Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

"Ah, my Emperor Weapon!"

"My Emperor Martial Battle Technique!"

"What's going on, I just managed to grab these treasures, how can they just fly away?"

…

In the Illusion Realm, a great wail rose up, many disciples beating their chests and stomping their feet, so angry they almost vomited blood.

They, in the Illusion Realm, overwhelmed by the sight of so many treasures, had completely fallen into a trap, unable to extricate themselves, who even cared about finding the exit of the Illusion Realm?

They were all engaged in fierce battles, snatching various treasures, and as for entering the Main Hall, they had already given up.

Now, seeing the treasures they had finally managed to grab flying away on their own, how could they not feel heartbroken, not be saddened?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Xiao Ye looked ahead, only to see the treasures blanketing the sky, all flying into the hands of the Grand Elder of the Main Hall, who then placed them into a Space Ring.

"Hmph, such small treasures have caused you to lose yourselves, truly disappointing!" After doing all this, the Grand Elder of the Main Hall snorted coldly, his voice enveloped by Emperor Martial Power, thundering like a storm.

Many disciples, who were in the middle of wailing in pain, suddenly felt awakened, as if instantly enlightened, and came to their senses.

They flew up towards the Heavenly Dome, looking at the Grand Elder of the Main Hall with confusion.

Some disciples, who had suddenly snapped out of it and taking into account the words of the Grand Elder, instantly understood, their faces filled with despair.

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye also exited from his cultivation state, walked on empty air, and flew to the upper reaches of the Heavenly Dome, looking towards the Grand Elder of the Main Hall Disciples.

Fang Jie glanced at Xiao Ye and also flew over.

Those who participated in the second round of the trials, the Heavenly Hall Disciples, quietly waited for the Grand Elder of the Main Hall to announce the results.

Out of three thousand people, due to the struggle for treasures, about two or three hundred had fallen, with many more gravely injured.

"I am very disappointed this time!"

The Grand Elder of the Main Hall looked around the entire venue and spoke indifferently.

"In the second round, we put many treasures here because we old folks have placed a lot here, meaning that the treasures you were fighting over were deliberately placed here by us."

Whaaat!

Hearing these words, the disciples who hadn't reacted yet were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

The treasures they were fighting over were all deliberately placed by the General Hall Law Enforcement Elders?

Was this round of the trial related to these treasures?

Finally, in this moment, all the disciples truly understood.

Only Xiao Ye had a smile on his face.

It seems he guessed right.

"Before you entered the Illusion Realm, I specifically reminded you that no matter what happens in the Illusion Realm, priority should be given to finding the exit. Unfortunately, what I saw from the outside was you being moved by the treasures and even starting to fight over them, wasting all your energy on this."

"Only Xiao Ye remembered this saying of mine."

"He was not swayed by the treasures, the first to react, maintaining his Martial Arts Heart, which is very rare!"

As the Grand Elder of the Main Hall spoke, he also looked at Xiao Ye, his face showing a hint of satisfaction.

This time, Xiao Ye's performance in the Illusion Realm greatly pleased these Law Enforcement Elders.

The disciples who had given up on grabbing the treasures cast grateful looks towards Xiao Ye.

Honestly, if it wasn't for seeing Xiao Ye's abnormal behavior of giving up on the treasures, they might not have come to their senses yet.

"The performance of the others was very ordinary!" the Grand Elder of the Main Hall said, his tone becoming stern again.

"Those who grabbed the treasures in this round are all eliminated, only those who gave up on the treasures and continued to look for the exit are considered to have passed!" the Grand Elder declared authoritatively.

Swoosh!

As soon as these words were uttered, it shocked everyone!

All disciples who grabbed treasures were eliminated?

Damn, these treasures shouldn't have been touched at all!

Almost over ninety percent of the disciples' faces turned pale.

They finally understood completely what this round's assessment focus was.

It was testing their willpower; if they forgot their original intent and goal in front of treasures, then how could they ascend to the Martial Arts Peak and become strong in the future?

Such disciples, obviously, would not be accepted by the Main Hall.

Whaaat!

At that moment, with a wave of his hand, the Grand Elder of the Main Hall instantly conjured a brilliant halo of light, enveloping those disciples who had been announced as eliminated, and they instantly disappeared from the Illusion Realm.

Soon, only about two hundred disciples were left in the entire Illusion Realm.

Out of thirty-five thousand disciples participating in the Main Hall's assessment, only about two hundred remained after two rounds, showing the difficulty was indeed high.

"Congratulations, for passing the first two trials of Martial Arts Heart and Willpower, you qualify to enter our Main Hall." the Grand Elder of the Main Hall spoke, his tone becoming much gentler.

"Great Elder Lord, we... have passed this round of the assessment?"

"But we still haven't found the exit of the Illusion Realm yet." At this moment, Fang Jie hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"Hehe!"

The Grand Elder of the Main Hall laughed upon hearing this.

"This round tested your willpower, not to be lost over suddenly appearing treasures, so whether or not you can find the exit is not important."

"Moreover, do you think it's realistic to find an exit in a place like the Illusion Realm?"

What!

Hearing what the Great Elder said, all the disciples were stunned, glanced at each other, and gradually realized something.

From the words of the Great Elder, it seemed that there was never an exit in the Illusion Realm at all.

Thinking this, the disciples looked at Xiao Ye with a face full of amazement.

No wonder Xiao Ye didn't look for an exit either, but started cultivating on the spot; it seems he had thought of this earlier.

They had to admit, in this round Xiao Ye was always a step ahead of them, truly a terrifying genius.

"Damn it, this guy guessed it early, while I was still looking for the exit everywhere like a fool!" Fang Jie clenched his fists, his face filled with frustration.

Needless to say, in the second round, the one who performed flawlessly was none other than Xiao Ye, they all became mere foil.

"Alright, since you've passed the first two trials, both Martial Arts Heart and Willpower are qualified, but merely that is not enough to enter our Main Hall, you still need to pass the upcoming assessment, now come out."
