"If you can truly make the 'Upper' Stone Stele light up, I guarantee that our clan leader will definitely give you that chance."
Yao Cheng said.
"Really? Why is that?"
Wang Yuxian asked with wide eyes.
"Because this talent testing formation was left behind tens of thousands of years ago by that great individual."
"That is why it holds absolute authority."
"If you can truly make the 'Upper' Stone Stele light up, then not only will our Demon Spirit Clan not make things difficult for you, we will also treat you as honored guests."
Yao Cheng said.
"There's such a good thing? Then it seems like things just got a whole lot simpler."
At those words, Wang Yuxian even patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and said with a bright smile, "Chu Feng, you heard all of that, right? Whether we come out of this safe and sound depends entirely on you."
"I'll do my best."
Chu Feng smiled. Though the smile was faint, he was secretly thrilled inside.
Chu Feng did have a certain amount of confidence in himself. When it came to talent assessments, he generally always achieved the best results.
"If we can truly make the 'Upper' Stone Stele light up, that would be wonderful."
"But for now, let's wait a bit. Once they finish their testing, you can go test yours."
Yao Cheng said to the two of them.
Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian both nodded. After all, they had already planned this out before coming here.
They would wait first. If the testing ended and the Demon Spirit Clan members dispersed immediately, they could test in secret.
If the Demon Spirit Clan refused to leave, they would then take the risk and test their talents openly.
While waiting, Chu Feng noticed that in the center of the plaza, apart from the talent testing formation, there was also a stone statue.
The statue depicted an ordinary-looking man — plain in appearance, plain in dress.
But around the statue, not only had a small shelter been built to protect it from wind and rain, but in front of it, there were also numerous offerings of fresh food and precious natural treasures.
"Senior, who is that being being worshipped there?"
Chu Feng asked curiously.
What people worshipped was usually either their own ancestral master or some legendary Bodhisattva or deity.
But this one looked like an ordinary person.
"That… is the great individual who brought that immense power to our Demon Spirit Clan tens of thousands of years ago."
Yao Cheng said.
When mentioning that great individual, Yao Cheng's eyes were filled with reverence.
"So your Demon Spirit Clan built this statue as a tribute to repay that senior's kindness?"
Chu Feng asked.
"No."
"This statue is the transformed form of that great individual."
Yao Cheng said.
"What?"
"This is the transformed form of that great individual?"
Hearing this, both Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian were greatly shocked.
How could a person turn into a stone statue?
Furthermore, they could not sense the slightest trace of life from that statue. Even if he had been dead for many years, normally there should still be some lingering aura left behind.
But that statue was clearly nothing more than a chunk of stone.
"I'm not deceiving you. That truly is the transformed form of that great individual."
"Sigh, to speak honestly, our Demon Spirit Clan has wronged that great individual. We are sinners — we failed that great individual."
After saying these words, Yao Cheng bowed toward the statue across the void, his face full of remorse.
