There were four groups of people gathered outside the center of the soul source. However, Xing Jue could tell which peak they were from just by looking at their clothes.
The men and women in blue clothes, whether they were disciples or elders, all looked arrogant and insufferably arrogant.
Moreover, there were many of them. There were close to six hundred disciples, and many of them were Shura Wu Zun. With such strength, it was obvious that they were from the strongest peak of Mount Wuzhi, Tiandao Peak.
They were all young women in green clothes. Although the elders were already middle-aged, they still looked beautiful. It was obvious that this was the famous Ethereal Peak, which was coveted by all men in the world.
However, what surprised Xing Jue was that although the Ethereal Peak had the least disciples, about four hundred people, each of them had a strong aura. It was obvious that this group of women was not to be underestimated. After all, the person ranked third on the Realm Ranking was from this place.
The disciples in yellow clothes were the opposite of the Ethereal Peak. They were all men. Not only were there few young people, but most of them were middle-aged men. There were even some experts of the older generation.
However, it was worth mentioning that they were all bald. Their number was similar to that of the Hermit Peak. It was obvious that they were from Zen Ji Peak.
As for the disciples in red clothes, Xing Jue recognized them immediately. They were the disciples of Reincarnation Peak. Fortunately, Xing Jue was hidden in the crowd, and they could not find Xing Jue. Otherwise, Xing Jue would be really worried that they would recognize him and something bad would happen.
After the Hermit Peak arrived, the elders of the Inheritance Sect and the elders of the other four peaks chatted with each other. As for Xing Jue and the others, they were like the disciples of the other four peaks. They stayed in their own places and did not communicate with each other.
However, there was hostility in their eyes, especially the disciples of Tiandao Peak. They looked at the other four peaks as if they were ants. They were quite arrogant.
"The Ethereal Peak really lives up to its name. How can I have the heart to attack these senior and junior sisters?" At this moment, Han Feng's gaze was locked onto the Ethereal Summit disciple. If it wasn't for Xing Jue stopping him, he would have really gone up to greet them.
Compared to the likes of Han Feng, who would not take a single step forward upon seeing a beautiful woman, Xing Jue was stealthily spreading out his Soul Force to observe the strength of the people around him. Even though many people possessed precious treasures that could conceal their auras, they were completely useless before Xing Jue's Emperor Rank Soul, and were seen through with a single glance.
"As expected, Tian Dao Peak did not come with good intentions."
After observing for a while, Xing Jue's gaze toward Heaven Law Peak became solemn. After observing for a while, Xing Jue discovered that the strength of the other four peaks was similar. Even the number of Shura Wu Zun was about the same. There were no more than 30 people in each peak.
However, Tian Dao Peak was an exception. Amongst their 600 disciples, there were actually nearly 99 Shura Wu Zun. Such a difference was truly terrifying.
Moreover, according to Xing Jue's knowledge, even though Tian Dao Peak was slightly stronger in the past, it wasn't so terrifying. It was obvious that Tian Dao Peak had come prepared this year.
"Look, isn't that Elder Qiu of Tian Dao Peak?"
"Wow, that's a peak expert in the world!"
Right at this moment, a commotion arose among the five forces. Because at this moment, an old man in blue clothes, with snow white hair and a sharp gaze suddenly stood out from the group of elders.
This person was a rather reputable person in Wuzhi Peak, Elder Qiu of Tian Dao Peak, an Shura Martial God expert. With his strength, he could absolutely be considered as a top figure amongst the elders of Wuzhi Peak.
"I'm very happy that after a year, the disciples of my Wuzhi Peak can gather again."
"I'm glad that the number of disciples of my Wuzhi Peak taking part in the trial has increased significantly compared to last year."
"This is a sign that our Wuzhi Peak is growing stronger day by day. It's a sign that our Wuzhi Peak has a successor. It's something worth celebrating."
"Wuzhi Peak is a family. The disciples and elders of Wuzhi Peak are like family. Therefore, this trial is a friendly duel between family members. Regardless of the outcome, please don't hold any grudges."
"Due to the fact that there are many more disciples participating in the test this year, we have unanimously decided to extend the duration of the test from 10 days to 15 days." Elder Qiu from the Sky Dao Peak announced to the crowd with a thunderous voice.
"What? It's been extended by five days? "
His words immediately caused a great uproar among the disciples. Even Xing Jue was startled. However, when he took a closer look, he discovered that only the disciples of Tian Dao Peak remained calm, as if they had already expected it.
"It seems like it's a trick of Tian Dao Peak. This year's trial is definitely going to be tougher than the previous years." Xing Jue exclaimed in his heart after noticing the change.
Xing Jue suspected that this was a scheme of Tian Dao Peak. The disciples taking part in the trial this year were stronger than the previous years, and they were purposely extending the duration of the trial. It was possible that they were planning to monopolize the list of the core disciples.
"Now, I'll announce the rules of the trial."
