Chapter 709

The person who had come was the vice sect master . Following his arrival, the somewhat noisy plaza immediately became silent .

The vice sect master’s gaze roved around everyone . “It’s time . The Xuantian Dao Sect’s martial trial will soon begin .

“But before that, let me warn you all . This trial is a huge opportunity for all of you . Cherish it properly!”

Long Chen’s heart shook . Shui Wuhen had also emphasized that this was an opportunity, the greatest benefit the Xuantian Dao Sect bestowed on its disciples . But she hadn’t directly said what it was .

The vice sect master slowly formed a hand seal, and s.p.a.ce began to tremble intensely . Long Chen saw the hundreds of huge stone pillars around the plaza light up with runes . The scene around him instantly changed .

“This… this is a formation?!” Long Chen was shocked . The entire plaza had actually been an enormous transportation formation .

The sky became dusky, and the blazing sun had completely disappeared . They appeared on the edge of a huge basin .

This basin had a diameter of tens of thousands of miles . The land was a s.h.i.+ny rock that looked as if it had been meticulously polished . It actually looked like a huge wok . What was this for? Were they supposed to cook some kind of giant stir-fry here?

“This is the first part of the trial, the Xuantian Sea!” announced the vice sect master from midair .

“Sea?” The disciples were all flabbergasted . Where was the sea?

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, heaven and earth began to tremble . Everyone hastily looked toward the basin, only to see a huge whirlpool appear . A terrifying pressure caused their hearts to tremble .

The whirlpool grew larger and larger . Endless astral winds crazily billowed out like ocean waves . Even from the edge, they felt like it was hard to breathe . They involuntarily retreated a few steps .

“This wind…” Long Chen’s heart shook .

“Now you understand why this is called the Xuantian Sea . The Xuantian Dao Sect’s trial isn’t taking place just here . The Eastern Wasteland, Western Desert, Southern Sea, and Northern Source’s branch sects are all undergoing the trial at the same time .

“The time between martial gatherings differs each time . It is decided by the head sect in the Central Plains . Sometimes it will only happen once every ten years, sometimes it will happen once every fifty years . The fact that you coincided with it this time is your luck .

“This trial is only open to Xiantian disciples . As for what the benefits are, according to the rules, you’ll have to experience and test it out for yourselves . This isn’t because we don’t want to tell you, but because this trial is too miraculous . Each person will obtain different things, and for us to try to guide you based on other people’s standards would only harm you .

“So in this trial, you’ll have to grope around yourselves . As for what benefits you can obtain, it’ll be up to your luck . ”

The whirlpool at the basin grew larger as the vice sect master spoke . The wind was like a tide . It truly appeared like a vast sea .

“Long Chen, this tide contains endless wind energy . It’s a priceless treasure to me . ” Tang Wan-er pulled on Long Chen’s hand excitedly .

“This tide contains the will of the Sword Dao . I can sense a majestic sword intent within it that is of great a.s.sistance to me!” said Yue Zifeng .

The others were also extremely excited . They could all sense things for themselves . But Long Chen was startled . Why couldn’t he sense anything?

After another hour, everyone saw that the tide had become extremely clear . Furthermore, it was now split into different colors . The outer region was white, and then it was blue, red, and then the very core was violet .

Gradually, the wind transformed into sea waves . However, this sea wasn’t made of water, but wind . Everyone finally understood how the glossy ground had come about .

“Alright, the Xuantian Sea has formed . You can choose for yourselves what region of the sea you want to stay in,” announced the vice sect master .

Following his words, several people immediately went in to take a path . But they had only just entered when they were blown back by the wild winds . Those who were stronger merely vomited a mouthful of blood, while those that were weaker directly fainted .

“With their intelligence, it really is amazing they’re still alive,” sighed Long Chen . Long Chen really wondered how these people had managed to reach this level of cultivation .

One of those people had actually put on a das.h.i.+ng posture of diving into water, as if these waves were ordinary waves . As a result, just by trying to enter the edge of the whirlpool, he almost directly blew apart . People sympathized, but they were also speechless .

As for the vice sect master and the other experts, they simply watched without the slightest emotion . Most likely, they had held this trial so many times that they had long since grown indifferent to this situation .

Following a few dozen unlucky fellows who paid a miserable price, the others became smarter and entered the waves carefully .

As soon as they entered, quite a few people’s expressions changed . These waves contained a powerful pressure that was exerting a constant force on their bodies, making it feel like the waves were trying to tear them apart .

Just carefully entering little by little took everything they had . They couldn’t help feeling admiration for those ‘brave warriors’ who had tested it just now for them .

The people who managed to enter all had expressions of delight . It was obvious they had to be obtaining great benefits right now .
