chapter 1012 inner sect trial

the spiritual qi was like a sea pouring over them. all their pores opened and greedily absorbed it.

long chen was shocked to find that the spiritual qi in the xuantian dao sect wasn’t just dense; it also seemed to contain something he had never felt before. he was unable to describe it.

seeing this huge gate open before them, the hundred thousand disciples were incomparably excited. they followed mu qingxuan inside. as for the disciples outside, they could only watch as those figures disappeared within the sect. then the thick gate closed tightly.

long chen and the others followed mu qingxuan along a long path. the sides of the paths were lined with ancient trees thrumming with vitality.

dozens of miles in, a plaza appeared. the plaza was huge, several times bigger than the entire branch sect of the eastern wasteland. it was also much grander.

at the center was a huge statue of a man. it was simple and majestic, seeming like a god overlooking the sky.

they were surprised that the sea of people they had expected to see inside never appeared. instead, there was only a single, long-haired man in the plaza. he stood there like a javelin planted in the ground, patiently waiting for them to get closer.

his expression was icy, and faint runes were revolving in his eyes. standing there, he gave off a dark feeling despite not having any of his aura leak.

“greetings, senior apprentice-brother su mo.” mu qingxuan bowed slightly.

“it’s been hard on you junior apprentice-sister qingxuan. leave the rest to me.” the man called su mo returned the bow. his tone was refined and courteous, but also felt a bit icy. a faint killing intent pervaded the air around him.

“this is a true expert.” long chen’s pupils shrank. he sensed immense pressure from this person, a pressure that was even greater than what he felt from the elders.nôv(el)b\\jnn

although long chen couldn’t sense his aura, he was able to sense the foundation forging realm’s spiritual fluctuations. however, the reason why long chen felt that this man had to be incredibly powerful was because of the killing intent resting within the depths of his soul.

he had to be an expert who had slaughtered countless people. his killing intent permeated every single one of his cells. even when he spoke calmly, his killing intent leaked out.

mu qingxuan said, “then i’ll leave it up to you. i’ll take my leave.”

after saying that, she waved her hand and left them all blankly standing there.

“if you want to become an inner sect disciple, the first thing you’ll need to do is to be prepared to give up your life. if you can’t do that, then the chances of you surviving in the trial are less than one in a thousand. as your senior apprentice-brother, i’ve seen many of my companions fall. i’ve seen their powerless struggle in the face of death. once you enter that battlefield, don’t vainly think that the people by your side will be able to save you. if people try to save you, they’ll be placing themselves in danger and cutting their own chances of surviving. so, i am very bluntly advising all of you not to try it without thinking it over. consider it carefully,” warned su mo.

the air was tense, and it was like a stone was pressing against their hearts. they were deathly silent, and some people were almost unable to breathe.

they were facing the excitement of being an inner sect disciple, as well as the threat of death. they struggled over this decision.

long chen sighed. su mo was being kind. these greenhouse flowers would definitely die in droves once they entered a true battlefield.

that couldn’t be blamed on them. the only ones that could be blamed were their sects that didn’t understand that people couldn’t be pampered. now their disciples had a difficult decision before them.

“i’ve said everything i have to say. as for what you choose, it’s up to you. if you want to participate in the inner sect trial, advance forward. if you don’t want to, retreat,” said su mo.

following his words, the majority of people stepped forward. only a few stepped back. those people were the weakest, as well as the smartest. they felt content just being outer sect disciples.

the majority of those who retreated were rank three celestials. many of them were those who had bitterly struggled to the end on the xuantian staircase and only passed because of luck. just that rudimentary trial had made them powerless, so they had no hope at all for the next one.

the absolute majority advanced, while a small portion retreated. there was also a small portion that were still hesitating. their talent was not bad, and they were stronger than average.

they were unwilling to give up, but then thinking of how difficult the xuantian staircase had been to climb. the next trial would be even crueler and more difficult.

su mo didn’t rush them, just calmly waiting for their decision. what they were experiencing, he had also experienced. so he wasn’t the slightest bit impatient.

finally, after an hour, everyone had made their decision. there were twenty thousand people who chose to give up, and eighty thousand that chose to continue to the inner sect trial.

seeing this many people still wanted to participate in the inner sect trial, a helpless expression appeared in su mo’s eyes. but he didn’t say anything.

people quickly came to lead the disciples who had given up away. they should be setting up their residences and positions.

once the outer sect disciples were led away, su mo said, “since you’ve chosen to participate in the inner sect trial, then as your senior apprentice-brother, i can only wish you good luck. but before the trial, you have to meet a few people. perhaps they can save your life on the battlefield.”

countless runes on the floor tiles beneath their feet lit up. the space around them twisted, and they suddenly appeared in a dark and damp environment.
