"Panther Lady, don't push Shentu Nantian. He just failed miserably. That kid Yi Yun is very crafty! We should also be on our guard. "
Amongst the people present, there were people from large factions that had good relations with the Shentu family clan. They spoke up for Shentu Nantian, and the Panther Lady he called out was the petite girl with black hair and black clothes. Even her fingernails were black.
Panther Lady did not speak further. Although she did not have a good impression of the Shentu family clan, they had already signed a contract. Furthermore, there was a Shentu family clan disciple present, so she did not want to embarrass him.
The only Shentu family clan disciple was about 16 or 17 years old. He kept a low profile as he followed behind a youth dressed in a flaming robe.
This youth's name was Gongsun Hong, and he came from the Li Fire Sect.
Even Panther Lady and the youth with the bag on his back were in awe of Gongsun Hong. He had obtained first place in the last Li Fire Sect inner disciple tournament.
The Li Fire Sect was held once every three years, and only young Li Fire Sect disciples below the age of 18 were allowed to participate. For Gongsun Hong to obtain first place in the Li Fire Sect, it was enough to prove how terrifying he was.
One had to know that in the Tian Yuan world, sects might not be as cohesive as family clans, but in terms of strength, they were usually stronger than large family clans. After all, a family clan would usually choose their descendants, so there would inevitably be limitations. However, sects did not need to consider this.
As the people from the various factions discussed, they did not care about Yi Yun, nor did they hide their killing intent towards Yi Yun.
But now, in the Great Empress mystic realm, everyone had laws protecting them. If anyone made a move, they would immediately be stripped of their strength by the laws.
However, this protection was only for cultivators who had the qualifications to become the Great Empress' successor. Once they lost their qualifications, the protection would no longer exist. The Great Empress mystic realm would naturally not divert its energy to protect those useless people.
They were waiting, waiting for the trial to begin. Only those with sufficient talent could go all the way. As for those with insufficient strength, they would be eliminated.
To most of the people present, being eliminated was just the end of the trial. However, to Yi Yun, being eliminated meant falling into a wolf's den. His outcome was obvious.
At this moment, with a "shua" sound, the vast white land in front of everyone began to distort. A surging river appeared out of thin air, spanning across the land. And above the river, a huge bridge of light appeared.
This bridge of light was more than twenty meters wide and two or three hundred meters long.
On the bridge of light, a shadow appeared from nothing, from blurry to clear.
When people focused their eyes, they were shocked. A desolate beast had appeared on the bridge!
This desolate beast was about two stories tall. It looked like a huge tiger, but its body was not covered in tiger stripes. Instead, it was covered in countless lightning bolts.
It had fangs that were like spears and claws that were like sharp swords. It looked ferocious and gave off a strong sense of oppression!
"This is …"
Many of the young people present were stunned. What the hell was that?
This desolate beast looked too real. It was no different from a real desolate beast. It had flesh and blood, and its pair of amber eyes exuded an intimidating coldness.
However, people knew that the Great Empress mystic realm had existed for a very, very long time. No desolate beast had ever survived after being sealed in the Great Empress mystic realm for so long.
Then, the desolate beast in front of them might look real, but it was actually an energy body!
An energy body desolate beast could completely simulate the feeling of a real desolate beast. This method was shocking, but what was most shocking was not this. According to the jade scroll given to them by the Shen Tu family clan, they would not have experienced this scene.
The jade scroll recorded that in the beginning, they would have to pass through a wilderness and experience a massacre in the wilderness. It did not mention that they would encounter the bridge of light and the terrifying desolate beast.
With the existence of the soul contract, it was impossible for Shen Tu Nantian to give them fake information. From the looks of it, the greatest possibility was that every time they entered the Great Empress mystic realm, the trials they faced would be different …
As such, the latecomers would not be able to use the experience of their predecessors to target them with specific training. It was to ensure that the successor chosen by the mystic realm was truly talented.
Upon realizing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. This Great Empress mystic realm was too terrifying. How did the ancient Great Empress do it every time a mystic realm trial was different?
Now was not the time to be amazed. Without a doubt, other than marking the entrance to the Great Empress mystic realm, the Shen Tu family clan's mystic realm jade scroll did not have much reference value.
