Chapter 3509 — The Purpose of the Trial

This was not what Wei Zhao had hoped to see, but if Tianchan was present, Wei Zhao trusted that she would back him up no matter what.
"Most of you come from the great ancient clans and sects, so I will not dwell on the dangers of this trial in detail. Since you have come, you must already know them well, and I trust even the lone cultivators understand. The trial is full of peril. If you do not wish to die, you may withdraw now. Once you enter, your life and death are in the hands of fate!" Ancestor Xuanchen paused briefly here, his gaze sweeping over to where the inheritors stood, then continued: "The trial participants face danger, and so do the inheritors. But your task is to protect the inheritors and see that no harm comes to them. Otherwise, all of you are finished! Cloud-Tier Island will not open, and all the skill you have cultivated before will have been for nothing!"
Ancestor Xuanchen's words left the trial participants below rather silent. Indeed, they had come here for only one purpose: to ascend to the Heavenly Dao. If anything happened to the inheritors, then their dreams would all be shattered.
Many of them were still thinking of making a grand showing on Cloud-Tier Island, of gazing upon those legendary seniors who had gone there before. If all of it came to nothing, they would regret it to the death.
But then again, everything carries risk; so long as everyone did their utmost, that would suffice.
Ancestor Xuanchen looked at the expressions of the cultivators below and was well satisfied. This trial differed from all those before it. If something went wrong, everyone would be finished together, but from the look of things now, everyone had begun to take it seriously.
"Good. Since you all understand the importance of this trial, I will now speak of its rules! The trial will last three days, with a margin of five! This is likely the shortest trial you have ever taken part in. That is right, for if it went on too long, you could not endure it, and there would be no point anyway. So long as the inheritors' inherited attribute power is consolidated, the purpose of the trial will have been achieved!" Ancestor Xuanchen said. "The site of this trial is still the Five Wretched Wilderness that many of you have visited before, but this time the location within the Five Wretched Wilderness is different. To be precise, it should be called the Five Wretched Mountains!"
What Ancestor Xuanchen described differed greatly from the trials of the past, and everyone present listened with the utmost attention. When they heard that the trial was still to be held in the Five Wretched Wilderness, their expressions all turned grave.
Last time, when the tide of spirit beasts erupted, many had nearly died there. To go to the Five Wretched Wilderness again would surely be exceptionally dangerous.
"The destination of this trial is the lair of the Five Wretched Dragon in the Five Wretched Mountains! I imagine you have all heard of the Five Wretched Dragon? It is the king of all beasts in the Five Wretched Wilderness. According to my own investigation, it has now become a spirit beast at the peak of late Heaven-Tier, Great Perfection in strength, and has a very good chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Dao! So you must be exceedingly careful!"
