Chapter 342: Chapter 342 Endless Trial

"The Endless Trial of Tianyun Temple is about to begin!" Han Dong said, his face alight with excitement.

"What’s that?" Shi Hao grabbed him to keep him from getting too excited, preventing him from speaking clearly.

Suppressing his emotions, Han Dong explained, "Tianyun Temple is the strongest force on the Eastern Fire Continent. Every few years, they open up the Endless Trial, and only the very best geniuses can participate. And those who pass the trials will likely become some of the strongest on the continent in the future."

Shi Hao smiled. He had obtained the legacy of a Sky Ladder powerhouse; in the days to come, let alone dominating the Eastern Fire Continent, he could even rule over the strongest South Wood Continent.

"Talk about the real benefits," he asked.

Han Dong was shocked. His boss was too pragmatic! He didn’t care about the ethereal title of a powerhouse; he wanted tangible benefits.

"It’s said that there are numerous treasures within the Endless Trial, and it might be possible to cultivate Divine Skills," he still said. "As for the specifics, I’m not sure."

Shi Hao nodded. "Makes sense, you’re definitely not any genius, you don’t qualify for the Endless Trial."

That hurt!

Cupping his chest, Han Dong felt as if he had been brutally stabbed, the pain fierce.

"Boss, they say you shouldn’t hit a man in the face, you’re too cruel!"

Shi Hao shrugged. "Alright, the last time the Endless Trial began, you were too young to participate."

"That’s right, different wordings for the same outcome can make a big difference," Han Dong said with a smile.

"You’re quite cheeky now, aren’t you?" Shi Hao said with a feigned smile, a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

Han Dong immediately dared not float on air anymore and earnestly asked, "Boss, with your talent, you definitely qualify to participate, so are you going?"

Shi Hao smiled. "Why wouldn’t I go to something that has benefits?"

"Sigh, I can’t go though," Han Dong sighed. "To start the Endless Trial, one needs to pass the Nine Passes test, and I probably can’t even get past the first one."

"Haha, I’ve discovered a virtue in you," Shi Hao said leisurely.

"What virtue?" Han Dong quickly asked.

"Honesty," Shi Hao laughed.

Poof—another stab to the chest!

With a mournful expression, Han Dong wondered, did his boss take pleasure in putting him down?

Becoming interested in this Endless Trial, Shi Hao went to inquire about it from Han Liren.

"Tianyun Temple is the strongest force on the Eastern Fire Continent," Han Liren set the tone. "Although they are a five-star force too, the number of Founding King Court powerhouses is in the dozens, and there are even many hidden experts. The total number could well be over a hundred!"

On other continents, a force with over a hundred Founding King Courts would hardly be remarkable, but on the Eastern Fire Continent, it was different.

Founding King Court was the top existence. For a force to have over a hundred such powerhouses was terrifying!

It was as if, on the South Wood Continent, a force had over a hundred Sky Ladder powerhouses. How unimaginable would that be?

—Not to mention a single force, the whole world combined wouldn’t likely have that many Sky Ladder powerhouses.

Just look at Jiuwu City. The previously strongest Cheng Family only had two members in the Founding King Court, and even the formidable Purple Star Sect had only about a dozen or twenty.

So, how astonishing was the fact of having over a hundred Founding King Courts?

It was said this was due to Tianyun Temple’s possession of the Endless Trial.

For those not from Tianyun Temple, one could only participate in the Endless Trial once in a lifetime, but Tianyun Temple’s disciples were different; they could take part multiple times.

Therefore, they reaped more benefits and naturally could reach higher realms in the future.

Shi Hao was curious. Was this Endless Trial really that amazing?

But Tianyun Temple proved it with facts—their vast number of Founding King Courts must have stemmed from the benefits of the Endless Trial.

So, as time went on, more and more people wanted to participate in the Endless Trial.

He possessed the memories of Yuan Chengmie, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t conceive the means to mass-produce top-tier warriors.

—Unless one were to change the location, such as the South Wood Continent.

Shi Hao became interested in the Tianyun Temple, and of course, he was certainly going to undergo the Endless Trial; his cultivation progress was simply too slow now.

If such complaints were known to others, one would surely be cursed out.

You’re just over eighteen years old, and you’re already at the second island; how much faster do you want to be?

Originally, Han Feihuo should have been qualified for the Endless Trial, but with his death, the Han Family had no more geniuses.

Even if there were, they were only of average level, and going to the Tianyun Temple would be nothing but humiliating themselves.

So, after making some preparations, Shi Hao set out on his journey alone.

Such a trial would definitely not allow ferocious beasts to participate, even those that had gained spiritual intelligence.

As a result, the Big Yellow Dog and the Dark Patterned Leopard both stayed with the Han Family.

With plenty of time, Shi Hao proceeded leisurely, traveling through mountains and playing with waters, heading towards the Tianyun Temple.

The Tianyun Temple was located in the central part of the continent, near the north. Therefore, it only took about ten days to get there on foot.

About half a month later, Shi Hao arrived at the Tianyun Temple.

Within the Divine Temple, there were mostly clergy who believed in deities, divided into two types.

The first type was of the ordinary level; they could marry and have children, no different from disciples of other sects. The second type was known as ascetic monks; they devoted themselves completely to the deities, did not eat living things, only drank clean water, and did not marry or have children.

Before arriving at the Divine Temple, this power owned a whole mountain. Looking up from the bottom, one simply couldn’t see the top.

Naturally, it wasn’t a place just anyone could ascend. As the strongest power on the East Fire Continent, the Tianyun Temple was always shrouded in mystery. Only at this time would this power open itself to the outside, but even then, just a small area.

Now, the mountain gate was teeming with people, all young men and women.

This was because the Endless Trial had an age limit; one must not exceed thirty years of age.

"I heard that Chen Yubin from Beifeng City came."

"What, even he’s here?"

"Nonsense, the Endless Trial is of great significance. As long as one passes, there’s a great chance of becoming a power in the Founding King Court. What talent wouldn’t be tempted by this?"

"Alas, I heard that there’s a limit to the number of people who can pass the trial, only ninety-nine. Once that number is reached, the trial will close immediately."

"No worries, there won’t be many geniuses like Chen Yubin."

"Heh heh, haven’t you heard? Ryu Changlong from the Liuming Sect is here too."

"Hiss, Ryu Changlong, the one known as the genius killer?"

"Nonsense, is there a second Ryu Changlong in the Liuming Sect?"

"This is bad, just don’t encounter this guy; otherwise, you’re definitely doomed."

"..."

Listening to the heated discussions among the crowd, Shi Hao was completely unconcerned. With the age limit set below thirty, who could threaten him?

Huh?

The crowd suddenly cried out in surprise, for a long shadow was cast down from the sky. Looking up, they saw a giant ship.

What!