They had to rely on themselves to adapt to the situation!
"The trial's content has changed. Everything we face is unknown."
The youth with the bag on his back not only did not feel worried, a look of excitement flashed across his face.
"Interesting!"
Panther Lady was also eager to give it a try. She subconsciously scratched her palms, as her black claws shimmered.
At this moment, a voice rang in everyone's ears. This voice was calm and soothing, but it did not have any human emotions. It was like a metallic voice. "Everyone has one chance. Last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and you will be able to pass through the bridge of light and enter the next level of the mystic realm."
"I see. Last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn under the desolate beast's claws!"
"I like this trial!" Panther Lady was clearly very excited.
Not only was Panther Lady excited, Lin Yu was also excited on the Lin family's side. The first trial was to fight a desolate beast.
And this was exactly what he was good at.
In the last half year of the Great Empress mystic realm, he had undergone devilish training. He had spent nearly all his time in battle. He had battled with young elites, and he had engaged in life and death battles with desolate beasts.
"This is a good sign. I want to amaze everyone in this trial!"
Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly. His eyes subconsciously flashed with an ambitious glow.
Lin Yu was still not at the level of the top elites in the Lin family. If not, he would not have nearly been allocated a spot in the Great Empress mystic realm.
As for Yi Yun, Lin Yu did not care if he would be killed in the mystic realm. He was only concerned that Yi Yun had offended too many strong enemies, and he would be implicated.
To put it bluntly, as long as he was fine, Lin Yu would only gloat if Yi Yun was killed by someone from another family clan.
Yi Yun had nearly snatched his spot, and he had received the Matriarch's favor. He could use all sorts of top resources at will. Lin Yu was already going crazy from jealousy. It would be better if he died!
At this moment, Lin Xiaodie giggled and said, "To be able to experience the ancient mystic realm personally is an extremely rare experience. It would be a pity not to record it."
Lin Xiaodie was dressed in colorful clothes. She was petite and cute. Just like her name, she really was like a butterfly that flew into a cluster of flowers.
As she was about the same age as Yi Yun, her personality was like a child that had yet to grow up. She did what she said and ignored the many factions that were eyeing the Lin family covetously. She really took out a visual disk array from her interspatial ring and placed it not far from the bridge of light. It recorded the scene of every young junior walking on the bridge of light for the trials.
"Ha! Junior Sister Xiaodie, what you did was quite interesting! "
Seeing the visual disk array, Lin Yu was very excited. He originally thought that his performance would not be seen by the Lin family's elders. Now, with the visual disk array, they would definitely be able to observe it in the future. They would be able to see his valiant and heroic appearance!
Lin Yu was hesitating if he should immediately go up, but at this moment, the cold voice from the Great Empress mystic realm resounded once again. "The first cultivator to step onto the bridge of light will have the difficulty reduced by 20%!"
Just as the voice faded, a short and fat youth immediately jumped onto the bridge of light. The first person to make a move did not know the desolate beast's abilities, so he would be at a great disadvantage. But if the difficulty was reduced by 20%, then that disadvantage could become an advantage.
"This kid!" Including Lin Yu, many people were secretly cursing. This fatty was too cunning. He had snatched first place just like that.
"Haha! Everyone, let me scout the path for you! "
The short and fat youth said with a bright smile. He was still very pleased with himself for snatching first place.
Of course, even though he was pleased with himself, he did not have any intentions of underestimating his enemy. Against the desolate beast in front of him, the short and fat youth was on full alert.
He knew very well that the ancient Great Empress was an unattainable existence. Typical geniuses would not catch her eye.
The difficulty of the Great Empress mystic realm that she had set up to select her successor was obvious!
The desolate beast in front of him was probably an unknown ancient species. Its strength was extremely terrifying. Although this group of people were top geniuses, there would definitely be many of them who would be eliminated in this entrance test!
The cold voice had said that as long as they could last on the bridge of light for the time it takes for a joss stick to burn, they would be able to pass.
Hence, the short and fat youth did not even think of attacking the desolate beast. All he needed to do was withstand it!
Just withstanding it was naturally much easier than defeating the desolate beast!
