arena but every once in a while, there would be some. Yet there were very few people who went to the Cliffs of the Gorge. Those who dare to go there are those who truly seek enlightenment or death. In the Yun Hai Sect many disciples heard the name of the Cliff of the Gorge, but they had never seen or heard the story of what was inside. It was too dangerous to try to get in and those who did, never came back to tell the story.

Everyone has heard that if you pass the Precipice of the Abyss examination then the Sect will acknowledge you and you will receive a priceless treasure. Needless to say if you fail the test then the consequences will be disastrous.

At the peak of Yun Hai Mountain, there was a mystical cave that was extremely difficult to reach for ordinary disciples. The cave is the road to the Cliff of the Gorge.

At this moment, Lin Feng was at the entrance to the cave.

"I, Lin Feng of the Yun Hai Sect dare to challenge the Cliffs of the Ravine!" Shouted Lin Feng in front of the entrance.

His voice penetrated into the cave wall and did not stop echoing for what seemed like forever. After a while, a voice replied, but this voice did not echo and seemed to arrive from within the cave instantly.

"Please enter . ”

"good. '' replied Lin Feng and immediately started walking inside the cave.

The road was dark and there would be no light found this deep in the cave, but it was still possible to see the surroundings. On both sides of the cave were paintings and symbols drawn on the walls. He continued walking forward and could already see the part of the cave where there was a small light. He immediately headed towards the light.

Inside this part of the cave is a bed made of stone, a table and a chair with candles on it. It was a very simple room. On the bed sat an old man wearing a black robe. His eyes were closed and he did not move at all, there was not even any sign of breathing. After a long time, the old man spoke.

"You want to go to the Cliff of the Ravine?" Said the old man wearing a black robe with his eyes still closed.

"Yes, that's right. "Jawab Lin Feng's.

"And for what reason do you want to go there?"

“My friend is injured. He had a broken bone and his internal organs were also severely injured. I need the sect's support to save him from becoming a cripple. I need a pill that can cure it without any side effects. '' Lin Feng replied undisturbed.

The old man wearing a black robe opened his eyes. His expression was extremely profound as if his gaze had penetrated into Lin Feng's soul; it was as if he could pierce through it.

"If there is an easy way to obtain pills then all the disciples will give it a try, but you are only at the eighth Qi layer. Passing the Precipice exam at the Cliff of the Gorge will be very difficult .. Let go of your spirit so that I can see it. ”

Lin Feng nodded. A small snake appeared but when a dark spirit appeared, it immediately hid and went undetected.

"What! Did ya? ”The word of the old man wearing a black robe while frowning. Even though he had vast knowledge, he never thought that such a spirit existed. It seemed like the snake was flying in the air but it was skinny and looked weak. It did not look like a savage beast and instead looked weaker than a house pet.

“Thank you, Elder. "Said Lin Feng nodded. Then he entered the passageway without hesitation or regret.

When the elder saw Lin Feng enter the hallway, he shook his head. The eighth Qi layer and his spirit were extremely weak. It was almost impossible for him to pass the examination at the Precipice Cliff Cliff. The part that the old man had just shown Lin Feng was leading to the Cliff of Zhangu. It was the most innocuous test and Lin Feng could come out at any time. However, his difficulty level was the highest of all the exams.

(TL: Zhangu: Chinese war drum.)

Lin Feng had come for his friend so the elder dressed in black robes did not want Lin Feng to get hurt too seriously. Therefore, he had chosen to let Lin Feng enter the only place where he could lose and return if he thought it was too difficult.

The drum had not let out a sound for a hundred years which also meant that no one could pass this hallway examination in a hundred years.

°°

Lin Feng entered the hall. Inside it was pitch dark. There are many hand carved stone steps towards this section. There were over a thousand steps to the peak and in the end he could see a simple yet large square space. Lin Feng arrived in the room and saw a huge stone door that was the only entrance to the room. When Lin Feng approached, this huge stone door started to open itself letting Lin Feng in.

“The mysterious place. "Whisper Lin Feng. The passage suddenly opened and allowed him to enter.

A pure and fresh air attacked Lin Feng's nostrils. This room was shrouded in clouds and fog and there was a hint of coldness in the air. The room itself gave off a dangerous yet mysterious aura.

There were eight drums in the room. This drum looked like a war drum from his previous world that would be played during a military attack. They looked identical to his world war drums.

"Boooms. "Huge doors made of stone were closed behind him. Lin Feng turned around and saw the words written in large letters.

He then moved to the center of the area and looked around him.

He had no idea what made this drum so mysterious. He only had to make one drum make a sound to pass the exam.

"YES!" Lin Feng ran towards the drum while condensing the Qi in his fist and randomly punched the drum.

"Doooonnng" drum makes a muffled sound. An invisible sound wave was released from the clock drum which made Lin Feng retreat in shock.

"Huh?" Lin Feng frowned. He dashed forward again and concentrated 5000 Jin of strength on his fist then struck the drum directly.

"Dooonnnnngggg" a powerful vibration spread throughout the atmosphere. The tremors began to merge into a powerful wave. After all the waves merged into one remaining wave launched straight back to Lin Feng.

"Boooom" A powerful wave crashed into Lin Feng which dropped him into the air and sent him flying backwards.

"Cough!. cough" Lin Feng fell to the ground and coughed twice. Seeing the blood coming out of his mouth made him stupefied.

Is that Nine Heavy Waves?

Lin Feng's eyes were staring blankly at the drum. He had just been attacked by the Nine Heavy Waves technique and the strength of the Nine Heavy Waves was far greater than his own comprehension. These drums are capable of returning attacks and duplicating the power of the attacks they return.

How intriguing. How did this drum return my attack?

Lin Feng was sitting down and thinking deeply about the current situation. First and second, he only managed to make a muffled sound like “dooong”. The drum does not emit anything close to the original drum sound on any of its punches. To make matters worse, the stronger the attack, the stronger they retaliated. It was truly a mystery that seemed impossible to solve.

“I did something wrong. Since this was the ancient test of the sect, there was definitely a way to pass the test. It's just that I haven't thought of a solution yet. Moreover, the elder in the black robe knew that I was a cultivator of the eighth layer of qi and that my spirit was weak. He must have chosen the easiest exam for me. If I can't pass the easiest exam, how can I get the support of the sect to help Han Man? "

Lin Feng thought deeply then he suddenly jumped to his feet. At that moment he completely understood what he was doing wrong as well as the intentions of the elder. It wasn't the easiest test, it was actually the hardest. The old man in the cave was actually hoping that Lin Feng would come crawling back in the face of adversity. This was a test of how hard he was on his path to becoming immortal.

"Dark spirit, get out" thought Lin Feng. Lin Feng released his dark spirit. Soon, his vision could break through the secrets of the world. When he used his dark spirit, all of his abilities and skills became stronger, including the power of his comprehension.

His long sword emitted a metallic sound. A thunderous roar spread throughout the atmosphere and rained down on the drums.

"Pshhhh"

"Booom"

A whistling and thunderous sound filled the atmosphere of the cave. The attack hit the drum but it seemed like its power was reversed and doubled. The sword shook and he tried to stop the counterattack.

Lin Feng's clothes were torn to shreds. There was blood flowing from the wound on Lin Feng's body. This was exactly what Lin Feng had predicted. The counterattack force was exactly twice the strength of the previous attack. Even though he was trying to protect himself, it didn't work.

“I just need to improve my skills. "Said Lin Feng without retreating. He used the roar of thunder again, but this time to attack the others of the eight drums at full force.
