Chapter 487: Trial Begins

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the trial to begin.

Brilliant starlight rose from the huge teleportation array. It was dreamlike and very beautiful.

Then, Chen An, who was in the array, felt his vision blur. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar illusion.

It was a forest.

The vegetation was very dense and lush.

At a glance, there were towering ancient trees that towered into the clouds everywhere. The surroundings emitted an ancient aura.

Chen An knew that this was the trial ground that had a natural sealing effect.

Soon, he tried to spread his divine consciousness to investigate the terrain of the forest.

But it failed.

The spiritual qi in his body was really sealed and he could not use his divine consciousness.

“This forest has most likely naturally formed a high-level Spirit Sealing Array. It’s the work of nature…” Chen An thought.

After that, he calmed his mind and focused. He retreated and used his facial features to sense his surroundings.

However, this forest was even more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. Even his facial features and senses could be restricted.

Although he could not completely block it, his perception range had greatly narrowed, leaving only a radius of a mile to sense.

“I can’t sense any disciples from the Holy Land within a mile. It seems that the area of this trial ground is not small. It’s not a simple small forest.”

“The rules of the assessment are that as long as you reach the top and obtain the flag, you can win. Then, there will most likely be many obstacles in this forest. It might be a trap or an enemy.”

“I still know too little about this forbidden area. Next, I can only walk up blindly.”

Chen An thought for a while and made this decision.

After thinking about it, he immediately took action and walked towards the top of the mountain.

In the forest under his feet, the spiritual qi in his body was sealed. He could not use various divine powers and spells. What he relied on was the strength of his body.

[The disciple of the Hundred Flowers Hall, Zhao Hechuan, was eliminated by the disciple of the Talisman Hall, Yuan Shen.]

[The disciple of the Hundred Flowers Hall, Wu Wudi, was eliminated by the Talisman Hall’s disciple, Yuan Shen.]

[Disciple of the Weapon Forgery, Wu Zhongchu, was eliminated by the Alchemy Hall disciple, Hong Ming.]

[Disciple of the Heaven Secrets Hall, Li Cheng’en, was eliminated by the forest obstacle, “Demon”.]

[…]

Chen An had not gone far when several notifications suddenly popped up in his sea of consciousness.

This was not a notification from the Holy Father Palace.

Instead, it came from the transfer talisman in his sea of consciousness.

“This transfer talisman actually has such a function?”

Chen An looked at the notification in his sea of consciousness and was a little surprised. He felt that it was a little magical.

He glanced at the contents of the notification. When he saw the names “Zhao Hechuan” and “Wu Wudi”, he almost laughed.

The two of them had even said that they wanted to be bandit cultivators, but they were eliminated the moment they entered.

It was true that the humor was maxed out.

It was a little funny.

“Mountain forest obstacle? Demon? Are you referring to the demons living in this trial ground?”

Chen An guessed in his heart.

After some thought, he felt that his guess should be right.

Compared to human beings, demon creatures were born with powerful bodies. In a situation where both sides could not use spiritual power, their strength could easily crush humans. They could be used as an obstacle for the trial.

‘I wonder if there are any beast-eared girls…’ Chen An’s lust was stirring.

As he thought about it, he quickened his pace, planning to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible and end this trial so that he could go home early to accompany his wives and daughters.

In the outside world.

Hundred Spirit Holy Land.

There was a huge projection floating in the sky in many places.

It was projecting the situation in the trial grounds.

This was the Holy Lord’s doing. The goal was to let everyone in the Holy Land understand the situation in the trial ground very well so that everyone could watch the live broadcast.

In the Chen Residence.

Chen An’s wives and daughters were all gathered in the hall to watch the scene of the trial grounds.

It was Han Shuiyi who used a spell to broadcast the projection outside into the residence so that everyone could watch it at home.

“Ah? It can’t be, right? How could my husband’s two teammates be eliminated the moment they entered? How can they drag my husband down like this!” Jiu Ji said angrily.

Gu Xinyue said worriedly, “I hope you won’t encounter any obstacles in the forest and can safely go all the way until the end of the trial.”

“So many fruits! Why are the fruits there so big? Mother, can you send a voice transmission to Father and ask him to pick some fruits for the nest to eat?” Chen Yike tugged at Wen Zhiyun’s sleeve and asked.

The current Wen Zhiyun was no longer as fierce to her as before. When she heard this, she only rolled her eyes at her angrily and said, “All you know is to eat and eat all day. If you want to eat, pluck the Sage Fruit and eat it. Otherwise, roast that Treasure-Hunting Mouse and eat it. Don’t bother your father.”

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!” The squirrel-like Treasure-Hunting Mouse had a lot of objections.

Wen Zhiyun was annoyed to death. She immediately grabbed the

Treasure-Hunting Mouse’s tail and twisted it. She swung it towards the Sage Tree not far away and disappeared into the leaves with a whoosh.

I wonder how long this trial will take to end. The days without my husband accompanying me in bed are a little unbearable… Song Huaying looked at Chen An in the projection and felt very worried.

In front of the teleportation array.

The upper echelons of the Holy Land were paying close attention to the projections in front of them.

There were dozens of projections.

Every participant had an exclusive projection.

Once the contestants were eliminated, the projection they belonged to would disappear.

“Hall Master Hua, your disciple from the Hundred Flowers Hall is not very good. He has just been teleported to the trial ground. Why was he eliminated by the Talisman Hall?”

The Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall, Zhu Yange, looked at Hua Xuanyin with a faint smile.

Hua Xuanyin completely pretended not to hear this ridicule.

However, Zhu Yange did not intend to let her off just like that. She continued to say in her ear, “Hall Master Hua, your two disciples are really embarrassing your Hundred Flowers Hall. You have to punish them properly after the trial.” “If you don’t know how to punish, then let me help you. 1 know how to punish disciples.”

“You don’t have to be afraid of troubling me. After all, the capable do more work.”

Hua Xuanyin couldn’t take it anymore. With a dark expression, she stood up and left her seat.

However, just as she got up and took a few steps, a cold female voice came from a certain pavilion on the high platform.

“Before the trial ends, Hall Masters, please abide by the rules and be a good audience.”

This was the Holy Lord’s voice.

The reason why she arranged for the upper echelons of the Holy Land to gather and watch the Newcomer Trial was to embarrass those Hall Masters who had not led the hall well. She wanted them to lose face among their colleagues and play a supervising role.

If they didn’t want to lose face, they would try their best to lead their disciples well.

Hua Xuanyin was the Holy Lord’s disciple and had been afraid of her since she was young. When she heard this, she could only sit back down.
