Su Yu naturally rembered, precisely because of this, he had taken a few extra glances at the fierce-looking girl ahead.
Being ranked on the True Martial Immortal Court’s elite trial roll was undoubtedly indicative of a real monster talent.
Besides, despite Nangong Miao only being at the peak of the Dividing Spirit Realm in terms of cultivation, the Nangong Family was a hidden Beast Taming great clan.
Who knew what kind of beasts Nangong Miao had under her control?
The Nangong Miao ahead seed to have noticed sothing and turned her head to glance back at Su Yu and the Tianxu Hall Master behind her. A mysterious light flashed in her eyes, filled with a trace of surprise.
It seed, she couldn’t see through them?
Nangong Miao gave Su Yu a deep look, nodded slightly, and continued walking forward.
In the center of Antarctic Immortal City, and outside of the South Pole Immortal Palace where one registers information, the true beginning of the trial was still about half a month away.
To cultivators, half a month’s ti would pass in the blink of an eye, so most cultivators, including Su Yu, were simply standing there.
Several days later, a wave of clamor suddenly erupted from the crowd outside.
"Shan Tianfu!"
"The Shan Tianfu who ranks third on the elite trial roll, what brings him to Antarctic Immortal City!"
"Hiss, his presence is tinged with such a heavy aura of Evil Qi!"
A group of people dispersed to either side, forming a path leading forward.
Su Yu saw a tall and burly youth dressed in blood armor, grasping a long-handled blood axe, and emanating an aura of overwhelming Evil Qi, slowly approaching. Behind him seed to form a sea of blood, horrific to the extre. The fierce might emanating from him made everyone nearby feel uneasy and afraid. Su Yu was sowhat taken aback, smiling faintly as he stepped aside along with the other cultivators.
But as the blood-armored youth passed by Su Yu, he suddenly frowned, stopped in his tracks, and turned to look at Su Yu.
Locking eyes with Su Yu, the light in the blood-armored youth’s eyes condensed into a fierce glare. The blood axe in his hand trembled slightly, as if it were roaring with thousands of ferocious beasts. However, the next mont, he suppressed the fierce light, and whispered in a low voice, "You, are quite interesting!"
The blood-armored youth continued forward, registered his information, and received a Trial Token, then simply waited beside for the appointed ti to arrive.
anwhile, the cultivators next to Su Yu showed faces full of astonishnt, gazing at him. Then, suddenly, they all retreated from around Su Yu, creating a void around him.
Su Yu: "...."
He shook his head gently, and just as he was about to close his eyes to ditate, a young man in a white robe approached with several companions.
The young man in the white robe gazed at Su Yu, managing to sense only the aura of the Dividing Spirit Realm from Su Yu. He asked with a light smile and a furrowed brow, "Fellow Daoist seems unfamiliar to , may I know whence you ca and which family you hail from?"
Su Yu opened his eyes and imdiately recognized the identity of the young man in the white robe, the prodigious genius ranked ninth on the trial roll, a descendant of Commandant Baili from the family of the Antarctic Immortal Army within the Antarctic Fairy Territory - Baili Qinglong.
Immortal Army Commandant Baili, as a Dao Monarch, was at least among the top three in stature within the Antarctic Fairy Territory, arguably the right-hand of the Master of South Pole.
Naturally, Baili Qinglong had also beco a personage of interest in Antarctic Immortal City.
Su Yu chatted idly with him, revealing not too much about himself. After a short while, Baili Qinglong left with his companions, seemingly uninterested.
After they left, one of the companions beside Baili Qinglong displayed a discontent expression, transmitting via voice, "Brother Qinglong, that person seems sowhat tactless, daring to brush us off."
Baili Qinglong’s expression unchanged, he replied indifferently, "The trial is about to begin."
When the trial comnces, fate shall decide life and death.
Half a month’s ti quickly elapsed.
That day.
As the gloomy sky gradually began to shine with a golden light, nine ’suns’ above blazed brilliantly, illuminating the entire ancient land of True Martial Immortal Court.
A terrifying aura slowly erged from the front of the True Martial Immortal Palace.
The massive crowd outside, filled with tens of thousands of elite immortals, stirred, all turning to look towards the South Pole Immortal Palace.
In an instant, a middle-aged man in a black robe appeared before everyone, dressed elegantly, holding a book and a dust whisk.
The mont he appeared, an imnse Immortal Might enveloped the entire area, silencing all present.
