Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Madly Accumulating Wealth
When the news spread, the Blade Shadow Sect bore the brunt of it.
After all, they were the reason why things had turned out this way.
If it hadn’t been for the Blade Shadow Sect, they wouldn’t have had to deal with the troublesome Jiang Xiaobai in the first place.
And they wouldn’t have suffered such losses!
If they had only lost an opportunity to gain advantages in the secret cliff realm, it would have been bearable.
But they lost many of their genius disciples!
All of them potentially destined for the Great Achievement stage. Who could bear such a loss?
Let me add a point here.
Due to different world rules of the Three Thousand Worlds, the number of experts produced also varies.
In the Tianxuan Continent, experts at the Great Achievement stage are extremely rare.
Although in the top Star Purgatory Worlds among the middle Three Thousand, people at the Great Achievement stage are not as rare.
But they’re still precious!
This is already the most powerful stage below the Immortal realm. Every disciple or expert at the Great Achievement stage is a potential candidate for becoming an Immortal.
So when calculated this way, the losses of all the sects are indeed serious!
The Blade Shadow Sect had to face a wave of complaints.
Moreover, they had to make countless compensations to pacify the other powers.
After all, though the Blade Shadow Sect is strong, it’s still not enough if all the forces of the Star Purgatory World decide to gang up on them.
The current situation is that after such considerable losses, these forces are going mad.
Literally mad!
If no compensation is given, the Blade Shadow Sect might be torn to pieces by these sect powers.
Luckily, the Blade Shadow Sect understands the current situation.
They’re also in a critical phase, preparing for a significant event.
There’s no room for errors.
The compensation was given to each force, slightly making up for the loss.
Now it’s the Blade Shadow Sect’s turn to sigh.
Naturally, this account was laid on Jiang Xiaobai’s head.
The entire Blade Shadow Sect had varying opinions on how to deal with Jiang Xiaobai.
Some thought that an Immortal realm powerhouse should be sent directly to kill him.
Others thought Jiang Xiaobai should be captured alive.
They could then use this super genius to curry favor with the Star Sword Sect and make up for their loss.
But in the end, no conclusion was reached amidst all the arguments.
As for Lv Yuanzheng.
Well, he’s definitely going to suffer.
As he was the ringleader of this incident, causing so many losses, it’s hard to evade his responsibility.
Lv Yuanzheng, who had been keeping watch outside the secret cliff realm, was in throbbing pain.
He had no idea how Jiang Xiaobai had managed to survive against such odds.
This was beyond his comprehension!
The only piece of good news was that, in order to prevent further trouble from Jiang Xiaobai, they had already sent someone at the Immortal realm over.
Before the sect decides what to do with Jiang Xiaobai, if they encounter each other, the plan is to capture him alive if possible.
…
Jiang Xiaobai in the secret realm naturally had no idea of what was happening outside.
He was now leading a few people, hovering before a muddy swamp.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had already figured out that this place was used as a trial for certain individuals.
It wasn’t just that there were stone tablets in ordinary areas. Those forbidden locations, like areas inhabited by Immortal realm savage beasts, would surely have stone tablets as well.
However, those Immortal realm savage beasts would definitely not participate themselves.
Or at least, their manner of participation was different.
And now, Jiang Xiaobai realized that these Immortal realm savage beasts seemed to regard him differently.
They seemed to be indifferent and contemptuous.
But the bottom line was that they probably weren’t hostile towards him.
“They’ve mentioned previously that because of me, they would finally get a chance to leave this secret realm?”
Jiang Xiaobai murmured to himself.
If that was the case, those savage beasts certainly wouldn’t go after him.
So, should he attempt to enter the areas inhabited by these savage beasts to look for stone tablets and resource advantages?
The greatest danger in the entire secret realm did not apply to Jiang Xiaobai.
Therefore, he could collect more benefits!
The eerie swamp they were now at was one of the locations on the map marked as inhabited by Immortal realm savage beasts.
The people from the Star Purgatory World who had come here did not dare to venture inside.
But Jiang Xiaobai dared!
The only thing needing consideration was whether he would face danger from these Immortal realm savage beasts.
“Shall we go for it?”
“Won’t it be too risky?”
“After all, they’re Immortal realm savage beasts. What if they have some sort of rule restraining them from attacking me?”
Jiang Xiaobai mulled things over in his mind a lot.
But in the end, he couldn’t resist the lure of good stuff.
Even though he had no idea what benefits these stone tablets could bring, he knew there must be quite a bit.
After a long while, he finally made up his mind, let’s do it!
“If worst comes to worst, I’ll just jump back into the Pagoda. They won’t be able to do anything to me!”
With his mind made up, Jiang Xiaobai bravely led the group into the swamp.
Take the risk and hope for great rewards!
How could there be so many benefits without taking risks and striving hard?
He desperately needed resources to upgrade his realm now!
Some of the other people were worried about Jiang Xiaobai’s actions, such as Huo Shuyu.
They were concerned about the potential danger.
However, when Jiang Xiaobai took out the Pagoda as reassurance, their worries eased slightly.
But they continued to be extremely cautious on their way.
Surprisingly, there was no danger during the entire search of the swamp!
They even encountered several savage beasts, but none of them seemed intent on attacking.
Whenever they met these beasts, the beasts would simply look at them and then turn away.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai was certain that these savage beasts would definitely not attack him due to the influence of the Immortal realm savage beasts!
This only made him even bolder!
Wherever he passed, not a trace of life remained. He even used this situation to fight for spirit fruits, essence, and other resources with the savage beasts!
Even so, these beasts did not dare to touch Jiang Xiaobai and his group.
They could only roar angrily on the spot, but they didn’t dare to move.
Jiang Xiaobai and his group were laughing their heads off!
After completing the search of one swamp area, they moved on to the next danger zone.
One zone after another.
Eventually, after four days, Jiang Xiaobai and his team had thoroughly searched all the dangerous areas nearby!
The benefits they gained were startling, beyond imagination!
What’s more terrifying is that they had collected many stone tablets, even including one purple-gold tablet and one black tablet, the type of tablet said to only exist in legends!
The benefits from so many tablets were unimaginable!
“Hahahaha, we’ve struck it rich!”
Jiang Xiaobai was excited beyond words.
This trip was definitely worthwhile!
Just when they were preparing to happily head to the center of the secret realm to claim the trial rewards…
A voice from the system suddenly echoed in Jiang Xiaobai’s mind!
“System Unlock!”
“Congratulations Host for triggering the selection!”
“Option one: Survive in the secret realm for three more days, Reward: 100 points of reputation, 100,000 medium-grade Immortal stones.”
“Option two: Receive the rewards of the secret realm and clear the final trial! Reward: 2,000 reputation points, 300,000 medium-grade Immortal stones.”
“Option three: Clear the final trial and explore the dangerous areas within the secret realm, as follows…”
“Reward: 5,000 reputation points, 500,000 medium-grade Immortal stones!”