"The trial will take place at the center of the Soul Source. Before entering, the disciples of Wuzhi Peak will receive the Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, and Human badges respectively."
"The rules of the trial are to rob the other four badges from the disciples of the other peaks. Those who successfully collect five badges will pass the trial."
"However, remember, when you are competing for the badges, you are not allowed to kill or seriously injure your opponent. Furthermore, you are not allowed to rob other people's belongings apart from the badges. Otherwise, you will be punished severely."
"Furthermore, the duration of the trial is 15 days. In other words, it doesn't matter if you lose the badges within 15 days. As long as you can collect all five badges after 15 days, you will still win. Therefore, don't be discouraged. As long as you continue to work hard, you will still have a chance to pass the trial."
"After saying so much, does everyone understand?"
"Yes!!!!"
The 2500 disciples of Wuzhi Peak answered in unison. They were already aware of the rules of the trial. What they were looking forward to the most was not listening to Elder Qiu's nonsense, but entering the center of the Soul Source to compete for the five badges and prove their worth.
Then, the elders of the peaks began to distribute the badges to the disciples …
Tian Dao Peak received the Heaven Badge.
Reincarnation Peak received the Earth Badge.
The token Hermit Peak got was the Profound Token.
Chan Ji Peak received the Yellow Badge.
Ethereal Summit got the "Human" token.
After everything was ready, the 500 elders of Wuzhi Peak began to summon the teleportation array outside the center of the Soul Source.
The center of the Soul Source had long belonged to Wuzhi Peak, and it was a forbidden area for outsiders to enter. Not only did Wuzhi Peak set up a powerful barrier around the vast center of the Soul Source, but they also set up a teleportation array inside.
The effect of the barrier was to prevent outsiders from entering, and also to prevent disciples from escaping during the trial.
As for the teleportation array, it was to make it convenient for the disciples of Wuzhi Peak to enter the center of the Soul Source without meeting each other immediately. That was because the five teleportation arrays were sent to five different locations in the center of the Soul Source.
Buzz, buzz, buzz …
As five beams of light appeared, five teleportation arrays of different colors appeared. Then, the disciples of Wuzhi Peak stepped into one of them and were teleported to the center of the Soul Source.
After all the disciples of Wuzhi Peak had entered the center of the Soul Source, the elders of Wuzhi Peak did not rest. Instead, they activated the huge barrier that sealed the entire center of the Soul Source.
"Hehe … Wuzhi Peak, it's time to pay your debt!"
However, as the elders were activating the barrier, a creepy laughter could be heard coming from the space outside the center of the Soul Source.
Hundreds of figures were hiding in the space that no one was aware of. They were wearing long black robes and had strong auras. Most of them were at the same level as Asura Wu Zun.
The one leading them was an Asura Martial God Realm expert. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were slightly red. They were staring at the elders of Wuzhi Peak with hatred. On their foreheads, there was a clear word: Sorcerer.
"Buzz ~"
When Xing Jue's consciousness became clear again, he was already in the center of the Soul Origin. Other disciples appeared around him one after another, and after they appeared, their expressions were a little surprised, and they were amazed by everything in front of them.
The towering ancient trees looked like they were made of steel. The branches were like needles, and the leaves were like blades. Those trees were no longer ancient trees, but sharp weapons.
Although the ground under his feet was uneven, it was like an indestructible iron plate. Even though they could carve runes on it, they could not damage it at all.
"What a strange place."
Xing Jue exclaimed as he looked at the scene before him. He could sense that the ancient trees and the ground were very strange. It was not because of the barrier. It was as if they were born this way.
"Huhuhu ~ ~ ~"
At that moment, the sound of wind breaking could be heard from all directions in the sky, as if an army was galloping past, or a battle between dragons and tigers.
Raising his head and looking through the gaps between the ancient trees, he could see a layer of invisible ripple covering the sky.
"This feeling, something is not right." Xing Jue's gaze suddenly turned serious.
"What's wrong, Xing Jue? It's just the barrier that the elders have set up. It will be removed in 15 days, "explained Han Feng.
"I hope so ~"
How could Xing Jue not know that it was the barrier that the elders had set up? However, Xing Jue, who was proficient in the Spirit Formation Technique, noticed that the barrier was slightly different. However, he could not tell what was wrong, which was why he felt it was strange.
"The examination has started. Let's go." After pondering for a while without any results, Xing Jue did not think anymore and he prepared to leave this place with Han Feng.
* hmm *
But just at that time, a Spirit Formation suddenly descended from the sky and covered all of the disciples from the Hermit Peak who were participating in the examination within it, blocking their path.
"What do you mean?"
That change caught the attention of everyone present. At that instant, everyone's gazes were uniformly cast onto a middle-aged man.
That man wore a pair of large glasses and had a rather simple and honest appearance. However, his age was already a bit over forty, and as for his strength, he was actually Asura Wu Zun. It was no wonder that he dared to publicly trap everyone here. He could be said to have some ability.
