Chapter 440: Spatial Barrier

Because the treasures others bring out might very well be things you have searched for for a long time without success. Now that you have finally seen them, you certainly cannot let the opportunity slip by.

Therefore, the emergence of a gambling match caused the entire Jiazi Trial to take on a different flavor. Lin Zhangqing could already feel a very distinct, oppressive atmosphere radiating from the scene.

Not a single cultivator here was a fool; they knew that this Jiazi Trial was definitely different from those in the past.

Having read the records provided by the sect, they knew that in the past, perhaps thirty or forty percent of people would make it out, but this time, it would be good if even ten or twenty percent did!

This made Lin Zhangqing worry involuntarily, and he couldn't help but squeeze Chen Zi Ya's hand, signaling her to be sure to be careful later.

At this moment, the fifteen sect ancestors who led the teams to participate in the Jiazi Trial all joined this gambling match.

After everyone had brought out wagers that were accepted by all, True Monarch Tian Ku finally summarized: "Alright! Since everyone has already participated!

After thinking clearly about the matter of the Shock-Spirit Cicadas, Lin Zhangqing began to process the demon beast corpses harvested today one by one. Of course, the most important thing was to take out the demon cores in their bodies and store them in categories.

When the time comes, the one ranked first will have priority in choosing five treasures from these wagers, and the one ranked second will choose four treasures from the remaining wagers.

And so on; the one ranked third will choose three treasures, the one ranked fourth will choose two treasures, and the one ranked fifth will have no choice—the remaining one treasure will belong to them.

After fifth place, there will be nothing left. How much one can harvest specifically depends on everyone's own means. Do any fellow Daoists have any other opinions?"

True Monarch Can Shi was the first to choose and said: "Let it be so! Fellow Daoist Tian Ku's arrangement is quite reasonable; I have no objections!"

Venerable Yan Ming thought for a moment and couldn't find anything improper, so he also spoke up: "Amitabha, this old monk has no objections. Let us execute it according to the method Fellow Daoist Tian Ku mentioned!"

"Agreed! No objections."

"Agreed! No objections."

"Agreed! No objections."

Thus, the sect ancestors spoke up one after another to express their agreement, having no objections. This included the Qingyun Sect's ancestor, True Monarch Lie Yang.

And just at this moment, every Qingyun Sect disciple participating in the trial heard a familiar voice in their ears: "All disciples, heed the order. True Monarch Lie Yang has an order.

In this Jiazi Trial, everyone must go all out. If you can kill disciples of other sects, you may keep their identity jade tokens as proof.

For jade tokens of the same rank, the sect will grant a reward of two thousand sect contribution points; for higher-rank jade tokens, the sect will grant five thousand contribution points as a reward.

For every ten identity jade tokens of other sect disciples provided, you may choose any one treasure from the sect treasury; there is no limit to the quantity, as long as you have enough jade tokens.

Finally, if anyone can produce one hundred identity jade tokens of other sect disciples, in addition to the aforementioned rewards, True Monarch Lie Yang will also accept them as a registered disciple.

If anyone can produce five hundred identity jade tokens, True Monarch Lie Yang can directly accept them as a formal disciple!

Also, the most important point: all disciples must be cautious and careful, and try your best to come out alive!"

Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya looked at each other, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes. He knew it would be like this.

It was estimated that the higher-ups of other sects, under the instruction of their respective ancestors, would definitely issue similar orders. By then, the competition inside the secret realm would surely be even more intense; it would absolutely be a scene of constant slaughter.

And at this time, Lin Zhangqing felt that someone among the Xianyin Sect disciples nearby had been staring at him.

Turning to look, it was indeed Mu Jiuyin and Lu Yuling, and both of them were very happy to see that Lin Zhangqing finally noticed them.

They nodded at him, and then Mu Jiuyin tossed a storage bag over to him, fortunately while they were standing in a relatively outer area.

The storage bag was successfully caught in his hand. Mu Jiuyin had already erased the divine sense on the storage bag, so he only had to refine it slightly to see the things inside.

There was only one thing inside: a Phoenix-Tail Conch. Although he didn't take it out to examine it, after a glance, he knew this belonged to a third-grade conch.

It could achieve sound transmission within ten thousand li, but Lin Zhangqing knew this secret realm was extremely vast, and being able to land within ten thousand li of each other.

Would require no small amount of luck. Even if he and Chen Zi Ya had the Heart-Tethering Pendant in hand, he would thank the heavens if the two of them could land within a few thousand li of each other.

He nodded at them, signaling that he understood their meaning. In any case, she was his sister-in-law; if they could meet, he would lend a helping hand.

If Lin Zhangqing were to go out of his way to find her, that would certainly be impossible. It was better to take good care of himself and Chen Zi Ya first!

At this time, True Monarch Tian Ku spoke again: "Since all fellow Daoists have already given instructions to your disciples, let us not waste any more time!

In the last trial, our Ghost Controlling Sect ranked first; this time, we will not be polite and will take the first step!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost Controlling Sect cultivators rushed into the spatial vortex in the center of the valley.

Having been ambushed by the Ghost Controlling Sect cultivators, everyone became anxious, and no one cared about the order anymore! Under the signal of their sect higher-ups, everyone rushed toward the spatial vortex. Lin Zhangqing had the most experience with this kind of thing.

In the end, if one really succeeded in cultivation, the path taken would be becoming a Buddha through the flesh. However, he didn't find the specific cultivation method, only a few words, which was a bit of a pity! There were only some problems the thieving bald donkey encountered from entry to now, and methods to solve them, which also let Lin Zhangqing understand some external refining methods.

It could be considered to have a little bit of reference value for him, but it wasn't too big. Mainly, his body-refining method was the internal refining method, so the reference wasn't big.

The entire valley suddenly became empty, leaving only the super traction formation in the center of the valley that was still operating, and a dozen or so cultivators from various sects maintaining the operation of the great formation.

After a wave of intense discomfort, Lin Zhangqing recovered his perception. Enduring the urge to vomit, he coughed a few times before he barely managed to adjust.

He knew he must have tumbled who knows how many times inside the spatial vortex to have this feeling of wanting to vomit. Fortunately, he was finally better now.

He hurriedly released Chu Yi from the spirit beast bracelet at the first opportunity, letting it guard the surroundings. As for Chu Er, he didn't dare to release it; Lin Zhangqing was certainly in an area teeming with second-stage spirit beasts now.

With Chu Er's late first-stage strength, releasing it now would be too dangerous; it was better to let it rest inside the spirit beast bracelet! Subsequently, with a thought, he tried to summon Lin Zhangliu, but it was not successful. Immediately after, a message came from the bottom of his heart.

It was the information fed back by Lin Zhangliu. According to Lin Zhangqing's understanding, it meant that it could not directly tear through the spatial barrier to appear by Lin Zhangqing's side.
