After arriving at the Fiend Castle, Zhou Tong very naturally walked to the reception desk of the castle.
"Are you participating in the Fiend trials or issuing missions?" Next to the reception desk was a white-haired old man. That person glanced at Zhou Tong, his voice very calm.
"I'm registering for the Fiend trials."
"You should know the rules. To register for the Fiend trials, you need to pay a registration fee of ten thousand inkstones."
Zhou Tong nodded. With a flip of his hand, a long azurite strip appeared in his hand, which he handed to the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man accepted the azurite strip, nodded, and then took out a seal with the image of a devilish Cyclops Fiend on it, handing it to Zhou Tong. "This is proof of your participation in the trials. Give me your address and record it down. I'll notify you on the day of the trials."
The Fiend trials weren't some sort of test. Rather, it was for the participants to take part in a low-level Fiend mission. Those who completed the mission would naturally become Fiends, while those who failed would naturally fail. If one was lucky enough, even the trashiest of Demigods would be able to pass. If one was unlucky, even Highgods might not be able to pass.
In addition, because this was an actual mission, most people would choose to take part in a group Fiend mission. However, this required some time. They needed to gather enough people before they could begin.
Generally speaking, there would be a trial every month. If one was lucky, one would be able to leave tomorrow. If one was unlucky, one would have to wait another month.
Zhou Tong naturally already knew the process of the Fiend trials. He immediately left behind his address and left.
After returning to the elven inn, Zhou Tong returned to his own little courtyard, sitting in the meditative position on the grass in the garden, quietly training. He had acquired so many amethysts. Naturally, he needed time to refine them.
While waiting for the trials, he planned to spend all of his time refining the amethysts.
With a flip of his hand, Zhou Tong collected a hundred amethysts into the crimson ring on his finger.
"Crackle!"
In virtually the blink of an eye, the hundred amethysts were completely transformed into slag, while at the same time, an enormous amount of golden mist began to swirl within the space within the ring.
Instantly, Zhou Tong's soul began to feel a sense of 'hunger'. For a long time, his soul had never reached the standard of saturation. The quality of his soul was too high.
"After training to become a Mid-level Deity and absorbing all five souls at the same time, if I were to go all out, I would be able to refine at least ten thousand Purple Crystals every day. Moreover, with my soul, these sixty million Purple Crystals are just enough for me to absorb and refine." Zhou Tong casually grabbed and tossed all ten million Purple Crystals inside.
The ring on his hand was a soul-protecting Sovereign artifact, and the space within it was extremely vast. After Zhou Tong put in the ten million purple crystals, it only took him half a day to completely refine the golden mist.
"I'll just leave it there and slowly absorb and refine it!" Zhou Tong threw away the remaining dregs and then closed his eyes to cultivate quietly.
It took Zhou Tong 30 years to cross the Vita Volcano Range. During the past thirty years, his fire element had naturally improved the fastest. He had already begun to fuse the fourth profound mystery of the Laws. Next was the Edicts of Destruction. He was in the process of fusing the fourth Edict of Destruction as well.
But in the past thirty years, his Elemental Laws of Water and the Laws of the Earth had improved significantly as well.
His Throbbing Pulse Fusion of the Laws of the Earth had already reached the eighth level. After fusing a few more times, he would truly reach the level of mastery and reach the level of perfectly fusing four profound mysteries. Although his Elemental Laws of Water had improved the slowest, it was slowly fusing the fourth profound mystery of the Laws … the Profound Mysteries of the Illusions of the Fog.
In the blink of an eye, twelve days passed …
"Bang!" "Bang!" …
A series of knocks on the door woke Zhou Tong from his cultivation. He opened the door, and outside was a golden-haired maiden.
She asked, "Are you the one participating in the Fiend trials?"
Zhou Tong nodded, then she continued to ask, "Please take out the Fiend emblem and let me confirm your identity."
With a flip of his hand, Zhou Tong retrieved the Fiend emblem.
"Right, your identity is correct. Tomorrow morning, go gather at the eastern gates of the Violet Cloud City. There will be people from our Fiend Castle waiting for you there." The golden-haired maiden smiled. "By the way, I don't know what your trial mission is. You'll know once you arrive. Until then, everything will be kept secret."
