Chapter 129 – Ghost Devil’s trial, can junior apprentice come?


“Ah, this…” Li Hengsheng was completely taken aback that Xue Qianbai had come for a drink of water. Although it made sense logically, something about it felt odd.

Nevertheless, Li Hengsheng quickly welcomed Xue Qianbai in with enthusiasm. Even Xu Kui hadn’t expected the deputy leader of Dao Mountain Ancient Land to visit them.

Upon hearing that Xue Qianbai had come for a drink, Xu Kui was initially stunned, then hurried to fetch water for him.

Xue Qianbai looked around the courtyard. In his sleeve was a bottle of sixth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill, but he was pondering how to give it away.

“The water is ready.” Xu Kui had brought the water by this time.

“Leader, here’s your water.” Li Hengsheng handed the water to Xue Qianbai. After receiving it, Xue Qianbai stared at the bowl of water, pondered for a moment, and then drained it in one gulp.

“Leader, do you want more?” Li Hengsheng asked, worried that Xue Qianbai hadn’t had enough.

“No need.” Xue Qianbai said indifferently, “I was extremely thirsty and just happened to pass by your house. You gave me a bowl of water, which saved me from a dire situation. Otherwise, I might have died of thirst here. It was really dangerous.” Li Hengsheng: “?” Die of thirst here?

What was the leader talking about?

“Today, you saved my life. You can be considered my lifesaver.” Xue Qianbai looked at Li Hengsheng and said seriously.

Li Hengsheng: “??” What do you mean by lifesaver? Was the leader being too hasty? Just as Li Hengsheng couldn’t understand the logic, Xue Qianbai took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table next to him.

“I don’t like owing others. Since you saved my life, I don’t have much to give you. Seeing that you’re about to break through to the Postnatal Realm, I’ll give you this sixth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill as a token of my gratitude for your bowl of water.” Li Hengsheng: “???” Even after Xue Qianbai had disappeared from sight, Li Hengsheng still couldn’t understand what had just happened.

He opened the pill bottle on the table. A purple pill rolled out from inside. The surging medicinal power was simply astonishing, and the fragrance was rich. It was indeed a Realm-Breaking Pill.

And it was indeed a sixth-grade pill, because there were pill patterns on it. But Li Hengsheng was still dumbfounded.

He even suspected that the mushrooms he had for breakfast were not cleaned properly and were poisonous. Otherwise, how could such an outrageous thing happen?

It wasn’t until he had confirmed several times that he was fine that Li Hengsheng realized that Xue Qianbai had indeed given him a Realm-Breaking Pill.

He had written to his father, expressing his distress over a fifth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill. He thought that if Li Changqing really had a problem, he might receive a fifth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill soon.

But according to his prediction, this pill must have been given to him by Xu Muhai. But now it was given to him by Xue Qianbai.

And it wasn’t a fifth-grade pill, but a sixth-grade one. Things seemed to have gone beyond Li Hengsheng’s expectations, which left him in a state of confusion.

Did this have anything to do with his father? If not, it was too much of a coincidence. But if it did, how could his father know Xue Qianbai?

This was the deputy leader of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, a powerful figure known as the Qianxue Sword Sovereign, a famous master in the entire Cangyuan Realm.

Li Hengsheng stared at the pill in his hand, fell into deep thought, and decided not to think about it for now. He would break through to the Postnatal Realm first!

After all, he had been waiting for this pill for a long time.

“Fourth Brother!” Just then, there was a knock at the door. The servant quickly opened the door, and Zhou Jun walked in from outside. As soon as he entered, he saw Li Hengsheng and said with a smile, “Fourth Brother, I have something important to tell you…” But before he could finish, Zhou Jun saw Li Hengsheng holding a pill in his hand and lost in thought.

“Fourth Brother, what are you holding?” Zhou Jun walked up and examined the pill in Li Hengsheng’s hand, then exclaimed, “My goodness, isn’t this a Realm-Breaking Pill? This quality… there are six pill patterns on it. Damn, a sixth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill!”

“Where did you get it?” Zhou Jun was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

“How should I explain this to you? I’m afraid you won’t believe me if I do.” Li Hengsheng wanted to explain, but he felt that the situation was too outrageous.

“As long as you don’t tell me that you somehow pooped it out when you went to the toilet, I’ll believe you.” Zhou Jun looked at Li Hengsheng with a puzzled expression.

“Get lost.” Li Hengsheng helplessly explained what had happened with Xue Qianbai. Zhou Jun listened in a daze.

