Chapter 85 - Going Up Archean Mountain (1/2)

Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

The snow had stopped by the next morning. Thick snow covered the ground.

After eating breakfast, the geniuses and their family members gathered in an open space outside a hall.

I’m finally at the final selection. It’s my last chance. A genius stood alone in the corner, his eyes filled with determination. I have to make a final gamble. I’m already twenty years old. I must get a spot this time.

Many geniuses fell silent. The pressure was immense.

Even the princess, Li Ying, and the others who barely made it to the top ten in the preliminaries were nervous. They were confident of getting a spot, but they were afraid! If Archean Mountain were to suddenly choose other seedlings, pushing them beyond the top 20, wouldn’t it be dumbfounding?

After the initial selection, the only ones who would definitely get a spot were probably Meng Chuan, Ji Yuantong, and Zong Sha.

“They’re coming.”

“King East River and the others are here.”

Everyone fell silent. Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan looked up. King East River, the sloppy man, and the cyan-clothed woman walked in from the entrance. The three of them stopped in front of the crowd.

King East River swept his gaze across everyone and said, “Today is Archean Mountain’s final selection. The final selection will be your last chance. As long as you show enough strength or have sufficient potential, our Archean Mountain will give you a spot. However, there are only twenty spots. Most of you are destined to be eliminated.”

Everyone listened calmly.

“Do a good job. Eighty-three of you are already twenty this year,” said the sloppy man as well. “If you miss this chance, you won’t have a second chance.”

“Let’s go.” After King East River spoke, the space around him distorted, enveloping everyone present. People could not look at King East River directly once again.

Meng Chuan felt an invisible force envelop him gently. There was something invisible beneath his feet, supporting him. Following that, he flew up.

The three Godfiends flew up with nearly two hundred people. They flew straight towards the massive Archean Mountain—which towered into the clouds.

How can they fly so fast with nearly two hundred people being carried by them? Meng Chuan was somewhat shocked as well. The geniuses saw themselves flying higher and higher, slowly exiting Archean City as they headed towards Archean Mountain.

He could clearly see Archean Mountain, but even at King East River’s terrifying speed, it still took ten minutes for them to arrive.

Meng Chuan and company were shocked when they faced Archean Mountain up close.

Towering, massive, vast…

It was so big that they appeared tiny in front of it.

Whoosh.

After flying through the mountain, they went past mountainsides, mountain peaks, and mountain valleys.

King East River led the geniuses to the entrance of a massive canyon. Many Godfiends had already gathered at the entrance. Aside from Marquis Southcloud, Marquis West Sea, and the other Godfiends—who had been watching yesterday—there were also unfamiliar Godfiends. They numbered about fifty.

“That’s Meng Chuan?”

“S-grade spiritual perception?”

Many of the Godfiends—who had just arrived—noticed Meng Chuan.

After King East River landed, he walked to a linen-clothed elder.

“Elder Yi,” said King East River with a smile. “Are you here to watch the final selection as well?”

“Mountain Lord personally instructed me to take a good look at this Meng Chuan,” said the elder. The two of them stood in front of the other Godfiends. The other Godfiends clearly respected the two since they were Regis Godfiends. There were very few Regis Godfiends, and they held extremely high statuses. Furthermore, most Regis Godfiends had to guard large-scale passes, preventing them from leaving. It was very rare for two Regis Godfiends to spectate the test.

“You can begin,” said the elder. “I’ll just watch from the sidelines.”

“Okay.” King East River took a few steps forward and looked at the geniuses. He said, “The final selection has two trials. The first trial is demon-slaying!”

Many geniuses’ eyes lit up immediately. Archean Mountain’s final assessment often changed, but demon-slaying was an immutable trial!

“Many of you believe that you couldn’t showcase your true strength at the preliminaries. Now your chance is here. Slaying demons is the best way to showcase your strength.” King East River pointed at the canyon in front of them. “Look, there are countless demons imprisoned in the canyon. In a while, you will be engaging them in battle. You can kill as many as you want. Killing ten demon lieutenant commanders is enough. Any more would be useless. As for demon commanders? The more you kill, the better.”

Only then did Meng Chuan and company take a closer look at the canyon.
