Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

In the Illusion Realm.

With the passing of time, the battles among disciples grew more and more intense, with many having fallen.

Xiao Ye, seeing this, couldn't help feeling helpless; life was lost just like that for treasures that couldn't even be obtained, it simply wasn't worth it.

But there was no choice, sometimes reality was just that cruel.

Occasionally, disciples would fight to the death over a treasure right in front of him, yet he chose to ignore them, continuing to roam through the Illusion Realm in search of the exit.

Of course, aside from Xiao Ye, there were quite a few disciples who had also come to their senses, throwing away their treasures with a afraid beating heart like his, remaining calm and searching for the exit.

The Illusion Realm was too vast, almost half the size of the Taiyi Domain, and other than human Martial Artists, no other living creatures could be seen.

With Xiao Ye's current level of Cultivation, driving the Overriding Eight Desolates, his speed was already incredibly fast; yet after searching for a whole day, he still couldn't find where the exit was.

"There's only one last day left, in such a short time, finding the exit in such a large area is almost impossible unless one's luck defies heaven."

"Those General Hall Law Enforcement Elders, when they arranged this round of assessment, couldn't possibly intend for our complete defeat; there must be other intentions, and it's even more unlikely to create something that tests our luck."

Xiao Ye calmly analyzed.

From the current situation, unless he was very lucky, it was impossible for him to find the exit.

"What I should do next is probably wait for the exit to emerge on its own." A sudden realization struck Xiao Ye's heart.

Since he had understood that the second round within the Illusion Realm was designed to test their Willpower, then the talk about an exit might be nothing more than a ruse used by the General Hall Law Enforcement Elders to confuse them.

In fact, this exit might not exist at all.

Perhaps the Law Enforcement Elders of the Main Hall had thrown them into a sealed space and then scattered various treasures merely to see among them, how many had the willpower strong enough to maintain their Martial Arts Heart.

Although this was only Xiao Ye's speculation, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Since he could not find the exit, then he would just stop looking and wait for the time of assessment to pass.

Thinking this, Xiao Ye descended from the sky, he even looked up at the Heavenly Dome, feeling as if there were several tangible gazes fixed on him.

Xiao Ye smiled knowingly, found a dense forest, and dove into it, taking out a High Grade Essence Stone and began Cultivating.

Instead of wasting time on unnecessary things, it was better to use that time to Cultivate and enhance his Cultivation level.

"Senior Brother Xiao Ye, what's going on with him?"

"Is he going to give up on the assessment?"

The disciples who had similarly come to their senses, giving up the fight for treasures, couldn't help but express confusion upon seeing Xiao Ye's seemingly giving up.

They also noticed, among them, Xiao Ye had the strongest Willpower and control; with this lead in the assessment, how come he was giving up now?

"Haha, this is a great opportunity!"

"If Xiao Ye gets eliminated in this round, it would be perfect." Fang Jie, seeing Xiao Ye's actions, laughed heartily.

Xiao Ye had taken the lead since the start of this round, and now he was giving up actively looking for the exit; for Fang Jie, this was simply a godsend.

Fang Jie couldn't wait for Xiao Ye to give up and hurriedly continued his own search.

Could anything be more flamboyant than finding the exit the fastest, bursting out of the Illusion Realm, and appearing in front of all the Elders and the Holy Palace Master?

But looking for an exit in the Illusion Realm was extremely difficult; even with such intention, Fang Jie searched for a long time with still no clues.

At this time, the Elders outside the Illusion Realm secretly rejoiced, full of praise for Xiao Ye.

"We really didn't expect it, the old folks like us, our thoughts were thoroughly guessed by that kid Xiao Ye."

"Such promising youth, truly formidable, like the relentless waves of the Yangtze River."

Many Elders watched Xiao Ye's actions through the Copper Mirror, and they couldn't help but praise his reaction.

Why?

Because Xiao Ye's guess was correct.

Originally, there was no exit in the Illusion Realm.

The purpose of setting this Illusion Realm was purely to test the Willpower of these disciples, to see whether they would waver in face of treasures.

As for the exit, it was just to confuse these disciples.

After all, in such a vast space in the Illusion Realm, to find an exit without any hints, would only leave it to luck.

And luck wasn't the focus of their General Hall's assessment.

That Xiao Ye had so quickly caught on and simply gave up in search of the exit and began Cultivating on the spot, just this level of wisdom and calm wasn't something the Heavenly Palace Disciples could compare to.

Even the Law Enforcement Elders of the General Hall valued Xiao Ye's Willpower and calmness over his Cultivation talents themselves.

You must know, in a place like Central State, a genius with high Cultivation talent is easy to find, but a genius with both strong Willpower and a strong Martial Arts Heart is far too rare, and this is precisely the foundation of becoming a peerless powerhouse.

"Haha!"

Naturally, the Palace Master of the Holy Palace also saw Xiao Ye's performance and couldn't help but laugh in satisfaction.

"Having such disciples in the Holy Palace is our fortune, fortunately there is Xiao Ye, it looks like our Holy Palace has successors." The Holy Palace Master thought to himself, even thinking about cultivating Xiao Ye as the successor to the Holy Palace Master.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was nearing the end of the second round of the assessment.

At this time, Fang Jie and the other disciples who gave up on fighting for treasures, were still relentlessly searching for the exit.

"Damn it, where on earth is the exit, why can't I find it?" Fang Jie held back a stomach full of ire.

He had been searching for a day and night, even with his profound Cultivation, he couldn't withstand such mental and spiritual exhaustion, he was already feeling very tired.

His desire to stand out in this round grew weaker and weaker.

"Could it be that there really isn't an exit in this Illusion Realm?" Fang Jie, thinking of Xiao Ye's action to give up, couldn't help but wonder.

Boom!

Just at that moment, the entire Illusion Realm suddenly trembled, a terrifying Emperor's Suppression was released, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, extremely fearsome, even the sky changed color.

"The time is up, the second round of assessment has ended, all disciples stop."

The Law Enforcement Great Elder stood proudly above the Heavenly Dome of the Illusion Realm, like a peerless King. With a wave of his sleeve, all the treasures in various places of the Illusion Realm were forcibly seized and shot towards him.
