Chapter 397 The Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper

Chapter 397 The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper

Just as Lin Fei was talking to Xuan She, they were almost at the end of the road.

At this moment, the spirit of the black serpent spoke again to remind Lin Fei, "Be careful. This is a test left behind by the Emperor. Neither the spirit turtle nor I can help you. You will have to rely on yourself from now on."

If Lin Fei encountered danger elsewhere, the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle would naturally lend a helping hand. However, this place is a test left behind by the True Martial Emperor, and even the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle cannot break the rules set by the True Martial Emperor.

Lin Fei knew that this road was one of the most dangerous roads out there, so he didn't dare to be careless and walked forward with utmost caution.

……

In the blink of an eye, the road had come to an end, and what appeared in front of Lin Fei was a giant stone statue that was five or six meters tall.

The stone statue was shaped like a soldier, holding a huge spear, and looked very lifelike.

When Lin Fei approached, the stone statue suddenly emitted two beams of light from its eyes, enveloping Lin Fei completely, as if scanning him from head to toe.

Lin Fei felt a wave of discomfort wash over him as he was swept by the sharp light in the stone statue's eyes, as if his clothes had been stripped off and exposed to others.

Just then, two beams of light flashed, and the spirits of the Xuan Turtle and the spirit snake appeared simultaneously beside Lin Fei.

"These are the puppet immortal soldiers left behind by the Emperor." The spirit of the Xuan Snake said to Lin Fei, "They are responsible for testing those who come here. If they do not meet the Emperor's requirements or have the inheritance of other ancient powerful beings, they will be killed here and will not even be qualified to undergo the next test."

The usually silent spirit turtle spoke up, saying, "You possess the true dragon source energy left behind by the three ancient emperors, which may prevent you from passing the test of this puppet immortal weapon. Although we two cannot assist you in the next test, we can help you pass this puppet immortal weapon test."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The purpose of the True Martial Emperor leaving this puppet immortal soldier here is self-evident: to prevent other ancient powerful beings from coveting the treasures he left behind. Although Lin Fei possesses the True Dragon Origin Qi left by the Three Ancient Sovereigns, which should theoretically place him within the range of obstacles he cannot pass through, he has already obtained five pieces of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Stone Tablet and has gained the approval of the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle. Therefore, he doesn't need to worry too much about the puppet immortal soldier hurdle.

The Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle appeared simultaneously, blocking Lin Fei's path. The piercing light emanating from the puppet immortal soldier's eyes struck the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle, causing them to pause in surprise. The puppet immortal soldier, which should have been devoid of emotion and intelligence, suddenly showed a look of confusion in its eyes.

The puppet immortal soldiers were like a pre-programmed sequence, designed to eliminate those unqualified to face the next test. However, the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle carried the aura left behind by the True Martial Emperor, causing the low-intelligence puppet immortal soldiers to momentarily lose their senses, unable to distinguish between enemies and allies, and they froze in place.

The aura emanating from the Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle intensified, carrying a powerful sense of oppression. At the same time, the spirit of the Black Serpent spoke, "This person was brought by us. Let him pass!"

The powerful aura emanating from the black snake and the spirit turtle seemed to overwhelm the puppet immortal soldier's originally planned actions. After a moment of stunned silence, the huge puppet immortal soldier slowly stepped aside, adopting a posture of letting them pass.

These Xuan Snake and Spirit Turtle are indeed worthy of being the mythical beasts under the command of the True Martial Emperor. If it weren't for their existence, Lin Fei would probably have had to exert a lot of effort just to get past the puppet immortal soldiers.

……

With the help of the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle, Lin Fei successfully passed the checkpoint guarded by the puppet immortal soldiers. But for Lin Fei, the real test was yet to come.

Not long after passing the puppet immortal soldiers, a person appeared before them. This person was dressed in a white robe, holding a wine pot in his hand, and was sitting on the ground leisurely drinking wine.

Upon seeing Lin Fei arrive, the man merely glanced at him and slowly said, "Black Serpent, Spirit Turtle, long time no see. Helping others pass through trials violates the rules set by the Emperor back then!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei was shocked. It seemed that this person knew the Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle. Did that mean that this person was also a powerful figure from ancient times?

If this is indeed the test Lin Fei will face next, then Lin Fei will probably have a hard time passing it.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the spirits of the Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle reappeared behind Lin Fei and said to him, "Greedy Wolf Star Lord, the Emperor only forbade us from interfering with the test. This puppet immortal soldier isn't really a test, is it? Besides, with this kid's cultivation level, the puppet immortal soldier can't stop him at all. Why waste your energy there?"

"What you said is not wrong." The man chuckled, slowly stood up from the ground, and began to seriously examine Lin Fei.

As he sized him up, he said, "Since he has the two of you protecting him, it seems that this person must be the successor of the Six Paths chosen by the Emperor? It seems that he also has the inheritance of other ancient gods. Not bad, he can be considered a person blessed with good fortune."

As he spoke, the man tucked the wine gourd in his hand into his waistband, stretched, and said, "You two really don't give us seven brothers any peace of mind. Of all the paths available, why choose the one guarded by the seven of us! It seems you have a lot of faith in this kid's abilities. But don't blame me for warning you upfront, even if he is the Emperor's chosen successor, we, the Big Dipper Seven Stars, will not go easy on him. If he cannot pass the test, I will have no choice but to kill him right here!"

The spirit of the black serpent replied, "Since the two of us have chosen this path for him, it means we have enough confidence in this kid's abilities. Just follow the rules and don't give us any face!"

Hearing the conversation between the spirit of the black serpent and that person, Lin Fei was also shocked.

He felt the name sounded somewhat familiar when he heard the spirit of the black serpent call that person's name. Now, he could directly confirm the identity of the person in front of him from their conversation.

Lin Fei had already guessed that this person might be a powerful immortal under the command of the True Martial Emperor in ancient times. But he never expected it to be this person!

This person's reputation is so great that it even surpasses that of the Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle!

The first of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper is the Star Lord Tanlang!
