The third trial that Wang Daojun had proposed was impossible for anyone else, but it was not the case for Ji Dong. His dead lover was the true emperor of the Core World!
Because of this, the Heavenly Stems Holy Disciples and Zhou Xiaoxiao had strange expressions on their faces when they heard this condition. They looked at Ji Dong at the same time. Chen Sixuan's expression was the most interesting. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. She did not expect that the third condition was for Ji Dong to retrieve some Geocentric Crystal Rock from the Core World. The so-called Geocentric Crystal Rock was any of the rocks around the Core Lake. Even though Ji Dong could no longer teleport back, was there anyone in this world who knew the Core World better than her? With her help, in addition to the strength of Ji Dong and the Heavenly Stems Holy Disciples, the Flaming Bar had absolute confidence in leading Ji Dong back to the Core Lake. It should not be forgotten that Ji Dong had inherited the powers and skills of the two Lords. The creatures of the Core World were more familiar with the two Lords than the Queen of the Flaming Bar. After all, the two Lords had ruled them for a long time.
A ray of light flashed across Ji Dong's eyes. He slowly stood up and glanced at the faces of the councilors. Finally, his gaze landed on Wang Daojun's face. He nodded and said, "Alright, I accept these two tests."
Ji Dong's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to shock them. I accept. These were only four words, but in the ears of these foolish rich Councilors, it was like a thousand catties. Of course, they didn't think that Ji Dong didn't know the difficulty of these two tests. He agreed, he actually agreed. All the Councilors knew that if Ji Dong bargained at this time, it would definitely make his test easier. At the very least, it would reduce the difficulty. But he didn't do that, he just agreed with a firm tone. What kind of confidence and courage was this? He had already been accepted by the councilors. This time, the councilors nodded their heads in approval.
Zhou Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, "Ji Dong, you have to think this through. There is no turning back now."
Ji Dong said indifferently, "I've already thought it through. The Dragon Valley and the core are places that I must go to."
Only then did Wang Daojun come to his senses. He was overjoyed. He didn't think that Ji Dong would take the initiative to agree, so he hurriedly said, "You don't have to be in a hurry, Mr. Ji Dong. As long as you can complete these two tests within five years, you'll be considered to have passed the examination. When that time comes, I believe that no councilman will question your right to inherit the throne, and Mr. Ji Dong will become one of the most outstanding presidents in the history of our Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce. Oh, right, we'll provide you with a map of the Dragon Valley and a way to enter the core world."
Ji Dong said, "I know where the Dragon Valley is. As for how to enter the core, I'll have to ask." He had the guide scale left behind by the Fire Dragon King, so he naturally knew how to get to the Fire Dragon Valley. As for the core, the only way he knew was through the Frost Mountain Range, which was guarded by the Frost Dragon Feng Shuang. Feng Shuang could be said to be the greatest enemy of the Fire Dragon King. But no matter what, Maotai and Wuliangye were safe. He himself had been soaked in Feng Shuang's dragon blood before. If it was not necessary, he did not want to kill Feng Shuang and enter the core. He believed that Feng Shuang would not dare to let him in. Moreover, he still had to bring the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples into the core.
After hearing Ji Dong's words, Wang Daojun suddenly had a bad feeling. Could this brat really be able to complete these two inhuman tests? However, this thought only flashed through his mind. He thought to himself, "If that's really the case, then I'll accept it wholeheartedly."
"Since mister Ji Dong knows where the Dragon Valley is, that's for the best. As for the entrance to the core, according to what we know, there's one at the top of the Almans Mountains in the Southern Fire Empire. It's guarded by a powerful Class 10 Golden Crow."
This time, even Ji Dong could not help but feel rather surprised. He looked at Wang Daojun and thought to himself, "It can't be that coincidental, right?"
Wang Daojun feigned concern, "The Three-legged Golden Crow is extremely powerful. It's known as the Sun's Child and possesses the purest, ultimate Yang Fire. Mister Ji Dong, you must be careful when you get there." Only those who were familiar with him could see the schadenfreude in his eyes. However, the schadenfreude completely disappeared in the next moment.
