Chapter 789 - 733: End of the Trial

Chapter 789: Chapter 733: End of the Trial

As the entire realm completely shattered, amidst Li Shen Zhi’s laugh, filled with three parts heroic and seven parts tragic, they were plunged into darkness.

Soon after, a sensation of falling and dizziness simultaneously came upon them, as if floating among clouds, after drifting for a long time, their feet landed on solid ground, and suddenly a bright light pierced their eyes.

A cacophony of sounds filled their ears, there was the pained sobbing of survivors, the joy of reunited kin. Jiang Yuebai lowered her hand that shielded her from the light, seeing the wide White Jade Plaza filled with people everywhere.

Some were sitting on the ground, their faces pale, some were hugging each other, their tears streaming down, and some were lying on the ground, laughing and crying.

No one truly died, it was all a trial.

At this moment, there were only Nascent Soul Stage cultivators nearby, not a single Golden Core Stage person was seen, nor did any Great Power cultivators come forward to explain, perhaps they needed to wait a bit longer.

Li Shen Zhi appeared after, looking ghastly pale, devoid of blood, his body limp, leaning against Shen Huaxi as he sat down, his eyes blank as if he had suffered a great loss.

Jiang Yuebai could vaguely guess why he appeared like this, he might have thought that all this was a fleeting illusion, that it was all an illusion, not real.

But now it seemed, everything they went through in the realm, except death, was real.

So, Li Shen Zhi was truly injured, truly drained of his vitality, for him, it was akin to having someone directly snatch away his money!

Jiang Yuebai took out her flower basket to look, and indeed, it too was truly damaged!

Sigh...

Li Shen Zhi and Jiang Yuebai simultaneously sighed, their expressions identical.

What a wretched Qingyun Conference, Jiang Yuebai swore never to participate again!

"Was this... all fake? Why... why?"

Xie Jingshan stood in the distance, looking confused. Others, upon realizing it was just a trial, paused briefly before laughing, sitting down to rest with relief.

Only Xie Jingshan wore a strange expression, sweeping his eyes around, particularly along the perimeter of the platform.

It was still the ring-shaped mountain range outside the Qingyun Realm, a significant distance away, yet Xie Jingshan seemed able to see each person’s face, whispering and laughing at him.

Xie Jingshan’s face burned, recalling his ’madness’ at the last moment, crouched down covering his face, filled with shame.

"Oh dear! It’s all over!"

So many people had witnessed his madness, his aloof Sword Immortal image was utterly ruined! He could even imagine his little disciple casually saying ’Master, you’re so dumb.’

Poof~

Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but laugh aloud, even adding fuel to the fire, "Xie Jingshan, you really stole the spotlight this time, fought till the very last moment for the Human Clan, do you think True Monarch Cang Huo recorded it all, planning to proclaim it everywhere?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingshan’s mind buzzed, feeling dizzy, sitting heavily on the ground, his gaze blank.

After a moment, he abruptly came to his senses, looking at Shen Huaxi and Lu Nanzhi, both of whom had teasing smiles, he gritted his teeth and said, "You! Why didn’t you warn me?"

Shen Huaxi tilted her head, Lu Nanzhi looked at the sky, Jiang Yuebai shrugged.

All around was the scene of ’reunion,’ people from various sects and families gathered together.

Over at Five Mountains Immortal Sect, everyone surrounded Shi Yuming, chirping away with questions.

"Senior brother, how could you leave first?"

"Senior brother, this time you were quite unprincipled, we were still inside, yet you didn’t care."

"Stop talking nonsense, didn’t Fellow Daoist Lu say, senior brother was leading the way for us?"

"But I’m still a bit sad, I was hoping to battle together with senior brother, yet he left first."

The towering man was anxious, sweating profusely wanting to explain, but his junior brothers and sisters kept babbling, even arguing among themselves, leaving no chance for him to interject.

He wanted to say, he was the one to ’leave’ first, not leave first...

Forget it!

Shi Yuming drooped his head, giving up struggling.

