Nine Realms Sword Emperor
Chapter 600 - 601

Chapter 600: 601

Some minor opportunities, like the ones present now, are naturally looked down upon by the higher-ups of Beimang Academy, who deem them not worth competing for.

But the opportunities on Chu Fengmian, the Emperor’s Jar, the Battle Dragon Technique, the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword—if such things were to reappear in the world,

It’s feared that not a single one of the old antiques from Beimang Academy could resist their allure.

If Chu Fengmian really were to reveal these, he would truly be courting death.

Chu Fengmian doesn’t believe these old antiques could withstand the temptation.

In his past life, the Sword Dao of the Sword Dao Master was coveted by the seven major sects at all costs; they ambushed the Sword Dao Master to seize it.

The seven major sects were so desperate; it was no different for Beimang Academy.

As for real significant opportunities, like the Emperor’s Jar, those old antiques would go mad trying to snatch it up, not caring about so-called face.

At least until Chu Fengmian has survived the great life and death crisis, all these secrets must not be exposed.

"Let’s go. I will now take you two to the Beimang Holy Realm."

The Supreme Elder waved his hand, sweeping up the bodies of Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan.

Chu Fengmian did not resist, letting the Supreme Elder take him and leap into the spatial void.

The space around them was extremely distorted, a distortion that wasn’t naturally occurring.

Rather, it was twisted by powerful beings using supreme methods, forcibly creating contortions that make it impossible for travelers to perceive the path ahead.

The Supreme Elder, in this twisted space, led Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan through successive passages, until they arrived in a special space.

This space was surrounded by distortions that would deter any common person from touching.

However, the Supreme Elder, with Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan, stepped directly into this twisted space.

The surrounding space suddenly flipped upside down, and in an instant, the Supreme Elder brought Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan to another extremely ancient space.

This space was so ancient it seemed like a relic from Ancient Times.

Chu Fengmian felt that within this Holy Realm, the various laws were completely different from the outside world, much more profound and mysterious by countless times.

Cultivating here for one day was more efficient than ten days outside.

Especially since this is a remnant from the Ancient Continent, which contains numerous ancient laws that are greatly beneficial and worth pondering for Martial Artists.

"In the outside world, I can easily break through space, and even within Beimang Academy, I can now traverse through space, yet here, the space around feels as unyielding as copper walls and iron ramparts."

Chu Feng surveyed his surroundings, and could not help but sigh.

His strength was such that he could crush high-ranking life and death realm experts with ease, but here, he was unable to breach the space.

In Ancient Times, various divine beasts and innate powerful beings fought wildly.

If the realm’s laws were not robust, it’s feared the Ancient Continent would have shattered countless times; naturally, the laws of the Ancient Continent must be exceptionally strong to withstand these legendary battles.

The Nine Domains today are merely part of what evolved from the Ancient Continent, where the laws are still fragile, and a Divine Power realm can break through space.

Yet here, high-ranking life and death realm figures or even those at the pinnacle couldn’t breach the space.

"This is our Beimang Academy’s Holy Realm!"

The Supreme Elder spoke, pride suffusing his tone.

"This Beimang Holy Realm is a remnant of the Ancient Continent, full of wonders which you will understand once you arrive. Now, I shall take you to the trial."

"Though you two have been noticed by the academy and have the qualifications for promotion, if you cannot pass the trial, you still won’t be able to truly ascend to the rank of Core Disciple."

The Supreme Elder spoke coldly.

"This trial is by no means easy; there’s only about a fifty percent chance of passing. You both will need to give it your all."

"Oh?"

Chu Fengmian was somewhat surprised. The promotion to Core Disciple in Beimang Academy turned out to be quite a hassle.

Just the qualification was hard to obtain, and there were additional trials to pass afterward.

Thousands were selected, but only a few could ascend to the rank of Core Disciple.

No wonder, with such rigorous trials in the vast Beimang Academy, there were no more than a hundred Core Disciples at most.

But Chu Fengmian was filled with confidence. Given his current strength, he was touted as a Core Disciple, and even among Core Disciples, he was confident he could battle the famed Ye Tianjun.

For him, passing the trial would be a breeze.

The Supreme Elder led Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan to a plaza.

There, in the center of the plaza, was a formidable Array with a gate leading in—the trial was to take place within this Array.

"This is the Elder responsible for the trial; your assessment will be conducted by him."

The Supreme Elder brought Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan over and then stood to the side.

"Are you two, Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan, the ones participating in the trial?"

The trial Elder, sitting on a chair, glanced at Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan without raising his head and said,

"Come over here, enter this Array. Inside, there’s a demon at the sixth level of the life and death realm. The two of you must slay him to pass this trial."

"What? Sixth level of the life and death realm?"

Bai Xuan’s expression drastically changed upon hearing the trial Elder’s words.

"Isn’t the trial supposed to involve slaying a fifth level demon of the life and death realm to be considered a pass?"

Bai Xuan was also well-informed about these Core Disciple assessments, as her talent meant she had a high chance of being promoted to Core Disciple even without encountering special opportunities.

The trial was supposed to require the slaying of just a fifth-level life and death realm demon for victory.

But now, the trial Elder was talking about a sixth level.

There might only be one level difference between the fifth and sixth levels of the life and death realm, but the sixth level marked the beginning of the higher ranks.

A single level apart, yet the power difference could be several if not tenfold.

This type of trial was clearly meant to be difficult.

For someone at the limit of the Divine Power realm, defeating a high-ranking opponent in the life and death realm was virtually impossible.

The trial Elder’s eyes flickered with a cold smirk as he spoke.

"That is for normal circumstances. You two are both advancing at the same time, so it’s only natural that the difficulty increases. If the two of you can defeat this demon together, then you both pass. What’s wrong, isn’t it fair?"

"We would request that the Elder allows us, to undertake the trial separately, each facing a fifth-level demon of the life and death realm."

Bai Xuan suppressed her anger and spoke calmly.

"How about it?"
