Martial God Asura

Chapter 6635: Trial Formation

“Yes, Yun Ao is the ideal person to bring along then.”

Cang Li heaved a sigh. “Haa~ I remember the days we conquered the Ancient Era’s races under Lord Netherworld Master’s leadership. We were united as one. It’s truly a pity that the Netherworld Sect is no longer the same as it was before. Too many people have changed. Only a handful of people like you and Yun Ao still preserve their spirit from back then.

“Baili Xukong revered Lord Netherworld Master so much back then, but now, all he wants is to claim the seat of the Netherworld Master. If he learns that Chu Feng is the Netherworld Master’s descendant, he might just assassinate Chu Feng.

“I should have discussed this matter with everyone, but I confided only in you because I’m worried that the others might harbor ulterior motives. They might get so ahead of themselves that they will stop me from even verifying this matter.”

“I think it is wise that you only confided in me, Lord Cang Li. Baili Xukong will surely do everything possible to stop you. Even if we verify that Chu Feng is Lord Netherworld Master’s descendant, there is no saying that he might do something disrespectful to Lord Netherworld Master,” Dongfang Hansong said.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. I do hope that Chu Feng is Lord Netherworld Master’s descendant so that our Netherworld Sect will finally have a leader,” Cang Li said.

“Rest assured, Lord Cang Li. This matter isn’t too hard. You can leave it to me.”

Dongfang Hansong took the jade bottle before bowing deeply to Cang Li. Then, he took his leave, found Yun Ao, and took him to the Ancestral Martial Galaxy.

In truth, he knew that not even Cang Li could cover for him if he left at this critical juncture, but he still did so without hesitation.

...

Meanwhile, Chu Feng was still confused as to what the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Saint-tier elders were up to, but he was more confident now that he had experts like Little Fishy and Fei on his side.

In fact, he was recruiting more members into the Chu Clan Alliance.

His true goal, however, was to lure the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion into attacking him; bringing in new members was just a plus.

But despite their brazen recruitment, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion didn’t respond at all.

...

Days later, Chu Feng was cultivating when Long Mucheng knocked on his door.

“Chu Feng, the Chu Clan Alliance has taken in some new members. These members have been put through a series of trials and should be reliable, but ultimately, the Chu Clan Alliance was founded for you. We’re hoping that you can decide whether those people are qualified to join us. Do you want to take a look?” Long Mucheng asked.

“I have no qualms about recruiting new members, but our current members are a tight-knit group who have braved death together. I don’t know much about the recruits, but I suspect most aren’t interested in fighting with us or bringing down the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Instead, they are hoping to profit from this situation. Those people can’t be relied on. We should filter them out,” Chu Feng said.

“I agree, but the most difficult thing to read in the world is a person’s heart. It’s only through tribulations that we know what they truly think,” Long Mucheng replied.

“A formation can do the job.”

“Ah! I nearly forgot you’re a master world spiritist. Most people can’t see through your formation, not to mention we don’t lack world spiritists now. We have plenty of recruits, so it might take some work to filter them. I’ll tell them to wait until the formation is ready before holding the final trial,” Long Mucheng said.

“I have told Ling Xiao and the others to prepare the formation. It is ready,” Chu Feng replied as he took out a formation.

This formation was constructed by Ling Xiao, his grandfather, and the other world spiritists. However, the formation blueprint was from Chu Feng, so he could activate it with ease.

“You’re meticulous!” Long Mucheng was delighted to see the delicate formation floating above Chu Feng’s palm.

“Elder, if you don’t mind, you can use this formation on the recruits. Those who clear the trial can become one of us,” Chu Feng said.

“Of course I don’t mind. Other than the recruits, all of us from the Chu Clan Alliance owe our lives to you. We’ll heed your command. We won’t hesitate even if you ask us to march to our deaths,” Long Mucheng said with a grin.

Even though she was now a rank five Heavenly God, she didn’t put on airs in front of Chu Feng.

“All right. Let’s see how many are qualified to join us,” Chu Feng said.

...

Long Mucheng had gathered all potential recruits for the Chu Clan Alliance into a single realm. All in all, there were more than three billion people.

That was not many people compared to the vastness of the world of cultivation. Even a smaller Lower Realm would have more people than that.

However, this was still an impressive number considering the strict recruitment conditions.

One, the recruits must have the guts to stand against the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion and the Netherworld Sect.

Two, they must have the ability to travel to the Ancestral Martial Galaxy.

Three, they must clear the prior trials.

Three billion people had cleared these requirements to join the Chu Clan Alliance. This showed the impressive rallying power of the Chu Clan Alliance.

These people were going to face their final trial now. If they cleared it, they would be accepted as members of the Chu Clan Alliance.

Long Mucheng appeared in the sky together with the Dragon Breath Clansmen. She grandly announced the content of the final trial—the recruits would be accompanying them to ambush a Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s secret base.

This secret base was located in the very realm where they were standing, which was why they were gathered here. The secret base was guarded by not just the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s experts but several Saint-tier elders as well.

It was going to be a tough battle.

The recruits wouldn’t have to fight on the frontline, but they shouldered the important responsibility of channeling a formation. If the ambush failed, they would lose their lives as well.

Those who were afraid could still back off, since they weren’t official members of the Chu Clan Alliance yet.

Half of the people immediately left after hearing Long Mucheng’s words and more left after thinking it over. Within moments, the initial three billion people fell to two hundred million.

“Looks like recruitment isn’t that easy, either.” Long Mucheng sighed helplessly.

She had thought that at least half of the people here would be reliable, since they had already cleared the previous trials. However, she had gravely underestimated how fickle-minded people could be in the face of danger.

She turned her eyes to those remaining.

“Let’s see how many of those remaining are sincere about fighting alongside us.”
