Inside the talisman protected area, Nightin was currently standing face to face against the first elder.
Nightin was holding his sword unsheathed in hand and was prepared to make a move if needed, the first elder on the contrary stood there without putting up his guard, as though as if he had absolute confidence that Nightin wouldn"t hurt him.
The only sound which could be heard was their soft yet steady breathing, it was the first elder who took the initiative to break the balance. "I"m sure that you"re curious as to what I"m about to propose."
Nightin could sense that the first elder didn"t hold any hostility towards him and thus, sheathed his sword but still kept it to his side. "Senior, I"ll admit that I"m curious about what you"re going to say next, but I hope that you"ll cut straight to the chase."
The first elder wrinkled his eyebrows and said "Are all youths so impatient like you these days. It doesn"t matter what you say next, it has been some time since I had a chat with someone."
Nightin knew what the first elder meant, but he held no means of rejected and could only agree by keeping silent.
The first elder smiled as he took out a book which looks ancient, the book had a thick cover and has a brand new appearance, yet it still possesses the historical feeling which the pa.s.sage of time couldn"t erase.
The first elder then said "Do you really think that my ident.i.ty is as simple as the first elder of the Psychic sect? Aren"t you curious as to why our sect could have survived through the Ancient era and the crisis which took the whole cultivation world in a storm?"
Nightin could sense that something was amiss, the first elder was going off topic and he definitely knows what he"s doing, but Nightin couldn"t understand his intentions at all. "Senior, I"m sure that you definitely wouldn"t let me in on your true ident.i.ty, but how did the Psychic sect survive this long without a strong background?"
The first elder threw the book over before closing his eyes to rest, he didn"t leave any instructions behind before starting to cultivate.
When he cultivates, he revealed his true appearance of a man probably in his early thirties, it was evident that he was hiding his age in front of the Psychic sect and his current ident.i.ty must have been spun up by the current sect master. Showing his looks without any disguise, it was clear that he didn"t mean Nightin any harm at least.
When he started to cultivate, a thick gust of smoke kicked off from the ground as spirit energy in the air started to gather into his body, his cultivation speed couldn"t be described at all, it was just way too fast beyond any imagination.
What took him a few breaths to absorb, would have taken even the average genius a few months, just what sort of terrifying talent does he possess?
Nightin took all this into him as he reminded him again and again, that man isn"t someone he can offend and considering that he meant no harm, he relaxed his mind and dived within the book.
It was a visual experience book which would allow him to see everything within the book unfold before his eyes from a third person perspective, if the book spirit exists and he gains its acknowledgement, he might be ent.i.tled the chance of a first person perspective.
What he"s seeing right now is totally different from what he was expecting, he was in the sky looking at a continent from above, just that one single continent itself was bigger the the upper realm he knew of right now.
Zooming in, he could see that even the small pets here had a weak cultivation base of Martial King easily, even the so called mortals of this world, were Martial Emperors with the mortal roots of that world.
The spirit essence there was so thick that if a comparison had to be made, the Ancient era of the upper realm was merely a drop of water, while the currently extremely thick spirit essence was the ocean.
Landing in the ground within a kingdom, he could see that he had landed on a platform and that there were probably a few thousand more who had descended at the same time as him.
The voice of the senior to him ringed within his mind. "The one year you spend here will only be a month in the outside world, we"ll meet again one day when you head towards one of the high grade realms..."
His voice drifted off in Nightin"s head as an announcement brought Nightin back into the real world.
"Cultivator of the unranked realm has arrived in the mysterious realm!"
"Cultivator of the unranked realm has arrived in the mysterious realm!"
"Cultivator of the unranked realm had arrived in the mysterious realm!"
The announcement went off three times and was heard by the whole continent, it had been ten years since the new challenger came and he was only from a unranked realm which was utter trash in their eyes.
Every challenger they received till now was either from the high realm or the ten overlord realms, it would be sullying and tarnis.h.i.+ng their renowned reputation for someone from anyone below the high realm to enter here.
It was a good piece of news and relief for everyone when they heard the next piece of news.
"The time duration would only be one hour in this world."
"The time duration has been changed due to a special request from Casper Luke, the new time duration would be one year!"