"We killed the Three-legged Golden Crow long ago. Since that's the entrance, it looks like I need to hurry over, just in case the creatures of the core charge over."
"What did you say!? You killed the Three-legged Golden Crow? "Wang Daojun stared blankly at Ji Dong.
Ji Dong replied, "Of course it wasn't just me. I had the help of my companions. The chairman is right. The Three-legged Golden Crow really is very powerful. Since the top of the Almans Mountains is one of the entrances to the core, it'll be even easier. I'll complete these two trials as soon as possible. If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave." With that, Ji Dong stood up and nodded at the other councilors before striding away. The Heavenly Stem Holy Followers followed behind him.
The fatty's gaze moved up and down Wang Daojun's body for a moment. He nodded firmly and said, "Chairman, you're really selfless. One of the Chamber of Commerce's three divine weapons is with me, and the other two are in the highest treasury. Chairman, you should prepare them as soon as possible. When Ji Dong and the others return, you'll be able to take them out." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Wang Daojun stared at Zhou Xiaoxiao's departing figure. He knew that regardless of whether Ji Dong passed the test or not, his authority in the Chamber of Commerce would suffer a huge blow. However, he had no other way out. The only thing he could do now was to pray that Ji Dong died in either of the two Dragon Valleys or the core world.
After returning to his abode, Ji Dong and his companions gathered in a pavilion in the courtyard.
Yun Tianji said, "Master, what do you plan to do? Since the chairman said that you can find someone to help you, we'll naturally advance and retreat together. "
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao walked in from outside. He was only a step behind. He said, "Ji Dong, why are you in such a hurry to agree? Can't you see that as long as I intervene, the difficulty of your trials will decrease?"
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Of course I know that. However, this is the difficulty I want. Fatty, how many things do you think are difficult for us on the mainland? You should know that the Fire Dragon King is the magical beast companion of my grandmaster. Furthermore, it is also the mother of my magical beast companions, Maotai and Five Grain Liquor. I have already made an appointment with the Fire Dragon King to go to the Dragon Valley. There are only a few of us Heavenly Stem Saints who have magical beast companions. This time, we can go to the Dragon Valley to find a dragon that is suitable for us. After all, we don't have time to find a magical beast that is more suitable than a dragon. With the Fire Dragon King around, I think the difficulty of the second test will definitely be reduced, and the core world is the best place for training. I have been to the core world before, and it is also where my lover lives. I will go there sooner or later. This time, I must bring my companions into the core world and go through layers of training to raise our strength. Raging Flame is gone, and there is no longer a ruler in the core world. However, I do not wish for there to be chaos. For Raging Flame, I must also maintain the peace in the core world. I must complete this matter before the start of the Sacred War between the two continents. Perhaps, the power of the core world can also be used to deal with the darkness of the Five Elements Continent. "
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, "Kid, you really don't give yourself any time to breathe!"
Ji Dong said, "It's not that I don't want to give myself time to breathe, but I can't. The Heavenly Stems Holy Disciples have all ten Divine Weapons, and the Dark Divination even has the power of the Four Great Sacred Beasts. Our current strength is far from enough to go against them. If we don't improve our strength as soon as possible, how are we going to face future dangers? Even without your test this time, the core world is still my goal. It's also the second-to-last trial for me and my companions. After the trial in the core world, I have an even more dangerous place to go. Before that, I have to increase my companions' strength as much as possible. "
"More dangerous? There's a place more dangerous than the core world? Why don't I know about it? "Zhou Xiaoxiao exclaimed.
Ji Dong said, "You will know in the future."
Zhou Xiaoxiao asked, "Then what do you plan to do now?"
