Chapter 7735: The trial (1)
Jiang Yu was cultivating in his cave abode when he heard a voice.”Master, elder Zhou has arrived.” Jiang Yu knew that the voice belonged to one of his servants. He immediately stopped and said, ” “Quickly invite him in.” As he spoke, he walked out of his cave abode and went outside to welcome elder Zhou.
Jiang Yu, who had been in the million Wraith sect for more than three months, already knew elder Zhou’s identity. Elder Zhou was an extremely powerful elder in the million Wraith sect. He was one of the elder guards of the Scripture Depository.
The importance of the Scripture chamber to a sect was needless to say. Because the inheritance of a sect was all in the Scripture chamber, every sect would send their most elite people to guard it. Elder Zhou was the elder guard of the Scripture chamber. It was clear how powerful he was.
Of course, he wasn’t just a mere guard elder of the Scripture Depository. He actually had a lot of power. Previously, the million Wraith sect had placed too much importance on Jiang Yu and the cultivation technique that he had handed over. That was why they had asked elder Zhou and elder zou to come forward. Elder zou’s identity wasn’t simple either. He was one of the elders in charge of managing the core disciples.
Now that Jiang Yu heard that elder Zhou had arrived, he naturally had to immediately come out to welcome him. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave abode, he saw elder Zhou and immediately bowed to him,”Greetings, elder Zhou. I didn’t know you were coming and didn’t welcome you. Please forgive me.”
Elder Zhou waved his hand and said, ” you don’t have to be so polite. I came to inform you that in a month’s time, it will be the annual core disciple trial test. How is your current strength? ” Could he participate in this time’s core disciple exam? You’d better participate if you can, because you’ve only been a core disciple for a short period of time, and the way you became a core disciple is not very good. Therefore, many disciples are not convinced by you, so it’s best for you to participate in this exam. ”
&Quot; yes, ” Jiang Yu replied immediately. &Quot; don’t worry, elder Zhou. I’ll definitely participate. May I know what the trial is about? ”
&Quot; the trial this time is a Mystic realm trial, ” elder Zhou said in a deep voice. &Quot; the core disciples of the top ten sects will all enter a Mystic realm. I heard that the mystic realm was a trial ground of the ancient dark sect. There were countless treasures and cultivation techniques there. Later, the dark sect disappeared, but this Mystic realm was left behind and became the trial ground for the disciples of the top ten sects. &Quot;
Jiang Yu looked at elder Zhou and asked,”elder, I wonder if I can kill people after entering the mystic realm?” If it can kill, then I’m afraid it’ll be dangerous for me to go in, right?”
Elder Zhou looked at Jiang Yu and said in a low voice, &Quot; you’re right. It’s indeed dangerous to enter the secret realm. The people from the battle corpse sect won’t let you go. Don’t you want to go? ”
Jiang Yu shook his head. &Quot; no, I won’t. I’ll go. Don’t worry, elder. I just need to make some preparations before the trial. &Quot;
Elder Zhou looked at Jiang Yu and nodded. &Quot; &Quot; good, as long as you didn’t back down. I was really afraid that you would back down. Don’t worry and go for your training. If you need anything, the sect will prepare it for you. &Quot; Jiang Yu thanked him before elder Zhou turned to leave. Jiang Yu’s expression did not look too good as he watched elder Zhou’s back.
He felt that this matter was a little strange. Core disciples must be the pillars of a sect. Losing one of them was a huge loss for a sect. Why would the top ten sects be willing to let their core disciples participate in such a trial? Wasn’t this asking them to kill each other? This would be too great of a loss for them. And this trial, it really came at the right time. He had just entered the million Wraith sect for less than four months, and this trial had suddenly come. Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence? Was the trial this time targeted at him?
In fact, his guess was right. This time’s trial test was really because of him. This time’s trial test would have the core disciples of the top ten sects participating, but these core disciples were not true core disciples. Now that there were many core disciples in the top ten sects, they hoped to use this method to eliminate some of them and select some core disciples with stronger strength and potential to be trained.
Although Jiang Yu’s potential was not bad, the million Wraith sect did not necessarily have to protect him. The battle corpse sect had already negotiated with the million Wraith sect many times in the past, hoping that they would hand Jiang Yu over. The million Wraith sect did not want to make things too awkward between the battle corpse sect and them. After all, they had already obtained the celestial demon undying body. Hence, they had arranged for this trial to allow Jiang Yu to enter the Mystic realm. Once there, whether the battle corpse sect could kill Jiang Yu would depend on themselves. If the battle corpse could kill Jiang Yu, the million Wraith sect would not pursue the matter. However, if the battle corpse sect could not kill Jiang Yu under such circumstances, then the battle corpse sect could only blame themselves. The million Wraith sect would not be blamed.
