1461 Passed the Trials; the Limitless Ocean (1/2)

The officer in golden armor was calm and steadfast at first, but after the conversation with the vice-captain, he was not anymore. In a shaking voice, he said, ”If this Ye Xiao… If he is a member of the Ye Clan, a nineteen years old genius young man… If he dies in the Nine Death Trials… Well, then…”

The vice-captain's face twitched and he said, ”If he is… If that is true… I am afraid… that we will be…”

The two of them exchanged a hint through eye contact, and both found fear in each other's eyes.

The next moment.

The two of them rushed out and ran as fast as they could toward the entrance of the Nine Death Trials.

'No, no, no, no… Please don't let that guy die in here… No, please don't…'

'If he dies, we will die with him. Well, maybe worse. It would be easier if only the two of us die… I am afraid… All our families would die as well!'

”Where is the guy who just came for the trials? Where is he? Which trial is he now?” The captain asked the guard at the entrance loudly.

The guard seemed to be surprised. He was totally confused. The shout that suddenly sounded at him didn't wake him up at all. After a while, he said, ”What? What man? What?”

The officer in golden armor was anxious, so he slapped the guard on the face and said angrily, ”Bloody bastard! I am asking you!”

”Oh… I…” The guard finally realized what happened, so he hurriedly knelt down and begged for forgiveness. He was still in shock, and he said, ”Captain, please… Forgive me. I was in shock… I was astounded. That's the reason why I would act like that…”

”What happened? What shocked you like that?”

”It was… It was the man who entered the trials…” The guard was awakened, and he said, ”Captain, did you just ask about the man who got into the trials?”

The officer held down his anger and said, ”That's right, I did! How is he? Tell me the details!”

”That guy… That guy is not human!” The guard seemed to be quite surprised. ”He is… He is a monster! A complete monster…”

”Monster?” The officer kept his eyes wide open and said, ”Tell me everything.”

”He… He was already gone. He passed the trials and left…” The guard was in shock. ”When he entered the trials, he went forward like cutting bamboos with a long sharp sword… It only took him less than one minute to reach the ninth trial from the first… Now… Now he has already broken it through… He must have left the Land of Wrecked Dreams now… He should be hundreds of miles away from us…”

”What?” The officer and the vice-captain were both shocked.

The restraint on the Land of Wrecked Dreams wasn't just something ordinary. It was specially made for the cultivators in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Stronger cultivators would encounter stronger trials in there. For so many years, only a few people had reached the seventh level. Nobody had ever broken through all the trials. If people without dreams could easily break through the trials, what was the point? Did they have dreams or did they not? If they could start their lives over again that easily, wasn't it too much to take for greedy people?

However, the young lord Ye Xiao actually just broke through all the nine trials within a short time!

He didn't even get obstructed by any difficulties!

The officer and his vice-captain both would love to know that Ye Xiao was safe, but when they heard that he went through the trials so easily, they were astonished. It was unbelievable!

'Isn't it… Isn't it just too unbelievable? That is absurd!'

'He must be the young generation of that powerful man! He is truly unpredictably capable!'

”How… How did he do it?” The officer was shocked.

”I have no idea, Captain. That guy went to fast… I just couldn't see clearly what happened.”

The officer was shocked, and then he was enlightened. He laughed and said, ”It is good that he safely went through the trials. It is much better than dying here. What happened today must be my fortune… It may not be my lucky day, but it is my day… Hah hah hah…”

The two of them went into the trials to check on the facilities, and they were shocked again when they found that none of the facilities was damaged.

Ye Xiao was just like a cloud of cyan smoke, flying over the trials.

Many years later, the officer and his vice-captain still didn't understand why Ye Xiao could do it so easily. In fact, it had become an unsolved mystery in the history of the Land of Wrecked Dreams.

…

The truth about Ye Xiao getting through the Nine Death Trials was a secret… People knew how to play tricks, but all every trick was different from others. A man could get anything done as long as he could think of the right way to do it. Ye Xiao had a lot of things that he had to do in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. He needed to meet his ladies and brothers as soon as possible, so he truly didn't want to waste time on getting through some trials! Besides, in the trials, there was a fatal danger that he had to get over with.

