Besides Ye Hua and the guardian elder, Gui Ying and his son, Gui Wu, were also present.

After being frightened by the Starshine Unicorn, Gui Wu was teleported out, and a sense of unease filled his heart. This feeling intensified when he heard his father discuss the bet with Ye Hua. He hurriedly recounted everything he had seen of Long Haochen.

Gui Ying was also taken aback. If Long Haochen were to obtain a mount like the Starshine Unicorn, his son would stand no chance. Therefore, the father and son decided to stay behind and cultivate outside the Holy Mountain, waiting for Long Haochen to emerge and see what kind of mount he had acquired.

They waited for over twenty days. As the deadline approached and Long Haochen still hadn’t appeared, Gui Ying’s face was constantly plastered with a smile, and he would occasionally tease the anxious Ye Hua.

Now, seeing Long Haochen return empty-handed, Gui Ying felt immense relief and laughed heartily, saying to Ye Hua, “Brother Ye Hua, don’t forget our bet. I’ll be waiting for you in the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition. Wu’er, let’s go.” As he spoke, he deliberately had Gui Wu summon his Crimson Armor Earth Dragon, and the two of them rode away, Gui Wu sporting a look of disdain and arrogance.

A hint of anger flashed across Long Haochen’s gentle face, and he coldly watched the departing Gui Ying and his son, engraving this humiliation in his heart.

“You didn’t gain anything?” Ye Hua said with a touch of bitterness. He never expected his disciple to follow in his footsteps, and perhaps even fare worse.

Long Haochen lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, Teacher, I’ve let you down.”

The mountain guardian elder said in confusion, “With your talent, how could you have gained nothing? Are those magical beasts all blind? This is truly strange.”

Long Haochen smiled wryly, “I don’t know why either. I traversed the entire Holy Mountain and encountered many magical beasts, but none of them were willing to be close to me.”

The elder sighed and said, “You don’t need to worry too much. Warriors without powerful mounts can still become legendary figures. While mounts are important for us knights, they aren’t everything. What do you choose to do now? Either hunt for magical beasts yourself in the future, or try your luck here with me. But you must understand that to summon a mount using the teleportation array, you must first establish a contract during the summoning process. Only magical beasts that have a contract with you will be teleported here. We knights can change mounts, but to break an equal contract, the mount partner must die. Your teacher and I can help you with this, but if you do that, it will definitely leave a shadow in your heart and be detrimental to your future cultivation.”

Long Haochen said without hesitation, “Senior, I’m willing to try my luck here with you.”

The elder nodded and said, “Very well. But don’t have too much hope. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.” As he said this, he seemed to recall some past events, and a hint of melancholy appeared in his single eye.

A golden token appeared in the elder’s hand. With a wave of his sleeve, a golden light barrier enveloped the three of them. Six strange symbols appeared one after another above the light barrier, and the surrounding space instantly became distorted.

Long Haochen vaguely understood that the elder was using the power of the magic array and a special method to teleport anywhere within the Knight’s Holy Mountain. It seemed that their ability to detect intruders was also closely related to this magic array.

Golden light flashed, and the intense light forced Long Haochen to close his eyes. To his surprise, he discovered that the vortex within his chest suddenly began to spin violently, at least ten times faster than usual.

However, this process only lasted about ten seconds. The vortex’s rotational speed suddenly decreased and returned to normal. Long Haochen opened his eyes, and the surrounding scenery had changed.

They were now inside a cave, with pale golden gemstones embedded in the cave walls. The soft golden light illuminated everything here.

The light element in the cave wasn’t dense, far less so than in the Knight’s Holy Mountain, only slightly stronger than the outside world.

This cave was enormous. Looking up, the ceiling was at least twenty zhang above the ground. The entire cave was irregularly circular, and as far as the eye could see, its diameter was at least a hundred zhang, resembling a huge plaza.

But it was completely empty, with no one present.

Long Haochen looked down at the ground and was surprised to find that it was covered in trapezoidal grids, closely connected and forming huge concentric circles converging towards the center of the underground plaza. Each grid contained a symbol he didn’t recognize. At the moment, these symbols were dim and without light.

“Don’t bother looking. Not only can’t you understand them, but we old fellows can’t either. This is ancient elven script, the writing of an extinct ancient race. Our Knight’s Holy Temple’s ancestors somehow discovered its mysteries. Many parts of the Knight’s Holy Mountain’s vast magic array were completed with the help of the magical power of ancient elven incantations. This is one of the teleportation arrays. Through this place, you can instantly connect with other parallel spaces. Operating the array consumes a tremendous amount of energy, so you only have a quarter of an hour. If you can’t find an aura that resonates with you and establish a contract within a quarter of an hour, then this time, you may truly return empty-handed.”

There was some regret in the elder’s voice. Someone with Long Haochen’s talent was a rare sight in his life. It was truly a pity if such an outstanding young man couldn’t possess a powerful mount.

“Thank you, Senior,” Long Haochen said respectfully to the elder.

The elder nodded and said, “Go to the center of the teleportation array and sit down. After I activate the array, you will feel something.”

“Yes.”

Long Haochen followed the elder’s instructions and strode to the center of the underground plaza. In this area, there was a circle about three zhang in diameter, with the largest symbol in the center.

This symbol looked somewhat like the character “如” (rú), but it was distorted. For some reason, when Long Haochen saw this huge character, the Holy Spirit Stove in his chest pulsed slightly.

He sat down cross-legged, clearing his mind of distractions. This was his last chance.

Ye Hua’s tension was no less than Long Haochen’s. The veins on his clenched fists were bulging, and he didn’t even notice his fingernails digging into his palms.

The elder slowly raised the golden token in his hand. Ye Hua clearly saw that, in an instant, the elder’s right hand, which was holding the token, turned into a translucent, brilliant gold, as if his palm had turned into a gemstone.

Body of Radiance, the mark of a seventh-tier Temple Knight, transforming oneself into a part of the light element. Powerful Temple Knights can even transform their entire body into the Body of Radiance. In this state, they can instantly double the Holy Light elemental spiritual power they output. Although it can only be maintained for a short time, what does it mean to double both attack and defense?
