Chapter 709

The person who had come was the vice sect master . Following his arrival, the somewhat noisy plaza immediately became silent .

The vice sect master's gaze roved around everyone . "It's time . The Xuantian Dao Sect's martial trial will soon begin .

"But before that, let me warn you all . This trial is a huge opportunity for all of you . Cherish it properly!"

Long Chen's heart shook . Shui Wuhen had also emphasized that this was an opportunity, the greatest benefit the Xuantian Dao Sect bestowed on its disciples . But she hadn't directly said what it was .

The vice sect master slowly formed a hand seal, and space began to tremble intensely . Long Chen saw the hundreds of huge stone pillars around the plaza light up with runes . The scene around him instantly changed .

"This… this is a formation?!" Long Chen was shocked . The entire plaza had actually been an enormous transportation formation .

The sky became dusky, and the blazing sun had completely disappeared . They appeared on the edge of a huge basin .

This basin had a diameter of tens of thousands of miles . The land was a shiny rock that looked as if it had been meticulously polished . It actually looked like a huge wok . What was this for? Were they supposed to cook some kind of giant stir-fry here?

"This is the first part of the trial, the Xuantian Sea!" announced the vice sect master from midair .

"Sea?" The disciples were all flabbergasted . Where was the sea?

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, heaven and earth began to tremble . Everyone hastily looked toward the basin, only to see a huge whirlpool appear . A terrifying pressure caused their hearts to tremble .

The whirlpool grew larger and larger . Endless astral winds crazily billowed out like ocean waves . Even from the edge, they felt like it was hard to breathe . They involuntarily retreated a few steps .

"This wind…" Long Chen's heart shook .

"Now you understand why this is called the Xuantian Sea . The Xuantian Dao Sect's trial isn't taking place just here . The Eastern Wasteland, Western Desert, Southern Sea, and Northern Source's branch sects are all undergoing the trial at the same time .

"The time between martial gatherings differs each time . It is decided by the head sect in the Central Plains . Sometimes it will only happen once every ten years, sometimes it will happen once every fifty years . The fact that you coincided with it this time is your luck .

"This trial is only open to Xiantian disciples . As for what the benefits are, according to the rules, you'll have to experience and test it out for yourselves . This isn't because we don't want to tell you, but because this trial is too miraculous . Each person will obtain different things, and for us to try to guide you based on other people's standards would only harm you .

"So in this trial, you'll have to grope around yourselves . As for what benefits you can obtain, it'll be up to your luck . "

The whirlpool at the basin grew larger as the vice sect master spoke . The wind was like a tide . It truly appeared like a vast sea .

"Long Chen, this tide contains endless wind energy . It's a priceless treasure to me . " Tang Wan-er pulled on Long Chen's hand excitedly .

"This tide contains the will of the Sword Dao . I can sense a majestic sword intent within it that is of great assistance to me!" said Yue Zifeng .

The others were also extremely excited . They could all sense things for themselves . But Long Chen was startled . Why couldn't he sense anything?

After another hour, everyone saw that the tide had become extremely clear . Furthermore, it was now split into different colors . The outer region was white, and then it was blue, red, and then the very core was violet .

Gradually, the wind transformed into sea waves . However, this sea wasn't made of water, but wind . Everyone finally understood how the glossy ground had come about .

"Alright, the Xuantian Sea has formed . You can choose for yourselves what region of the sea you want to stay in," announced the vice sect master .

Following his words, several people immediately went in to take a path . But they had only just entered when they were blown back by the wild winds . Those who were stronger merely vomited a mouthful of blood, while those that were weaker directly fainted .

"With their intelligence, it really is amazing they're still alive," sighed Long Chen . Long Chen really wondered how these people had managed to reach this level of cultivation .

One of those people had actually put on a dashing posture of diving into water, as if these waves were ordinary waves . As a result, just by trying to enter the edge of the whirlpool, he almost directly blew apart . People sympathized, but they were also speechless .

As for the vice sect master and the other experts, they simply watched without the slightest emotion . Most likely, they had held this trial so many times that they had long since grown indifferent to this situation .

Following a few dozen unlucky fellows who paid a miserable price, the others became smarter and entered the waves carefully .

As soon as they entered, quite a few people's expressions changed . These waves contained a powerful pressure that was exerting a constant force on their bodies, making it feel like the waves were trying to tear them apart .

Just carefully entering little by little took everything they had . They couldn't help feeling admiration for those 'brave warriors' who had tested it just now for them .