When he entered the Nine Death Trials, he chose to do it in an extreme way. He took out the Golden Soul Tower, which was given to him by Lin Wuxie as a gift. He put the tower over himself as protection. All he needed to do was to activate the Golden Soul Tower in full power and kept rushing straight forward.

All the attacks from the Nine Death Trials were sent back by the Golden Soul Tower. That was the only reason why Ye Xiao could get through the nine trials so easily. After getting through the trials, he directly left the place.

'In Human Realm Upon Heavens.'

'I, Ye Xiao, am finally here!'

That was the truth about how Ye Xiao went through the Nine Death Trials in one minute. Sometimes the truth wasn't as beautiful as the story told. Sometimes it was romantic, and sometimes it was just pretentious. That was how absurd things could be in reality!

…

After leaving the Land of Wrecked Dreams, Ye Xiao didn't stop. He was like a cloud of smoke, fleeting over the land in a whole day.

There were some towns and cities on his way forward, but he didn't stop, he just went directly through them. All he did was to keep rushing forward.

He clearly knew that those towns and cities he met behind him were all low-grade places which were unimportant in the East Sky. He had to cross a big chaotic battlefield before he arrived at the first city in the East Sky!

Ye Xiao had a theory that was deep-rooted in his head.

He believed that if one wanted to be influential, he should start his life in the most thriving city!

It did work best at some point!

As long as he could become famous in the most thriving city soon, where it was also the place with most competitors, he would have a great future in the world.

If he could fight his own way to be an influential man in the city that was full of heroes and the royal born, it must be easy to achieve greatness in other places.

That was why Ye Xiao always had a clear destination.

He was marching toward the first city in the East Sky.

He had learned about the name of this city, the White King City!

When Ye Xiao was heading toward the White King City, he had to stop somewhere when he went across the Limitless Ocean.

…

The Limitless Ocean.

The name of this place had two meanings. First, it meant this area was so broad like it was limitless. Second, this area wasn't under anybody's control. It was a lawless, anarchic area.

Sometimes a person's name didn't tell the truth about the man, but the name of a place did!

The Limitless Ocean wasn't an ocean though. It was a broad land with a lot of mountains, and it had nothing to do with the ocean.

From this area, the east, the west, the north, and the south were regions of the four conquerors, while the Limitless Ocean was a lawless martial world that nobody could conquer!

Jiang Hu, as known as the martial world, wasn't Jiang, or Hu, so it was reasonable that the Limitless Ocean wasn't an ocean.

There were no rules here.

There was no bottom line.

There was only one law—strength meant all!

It was quite like the most important rule in the Qing-Yun Realm. Who had the bigger fist had more rights to judge. The strong lived, while the weak died.

It was the jungle laws! The law of nature!

Since Ye Xiao set his foot on the soil of the Limitless Ocean, he started to feel the fierce qi of death in the air everywhere.

Ye Xiao stopped moving and just stared at the road in front of him. He frowned.

What he saw was not a city or a mountain range. It was a broad plain.

'The Limitless Ocean, where there is no limit. Blood rises to the sky; heroes keep to the side. Great plans were always sour; flowers blossom among blood and fire. It is thousands or a million miles wide; it is deeper than the sadness in a man's heart.'

'The Limitless Ocean, where there is no limit. One step into the ocean and there is no way back home.'

This was a world full of blood and violence!

From where Ye Xiao stood to where the Limitless Ocean ended on the other side, it was about one million miles far!

How many dangers was Ye Xiao going to face on the one million miles?

Ye Xiao stood where he was, and he was lost.

He was a human being, so he could be fragile. Sometimes he would be sad, and sometimes he wept. In most of his life, he was absolutely a superior cultivator who could defeat the entire world, so he ignored the fear. He used to think that he would never feel fear. However, as a low-level cultivator in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, an ordinary man in this world, for the first time he worried about his future. For the first time, he felt the fear rising inside him!

At this moment, the Monarch's Sword appeared in his hand, and it suddenly made a loud and clear sound. It was the fierce sound of the sword!

It seemed the sword was saying, ”Master, let's kill our own way from here! Let's go through this area and reach greatness without regret!”

Ye Xiao took a deep breath, staring at the demarcation stone of the Limitless Ocean, and he said in a low voice, ”Kill our own way… No, I can't. But if I can rush over this… When I get there, it will be enough!”

He was talking about rushing over this huge area.
