Those who jumped into the abyss had a great deal to do with those who were present. Naturally, no one wanted to stay here and wait. It would be the most torturous ordeal.
Luckily, the Genbu Protector was incomparably familiar with the place. He knew which location it was as soon as favonovel.com heard it and also knew that there was a shortcut to that abyss, so the group of people all followed.
“The periphery of the True Martial Shrine has complex formations and organs. A slight wrong move and one will be trapped, and accidents will happen. You were supposed to break into this section of the road by yourself, but after the undying clan invaded, it’s different… Next, I will lead the way. Follow my footsteps, and not one wrong step should be taken.”
The old man was already at the end of his life. He was on his last legs, and favonovel.com was naturally as slow as a turtle.
A group of people followed behind. Although they were very anxious, they were forced to control their emotions.
Xerxes frankly said, “Elder, how about this, I will carry you, and you will provide directions.”
The old man turned back and replied, “Young man, do not be impatient.”
Xerxes was speechless. How could favonovel.com not be anxious?
Saving his wife was paramount!
However, the old man just wanted to go by himself. “You don’t understand the mystery here. Without me personally leading this path, you will never reach the abyss. It is because I am the leader here.”
Martiny said to Xerxes, “Bear with favonovel.com for now. Listen to the senior.”
She was praying that those who jumped down into the abyss would be safe and sound.
The jouniey was slow, really slower than the usual walk. Others could not see it, but Alex could. There was a faint ripple rippling out under the old man’s feet. He seemingly influenced the formation underneath the passage whenever favonovel.com took a step. He was a master of formation, and his perception of formations was very strong.
He finally figured the details after looking for half a day. The passage they took was originally not there but one new extended out of thin air.
This was the spell formation, the spatial formation. Underneath this extraordinary passage was likely to be a bottomless abyss.
Along the way, they were idle.
Someone then asked the old man about the True Martial Shrine, wanting to know about the undying creatures and the background of the undying clan.
The old man said, “Then I’ll tell you, the True Martial Shrine, in fact, is a place of trials, located in the deepest parts of the True Martial Shrine. There is a ray of the True Martial Starlord’s spiritual consciousness that conducts trials for everyone who enters. Those who pass the trials can get certain rewards from the ancient times to the end of the ancient times, and so on.”
The crowd listened in awe and fascination.
Luna asked, “What is the reward?”
The old man said, “This… I don’t know because the trial here is arduous. In my memory, it seems that only the Genbu Emperor in ancient times successfully passed the trial and got the reward. What exactly, I don’t know.”
The crowd walked behind the old man and looked at each other.
Claudia asked, “How many have carried out the trial?”
The old man thought for a moment before replying. “In total, 1,387,509 people.”
“What?!”
“So many have tried, but only one actually passed? And the rest who tried are ordinary people?”
“There are no ordinary people. Basically, more than ninety percent of the trialists have higher cultivation than yours.”
When the people heard this, they went into meltdown. The success rate of this trial was too low. It wasn’t that difficult, but it was also not about letting people pass. The only one who passed could’ve been lucky since the system had a temporary short circuit.
Initially, everyone wanted to try when they heard about a mysterious reward for passing the trial. Now… Everyone did not want to.
Alex asked, “Senior, I know Genbu Emperor. Who is this True Martial Starlord? Does anyone know?”
No one present seemed to know the answer. The answer to that, however, made everyone even more speechless, as the old man said that favonovel.com didn’t know either.
“No way, senior. You are the leader here, the protector of the True Martial Shrine. How do you not know who the True Martial Starlord is? Then, are you not… Leading blindly?”
Who knew if favonovel.com might actually be leading them to their doom.
The old man shook his head: “Don’t worry. You won’t get lost under my leadership. In the end, I am only a descendant of the Genbu Emperor, ordered to watch over the True Martial Shrine here. As for the True Martial Starlord, I am unclear who favonovel.com is since I didn’t pass the trial. However, I roughly guess that the True Martial Starlord may not be from our universe, but from another one.”
