Lin Fan stopped drinking and looked at the hesitating look on Xi Shi’s face; his eyebrows raised slightly before saying: "If you have something to say, then do so. There is no need to have any reservation between us."
Despite hearing these words, Xi Shi still hesitated for a brief moment, then she explained:
"There is something called the Slaughter Trial; it is a place created by an Eternal Emperor where Heaven Chosens from many different World Communities are sent in one place to slaughter one another.
"As a result of this, the resources available there are unimaginable. The last survivor of this trial is usually considered as a Potential Eternal Emperor."
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, "This trial sounds like the Spirit Road Trial. So, which Eternal Emperor created it? And why have I never heard of it?"
"It’s indeed like the Spirit Road Trial," replied Xi Shi. "Except that there is no restriction on cultivation level. As for who created this trial, I do not know as it was a foreign Eternal Emperor."
"You mean an Eternal Emperor from a different Heaven Will World than the Myriad Emperor World?"
"That’s correct. The reason that you have never heard of this trial is because of how far it is from our world, so few people have even been chosen from our world to participate."
"Few? Meaning there have been people who participated. So how did they do it?"
"Once in a while, a random token will be sent to our world, and the destined individual might acquire it," added Xi Shi. "Recently, our Chamber of Commerce acquired one token from a lucky individual."
"That’s good news. If I can participate in this trial, my strength can increase by leaps and bounds. I can finally close the gap with these two."
"Husband, you should understand how dangerous this trial actually is. In the end, of all the countless Heaven Chosens participating from hundreds of Heaven Will World, only one person will remain standing."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Fan calmed down after hearing this as he hesitated; he could only imagine how powerful the people participating in this trial would be. There might be a few scary monsters like Wang Wei and Di Tian there. However, Lin Fan gritted teeth:
"As I said before, I need an extreme measure."
After making his mind, Lin Fan immediately contacted his teacher and Dao Protector, Qiu Jin, to tell him about his decision. And knowing the severity of this situation, Qiu Jin contacted the new headmaster to make a decision.
After a few days of arguing, they supported Lin Fan to participate in the trial.
After receiving the token from Xi Shi, Lin Fan bid goodbye to his wives, concubines, and family. Then, he activated it. Instantly, he disappeared and appeared somewhere else.
Looking at his surroundings, Lin Fan found himself in a city with countless people walking around. And as soon as he arrived, people also noticed him as he was basically in the center of the city.
The first thing that Lin Fan noticed was the fact that the aura of the people around was weird and strange. After a brief moment, he realized it was because the cultivation system of these people was completely different from his Origin Path System.
While Lin Fan was checking the people around him, they were doing the same to him.
"A new unlucky fellow?" muttered one person.
"Looking at his aura, his cultivation seems to be Grade 5. Well, at least he is not at the bottom in this trial."
"I wonder what world he is from?"
A few minutes after arriving, a golden light came from Lin Fan’s body and rushed to the sky. Then, a list appeared that was visible to all the people in different cities of the trial.
"Lin Fan, Absolute Chaos Physique, Myriad Emperor World, ranked 3876th."
Many people watching this were surprised.
"Another Absolute Chaos Physique? That’s like the 8th to appear in this trial!"
"Why are you surprised? Don’t you know that the Top 3 Heavenly Physiques are the same for all World Communities?"
"I know that, but it still is weird."
"Not really. What I really care about is the other information. With his Grade 5 cultivation level, he can still rank in the top 5000, this shows that this guy is not a simple role."
"Well, he is from the Myriad Emperor World and most likely cultivated the Origin Path System. Although the cultivation speed of this system is slow, the strength of its people is nothing to laugh at. Additionally, the amount of lifespan that each realm grants them is also decent compared to some systems like Martial Art."
"That’s true. The Myriad Emperor World can be considered one of the most powerful Heaven Will World and on the list of worlds with the most Eternal Emperor, they are ranked in the Top 3. Even that vile Nine Devil God World was finally annihilated in their hands."
Meanwhile, Lin Fan secretly listened to these conversations and was shocked; he sighed as he finally understood how vast the world truly is and how insignificant he is compared to it.
Even his most proud Absolute Chaos Physique is nothing extraordinary in the Endless Void. After sighing to himself, he headed in the direction of his residence based on the information he just received in his mind.
Back to the present, in the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent. In a specific Domain, there were five extremely large palaces arranged in the shape of a pentagon. Each palace had a different color between green, deep blue, white, yellow, and red, and the names of different elements were written on these palaces.
The different characters in the palace contained different profound meanings. For example, the character for fire in the Fire Palace contained Dao Rhymes related to the fire element. If someone is talented enough, they can understand the laws of Fire just by looking at it.
And the same goes for the Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood Palace.
Oddly though, in the middle of the pentagon, there was no luxurious palace decorated with precious gems or materials. No white cranes were dancing in the sky, no peaceful and immortal-like music echoing in the surrounding like in the other palace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the center was a small wooden cabin. And inside was a girl dressed in plain and ordinary Taoist Robe. And this was not the only thing ordinary about her.
She did not have a heavenly beautiful face that could make Gods and Immortals envy, nor did she exude any powerful aura; she looked plain and simple.
Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes from her meditation; her eyes were extremely clear and pure, devoid of filth or taint. She looked in one direction while muttering:
"Innate Five Elements Balance? It seems to be coming from the Central Continent."
Then the girl--who was the number 6 Five Elements Balance Physique, Zhen Biyu--took out a talisman from the only ornament on her body: a black ring. For the next few minutes, she talked to someone through a communication talisman.
"It seems that I have to take a trip to the Dao Opening Sect."
Meanwhile, back in the Dao Opening Sect, after getting his father into deep trouble, Wang Wei started to do his work.
He flew straight into the sky and took out his Proven Dao Artifact. He controlled the strings to turn them into a mirror. Under his control, the mirror expanded until it covered most of the peaks of the sect, focusing more on the ones with the disciples.
However, the mirror was invisible, so only a few members of the upper echelons of the sect could see it. Under Wang Wei’s order, a bright light flashed from the mirror and seemed to scan all the disciples.
He then shrunk the mirror back to his original size as he began to watch something from it: it was the Fate of many of these disciples.
Under his control, Wang Wei managed to filter a lot of information very quickly until he discovered what he was looking for. He discovered that about a few hundred years ago, around the time that the Heaven Chosen Selection Trial began, many of the disciples--from different ranks--suddenly awakened strange memories. And after that, their personality changed.
Although they all tried to hide this sudden change, it was noticeable if someone looked closely.
After focusing on these disciples, Wang Wei learned that they were all reincarnated. To be precise, they are part of an elite Intelligence Group that referred to themselves as the Sleepers.
After their death, they will reincarnate and then reawaken the memories of their past life. That way, they can infiltrate many factions without any suspicions. And before their death, they will leave records of all the information they gathered to their leader.
Unfortunately, Wang Wei learned that these disciples’ ranks were too low to know the identity of the Leader, but Wang Wei could guess who it was: Di Tian.
