Chapter 1772 The Nine Trials
A bright halo suddenly appeared atop the mountain road, with it reaching down the road''s end.
As soon as it appeared, drops of spiritual light rained down on the Spiritual Emperors below.
"Everyone, stay sharp! This is the first trial to see if you are qualified enough to truly enter the Holy
Heaven Pce. Protect yourself with your spiritual power immediately! If you are touched by the
spiritual light, the damage would be unimaginable! If you can''t fight back, then just stay where you are."
Being the great leader he was, Colton immediately reminded everyone from the front.
The Spiritual Emperors didn''t dare to be careless. Following his orders, they all immediately released
their spiritual power to protect themselves.
At first, they thought that this would be nothing but a joke. But the moment the spiritual light fell on
them, their knees instantly buckled and their face became as pale as snow. It was as if the weight of
the whole world was raining down on them. Several low-level Spiritual Emperors did not stand a
chance. Upon the first impact, they immediately spat out blood and were rendered immobile.
However, when they stopped moving, the spiritual light also stopped falling down on them.
On the other hand, those who kept moving were being tirelessly bombarded left and right.
Seeing what might happen to them if they got hit, everyone made sure to release all of their spiritual
power to protect themselves.
But soon, more low-level Spiritual Emperors gave up because they couldn''t hold on.
Several gruesome minutes passed before Colton led them out of the narrow passage and into a bright
scenery. The new ce was filled with gorgeous mountains and pristinekes. At the edge of their
view, they saw a magnificent gate with steps behind it.
"Everyone present has passed the first test. For the second trial, you have to climb to the top of the
mountain. The entrance to the trial field is located there. Same as before, if you can''t go on, you have
to stop where you are."
"Chief Colton, there are only around a hundred steps, at most. I don''t think it''s hard to get there!" an
arrogant middle-level Spiritual Emperor shouted from the crowd.
"Well, why don''t you to have a try first?" Colton said with a yful smile.
The cocky Spiritual Emperor smiled back as if he already won the trial. Without a second thought, he
jumped up and rushed through the gate in one breath. But when he was about to approach it, the
ground beneath him disappeared into thin air.
He refused to give up so easily. He still tried to force his way through, but the moment his feet fell, an
invisible force pushed him back.
"Well..." The Spiritual Emperor looked frustrated and turned his head away in embarrassment.
"Let me give you a suggestion. You can''t make your way through the gate with brute strength. The
more power you use, the more you''ll be pushed back." Rocky saw through the second test at first
nce. In fact, he knew that it was the gate that mattered.
"You mean that if we use the least amount of strength possible, we''ll pass through?" Eunice, who was
beside Rocky, asked.
"That''s true. But it''s easier said than done. You have to resist the powering from the gate while
making sure you won''t release that much power of your own. Only someone who can perfectly control
his spiritual power can easily do this task," Rocky said with certainty.
"To put it bluntly, the second trial is aimed to test the subtlety of your control over your spiritual power."
Ca also understood what he meant.
"Who else would like to have a try?" Colton turned around and asked.
"Let me have a try!" A hand shot out from the crowd. A confident high-level Spiritual Emperor
confidently volunteered.
When the Spiritual Emperor reached the gate, he immediately released his spiritual power to spread
out of his body. Instead of moving violently like thest one, he made his spiritual power flow gently like
a stream.
Then he walked towards the gate slowly.
Without meeting any resistance, he passed through the gate unharmed and headed for the top of the
stairs.
With this, the others were enlightened and knew what to do. Some middle-level Spiritual Emperors also
tried to do the same.
Two hourster, all the middle-level Spiritual Emperors had passed along with half of the low-leveled
ones.
By this time, Rocky had just gotten through the gate and was making his way to the top of the
mountain.

After walking more than ten steps of stairs, he felt a delicate figure lean against him. It was Eunice.
"Why are you so slow? I''ve been waiting for you!" Sheined with a pouted face.
"What''s up?" Rocky asked with a smile.
"I just want to talk about the Spiritual Divine Land with you..." Eunice replied.
"Have you ever entered it?" He asked again.
"No. Only middle-level Spiritual Emperors are allowed to enter the Spiritual Divine Land. With my
strength, of course, I haven''t been there." Eunice shook her head. "Although I haven''t been there, I''ve
consulted with the chief and some elders who have entered there before, and they have given me a lot
of advice."
"Well, then tell me more." This piqued Rocky''s interest.
She then told him everything she knew about the Spiritual Divine Land in detail.
ording to her, the Spiritual Emperors would be randomly transported to the starting point of a trial
once they set foot on the Spiritual Divine Land. Everyone would have a different starting point with a
different task ahead.
Afterpleting the first set of tests, then one would be transported to the starting point of another trial.
If one chose to give up on the way, they would be directly transported out of the Holy Heaven Pce.
Eunice also mentioned that there were nine trials in total. Toplete all in the Spiritual Divine Land
would take at least a month
Therefore, when a Spiritual Emperor of the Di n was qualified to enter the Spiritual Divine Land,
they would spend months preparing to get ready since they would need to start all over again if they
stopped midway.
However, in the history of the Di n, there was only one Spiritual Emperor at the peak who managed
toplete all nine trials. He was the eighteenth chief, Jaiden, Colton''s grandfather. Thest time
anyone saw him was when he resigned as chief of the n.
At present, the elder who guarded the Holy Heaven Pce had passed eight trials and only failed one.
Ever since the Spiritual Divine Land was discovered by the Di n, rumors had been circting that
treasures buried by the gods were hidden there. Only those who couldplete all trials would be able
to get ahold of them.
However, only Jaiden who had passed the nine trials knew whether the legend was true or not!
"In that case, the Spiritual Divine Land is indeed tough." Rocky couldn''t help but grow even more
curious when he heard this. Although he had already experienced countless adventures, this was the
first time he had heard of such a strange legend.
But of course, everything made sense if the Holy Heaven Pce was really created by the
gods.