“Do you understand?” Li Hengsheng looked at Zhou Jun seriously, but after asking, there was no response. Li Hengsheng thought Zhou Jun didn’t understand, so he said, “Shall I explain it to you again?”

“No need!” Zhou Jun said in a daze, “I roughly understand.”

“Do you believe it?” Li Hengsheng asked thoughtfully.

“You might as well tell me that you pooped it out.” Zhou Jun said seriously.

“But that’s the truth.” Li Hengsheng also felt that few people would believe it if he said it.

“Forget it, it’s not important.” Zhou Jun was carefree, “Anyway, the deputy leader definitely won’t harm you. Now that you have the pill, you can break through. Isn’t that good? Besides, the deputy leader is always mysterious. I don’t have much contact with him. Maybe he’s the kind of person who can do such things.”

“So, Third Brother, why did you come to see me?” Li Hengsheng remembered that Zhou Jun had said he had something important to tell him when he came in.

“Of course it’s good news.” Zhou Jun said with a smile, “Do you know, the Ghost Devil is about to open.”

“Ghost Devil?” Upon hearing this name, Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask, “What is the Ghost Devil?””Eh? You don’t even know this? Well, it’s normal for you not to know since you were in a place like the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters.” Zhou Jun explained to Li Hengsheng, “Actually, the Ghost Devil trial is a kind of test for our human race. It only opens once every ten years, and you just happened to catch up.”

“The Ghost Devil trial is initiated by Tianhai City. In our Cangyuan Realm, Dao Mountain Ancient Land belongs to the Eastern Desolate Land. At that time, various sects from the Western Desolate Land and Southern Wilderness will also participate, but generally speaking, we won’t encounter them. You can rest assured about this. Every time a disciple who performs well in the Ghost Devil trial will receive a reward from Tianhai City!”

“Even the chance to be personally rewarded by the Lord of Cangyuan Realm.” Zhou Jun said with a face full of envy.

“Why isn’t there a Northern Wilderness?” Li Hengsheng asked curiously.

“Are you stupid? The Northern Wilderness is the Cloud Wilderness, where the Ghost Clan lives.” Zhou Jun gave Li Hengsheng a disdainful look, “Last time, fifty disciples from our Dao Mountain Ancient Land went. This time, the number will be about the same. I’m sure I’ll have a chance to go this time.”

“What are the requirements to participate in this Ghost Devil trial?” Li Hengsheng was also a bit interested. It was really too difficult to make progress by just cultivating in the sect all the time.

“Those under twenty-five years old in the Postnatal Realm can participate.” Zhou Jun said, “Although you don’t meet the requirements yet, with this pill, you will soon be able to enter the Postnatal Realm. And I heard that the master had already signed you up.”

“When will it take place? Is our Dao Mountain Ancient Land the only participant from the Eastern Desolate Land?” Li Hengsheng’s eyes lit up.

“How could that be possible?” Zhou Jun waved his hand, “Almost all the forces in the Eastern Desolate Land will participate. Many people from other sects will also go. The time should be a month from now. This is also a good opportunity to prove oneself. After all, I’ve been waiting to participate in this Ghost Devil trial for a long time.”

“Once I get good results and receive a huge reward, I can directly step into the Prenatal Realm and become a true Prenatal.” Zhou Jun said, already starting to laugh foolishly, as if he had already seen himself stepping into the Prenatal Realm.

“There’s still a month left, and it will start in a month.”

“There’s still time.” Li Hengsheng looked at the Realm-Breaking Pill in his hand and said, “Then I’ll eat this Realm-Breaking Pill first.”

“Wait.” But Zhou Jun stopped Li Hengsheng and said, “If I remember correctly, you haven’t challenged the Beast Collection yet, have you? I think you should try challenging it when you’re in the Transcendence Realm, because the sect points you can get from challenging the Beast Collection in the Transcendence Realm are doubled.”

“Otherwise, once you step into the Postnatal Realm and challenge it again, the points you get will be too few, and the things you can exchange in the sect will be much less. Moreover, if your performance is good, the sect might even reward you.” Zhou Jun still remembered that last time when Li Hengsheng became the first in the Nine-Tier Battle Pavilion Mortal Realm, the sect rewarded him with a Golden Silkworm Armor.

Li Hengsheng also thought it made sense. He had always been challenging the Nine-Tier Battle Pavilion, enduring the torment of being killed by the scholar time and time again, but he had never tried the Beast Collection.

