CHAPTER 1943: CHAPTER 1946: GATHERING AT THE TRIAL GROUNDS

There’s no denying that the Magic Cube Honorable is truly formidable.

With just a brief tour for everyone, all their perspectives quickly changed.

"Since the Xuanwu Divine Hall places importance on us, how could we not appreciate it?"

Phoenix Feiye was the first to step forward and wrote his name down.

"Good, staying clear of Phoenix Feiye, the top genius of Zhengyi Sect. Actually, the cultivation resources of Zhengyi Sect are no worse than our Xuanwu Divine Hall. Your choice truly surprises me."

The Magic Cube Honorable said with a smile.

"Am I not welcome?"

Phoenix Feiye asked with a smile.

"No, you’re very welcome. Anyone can join the Xuanwu Divine Hall."

The Magic Cube Honorable seemed unconcerned about the loyalty of those joining the Xuanwu Divine Hall.

This made Ling Xiao start to worry.

Generally, forces that exhibit such confidence usually have means to turn these people into their loyal followers.

"The Tianhai Empire, Tianhai Ba Tu is willing to join as well."

"The Crown Prince of the Tianhai Empire, an unparalleled genius, as famous as Phoenix Feiye. I am truly delighted you want to join our Xuanwu Divine Hall."

The Magic Cube Honorable said with a laugh.

"White Tiger Empire’s Lei Lie, joining!"

"Tianhai Empire’s Mu Wan Shuang, joining!"

"Zhengyi Sect’s Zui Ling Long, joining!"

"Tianhai Empire’s Little Dot, joining!"

"Yuelang Empire’s Young Master Sky Wolf, joining!"

One by one, the usually arrogant martial artists agreed to join the Xuanwu Divine Hall and wrote down their names in the booklet.

However, in the end, there were still three who remained unmoved.

These three were naturally Ling Xiao, Leng Mei, and Joshua Long.

With Ling Xiao not joining, the other two naturally wouldn’t either.

"You three are unwilling?"

The Magic Cube Honorable asked, looking at Ling Xiao, Leng Mei, and Joshua Long.

Leng Mei and Joshua Long said nothing, only looking at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Why bother asking the obvious, Honorable? I’ve already made enemies with the Xuan Ming Sect Leader and killed quite a few Divine Guards. Even if I wanted to join the Xuanwu Divine Hall, the Xuan Ming Sect Leader would certainly not agree, right?"

"Oh? So you are the martial artist who trespassed the Xuanfeng Divine Temple and abducted Young Master Xuanfeng?"

The Magic Cube Honorable looked at Ling Xiao in surprise.

Honestly, he was quite taken aback.

Ling Xiao’s cultivation level appeared to be at the early fifteenth layer of the Yin-Yang Realm. Such a cultivation level would be no match for Xuanfeng, let alone Xuan Ye.

How on earth did this kid manage to kidnap someone despite the Xuan Ming Sect Leader’s personal intervention?

He was very shocked and became deeply interested in Ling Xiao.

"Oh well, our Xuanwu Divine Hall doesn’t coerce anyone. If you don’t want to join, I won’t force you. It’s just a pity. With the cultivation level you three have reached at your age, joining the Xuanwu Divine Hall would guarantee even greater progress in the future."

The Magic Cube Honorable clearly knew what kind of person the Xuan Ming was. Ling Xiao had offended him; although he might still rely on his hostage to attend the White Tiger Summit, he wouldn’t escape death in the end.

A dead person, no matter how talented, is of no use, right?

"It seems Honorable, you have some misunderstanding. It’s not the three of us, just me. The other two are good kids with no grievances with the Xuan Ming Sect Leader. They should be able to sign."

Ling Xiao chuckled.

He had thought it through carefully; you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.

By making different choices with Leng Mei and Joshua Long, even if things went wrong, it wouldn’t affect them all simultaneously.

One side could always find a way to assist the other.

"Hehe, indeed. So are you two willing to sign?"

The Magic Cube Honorable looked at Joshua Long and Leng Mei inquiringly.

Joshua Long was about to refuse, but Leng Mei directly pressed his head down and said, "We are willing."

Joshua Long’s mind was not as sharp as Leng Mei’s.

Leng Mei instantly understood Ling Xiao’s intention, while Joshua Long remained clueless.

Being held down by Leng Mei, he kept his mouth shut and complied obediently.

"Leng Mei of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, joining!"

"Joshua Long of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, joining!"

The two signed their names in the booklet successively.

"Alright, now that the signing is completed, you will enter your respective Magic Cube Trial Grounds next. Use the Magic Cube Metal in your hands to obtain different encounters.

As for what this encounter will be, even I don’t know; it all depends on your own fate."

The Magic Cube Honorable smiled, ordered the booklet to be put away, and then stood up: "Let’s go. You will follow me to the Magic Cube Temple’s Trial Grounds."

Everyone’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

The Xuanwu Divine Hall had such excellent conditions for cultivation and abundant resources, so the Trial Grounds must also be a great place.

After passing through the Trial Grounds, their powers would surely see a significant boost.

Martial artists, especially genius martial artists, have a very strong pursuit for martial arts.

In the blink of an eye, people followed the Magic Cube Honorable as he flew into the sky.

Though they didn’t know what the Magic Cube Trial looked like exactly, they were sure that having fought fiercely to reach this point, these ten would finally get their deserved benefits.

Besides the Magic Cube Honorable, Lin Yuan was also beside them, ever ready to serve.

He looked at Ling Xiao with some pity and a dash of mockery.

This unsettled Ling Xiao, while also confirming some of his suspicions that not signing the booklet and having offended the Xuan Ming Sect Leader would bring trouble this time around.

As he pondered, they arrived at a place engulfed in clouds and mist, with lightning and thunder striking.

This place was bizarre; it seemed perpetually shrouded, unable to clearly see the surroundings, except for ten tightly shut large doors emitting a powerful and mysterious aura.

"Beyond these doors, who knows what awaits, but it feels like a separate space, much like the spatial rifts in the Ten Thousand Demons Tomb, only these have been reinforced and modified by the Xuanwu Divine Hall and won’t collapse on their own."

Ling Xiao would not forget the time he entered the spatial rifts within the Ten Thousand Demons Tomb and acquired a substantial amount of Reincarnation Seeds.

While these Reincarnation Seeds were not very useful to him now, they would be essential once he ascended to the Reincarnation Realm.

Otherwise, the loss during the Reincarnation Awakening would be too great.

"These ten doors lead to ten different independent spaces, constructed through extraordinary methods by our Xuanwu Divine Hall as trial grounds. The Magic Cube Metal is not only the key to open these doors,

but it is also the crucial element for initiating the trial grounds."

The Magic Cube Honorable’s words suddenly made everyone understand.

The final ten participants were meant to head toward the doors leading to the trial grounds.

And those in the losers’ bracket likely didn’t have such good fortune, heading to places inferior to these trial grounds.

This is the advantage.

"Alright, enough talk, based on the order of your Magic Cube Metals from back to front, enter the trial grounds one by one."

The Magic Cube Honorable said loudly.
