Chapter 1275: Choosing the Forbidden Area
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The trial grounds in the Sea Demon Royal City were a bit like the Thousand Star Proving Ground and the three Holy Lands in the Thousand Star City.
The difference was that in these trial secret realms, strange things like losing memories wouldn’t happen.
In the center of the White Sh.e.l.l Royal City, there were five teleportation arrays. According to the difficulty of the trial, they were respectively simple, ordinary, difficult, purgatory, and forbidden areas. According to the color of the teleportation array, there were five colors: white, green, blue, purple, and black.
Each of the five teleportation arrays had a diameter of about 100 meters, and the simple and ordinary teleportation arrays often sent people in and out.
In the White Sh.e.l.l Royal City, everyone needed to go to trial. This was compulsory. So all these trial secret realms, under normal circ.u.mstances, had been open all the time so that people could enter at any time.
About 80% of the residents in the White Sh.e.l.l Royal City were wandering between the simple and ordinary trial sites. This led to many people entering and exiting the arrays most of the time every day.
Of course, the teleportation array was just a teleportation array, and behind each teleportation array, there was more than one trial secret realm. As long as you entered the teleportation array, it meant that you chose this difficulty. As for which trial ground you wanted to go to, no one cared about it.
When Han Fei arrived, a Half-Venerable seemed to be already waiting here. Seeing Han Fei arrive, this person took a deep look at the Fish Dragon King and then nodded slightly. “Because very few people go to the forbidden-level trial field, most people don’t know it well. I will go with you and give you some instructions.”
Han Fei was a little indifferent. This person’s name was Yu Tianxin. He was very strong and was known as the strongest in the Dao Seeking realm in the White Sh.e.l.l Royal City. He didn’t expect this person to be in charge of opening the forbidden-level trial.
Han Fei nodded. “In that case, thank you, Master Tianxin.”
In front of the teleportation array, there happened to be a group of about twelve or thirteen people walking together, who seemed to be preparing to go to some trial secret realm together. However, as soon as these people arrived here, they were surprised to see the Fish Dragon King and Yu Tianxin, the strongest in the Dao Seeking realm in the White Sh.e.l.l Royal City, standing in the black teleportation array, which was the forbidden-level teleportation array.
Then, under their watch, the two of them walked in one after another, only to see black light swirling and a mist covering them. Where could they be seen?
The twelve or thirteen people were all stunned. This wasn’t the first time they came here, but the forbidden-level teleportation array had never been used before. Why was it used this time?
Someone exclaimed, “Who was that just now? He actually went to the forbidden-level trial field.”
Someone said with a complicated look, “It seems that you haven’t been here long enough. You don’t even know the Fish Dragon King. He’s famous for being arrogant and conceited.”
Someone sighed. “Didn’t the Fish Dragon King just fight Shrimp Youwei? He seems to be weaker than Shrimp Youwei. Is he going to the forbidden-level trial field now?”
Someone shook his head slightly. “How can it be so easy to enter the forbidden-level Proving Ground? This Fish Dragon King is arrogant and conceited. I think his chance of survival is not high.”
…
When Han Fei followed Yu Tianxin into the forbidden-level trial field, he saw a cliff that was covered with weird wrinkles, and four dark caves on the cliff.
Above the four caves, it respectively wrote:
The Well of Abyss.
Demon Suppression Tower.
The Lightning Prison.
G.o.dfiend Sea.
Just by looking at the names, Han Fei knew that none of these four places seemed simple. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be called forbidden-level trial fields. Even Heavenly Talents felt that it was hard to survive these places.
In the memory of the Fish Dragon King, there was no memory of any of these four places.
Therefore, when Han Fei saw the four Proving Grounds, he couldn’t help but be stunned. It looked too weird.
However, before Yu Tianxin could speak, Han Fei suddenly felt that the lotus petal left by the Water Immortal in Forge the Universe trembled slightly.
Han Fei was immediately refreshed and excited. Did he come to the right place?
As if sensing Han Fei’s shock, Yu Tianxin said lightly, “This is the forbidden-level trial field you want to go to. There are only four places in total. Since you want to explore them, you’ve got what you want. Now let me give you a simple explanation.”
Yu Tianxin pointed at the Well of Abyss and said, “That secret realm is an extremely deep seabed cave. It was connected to a certain abyss in the Wall of Death, and sea beasts are rampant there. They don’t care if you are a sea demon or not. In their eyes, you are just food.”
Han Fei was surprised. “The Wall of Death?”
Yu Tianxin smiled faintly. “Although the Wall of Death is terrifying, it is not terrifying everywhere. Although the Well of Abyss is connected to the Wall of Death, since this place has been established as a trial field, there is a chance for a trial, so there won’t be creatures much stronger than you. Of course, not every place in the trial field can be explored, so there should be many special places where there may be powerful sea beasts.”
Han Fei looked solemn. “In that case, is it very likely that an unknown existence beyond my ability will appear in the forbidden-level trial field?”
