Chapter 172: Sect Tournament â Self Challenge
Volume 2.2 The Truth!!!
( must have gotten a heart attack in the previous chapter )
â Bai Lung! Come Help Mommy do the dishes!!! â
The familiar voice, the guide of his dead mom, in the mirror, he was a fresh youth at the age of 16, which meant the next year his mom gonna die, and the following year, he would also die in a car accident.
What is this? He asked himself unable to find the answer.
Was he seriously just dreaming? No! That makes nonsense.
He gently raised his hand and No! He couldnât use aura at all.
He couldnât fathom what was happening.
âUgh! Donât tell me this is some kind of illusion⦠â he thought to himself while he descended through the stairs to the first floor.
â Honey! â The gentle voice of his mother sounded but, he remained cold and unfazed knowing it was all just an illusion.
If he could have used his Qi, he would have long killed her and destroyed this world but sadly he couldnât.
Since he had no idea what kind of task this was, he just nodded his and began to do the dishes.
â Tsk! This young master is displeased to do the dishes, â he said in his mind.
â Oh! Isnât it quite surprising that you are doing the dishes without much resistance⦠Haha! I was just making some new food that I learned on Tube but I mistakenly brunt it, sorry, you have to clean it, â She said in a gentle tone.
However, Bai Lung paid no attention to her words, he was busy knowing what was the goal of this puzzle.
How does that thing create a vivid replica of his past life?
What was that orb? What does he need to do to get out?
ââ
Meanwhile,
â Huh? Isnât that temple of nine realm??? â
â Thatâs right⦠Holy cow, someone was actually able to enter inside, â
â T-This⦠That junior must be extraordinary, â
Many people were shocked to see someone taking the trail of nine realms.
In the grand luxurious room,
The emperor and the royal advisor were also looking at Bai Lung, who was currently taking the test of Nine realms.
â Master! It seems soothing great is happening! After thousands of years, someone else a taking the exam, â The royal advisor said worriedly.
â Hmm! â The emperor who was sitting in throne made form most experienced gems, just shook his head.
The Temple of Nine Realm is a unknown item which has remained a mystery, according to legends, even the Tree of Origin was said to have come from this artifact.
Surprisingly, this artifact is actually connected to nine realms and even the heavens are inferior to this artifact.
Is it true or false remained unclear?
However, based on the legends, the temple of nine realms takes nine different tests:
1st taskâ The flow of reality
2nd Taskâ The Wise Hermitn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
3rd Task â The Darknessâ¦
Only these three tasks are known while the the remaining six are unknown.
Millions of years ago, the great grandfather of current emperor was also chosen by the Temple of Nine realm, however, his great grandfather only managed to pass the first trial.
However, passing the first trail alone gave him lots of power and wisdom, which allowed him to make this happy Zuan empire.
This is also the reason, the emperor is scared of Bai Lung who is currently taking the Trailâ¦
Even though Bai Lungâs body is here, his consciousness is far away,
If Bai Lung manages to pass the first trial, he needs to be executed, otherwise, he poses a great threat to the Zuan Empire⦠Or perhaps, he poses a great threat to the Emperorâs bloodline.
â Hmm! Donât worry he may be chosen but he canât possibly pass the first trial, the trial of reality⦠According to my family records, your consciousness is sent to another realm.. â
â Another realm? What does Your Highness mean by this? â
â Sigh! Have you ever heard of re-living the moment? The treasure has the power to create a reality where you can re-live your life⦠The diary of my great grandfather states that the realm isnât an illusion or fake but the reality itself, â
â The reality itself, not an illusion, it does sound like a powerful phenomenon, â The royal advisorâs brows frowned slightly.
â Based on the records, You have to spend 100 days in that reality⦠The way to clear the first round is unknown, but, my grandfather managed to pass somehow due to luck, â The emperor said while he stared at Bai Lung with narrow eyes.
Thatâs right, even after his grandfather, 5 more people have been chosen by the Temple of Nine realm, but none of them managed to pass the first trail and were killed by the temple itself.
The royal advisorâs expression shifted, âYour Highness, if this Bai Lung truly enters another realm, then he may emerge with unprecedented power and knowledge. We cannot underestimate the potential threat he poses,â
The emperor nodded gravely, his gaze fixed on the image of Bai Lung within the temple unable to know what was going on with Bai Lungâs consciousness, âIndeed, if he were to return with such power, it could destabilize the balance of our empire. We must prepare for every eventuality, we need a few strong men to kill him, weak ones wonât work, â
The emperor was a cunning man who liked to read stories as such, he knew sending only one or few wouldnât be enough to kill someone chosen by the temple of the nine realms.
He canât underestimate Bai Lung.
â but what if he managed to climb more heights? â The advisor asked worrying about the worst.
â If he managed to climb the second floor, I have few daughters, among them one will be handed to him, â The emperor answered without much thought.
â The emperor is really wise and far-sighted, this old fool failed to see that ahead, â The advisor nodded his head.
Indeed! If can pass the second trial, there is simply no way to kill him, the advisors really like the Emperorâs thinking.
If you canât beat them join them!
Become a happy family!!!
