The Blood Essence Pool, just like the Heavenly Sword Pool of the Heavenly Sword Faction, is an excellent cultivation sanctuary.
In a general bet, how could entering the Blood Essence Pool for a month of cultivation be so easily offered?
However, Xie Chenkun's demand wasn't outrageous, after all, Zhou Taiping was asking for his prized Spirit Sword.
"Hah?"
Zhou Taiping raised his eyebrows upon hearing Xie Chenkun's words, looking at him with a surprised expression, "You sure have the nerve."
Xie Chenkun chuckled softly, "If you dare to target my Spirit Sword, why shouldn't I target the Blood Essence Pool? Or, you can offer a different condition, how about winning a month in our Heavenly Sword Pool for cultivation?"
He thought, if Zhou Taiping truly agreed with him, it would be ideal.
Currently, the Heavenly Sword Pool is dry, and it would take at least three years to restore it to its original state.
Even if an unexpected result at the Four Sect Martial Competition occurs and Mu Jinyu doesn't win the championship, the bet could be postponed for three years before returning it to Zhou Taiping, making them furious!
However, Zhou Taiping had no interest in the Heavenly Sword Pool, as it contained Sword Qi and Sword Intent, which held no significance to the disciples of the Blood Sword Sect.
What he wanted the most was Xie Chenkun's Spirit Sword, which was made from rare divine ore. He intended to win it, lt it down, and refine it into a Spirit Blade for Naless!
Zhou Taiping was very confident that if Yun Ge didn't reach the Fanxu Realm, he would have no chance of winning, so he wasn't too concerned about the bet's stakes.
"Fine, the Heavenly Sword Pool is aningless, let's go with this bet, I agree!"
Zhou Taiping didn't hesitate much and agreed.
"Good, good, good…" Xie Chenkun smiled with squinted eyes upon hearing this.
Zhou Taiping also let out a sinister laugh.
Both harbored sches in their hearts, each thinking they had a trump card, completely unafraid of losing!
After that, they looked at the sect leaders of Beixue Mountain Villa and Liuyun Sect, asking, "Do you want to place a bet as well?"
The Beixue Mountain Villa sect leader instantly refused with a sullen face upon hearing this.
Lin Tianxue had already been crushed by Di Shitian during the Blood Sword Sect's entrance test "Sword Mountain Fiery Sea," so how could he still hope for Beixue Mountain Villa to win the championship?
However, Liuyun Sect's sect leader, Fang Xiuyuan, due to his confidence in Di Shitian and a desire to build good relations with the other three sects, aiming to join the ranks of the Yan Kingdom's Four Great Sects, didn't hesitate too much and also offered a Spirit Treasure to the bet!
"In that case, let's sign and seal the agreent!"
As soon as Zhou Taiping saw Fang Xiuyuan agreeing, he eagerly took out a contract and began writing down the bet and stakes, then signed his na and fingerprint at the end.
Once this contract is signed, no one can easily back out. Failing to adhere to the agreent would result in a miserable death.
In the Kunlun Ruins, no one dares to violate the contract once it's signed!
Xie Chenkun remained confident and composed, believing that Mu Jinyu, equally at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, could effortlessly defeat Naless. He signed his na and sealed his fingerprint without hesitation.
However, Fang Xiuyuan, when it ca down to it, felt a bit unsure about Di Shitian, but he didn't dare to back out and offend Xie Chenkun and Zhou Taiping.
After all, a Spirit Treasure wasn't a significant loss for soone with a considerable family fortune.
So, he finally signed his na and sealed his fingerprint as well!
With the signatures and seals of the three, the contract took effect. A dark light flashed, and the contract was divided into three parts, distributed to Xie Chenkun, Zhou Taiping, and Fang Xiuyuan.
Xie Chenkun put away his part of the contract with a satisfied smile and said, "It's about ti to start the Sword Mountain Fiery Sea Trial, soon you'll witness the prowess of my new disciple!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped paying attention to the bet and kept their eyes on the Water Screen Mysterious Light Mirror on the stage, eager to see how impressive Xie Chenkun's new disciple was to rit such a large bet.
...
Outside the entrance of the Blood Sword Sect.
Mu Jinyu was unaware that the sect leader had placed high hopes on him and had made a bet.
After warming up a bit, he waited to see how the Sword Mountain Fiery Sea Trial would begin.
"Alright, we're ready to go in!"
At this ti, Yun Ge, ready and confident, addressed the crowd loudly, "I know so of you have been to the Blood Sword Sect and have gone through the Sword Mountain Fiery Sea Trial, while so have recently entered the Inner Gate and haven't been here before, so I'll give everyone a reminder."
"The Sword Mountain Fiery Sea tests the challenger's mindset, comprehension, and aptitude. Everything you see inside is an illusion, but you cannot ignore them, because if you are scared out of your wits, you won't die, but you will beco a complete cripple!"
"..."
After Yun Ge reminded everyone how to face the illusions in the Sword Mountain Fiery Sea, he was the first to head towards the enormous blood-red entrance!
"Buzz!"
Inside the blood-colored entrance, an invisible light screen was hidden. Yun Ge disappeared into it without coming out the other side, as if entering a different space.
Wei Ziping gave a cold glance at the curious Mu Jinyu and snorted before being the second to enter.
Afterward, Wei Qingfeng and others didn't enter imdiately but looked at Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu, seeing this, smiled and shook his head, then led Jian Ruyan into the entrance.
He didn't care about who went first or last, but since they showed courtesy, he decided it didn't matter to go in earlier.
"Buzz!"
After passing through an invisible screen, Mu Jinyu felt a brief sense of weightlessness and dizziness.
Shaking off this strong discomfort, he looked around.
There were no signs of Yun Ge and Wei Ziping ahead, nor was there any trace of Jian Ruyan who had entered with him.
In this vast and lonely world, only he stood alone!
Not seeing them, Mu Jinyu didn't worry about them, knowing he had to get through the Sword Mountain Fiery Sea alone. He then looked ahead. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoveI★Fire
He found himself seemingly back at the foot of the Blood Sword Sect's mountain, with a majestic peak ahead of him.
But unlike the mountain he had walked before, this one was filled with blades piercing the ground everywhere, leaving no gaps for ticulous foot placent. Climbing this mountain could only be done by stepping on those sharp blades!
"Ascending Blade Mountain, huh?!"
Looking at this Blade Mountain, Mu Jinyu understood why it was called Sword Mountain Fiery Sea.
There was no fear in his eyes, only anticipation and excitent. He then took a step, testing if he could fly.
As expected, a Sky Restriction Array and Spirit Restriction Array were in place. Here, challengers could not fly or use True Yuan, nearly reduced to ordinary people, only relying on their fleshly feet to tread on the blades to climb!
