Chapter 695: Chapter 689: The Trial
A group of people safely returned to the camp.
During this training, Ye Xuan had gained a lot, with the greatest gain being the Earth Emperor Book, followed by the improvent of his Cultivation. Even the Diancang Sword Saint was greatly amazed after seeing it.
Of the three training teams, it turned out that Zuo Lingyun’s team suffered the least damage, while Mu Yan’s team was left with hardly anyone. Even Mu Yan himself died in the Demon Ruins.
“Mu Yan seed to have entered the Demon Ruins too. How co none of them ca back?”
Diancang Sword Saint frowned. These people were all brought by him, and if anything went wrong, it would be his responsibility.
“The Demon Ruins are perilous, with many Alien Clan experts appearing. We barely escaped with our lives. It’s possible Mu Yan and the others perished there.”
Ye Xuan spoke indifferently.
“Yes, I also heard that so people saw Brother Mu Yan killed by the Martial Saint Gu Xuan. There were many experts from the Alien Clan, and we almost lost our lives at their hands.”
Knowing Ye Xuan’s intent, Zuo Lingyun also stepped forward and bowed. Naturally, they couldn’t let Diancang Sword Saint know the people were killed by them. Although Mu Yan deserved death, they couldn’t bear the sin of killing a fellow disciple. Now, blaming it on the Alien Clan was undoubtedly the wisest course of action.
“These scoundrels dared to be so rampant? They even dared to kill a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land?”
Diancang Sword Saint’s face darkened. He, of course, would not suspect Ye Xuan and Zuo Lingyun, and took their vivid descriptions as truth. However, he was still sowhat puzzled as to why almost all the people in Mu Yan’s team died while only a few from Ye Xuan’s side did, and Ye Xuan’s Cultivation had also improved a lot.
“Senior Uncle, do you rember the matter of the Shadow Alliance?”
Seeming to detect that hint of hesitation, Zuo Lingyun continued, “The Shadow Alliance colluded with the Alien Clan and has long intended to deal with us. Luckily, we had Junior Brother Ye with us this ti, who obtained the ancient inheritance from the Demon Ruins and resolved the crisis.”
“So that’s how it is, no wonder your Cultivation improved so much all of a sudden.”
With this, Diancang Sword Saint’s last doubts were dispelled. Now that he knew Ye Xuan had obtained the ancient inheritance, the latter’s rapid increase in strength was understandable.
“This matter won’t be easily settled by the Sect. We’ll head back first, and I’ll report everything that happened here to the Sect Master.”
Without any doubts left, Diancang Sword Saint waved his hand, signaling everyone to head back to the Sect first.
Matters involving the Alien Clan were never simple.
With that, the training ca to an end.
On the return journey, having the Diancang Sword Saint as a powerful bodyguard ensured no accidents occurred again. In just two days, the group was nearing the Heavenly Martial Holy Land. During these two days, Ye Xuan, using the power of the Earth Emperor Book, gradually refined the power of the Fire Fla Essence and consolidated his Cultivation.
Although the Fire Fla Essence was terrifying, he had already refined most of it, but there were still so remnants. These remnants were distributed in various ridians, and absorbing them would also bring considerable benefits.
A Sacred Body could only be tempered slowly. Now, he just needed to continuously refine the power of the Fire Fla Essence, which he believed would be enough to fully solidify the Sacred Body.
Once the Sacred Body was complete, he would beco a Martial Saint.
Arriving at the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, Ye Xuan followed Zuo Lingyun to exchange so Contribution Value. During this trial, he had obtained the inheritance of an Ancient Saint. However, Ye Xuan declared publicly that it was only the inheritance of Saint Bodhi and didn’t ntion Ancient Saint Yun Feng. After all, Ancient Saint Yun Feng was the possessor of the Earth Emperor Book, and revealing this could inevitably invite trouble.
As Ye Xuan and Zuo Lingyun walked along the road, they could hear various whispering discussions.
“This young man is the one who obtained the Ancient Saint’s inheritance, Ye Xuan? He is really lucky. If I had known, I would have joined this trial as well. Without going to the Demon Ruins, who knew such treasures existed there.”
“Yes, but I heard that this trial was quite dangerous. The president of the Qinghua Association, Mu Yan, reportedly died during the trial. If we had gone, there’s no guarantee we could have kept our lives.”
“You don’t understand, opportunities and dangers always exist together. It’s just because we always stay within the sect that our cultivation progresses so slowly. Look at Junior Brother Ye, he entered the sect later than us, and now he’s really making a splash.”
“Then we should also go on trials. It’s not the only trial the sect offers.”
Hearing these voices, Ye Xuan shook his head. Everyone’s path was different. Although it was true that opportunities and dangers existed together, countless people had fallen, only for a lucky few to seize the opportunities, while the rest paid with their lives.
Comfort had its advantages, and risk had its disadvantages.
“Senior Sister Zuo, could you tell about so of the trials at Martial God Mountain?” Ye Xuan suddenly turned and looked at Zuo Lingyun beside him and asked.
“Certainly,”
Zuo Lingyun had always found Ye Xuan mysterious. Now that his strength was unfathomable, she naturally wanted to build a good relationship.
“Martial God Mountain is the sacred ground of Martial Arts on the continent. Demon Beasts roam freely there, and it’s heavily prohibited. Moreover, it contains ancient Sect ruins, among which the most famous is the Martial God Hall.”
“In the Martial God Hall, there are inheritances left by many famous Martial Saint Strong People from ancient tis to the present. It is said to gather the martial fortune of the entire continent. If one can enter the Martial God Hall, they can obtain extraordinary opportunities. As for the specifics, I’ve never been inside, so I’m not too sure.”
Ye Xuan listened carefully, but soon he furrowed his brows. “Is it very hard to get into the Martial God Hall?”
“Of course.”
Zuo Lingyun’s beautiful face grew serious, “The Martial God Hall is located on the highest peak of Martial God Mountain. Every trial, less than one-tenth of those who participate reach the Martial God Hall, and just to enter, one needs to spend ten thousand points.”
“Ten thousand points?”
Ye Xuan was stunned. Was it possible that even with being first in the preliminary competition, he couldn’t even enter the gate of the Martial God Hall?
“Trial points can be obtained through various ans, and everyone starts with so initial points. The stronger your strength, generally, the more points you have. Even those ranked last on the Holy List have five thousand points.”
The top experts on the Holy List rely had five thousand points; it seed that the treatnt for people from the other Spirit Domains was quite generous.
“Apart from the Martial God Hall, Martial God Mountain also has other places like the Ancient dicine Garden, Artifact Pavilion, Martial Arts Hall, etc. The required points for these places are fewer. Often those who can’t enter the Martial God Hall will go to these places and obtain so decent treasures, which generally improve their cultivation significantly,” said Zuo Lingyun.
“It seems Martial God Mountain truly is a great place.”
Ye Xuan nodded his head in agreent, no wonder so many people were desperate to join the trial. Indeed, for the younger generation, this trial was an opportunity that ca once in a millennium. Missing it would probably lead to a lifeti of regret.
