Chapter 623: Chapter 494: Tian Shou Mountain, Unknown Realm Intrusion

(Correction: In the previous chapter, 5 billion was spent to strengthen Ghost Dome King, enhancing it to Ninth Rank Second Stage.

The Demon Tree Warrior has successfully reached the Ninth Rank when Chu Mu left the Di Sheng Domain, and now it is at the Ninth Rank Second Stage. The previous chapter had a mistake and has been corrected.)

Eighth Realm, Tian Shou Mountain.

There are only a few specific places in the Eighth Realm for the advancement challenge. In this section, there will be countless experts colliding. Presumably, more fierce battles will erupt on this Tian Shou Mountain.

Tian Shou Mountain is not a Mysterious Realm; it is a towering rocky mountain located north of World City. This giant mountain is 5,000 meters high and has a vast base. Many retired old Soul Pet Masters in the Soul Pet Field would purposely reside in some places on Tian Shou Mountain.

Tian Shou Mountain is famous for its Tian Shou Mountain Hot Spring. During the rainy season, you can see Tian Shou Mountain’s flying springs falling down, shrouded in mist, like several white flood dragons entwining.

The entire mountain is complex and varied, with mountain pools, valleys, narrow paths, caverns, plank roads, unique peaks, cliffs, and broken walls…

It’s said that some rare soul pets inhabit the mountain. These soul pets are not easily detected by Soul Pet Masters. Even though they live in a mountain frequented by humans, no one knows their whereabouts.

Tian Shou Mountain is divided into four parts: East, West, South, and North. Each part is separated by incredibly hard rock barriers and high peaks. Unless one climbs to the top of Tian Shou Mountain and then crosses over, it’s tough to connect with the other areas.

There is a location on the East Mountain of Tian Shou Mountain designed for the second-tier challenge. East Mountain is a complex part of Tian Shou Mountain. This mountainside is like an enormous evil dragon lying on the farthest eastern side of the World City. With its long dragon ridge and tail extending far east into the continent, it spans at least tens of kilometers.

After Tian Shou Mountain was chosen as the location for the Eighth Realm challenge, it had been completely sealed off by game organizers, and due to the events in the Seventh Realm crossover challenge, the organizer had added more staff this time. They even dispatched a large number of personnel riding Winged Soul Pets to patrol various locations of Tian Shou Mountain to prevent any non-competitor from entering the race.

Before the game began, the organizer also assigned a large number of people to sweep the entire Tian Shou Mountain to ensure there were no hidden people in the mountain to disrupt the race’s balance.

With everything ready, Tian Shou Mountain became a forbidden area until the beginning of the Eighth Realm when game organizers allowed contestants to enter Tian Shou Mountain.

…

Chu Mu was struggling to find the answer for several days. Even three days before the Eighth Realm Challenge began, the game organizers still hadn’t stated what the contestants were supposed to do on Tian Shou Mountain, and how to be considered successful in the challenge.

“What they’re doing is equivalent to providing all contestants with a large hunting ground, and then letting the contestants fight each other in this big hunting ground…” Ye Wansheng expressed his opinion.

“Impossible, the game organizer wouldn’t be so cruel. If it were like this, many people would die,” Ye Qingzi said.

Chu Mu couldn’t find the reason for the matter himself. The day after tomorrow would be the game’s starting time. If no clear goal were given, this advancement challenge would be confusing, with no direction at all.

…

Time passed quickly.

At last, the Eighth Realm Challenge began.

The contestants who successfully passed the seventh realm were assigned to different zones by the game organizers according to the difficulty levels they selected.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi both selected the second-tier difficulty, so Chu Mu quickly followed the other Soul Hall contestants to the east of Tian Shou Mountain under the guidance of competition organizers.

Before entering Tian Shou Mountain, the game organizers gave each contestant a special medicine bottle that could emit a unique smell.

Upon opening the bottle, the closest competition organizer would arrive within five minutes and escort the contestant off the mountain, signaling their withdrawal from the competition.

“This item was given to each participant by the organizers, this eighth realm’s trials must be quite dangerous.” Ye Qingzi placed the medicine bottle into her Space Ring and whispered to Chu Mu.

“The race organizers are playing mysterious games.” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu and the other competing contestants were unsure of what the organizers were up to, and no matter what they inquired, the organizers provided no information. They just instructed the contestants to enter the mountain and nothing more…

“In the past, the mortality rate of the eighth realm was extremely high. In one edition, the mortality and elimination rate was 2 to 1, meaning that if you fail to pass the trial, there’s a 50% chance of you dying.” Fang Ze, the Young Master of the Soul Hall, looked at Chu Mu and said with a gentle smile.

“How can the organizers hold such a cruel competition?” Ting Lan asked, shocked.

“It’s not strange. The World Decree has always been cruel. If you’re afraid of death, just open the medicine bottle early and withdraw from the competition…” Li Zhan from the Soul Hall leaned against a rock with arms crossed and said indifferently.

Li Zhan was also a cross-boundary contestant during the seventh realm and was one of the most honored contestants there.

In the past, Li Zhan’s strength had never been revealed until his name appeared on the seventh realm’s World Ranking list. Many people were amazed, as the Soul Hall still had such a powerful second-tier expert concealed.

“So, do you know how we can succeed in this realm, is it true that they want us to fight each other to the death?” Chu Mu asked.

Fang Ze, the Young Master of the Soul Hall, was the strongest among the half of the second-tier young experts who were in this realm.

Other contestants included an explosively strong Li Hen, whose full strength was gradually revealed – Ting Lan, and four young experts whom Chu Mu had never seen before.

Chu Mu didn’t know any of these four young experts, but their names had appeared in the titles of the previous realms. They were clearly hidden experts.

Many top contestants from the Soul Hall, like Zhao Cheng and Zhan Hong, were eliminated during the seventh realm. Those who managed to enter the eighth realm were undoubtedly one in a hundred or even one in a thousand young warriors!

There were a total of 20 contestants from the Soul Hall participating in the eighth realm. This indicated that the number of contestants in the eighth realm had decreased significantly. Only the best of the best young warriors were able to make it this far!

“The eighth realm has always been like this. The organizers won’t tell the contestants how to succeed; the contestants must find their way in the environment themselves. This tests the overall qualities of the contestants, not just strength in soul pets. Some contestants who lack inspiration think that the organizers want them to kill each other in this hunting ground… What do you think, Young Master Fang Ze?” Li Zhan said provocatively.

“Face what may come; there’s nothing to worry about.” The Eighth Young Master, Fang Ze, seemed careless and relaxed. (To be continued. If you like this work, Welcome to Qidian () to vote for the recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest driving force.)
