Chapter 140 - 140 A pair of fishermen

Shun Long fell in contemplation for a while, after hearing Liu Mei's question, before he finally answered

''I wasn't planning to stay in the 'floating cloud sect' forever, so, leaving the sect after exiting the 'Vermilion realm' isn't such a bad choice then.''

What Shun Long had said was the truth. After all, he was still planning to find out more things about the 'Stone of Time', visit the 'Ruins of the Universe', and become strong enough to protect himself and his parents. He also had to learn more about little Black's origins, so he wasn't planning to stay in the 'floating cloud sect' for the rest of his life.

Liu Mei felt happy when she heard Shun Long's answer, as she then continued

''Then, why don't you also come to the Silver sword city?''

Shun Long's eyes betrayed his puzzlement as he looked at Liu Mei, since he had never heard of the name Silver sword city before.

Liu Mei understood that Shun Long must not know about the internal secrets of the King's realm, as she then said

''Ah, let me explain what I know first.

There are actually 2 ways to leave the 'Vermilion realm'.

The first, is the normal way, where you just have to wait for 3 months to pass. 3 months after everyone has entered the 'Vermilion realm', a teleportation array will force us to return back to the Lightning Wasteland.

The second way however, requires one to have passed the second trial. After we pass the second trial, the overseer of the King's palace will allow us to choose, if we want to stay in the Desolate east, or... if we wish to go to the Silver sword city of the Night star continent.

Both the 'Golden Buddha temple', as well as the Snowcloud country where Yang Gongsun is from, are actually located in the Night star continent as well, while the 'Golden Buddha temple' here, is said to be just a branch of the actual temple.

The Night star continent is actually located very close to our Desolate east, and even experts at the Nascent Soul realm are not rare there.

...But as for why the overseer would choose to send us in the Silver sword city... I don't know that.''

After listing everything that she knew about the King's palace, Liu Mei looked at Shun Long who was still digesting all this information.

A few breaths of time later, Shun Long smiled at Liu Mei while his eyes were staring at her deep black eyes, before he said

''Thank you.

I still have to consider the matter about that Silver sword city for some more, but before that, we still need to kill 2 rank 3 magic beasts to pass the second trial.''

Liu Mei felt her cheeks reddening after seeing Shun Long's smile when she nodded her head. Indeed, Shun Long couldn't just decide to leave the Desolate east on the spot.

Then, with a serious look on her face she said

''That's why Liu Changpun had ordered everyone to gather in the central region.

I believe that he has already passed the second trial long ago. After all, his aim is to get the legacy inside the King's palace, so, passing the second trial earlier gives him more time to fully focus on the third trial.''

Just as Liu Mei finished her words, tremors sounded from the top of the mountain, while the cave that the 2 of them were in seemed as if it was on the verge of collapse.

Shun Long and Liu Mei quickly rushed out of the cave, as they turned their heads to look at the top of the mountain.

2 magic beasts seemed to be fighting, and based on the destructive power that they were exhibiting, it was clear that they weren't simple early rank 3 magic beasts.

Shun Long and Liu Mei turned to look at each other before they slowly ascended the mountain.

After they reached closer to the mountain's peak, Shun Long immediately understood what was happening.

In the world of magic beasts, there were certain beasts that were natural enemies, one example of which was the 'iron-winged eagle' and the 'earth bear' that Shun Long had seen in the Demonic Mountain region.

Once they started fighting, these magic beasts usually wouldn't stop until one of them was dead.

The scene in front of him now was another such example, as a middle rank 3 'Ice hawk' was fighting with a middle rank 3 'Demonic spider'.

Looking at the 2 magic beasts that were fighting with reckless abandon, unwilling to rest until the other one was down, Shun Long's eyes shone as he gestured at Liu Mei to be silent.

Liu Mei's eyes widened as she understood what Shun Long wanted to do and whispered

''Is it really possible to act as the fishermen on 2 middle rank 3 magic beasts?''

It wasn't that Liu Mei didn't believe in Shun Long, as she had already seen his strength when he had killed the 3 disciples of the Poison Hall.

But even an early rank 3 magic beast could also kill Su Honghui and his 2 brothers, let alone a middle stage one.

Shun Long smiled as he heard Liu Mei's question and said

''Before entering the second trial, that ethereal voice had said, that this trial wouldn't only test one's power, but also their scheming ability as well as their perceptiveness.

If there was no other way to pass the second trial aside from banding together, then wouldn't those like Liu Changpun who got help from their sect members, be the only ones who pass through it?''

Liu Mei looked as if she had just understood a critical point that she had previously missed regarding this trial.

Right! The second trial also tests one's perceptiveness.

After all, it was common knowledge that average magic beasts, could usually dominate cultivators who were at the same level as them, so how could those disciples who were still at the peak of rank 3 in Heaven grade or lower, kill magic beasts at the early rank 3 or even higher?
