I will use the game announcement to speedrun the Revival Era

Stone Qilin statue?

Yes.

Liu Qingyue and Su Han also found that secluded place by chance.

That place is the ruins of a powerful cultivation lineage from ancient times – the Ming Palace – and it is called the Sun Ruins Ruins!

The guardian of the Sun Ruins is a bronze black bird that can speak human language; it was this bird that led Liu Qingyue and Su Han to the ruins.

That ruin is very difficult to find, and even if you do find it, you need to challenge the stone statue of the Qilin! Only by defeating the stone statue of the Qilin can you qualify to obtain the treasures of the ruin.

Liu Qingyue and Su Han recently challenged the stone statue of Qilin, but they could only barely contend with it, and the longer it went on, the less they could defeat it.

As a result, all their challenges failed.

Now, they happen to run into Su Hao. According to his description, he has already killed a great demon and escaped from the attack of two great demons and another holy seed demon king.

Perhaps... he has a chance to defeat the stone statue Qilin?

Liu Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then said seriously to Su Han, "The stone statue Qilin is not as simple as it looks. Su Hao... may not be able to defeat it, but since it has been mentioned..."

"Su Hao, do you want to give it a try? If you can't pass the challenge, just admit defeat; there's no danger."

"A name with 'Qilin' in it sounds powerful. I'm not confident, but since there's no danger, I'll give it a try." Su Chen wasn't being deliberately modest.

The effects of the magical artifact, the Life-Giving Dragon Pearl, have already been used. It will take at least five days to fully recover.

During this period, using the Life-Giving Dragon Ball effect requires sacrificing a legendary quality spirit item!

Since I don't have any useless legendary-quality spirit items, this stone Qilin statue is most likely from the hidden area mentioned in the 1.2 version announcement.

That is, the ruins of the ancient, destroyed Daoist lineage - Ming Palace - Sun Ruins! It may be the white jade unicorn mentioned in the announcement.

As for how the white jade unicorn turned into a stone unicorn, strictly speaking, isn't white jade also a kind of stone?

Seeing that Su Chen had already agreed.

Liu Qingyue and Su Han led Su Chen to a secluded spot on Huazhou Island.

This place is bordered by the sea and mountains, yet it is also full of ravines, dense trees, and lush vines and weeds! After passing through a narrow passage, the view suddenly opens up, revealing a magnificent building that is in ruins. Its surface is covered with moss, but it still cannot conceal the grandeur it once contained.

When the bronze bird saw Liu Qingyue and Su Han arrive with their group, it was very wary. After carefully examining Su Chen, it breathed a sigh of relief and said...

"The Sunfall Inheritance can only be passed down to humans; those involved in the Ascension Gate are also prohibited from entering!"

"Senior Xuan Niao, we are all the rightful heirs of the human race. This Su Hao is my close friend. He would like to challenge Senior Qilin." Liu Qingyue's words were filled with respect.

"Sure, sure! Go ahead, but kid, that old Qilin guy is not easy to deal with, so be careful."

The bronze bird perched on a tree branch, showing no intention of watching Su Chen challenge the stone statue of the Qilin.

Judging from his cultivation level alone, he hasn't even reached the peak of the Soul Condensation Realm, let alone the Saint Soul Rank of the Soul Condensation Realm! Without reaching the Saint Soul Rank, it's impossible for him to defeat that old guy.

Su Chen understood its meaning, but still found it amusing.

Looking at the bronze bird alone, its feathers are rusted and it looks like a crow! In modern times, it would be considered an unlucky symbol, but in ancient times it was called the Black Bird, which had auspicious connotations.

"Senior Xuan Niao, let's go then."

Su Chen followed Liu Qingyue, her cousin, and they arrived at the dilapidated yet magnificent ruins.

suddenly!

On the open, hard stone ground, a stone statue of a Qilin descends from the sky! It stands two meters tall at the shoulder and is carved from bluish-brown stone. At this moment, its every move is both agile and majestic! It is impossible to tell that it is a carved stone statue.

