Monarch Of Time

Chapter 140 - 140 A pair of fishermen

Shun Long fell in contemplation for a while, after hearing Liu Meiʼs question, before he finally answered

ʼʼI wasnʼt planning to stay in the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ forever, so, leaving the sect after exiting the ʼVermilion realmʼ isnʼt such a bad choice then.ʼʼ

What Shun Long had said was the truth. After all, he was still planning to find out more things about the ʼStone of Timeʼ, visit the ʼRuins of the Universeʼ, and become strong enough to protect himself and his parents. He also had to learn more about little Blackʼs origins, so he wasnʼt planning to stay in the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ for the rest of his life.

Liu Mei felt happy when she heard Shun Longʼs answer, as she then continued

ʼʼThen, why donʼt you also come to the Silver sword city?ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs eyes betrayed his puzzlement as he looked at Liu Mei, since he had never heard of the name Silver sword city before.

Liu Mei understood that Shun Long must not know about the internal secrets of the Kingʼs realm, as she then said

ʼʼAh, let me explain what I know first.

There are actually 2 ways to leave the ʼVermilion realmʼ.

The first, is the normal way, where you just have to wait for 3 months to pass. 3 months after everyone has entered the ʼVermilion realmʼ, a teleportation array will force us to return back to the Lightning Wasteland.

The second way however, requires one to have passed the second trial. After we pass the second trial, the overseer of the Kingʼs palace will allow us to choose, if we want to stay in the Desolate east, or... if we wish to go to the Silver sword city of the Night star continent.

Both the ʼGolden Buddha templeʼ, as well as the Snowcloud country where Yang Gongsun is from, are actually located in the Night star continent as well, while the ʼGolden Buddha templeʼ here, is said to be just a branch of the actual temple.

The Night star continent is actually located very close to our Desolate east, and even experts at the Nascent Soul realm are not rare there.

...But as for why the overseer would choose to send us in the Silver sword city... I donʼt know that.ʼʼ

After listing everything that she knew about the Kingʼs palace, Liu Mei looked at Shun Long who was still digesting all this information.

ʼʼThank you.

I still have to consider the matter about that Silver sword city for some more, but before that, we still need to kill 2 rank 3 magic beasts to pass the second trial.ʼʼ

Liu Mei felt her cheeks reddening after seeing Shun Longʼs smile when she nodded her head. Indeed, Shun Long couldnʼt just decide to leave the Desolate east on the spot.

Then, with a serious look on her face she said

ʼʼThatʼs why Liu Changpun had ordered everyone to gather in the central region.

I believe that he has already passed the second trial long ago. After all, his aim is to get the legacy inside the Kingʼs palace, so, passing the second trial earlier gives him more time to fully focus on the third trial.ʼʼ

Just as Liu Mei finished her words, tremors sounded from the top of the mountain, while the cave that the 2 of them were in seemed as if it was on the verge of collapse.

Shun Long and Liu Mei quickly rushed out of the cave, as they turned their heads to look at the top of the mountain.

2 magic beasts seemed to be fighting, and based on the destructive power that they were exhibiting, it was clear that they werenʼt simple early rank 3 magic beasts.

After they reached closer to the mountainʼs peak, Shun Long immediately understood what was happening.

In the world of magic beasts, there were certain beasts that were natural enemies, one example of which was the ʼiron-winged eagleʼ and the ʼearth bearʼ that Shun Long had seen in the Demonic Mountain region.

Once they started fighting, these magic beasts usually wouldnʼt stop until one of them was dead.

The scene in front of him now was another such example, as a middle rank 3 ʼIce hawkʼ was fighting with a middle rank 3 ʼDemonic spiderʼ.

Looking at the 2 magic beasts that were fighting with reckless abandon, unwilling to rest until the other one was down, Shun Longʼs eyes shone as he gestured at Liu Mei to be silent.

Liu Meiʼs eyes widened as she understood what Shun Long wanted to do and whispered

ʼʼIs it really possible to act as the fishermen on 2 middle rank 3 magic beasts?ʼʼ

It wasnʼt that Liu Mei didnʼt believe in Shun Long, as she had already seen his strength when he had killed the 3 disciples of the Poison Hall.

But even an early rank 3 magic beast could also kill Su Honghui and his 2 brothers, let alone a middle stage one.

Shun Long smiled as he heard Liu Meiʼs question and said

ʼʼBefore entering the second trial, that ethereal voice had said, that this trial wouldnʼt only test oneʼs power, but also their scheming ability as well as their perceptiveness.

If there was no other way to pass the second trial aside from banding together, then wouldnʼt those like Liu Changpun who got help from their sect members, be the only ones who pass through it?ʼʼ

Liu Mei looked as if she had just understood a critical point that she had previously missed regarding this trial.

Right! The second trial also tests oneʼs perceptiveness.

After all, it was common knowledge that average magic beasts, could usually dominate cultivators who were at the same level as them, so how could those disciples who were still at the peak of rank 3 in Heaven grade or lower, kill magic beasts at the early rank 3 or even higher?
