CHAPTER 1942: CHAPTER 1945: JOINING THE XUANWU DIVINE HALL?

The Xuanwu Divine Hall is already so powerful; how terrifying must the Thick Soil Sect behind it be?

Ling Xiao dared not think further. He had thought himself already very strong, but now it seemed that, in the entire Mysterious World, he was still just an insignificant ant.

But he would not be discouraged. Even being an ant that could stir the Mysterious World into chaos would be worthwhile.

The stronger the enemies, the more fulfilling it would be to defeat them!

"Where exactly are we going?"

Tianai Ba Tu seemed a little impatient and asked.

"Naturally, to the place we should go. If you find it troublesome, you can simply withdraw."

Lin Yuan turned back to glance at Tianai Ba Tu and said, "I’ve seen too many self-conceited geniuses. Your generation is the luckiest, but also the most ignorant.

In the Xuanwu Divine Hall, your talents are really nothing, so in my presence, it’s best not to speak unless I allow you."

"I don’t know who’s the ignorant one. If this weren’t the Magic Cube Temple, those words of yours could have gotten you killed ten times over already."

Phoenix Feiye smiled faintly.

"Exactly!"

Tianai Ba Tu agreed.

"Well said, this guy’s mouth is really vile."

Young Master Sky Wolf sneered coldly.

This time, it seemed all ten people stood on the same front; this Lin Yuan dared to call them ignorant and arrogant.

Had these words come from Morgan Lawless Heaven, it would be understandable, but Lin Yuan, what right does he have?

These ten people were among the top talents on the White Tiger Continent, and had advanced through arduous battles to the final round.

"Are you trying to rebel?"

Lin Yuan’s expression turned unsightly, but he dared not make a move. Though his strength wasn’t inferior, he could clearly see that Phoenix Feiye, Tianai Ba Tu, and Lei Lie’s strength was no weaker than his.

If it came to a fight, he would undoubtedly suffer losses.

"Not daring to rebel, but weren’t you just the last to be selected into the Xuanwu Divine Hall, and your qualifications aren’t impressive here either, are they?"

Ling Xiao smiled slightly.

"That qualification is still above average!"

Lin Yuan responded.

"Heh, above average qualification for someone like you. Looks like the higher qualifications in the Xuanwu Divine Hall aren’t much either.

In ten years, you’ve only cultivated from the first level to the eighteenth level of the Yin-Yang Realm, even with such good conditions, don’t you feel ashamed?"

Ling Xiao chuckled, "Since you’re the guide, just be obedient and guide us. You can’t insult just anyone."

Although several among the ten had disagreements with Ling Xiao, this time they all agreed with him, nodding one after another.

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant things; once you enter the Magic Cube Trial, you’ll know what cruelty is."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, ultimately not daring to attack these people.

After all, he was intimidated.

But he took special note of Ling Xiao.

Regardless of Phoenix Feiye or Tianai Ba Tu, he was not sure he could defeat them, but this Ling Xiao was only at the fifteenth level of the Yin-Yang Realm, what right did he have to speak to him like this?

Once this guy is alone, he must teach him a good lesson on how to behave.

Thinking of this, he seemed to feel much better.

The group continued their journey, and soon, they saw the main hall of the Magic Cube Temple.

Above the grand hall, there was a multicolored throne, upon which sat a child.

A child who appeared no more than seven or eight years old, holding a Rubik’s Cube in his hands and playing with it.

The Rubik’s Cube was a toy imported from the Divine Machine Continent, very suitable for enhancing children’s intelligence, so many smart kids liked to play with it.

But seeing the one sitting on the throne also playing with this thing gave everyone a very discordant feeling.

"Is that the son of your Honorable?"

Joshua Long asked with a smile.

"Mind your manners, that is our Magic Cube Honorable. Why aren’t you paying respects to the Honorable?"

Lin Yuan said as he was the first to kneel, but the ten who came along didn’t kneel at all.

They were all exceedingly proud geniuses; who would kneel to a child?

"Honorable, these ten are really quite disrespectful, should we discipline them a bit first?"

Lin Yuan asked.

"No need, geniuses always have some arrogance; as long as they can pass the Magic Cube Trial, they can become full disciples of the Xuanwu Divine Hall. However, before entering, I must trouble you to sign here."

The Magic Cube Honorable casually tossed out a manual, on which was written a sentence—

"I voluntarily join the Xuanwu Divine Hall and accept all the rules of the Divine Hall."

It was followed by places to sign and seal.

"What does this mean? Must we join the Xuanwu Divine Hall to take the Magic Cube Trial?"

Ling Xiao frowned and asked.

"No, no, no, surely you wouldn’t refuse. The Xuanwu Divine Hall is the strongest force on the White Tiger Continent; joining us, you won’t lose out, are you unwilling?"

The Magic Cube Honorable asked Ling Xiao with a smile.

However, this smile made people feel very uncomfortable, as if being stared at by a grinning wolf.

Seeing that everyone was hesitant.

The Magic Cube Honorable remained unperturbed, merely saying, "Alright then, let me show you around the Magic Cube Temple, so you’ll know I’m not harming you."

Without standing up, he hovered in the air cross-legged, still toying with the Rubik’s Cube in his hand.

This Magic Cube Honorable took the ten to tour the temple’s dining hall, accommodations, cultivation places, and so on.

Then they returned to the main hall.

The eyes of the ten were filled with awe.

"What they eat are the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures we dream of, things hard to obtain on the White Tiger Continent!"

"The places they live use special array formations to aid in cultivation, and the cultivation speed is several times that outside."

"And the places they cultivate have so many high-level sparring partners and excellent instructors."

"All these years, we’ve truly been living in vain. If we had those, we’d likely have a chance to break through to the Reincarnation Realm."

It was the heartfelt wish of every martial artist.

In the Xuanwu Divine Hall, all genius martial artists needn’t undergo slaughter or take risks to receive guidance from expert instructors, nor participate in advanced sparring to hone their skills.

Moreover, they could obtain powerful Martial Arts Secret Books.

Combined with daily consumption of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and exceptional cultivation facilities.

In fact, they hardly needed to strive; simply practicing on schedule every day, while eating, drinking, and playing would make them stronger than most hard-training martial artists outside.

This is the disparity of birth.

Others naturally have a higher starting point than martial artists outside.

Now, this place offered them an opportunity, an opportunity to join and enjoy equal treatment.

What choice would they make?

As long as they weren’t insane, they ought to make a wise choice.

Overturning humble beginnings are rare; most commoners cannot surpass these well-resourced martial artists throughout their lives.

So once there is an opportunity to turn one’s fortunes, it would be unwise to let it go.
