The Medallion

Chapter 1777 Clearing His Mind

'It seems that this is also a part of the trial, ' Rocky thought to himself. After briefly realizing the situation, he immediately calmed himself. However, things did not quite go as he expected. In fact, the more he wanted to calm down, the more his thoughts and emotions became disoriented.

"The Buddha's voice comes from the heart, and it has the ability to heal all creatures."

Out of nowhere, a voice suddenly echoed in Rocky's mind.

"The Buddha's voice comes from the heart? It seems that this voice is not from an external source. It is coming from my heart!" Rocky instantly came to his senses and added, "If one doesn't believe in Buddhism, then he will hear nothing!"

As Rocky collected himself and cast aside everything else, the voice suddenly disappeared from his head.

On the other hand, the other candidates were still affected by the voice and were struggling to figure out how to get rid of it.

Right after Rocky passed the challenge, he proceeded towards the temple to reach the gate and continue the trials.

However, the moment he got through the other side of the gate, he was welcomed by sharp, tall cliffs and countless mountains that surrounded the place where he stood. The scene was actually splendid, but he did not dare to be careless since he did not know what kind of danger awaited him.

After exploring the area for quite a bit, Rocky found that he was standing on the top of one of the mountains. Then, he saw a narrow path that seemed to lead somewhere.

Seeing no other way to proceed, Rocky ventured along this path and soon reached the end of a cliff.

At this moment, Rocky saw that there were already other people who came before him. Two high-grade and three middle-grade Spiritual Emperors stood there with restless expressions on their faces. It seemed that they were stuck and were not able to move forward.

They were sure that it was the right way, but there was no path to go forth.

"Maybe this is just a dead end. Should we go back? We cannot waste our time here."

"Really? We didn't see any other path aside from this one, did we?"

"I know. But how can we get over this cliff?"

Just as these candidates were close to going back, they were all surprised to see that Rocky also appeared to where they were. At the back of their minds, they were confident that the gap in strength between them and Rocky was huge. Hence, they could not fathom how he was able to catch up to them so soon.

Rocky knew what was running on in their minds, but he deliberately chose not to pay attention to their malicious gazes. Then, he looked intently at the cliff in front of him.

As he looked down, he saw that it was like an abyss that was covered with thick clouds. The nearest cliff from where they were was at least a few hundred meters away. However, since their spiritual power was suppressed right after they entered the Spiritual Divine Land, they would not be able to fly to the other side.

Then, as Rocky thought of what to do next, he was reminded by something that suddenly flashed through his mind. "If there is something in the heart, then there is also something in front of the eyes," he softly mumbled. Meanwhile, Colton and the other big shots were all paying close attention to Rocky's progress in the trial.

Right now, they learned that he had already arrived at the cliff. It seemed that they knew that this would be a difficult test for most candidates.

"This cliff is a test of the strength of one's will."

"That's right. It actually doesn't matter even if they were all high-grade Spiritual Emperors. If they don't have enough willpower, there is no way that they could pass this test."

"I have to say that the best way to deal with it is to make a detour and find another way. Although it will take more time, it is much safer than taking the risk of crossing the cliff!"

The elders of the Di Clan were very familiar with this cliff. Hence, they knew how difficult it was to get past it. Even they suggested that it was better to make a detour just to be sure. However, the dilemma of the candidates was if they had enough time to do that.

An hour later, more and more candidates began crowding by the cliff. The first ones who got there were still stuck, not knowing how to proceed from there. As the newcomers saw that even the high-grade Spiritual Emperors could not find a way to proceed, many of them shook their heads in dejection and felt hopeless.

However, just as when everyone felt that their only choice was to head back, Rocky suddenly made an insane move and directly jumped off the cliff.

"What the hell? Does he have a death wish?"

"Oh my god! He just jumped into the abyss!"

"He's out of his mind!" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

But the moment they thought that Rocky was about to die, a piece of cloud suddenly appeared beneath his feet, helping him move towards the other side.

