Chapter 373

"My magnificent Nine-Foot Xuanyang Illusionary Realm was broken just like that???"

"That shouldn't be! Even a Divine King Realm expert would be trapped dead inside the Nine-Foot Xuanyang Illusionary Realm!"

"Right, once the grand array activates, it's silent and invisible — forget a Golden Core, even a Divine King Realm expert can't detect it. Yet this Golden Core junior actually saw through it!"

Among the crowd, the leading elder with white brows and long hair said with a long laugh: "Hahaha, this batch of geniuses truly is a constant stream of talent."

"Being able to see through the Nine-Foot Xuanyang Illusionary Realm — this boy has great prospects ahead of him. If he grows in the future, he'll surely become a hegemon of his domain, and if he advances even further, he might leap to become a great power!"

Within the crowd, a woman with an enchanting, graceful figure, like a flower lightly dancing in water, exuded a captivating charm; her long hair cascaded like a waterfall down to her waist.

Her eyes were like azure gems, crystalline and translucent; her face was like a flawless porcelain doll; an extravagant long gown only added to her beauty!

"This boy is Lin Bai of the Weitaixuan Sect, also one of the hottest favorites of this trial — I just didn't expect him to give us such a huge surprise right at the start!"

"The Nine-Foot Xuanyang Illusionary Realm once caused countless Divine Kings to fall here. Who would have thought a mere Golden Core could break it? His cultivation may not have grown, but that sword in his hand is undeniably the number one sword under heaven!"

Hearing this, the crowd's faces instantly turned ashen, but soon they were overjoyed.

Because the one speaking was none other than the number one swordsmith on the continent, whose fame had resounded across the land for three hundred years from the Wushi Holy Land!

The Qinghua Fairy!

Over the past several hundred years, the divine swords she had forged were countless; every single one contained the power to destroy heaven and earth. To receive her recognition — one could well imagine just how terrifying the sword in Lin Bai's hand truly was!

An elder, his face full of doubt, said: "But even so, that's still not right. As far as I know, although Lin Bai has talent and is one of this batch's hot favorites, he was born in the Weitaixuan Sect, an Erliuzong Sect!"

"That sect has no treasure of any kind to speak of — could it be that Lin Bai obtained it by sheer luck?"

The Qinghua Fairy swayed her body, displaying her graceful figure, and said: "In my view, he didn't obtain it — he forged it himself!"

After she spoke, the many top experts were shocked once again; they stared dumbfounded, their faces now completely blank, unable to even form an expression!

What?

Forged it himself???

How could that be possible!!!

He's only a Golden Core!

A mere Golden Core can forge a divine sword?

Are you sure this isn't some fairy tale?

Yet, no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, the Qinghua Fairy's words were right there!

In terms of strength, perhaps any one of them picked at random might not necessarily be the Qinghua Fairy's match, but when it comes to sword-forging, no one dares claim first place!

Even the swords in their own hands came from the Qinghua Fairy.

One could well imagine just how shocked the Qinghua Fairy's words had made them.

A junior at the Golden Core Realm had forged a divine sword that only a Saint Realm great power like the Qinghua Fairy could produce!

How could they not be shocked by this!

At this moment, the leading elder coughed and said: "Although the Qinghua Fairy's words make a lot of sense, whether he can pass the trial still depends on whether Lin Bai can walk out of the secret realm!"

After he spoke, the crowd once again looked toward the mirror-flower-water-moon-like image.

……

Meanwhile, inside the secret realm!

The many geniuses stared at the island within reach and the abyss beneath their feet.

For a moment, they actually appeared at a loss!

The sequence token in their arms showed no movement at all, which indicated that the true trial was inside that island!

Going in meant facing all sorts of dangers; just a glance from the outside was enough to give one goosebumps.

One could well imagine what kind of difficulties were hidden inside, waiting for them!

After all, they had almost failed to get past even the first checkpoint — what about the checkpoints after?

But if they didn't go in, they couldn't enter the Wushi Holy Land, and those vast cultivation resources, the Wushi Holy Land's nurturing, and all manner of fortuitous encounters would bid them farewell forever!

What to do?

Everyone fell into a dilemma!

And just as the crowd was hesitating, Lin Bai didn't even blink; his right foot lightly tapped the ground, and with a whoosh he leapt up, flying straight onto the island!

The instant he landed, he plunged deep into the island without looking back!

This scene utterly dumbfounded the crowd!

Some even cursed out loud.
