High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 789

Chapter 789: Chapter 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm
 

“Nine Sounds Realm?” Li Yuan puzzled.

What is this?

“Ha ha, yes! Today we are at the Nine Sound Building, I almost forgot about this,” Jiang Shan laughed. “The Nine Sounds Realm, established by the Nine Sounds True God, is open for three days each year at the Nine Sound Building.”

“The Nine Sounds Realm is also a major feature of the Royal Capital.”

“Essentially, it is a place of trial, used by the Nine Sounds True God to select disciples,” Jiang Shan stated. “Citizens of the Abyss Country, from Flying Heaven Level and Demigods can enter after paying a small amount of Divine Crystals… Flying Heaven Levels who pass the Fifth Realm and Demigods who pass the Eighth Realm will receive a gift.”

“If a Flying Heaven Level can overcome the Sixth Realm and a Demigod can overcome the Ninth Realm, they will not only receive a gift but also have the chance to become disciples of the Nine Sounds True God,” Jiang Shan added.

Become a disciple of a True God? A flicker of surprise crossed through Li Yuan’s eyes.

A great mentor is hard to find.

A True God openly taking disciples is very rare.

“This means, there must be many people attempting it,” Li Yuan whispered.

“Not really,” Baili Teng shook his head. “A thousand years ago, when the Nine Sounds True God established the ‘Nine Sounds Realm’, there were many who tried initially, but with each passing year, fewer people attempted.”

“Why?” Li Yuan puzzled.

“Mainly because of the danger,” Baili Teng explained. “The Nine Sounds True God is actually a Soul Master, hence the Nine Sounds Realm she created specifically targets the Soul Will, not necessarily strength… And when it involves the soul, a minor mistake can lead to death.”

“If one cannot pass even the first three realms, the probability of death is quite high.”

“Therefore, those who dare to attempt are mostly the confident ones.”

“Even so, people occasionally die,” Baili Teng said. “Few can pass the trial, and even fewer become disciples… But for anyone who passes the trial, the gifts are very generous.”

“It’s dangerous for others.”

“But with Brother Xu Yuan’s strength, passing the Fifth Realm should not be difficult,” Baili Teng said. “Then, whether it’s some treasures or the Jue Xing Divine Elixir, it should be easy to obtain…”

“Okay, I’ll think about it,” Li Yuan wasn’t too concerned.

This Nine Sounds Realm sounds a bit dangerous, and I’m not planning on taking a master.

Just for the Jue Xing Divine Elixir, it’s not very meaningful.

“Actually, the most impressive aspect of the Nine Sounds Realm is the tempering of the Soul Will, and the many Illusionary Realms it contains are truly rare,” Jiang Shan said with a laugh. “I will try it myself next year as well, to test myself and see when I can pass the Ninth Realm.”

“Brother Jiang Shan, you’re also attempting?” Li Yuan was surprised.

“Not just him, I will try too,” Baili Teng laughed. “Actually, the top talents of Abyss Country in the Royal Capital, I guess most will give it a try, as a way to temper their Soul Will.”

“Even some other talents from the Divine Kingdoms will make a special trip…”

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

The so-called danger is merely the Nine Sounds True God’s way of filtering out the ordinary Flying Heavens and common Demigods… For the true talents, the probability of death is actually very low.

“In three days, I’ll also give it a try,” Li Yuan immediately changed his mind.

The feast lasted for quite a while.

Baili Teng and Yan Long left respectively; Jiang Shan and Jiang Xuan personally escorted Li Yuan back to the Divine Fire Palace before returning to the Mist Mountain King’s mansion.

…

Inside the Mist Mountain King’s mansion, Jiang Shan dismissed his attendants.

“Little sister, you did very well this time.”

Jiang Shan said, “You went to the Abyss Demon Blood Den, yet you managed to attract such an exceptional talent, I can see that Xu Yuan has quite a fondness for you.”

“Today.”

“We established a friendship before he revealed his strength, which is also good,” Jiang Shan said.

“In the future, the closer you are to Xu Yuan, the better it will be for you, and for our Mist Mountain King lineage,” Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Xuan.

“Big brother,” Jiang Xuan shook her head, “My intention was just to thank Brother Xu. If it weren’t for him, I would have died in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.”

“Good.”

“Having a grateful heart is right,” Jiang Shan smiled. “Tomorrow, bring another gift and visit him.”

Hu!

With a flick of his hand, a jade bottle appeared out of thin air, flying towards Jiang Xuan.

“What is this?”

Jiang Xuan was initially puzzled, took it over, and her expression slightly changed upon scanning it with her Divine Sense: “Jue Xing Divine Elixirs? Are these fifty pieces? Big brother, do you have so many spare Jue Xing Divine Elixirs?”

“For other Demigods, this item is very precious, but for me, giving away dozens is easy,” Jiang Shan shook his head.

“Why didn’t you just give them directly to Brother Xu earlier?” Jiang Xuan couldn’t help asking.

“If I gave them, how would it compare to you giving them?” Jiang Shan shook his head. “I observe that Xu Yuan, while outwardly amiable, is extremely proud at heart; gaining his genuine approval is extremely difficult, and likewise, once he recognizes someone as a good friend… when something arises, he would probably do everything he can to help.”

“You already have a good relationship with him, if you could help him a couple more times, making him feel grateful, the friendship would be unbreakable.”

Jiang Shan gravely continued: “Just like how you treat those servants around you, when you treat them genuinely, they would also go all out to protect you at crucial moments.”

“Big brother, you and I are different, I treat Uncle Guo, Uncle Fang, genuinely from my heart,” Jiang Xuan stared at Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan just smiled, not arguing.

“Big brother, this is too calculating,” Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but say: “That’s the only bad part about you.”

“Sometimes I wonder if you’re also calculating with me,” Jiang Xuan said.

“Silly girl,” Jiang Shan chuckled and shook his head: “Father is already dead, you’re my only family in this world, how could I scheme against you?”

“Alright, the Jue Xing Divine Elixirs are yours.”

“Whether you give them or how you give them, is up to you,” Jiang Shan said, “I still need to enter seclusion for cultivation, you should also go rest.”

“Mm, big brother, I will leave first,” Jiang Xuan bowed and then turned to leave.

Watching Jiang Xuan disappear from sight.
