In front of a vast square, ten figures suddenly appeared.
"Is this the secret realm space where the Netherworld Palace is located?"
Lu Qing felt the extrely dense spiritual energy surrounding him, and the distant palace that looked as majestic as a high mountain, deep and pitch black.
In his heart, he understood that this was likely the headquarters of the Netherworld Palace.
Rumor had it that the headquarters of the Netherworld Palace was not within the Heavenly Origin Great World but was located in a secret realm space. Now it seed to be true.
Not long ago, after the trial ended, a pillar of light appeared in front of the cave Lu Qing had temporarily opened.
At the sa ti, a voice erged in his mind, telling him he had passed the trial. By entering the transmission pillar, he could leave the trial space.
This made Lu Qing even more certain that every move of the trialists was under the control of the Netherworld Palace.
However, he did not show it; after confirming there was no problem with the transmission pillar, he stepped inside and directly arrived here.
Lu Qing looked around again and found the other nine people who ca in with him, and a few familiar faces.
The Elephant-Trunked Man, the Holy Daughter of Biluo Palace, and the Daoist of Daoxu Temple were all inside.
Similarly, the Elephant-Trunked Man and the others, who were originally observing the surroundings, trembled all over after seeing Lu Qing.
Especially the Elephant-Trunked Man and the Daoxu Temple Daoist, who showed a hint of awe in their eyes.
Although they knew that this mysterious figure with the ghost face mask would definitely pass the trial.
But seeing him again, they couldn’t help but feel a shock in their heart and spirit.
Having witnessed this person’s strength firsthand, they all knew the vast gap between themselves and Lu Qing.
The Holy Daughter of Biluo Palace showed similarly complex emotions upon seeing Lu Qing.
She had long learned from the Daoxu Temple Daoist about the events of that day.
She understood that she was indeed rescued by this mysterious figure that day, and even that evil demon was slain by him.
While the Holy Daughter of Biluo Palace hesitated whether to step forward to thank Lu Qing.
Suddenly, a figure gradually manifested in front of them, capturing everyone’s attention.
"Congratulations, little ones, you have passed the trial and can beco our Netherworld Palace’s external mbers."
The speaker was a black-robed man wearing a fierce beast mask, whose aura was exceedingly thick and carried a sinister intent, suffocating everyone.
Everyone imdiately felt a chill in their hearts, knowing this person must be at the Primordial Spirit Realm level.
They knew there would be more to co, so they stayed silent, waiting patiently.
Sure enough, the Fierce Beast Masked Man waved his hand, and ten black jade tokens appeared out of thin air, floating before Lu Qing and the others.
"These Netherworld Jade Tokens are your identity credentials. As long as you leave a divine soul mark inside and refine them, you will officially beco external mbers of our Netherworld Palace."
Everyone received the black jade tokens, checked them, and without hesitation left their divine soul marks inside.
Soon, surprise appeared on everyone’s faces.
"It seems you’ve all discovered the peculiarities of the Netherworld Jade Token. Well then, little ones, study them slowly after you leave. Hopefully, we will et again one day."
While the Holy Daughter of Biluo Palace and others were astonished by the information contained within the Netherworld Jade Tokens, the Fierce Beast Masked Man suddenly swept his sleeve.
Then, they all felt a tightening of their bodies, and before understanding what was happening, they were swallowed by a small spatial vortex and disappeared.
Only Lu Qing, holding the jade token, watched the scene cautiously.
Not only because the Holy Daughter of Biluo Palace and the others were suddenly transported away, but also because he noticed that among the ten who passed the trial, only he remained in place, not transported out.
Seeing Lu Qing’s guarded expression, the Fierce Beast Masked Man laughed heartily: "Little one, don’t be nervous. You were kept back because you attained the first place in this trial, as agreed beforehand, we have an additional reward for you."
"A reward?"
Lu Qing naturally rembered the words spoken by the little ghost mask man at the beginning of the trial.
Only he originally thought the reward would be given at a more formal occasion, but unexpectedly, they were to be sent off even before entering the actual Netherworld Palace.
"So this is what external mbers are, truly on the outside," Lu Qing thought to himself.
"Yes, it’s a reward. For being first in this trial, according to our Netherworld Palace’s rules, you can receive a reward. Little one, what do you desire, cultivation technique, magical treasure, or elixir?"
"Can I really choose?"
Lu Qing’s heart stirred, but he did not imdiately choose, instead asking: "Senior, could you tell what level the cultivation technique, magical treasure, and elixir are?"
"Rest assured, the value of the rewards is roughly comparable. As for cultivation techniques, you may choose a Primordial Spirit Realm Technique. If it’s a magical treasure, you can select a top-grade magical treasure; as for elixirs, they are also top-grade spirit pills."
Lu Qing fell into deep thought.
The Fierce Beast Masked Man did not disturb him and quietly waited for him to make a decision.
For past external mber trials, he naturally did not have such patience, nor would give so many choices.
But this boy in front of him was different.
In the mysterious space, having watched Lu Qing’s entire trial process from beginning to end, he was acutely aware of just how extraordinary the boy with the ghost face mask was.