On the other side, Zhuge Ziyin had some words regarding Moh Baichun for taking Zhuge Ziqian away first, yet Moh Baichun seemed unfazed, both staring at each other.

Zhuge Ziqian found it amusing and frustrating, until the first ’exit’ by Cicada Spirit drew Zhuge Ziyin away.

The people from Heavenly Interence Sect, along with Zhuo Qingfeng and Hua Yingshi, sat together, taking Elixirs, meditating to recover. Zhuo Qingfeng exchanged a glance with Jiang Yuebai, nodding slightly.

Shen Huaxi spotted three badly injured Martial Monks from Vajra Platform, speaking a word with Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi before heading over to assist.

Jiang Yuebai also saw Xing Tuozi from Ruyi Sect, carrying a bowl of strange black ointment, helping people with their injuries.

Those from True Martial Immortal Sect, Jing Quan and the others, shrank back into the crowd slyly, especially after finding out Shen Huaxi’s poison was fake; they couldn’t bear the embarrassment, choosing not to show their faces.

On the plaza, Medical Cultivators were scarce, Jiang Yuebai scanned around, noticing Jiangg Ling’er bustling back and forth; she suddenly remembered Pei Shengyue and the others, curious about how they fared.

While pondering, Jiang Yuebai saw a tattered figure in yellow clothing, covered in grime, Pei Shengyue with disheveled hair, breaking through the crowd heading straight for Jiangg Ling’er.

Seeing Jiangg Ling’er unscathed, Pei Shengyue’s lips trembled, a surge of grievance erupted, dropping the already broken Horse-Cutting Saber and longbow, rushing to embrace Jiangg Ling’er.

The once proud Pei Shengyue, now trembled with fright, unable to hold back her tears.

Lu Nanzhi walked up beside Jiang Yuebai, watching together, "Their bond is truly deep."

Jiang Yuebai nodded, feeling a tinge of emotion at the scene, muttering, "Indeed, had it been you and me, surely the same."

Jiangg Ling’er held Pei Shengyue, gently casting a Clear Heart and Concentration spell on her.

"Shengyue, don’t cry anymore, everyone is watching, it’s all just a trial, see, I’m fine?"

Gradually calming down, Pei Shengyue released Jiangg Ling’er, her eyes red, "Next time, next time, you absolutely cannot use your life to exchange for mine, understood?"

Jiangg Ling’er nodded fervently, "Okay!"

This honest reaction left Pei Shengyue stunned, they exchanged glances for a long time, breaking into smiles amidst their tears.

Nearby, Ye Tianlang leaned on his broken saber, extending a trembling hand, wanting Jiangg Ling’er to save him, yet despite calling for a while, no one heard him.

Helplessly, Ye Tianlang dropped his saber, seating himself on the ground, unpacking his Storage Ring, dumping handfuls of Elixirs into his mouth, chewing resolutely!

Jiang Yuebai spotted the North Pole Palace, Fengg Family, Wu Family, and several who had left with Pei Shengyue around them; upon asking, she learned that truly ’alive’ escaping, numbered fewer than fifty.

Though following Pei Shengyue, encountering fewer pursuers, when breaking through the encirclement at the southwestern end, there was no Transmission Array, only a Blood Demon Array nearly wiping them out.

Narrowly escaping the array, they found themselves trapped under the Realm Great Array, helplessly watching the realm’s destruction, waiting for death.

In the end, Pei Shengyue, Ye Tianlang, North Pole Palace, Fengg Family, Wu Family, the leaders from these sects and families put forth their Acquired Spiritual Treasures, exploding them to shake an opening in the array for others to escape using Cloud-Breaking Charge.

While Pei Shengyue and the others became buried with the realm’s demise.

Listening to this, Jiang Yuebai felt her heart ache, to dare explode Acquired Spiritual Treasures, truly crazy!

Yet compared to their losses, her flower basket only suffered minor damage, it could self-repair with good care over time, making her feel much better.

Though this trial was unreal, its intensity seared deeply, leaving all unforgettable for life.

Marked within their hearts, alongside them, were the truly ’Chosen Ones’ on the plaza!
