Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 241 Passed

Time passes quietly like water.

In the blink of an eye, Guan Xun had been cultivating for nearly five days, and the spiritual materials and beast cores in front of her had long been refined and absorbed.

The Myriad Realms were much quieter and more peaceful than they had been a few days earlier, as many people had already reached the exit.

A ground squirrel dragged its furry body up the stone platform, squeaking and swatting at Guan Xun's feet with its paws, looking extremely anxious.

Guan Xun slowly opened her eyes, exhaled a long breath to end her cultivation state, and looked at the withered groundhog patting her, knowing that the time was almost up.

She kidnapped this little thing specifically to tell her the time before she started cultivating, since she almost forgot everything every time she cultivated and would easily miss the designated time.

The withered ground rat gestured anxiously with its claws, urging her to hurry up, as the trial realm was about to close.

Guan Xun stood up, stretched, took out a map of the Myriad Void Realm from his storage ring to identify his location, and then flapped his wings. The resulting gust of wind scattered the crows around him, and even the withered ground rats were swept away.

Immediately, her figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight towards the exit.

The exit of the Myriad Realms is still some distance from Guan Xun's cultivation place, but it's nothing for her current speed. She should be able to arrive in less than an hour.

Along the way, Guan Xun encountered many contestants rushing towards the exit. Judging from their speed, they probably wouldn't make it into the competition.

According to the rules, anyone who has not reached the exit within the seven days that the Void Realm is open and before it closes will be forcibly sent out and disqualified from participating in the competition. At that time, they can only be ordinary spectators.

Guan Xun traveled faster than expected, and in less than an hour, he arrived at the vicinity of the vast plaza built from huge obsidian blocks.

There must have been a barrier set up around the square, because that area was not shrouded in gray fog, and you could clearly see a dense array of figures.

Just to be on the safe side, she folded her wings some distance from the square and hurried on her way like everyone else.

After all, it's quite incredible that humans have wings. If they were captured as monsters, it would be a real problem.

Soon, looking at the huge square right in front of him, Guan Xun relaxed a bit, thankfully without any delay.

She glanced around the room and spotted a few familiar figures.

Zhuge Zhao, as expected of a cheerful young master, was very friendly with everyone he met. Even though Guan Xun was in disguise and they had only met once in the Myriad Realms, he waved to her familiarly and said, "Big sister."

Guan Xun nodded casually, then turned his gaze to Zhuge Yunzheng, who was standing next to him and had been glancing in his direction.

This time, their eyes met, but Zhuge Yunzheng did not look away as she had last time. Instead, she saw his eyes darken and he nodded in a seemingly friendly manner.

Guan Xun sneered inwardly, "Heh, this guy is really good at pretending."

As time went on, more and more participants reached the finish line, but it was still far less than the number of participants who entered at the beginning of the trial.

"boom!"

The sudden sound of drumming signaled the official end of the selection process in the trial realm.

Some latecomers were blocked outside the barrier and could not get in no matter what they did; they could only watch helplessly as they were teleported out.

The air in the square rippled slightly, and another elderly man from Shangju Pavilion appeared in the crowd.

He ignored the noise in the arena, casually glanced at the crowd, and with a flick of his hand, a spatial passage appeared behind him, just like the one he had when he first entered the Trial Realm.

"Give me your list and what you have collected, then enter the arena through this spatial passage."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone stepped forward and handed over the item. The old man checked it and nodded, while the man stepped into the passage space and disappeared from the spot.

With someone taking the lead, the others followed one after another, handing over all their belongings. Of course, there were also some who tried to be clever, bringing things that didn't match their lists in an attempt to pass them off as genuine, but the old man slapped them away with one palm.

Seeing this, the people behind them all behaved themselves and dared not try to be clever anymore.

After Guan Xun took the items out of his storage ring and handed them over, the old man examined them for a moment before saying, "Go in."

She nodded, turned around, and stepped into the spatial passage under everyone's gaze.

……

The arena stretches across the Sacred Edge Altar, so vast that its boundaries are invisible. The ground, walls, and seats are all covered with flowing spiritual light.

The audience seats stretched all the way to the top of the altar, with densely packed figures moving about. Shouts and the buzzing of spiritual energy mingled together, like thunder rolling across the sky, shattering the clouds. The sound waves, wrapped in spiritual energy, echoed in the air.

The audience area was surrounded by a wide and huge competition arena, which was completely empty in the center because the contestants had not yet come out.

As Guan Xun emerged from the passage, he was immediately struck by the cacophony of noise, which made his ears ring.

"Contestants, please go over there and take your seats." Someone responded, pointing to a seating area.

She nodded, and walked over there at a leisurely pace, glancing around as she went.

In addition to the contestants' seats and the regular spectator seats, there are some seats in an area near the top of the Holy Vanguard Altar that are completely different from the regular seats. They appear to be made of obsidian, and guards stand guard next to them.

All the seats were empty at the moment, which meant that the people who were qualified to sit there had not yet arrived. They must be people from the three main halls or the upper pavilion.

Thinking of this, Guan Xun's eyes darkened. People from Shangju Pavilion? He wondered if the so-called Holy Spirit Goddess would come.

After gathering her thoughts, she casually surveyed the surroundings and discovered that the arena was not only enormous but also brimming with spiritual energy.

After silently sighing a few times, she casually found a seat and sat down.

Before long, when the surrounding noise not only didn't subside but actually increased, Guan Xun knew that an important person had arrived.

Several teams of lithe figures clad in golden armor entered in an orderly fashion from the entrance. They marched in step, then dispersed to both sides, standing upright.

In the middle of the passage, a sedan chair carved from jade and inlaid with sparkling diamonds was steadily carried in by four spiritual masters using their spiritual power. The sedan chair was decorated with flowing black patterns and dazzling jade light, and its appearance immediately overshadowed the surrounding noise.

Judging from the style of this sedan chair, it is quite like the kind of sedan chair that women would like.

At this moment, some people in the audience exclaimed in surprise, "Who is this person with such a posture?"

"They must be from the Three Great Halls."

They all curiously peered over.

As the sedan curtain was lifted, a woman dressed in a purple dress with gold trim slowly stepped out. Her eyes sparkled, and her natural charm captivated everyone around her.
