Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Easily Dealt With

The mont the gate to the Trial Secret Realm opened, four different colored tokens flew out from within.

Red, yellow, blue, and green—twenty-five tokens of each color.

As the Red Tokens flew out, Bai Qinying collected them.

She then distributed the tokens to the disciples.

Fang Yun received Red Token number one.

Fang Yun looked at the token in his hand and couldn’t help but think,

’This major Nascent Soul sect from tens of thousands of years ago must have been divided into four main parts.’

Dividing a sect internally creates healthy competition, which can continuously enhance its overall strength.

As the hundred tokens flew out, the gate to the Secret Realm stabilized.

The disc-shaped key to the Secret Realm floated above, and the Elders of the four major sects turned to look at their respective disciples.

They spoke in unison:

"Disciples, on my command, enter the Secret Realm!"

"Yes!"

The one hundred disciples rushed toward the center of the rocky ground.

Over with the Wind Ling Sect, the seemingly cold Lin Caixuan glanced at the Celestial Cloud Sect disciples as she headed for the center.

Her gaze lingered mainly on Fang Yun.

In this four-sect trial, theoretically, only Fang Yun of the Celestial Cloud Sect could threaten her claim to first place.

Xiao Lefan of the Vast Sea Sect noticed Lin Caixuan and saw that she was looking at Fang Yun.

At that mont, Xiao Lefan also glanced at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun himself could feel several gazes on him—from disciples of other sects, and even so of their Elders.

He didn’t need to pay them much mind. Once he entered the Trial Secret Realm, all he had to do was focus on finding and killing the energy bodies.

After all the disciples from the four sects had entered the Secret Realm, Feng Tianrui and the other three Elders started chatting again.

"We’ll have the results in three days."

"How about we have a little competition of our own?"

"How so?"

"We each put up so Spirit Stones, and then we divide the prize pool based on the rankings," Feng Tianrui said.

He felt that in terms of total points, their Celestial Cloud Sect could secure second place and contend for first.

"No thanks!" Wen Zhongyun, the Elder from Star Moon Valley, said, looking uninterested.

"Spoilsport."

...

「Inside the Trial Secret Realm.」

As he entered the portal to the Secret Realm, Fang Yun felt a wave of disorientation. When he opened his eyes again, his surroundings had completely changed.

He was in an area of low-lying jungle.

The one hundred people who entered the Secret Realm were all sent to different locations, separated by distances ranging from at least ten Li to several tens of Li.

The Trial Secret Realm was vast.

Before long, Fang Yun took out the map of the Secret Realm that Feng Tianrui had given to the Sect Disciples.

His current position should be in the southwestern part of the Secret Realm.

Based on its geography, the entire Secret Realm could be divided into eight regions, and he was currently in the low-lying jungle region.

After a quick look at the map, Fang Yun put it away.

He had to stay in the Secret Realm for a total of three days.

During these three days, he had to kill as many energy bodies as possible.

’The concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is even lower than in the outside world—so low it’s almost negligible.’

Fang Yun could understand this situation. The energy within the Secret Realm was primarily concentrated in the energy bodies.

The low concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi made it difficult to recover Spiritual Power. Normally, one could use Spirit Stones to do so. In a hurry, one could use faster-acting pills, refining their dicinal properties and converting them into a large amount of Spiritual Power.

Ti to move out!

Fang Yun chose a direction and imdiately burst forward at his top speed.

With the boost from his three-star Combat Talent, using the Upper Grade shoe-type Magical Artifact consud a pitifully small amount of his Spiritual Power.

Compared to when he was at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, now at the Ninth Layer, his Spiritual Power consumption was even lower, while his total Spiritual Power had increased.

「Half a quarter hour later.」

Fang Yun stopped in his tracks.

At this very mont, he had already entered a state of combat.

He could clearly sense the source that had put him in this state.

’Ninety-nine percent chance it’s an energy body.’

Fang Yun thought to himself. Aside from the sensation of entering a combat state, he hadn’t detected anything.

At the very beginning, if Cultivators from two different sects t, they generally wouldn’t fight. The other person wouldn’t have any points, so even defeating them would yield no reward.

It was worth noting that you could only gain points by defeating an opponent who had two or more points. Defeating soone with one point was the sa as defeating soone with zero.

Fang Yun slightly changed direction and once again burst forward at top speed.

He saw it!

A Tiger Demon ford from an energy body.

At the sa ti, Fang Yun also sensed that this was a low-level energy body.

From this, Fang Yun could tell that in the Trial Secret Realm, even a low-level energy body’s ability to detect his presence was superior to his own perception.

This was good news for Fang Yun.

It ant he didn’t have to worry about missing energy bodies while moving quickly. As long as an energy body detected him, he would imdiately enter a combat state and know the direction of the source.

The low-level energy body manifested as a Tiger Demon and lunged at Fang Yun.

"Go!"

Fang Yun slapped his Storage Pouch, and a Yellow Iron Sword shot out instantly.

The Yellow Iron Sword pierced through the Tiger Demon manifestation, and the energy body shattered in an instant, turning into two streams of energy that flew toward Fang Yun.

An easy kill.

For the four-sect trial, he had specially refined three identical Upper Grade Yellow Iron Swords. These swords dealt significant damage to energy bodies, and with the boost from his three-star Combat Talent, dealing with them was a breeze.

He had only used a tiny bit of Spiritual Power to destroy the low-level energy body, and he hadn’t even unleashed the Yellow Iron Sword’s full power.

Of the two different streams of energy, one entered Fang Yun’s body.

It was incredibly pure Spiritual Qi. Fang Yun imdiately activated his Cultivation Technique and, in less than three breaths, effortlessly converted this pure Spiritual Qi into his own Spiritual Power.

’My Cultivation increased a tiny bit.’

Although the increase was small, it was still an increase. As long as he killed enough energy bodies, the ti it would take him to reach the peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining would be significantly shortened.

Fang Yun glanced at the Red Token at his waist.

On the front of the Red Token, it now showed that he had obtained one point.

The other stream of energy was what made the display on the token change.

"Onward!"

Fang Yun continued in the sa direction, once again bursting forward with astonishing speed.

As long as he was fast enough and killed enough energy bodies, first place in this four-sect trial was practically guaranteed. Plus, it would grant him a considerable boost to his Cultivation.

...

"Whew! These energy bodies are much harder to kill than Demon Beasts."

In a stretch of desert, Wu Junxin sat down cross-legged to refine and absorb the energy that had entered his body.

Demon Beasts all have weak spots, but the beasts manifested by these energy bodies simply don’t have those flaws.

Although the energy bodies couldn’t replicate the strengths of Demon Beasts or unleash greater destructive power, this was a competition to kill energy bodies, not to see who could last longer against their attacks.

"The pure Spiritual Qi provided by a mid-level energy body is much more than what a low-level one gives."
