Chapter 317: The True Heaven's Pride

The twelfth floor of the Zhisheng Ta!

Lu Li, the Yu Sheng, and King Qian all looked outside the Zhisheng Ta.

Watching the Martial King experts walking in one by one, their expressions were all calm.

"This can also be considered a kind of trial!"

The Yu Sheng spoke softly.

Having been a Saint for over a hundred years!

He knew very well that the deeper one goes on the path of Martial Dao, the more one needs the spirit of a powerhouse who presses forward without hesitation; without such spirit, it is fundamentally impossible to break through to the Saint Realm of transcending the mundane and entering sainthood.

This gathering of Kings!

Only those Kings with the courage to fear no death and enter the Zhisheng Ta have a sliver of a chance to step into the Saint Realm; for the others, with this abandonment, their Martial Dao hearts will only slowly erode over endless time.

There will never be a second possibility!

"Then let us guess how many of these hundreds of Martial King experts can take this step."

The corners of Lu Li's mouth lifted slightly.

Just now!

He had already informed everyone of the dangers of the God-Demon Battlefield.

On that God-Demon Battlefield!

Besides the vast and infinite army of fierce beasts, the greatest threat is that it is shrouded in thick fog and devoid of any spiritual energy.

That is to say!

Once one's origin is exhausted, one can only wait for death!

This is ten thousand times more dangerous than facing an army of fierce beasts!

After all, they have already broken through to the Martial King Realm; facing an ordinary army of fierce beasts, their chances of survival are not small, but in such an environment, powerful cultivation has no advantage whatsoever.

This, how could they dare to take risks recklessly?

"I fear that no more than a hundred people will enter this Zhisheng Ta."

King Qian's voice was low.

The choice Lu Li gave!

Was equivalent to letting them face death directly!

And in this world, how many people can truly face death directly?

Furthermore, they are already Kings; even if they do not continue to break through, they still have hundreds of years of lifespan and can live happily on this Lan Xing, so why must they force themselves to take risks?

On this Lan Xing, the road to the Saint Realm has not been severed!

Perhaps if the opportunity is sufficient!

One day, they will break through!

"King Qian is estimating too conservatively."

Lu Li smiled lightly.

"As long as fifty people enter, that would be quite good."

Facing death directly!

Unless it is a life-or-death moment, it is fundamentally impossible to make such a choice; it requires a great spirit of pressing forward without hesitation and an incomparably firm Martial Dao heart.

And many of the people present here broke through after the Great War of Fierce Beasts!

Having lost the tempering of blood and fire!

They have inherently lost the heart of a powerhouse!

Sure enough.

After the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn!

Out of these hundreds of people, only thirty-six entered the Zhisheng Ta.

Aside from people from Qian City like Jiang Wuyan, Ouyang Xue, and Zhang Chi, most of these thirty-six were scattered among the other seven cities; as for the number of people who entered from Sheng Cheng, it actually ranked second to last, only one more than Kun City, which had been destroyed once.

"Heh, indeed, after a hundred years of peace, although they have experienced several Great Wars of Fierce Beasts, it is still not enough to bring out their strength!" The Yu Sheng gave a self-deprecating smile.

"One cannot blame them; after the Great War of Fierce Beasts, people's hearts yearn for stability, and they only wish to live well," King Qian consoled.

"In the end, it is we who have provided too much protection!"

The Yu Sheng sighed softly.

For the past hundred-plus years!

In order to protect the last seeds of the human race, he alone blocked most of the dangers, and later, when King Qian and Lu Li broke through, they also relied on their own strength to thwart all conspiracies.

The people in Sheng Cheng!

Except for a limited number of Great Wars of Fierce Beasts!

They have fundamentally not experienced much hardship!

Without the pressure of death, their Martial Dao will has also been slowly eroded.

Lu Li was not disappointed, however.

The path of Martial Dao is inherently perilous!

The difficulties within are far beyond everything else!

It is entirely understandable not to want to continue; among his ten-plus students, several gave up, and even Shen Yiya and Zhou Wuyan, who had already reached the peak of the Martial King realm, did not enter the Zhisheng Ta.

But this cannot be taken to mean they are useless!

They, at the very least, pushed forward the progress of the entire Lan Xing's Martial Dao.

Thinking this.

Lu Li casually closed the gates of the Zhisheng Ta.

Outside the Most Holy Pagoda, those hundreds of experts had no choice but to leave on their own.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Half a day passed.

After preparing everything, Lu Li sent all thirty-six of them to the God-Demon Battlefield.

As for those preparations, besides three bottles of spirit pills for restoring origin essence for each person, there were also communication jade slips that could be activated at any time, and a teleportation array meticulously crafted by Lu Li that allowed them to return to Lan Xing from within a certain range at any time.

And the protective spirit seal deduced with the help of the Qian King Peerless Order!

Within that spirit seal!

It contained Lu Li's full-strength strike at this moment!

The previous attempt was just a test; these people were Lan Xing's most outstanding prodigies, so Lu Li naturally would not let them die in vain, but this was all he could do; although these measures were for self-defense, they could not block all dangers.

Especially in the midst of the endless fierce beast wars.

Once they broke in!

These preparations would be almost equivalent to nothing!

After sending those thirty-six people away, Lu Li still did not leave.

He came to the Sacred Star Court!

Besides leading Lan Xing to avoid the pursuit of the Myriad Beast God Nest, his greatest goal was to obtain a few Martial Emperor-level cultivation techniques; only in this way could he use his ten-thousand-fold talent to deduce the next stage of cultivation for his God-Deriving Technique.

So as not to fall into endless confusion!

But Martial Emperor-level techniques were all held in the hands of Martial Emperors, and it would be difficult to obtain them if he did not want to get involved in the Sacred Star Court.

Now that he had arrived at the Fourth Realm of the Sacred Star!

He was already approaching the core of the Sacred Star Court and had to think clearly about how to proceed.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

Looking at Lu Li, who sat motionless, Yu Sheng could not help but ask, "Brother Lu, have you still not thought of a way?"

"One naturally cannot think of a way by just daydreaming." Lu Li's expression was calm.

"Then what is Brother Lu doing now?"

Yu Sheng could not help but feel a bit strange.

"I am waiting."

"Waiting?"

"Yes, waiting for them to bring back news." Lu Li smiled lightly.

"I understand!"

Yu Sheng understood instantly.

Lu Li was waiting for those thirty-six Lan Xing prodigies who went to the God-Demon Battlefield, waiting for them to bring back some news so that he could have a reference for how to act.

However, he still felt a bit strange.

With Lu Li's cultivation, going to scout for information himself would be much faster than waiting here.

"Just consider it as accompanying them on their trial."

Lu Li nodded.

Those thirty-six people were all Lan Xing prodigies; even if he scouted out information, he could not just walk away and leave them all here, so it was better to wait here for them to return on their own.

Although each of them had three bottles of spirit medicine to restore their origin essence, they could easily be exhausted if they encountered a fierce beast war.

Under such circumstances!

There would be no other way except to activate the teleportation array to return.

"That's true, one couldn't just leave them all here."

Yu Sheng gave a bitter smile.

Being able to have this trial opportunity was only possible because of the Great Dao suppression, where Martial Emperor realm experts could not take action; otherwise, in the war between the Sacred Star Court and the Myriad Beast God Nest, Lu Li might not have truly dared to let those talents out.

"Indeed, if nothing unexpected happens, the time should be about right."
