Chapter 248: Chapter 134: The Flame of the Lamp

Chu Jun sensed all fourteen doors, but none of them revealed the presence of demonic spirits.

"There are no demonic spirits inside?" Li Xiu frowned slightly.

"Maybe my Inspiration Skill is malfunctioning, or perhaps there’s something inside the doors affecting my ability to sense." Chu Jun recently doubted his own Inspiration Skill.

"There’s nothing wrong with your skill. If there were interference, you would still sense something. Have a little faith in yourself," Li Xiu said with a smile.

"This damned place, every step could be fatal. How can I be confident?" Chu Jun smiled wryly.

"I’ll go and take a look." Li Xiu thought for a moment, then chose the door corresponding to the E-level area and reached out to push the door open.

"Wait a moment..." Chu Jun was still somewhat nervous.

Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun, who grimaced and said, "How about I try to sense it one more time?"

Li Xiu stepped aside with a smile, and Chu Jun sensed the door several more times, but the result remained the same; there were no demonic spirits inside.

"Rest assured." Li Xiu held the still-sensing Chu Jun, smiled as he patted his shoulder, and directly walked to the door, pushing it open.

The ancient stone door swung open effortlessly, yet there was no light inside, everything was pitch black, not even the Dark Mirror could reveal anything in the darkness.

Under Chu Jun’s gaze, Li Xiu stepped inside the door. Despite the stark darkness, upon entering, he was greeted by bright lights, and the door behind him had silently shut.

The interior of the building resembled an ancient temple, directly facing the entrance was a Divine Statue. In front of the statue was a stone altar, upon which sat an oil lamp.

The shape of the oil lamp somewhat resembled the one that guided them to the Land of Trial, both made of metal, though the design differed.

Strangely, the flame burning on the oil lamp was an eerie Blood Red, painting the entire interior with its color.

The Divine Statue was even more bizarre, its appearance akin to a demonic spirit rather than a traditional Divine Spirit.

With an insect-like shell, it had no visible eyes, nose, or other features, only a mouth full of sharp teeth, bone spurs on its back, and a scorpion-like tail.

Fortunately, it was merely a stone sculpture, devoid of vitality; otherwise, Li Xiu would suspect it was a demonic spirit.

Other than that, the building contained nothing else.

"Could it be that this lamp is the tool for entering the next Land of Trial?" Li Xiu approached the lamp, examining it, and asked, "Can you hear me?"

Li Xiu asked a few more questions, but the oil lamp didn’t respond, clearly differing from the lamp that brought them here.

Li Xiu reached out to pick up the lamp; as his fingers touched the lamp, the Blood Red flame suddenly surged, like tendrils reaching for his fingers.

Startled, Li Xiu quickly withdrew his hand, causing the flame to contract again.

After scrutinizing the lamp for a while, Li Xiu finally realized what it was.

"This thing... isn’t it the energy given to me by the demonic spirit inside the Metal Coffin," Li Xiu thought, extending his hand toward the lamp once more.

His fingertips touched the lamp, and the blood-colored light surged toward his fingers, attempting to enter his body.

Just as the blood light touched his fingers, Li Xiu’s body burst forth with glowing light, transparent rays emanated swiftly, extinguishing both the blood light and the lamp’s flame.

As the flame extinguished, Li Xiu felt a change in scenery and found himself back at the door he had entered.

"Why did you come out so quickly, what’s happening inside?" Chu Jun hurried forward to ask.

Li Xiu described the situation inside, leaving Chu Jun puzzled, unable to determine what it was.

"If my prediction is correct, inside these fourteen doors, there are fourteen oil lamps. The lamp’s light is capable of transforming a Trial Taker’s body, granting them Light Energy akin to demonic spirits," Li Xiu pondered aloud.

Previously, Li Xiu received Light from the demonic spirit within the Metal Coffin, so he couldn’t accommodate any additional Light, preventing the blood-colored light from entering his body.

"Seriously? How come I’ve never heard about it?" Chu Jun was utterly shocked, eyeing the doors with eager anticipation.

Li Xiu held him back, and then turned toward another door, attempting to push it open, but it wouldn’t budge despite his efforts.

He tried other doors with the same result, even the one he previously opened now remained closed.

"Just as expected, it seems each Trial Taker can only open one door to gain the Light inside. I’ve already chosen one, so I can’t open any other doors," Li Xiu mused aloud.

"Why don’t I go in and try?" Chu Jun, now impatient.

"If you’re determined to try, I suggest you choose the door corresponding to the S-level area," Li Xiu suggested.

"Why?" Chu Jun asked, puzzled.

"Just a guess, perhaps the Light from the S-level area would be stronger," Li Xiu replied with a smile.

"Makes sense." Chu Jun shifted his gaze to the door of the S-level area, yet upon reaching it, he hesitated.

"A Trial Taker possessing Light Energy, is that really possible?" Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu, seemingly seeking reassurance.
