Chapter 1796: Chapter 1796: The True Trial

"A guy named Luo?"

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Just hearing these words alone doesn’t mean much.

But if added with a bell, especially the Ancient Treasure, Dawn Bell, then the answer becomes obvious.

Among the three who directly teleport to the end of the Cave Mansion, aside from this elder, the other one is Senior Luo.

Dean of Black Cloud Academy, Senior Luo.

And the last one among the three, a little girl?

Who is she, Xiao Yi has no way of knowing.

But from the elder’s words, that ’little girl’ might actually be an old monster who has lived for countless years.

When the elder spoke the last sentence, Xiao Yi’s face couldn’t help but twitch.

"The most useless reward?" Xiao Yi’s face twitched.

Meaning, he fought tooth and nail to the end, only to get the worst reward?

And what’s left after others have chosen.

The best two have already been taken.

"Alas." Xiao Yi sighed, his face full of helplessness.

The elder saw the look on Xiao Yi’s face, teasingly laughed, "What, are you very disappointed?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Yi rolled his eyes.

"Hahahaha." The elder laughed heartily.

"Young one, let me give you a reminder."

"Do you really think the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion is really a place where we outsiders can come and go as we please?"

"Do you truly believe that the methods left by the Ancient First Emperor are so easily ignored by us since he died?"

"That is absolutely impossible." Xiao Yi shook his head.

The Ancient First Emperor, even that Sword Emperor who once dominated the continent, did not have this title.

Yet the Ancient Emperor did.

Imagine what an extraordinary figure the Ancient Emperor was in life.

It’s not an exaggeration to say he was the greatest person on earth.

Such a character, even in death, the methods left behind are by no means ordinary.

"There you have it." The elder smiled.

"Also, do you know the difference between you and the three of us?"

"What?" Xiao Yi, already full of disappointment, directly asked.

The elder replied, "The three of us entered the end of the Cave Mansion directly through the Space Dao."

"But you are the only one in millions of ages who truly, as a young Heavenly Talent, passed through countless tests and is also the only one who truly broke the main formation and stepped into here."

"You are the one truly recognized by this Cave Mansion as a challenger."

Xiao Yi was stunned and thoughtful, "Truly recognized challenger?"

The elder smiled, "Simply put, we three just found a loophole to get in."

"Only you truly passed all the challenges left by the Ancient Emperor."

"In countless ages, the only one who broke the main formation, the only proud young monster to step in here."

"And don’t forget, those three items are just rewards."

"The Ancient Emperor left this Cave Mansion, is it just to give rewards?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi instantly realized, "Inheritance?"

The elder shook his head, "It can’t be called inheritance; it’s just that the most important thing in this Cave Mansion is the Ancient Emperor’s gift to those who pass the test."

"Where?" Xiao Yi’s face rejoiced.

Obviously, the real fortune of the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion is not the three rewards before the bed.

The real fortune is far more precious than these three rewards.

"Good boy, now you’re excited." The elder laughed.

"Look at your arm."

"Arm?" Xiao Yi looked at his arm with curiosity.

On the arm, a prohibition appeared in front of his eyes.

"It’s a prohibition." Xiao Yi showed a sudden realization.

This prohibition is exactly the prohibition owned by those leaders before entering the Cave Mansion.

"Correct." The elder nodded.

"You true Heavenly Talents, or rather true monsters, entered the Cave Mansion relying on this prohibition."

"From the moment you acquired this prohibition, it represented a connection with the prohibition at the end of the Cave Mansion."

"Your continual trials changed the prohibition on your arm."

"Only by truly overcoming the main formation and breaking the eighteen prohibitions there, can you truly gain the aura of the eighteen prohibitions, and only then have the qualification to participate in the test here at the end."

"Now, try to sense the prohibition on your arm."

Xiao Yi nodded, sending out his senses.

Indeed, the prohibition on his arm seemed like a prohibition within a prohibition, layered and mysterious.

And through the prohibition on his arm, Xiao Yi’s perception suddenly changed.

Swoosh...

The originally simple and ordinary room suddenly became vast.

The bed in front of him became enormous.

Xiao Yi looked up at it, saying this was a bed might as well call it a giant throne.

On the throne, majestic and far-reaching aura washed over.

That seems like a throne of an ancient Monarch Emperor, making one feel reverence.

On the bed, a prohibition suddenly rose.

The elder glanced at it and nodded, "That is the real test of the Cave Mansion."

"Whether you can obtain the true fortune of the Cave Mansion depends on your own ability."

Xiao Yi looked at the massive prohibition, drawing in a breath of cold air.

"Uh, Senior..." Xiao Yi turned back to look at the elder.

"You can’t trigger this prohibition?"

The elder shook his head, "No, the prohibitions and principles within the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion cannot be altered by anyone." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"I’ve also mentioned, we three are just exploiting a loophole to come here."

"The three rewards before the bed are merely rewards, for those who manage to reach the end of the main formation, given to young Heavenly Talents."

"So, the three rewards don’t have much prohibition power."

"We came, and with enough strength, forcibly acquired the rewards can be done with ease."

"But regarding the main prohibition and principles within the Cave Mansion, no one can deal with it."

"Main prohibition and principles?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

"Yes." The elder nodded, "Just like the real test here, we cannot trigger it."

"And also the main rules within the Cave Mansion."

"Like these three rewards, we come, we can take, but can only choose one."

"And once taken, one cannot take a second item in their lifetime."

"After taking a reward, it leaves an aura in the Cave Mansion’s prohibition, returning later, attempting to take another, will be blocked by the prohibition, and can’t be taken."

"That’s why there’s still one reward left."

"Unless, it’s someone who can truly pass the last test of the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion, gain recognition from the Mansion, only then can they take all three rewards."

"Of course, now that two rewards have been taken, there’s no point in saying more."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Then what if one forcibly fights against these main prohibitions, attempting to forcibly break them?"

"Or, forcibly triggers this final test?"

"Forcibly trigger?" The elder’s face suddenly became unpleasant and somber.

"The consequence would be like the old man right now, swallowed by the Ancient Emperor’s prohibition, forever trapped, dying trapped here."
