As Xu Qiuran's tired voice sounded behind them, Wang Baole and company stopped in their tracks. They were all shaken by her words. They looked at each other and fell silent. After turning around and cupping their fists again, Wang Baole suddenly spoke.
"Elder Feng, can you tell us the rules of the trial so that the three of us can prepare earlier?"
Feng Qiuran didn't say anything. She seemed to feel that there was no point in saying anything more. She waved her hand and gestured for the three of them to leave. Wang Baole wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he didn't say anything. He turned around and left Xu Qiuran's cave abode.
Feng Qiuran, who was sitting in the cave abode, watched as the three of them disappeared. She couldn't hide the exhaustion in her heart anymore. It surged through her entire body, especially on her face. Although she wasn't completely disheartened, Feng Qiuran had already done everything she could. She had especially arranged for her two favorite personal disciples to fight for the Hyacinthus tree leaf. However, this was already the limit of what she could do.
Unless she really fought with Annihilator and completely cut ties with him … she had no other choice. However, even if she fought, Feng Qiuran knew that there was nothing she could do, given the relationship between Annihilator and the Leisurely Taoist in this incident.
"Everything depends on fate …" Feng Qiuran muttered to herself. She knew that although her two personal disciples were outstanding, luck played a huge role in this matter. She was even prepared for failure. Even if she didn't fail, she didn't know if she would be able to completely resolve Annihilator's attack by giving the Hyacinthus tree leaf to the Federation Seedlings.
These thoughts made Feng Qiuran increasingly frustrated. Her exhaustion increased as well. She began to doubt the decision she had made back then and the persistence she had held on for all these years.
"There's no solution … unless the three of them can rely on their own abilities to enter the top three. Under the witness of the entire Vast Expanse Dao Palace, they can obtain a slot and obtain the Hyacinthus Tree leaf … However, with their abilities, how can they reach the peak of the six hundred people? Unless a miracle happens … "Feng Qiuran closed her eyes. She knew that she was daydreaming.
While Feng Qiuran was doubting herself and her alliance with the Federation, Wang Baole and the other two didn't split up after leaving her cave abode. Instead, under Wang Baole's invitation, the three of them flew towards Wang Baole's Green Fire Island. The three of them were deep in thought along the way, and no one spoke. When they arrived at Wang Baole's cave abode, Kongdao's eyes flashed. he was the first to speak...
"This is a little troublesome. Elder Feng is obviously unable to support the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. This is in line with the Federation's judgment. However, the Federation didn't expect things to change so quickly!
"Furthermore, it's obvious that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace is deliberately making things difficult for the Federation in this trial. If we don't obtain a slot, they won't allow the second batch of Federation Seedlings to enter!" Kongdao's face was gloomy. His emotions were stirred up by this matter.
"In fact, when I sent the cultivation techniques back to the Federation, I already sensed that something was amiss. The Vast Expanse Dao Palace's teleportation portal is obviously equipped with some sort of algorithm. The teleportation portal will automatically detect the cultivation techniques we send back. Simply put, it allows the transmission of cultivation techniques, but it doesn't allow any information other than the cultivation techniques to be transmitted!" Zhao Yameng's expression was calm as she spoke slowly. She told Wang Baole and Kongdao about what she had discovered over this period of time.
"There's such a thing?" Kongdao's expression immediately turned ugly. He looked at Wang Baole and waited for Wang Baole's decision. After all, Wang Baole was Kongdao's superior on Mars. He was used to listening to Wang Baole's orders. Here, Wang Baole was the leader of the group. Therefore, both he and Zhao Yameng were waiting for Wang Baole to make a decision.
Wang Baole's expression was similarly gloomy and solemn. In fact, in the past year, he had a deeper understanding of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace than the other Seedlings of the Federation. He had long noticed that Feng Qiuran's attitude towards the Federation was somewhat indecisive. At times, she was firm, and at other times, she was wavering. The reason for this was partly due to the different choices made by the cultivators under Feng Qiuran, and partly due to Annihilator's dominance!
It had to be said that Annihilator's dominance had won the approval of many of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace disciples. It wasn't just Feng Qiuran's subordinates who felt this way. Even some of Leisurely Taoist's disciples were gradually acknowledging Annihilator. The belief that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace was supreme was slowly becoming mainstream here.