Yu Tianxin said, “The premise is that you can resist the temptation. Don’t explore places you can’t reach!”
Han Fei looked past the Well of Abyss and at the Demon Subduing Tower.
Yu Tianxin said, “The Demon Subduing Tower, this is the nearest forbidden area to the Wall of Death. As its name suggests, it is the place to suppress sea monsters and ferocious beasts. However, the source of the sea monsters here is the Wall of Death.”
Han Fei was shocked. “Can the creatures in the Wall of Death come out?”
Yu Tianxin said, “The Wall of Death is just a means of sealing. As long as it’s a seal, there will always be a problem. This Wall of Death has existed for countless years. Isn’t it normal to occasionally miss a few small fish?”
Han Fei asked, “Are they locked up together?”
Yu Tianxin shook her head. “Of course not. The tower is actually a cave. There are layers to the cave. The Demon Subduing Tower is an ancient place that had existed before the White Sh.e.l.l Royal City. The king once tried to enter it and also felt the danger from the bottom level of the Demon Subduing Tower, but he couldn’t enter it.”
Han Fei’s eyelids twitched, and he was dumbfounded. “Huh?”
Seeing Han Fei’s expression, Yu Tianxin smiled faintly. “Why are you panicking? That’s at the bottom level of the Demon Subduing Tower. How can it be a place that you and I can reach? The Demon Subduing Tower is divided into different realms according to the strength of the suppressed sea demon beasts. From top to bottom, there are a total of nine levels. They correspond to the Sea Spirit, Peak Sea Spirit, Dao Seeking, Peak Dao Seeking, Half-Venerable, Venerable, Peak Venerable, Half King, and King realms.”
As he said this, Yu Tianxin couldn’t help but glance at Han Fei. “I have to say that this Demon Subduing Tower is the most unsuitable for you. If you were still in the Sea Spirit Realm, with your talent, there’s a high chance that you would be able to pa.s.s through it. However, you just happened to break through to the Dao Seeking realm. Among the three realms , you are the weakest. If you enter it, you might be torn apart.”
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. He hoped that the Water Immortal wasn’t in the Demon Subduing Tower. It didn’t sound simple. How could he shake a place that could even suppress a f*cking king?
Let alone a king, logically speaking, going to the fifth level might already be his limit.
Seeming to be sure that Han Fei wouldn’t choose the Demon Subduing Tower, Yu Tianxin looked at the Thunder Prison and said, “I don’t know much about the Thunder Prison. I can only say that Master Hai Tinglei cultivated and stepped into the Dao here.”
Han Fei was taken aback for a moment. “Does Master Hai Tinglei still need to go to the forbidden trial field?”
Yu Tianxin said indifferently, “It’s more like a cultivation field than a training field. In this s.p.a.ce, what you have to face is endless lighting and thunder. As you go deeper, the intensity of the lightning and thunder becomes stronger. It is said that at the end, you can see creatures in the lightning and thunder.”
In the end, Yu Tianxin pointed at the G.o.dfiend Sea. “Among the four forbidden-level secret realms, the top three have their own characteristics. The safety of the G.o.dfiend Well can be high or low. Everything depends on your luck. The Demon Subduing Tower has experienced the precipitation of countless years. It can be said that no matter which floor you go to, the creatures you encounter are bound to be extremely powerful. As for the Thunder Prison, as long as you are confident in being able to withstand the lightning and thunder, relatively speaking, it’s the least dangerous.”
Han Fei couldn’t help narrowing his eyes. “What about the G.o.dfiend Sea”
Yu Tianxin said casually, “The G.o.dfiend Sea is in the Wall of Death.”
“Pfft!”
Han Fei looked at Yu Tianxin in shock. Are you kidding me? Can we go into the Wall of Death?
Yu Tianxin curled his lips. “Don’t look at me. As I said, the Wall of Death has been sealed for too long. It’s possible that some part of the seal was accidentally broken. This G.o.dfiend Sea is such a place, but the king restored the seal with special means and fixed the broken part. The disadvantage is that the king used some means, which can reflect the creatures in the Wall of Death. Besides, it might not be one… but a group.”
Han Fei: “…”
Han Fei was speechless at Yu Tianxin’s explanation. No place sounded simple. If there was one place that was suitable, it was the Thunder Prison, which was definitely suitable for his cultivation.
Han Fei couldn’t help asking, “How long can I stay in a forbidden-level secret realm?”
Yu Tianxin said lightly, “There is actually no limit to this. If there is a time limit, it’s seven days for the Well of Abyss and the Demon Subduing Tower, three days for the Thunder Prison, and one day for the G.o.dfiend Sea. This time limit is set just to confirm that you are still alive.”
Han Fei keenly grasped the word “no limit” and hurriedly asked, “No limit?”
Yu Tianxin said, “The time limit is set mainly to confirm that you are still alive.. If you think you can still stay inside, come out first and explain the situation. After obtaining the approval of Master Changshui Qin, you can enter again!”