“Then I’ll go try it first, and then break through to the Postnatal Realm.” Li Hengsheng nodded and said.

“Good, then I’ll personally protect you. After you break through to the Postnatal Realm, we’ll go to the Ghost Devil trial together. At that time, the two of us brothers will fight together and let them know how powerful our Dao Mountain Ancient Land is!” Zhou Jun laughed heartily.

“Okay.” Li Hengsheng also got excited. That afternoon, Li Hengsheng came to Yingxin Lake.

A man and a spear, when Li Hengsheng came to Yingxin Lake, he attracted a lot of attention. The first in the Nine-Tier Battle Pavilion Mortal Realm.

The one who defeated the Iron-faced Man in nine breaths, such a disciple will have an extraordinary future! Li Hengsheng sat directly by Yingxin Lake, and this time he chose to challenge the Beast Collection.

Before coming, Li Hengsheng had also looked at the Beast List. Because the Beast List does not divide realms, everyone is on the same list, so the list is relatively long, taking the top five hundred results.

Li Hengsheng carefully looked at the challenge records of the Transcendence Realm disciples on the Beast List. The current first place in the Transcendence Realm is a disciple from the Law Enforcement Peak named Nan Haofei.

Although Nan Haofei is still in the ninth level of the Transcendence Realm, he is also a genius of Dao Mountain Ancient Land. Although he is not a direct disciple, he has entered the inner gate and is considered the most legendary person besides Li Hengsheng.

Nan Haofei, at the ninth level of the Transcendence Realm, had passed the eleventh island and killed fifty-three spirit beasts before dying in battle.

Such a record can be said to be very impressive. Li Hengsheng also wanted to try and see where his limit was.

A breath passed, and Li Hengsheng opened his eyes. It was that familiar feeling. Li Hengsheng found himself on an island.

The surrounding sea was surging, and the island was very large, stretching as far as the eye could see. The island was lush with many trees, and Li Hengsheng took a few steps forward.

Just then, subtle killing intents came from all directions, and Li Hengsheng suddenly saw a pair of blood-red eyes appearing among the rushing trees!

Li Hengsheng stopped in his tracks, gripping the Chasing Immortal Spear tightly in his hand. The next moment, roars came from the forest, followed by a dense pack of gray-furred wolves emerging from the trees.

The roars became clearer and turned into neat wolf howls. The number of wolves increased, their blood-red eyes seeming to be stained with blood.

Li Hengsheng’s eyes flashed with determination. Although these gray wolves were imposing, they were just ordinary beasts and didn’t put much pressure on Li Hengsheng.

“Roar!” Several bloodthirsty gray wolves charged directly at Li Hengsheng. Li Hengsheng took a deep breath, and the Chasing Immortal Spear instantly shot out, blooming several spear flowers, and those gray wolves were directly killed on the spot by Li Hengsheng.Their fur was dyed red with fresh blood, pierced through by the spear of Li Hengsheng. His actions seemed to have enraged the pack of wolves, causing them to collectively charge at him, causing the ground of the island to tremble chaotically.

However, no matter how numerous they were, Li Hengsheng was still at ease. With one man and one spear, his power was boundless. Relying solely on his physical strength, he slaughtered the wolf pack one by one.

It was incredibly easy. Li Hengsheng directly cleared the first island. With the clearance of the first island, the bodies of the wolf pack on the island surprisingly disappeared. Li Hengsheng was still there, but other creatures had appeared on the island.

“Come on!” Li Hengsheng was full of spirit. He hadn’t had enough of killing just yet. Seeing the giant tiger rushing out of the jungle, Li Hengsheng slaughtered once again.

The Chasing Immortal Spear was reaping lives one after another, making Li Hengsheng seem like a god of death. The third island. The fourth island.

…It wasn’t until he had killed his way through the seventh island that Li Hengsheng felt a bit interested. Because after the fifth island, what appeared were real Spirit Beasts. They were numerous, and not only their physical bodies, but their consciousness was also far beyond that of ordinary beasts.

Li Hengsheng was momentarily stunned and was hit twice, but his physical body was strong and he was not injured.

With the Nine True Spear Technique displayed, Li Hengsheng’s move of Star Rain directly pierced through several Spirit Beasts. The last Spirit Beast died in front of Li Hengsheng.

The Spirit Beasts on the island disappeared again, and at this time, Li Hengsheng was fully refreshed by the Heart Lake.

He was ready to welcome the arrival of the eighth island.
