“Hmph! He entered that magical treasure again.” When Handsome saw Caspian disappearing in thin air, the little pig sniffed and snorted lightly. Caspian put Little Candy in and out of the Earring of Echo many times before, so Handsome already knew that Caspian had a magical storage treasure that could place living things. That kind of magic treasure was extremely rare. Although Handsome was a monster, the little pig did not necessarily know less than Caspian, a cultivator who started his cultivation journey mid-way. Hence, the little pig was secretly curious and wanted to look at the Earring of Echo just to see what it was. However, Caspian never promised Handsome, which made the little pig annoyed.
Handsome snorted a few times, watching the space before it. After that, Handsome got closer to Little Candy and found a comfortable position, falling back asleep.
At the same time, Caspian persisted in entering the Time Warp Zone. That time, Caspian truly felt his body was fragile after fighting against the Underworld’s Demon Flame. He felt that his blood and Qi were almost hollowed out. Even if his physique were amazing, it would take some time to recuperate. As Caspian was worried that it would take favonovel.com too long, favonovel.com chose to enter the Time Warp Zone. As soon as favonovel.com got there, Caspian did not move another step. Instead, favonovel.com leaned against the door and slumped to the ground, immediately falling asleep.
In truth, Caspian’s estimation was correct as favonovel.com fell asleep for two days. When favonovel.com woke up, Caspian felt like his body was finally rejuvenated. Hence, favonovel.com quickly returned to the mansion in real life.
Two days in the Time Warp Zone was only more than half a day in the real world. As Caspian came back last evening, the two days favonovel.com was asleep were only the entire night last night and that morning. It was only slightly after noon, and when Handsome saw Caspian coming back with his usual complexion, the little pig was relieved. Little Candy also leaned close to Caspian and started to lick his hand nonstop, showing its concern.
“Did you know you looked like you were going to die last night?” Handsome laid on the ground lazily, looking at Caspian, “What were you doing? You seemed like you were sucked dry.”
“I went to try out the Underworld’s Demon Flame,” Caspian answered lightly.
“The Underworld’s Demon Flame… The Underworld’s Demon Flame… Why does it sound familiar?” Handsome rolled its eyes, thinking. Suddenly, the little pig jumped up high and stared at Caspian, exclaiming, “You’re getting ready to go to the Myriad Demons Burial Ground? Do you know where Myriad Demons Burial Ground is?”
“Not yet, but I’ll have the opportunity to see it in the future.” As the matter was not completely settled, Caspian was unwilling to explain too much. Then, favonovel.com looked at Handsome and asked. “Did anyone come to find me when I’m not here?”
“Yes, yes! A few of them!” Handsome hurriedly nodded.
“A few?” Caspian was shocked, “Who?”
“They were all the ones who drank with you that day, and I remember their names.” Handsome blinked and recalled, “The one named Heidi was the first to come to you, then Omar, Maya, and Xander. The most recent one was that tall, thin guy named Sebastian, and favonovel.com just left.”
After saying that, Handsome blinked. “They appeared quite anxious. Did anything happen?”
Caspian gave it a thought and replied, “I think I know what it’s about. You two should stay home first. I’ll go and meet them first, and I’ll be back at night.”
“Bring something to eat when you come back at night!” Handsome said immediately. When the little pig noticed Caspian’s glare, it swiftly added, “I’m just speaking for Candy! I swear!”
“Okay,” Caspian answered and left. Caspian already had a rough idea of why Omar and the others looked for him. Since Omar’s Sword Pavilion was on the way to the Star-Refiner Valley, Caspian went straight to Omar.
Sure enough, just as Caspian expected. Omar went to find Caspian as the competition rules in Elenion, the City of Ruins, were out.
“Casper, you’re calm. The news is spreading like wildfire among the outer disciples,” Omar said, “More than 4,000 people are fighting over nine spots, and the chance is almost 1 in 500. Don’t you feel nervous?”
“No!” Caspian shook his head with a smile, “Omar, did you forget? You said before that the nine places are not only for the strong, but they are second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivators of which three have the strength of entry-level, three with mid-level, and another three with peak strength.”
“But we still need to fight for it. Compared to apprentices, the outer disciples have more hidden talents.” Omar sighed. Nonetheless, even though favonovel.com said that Omar did not appear dejected. It was apparent that Omar was confident with his potential.
Caspian was deep in thoughts. After hearing Omar’s description, favonovel.com already knew the specific rules of the selection. Six days later, the participating disciples would each bring along a piece of jade tokens. However, only nine of the jade plates were truly effective. Once all the disciples enter Elenion, the City of Ruins, the valid nine jade plates would emit a beam of light every half an hour. At that time, all the outer sect disciples would look for the disciples who had these jade tokens according to these beams of light and snatch them away.
The competition would last for a day and a night. At the end of the game, the disciple with the jade token would represent the Heavenly Stars Sect in the nation’s official religion election. These rules were not surprising as the Heavenly Stars Sect wanted to choose the best among the outer disciples. However, one rule stood out, High-level disciples were not allowed to snatch the jade token in the hands of low-level disciples.
In other words, the peak second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciples could not snatch from the mid-level and entry-level disciples, the mid-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciples could not snatch from the entry-level disciples.
After listening to that rule, most people would not think there was any problem as the Heavenly Stars Sect had to choose three disciples from entry-level, mid-level, and peak realm. Hence, that was naturally needed. Otherwise, the disciples of the second stage would have the advantage and easily snatching the jade tokens in the hands of the other two realm disciples. Then, there would be nothing for the other disciples in the lower realms. However, Caspian seemed to have discovered a hidden message in the rule.
“High-level disciples can’t snatch from low-level disciples, but it doesn’t say that low-level disciples can’t snatch from high-level disciples…” Caspian pondered in his heart and looked up at Omar.
Omar just happened to be looking at Caspian at the moment. Then, they suddenly showed a tacit smile.
Omar laughed. “Casper, it seems that we both have the same thought, and I bet that Xander thinks the same too. Even I suspect that Elder Leonard ordered favonovel.com to defeat the mid-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple and grab a jade token. Otherwise, his achievements will not be recognized.”
Omar gloated and laughed when favonovel.com suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed as favonovel.com said, “Sh*t. I forgot to tell you something, I’m too absorbed in the joy.”