When the candidates saw this, they were all astounded. They had no idea how on earth Rocky summoned a cloud that could carry him towards the other cliff.

"What is going on? Is this cliff fake?" "Maybe it's just an illusion! There is no way that he can stand on an ordinary cloud!" Some speculations began to circulate among the candidates after they witnessed Rocky's inconceivable stunt.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's follow his lead!" one of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors shouted and also jumped off the cliff.

However, after he stepped out, he noticed that no cloud was appearing beneath his feet. Therefore, he directly fell down and disappeared in everyone's view.

Seeing this terrifying scene, the other candidates, who were about to do the same, suddenly backed off. After all, their assurance that they could safely travel towards the other side just vanished before their eyes.

At this moment, Rocky had already reached the nearest cliff on the other side and was able to continue moving forward.

Not long after Rocky entered the second trial path, Valeria and the other girls also entered another trial path and seemed to be doing well.

"I wonder how that guy is doing..." Valeria murmured softly, a bit concerned that Rocky had to go on his own.

"Don't worry about him. I'm sure he's even doing better than us. I bet he's already waiting for us to catch up to him." Eunice had total confidence in Rocky because she had already seen him overcome a

lot of hardships before. In her opinion, there was nothing in the Holy Heaven Palace that could stop him from moving forward and reaching the end goal.

"I think so too. That's why we'd better hurry up. The trials are just going to get harder from here on. If we waste too much of our time, we might suffer some losses," Carla said, motivating the other two.

Eunice and Valeria understood what Carla meant, so the three of them wasted no time and continued with the trial.

Meanwhile, Rocky had already passed two more trials without much difficulty. Afterward, he happened to meet several Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual race, and it appeared that Seth was among them. He also noticed that there was a high-grade Spiritual Emperor in their group.

It turned out that they had been trapped outside the cave for about four hours already. There seemed to be an unbreakable enchanted barrier covering the entrance of the cave, preventing them from moving forward.

As the candidates of the spiritual race saw that Rocky was already there, they could not help but be surprised. They knew that they had been trapped for a few hours but they were sure that their progress was fast enough. Logically speaking, as a low-grade Spiritual Emperor from the human race, Rocky should not be able to catch up with them this soon.

Just like before, Rocky just ignored the unpleasant stares from these people. Instead, he approached the enchanted barrier and observed it carefully. Upon looking around, he concluded that the only way to enter the cave was to break the barrier first.

However, it would not be that easy. The spiritual race was known to be proficient at enchanted barriers. But even they looked so helpless and did not know what else they could do.

In fact, the members of Seth's clan were known as experts when it came to enchanted barriers and sealing arrays. Therefore, he had already mastered these skills to an excellent level. That was why he was so annoyed that he could not undo this one. Hence, if the experts were not able to break it, what more could the other Spiritual Emperors do?

Obviously, this trial was one of the hardest yet.

After a few glances, Rocky's eye narrowed and concluded that the enchanted barrier was indeed extraordinary. Fortunately for him, he had learned a lot from Esteban. Thus, he was a bit confident that he could do something to break it.

"There is something nasty about this enchanted barrier. I should have been able to break it easily..." Seth murmured in agitation. He had already tried deactivating it a lot of times but to no avail. No matter how hard he tried, he could not see through the structure of the barrier. No wonder he was so frustrated and disappointed right now.

"What should we do now? Even Young Master Seth cannot break it. This is impossible!"

"I know. If he cannot do it, then no one else can. I'm afraid that we might have to give up on this route."

"But we already lost so much time here. If we head back and take a detour, we have to take other trials again. We can't waste more time than we already did. But in the end, it will be up to Young Master Seth..." The candidates of the spiritual race still hoped that Seth could produce a miracle and break the enchanted barrier. After all, if he really failed to do so, they would have no other choice but to head back and find a different route.

At this moment, everyone could just look at Seth with expectant eyes.
