On the ancient greenish-bronze sword, on the main island of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, on the plaza at the peak of the mountain, the gigantic vortex in mid-air emitted a terrifying suction force. In the blink of an eye, the six hundred cultivators in the plaza were involuntarily sucked into the air by the suction force, heading straight for the vortex in the sky!
However, just as it was about to be sucked into the vortex, the vortex suddenly shuddered and split apart in midair at an extremely fast speed. It split into three parts, forming three slightly smaller vortexes.
These three black holes each released their own suction force, sucking in the cultivators from the three sects who were clearly separated from each other in the plaza. This way, the cultivators from the three sects would have a certain degree of safety when they first entered the trial grounds.
Dugu Lin and the others were sucked into the first vortex. Zhou Chudao, who represented the Leisurely Taoist Sect, was the third vortex. As for the disciples from Wang Baole and Feng Qiuran's Sect, they were the second vortex.
All of this took a long time to describe, but in reality, from the moment the vortex split into three to the moment the cultivators from the three sects were sucked into the vortex, everything happened in the blink of an eye. In an instant … the six hundred cultivators in the plaza had disappeared without a trace, all of them sucked into the vortex.
The three vortexes in mid-air also sucked in the cultivators from the various sects. As they spun, a large number of images appeared within them. These images were like surveillance cameras, displaying the figures of everyone within them!
As these figures appeared, the large number of Vast Expanse Dao Palace disciples around the plaza sat down cross-legged. They looked up and focused their attention, whispering into each other's ears. Clearly, they were all guessing who the top three would be!
They weren't the only ones. Even Annihilator, Feng Qiuran, and the Leisurely Taoist, as well as the Yuanying cultivators, quickly sat down on the chairs that the disciples had brought over, waiting for the results of the trial to be revealed.
Even though it would take a few days, to cultivators, a few days would pass in the blink of an eye. That was why they were very patient.
Especially Annihilator. He was so proud that he could only see the image of Dugu Lin. This was the trump card that he had risked everything to cultivate. It was also his trump card to suppress Feng Qiuran and the Leisurely Taoist!
"This branch is just waiting for Lin 'er to soar into the sky!" Annihilator murmured in his heart. A smile of anticipation appeared on his usually cold face.
As for Feng Qiuran, she wouldn't leave either. This trial was extremely important. Even if she wasn't confident, she still wanted to see the results with her own eyes.
Only the Leisurely Taoist remained smiling, as if he didn't care. After a few glances, he closed his eyes.
While the people in the outside world were watching, the cultivators in the trial had entered the black vortex. After a brief moment of dizziness and the teleportation, when everything in front of them became clear, they had already appeared in a strange world!
This world wasn't big compared to the ancient greenish-bronze sword, but it wasn't small for Earth. It was comparable to the size of the entire Earth. Mountain ranges crisscrossed the land, and there were seawater and forests everywhere. In the blue sky, there were seven suns. While they emitted light, they also made this world extremely hot.
At the same time, the light of teleportation shone in three regions of this world. As the light of teleportation disappeared in an area near a mountain range, Wang Baole, Zhao Yameng, Kongdao, Lu Yun, Xu Ming, and the other cultivators from Feng Qiuran's branch rapidly solidified until they were completely revealed.
As soon as they appeared, everyone's expressions changed before they could get used to it. This was because a resplendent key had appeared in each of their hands. These keys were very unusual. The fluctuations they emitted gave off a gentle feeling. It also seemed to have a certain stabilizing effect on one's cultivation.
With the appearance of the keys, the rules that Annihilator had mentioned previously appeared in everyone's minds. They immediately observed their surroundings vigilantly until they were certain that there was no danger nearby. Only then did they begin to adapt to the environment. As they looked around, they also observed the keys in their hands. Some people even tried to put them into storage bags, but they realized that they couldn't. They could only carry them with them.
At the same time, many people couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the ground and the sun in the sky.
"The ground?!"
"It's too real … This is the first time I've seen such a large piece of land …"
"And the seven suns in the sky. Is this the Illusionary Array Formation?"