"When you arrive at the city gates, all you need to do is show the Fiend emblem. I wish you success in your trial!" After saying this, the golden-haired maiden left.
"I'm finally going to become a Fiend … while I'm a Fiend, I'll display the Edicts of Destruction!" With a flip of his hand, Zhou Tong retrieved his Voidbreaker sword and placed it back on his back.
There were far too many profound mysteries he could display, but Fiend missions were mostly for battle. Thus, the most suitable ones were still the Edicts of Destruction.
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
Early the next morning, Zhou Tong headed towards the city gates.
By the time he arrived at the city gates, he saw an enormous, pitch-black metallic lifeform with the emblem of the Fiend Castle on it. There were already quite a few people on the metallic lifeform.
Zhou Tong flew towards the metallic lifeform. At the entrance to the metallic lifeform, there was a muscular, middle-aged man with a pair of ox-horns on his head. He stared coldly at Zhou Tong. "You are also participating in the Fiend trials? Please show the Fiend emblem to confirm your identity! "
Zhou Tong produced the Fiend emblem, and the man nodded. "Go in!"
After entering the metallic lifeform, someone said, "Those participating in the Fiend trials, enter the rear cabin. Official Fiends, enter the front cabin. "
"There are official Fiends participating in this mission? It seems they aren't simple! "Zhou Tong swept the area with his gaze, immediately seeing that there were quite a few Highgod Fiends participating in this mission.
Upon entering the rear cabin, Zhou Tong's eyes lit up. There really were quite a few people here. There were at least three hundred people here, and there were still many who hadn't arrived yet.
Zhou Tong casually found a window seat and sat down. This rear cabin looked just like the cabin of an airplane; it wasn't comfortable at all. Zhou Tong just sat there quietly, continuing to refine the amethyst.
As time passed, the people participating in the trials all entered the rear cabin. This time, there were more than three thousand people participating in the trials, the majority of whom were Gods, with only a few Highgods.
Finally, after everyone had arrived, the metallic lifeform finally activated. It slashed through the skies, transforming into a pitch-black blur that instantly disappeared from the skies above Violetcloud City.
Right after the metallic lifeform activated, the people of the Fiend Castle finally arrived at the rear cabin. This was the bull-horned man who was at the door, 'checking in' the tickets.
"Everyone, this time, there are three thousand people participating in the Fiend trials. The location of this trial is the Blackblood Plains, east of Violetcloud City. " The bull-horned man's voice was ice cold. "The mission this time is to help the Teng Ning Tribe seize the Bloodfiend Divine Iron Mine!"
"As for the details of the mission, Irene, you explain!" The bull-horned man moved aside, allowing a beautiful, blue-haired woman behind him to explain in detail the mission of the Fiend trials.
The blue-haired beauty walked forward and said, "The Teng Ning Tribe and the Golden Blood Tribe have always been mortal enemies, and this time, at the border between the two tribes, a Bloodfiend Divine Iron Mine has been discovered. Both tribes have hired a large number of Fiends. Our side belongs to the Teng Ning Tribe, while your mission is to defeat the Fiends belonging to the Golden Blood Tribe. "
"But don't worry. Your opponents aren't Fiends, but rather, like you, participants of the trials. This time, whichever side wins will pass the trial! "
"How cruel …" Zhou Tong was rather speechless. Fiend missions really did result in conflicts. At this time, it would depend on each side's strength.
Both tribes had hired Fiends, and the result was that this had become a part of the Fiend trials for the Fiend Castle.
"If it were an ordinary God, most likely the outcome of this battle would depend on the mood of those Highgod Fiends carrying out the missions." Zhou Tong felt rather emotional.
This sort of mission would most likely result in extremely high casualties. Of the three thousand examinees of the Teng Ning Tribe and the three thousand examinees of the Golden Blood Tribe, it would be pretty good if two hundred of these six thousand people could survive.
"By the way, because this time is a free-for-all, we'll be handing out badges early!" As she spoke, the beautiful woman named Irene waved her hand, and a badge appeared next to each person. "After you bind this badge, everyone on your side will be able to sense it. You'll know very clearly if you are on the same side."
