Chapter 575 - 558: I’ll Remember You, Mo Family Divine Power Puppet

The loud noise from before was a phenomenon caused by the Celestial Sword Sect as they tried to breach the entrance to this Grand Array.

The commotion from their attempt was perceived by everyone in the Purple Void Secret Realm, who found it astonishing. As for the Celestial Sword Sect, who were facing the commotion head-on, their experience was naturally the most profound.

They had originally wanted to sneakily hoard all the benefits of this Super Array for themselves but, in the end, had no choice. They simply couldn’t stop so many other powers.

Since they couldn’t monopolize the prize, they had to open it to all.

However, they didn’t give up their head start. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have destroyed the Teleportation Array that led directly to the Solitary Void Trial Array.

At the entrance of the Solitary Void Trial Array, the major powers left a few people behind as backup before everyone else entered the Trial Array to face its challenges and seek the opportunities within.

Gu An, Yang Chan, and the others naturally entered as well.

This kind of Trial Array was the ultimate test of one’s Talent in Martial Arts Cultivation. It evaluated not just cultivation progress, but also Combat Power—it was a comprehensive trial.

The more stages one passed, the better the rewards.

Everyone assumed the best rewards in the Secret Realm were reserved for figures on the level of the Saint Sons and Saintesses from the major Holy Lands, along with the leaders of the great Imperial Dynasties. Most of these high-status individuals boasted impressive Cultivation as well.

After all, with the backing of so many Cultivation Resources, their Cultivation levels wouldn’t be lacking.

Yang Chan followed the crowd inside, but it was only upon entering the Solitary Void Trial Array that he understood its name. He was completely alone. The people who had been surrounding him were gone.

Though many had entered together, they had all been separated upon arrival.

A Token had appeared in his hand, engraved with the word ’Purple.’ This matched what he’d heard before: it was a way to exit the Solitary Void Trial Array, a life-saving measure.

If he sensed danger, he could simply crush the Token to leave the Secret Realm safely, avoiding any real harm.

This was just as Gu An had said: as long as you weren’t too greedy, you could make it out alive.

Before Yang Chan could even get a good look at his surroundings in the Solitary Void Trial Array, he sensed several wolf-like Exotic Beasts appearing beside him.

"This is similar to the Magic Array I mentioned before, Master. It’s an Illusion Realm trial. The Exotic Beasts around you are all illusory."

"However, empowered by the Array, they have been temporarily given solid form. So, if you get injured, Master, the wounds will manifest on your actual body!"

The Black Dragon’s voice echoed from within the Profound Yin Hanging Bead.

When he had first learned this was the Solitary Void Trial Array, the Black Dragon had his suspicions. This particular Grand Array wasn’t in his inherited memories, which meant it was clearly a Super Array specifically designed for this location. Such arrays were almost always used to select an heir.

While the arrays might appear different, their fundamental nature was similar. That was why the Black Dragon had voiced his speculation earlier.

Now that Yang Chan was inside the Solitary Void Trial Array, things were proceeding just as he had predicted.

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Yang Chan nodded. He threw a single punch at a lunging Wolf-shaped Beast, and it exploded on impact.

There was no spray of blood. The beast simply vanished as if it had turned to air.

It appeared to have flesh and blood, but it lacked a true physical body. This was the power of the Trial Array, allowing it to give the illusion a solid form.

Another one pounced, and Yang Chan’s sword immediately severed one of its legs. Though its movements were hampered, it remained just as ferocious, seemingly feeling no pain.

’So it really can’t feel anything. It’s just acting on instinct!’

His analysis complete, Yang Chan beheaded it with a single stroke of his sword.

As the Wolf-shaped Beast died, its body vanished once more.

After all the wolf-like Exotic Beasts were dead, Yang Chan saw a staircase appear in the space, leading upward.

These wolf-like Exotic Beasts were all at the strength of the External Refining Copper Skin Level. A Martial Arts Cultivator at that level, armed with a Sharp Sword, could basically handle them, as long as they didn’t get surrounded.

If you felt you were outmatched, you could simply crush the Token and leave the area.

"The difficulty of this trial isn’t too high. But going by this pattern, the farther up you go, the harder it will get. The challenges will require greater and greater strength."

This scene did not surprise the Black Dragon; it was all within his expectations.

As Yang Chan started to walk away, a common Spirit Medicine materialized in the space before him.

"A reward for passing the trial. Not bad at all!"

"Master, you should clear this entire Trial Land and take all the treasures inside!"

The Black Dragon said with a laugh.

"Perhaps you’ll even find a Great Shift Order in here!"

the Black Dragon continued.

Trial Lands like this often contained many treasures, some of which could be incredibly strange and rare.

What the Black Dragon couldn’t understand, however, was why such a Trial Land would exist within this Secret Realm.

If the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty had needed to recruit talent, they should have had a dedicated Trial Land for it. But that didn’t matter now.

The Purple Void Imperial Dynasty was long gone, so there was no point dwelling on it.

The thought flashed through the Black Dragon’s mind and was just as quickly dismissed.

"Master, keep heading up!"

the Black Dragon said after watching Yang Chan store the Spirit Medicine.

The reward was quite ordinary—just a common Spirit Medicine that could also be found in the outside world.

Then again, the trial itself hadn’t been very difficult.

’They’re all just Exotic Beasts at the External Refining Copper Skin Level... The only thing changing is their numbers!’

Yang Chan cleared several more stages in a row, slaying one External Refining Copper Skin Level Exotic Beast after another. His brow furrowed slightly.
