Chapter 1395: Chapter 1395: Trial by fire begins
Translator: 549690339
The news spread throughout the three great sects, and it was about a trial by fire.
The trial by fire immediately attracted the attention of everyone. Some of the cultivators who had been in secluded meditation for years were moved, and chose to leave.
That was because… this was no ordinary trial by fire. This was… the trial by fire of the desire to hear Lord!
The Lord of desire to hear had chosen to take first place in the trial by fire. He would accept him as a disciple and become a direct disciple. In all the years that had pa.s.sed since then, the high and mighty lord of desire to hear had only taken part in three trials by fire.
Of the three direct disciples, all of them had been the focus of attention in the city of desire to hear. In the end, because of their enlightenment of the Great Dao of desire to hear, they had chosen to remain in secluded meditation until now. Their deeds had been remembered by all of the cultivators in the city of desire to hear, had always been remembered by the cultivators of the city of listening desire.
!!
To any cultivator of the three sects, becoming a disciple of the Master of listening desire was a supreme honor. Therefore, when the purpose of this trial by fire was announced, the enthusiasm of the three sects soared, anyone who felt that they were qualified to fight for it was filled with fighting spirit.
At the same time, in this trial by fire, only the first place would be accepted as a disciple by the Master of listening desire. However, the second and third places also had shocking rewards. The following rankings were also the same. It could be said that as long as one was in the top ten, the benefits would be enormous, it would be more than ten times more than if one went into seclusion.
As a result, even the cultivators who were not qualified to fight for first place were filled with antic.i.p.ation.
However, just as the announcement spread throughout the three sects and countless cultivators went crazy over it, w.a.n.g Baole, who was meditating in his cave abode, opened his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the jade slip in his hand. The contents of the announcement reverberated in his mind. After a long while.., a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
If not for the seven emotions joyous Lord’s announcement, w.a.n.g Baole would have had to admit that he wouldn’t have been able to get too many clues from the trial. However, things were different now. With the words of the joyous lord in front of him.., w.a.n.g Baole seemed to have the qualifications to peel away the fog. He saw the cruelty hidden behind the fog of the trial.
“The first place winner was taken in as a disciple by the master of listening desire, but in reality… he possessed me.”
“From the looks of it, the first three times the master of listening desire took in disciples over the years should have been the same. That’s why the first three personal disciples went into seclusion to conceal their ident.i.ty. In reality… the three of them have already become the three avatars of the Master of listening desire, which is also the sect masters of the three great sects.”
w.a.n.g Baole shook his head slightly, but the desire to fight slowly rose in his heart.
It was different from what others wanted. What he wanted was not only the first place, but also… thirty percent of the law of listening!
What he wanted was the moment the Music Dao Avatar possessed him. He wanted to reverse everything, plunder everything from the other party, and make it a great tonic for himself.
Once I do that… then even though I’m still inferior to the law of listening to desire, even if the Music Dao avatar personally makes a move, he still won’t be able to do anything to me
“Because our differences in the law of listening… are no longer so great!”
There seemed to be a flame burning in w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes. The flame had a name: ambition.
In the midst of his wild ambitions, w.a.n.g Baole closed his eyes and continued to comprehend his own notes, silently waiting for time to pa.s.s. According to the notice, the trial would officially begin in half a month’s time.
At the same time, Yue Lingzi from the chord sect, who was extremely beautiful, felt a wave of emotions in her heart. She was not completely confident that she would be able to defeat everyone in this trial and become number one.
Other than the older generation cultivators who had been in seclusion for many years and had reached an unknown level, the most important opponent for me… is Yin Xi from the Dao of music
There were two dao children of the Dao of music. One was named Zong Hengzi, and the other was Yin XI. The former was obsessed with music, and was extraordinary in his own right. He was very famous, and the latter was extremely mysterious and low-key. Outsiders only knew his name, and rarely saw him face to face.
To Yue Lingzi, the Dao children of the other two sects, including s.h.i.+ Lingzi of her own sect, were all people she was confident of defeating. Only Yin Xi… . Therefore, after a moment of silence, Yue Lingzi gently pulled out an incomplete music score, her eyes flickered with hesitation.
At the same time, s.h.i.+ Lingzi was preparing for the trial by fire. However, compared to Yue Lingzi’s determination to get first place, s.h.i.+ Lingzi was doing his best to support him. He felt that perhaps this was a chance to find his enemy.
Based on his memories of his enemy, he felt that this fellow was very powerful, and was qualified to fight for the top ten. Unless he held back this time, he would definitely be able to find him.
“If I find you, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I’ll make you regret humiliating me!”s.h.i.+ Lingzi snorted coldly. However, he also knew that there was a high possibility that he wouldn’t be able to see him.
If he really held back and didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the trial by fire, then he would be very happy. After all, he was qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the trial by fire, but because of him, he couldn’t. That loss was a source of happiness for s.h.i.+ Lingzi.
Dao children from the other two sects were also making preparations. Whether it was the two handsome male cultivators from the zither sect or the music-obsessed Zong Hengzi, they were all doing everything they could to improve themselves.
Other than that, the older generation of cultivators from the three sects were also doing the same thing. They were grinding their fists, as if they wanted to shock everyone in the trial by fire.
Time pa.s.sed, and half a month pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
When the day of the trial by fire arrived, the sound of a bell tolling echoed out through the three sects. At the same time, the ident.i.ty medallions of the disciples of the three sects began to s.h.i.+ne with brilliant light.
The light was filled with the power of teleportation. Any disciples who wished to partic.i.p.ate in the trial by fire did not need to register. They only needed to send their divine sense into the jade slip, and they would be teleported to the trial by fire.
The form of the trial was unknown to the trial-takers before they entered. In the past three trials, some had entered the mystic realm, while others had gone through multiple trials. However, no one knew what was going to happen this time.
However, to w.a.n.g Baole, these weren’t important. He looked at the jade slip in his hand and felt the hundred thousand notes that had been stacked in his body, as well as the complete ancient tune that he had finally created over the past few days, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately infused his divine thoughts into the jade slip. His figure disappeared in the next instant.
At the same time, in the depths of the three volcanoes that represented the Dao of music in the dark night, a figure sat cross-legged amidst the black flames.
The figure’s aura was very weak, and his expression was one of pain. His entire body was filled with cracks and rot, and he was on the verge of collapse. He seemed to be doing his best to maintain his body so that it did not fall apart.
As he struggled for his last breath, the figure opened his eyes. There was no longer any black in them, and they were covered with a layer of white paste. It was as if even the act of opening his eyes caused the figure to feel incomparable pain.
However, the figure still tried his best to open his eyes and look forward.