As the crowd discussed softly, Wang Baole, Zhao Yameng, and Kongdao quickly gathered together. After confirming that the keys couldn't be put into storage bags, they each put the keys in their arms and looked around. For them, they had seen a lot of land and weren't as shocked as the Vast Expanse Dao Palace cultivators. However, the seven suns in the sky made them take a few more looks. At the same time, they transmitted their voices to each other.
"The rules here state that we have to be careful of anyone around us!"
"Later on, the three of us will move together. Don't follow the crowd!" As the three of them transmitted their voices, many of the surrounding Feng Qiuran's disciples also looked around. Their eyes flashed. Even though they were from the same sect, they couldn't help but be on guard. They retreated and put some distance between them. Some of them chose to fly out and run into the distance. Some of them pondered for a moment and decided to stay close to their close friends, ready to move together.
Just like that, more than a hundred of the two hundred people chose to disperse and leave the place. Feng Qiuran's personal disciple, Lu Yun, didn't even look at Wang Baole and the other two. He led more than thirty junior brothers who chose to follow him and left together.
Seeing this, Wang Baole and the other two looked at each other and retreated as well, intending to leave the place. However, just as they were about to leave, a person standing beside Xu Ming in a group of cultivators led by him suddenly whispered something to him. Then, he immediately turned his head. When he noticed that Wang Baole and the others were about to leave, he immediately flew out and rushed towards them.
"Everyone, please wait a moment!"
Because they weren't very far away, his actions immediately aroused the hostility of Kongdao. A murderous aura radiated out from Kongdao as he locked onto the newcomer. Zhao Yameng's eyes glittered brightly. She waved her right hand, causing a Feng Shui compass to appear in her hand, which pulsed with magical symbols.
Wang Baole was the only one who didn't seem to notice anything amiss. He simply turned his head to look at the newcomer.
The newcomer didn't slow down in the slightest, and only stopped when he was right in front of them. He was a young man, and his Cultivation base appeared to be in the early Core Formation stage. He was clearly in the same Cultivation base as Zhao Yameng and Kongdao, but the arrogance in his expression was obvious. Even the smile on his face couldn't be concealed. In fact, he gave off the impression that he was just being insincere.
"Fellow Daoists from the Federation, I am Liu Wenju!" As the young man spoke, he cupped his fists towards Wang Baole and the other two. He didn't wait for them to speak before he spoke.
"Fellow Daoists, this trial of the Thousand Illusions Ten Thousand Spell Formation is extremely dangerous. Furthermore, it doesn't just test one's Cultivation base, it also tests one's control over the rules. To be honest, the three of you won't be able to hold on for long, so could you please give your keys to Senior Brother Xu Ming?" The meaning of his words was clearly a question, but his tone was firm. It was as if he felt that it was only natural for Wang Baole and the other two to hand over their keys.
"Furthermore, I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but Senior Brother Xu has already promised his Master, Elder Feng, that he will do his best to secure a spot. As for the Hyacinth Tree leaf, Elder Feng will reward it to the Federation. Therefore, if you give your keys to Senior Brother Xu, you will also be helping yourselves." As he spoke, Liu Wenju smiled and extended his right hand towards the three of them.
When Kongdao heard this, he narrowed his eyes and looked towards Wang Baole. Zhao Yameng also seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this. The three of them exchanged glances and saw the thoughts in each other's eyes. Therefore, Zhao Yameng smiled at Liu Wenju.
"Senior Brother, I'm really sorry, but we would also like to share some of the burden with Elder Feng in this trial. Besides, this is also Elder Feng's request of us."
When he heard Zhao Yameng's rejection, Liu Wenju raised an eyebrow and sized up the three of them. There was a hint of displeasure on his face as he turned and left. When he returned to Xu Ming's side, he whispered a few words and pointed at Wang Baole and the other two. Soon, Xu Ming laughed and shook his head with an indifferent expression on his face. When he opened his mouth, his voice echoed in the air and fell into the ears of Wang Baole and the other two.
"Everyone has their own ambitions. Then I'll wait for you to share some of the burden with my Master. Haha! Take care!" With that, Xu Ming's body flickered, and he led the dozens of Cultivators around him and flew off into the distance.