This sent a shock into everyone"s mind when they heard this, the number one genius who have stepped foot into their sacred land actually went to such lengths for a youth from a unranked realm?
No one however doubted him, they didn"t even have the authority to mention his name, the unprecedented talent who would definitely stand at the apex of the whole universe one day.
Everyone decided that it was time to look at this new youth who had arrived, if the genius within their heart chose him, it could only mean that he wasn"t ordinary and definitely have some secrets.
Back inside the tower, he was given instruction by a human voice to attack the tablet in front of him with all his might.
Nightin wanted to conceal his strength, but he knew that he couldn"t do so anymore, Casper had went through great lengths and means to get him here though his motive was unclear, he couldn"t let him down now.
Circulating all the spirit energy within his body, he took out his Phoenix sword who was igniting in new light, it could sense its master seriousness and was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with its brightest scorching flame.
The Phoenix sword had undergo a great change as it carried the slight sense of wind attribute, a thin curved carve green in colour formed itself on the sword which made it clear, a dual element sword.
The spirit energy was fully rampaging at this point, all three of his divine swords was flying around him kicking out a thick gust of wind, his Gale blades forced itself to its fastest velocity as he dashed forward with all his might.
"Mystical tier! Wrath of the Cyclone!"
Swoosh
Whoosh
Clang
Rumble
Boom
A huge explosion took place which was blocked off by a energy barrier, on the tablet wrote one line.
[COMPLETION STAGE MARTIAL EMPEROR]
Thud
Nightin collapsed on the ground right at the exact moment his spirit energy got totally depleted. Most cultivators would already collapse if their spirit energy reaches five percent, anything below that would be kept by their body as reserves.
With what Nightin did just now, the mysterious trail would definitely cure him and that was what he"s betting on, he was playing the game with his life as the booster.
Soon, a holy light appeared from above and was starting to recover his body functions and supply him with spirit energy, in just a few breaths, he felt completely refreshed as he stood up and headed towards the next door.
[Control room]
A professor was currently laid back on his armrest chair, his messy white hair and long beard made him looked a total mess, he was researching on the formation of various life forms until the new challenge result shocked him.
"Full attack power and character traits of new challenger have been gathered, would you like to see the stats?" The human voice of a robot sounded out as text flooded the screen.
"Yes!"
Current cultivation of human cultivator from the unranked realm is the Martial Lord early stage, max attack power is at the Martial Emperor completion stage.
Traits: He would do anything just to Squeeze out every bit of strength he has for his loved ones or people he has made a promise to, a loyal chap which would resort to any methods to achieve his goals.
"My dear system, would he resort to those types of methods which defies the logic of being human, such as excessive killing or slaughtering of the ma.s.ses? Or things such as tricking others and using poison?"
"Insufficient data has been gathered currently, please wait until more data has been gathered from the coming second trail.
Ta Ta
Creak
In view to Nightin right now was a magic circle for one person, he walked into it and started to cultivate without any hesitation. It was clear that they were giving him a reward to get stronger before his second challenge arrives.
Spirit energy was continuously sucked in by his spiritual core automatically, with him focusing his attention doing so, the process would be around twenty percent faster.
Whirr
Whirr
In just around half an hour, his cultivation made a breakthrough to the Martial Lord middle stage.
Boom
By the time the full two hours were up, his cultivation was already one step into the Martial Lord late stage, he just needed to strengthen his foundation before making another breakthrough.
He could fill his whole body br.i.m.m.i.n.g with life when the new spirit energy replaced the old ones in his body, even if he absorbs lower quality spirit energy from now on, they would be converted into the pure one he has now with sufficient amount. Slower cultivation speed for more strength, it was a double edged sword.
Standing up and clenching his fists, he took out his sword and started to dance around with it, drawing out the majestic Phoenix in the air with his scorching flames before he made his way towards the next challenge.
Ahead of him floated nine light orbs, each of them had a corresponding tier. The first one in front of him was the weakest while that particular one at the back, it gave him a feeling of dominance.
Walking into the field area of the first light orb, a strong pressure crushed down on him which made his knees bend, if he didn"t hold on fast enough, his body would already have collapsed on the ground with a thud.
Yet, this was only the easiest part and he was already going to face failure?