The people who managed to enter all had expressions of delight . It was obvious they had to be obtaining great benefits right now .

Following the first few people, the others no longer hesitated . Some experts even forced their way past the pressure and rushed in . That was because the deeper they went, the greater the pressure and the greater the benefits .

"Let's go too . "

Long Chen led the thirty-sixth supermonastery's disciples into the basin . When the waves landed on his body, he finally understood why those people were all so excited .

Within these waves were all the various energies of heaven and earth . Huo Long and Lei Long almost charged out on their own .

"Don't fuss . I'll help you absorb it as much as possible . " Long Chen hastily tried to control them . If they charged out, they would be too frightening, especially Lei Long .

During the tribulation last time, Lei Long had absorbed all the human-shaped lightnings . Its strength had reached a level that even Long Chen found terrifying . Although Huo Long had beast flames to absorb energy from, compared to Lei Long, the difference was immense . There was no way around it . Lei Long had had far too much food to consume .

To compare, Lei Long had eaten meat, while Huo Long was consuming tree bark and grass . One was so fat that oil was about to come out of it, while the other was skin and bones . They were not on the same level .

"What dense wind energy!" exclaimed Tang Wan-er .

Long Chen knew that this 'sea' contained endless benefits . And the deeper you went, the greater the benefits .

Even cultivators without an element could use the energy here to temper the physical body, stabilize the foundation, and comprehend the Heavenly Daos . Shui Wuhen had been entirely correct when she said that this was an immense opportunity .

This kind of opportunity was something only an enormous existence like the Xuantian Dao Sect had the qualifications to give . This was the power of a huge sect, power that other sects could never hope to obtain .

"Heavens, Yue Qianshan has already reached the blue region!"

The Xuantian Sea's outer region took up tens of thousands of miles, while the core region was only a few hundred miles . That core was the violet region .

Outside the core region was a red region . This region was three thousand miles wide . Then there was the blue region which was ten thousand miles wide .

The rest was the white region . This was the largest region, and it was because it was all white that it looked more like coastal waters . This was the weakest region .

However, for these people, going through this white region would require pausing every now and then in order to adjust to the new pressure . Only then could they continue .

Long Chen raised his head to see a back with a sword on it in the distance . That figure had just charged into the blue region .

"How fast . His movement technique seems extremely powerful, and…" Long Chen's heart suddenly shook .

That figure was like a shadow as it advanced, completely ignoring this terrifying pressure . It was like he himself was a sword cutting through the resistance .

"What a powerful sword intent . It has already condensed into a solid state," praised Yue Zifeng as he looked at that figure .

"There's no need to be envious . He's not your target . " Long Chen patted Yue Zifeng on the shoulder .

Yue Zifeng nodded . He understood what Long Chen meant . Since he followed Long Chen, then any powerful opponents were only there for him to surpass . While he had been shaken by Yue Qianshan's power just now, he immediately returned to his calm and confident state .

"Zhao Wuji has also gotten through!"

"Shui Guanzhi as well!"

"Oh, Zhong Wuyan refuses to fall behind . They truly are worthy of being the Four Heavenly Geniuses . " Some disciples couldn't help praising them, as they were filled with worship .

The ordinary disciples hadn't even advanced three thousand miles into the white region, but the heavenly geniuses had already charged into the blue region . That was a show of their power .

"Long Chen, how about you go as well? I can lead the others," said Tang Wan-er .

She knew that if Long Chen were to charge forward as well, he definitely wouldn't be any lacking compared to them . It was just that he was looking after the others .

"What's the point of competing with a bunch of children? Let's just slowly continue forward . I've long since surpassed the age of wanting to show off like that . " Long Chen shook his head .

"If you put it like that, you'll seem just like those old fossils up there," laughed Tang Wan-er .

"Foolish girl, they can hear everything that's happening here . Don't you see the formation around them? That's to observe us," warned Long Chen . There was no way that anything happening here could escape their eyes .

But it was already too late . Long Chen saw that the family heads' expressions grew ugly . The vice sect master's expression became a bit odd as well, while Shui Wuhen had an expression between laughter and tears .

Tang Wan-er stuck out her tongue and nervously asked, "What should I do?"

"It's fine . Saying that I'm like those old fossils is praising them . They should feel happy about it, not offended . I'm sure big figures like them are very magnanimous, or they would have wasted all their years . Let's keep going . " Long Chen didn't particularly care . In any case, the vice sect master at least appeared slightly younger than the family heads . It was fine as long as they didn't offend him .
