Chapter 707: Chapter 693: Illusion Ends, Token Struggle (Subscription Request 8/20)_1

[Extra Chapter, please subscribe!] In the entire Secret Realm, Xiao Chen had scattered thousands of White Jade Bottles. At this moment, the number of warriors who had broken through the Illusions had reached as many as twenty thousand. The majority of these warriors are Blood Refining Realm warriors, while a few were at the peak of Bone-Tempering Realm.

The Martial Arts Great Pill in the White Jade Bottles, for warriors at the peak of Bone-Tempering Realm, is a supreme Spiritual Pill for advancing their realms. For Blood Refining Realm warriors, it likewise has an enhancing effect on their cultivation. But with so many people and so few pills, who would be able to obtain it depended entirely on their own fortune.

At this moment, among the warriors who had yet to break through the Illusion, there was a young man dressed in black. The Illusion right in front of Xiao Chen, reflected in the Green Light Mirror, was this young man’s.

The youngster’s Illusion was a graveyard full of swords, where treasure swords densely peppered an entire hill, including iron swords, bronze swords, stone swords, and golden swords. Some swords thrust straight into the Sky Vault, some were broken in two and were strewn on the ground. As the yellow sand rolled in, these treasure swords were either buried by the wind and sand or eroded by time until they were filled with patches. The slightest touch would turn them into fragments.

The air in the Illusion was filled with an oppressive killing intent. A fierce wind blew, and the sharp Sword Energy permeated the Void. This was the overwhelming sea of Swordsmanship. The young man held an iron sword in his hand, demonstrating a cold and cutting aura without any particular technique, but each slash shattered the oncoming Sword Energy.

He was using the Illusion to manifest the Sword Essence hidden deep within his heart, refining his determination in Swordsmanship!

"Husband, this young man is strong-willed. He’s challenging his own limits!"

Nianhua pointed at the Green Light Mirror and said, referring to the black-clothed young man.

In the Green Light Mirror, after spending a long time in the Illusion, this young man was exhausting vastly, daring to squeeze his own limits to the breaking point beyond what most would. It was hard enough to break through the Illusion, yet he continued to push himself harder and harder.

"What a dedicated swordman, he wants to comprehend the purest form of Swordsmanship!"

Xiao Chen nodded. The young man’s perseverance was indeed admirable.

Swordsmanship has its Way, spear has its Essence, and this is the purest Way of weaponry. Even he had not grasped the true Essence of the spear. To comprehend Sword Dao and be proficient at Swordsmanship, achieving true unity between the sword and man, this is what Xiao Chen admired about the young man’s action at this moment.

He could tell that this young man was pushing his limits hard, and he would not stop until the trial ended.

Deep in the Illusion, endless fatigue continuously eroded his mind. Under such strain, the normal person would have already given up. Even now, the speed of the young man’s sword strikes had gradually slowed down. Some of the fierce Sword Energy had even lashed at him. Although it wouldn’t inflict real wounds in the Illusion, the pain was still very real.

Despite the unbearable pain, the young man continued to sword-fight!

"I will not give up. My Father said, only by breaking myself, can I be sincere to my sword. Sword Island is too weak. It cannot teach me the true sharpness of Sword Dao!"

"Sword Island is just an ordinary gathering place for wandering swordsmen. My Father said that he was able to grasp the Killing Essence after watching the interment left behind by the Gu Yuan Tribe Leader. On this vast land, only in Gu Yuan Tribe do I have a chance to progress further."

"All Ways lead to the same destination. I have already sensed the edge of Sword Island’s Sharpness. I am only one step away, but this step is as difficult as a giant abyss. I hope the War God Temple will help me take this step and forge the true Sword Dao!"

While swinging his sword, the young man constantly muttered to himself, boosting his spirit. He was from Sword Island, started practicing swordsmanship at the age of five, and was extremely fond of Swordsmanship, yet he wasn’t able to truly master it.

Until the news about the establishment of the War God Temple reached Sword Island, the island Master, who was also his father, a man obsessed with swordsmanship but unable to comprehend the true Sword Dao, told him to go to the Gu Yuan Tribe to participate in the War God Temple trial. That’s why he came here!

Swoosh!

The sword in the young man’s hand gave a light hum, a burst of sharpness shot up from the iron sword, and a sword separated the entire Illusion of sword.

Crack!

A faint spatial ripple spread out, the illusion was actually split open by the young man’s one sword.

"This young man is not bad, with a great combination of temperament, talent, and potential. Husband, why not accept him as a disciple as well!" Seeing the young man split open the Illusion with one sword, Mu Qing could not help but speak.

"Hmm, let’s wait until the trial is over." Xiao Chen nodded and replied. This young man was indeed to his taste.

"The first trial is about to end, it’s time for me to go out too!"

He said with a turn of his voice, speaking to his two wives, and the next moment his figure disappeared from the pavilion.