Su Yu, feeling the oppressive Immortal Might bearing down on him, thought to himself with a slight inhale, "Is this what a Fusion Realm Dao Monarch feels like?"
With the arrival of this figure, it seed as though the surrounding Cultivation World itself had changed.
This feeling was akin to them no longer being in the familiar Cultivation World—
But rather, they had fallen into his world!
He constituted a path in himself, a realm unto himself!
In such a Dao realm, their perception of the Heaven and Earth Dao weakened a great deal, to the extent that it was very likely they couldn’t harness the Power of the Grand Dao for their own use.
That is to say, in the face of the Dao realm of a Fusion Realm Dao Monarch, the powers of the Grand Dao relied upon by those in the Nascent Soul Realm, Dividing Spirit Realm, and Hollow Void Realm would all turn to nothing.
While they wouldn’t beco as frail as those in the Core Formation Realm, without a doubt, without the amplification of the Grand Dao’s power.
Their strength had essentially been rendered more than half useless.
And this was but one aspect of the disparity between them and a Fusion Realm Dao Monarch.
The middle-aged Dao Monarch appeared, glanced through the to in his hands to check the numbers, and then swept his gaze over Shan Tianfu, Baili Qinglong, Nangong Miao, and others.
Subsequently, he closed the to, and with an indifferent expression, said, "This ti, a total of thirteen thousand eight hundred and forty-seven cultivators are participating in the trial."
"Perhaps so of you do not know the manner of trial for the Antarctic Fairy Territory this ti, so let put it simply."
"Within the trial heavens of the Antarctic Fairy Territory, those who persist to the final one thousand will have the qualifications to participate in the assessnt trial of the South Pole Immortal Palace, or join the Immortal Army of the South Pole, or join the South Pole Immortal Palace itself."
"And those who persist to the final one hundred will have the qualifications to proceed to the True Martial Immortal Palace for the final trial."
"Each of you has a Trial Token in your possession, eliminate your opponents, or force them to give up and exit the trial on their own, and you can eliminate a candidate."
"The final ranking of the trial shall be determined according to the number of people eliminated."
"Lastly, a word of advice. Life and death are predestined in the trial heavens. If you don’t want to lose your life, then withdraw now and go back ho to cultivate."
There was so disturbance at the scene, but still, no eminent talents chose to withdraw.
Cultivation itself was an act of defiance against the heavens, battling with heaven, with people, with fate.
If one didn’t wish to beco an insignificant speck of dust under the long river of ti, the only option was to rise up and fight against the tide.
In this process, inevitably so would beco stepping stones for others.
Who didn’t co prepared for this?
The middle-aged Dao Monarch’s expression remained unchanged as the to in his hands flew into the sky above the Antarctic Immortal City. Accompanied by the terrifying outburst of Immortal Might, the to opened, unleashing a powerful suction force towards countless prodigious young cultivators below, swallowing them.
’Is this to the trial heaven?’ Su Yu thought with so astonishnt, he had assud the trial heaven was located elsewhere.
Who would have thought the to in the hands of that Dao Monarch was where the trial heaven resided!
He did not resist.
In an instant.
All the registered young prodigious cultivators in front of the South Pole Immortal Palace had been swallowed by the to, which closed its pages and returned to the hands of the middle-aged Dao Monarch.
The middle-aged Dao Monarch, carrying the to, walked into the South Pole Immortal Palace. In the great hall of the Immortal Palace, the Master of the South Pole, the Immortal Army Commander, and a group of Elders had all gathered together.
After the middle-aged Dao Monarch returned, he placed the to at the center of the great hall, and the gaze of everyone there fell upon the to.
Through the spatial barriers of the to, they could all see the silhouettes of the prodigious young cultivators within the heavenly trial.
An elderly man with white hair said with interest, "I wonder how many young talents will stand out this ti?"
A relatively young and aloof fairy replied coldly, "Don’t expect too much. Nowadays, the Cultivation World is in decline year by year. Even if we select so, they are rely slightly better cannon fodder."
A person nearby frowned slightly and spoke up, "That’s not necessarily true. Commander Baili’s kid has decent talent."
"And there’s Shan Tianfu, along with a few others on the list of prodigious trial talents, who all have the potential to achieve the realm of Dao Monarch."
The fairy scoffed and said, "Is it Dao Monarchs that we need? Upon becoming a Dao Monarch, trash remains trash! Without transcendent innate talent, without an invincible stature, all are trash!"
At this remark, the atmosphere in the hall turned sowhat unpleasant; they knew she was bitterly blunt, but did she have to be so direct?
