As the sneer faded, Li Yao did not wait for Yan Chutian to reply, and swaggered away under the smiles of the new disciples around him.
However, although Li Yao had left, the grudge between him and Yan Chutian had clearly accumulated to the extreme.
If they met in the outer court trial, there would definitely be no room for negotiation.
However, even so, Yan Chutian would not be the slightest bit afraid. Not to mention his attainments in the Array Dao, he had already reached the level of a Great Array Master.
Even if he relied on his own cultivation, he was confident that he could fight against Li Yao.
If they really met in the outer court trial, as long as the other party dared to look down on him, Yan Chutian would not mind letting the other party know what the price of such contempt would be.
"Brother Yan, I'm really sorry to have implicated you."
Beside Yan Chutian, Zhou Yuan said to Yan Chutian with an apologetic face. However, his current attitude was clearly much more sincere than before.
Previously, he had approached Yan Chutian because he was being ostracized and helpless, just as the former had thought.
But just now, Yan Chutian had actually stood up for him in that situation. This had greatly changed Zhou Yuan's impression of Yan Chutian in his heart.
Moreover, he actually dared to face Li Yao head on. Even if they did not truly fight, it still caused a trace of reverence to emerge from the depths of Zhou Yuan's heart.
Hearing Zhou Yuan's apology, Yan Chutian shook his head indifferently. Because honestly speaking, he was the one who had implicated the other party.
That Li Yao was actually coming for him.
Because of Li Yao's interference, the relationship between the two of them had become much closer. Thus, after the registration, Zhou Yuan immediately said to Yan Chutian in a soft voice, "Brother Yan, although that Li Yao is despicable, he has already reached the second level of Yuanying."
"So if Brother Yan really meets him in the training space, it's best to secretly avoid him."
Even though he knew that these words were unpleasant to hear, Zhou Yuan still had to say them. After all, he was now sincerely trying to befriend Yan Chutian, so how could he possibly feign civility.
Yan Chutian had more or less expected Zhou Yuan's words. He could understand this. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't believe that they could face Li Yao, who was on the second floor of the Yuanying Institute.
Therefore, Yan Chutian did not want to waste his breath explaining anything. He only nodded lightly, seemingly agreeing with Zhou Yuan's words.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan let out a soft sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that Yan Chutian would be too unyielding, and would not back down even if he clashed with Li Yao.
However, what he did not know was that Yan Chutian's true thoughts were not far from what he was worried about.
…
After the trial registration, there was still a long wait. During this process, the registration process continued, and the corresponding influential figures continued to appear.
After all, these influential figures could not always wait in the outer sect. There would always be some who were in closed door cultivation or doing missions.
After a full three days, the registration process finally ended. After the registration process ended, another three days would pass before the actual start of the outer sect trial.
During these three days, the detailed rules of the outer sect trial were finally completely announced. The outer sect trial was held in a training space.
Within this training space, Spiritual Jades had long been buried. These Spiritual Jades were formed from extremely pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
These Spiritual Jades had no use for cultivation. They were only used to assist in the descent of the heavenly lake after the trial space.
However, there was a limited number of Spiritual Jades. Therefore, the number of people who could obtain their assistance was naturally limited as well. In order to obtain them, one had to rely on one's own strength to obtain them.
As for the heavenly lake, it would only descend after all of the Spiritual Jades had been refined and absorbed.
This rule was extremely simple and clear. It was to rely on one's own strength to forcefully carve out a path in this training space.
This might sound extremely cruel to the new disciples, but the reality was as such.
The last three days slowly passed as countless people waited. When the last night of the three days finally passed, the entire outer sect's atmosphere finally became as if it was about to burn.
Streaks of light flew towards a vast stretch of mountain range at an extremely fast speed as the sun rose.
As far as the eye could see, there were already many figures surrounding the mountain range. After all, although this outer sect trial did not have any restrictions, not everyone wanted to participate.
For example, there were a total of about a hundred new disciples, but only a small half of them wanted to participate in this trial. Among them, the new disciples who were originally at the Yuanying stage made up the majority.
In the middle of this stretch of mountain range, on the vast cliff, there was a stone mirror floating up and down.
The stone mirror had two sides. One side was as bright as jade, while the other side was as rough as sand. This was the entrance to the training space for this outer sect trial.
On one side of the mountain range, a group of influential figures had already appeared. Ning Ruolan, Senior Xuan You Feng and the others, whom Yan Chutian had met that day, were all present.
Of course, the three of them were not the only influential figures.
When Yan Chutian and Zhou Yuan appeared on the mountain range, they were immediately locked onto by a pair of eyes.
In response, Yan Chutian did not even need to turn around to know that the source of this gaze was Li Yao.
This made Yan Chutian feel somewhat helpless. These enemies were always able to detect his presence at the first moment.
Yan Chutian did not look back at Li Yao. Instead, he opened his eyes and swept his gaze across the crowd of disciples.
As he looked again, Yan Chutian felt the pressure once again. There were nearly ten influential figures that had appeared, occupying nearly half of the top twenty spots.
Even though he was not weak now, it would be extremely difficult for him to obtain a spot in the top twenty from so many people.
However, it was good to have difficulties. Yan Chutian was very clear that only when he experienced danger would his potential be stimulated the most.
On the mountain range, the crowd did not have to wait for too long. Moments after the sun rose, several elders descended from the sky and landed in front of the stone mirror.
Yan Chutian did not recognize all of these elders. Only the middle-aged elder at the very back was recognized by Yan Chutian. This middle-aged elder was Wang Yang.
"Greetings, Elders!"
After the arrival of the group of elders, the surrounding disciples all had a tacit understanding and bowed together.
All the disciples bowed, and Yan Chutian was naturally no exception. However, the moment his body bowed slightly, an invisible force slowly lifted his body.
Looking over, it was obvious that the person being lifted was not just Yan Chutian, but all the disciples in the surrounding mountain range.
"Heavenly Source stage!"
This scene made Yan Chutian's gaze immediately turn towards the group of elders, towards the black-robed elder at the very front.
The black-robed elder was definitely a Heavenly Source stage expert!
The Heavenly Palace stage could be called an expert, and the Heavenly Source stage was the stage above the Heavenly Palace stage. One could only imagine what kind of power the Heavenly Source stage possessed.
The black-robed elder's display of power immediately filled the surrounding disciples with even more respect.
However, the black-robed elder did not speak. Instead, the green-robed elder by his side was in charge of the outer sect trial.
The green-robed elder was clearly an extremely decisive person. He did not say anything as he directly poured his power into the glowing jade-like mirror.
As his vigorous power poured in, the originally glossy mirror surface became as smooth as water.
The green-robed elder gave a light tap, causing the mirror surface to ripple like waves. As the surface of the mirror rippled, rich Spatial Energy began to spread. Clearly, the teleportation channel to this trial space had been opened.
After the teleportation channel was opened, the green clothed elder finally opened his mouth. "All disciples participating in the trial listen up. The trial space has already been opened. When you enter, a teleportation jade tablet will be formed in everyone's hands."
"So, if you encounter any danger, crush the Jade Tablet and escape via teleportation!"
The green-clothed man did not say anything else after his words sounded. The countless disciples who were waiting in the surroundings shot out like a wave and charged towards the mirror tunnel that was rippling on the surface of the water.
Zhou Yuan's expression grew nervous as he gazed at the flickering figures around him. However, when he looked towards the young man beside him, he found that the latter's face was completely calm, as if he had not been affected in the slightest by the surging crowd.
This made Zhou Yuan feel that it was indeed inappropriate for him to be so anxious. As such, he hurriedly calmed himself down and calmed his emotions.