Soon, Xiao Chen reappeared on the high platform and signaled to the mass of warriors. As for Xiao Chen’s disappearance as soon as he entered the Secret Realm, everyone did not show any confusion. After all, in their minds, Xiao Chen had refined the original source of this Secret Realm Space, it would be very easy for him to avoid their detection.

At this moment, there were still more than 3000 warriors who hadn’t awaken yet. Not only Xiao Chen but also the elders and clan leaders behind him showed no mercy for these youngsters who were immersed in their desires and couldn’t extricate themselves.

Among the remaining individuals, there were wandering martial artists, young warriors from various tribes that had come for the assessment, warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe, and even the Vajra Venerable One himself. Two of them were from his Bai Ze Marquis Division. Personal will and belief were a warrior’s own domain, unknowable to others. If one would lose themselves, it was only because their will wasn’t strong enough. Such individuals would not get far on the path of martial arts.

Swish!

Subsequently, thousands of green lights showered from above the sky vault, enveloping the lost warriors, transporting them outside the Secret Realm. At the same time, these warriors fell into a coma. Whether they could awaken would depend on their fate.

"The first trial has ended!"

Xiao Chen’s voice echoed throughout the Secret Realm Space. At this moment, only twenty thousand warriors remained. And this was merely the first trial.

"Elder Xiao, isn’t this trial a bit too harsh?"

Looking at the young warriors in the Secret Realm who passed the test, someone behind Xiao Chen finally dared to vocalize their concern.

Nearly eighty thousand young warriors had entered the trials, but fewer than twenty thousand remained. Three out of every four were eliminated. This was a harsh ratio indeed, and several tribes’ entire contingents of young warriors had been annihilated, with not a single one passing the trial.

"The War God Temple requires people with outstanding talent and strong will. Those who were eliminated were simply unworthy of entering due to inadequate talent." Xiao Chen remained unyielding to the warrior’s questioning.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Chen addressed the warriors below who passed the trial, saying, "After the trial in the illusion today, you will have three days to recover your strength. The second trial of the War God Temple will begin in three days!"

The next moment, sky vault above Secret Realm filled with a shower of the blockchain light that fell on each surviving young warrior. As the green light dissipated, a bronze token appeared in their hands. Engraved on the token were two simple, ancient characters: War God!

"This is your proof for passing the first trial. If you lose it, you will not be allowed to participate in the second trial!"

With that, Xiao Chen fell silent, turned, and landed on the stone platform. He addressed the numerous Tribal Elders, saying, "The first trial is over. Everyone has worked hard. I, Xiao Chen, and the Gu Yuan Tribe have prepared a meal with medicinal food and spiritual beverages for everyone. Please, come with me to our tribe."

Xiao Chen’s words brought a flash of joy to the eyes of many warriors. They all remembered the wonderful taste of the spiritual beverages in the Great Hall from last time. Even some average warriors of the Towering Realm, using the power of the spiritual beverages, made substantial progress.

As Xiao Chen and others left the Secret Realm, the remaining warriors also began to leave, heading to the city walls outside Mountain City. The Gu Yuan Tribe’s living quarters had already been constructed there.

However, the eliminated warriors did not leave. They also moved into the simple dwellings.

"Elder Xiao, you really are impartial. This time more than ten thousand of our tribe’s warriors participated in the trial, but fewer than two thousand passed. Even a significant portion of our warriors were completely lost within the illusion, ending as invalids!"

In a house, the seven heroes of the Gu Yuan Tribe once again gathered as Huang Feng spoke out.

"That’s their issue, they lacked resolve. Who else can be blamed when they got lost within the illusion of their own making!" Feng Ling coldly huffed in response to Huang Feng’s words.

"Alright, stop bickering! We’ve only cleared the first trial, and it’s already this demanding. Let’s think about how to get through the next two trials!"

"What’s there to worry about? When the soldiers arrive, I’ll block them, When the water comes, I’ll cover them with soil. No matter what the trial is, I, Xiong Sheng, can break it with one punch!" Xiong Sheng spoke with a full voice, his robust arms bulging with veins.

"Why do you think the Clan Leader banished us from the city and made us live here, while those who were eliminated were not sent away, but live with us instead?"

"The eliminated ones did not lose themselves in the illusion. They simply fell into a coma due to exhaustion and were sent out of the Secret Realm. The Clan Leader has stated that they’ve been eliminated, but he did not say they couldn’t participate in the following trials!"

Turning the Bronze Token in his hand, a glint appeared in Tian Fang’s eyes.

"They don’t have any Bronze Tokens, how will they participate in the next phase of the trial?"

"They might not have the tokens, but we do!" Fang Tian whispered softly.

What?!

The words of Fang Tian resulted in astonishment among the others. They each took out their respective Bronze Tokens, studying the ’War God’ inscription. There was no other mark that could prove their identity.

This meant that three days later, whoever had the token could participate in the second trial!

This dwelling, built along the low hillside, stretched for several miles. Whether in a group or alone, there were still some cunning minds among the warriors who quickly understood Xiao Chen’s intentions.
