Chapter 597 Commitment
Then Zhao Hongyuan continued, "That's right! With your cultivation level, it would be difficult to reach Jilei Mountain, and you would die on the way!

Not to mention having to stay in there for three months, which is an even more difficult task!

And this time, there will only be ten places at most in the Wandao Region who can go to the Tianshui Sect and participate in the Tianshui Ceremony!

So you have to think carefully about whether you can stand out among so many cultivators and get a place in Tianzong!"

After Zhao Hongyuan finished speaking this time, the audience became quiet instead. Many people were carefully weighing in their minds whether or not they should try to venture into this high-level secret realm!

But after careful consideration, most people backed off.

After all, most people don't have the courage to risk their lives and property for such a slim chance.

Zhao Hongyuan didn't rush them, he just wanted them to think it over clearly.

He also had a secret mission, which was to try his best to persuade them to retreat. After all, the Wandao Sect didn't want so many people to die in the secret realm.

By the way, you can also conduct the first screening of these monks. Those who are not mentally strong are not worthy of joining your sect!
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Hongyuan spoke again: "The treasure we are looking for this time is called Thunder Fruit, a third-grade top-grade spiritual fruit.

Because its growth requires the irrigation of thunder and lightning, it mainly grows on the top of Jilei Mountain and is guarded by the three-eyed thunder ape clan, a third-level monster.

There are only three Lei Ji Fruit trees in the entire Ji Lei Mountain, so the requirement this time is just to collect three ripe Lei Ji Fruits.

And if you persist for three months and wait until you are automatically excluded from the secret realm, you will be given the opportunity to join the Tianshui Sect!
In the past, the sect’s Purple Mansion Stage disciples who entered this secret realm for trial would have a casualty rate of about 30%.

Not to mention you, ordinary foundation-building cultivators, it is basically a risk of death if you go in.

So I will give you one last chance. Those monks who do not want to participate in this trial can return now by the same route!

As for those monks who want to participate, they just need to stay where they are.

But I would like to make it clear in advance that after entering the secret realm, your life and death are at your own risk. Even if you die, it will have nothing to do with the Wandao Sect.

I will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. If you stay after that time, I will assume that you want to participate in the trial!"

After Zhao Hongyuan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the people below and let them decide their own fate!
At this time, everyone below was boiling with excitement again. They did not expect that this would be the result.

However, most of the monks were able to face the reality, so they left the central square in disappointment!
After a quarter of an hour, there were only about three thousand people left in the square.

With three thousand cultivators competing for ten places to join the Tianshui Sect, you can imagine how intense the competition will be!

And the monks who dare to stay must be very confident in their own strength, and at least they should be quite capable.

Or maybe they were the most elite among the scattered cultivators in the Wandao Domain! But I don’t know how many of them will be able to survive in the end!

Zhao Hongyuan looked at the remaining 3,000 monks, nodded and said, "That's right! All of you who are able to stay are courageous monks.

Only those who dare to fight for that slight chance of success can go further on the path of cultivating immortals.

So I make a promise to you, as long as a cultivator comes out of the Lei Ji Secret Realm alive, even if he has not obtained the Lei Ji Fruit, he can also join the Wandao Sect.

If you can obtain a mature Thunder Fruit, you can directly enter the inner gate of Wandao Sect. If you can obtain two mature Thunder Fruits, the sect will arrange a Jindan cultivator to accept you as a disciple!
So you all have to work hard, I hope you can all come out of the secret realm alive, now everyone board the treasure ship!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a fist-sized blue treasure ship in the air rapidly grew larger.

By the time it landed on the square, it had turned into a huge treasure ship that was almost three hundred feet long and eighty feet wide!

There are also five-story pavilions on the deck of the treasure ship, which seems to be more than enough to accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 monks.

But now is not the time to think about this. Lin Changqing seized the time and followed the flow of people and successfully boarded the treasure ship.

But Zhao Hongyuan did not say anything and allowed them to enter the attic, so no one dared to rush around and everyone stayed on the deck obediently.

At this time, the treasure ship had already started moving and flew directly out of the market town.

Lin Changqing knew that the secret realm should not be too far from here, so he simply found a place in a corner to sit down and rest.

However, not long after he sat down, a middle-aged cultivator in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Period, about 40 or 50 years old, came over to talk to him.

“Excuse me for disturbing you, fellow Daoist. I didn’t expect that you, who looks so young, have already reached the middle stage of foundation building.

And he dared to enter such a dangerous secret realm. I guess he is very confident in his own strength.

But there are only ten places to join the Tianshui Sect this time, so I think the competition will be very fierce.

So I don't know if you are interested in forming an alliance with me. We can support each other and increase the chances of success.

In the worst case scenario, we can help each other and try our best to leave the secret realm alive and join the Wandao Sect. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

This middle-aged cultivator spoke very well, but Lin Changqing guessed that he just wanted to find a cannon fodder who was not as advanced as him and whom he could control.

Moreover, Lin Changqing himself was really powerful and had no intention of forming an alliance with others, so he shook his head and refused decisively!
Seeing that his attitude was so firm, the middle-aged monk did not waste too much time with him.

Hurry up and find other allies immediately!

Later, two or three more groups of people came and wanted to invite Lin Changqing to form an alliance, but he rejected them all. With the Amethyst Scorpion and the God-shaking Cicada, he did not need ordinary allies.

Soon the layout on the deck became clearly defined, with several allied monks staying together.

The number may be as small as two or three monks, or as large as more than ten.

After all, in such a dangerous secret place, everyone wants to unite and resist.

Being able to stay with your allies means greater security, so forming an alliance is still the choice of most people.

Of course, there are some, like Lin Changqing, who are all alone, but after all, these are the minority.
