Chapter 7 The Proving Ground

The next day, Taiwei arrived at the square in the center of the city early.

According to the information he learned, every time the gate is opened at the first level and monks are allowed to enter, a trial field will be opened the next day.

There are already many people waiting here, not only the new monks who arrived yesterday, but also people who were already in the city.

On the high platform of the square, sitting with a big horse and a golden sword, is a man wearing iron clothes, who is very powerful. This is the sergeant commander who guards this city.

"Monks who want to enter the trial site need to hand over a holy weapon or resources equivalent to a holy weapon to be eligible to enter once!" A soldier shouted from below.

Upon hearing this, the monks who were originally in the city stepped forward to hand over their resources and obtain the qualifications to enter.

And some new monks looked dissatisfied and complained: "Isn't this a trial place for the human race? Why do we still charge a fee?"

The soldier was not angry and explained:

"Now is not the era of competition between emperors and roads. At that time, we will naturally let go of everything and train the geniuses of the human race for free. However, it is not impossible to prove the Tao now. The operation of the ancient roads also requires resources to maintain, and it is impossible to open it without restrictions. In fact,

Yes, even if the descendants of the city lord want to enter the trial site, they must pay a price according to the rules!"

He looked at the new monk in front of him and invited him warmly:

"If you don't have enough resources, don't be disappointed. You can join us. You only need to serve for a period of time or achieve military exploits, and you will get the opportunity to enter the trial ground."

Taiwei followed the crowd and stepped forward, took out a holy weapon and handed it to the monk who received the resources.

The holy weapon he used to hand over was just an ordinary item that he had captured before, not a legendary holy weapon.

In terms of the intensity of the wars on the ancient roads of the human race, there is not much difference between ordinary holy soldiers and legendary holy soldiers. If the saints are armed and participate in the war, they may be defeated in one or two battles!

Wait until all the monks who arrive either hand over resources to obtain qualifications, decide to join the army, or leave with hesitant expressions.

In the end, only a few hundred qualified trialists were left here.

Suddenly, a long horn sounded, vast and distant, as if it came from ancient times, like the cry of the ancestors of the ancient human race.

Every monk who was qualified for the trial stood up and gathered silently.

On the high platform, the commander in iron clothes stood up with a violent momentum, and his eyes were as bright as the sun, which could sting others' eyes.

"This is the clarion call of the ancestors of the human race when they opened up the universe and fought in the frontier areas. You all should listen to me!" His tone was extremely stern.

The ancient horn was still sounding, and the wild atmosphere hit my face, as if I had entered a primitive world where ferocious birds and beasts were rampant and extremely harsh.

When the horn sound stopped, the leader spoke: "There is only one purpose for entering the trial field today, which is to obtain the secret of the great road of that world. If you think you do not have this understanding, you can still withdraw now, and the things you handed in can be returned, so as not to waste yourself.

H!"

It was quiet for a while, and no one spoke to exit.

The commander nodded, "I will lead you on the road, follow me!" He held a big flag in one hand and strode to the center of the square.

Behind him, followed twenty soldiers, with simple armor and cold iron clothes, each holding a long halberd, iron sword, etc., full of murderous intent.

Each of them is very serious and will send everyone on the road together with the leader to enter the trial field.

A bolt of lightning flashed across, the void split open, and a special altar appeared above the square. It was so huge that it was not crowded when everyone stood on it.

None of the trialists spoke, and the leader chanted ancient syllables, actually activating the teleportation array with a spell.

"boom!"

A huge beam of light shot out, penetrating the universe, tearing open a wide space channel, leading to the unknown other shore.

"Hit the road!"

The divine warriors were the first to enter the space passage like a general, followed closely by the trialists, and finally twenty soldiers pressed the formation.

This is a special ancient road. I don’t know which star field it leads to. People feel that time is chaotic, as if a hundred years have passed in an instant, or as if an eternity has rushed by.

Occasionally, the walls of the passage become transparent, and one can see one star field after another being left behind. They penetrated the universe and arrived at an extremely distant place.

I don’t know how long it took, but everyone was shocked and rushed out of the passage, entering the cold universe and reaching the end.

The stars were shining brightly, and they were as holy as water. They were far away from the first city of the human race, and there were countless star fields between them.

Someone exclaimed. Just ahead, there is a huge island. It is not a star or a meteorite, but a mysterious giant island. This is the first trial place for the ancient road of the human race - the Holy Island of Death!

It is more majestic than an ancient star, with an aura of eternal vicissitudes. It has gone through countless catastrophes, and it stands here, leaving endless legends to future generations.

"This island is the place where the ancestors of the human race fought bloody battles. I don't know how many supreme masters have perished. After you enter, you need to realize the supreme road that will never change. Without this understanding, your resources will be ruined."

It’s all in vain!”

Obviously, this is an ancient island with a story. It is said to have originated in the mythical age. It has passed through the vicissitudes of time, and now only fragments of legends remain.

Its shape is very irregular, very different from the stars in the universe, and it should not exist at all. However, it has never been destroyed and has existed to this day.

The mysterious ancient island tells the story of the vicissitudes of eternity. Time flies, and the years are like knives, carving mottled ancient marks on it.

In the cold universe, the stars were shining, and hundreds of trialists followed the leader of the first city of the human race and came to the shore of the giant island.

"The trial field will be opened, and the road that belongs to you will begin. It depends on you how far you can go in the future!" the commander said calmly.

"Ouch..."

A huge roar came. It was a mental shock, as violent as the sea, and as boiling as the tide. It came from the wild mountains on the island. It was obviously a peerless beast.

Many people's expressions changed slightly. There may be holy beasts on this island. Coming here is not just about comprehending the great road. If you are not careful, you may become food for ferocious beasts.

The Holy Death Island is huge enough. The leader explained to everyone that the outside is divided into forty-nine areas. If the central forbidden area is included, then there are fifty areas.

He warned: "The central forbidden area is a place of death. Compared to most of you, the people there are invincible! If you want to live a long time, don't provoke others."

There are mysterious barriers between the forty-nine areas, which are difficult to break. Once you choose an area and go deep into it, it will be difficult to cross the boundary. Otherwise, if you break the barrier, you will bear the seal of millions of pounds of shackles.

Everyone listened quietly. This should be a restriction set up to protect many monks and prevent them from killing each other. With millions of kilograms of shackles on them, if they meet a strong man of the same level, they will almost certainly die!

This means no fighting across borders.

"In this era, there is no dispute between the great ways. I hope you will not kill each other!" The leader finally persuaded, not wanting the human race's power to be consumed internally.
