Chapter 509 “Their Mutual Understanding (1)”

The members of the Xuan Kingdom’s team were all enraged by the treatment, It’s bad enough we lost a member, now they want to directly remove us from the roster? Aren’t they too overbearing!

“If you don’t follow the rules then I won’t let a single one of you off then.”

Before that Elder Wang’s grunting sound could even come to a finish, a heavy mass of air equivalent to a hurricane had swept over from below the cliffs.

Anyone could tell things are not looking right. Unfortunately for this team from the Xuan Kingdom, it was already too late when they tried to control the alchemic beast to flee.

Tearing apart the paper contraption, leaving nothing but scraps in its wake, the hurricane then swept across the unlucky individuals like fluttering leaves and blowing them off into the jagged cliffs where only death awaits them.

In an instant, silence grips the remaining participants like a collective agreement. They all saw the outcome of what comes to those who defied the strange senior that never once cast a glance their way. It’s not pretty, to go like that, so far away from home and without a corpse for their families to retrieve.

For a time none dared to offer to go next.

“Everyone, I’ve said it very clearly earlier already. Each team must send a representative to take part in the lot. These jade carvings are no ordinary objects, they each carry differing levels of spirit force in them. As you all saw the outcome. If you pick one that’s beyond your own reach then only death awaits. For the one to three numbered jades, they are infused with enough power that only alchemists of the nine cauldron or higher could hope to contain them, meaning a senior alchemist like the lord of the Dan Palace Chen Hong Ru. Likewise, the corresponding four to six numbered jade requires only a user with the spirit force equivalent to a seven to eight cauldron alchemist. As for the rest of the numbers, I will leave it to your own imaginations. Regardless of what your choice is, I advise the representative of each team to choose according to their own ability. After all, the opportunity to gain rewards isn’t just once.” The Sacred Maiden’s explanation definitely helped to ease the tense mood in the atmosphere.

In other words, so long as the team manages to make it to the end of their route then its possible to gain access to the other channels as well. They’ve already witnessed the consequences of messing with one of the first three jades, they aren’t going to follow in that footstep again.

Like everyone else, Ling Yue also showed a frown on that face. She hasn’t even made it into the Star Cave yet and a heavy dilemma was already presented before her.

Nowadays her current control over the spirit force lies in the seven cauldron level. Let’s say she does increase it to another rank by tapping into her spirit smoke for support, that’s only enough to barely break into the eight cauldron level. That limits her choice to the middle range of four to six on the jade tablets.

Under normal circumstances this wouldn’t be an issue at all so long as she’s able to get in, but she has a mission here today. Chen Hong Ru mentioned the solution to the black fog lies in the Spatial Piercing Bow hidden within this cave, there’s no way such a profound artifact would be in those lower tiered routes. That meant her objective lies in scoring one of the top six jades to have a chance.