Its limbs were thick and strong, its front and hind paws were extremely thick, and its golden pupils were sizing up Su Chen, who was brought by Liu Qingyue and Su Han!

"Little guy, unleash your full power and begin!"

"Um."

"I'm sorry."

Su Chen raised his hand, and lightning water condensed in his palm to form the Spirit Dragon Spear, the blade of which crackled with lightning.

When Liu Qingyue, who was watching the battle, saw the weapon that Su Chen summoned, she was immediately surprised. The spear that his secret technique had conjured had changed!

This brand-new spear has shed the characteristics of the dragon and has become significantly more powerful!

Su Chen also changed. He stood tall and straight, and his body was filled with a perfect blend of lightning and water energy, no longer in the previous state of separation between lightning and water.

The fact that there are so many obvious changes clearly indicates that... it is the result of another evolution of the physique!

"You can tell now, can't you?" Su Han said to Liu Qingyue in a low voice, very seriously: "Do you think Su Hao might have... some kind of ancient bloodline? Otherwise, how could he complete physical evolution so frequently?"

"this……"

Liu Qingyue was uncertain as she watched Su Chen fight the stone statue Qilin.

His eighth-level Soul Condensation Realm strength was fully displayed. His enormous soul body appeared, and he raised his arm to fight against the stone statue Qilin. He even seemed to have the upper hand.

"Very likely!" Liu Qingyue felt more and more that Su Chen's current combat power was too amazing.

No wonder he was able to escape from the siege of the three great demons!

She had no idea that Su Chen had stolen the sacred treasure of the Demon King in front of the three great demons; otherwise, she would have been even more astonished.

Su Han watched the battle unfold. Su Chen unleashed a thunderous dragon breath, the power of which was terrifying to behold.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens... Could we be going to win? That breath attack! If I knew how to do that, all those monsters would be dead!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Su Hao has a very high chance of winning."

Just then.

The stone-cast Qilin, unable to lift its head under the pressure of the thunder and water dragon's breath, spat out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Very good! But... kid, see my true form!"

The layers of bluish-brown stone on its surface peeled away, and its size shrank accordingly, while its body turned into pure white jade! Every inch of its surface was extremely warm and smooth, just like Hetian jade.

At the same time, a halo of illusory sunlight appeared behind it. It raised its front claws, each claw round and full, and gently slapped and pressed down on Su Chen.

In an instant, Su Chen felt as if he had been blasted away by a small mountain! It wasn't as terrifying as the previous Shangqing Ao Demon King, but it was still beyond his current ability to contend with.

Su Chen weighed the options in his mind.

Offering the Azure Light Sword or the Tiger Striped Cloak as a sacrifice to activate the Life-Giving Dragon Pearl and promote self-evolution gives you a chance of success of about 40%! Failure would be equivalent to rendering a legendary quality spiritual item worthless.

Having figured this out, Su Chen put away the Spirit Dragon Spear, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior Qilin, I concede defeat."

"Hmm." The white jade unicorn's body grew another layer of bluish-brown stone, and it nodded, saying, "You're quite good. Keep cultivating, and you'll be able to defeat me in no time."

But after you defeat me... whether that thing inside will acknowledge you depends on your fate!

Su Chen knew it was referring to the magic weapon – the Sun Void Spear! It was mentioned in the announcement.

Since the announcement mentioned it, I am certainly qualified to receive it, but for now, I should go back and digest the spoils first, and wait for the Life-Giving Dragon Ball to recover before challenging it again.

Su Chen, Liu Qingyue, Su Han bid farewell to the white jade unicorn and left.

As the three people left, the feathers on the bronze bird's eyebrows twitched, just as it had expected! But when it heard Su Han and Liu Qingyue's regret that they hadn't expected the stone statue Qilin to also have the form of the white jade Qilin, it became unsettled.

This kid, with his eighth-level Soul Condensation Realm strength, actually managed to force that old guy to reveal his white jade form! That's truly... incredible.

In this era of recovery and evolution, the growth rate of such geniuses will be astonishing!

When they meet again... will that old Qilin still be able to stop him?
