Standing in front of the hidden trial, everyone had eyes full go greed and eagerness to enter them.Well, who wouldn"t?
Obtaining special rewards like strong bloodlines, cultivation techniques, and so on were possible by clearing the trial which waited for them.
So who wouldn"t want to do that?
But to obtain such great resources they"d definitely need to pa.s.s a lot of difficulties.
And most importantly, these trials were usually something which only allowed one or maybe two of them to enter at the same time.
Due to this, they"d either have to go in alone or with someone else from the group.
Unfortunately, none of them felt confident in clearing the hidden trial on their own or asking for Jian Shen who was the strongest among them for help.
So, since none of them wanted to die inside the hidden trial which was very much possible they all chose to just stand there and look at each other until someone finally entered it.
Jian Shen, however, had almost no interest in taking part in the hidden trial.
This was because he had spoken with the two swords and learnt that they were unable to sense anything special about the hidden trial which meant that there would be no great rewards waiting for him even if he cleared it.
...
"Huh... What should we do? Are we all just going to pa.s.s this opportunity and let someone else obtain the benefits?"
"What benefits? They"ll need to enter and clear the trial by themselves anyway."
While most of them in the group were willing to forget about the trial and continue exploring the ruins, there was just one person who was unwilling to do so.
She was the very same woman who tried to get close to Jian Shen first and was still trying her best to try and make him fall for her.

Though Jian Shen literally couldn"t pay her any less attention, she had never once stopped trying and kept on flirting with him to the best of her ability.
This was why she was trying to enter the hidden trial and attract Jian Shen"s attention by showing how much better she was than that unlucky Meirong whom he kept beside her all the time.
That was when an idea struck her.
She didn"t need to be the one who entered the dangerous trial, she could just have Meirong enter it. And given how unlucky she was it was guaranteed that she wouldn"t walk out alive leaving Jian Shen all to herself.
Thinking so, she sneakily looked towards Jian Shen who was standing in the distance and observing the path they would be taking next while Meirong was right in front of the trial"s entrance and trying her best to see through the pitch-black darkness.
Grinning cruelly, she discretely moved close to Meirong and gave the completely absorbed woman a push on the back which immediately made her stumble her way inside the door.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Screaming loudly to grab everyone"s attention, the woman who just pushed Meirong inside the trial put on an act to make it look like she just witnessed something horrible.
"Mei... Meirong tripped and entered the trial!"
Due to how unlucky Meirong was, no one really doubted that such a thing had happened and all believed in her words.
But Jian Shen who couldn"t care any less of how it happened rushed near the trial to see if it was possible for him to enter it as well.
"Stoppppppp!"
"Don"t enter!!!"
Ignoring the serious sounding words of Juew.a.n.g and Qingyu, Jian Shen himself also disappears inside the pitch darkness after which the entrance to the hidden trial completely disappears showing that no one else could enter it.
...
"Meirong! Where are you!"
Screaming while standing in a location that was covered in darkness on all sides, Jian Shen despite not even being able to see his own hands sounded more concerned about Meirong who entered the trial before him.
"You idiot! Why did enter?!!!"
"Huh? I couldn"t just let something happen to Meirong. And didn"t you say this trial wasn"t anything special?"
"Not anything special?"
The voice which just sounded out wasn"t something that Jian Shen was familiar with and heard for the first time ever.
"Since when has my Trial of Sacrifice not been something special? Are you looking down on me Myriad G.o.d Sword?!"
"This trial... It is to try and obtain one of the Heavenly Creations. I originally didn"t realize it and only did after the trial was opened with Meirong entering it."
"This trial is something which has never been cleared by anyone, husband. All that have entered it die for sure."
"A new spirit? Looks like being split into pieces finally made the old spirit disappear."
Hearing the same voice again, Jian Shen realized that he couldn"t even tell if the voice was male or female and where it was coming from.
"Even though you are the owner of a Heavenly Creation, since you entered my trial you"ll need to follow my rules. Losing this trial means death even for you."
"But before we get started, let"s talk about the woman who entered here before you. Entering my trial while carrying such a curse, was she trying to look down on me?"
With the end of the voice"s words, Jian Shen could finally see Meirong.
She was lying flat and looked unconscious but unhurt.
The location, however, was still the same with everything being pitch black around him making Jian Shen understand that this was how strong a complete Heavenly Creation truly was.