It could be said that the reason why Jiang Yu gave the million Wraith sect the celestial demon undying body technique and joined the million Wraith sect as a core disciple was to gain their protection so that the battle corpse sect would not be able to deal with him. But now, the million Wraith sect was under pressure from the battle corpse sect, so they decided to temporarily remove Jiang Yu from the million Wraith sect’s protection during this trial if the battle corpse sect could kill Jiang Yu within this period of time. The million Wraith sect would naturally not seek revenge.
However, at the same time, if the battle corpse sect was unable to kill Jiang Yu within this period of time, then they could only blame the battle corpse sect’s lack of strength. When Jiang Yu came out of the secret realm, the million Wraith sect would protect him again, even more than before. This was because if Jiang Yu really came out alive, it would mean that he was strong and had endless potential. Then, he would definitely be qualified to become a core disciple of the million Wraith sect, and one that was worth nurturing.
Of course, Jiang Yu still couldn’t figure out what was going on. However, he knew that this trial was extremely important to him. He also knew that even though elder Zhou said that he could choose not to participate in this trial, elder Zhou still hoped that he would.
Furthermore, Jiang Yu had thought it through. If this incident was really directed at him, even if he did not participate in the trial, they would think of other ways to deal with him. So, he might as well openly participate in the trial. He wanted to see what the million Wraith sect would do.
In order to participate in the trial this time, he had to prepare some good things. Jiang Yu did not stand on ceremony. He immediately asked for some good things and placed them in his interspatial equipment.
Gu ding had also helped Jiang Yu come up with some ideas. At the same time, he would enter the Mystic realm with Jiang Yu. He wanted to see how the battle corpse sect would take their lives in the mystic realm.
A month’s time was really too short for cultivators. They had only gone into seclusion for a short while, and a month had already passed. One day, Jiang Yu received a notice that the time for their trial was about to end.
Jiang Yu led Gu ding directly to the core disciple district’s transmission square. There was a large magical artifact parked there. This large magical artifact was very special. It was actually a large magical artifact in the shape of a Palace. This made Jiang Yu feel very strange. Even Gu ding was surprised. He really did not expect the million Wraith sect’s large magical artifact to be a Palace.
At this moment, Jiang Yu realized that many of the million Wraith sect’s disciples had also arrived at the teleportation square. These disciples were all dressed in black robes, and their bodies were filled with a ghastly aura. One look at them was enough to make one feel fear. These disciples all had a haughty expression on their faces, as if they didn’t care about the people in the world.
In fact, they did have the right to be arrogant. They were disciples of the million Wraith sect, and core disciples at that. The million Wraith sect was one of the top ten sects. With their status, no matter where they went in the devil spirit world, they would be looked up to by people. They would even be treated with respect, so it was normal for them to be like this.
Just as Jiang Yu was sizing up the disciples, they were doing the same. Although they didn’t know who Jiang Yu was, they knew who he was when they saw Gu ding beside him. They had also heard that there was a new core disciple in the sect, and this core disciple didn’t become a core disciple through his own strength, but by giving the sect a cultivation technique. He was only an outer disciple in the battle corpse sect.
Because they knew this, the core disciples of the million Wraith sect looked down on Jiang Yu. To them, someone like Jiang Yu was not worthy of being a core disciple of the million Wraith sect.
However, in the past few months, Jiang Yu had been cultivating and had not interacted with these people. He did not know what they were thinking, so he only felt that it was strange. He did not understand why these people would act like this and look at him with hostility.
Just as Jiang Yu was feeling puzzled, elder Zhou’s voice was heard. &Quot; “Alright, all the disciples participating in the trial are here. Let’s enter the ten thousand ghost palace.” &Quot; yes, master! &Quot; everyone responded and entered the palace.
From the outside, the palace seemed to be built with big stones. However, after entering the hall, one would realize that it was not built with stones, but directly cast. It was a metal Hall. Furthermore, the palace was extremely huge. As soon as they entered the palace, they were greeted by a huge Hall. Elder Zhou was standing in the middle of the hall. The palace was huge, about 10000 square meters. This really puzzled Jiang Yu because the palace did not look this big from the outside. However, it was strange that a Hall was this big.
Jiang Yu didn’t understand. Gu ding had a lot of space. This Hall could actually form its own space. Although they didn’t use it very well, it was obvious that they only compressed the space in the hall a little. The space in the hall was indeed bigger than the actual space, but it wasn’t by much. However, this was already very impressive. (To be continued.) &Quot; if you like this work, you’re welcome to come to to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
