Chapter 292 - 292 – The Eighth Secret Realm
Is Zhuang Huanling joking about needing help?
She doesn’t even need to be in Dividing the Gods middle phase to handle this, let alone being undetected here. Therefore, she doesn’t need to worry at all.
Wait, the only thing she should worry about is this bastard in front of her!
“Hong Shixian, don’t think that just because you’re capable of causing trouble, you can blackmail me!” Zhuang Huanling stormed forward, grabbing Jiang Xiaobai’s collar and biting her teeth.
The distance between the two at this moment was even closer than when they quarreled last night, but neither of them seemed to notice this fact.
“I don’t mean to cause trouble, but I just want to know what’s going on inside. Otherwise, don’t blame me for choosing to fight till the end. At worst, I can teleport out.”
“I don’t believe that once these people find out you have two hundred Frenzy Demon Stones and want to enter the eighth secret land, they wouldn’t try their best to stop you!”
Jiang Xiaobai indeed came prepared for a desperate struggle.
He must find out what’s happening in the eighth secret land!
He couldn’t care less about the information Zhuang Huanling possessed, but he wouldn’t miss an opportunity to test it.
Yes, in Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes, Zhuang Huanling was a lab rat for experimentation.
What he needed was the precious data extraction.
Zhuang Huanling narrowed her eyes at his words.
“Are you sick? If you want to know what’s inside, just ask!”
“Why do you have to stir things up, don’t you think I would tell you if you asked?”
“You really won’t tell me.”
Jiang Xiaobai, with a shameless look on his face, asked in a cocky way, “So are you going to tell me?”
Zhuang Huanling gave Jiang Xiaobai a cross look and let go of his collar.
“I can tell you. It’s just a small matter. After all, even if you know what’s inside, you definitely won’t pass.”
Zhuang Huanling laughed coldly, “Don’t think you can attempt such a secret land just because you have many Frenzy Demon Stones, you don’t qualify.”
“Congratulations to the host for triggering the choice!”
“Choice one: Stop Zhuang Huanling from entering the eighth secret realm, reward: ‘Heavenly Venerate Earth Split Palm’ Skill.”
“Choice two: Publicize Zhuang Huanling’s intention, reward: Ten reputation points, five years of cultivation, and a Frostbite Armor.”
“Choice three: Wait for Zhuang Huanling to exit the eight secret realm, then enter and pass it. Reward: Ten reputation points, ten years of cultivation, one chance to forcibly comprehend the first layer of ‘Nine Heavens Star Sword Technique’.”
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned by the suddenly popped up options in front of him.
Wasn’t the third option like winning a grand prize?
Although the years of cultivation received from the system could significantly enhance his comprehension of some skills,
Jiang Xiaobai’s sword intent was also a result of the many cultivation year rewards.
But till now, he hadn’t even grasped the basics of the first layer of ‘Nine Heavens Star Sword Technique’!
This showed how formidable this sword technique was!
It was precisely because of this sword technique that he was able to achieve his current strength.
And now, he was being given the chance to forcefully comprehend the first layer, wouldn’t his combat power skyrocket?
“The third, the third option!”
Jiang Xiaobai shouted without any hesitation; he had to seize this great opportunity!
“Aren’t you going to move now?”
At this moment, Zhuang Huanling’s voice of fury broke through, and Jiang Xiaobai finally snapped back to reality.
“I can move aside. But you’re so sure that I can’t pass?” Jiang Xiaobai questioned with a smirk.
“Of course, you mustn’t know about the eighth secret land, do you?”
Zhuang Huanling sneered, “Ever since the Mad Demon Secret Land was discovered, over a thousand well-known prodigies have entered in these thousands of years. Do you know how many of them successfully passed?”
“Only five!”
“Do you think you’re one in ten thousand genius?”
Listening to Zhuang Huanling’s laughter, Jiang Xiaobai was surprised, “I thought you passed it?”
“Why should I tell you?”
Zhuang Huanling coldly responded, “Hong Shixian, if it weren’t for the many chances hidden in the Mad Demon Secret Land, I would have settled the score with you the moment we set foot in the Mad Demon Valley!”
“Although you are quite capable and powerful, don’t underestimate me either. I don’t want to waste time on you so you better cherish the current situation.”
“If you dare to push me, I won’t let you off easily!”
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders. He’d heard threats too many times to count. Being threatened and postured at was all too common for him.
He was already used to it, so he didn’t take Zhuang Huanling’s threat to heart.
He stepped aside and watched Zhuang Huanling, “Go on, my genius lady. I won’t bother you.”
“You know better.”
Zhuang Huanling huffed and briskly walked towards the entrance of the eighth secret land. She inserted two hundred Frenzy Demon Stones and started imprinting the aura.
Throughout this process, she kept a wary eye on Jiang Xiaobai.
If he dared to cause any trouble, she would not spare him.
Luckily, everything went smoothly. The aura was imprinted within five seconds and without any hesitation, Zhuang Huanling entered the gate.
Seeing the flickering light curtain, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and hid in a discreet spot.
Based on what just happened, Zhuang Huanling was in a hurry to enter the eighth secret land, she must have been confident about passing it.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t envy her. Everyone had different fortunes. For instance, his own system must have sounded crazy to others if they knew.
“I’ll have to see what tricks you’ve got.”
“And what kind of opportunities lie in this eighth secret land.”
Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself and then waited patiently.
Time flew by quickly. An entire afternoon passed with the woman still not emerging from the eighth secret land. This piqued Jiang Xiaobai’s curiosity. What could possibly be inside?
“If you won’t come out, I’ll wait forever!” Jiang Xiaobai huffed.
The second day went by in a flash!
It was evening and Zhuang Huanling still hadn’t shown any signs of exiting. This made Jiang Xiaobai slightly anxious.
He thought Zhuang Huanling might have exited and left via other means. However, he didn’t find her among the Jade Top Mountain team which reassured him.
Finally, on the third morning, when the fight for slots was at its fiercest, the light curtain at the entrance stirred.
Zhuang Huanling had come out!
The moment Jiang Xiaobai saw her, he was taken aback!
That’s because her aura and cultivation had already reached the peak of Dividing the Gods final phase!
