50 Awakening (2/2)

Some of the Rookies even thanked him for killing the Demon Sect leaders that stopped a continent-wide war. Zuhn nodded at all of the compliments and got the magic circle ready to accept all of the new Rookies into the sect.

One by one a Rookie came forwards and dropped a little bit on their blood into the magic circle. Once everyone's blood was on the magic circle, Zuhn started to spell.

All of the blood was sucked into the magic circle, and officially all of the Rookies became members of White Roses. Liu sent them all out of the room while she stayed back with Zuhn.

Zuhn did a couple other tasks, including meeting with all of the disciples to tell them what he was going to do. Zuhn handed over the White Roses to the five disciples to manage while he cultivated in seclusion.

All of the disciples agreed and talked to Zuhn about a couple of issues going on in the sect. All of the departments were good, besides the treasury. The Treasury still had a lot of money, but they needed a source of income.

Zuhn decided to have the treasury make a Resources department that was under the control of the treasury department. The Resources department was going to be used to find resources and sources of income for the sect.

Once all of the tasks and issues of the sect were cleared. Zuhn used a magical barrier from the Ancient Magic Book. The magical barrier was different from the other ones that Zuhn used before.

This magical barrier was small on the outside but huge on the inside. It was enough space for Zuhn to train, he also had enough resources to cultivation for multiple years if he wanted too.

Zuhn wanted to get back to Martial Sky ranked as fast as possible. Zuhn said his goodbyes to everyone, before putting up the barrier and entering seclusion.

When Zuhn put up the barrier on the inside Zuhn entered a huge landmass. When Liu looked at the spot where Zuhn disappeared there was nothing. When she came close to the barrier, she was pushed back from the magic.

Inside of the barrier was a vast space of land. Zuhn landed on top of a mountain looking out in the world that he landed in. Zuhn first talked to Maximus to ask what happened.

'Maximus can you make sense of this?'

'Well, I have some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?'

'The good news?'

'Well, you used a special spell that transports you to a world of sorts which is owned by a Martial Sky Emperor. So, the bad news is that you can't leave until you either beat the trial or get killed.'

'Huh.'

Zuhn was on top of a mountain looking out to the endless land below him. Maximus was trying to get a hold of what was going on. Even though he knew that it was a trial. He didn't know the way to beat the trial.

There were several different types of trials that took place. There was five in total, Normal, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Ancient. The normal trials were quite easy, and people beat them easily. Normal Rare and Epic are quite rare.

Legendary ranked trials were stupid rare, they came around once in about a thousand years. They only opened for one person or a small group of people.

Finally, the Ancient Trials. The Ancient Trials have never been seen. People know they exist, but any person that was in an Ancient Trial either died or came back and died from the powers they made.

'Zuhn, I can say for sure that we have entered an Ancient Trial.'

'Lovely'

Zuhn looked out into the valley below him and spotted several monsters and animals roaming the forests. Zuhn used his eyesight to see what the animals looked like. Each of the animals was different than the others from the outside world.

A lot of monsters that were outside the barrier were very small and non-threatening. Though, from what Zuhn could see. These monsters were quite different.

Each of them had strong auras that gave off lots of pressure. Maximus told Zuhn that there were several fruits and plants that could increase his cultivation ten folds.

Maximus guided Zuhn to find some of the plants. When they got to the first plant, it was on a small tree with yellow flowers on the tip of leaves. Maximus said that the tips of the flowers if someone ate them would increase their foundation.

At the moment, Zuhn needed to increase his foundation to reach back up to Martial Sky Ranked. There was a red fruit in the purplish tree. The fruit was a shiny red fruit that was like an apple.

Maximus explained that this fruit was called an Ancient Fruit. The Ancient Fruit was very rare, it was not found in other trials expect for Ancient and Legendary. When it appears in a Legendary Trial it was very rare for someone to find it.

The Ancient Fruit increased one's cultivation by multiple folds. Though, it was hard for people to process the contents of the fruit down to a pure form.

Zuhn sat down after picking the fruit out of the tree. He wanted to try and eat the fruit, to see it's full effects it had on the body. At first, Zuhn took a small bit when he didn't feel anything he took a bigger bit.

The second bit he took, sent energy all through his body. He felt all of his powers increase. Maximus was shocked at how fast Zuhn was able to absorb the pure energy in the fruit.

Zuhn went under the Ancient Fruit tree and laid his head down on the tree. He let out deep breaths, before sitting up and started to cultivate. He could feel all of the power flowing through him.

Zuhn moved his new energy through his body. All of the new energy found their place. By the time Zuhn opened his eyes, a full week past. Maximus was keeping time while Zuhn was cultivating.

It took one week for Zuhn to fully absorb all of the energy from the fruit. The fruit raised Zuhn's cultivation rank back to Martial Sky Rank. Zuhn didn't really feel himself reach the stage, because he already reached it before.

The next goal for him was reaching Martial Sky Lord. The problem with reaching Martial Sky Lord was the person needed to reach certain qualifications. When Maximus was trying to reach Martial Sky Lord, it took him a total of six years just trying to get the qualifications.

Maximus told Zuhn that everyone's qualifications were different. Each person had different ones to accomplish to reach Martial Sky Lord. Zuhn decided that he was going to each more Ancient fruit till he can't eat anymore.

Several weeks went by, and suddenly Zuhn couldn't eat any more fruits. Each time he tried to eat the fruits, nothing happened to his body. He was just eating normal fruits now.

Zuhn took a couple of fruits with him and walked farther down from the mountain making his way towards the bottom of the valley. Zuhn had to watch out for beasts and monsters from attacking him the father he went down the valley.