This allowed Annihilator's influence to grow steadily. It was only a matter of time before he replaced Feng Qiuran and became the only voice in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. The Federation had also analyzed this point. Therefore, they had quickly arranged for this batch of Federation Seedlings to come here and support Feng Qiuran.
However, it was obvious that there wasn't enough time. The meaning and effect of this support couldn't be demonstrated yet. The current crisis was also obvious. If the three of them couldn't obtain a ranking in this trial, there might not be another batch of Federation Seedlings.
This wasn't the most serious matter. The most serious matter … was that once Annihilator became the leader of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, the next step would most likely be … a war between the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and the Federation!
Wang Baole had already thought of this point. Kongdao and Zhao Yameng had also thought of the same thing. Therefore, both of them looked anxious. However, there was nothing they could do. They could only look at Wang Baole.
"If that's the case … we'll enter the top three and get a spot. This is the most direct method!" Wang Baole muttered to himself for a moment. Then, a look of determination flashed across his eyes. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he spoke slowly. With the determination in his heart, even his voice was cold. This caused Zhao Yameng and Kongdao's breathing to quicken. Then, their expressions turned resolute.
"It's a pity that Elder Feng didn't tell us the rules of the trial … Therefore, in the next few days, we'll have to mobilize the connections of the Federation Seedlings to investigate this matter!"
"Yameng, Kongdao, the two of you have to make more preparations in the next few days. This time … let's see if we can shake up the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Also, I'd like to know if the Vast Expanse Dao Palace's prodigies are really stronger than the Federation!" At this point, Wang Baole's fighting spirit was raging in his heart. When his words reached Kongdao and Zhao Yameng's ears, they felt slightly more at ease. Therefore, the three of them discussed the details. Then, Kongdao and Zhao Yameng left.
After the two of them left, Wang Baole thought for a moment and contacted Xie Haiyang. He was prepared to spend his battle merits to buy information about the rules of the trial. However, Xie Haiyang didn't reply.
Wang Baole frowned. After waiting for a while, seeing that Xie Haiyang still hadn't replied, he decided not to waste any more time. He immediately chose to go into seclusion. While maintaining his cultivation level at its peak, he also began to make preparations for the trial.
First, he sorted out his Dharmic Armaments. Among them, the tri-colored flying sword and the copper coin rune soldier that he could control were the most powerful treasures he had. Although they weren't true ninth-grade treasures, to a certain extent, they weren't far from it.
Other than that, among the eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments, other than the ribbon that was similar to an eighth-grade Dharmic Armament, there were dozens of one-time-use treasures. As for seventh-grade treasures, Wang Baole also had some. Regardless of whether it was the megaphone or the flying sword or saber that he had refined, they could all be used as daily Dharmic treasures.
"Then there are the puppets … It's a pity that there isn't enough time. The materials for upgrading are too expensive, and the success rate isn't high. Otherwise, if I could upgrade the puppets to seventh-grade, they would be of great help in terms of combat strength." As Wang Baole shook his head, he sorted out the Dharmic Armaments. Then, he sat down with his legs crossed and began to think about his techniques.
The Thearch Armor that he had successfully cultivated could be used as his trump card. However, he didn't know the rules. Furthermore, even if killing was allowed in this trial, it wouldn't allow large-scale deaths. At the same time, the outside world would be watching as well. That would restrict him, making it difficult for him to fully unleash the power of the Thearch Armor.
"There's still the Thunder Avatar …" As Wang Baole pondered, he thought about his Dark Art and physical strength. However, he still felt that it wasn't safe. Therefore, after narrowing his eyes in thought, a cold glint flashed across his eyes!
"I should still use the Flame Snatch technique on the Thearch Armor to increase its combat strength to a certain extent. Only then … can I ensure that nothing goes wrong in this trial!" When Wang Baole thought of this, he immediately stood up and walked out of the cave abode. He grabbed the donkey and threw it into his storage bag without a word. Then, he dived into the sea of fire.
Using the Flame Snatch technique to cultivate the Thearch Armor required killing … Since there was no one to kill, Wang Baole could only enter the sea of fire and search for all the beasts that could be killed to cultivate the Flame Snatch Thearch Armor!
