The Trial Ends
Several months later, the trial finally came to an end.
However, it is precisely at this time that we cannot let our guard down. After all, everyone has fought their way up from beginning to end to accumulate their current wealth. If it is all looted at this last moment, it would be incredibly distressing.
However, Shen Ge wasn't too worried. After all, they had made a name for themselves over the past few months, and no one would be foolish enough to cause them trouble. So, he just needed to wait for the teleportation.
"Sigh, this trip might cause a little trouble, so be careful," Li Xue gently reminded her.
Shen Ge understood what she meant. Ever since he broke the Heavenly Sword Sect's Heaven and Earth One Sword, he knew that trouble would definitely come knocking on his door this time, so he was mentally prepared.
"But don't worry too much, I'll protect you once we get out, you'll be fine."
"I didn't notice. Why has your tone become so arrogant?" Shen Ge joked. "Did you take a top-tier expert as your master? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so confident."
"You wouldn't know him even if I told you," Li Xue said calmly. "My master is known as the most proficient master of formations in the entire Heavenly Desolation Domain."
It's unbelievable! There's a hint of arrogance on her face. For a woman who's lived for almost three hundred years to still have such an expression is really an eyesore.
Shen Ge mentally complained, but his face remained completely expressionless.
Soon, the time was up, the trial ended, and everyone still alive in the entire secret realm was teleported out.
Outside, the light and shadow screen that had originally displayed the image now showed the top 100 rankings of the two trials.
A quick glance revealed that the disciple from the Extreme Dao Immortal Sect with the most points in the Nascent Soul Realm was named Dao Jin, with a total of 31,257,540, nearly 31.26 million. Considering that a single Purple Jade only costs 10,000 points, this meant that guy must have at least 3,000 Purple Jades on him. It was unclear whether he had stolen them himself or pooled them together with his fellow disciples.
Continuing to scroll down, Shen Ge saw two familiar names.
"Ye Xingchen, from the Myriad Stars Sect, ranked seventh, with 20 million points."
"Zhu Xiu, from the Snow Moon Zhu Household, ranked tenth, with 18,790,000 points."
As for why Ye Xingchen was so highly regarded, Shen Ge had no doubt. After all, he was the chosen one, so wouldn't luck simply pour in on him?
However, this "chosen one" title seems a bit questionable; he's not actually number one.
As for Zhu Xiu, Shen Ge wasn't too surprised that he had such a high score. In fact, he thought Zhu Xiu was just unlucky. After all, he had been fighting his way through the entire competition and was quite powerful. If he had been lucky, he probably would have scored over 20 million.
He continued scanning downwards and soon saw his name, though not his real name.
"Shen Linfeng, Rogue Cultivator, ranked seventeenth, with over thirteen million points..."
Keep in mind that he only managed to snatch so much with Li Xue's help. Otherwise, if he were on his own, he probably wouldn't even make five million if he was unlucky, and with good luck, he might only get a little over eight million at most.
There's no way around it; while combat strength is important in this trial, luck is equally crucial. And well, this time, Lady Luck isn't on Shen Ge's side.
The remaining people's scores were basically not that different. For example, Zi Huang had 12.95 million points, which was not much less than Shen Ge's, but she was ranked 40th.
As for those who didn't make the list, quite a few of them have tens of millions of points, but they are still a little bit behind the top fifty.
After scanning the Nascent Soul Realm rankings, Shen Ge glanced at the Spirit Severing Realm rankings. The first place only had a little over 17 million, which was far behind the Nascent Soul Realm. However, this was normal, since the battles in the Spirit Severing Realm were much more terrifying.
That person came from the Windwhisper Pavilion, and his strength had already reached the Spirit Severing Middle Stage.
At this moment, Venerable Thunder Sea had appeared earlier, stepped forward. "This trial is now over. Everyone, I won't waste any more words. Let's get straight to the rewards."
"First, on the Nascent Soul side, the number one spot Dao Jin of the Extreme Dao Immortal Sect..."
Dao Jin forward, bowed to the Venerable Thunder Sea, but remained silent.
"Do you want an entry ticket to the Realm of the Myriad Spirits Realm, or something else?"
"Admission ticket, Your Excellency, I want this."
"Okay, next one."
The next four people faced the same question, but without exception, they all chose the entry qualification to the Myriad Spirits Realm.
Shen Ge didn't know anything about this Myriad Spirits Realm; he had never heard of it. But that didn't rule out the possibility that it was a good place, otherwise they wouldn't all want this entry qualification.
However, starting with the reward for sixth place, Shen Ge became somewhat disappointed, because the Venerable One no longer offered the option of the Myriad Spirits Realm, but instead directly gave out the reward.
Cultivation Method, materials, pills, and Law Treasure were distributed one after another, and soon it was Shen Ge's turn.
Looking at the figure below, Venerable Thunder Sea smiled meaningfully, then sent out Shen Ge's reward, along with a telepathic message.
"Young man, our Azure Origin has a teleportation array that leads to the Heaven's Edge Domain. If you want to leave this place, you can come find me at the Azure Origin Palace."
Shen Ge accepted the bottle of Dao pills, and at the same time, bowed discreetly, saying, "Thank you, Senior."
Soon, all the rewards from both sides were distributed, and then it was time to redeem the points. A light and shadow appeared on the previous trial token, containing all sorts of items with clearly marked prices, and there was also a limit to the number of times one could redeem them.
As Shen Ge flipped through the pages, he said to Li Xue, "Keep an eye out for these. Let me know if you find anything you're interested in."
Soon, Shen Ge found the book "Record of Exotic Beasts" and quickly placed an order to redeem it. Fortunately, the book wasn't very expensive, costing only five million points.
Then Shen Ge began searching through the Phoenix's tail feathers.
In another corner, Qingyu was furious at the black icon displayed on the token, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, someone actually dared to try and snatch this damn book from me! Enough already! Ever since I came to this secret realm, I haven't had a single smooth moment."
Although he was venting, he was quick on his feet and soon found the next item he urgently needed. Fortunately, this time the item was still in stock. Just as he was about to redeem it, the icon suddenly went black.
Qingyu was stunned for a moment. After a long while, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, as if countless curses wanted to burst out of his mouth.
"Damn it!"
Each tail feather costs seven million, and there are only five in total. Shen Ge was lucky enough to snag the last one.
After choosing these two options, Shen Ge's points dwindled to just over three million. He could forget about getting the True Dragon Blood; it simply wasn't enough.
Since it wasn't enough, Shen Ge stopped looking and simply tossed the token to Li Xue so she could choose.
