#157 - Unfavorable situation
Yun Qianxue's explanation enlightened Qing Ling, Luo Qianqian, and Xia Qiuyue.
However, the three women's expressions quickly changed as a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts.
"The fact that disciples below the Lord Realm can participate in the Demon Sealing Trial means… doesn't it mean that our Profound Peak will have to compete directly with the numerous Venerable Realm disciples from the other eleven main peaks?"
"But… we have so few people on Profound Peak…"
The three women exchanged glances, their moods sinking slightly.
Even Su Chen, the strongest among them, hasn't broken through to the Venerable Realm yet.
Moreover, the number of disciples on Profound Peak is too small, so they will definitely suffer a great loss!
This Demon Sealing Trial is very unfavorable for Profound Peak.
It's almost foreseeable that Profound Peak will be at the bottom and that their performance in the trial will be far below that of the other main peaks!
Zi Xuan frowned slightly and said, "The Demon Sealing Trial was originally held once every thousand years, but only nine hundred years have passed since the last one. Logically speaking, there should still be a hundred years left. I don't know why the Holy Land has decided to start the Demon Sealing Trial early."
Luo Qianqian gnawed on her small tiger teeth and said indignantly, "It must be the Holy Master's lineage and the Tang family who are manipulating things behind the scenes, deliberately trying to disgust our Profound Peak. Starting the Demon Sealing Trial early is to make our Profound Peak lose face and make us watch helplessly as the other main peaks receive a large amount of resource rewards…"
"A bunch of bad guys!"
It must be said that Luo Qianqian's guess is also very reasonable.
Yun Qianxue and the others also had similar thoughts, but they didn't have any evidence.
"This decision has already been approved by the Council of Elders and will not be changed."
"What we can do is to try our best to improve our strength and perform as well as possible in the Demon Sealing Trial. Don't push yourselves too hard, and also be careful to guard against the targeting of disciples from other main peaks."
Yun Qianxue said, "Next, you will follow me to the Profound Peak Treasure Vault and choose more magical treasures. Take whatever you can use, don't be stingy, anyway, there are few people on Profound Peak."
Having fewer people also has its advantages, as the resources that can be allocated to each person are greatly increased.
However, Su Chen didn't need the treasures of Profound Peak.
He had the Extreme Lightning Bow and the Profound Jade Shield, two sacred artifacts that were both offensive and defensive.
He also had the Lightning Cutting Blade, the Three Talents Sword Formation, and other seventh-order magical treasures. He had too many treasures, and any more would be useless.
Qing Ling had also obtained many magical treasures since she had been following Su Chen for this period of time, so she wasn't lacking anything either.
Therefore, only Luo Qianqian and Xia Qiuyue selected some magical treasures from the Profound Peak Treasure Vault.
Two and a half days later.
Cloud ships rose from the twelve main peaks, heading towards the Demon Sealing Land together.
The Demon Sealing Land was located in the vast wilderness, surrounded by one hundred and eight huge stone pillars, each of which was engraved with ancient and sacred patterns, flowing with a magnificent aura.
There were countless runes imprinted in the void, like stars in the sky, flickering with mysterious light and intertwined with each other.
These stone pillars echoed the runes, forming a vast and boundless formation that completely covered the Demon Sealing Land.
The Demon Sealing Land was very vast, with mountains, rivers, and many dilapidated building ruins.
However, the Demon Sealing Land was filled with a hazy black mist, covering the sky and the earth, making it impossible to see the scene clearly.
The numerous cloud ships of the Azure Profound Holy Land stopped in front of the Demon Sealing Land.
An Ancestor of the Holy Realm stepped into the air, emitting a vast and turbulent holy might, sweeping in all directions.
With a wave of his hand, tokens shot out like shooting stars, accurately landing in front of every disciple of the Azure Profound Holy Land.
"These are your identity tokens. After refining them with blood, carry them with you. When you kill demons, the tokens will record points based on the cultivation realm of the demons killed."
"Killing a Profound Spirit Realm demon earns one point, killing a Transformation Dao Realm demon earns one hundred points, killing a Venerable Realm demon earns ten thousand points, and killing a Lord Realm demon earns one million points!"
"There are twenty-four Demon Suppression Seals in the Demon Sealing Land, which have been damaged after nine hundred years of demonic energy erosion."
"Two and a half hours after the start of the trial, I will randomly release twenty-four formation repair stones into the Demon Sealing Land, each of which can repair one Demon Suppression Seal."
"Disciples who successfully repair the Demon Suppression Seal will receive additional rewards for all the disciples of their main peak, and the individual will receive an additional one million points."
"This Demon Sealing Trial will last for three days."
"During the trial, you can fight each other, but you are not allowed to kill each other."
"After the trial, rankings and rewards will be determined based on the total points of all the disciples of each main peak."
"The top ten individuals in points will receive special rewards."
"The Eye of Heaven Formation will monitor this trial throughout. Your every move will be observed by us, and any behavior that violates the rules will have nowhere to hide."
The Holy Realm Ancestor's voice was calm and steady, like a great bell, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
After all the disciples had refined their identity tokens, the Holy Realm Ancestor said in a deep voice, "Now, the Demon Sealing Trial begins!"
As his voice fell, several Elders of the Council acted at the same time, urging the tokens and releasing rays of brilliant light.
The great formation covering the Demon Sealing Land trembled slightly, and the runes intertwined, revealing a gate.
With a "whoosh", all the disciples from the twelve main peaks rushed out of the cloud ships,
either flying on swords or stepping into the air, rushing into the Demon Sealing Land in a swarm.
At the same time.
Countless runes intertwined in the sky above the Demon Sealing Land, forming one "Eye of Heaven" after another, covering the Demon Sealing Land in all directions without dead angles.
Even more light screens lit up in the air, clearly showing the scenes in various places of the Demon Sealing Land.
The Holy Land experts outside the Demon Sealing Land could observe the actions of all the disciples through these light screens.
After entering the Demon Sealing Land, except for Profound Peak, the disciples of the remaining eleven main peaks quickly dispersed into groups of three or five.
The eleven main peaks were not lacking in disciples.
The least had one or two hundred disciples, and the most even had nearly a thousand.
Naturally, it was impossible for so many disciples to act together, and dispersing into small teams was the most suitable choice.
"Su Chen, Profound Peak!"
"Heh heh heh…"
Tang Chuan and Chu Fan and the others glanced at Su Chen and Qing Ling's group with a sneer, and then quickly rushed into the depths of the Demon Sealing Land.
Just as Su Chen's group was about to act, suddenly, four young men and women quickly walked over.
The leader was petite, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with snow-white long hair tied into two pigtails, and a delicate and lovely face that made people want to pinch her.
She carried a silver war hammer that was even bigger than her body on her shoulder, raised her head and glanced at Su Chen, and put one hand on her hip.
Her voice was clear and melodious, but she looked like an old man, and said, "Hey, you are Su Chen, right?"
