Chapter 619: Zhou Family Ancestral Land

Chapter 624 Zhou Family Ancestral Land

300 years ago, the ancestor of the Zhou family was persecuted by his enemies and was unfortunately shot off a cliff during a fight. Unexpectedly, he survived the disaster and found an ancient relic at the bottom of the valley.

His fate changed from then on.

20 years later, the ancestor of the Zhou family, whose cultivation had skyrocketed, returned to the world. He not only avenged his enemies, but also used his enemies' assets to buy the ownership of the land of the ancient relic.

The nameless valley was transformed and became the ancestral land of the Zhou family.

Countless torches scattered throughout the walls illuminated this independent underground space as bright as day.

The magnificent dome, the gorgeous murals and reliefs, and the sculptures and tombstones standing on the wall like knights, put together, do not appear abrupt and weird, but have a unique harmony.

In the center of the hall, stands a lonely giant statue.

The statue has no facial features, and the stone used for construction is very ordinary. The limbs and clothes are not finely carved. It looks so rough and out of tune with everything around it.

It is about ten meters high, just standing quietly, but it seems to be the center and focus of the world.

A hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Zhou family mistakenly entered this place and accidentally used soul power to start the trial.

There are ten rounds of trials, and the standard for passing the test is to persist for ten minutes in the hands of the soul beasts that appear continuously.

After passing each round, there will be a three-month rest period. Those who do not continue to open the trial for three months will be shattered.

The reward is that after killing the soul beast, you will get a trace of extremely refined soul power, which can increase the upper limit of soul power without side effects.

So, this is a paradise for the brave and a purgatory for the cowards.

"The rest time after each round is for you to absorb the previous experience and lessons and get more growth, Wenxiu, there is no need to rush to start the ninth round of trials."

The persuasion of her brother echoed in her ears, and Nitia walked silently towards the statue, expressing her attitude with actions.

Such quarrels have been carried out many times before, and there is no point in wasting words.

The tall statue seems to be looking ahead.

Even if it is just a statue, you can feel the smell of war and gunpowder from it.

There are no eyes carved, but at first glance it looks like a giant is really staring at you.

Nitia took a deep breath, and the majestic soul power condensed at her fingertips, and then shot out, covering the face of the statue.

"Buzz--"

The magnificent hall began to tremble slightly, and at this time, wisps of mist rose from the ground and slowly condensed into shape.

It was like a ghost returning to the world from hell, but it was far less clear, and neither the face could be seen clearly nor the body was stable.

But you can feel the pure malice towards life that cannot be ignored.

Nitia has been prepared for the unchanging way of appearance. The bright soul ring rose from her feet, the moonlight scepter emitted light to isolate the malice, and the crown on her head kept her absolutely calm and sober.

The clear soul barrier blocked all fluctuations and shocks, conveying a reassuring sense of heaviness.

In the violent tremor, even the murals began to shake, and hundreds of twisted ghosts took steps and charged at Nitia.

A dazzling light appeared on Nitia, and the first soul ring, which concentrated the power of all soul rings, showed unimaginable power.

The surging soul power swept all around with frost. In an instant, hundreds of ghosts were completely turned into ice sculptures, and even the torches hanging on the distant wall were not spared and went out one after another.

But Nitia did not stop there, and the second soul ring lit up immediately.

"Bang."

The compressed full moon rose to the sky.

As the torches went out, the hazy full moon became the only light source in the hall.

The ice layer that had stopped spreading continued to expand under the moonlight, and in a blink of an eye, the entire hall was covered with frost.

The ghosts hidden in the earth had just broken out of the ground, and before they had time to take shape, they were turned into ice sculptures of various sizes by the ice.

Even if there were occasionally fierce ghosts that broke through the control of the ice, the slowdown and sluggishness brought by the low temperature would be like heavy shackles, turning them into slow-moving targets.

This is the horror of the field-controlling control-type soul master. As long as there is enough time to pave the field, then one person can form an army and fight against a hundred.

Strands of pure soul power emerged from the ice sculpture and merged into Nitia's body, replenishing most of her soul power that had dried up in her body, barely maintaining a good state.

The extremely low ambient temperature in turn strengthened the power of soul skills, while reducing the soul power consumption required to release soul skills.

A positive cycle was created.

The ten-minute countdown passed in a flash, and the ghosts that followed one after another turned into scattered light points and rose up in the silent wailing, annihilating in the air.

The hall stopped shaking, no new ghosts emerged from the earth, everything returned to calm again, only the eternal statues still stood there, silently watching everything.

It was finally over, Nitia's eyes showed a trace of fatigue, and the constantly swaying scenes in front of her showed that her spirit had reached its limit.

It was not difficult to pass the trial, but if you want to gain more, you need to use the least power to cause the most damage. If it weren't for the help of the external soul bone, she would have given up long ago.

Crisp applause rang out in the hall.

The brother praised exaggeratedly: "You are worthy of being a genius of the Zhou family once in a hundred years, Wenxiu, I know you can do it."

Nidia straightened her back and silently supported her body with the scepter. Even in front of her brother, she didn't want to show her weakness.

"Don't call me by that disgusting name."

"Grandpa" Zhou Liqing received a cold gaze as soon as he started to speak. He raised his hands in surrender and said, "Well, even if we don't mention the old man, you don't have to be so hostile to the family. At least after years of reflection, the elders have realized their mistakes and the resources that were previously seized have been reissued truthfully."

"You came here specially just to say these boring nonsense?" Nitia sneered, "Please figure out the order of priority. They don't think they are wrong."

"It's just that I have grown to a level that they can't ignore. If I continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, others will think that they are blind and affect the stability of their power."

"Take those resources back. I won't accept them."

Zhou Liqing shrugged and put the storage bracelet he had just taken out back into his pocket. "You refuse their kindness like this, and your future life will not be easy."

"Hehe, the heads of those old guys have long been eroded by money and power." Nitia's eyes were full of disdain.

"She is really lawless. We have all taken the initiative to bow our heads. What else does she want?" The teacup worth hundreds of gold soul coins was smashed to pieces. "She is really an ungrateful person!"

"Fourth brother, there is no need to argue with a little girl." The old man sitting in the guest of honor seat said calmly: "Since she is unwilling to ease the relationship, marry her off as soon as possible to avoid the family from being in turmoil in the future."

The figure in the host seat did not object. Silence is sometimes an attitude.