Ji Dong said, "In order to ensure our safety after entering the core world, I think we should go to the Dragon Valley first. If each of us can have our own magical beast companion, then we will be much safer after entering the core world. At the very least, we won't have any problems protecting ourselves. Of course, this is only my personal opinion. As for the specifics, it will be up to everyone to decide."
Ji Dong nodded, "I agree with Master's opinion. I previously made a prediction for this trial, and the result was that it would be daunting but not dangerous."
Chen Sixuan didn't say anything. She just silently stood behind Ji Dong. Everyone knew that no matter what Ji Dong said, she wouldn't object.
Fury nodded, "Junior's strategy is very correct. I also agree."
Ah Jin directly walked to Chen Sixuan's side and expressed his opinion. Du Ming, Du Xin 'er, and Lang Tianyi had relatively low statuses among the Heavenly Stem Saints, and they were also close to Ji Dong, so they naturally wouldn't object. Yao Qianshu, Lan Baoer, and Miao Miao also expressed their agreement at the same time. They all voted for Ji Dong's proposal.
Ji Dong said, "Alright, since everyone has no objections, let's set off now." There were still four years before the Red Lotus Heavenly Fire disappeared. Four years seemed like a long time, but for a Demon Master's cultivation, it was nothing. Ji Dong didn't dare to waste any time at all. It was clearly impossible for the Heavenly Stem Saints to cultivate to the level of nine crowns in these short four years. It was extremely difficult even for everyone to obtain a god artifact. If everyone just cultivated in seclusion together, they would indeed be able to raise their cultivation to a certain level. However, would that be enough to fight against the darkness of the Five Elements Continent?
With regards to this problem, Ji Dong had thought about it carefully before. In the end, he decided to break through the limit and cultivate. The place he had thought of to cultivate was the eighteenth floor of the core of the earth. To him, the eighteenth floor of the core of the earth could be considered familiar, but it could also be considered unfamiliar. It was familiar because he had stayed in the deepest eighteenth floor for such a long time, and it was unfamiliar because he had never been to any other place in the core of the earth apart from the eighteenth floor.
In the past, the two sovereigns were both Saint-level experts, and the guardian of the core of the earth was also a powerful Class 10 Magical Beast like the Frost Dragon Feng Shuang. It was conceivable what kind of danger was contained in the core of the earth. Training there would undoubtedly bring him and his companions great pressure. With such pressure urging them, their magic power would not be slower than cultivating in seclusion. It would also be able to improve everyone's coordination and combat ability as much as possible. This was the most important thing.
Indeed, after Dark Tianji obtained the power of the Four Great Sacred Beasts, no one in the Five Elements Continent could compare to him. However, individual strength would never mean victory. Just like the Cycle of Five Elements Formation that he had created, it was originally prepared for Dark Tianji. It was used by the Ten Heavenly Stems together to defeat the enemy. The Cycle of Five Elements Formation used by ordinary Demon Masters was completely different from the Ten Heavenly Stems'. They needed to constantly cooperate to perfect it. After all, this formation was not as simple as the Cycle of Five Elements and Ten Elements. There was also the addition of Fury, the ultimate Yang Thunder. As the leader, the things that Ji Dong had to do had increased exponentially. Even now, he had not perfected the formation in theory.
The most important thing in Ji Dong's mind was to seize every moment to improve everyone's strength.
Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Ji Dong, I can't help you in the assessment of the Chamber of Commerce, so I can't go with you this time. But don't worry, I will do my best in the process of implementing your Cycle of Five Elements Formation. There won't be any problems in the West Jin Empire. Rest assured, I believe that you can definitely complete this assessment that is impossible for others. I will wait for you to bring back good news as soon as possible. At that time, the 500 years of savings of the Chamber of Commerce will be presented to you. I will start preparing now, not only to help you, but also for the safety of the continent. No one can escape from the holy war between light and darkness, even if our Chamber of Commerce has the underground city."
Ji Dong stretched out his right hand to Zhou Xiaoxiao. Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before she raised her hand to shake his.
"Fatty, thank you for your help during this period."
