C3138 Arriving Again
Thus, not only did this storm not subside as time passed, it became more and more intense.
Especially those rank nine saints and demigods, they were very concerned about the standards of the Heavenly Palace.
After all, they were only one step away from the Deity Realm and had great expectations for this trial. If they could not enter the second stage, it meant that they would be eliminated by the Heavenly Palace.
They naturally could not bear such an outcome.
At this moment, in a palace, three figures appeared. Two men and a woman, their auras were all extremely outstanding. They were precisely Zhang Yuanting, Nangong Chen, and Chu Yiren.
"Did you spread the news?" Zhang Yuanting looked at the two of them and asked.
"No." The two of them shook their heads at the same time. They knew very well in their hearts that if the news was spread out, it wouldn't do them any good, so how could they tell anyone else?
Zhang Yuanting's eyes flashed with an unfathomable meaning. If it wasn't the three of them, then there was only one person left.
Jiang Xingzhou.
"We can't let this matter continue to ferment. We have to stand out and stop it. Otherwise, something big might happen in the future." Zhang Yuanting said with a solemn expression.
Previously, other than them, no one else knew about the existence of the second stage of the trial. As such, they had no intention of competing with each other. They only wanted to increase their own strength and obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Palace.
However, now that the news had spread, the situation had changed.
In order to enter the second stage, it was very likely that the strong would attack the weak and force them to leave the Sky City. This way, their chances of entering the second stage would naturally be greater.
Not only would there be conflicts between the various factions, but the people of the same faction would also do the same. After all, no matter how deep the friendship was, it would not be able to match their own fate in the future.
At that stage, people of lower cultivation levels would have no room to survive in Sky City. Even they could not stop such a thing from happening.
If they could stop it in time, they might be able to stabilize the situation.
"Later, I'll gather the people of the Nangong Dynasty and ask them to focus on their cultivation. We can't discuss this anymore." Nangong Chen said.
"I'll gather the people of the Dark Feather God Palace." Chu Yiren also said.
"There is no time to lose. Let's move now." Zhang Yuanting had the final say. Nangong Chen and Chu Yiren both nodded and turned to leave the palace.
However, the moment they walked out of the palace, a dazzling golden divine light descended from the sky, illuminating every corner of the Sky City.
"What happened?"
In an instant, cries of alarm rang out from all directions. Many figures raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the sky. Their faces were filled with excitement as many thoughts flashed through their minds.
The experts of the Heavenly Palace had appeared once again!
What kind of news would he bring this time? Was it related to the second stage of the trial?
In the void, many figures appeared. The person in the middle was white-clothed youth, Qin Xuan. Next to him were Li Mubai, Jian Chunqiu, Deng Kong, and a few other Sword Attendants.
Qin Xuan gazed at the golden divine light with a profound gaze. The news had just spread, and the experts of the Heavenly Palace had arrived. From this, it could be seen that the Heavenly Palace knew everything that had happened in the Sky City like the back of their hand.
However, this was normal. The trial had begun the moment they stepped into the Sky City.
At this moment, a mighty phantom appeared in the golden divine light. Immediately, an incomparably powerful divine might descended and enveloped the entire area, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble.
Just a single thought was already so powerful. Who knew how powerful this sovereign's strength would be?
"I originally planned to inform you about the second stage of the trial after a period of time. But now that you already know, I'll tell you the truth." An incomparably dignified voice echoed down from the sky, resounding between heaven and earth.
Upon hearing this voice, countless people were wild with joy. Was he finally going to tell them the truth?
Zhang Yuanting, Nangong Chen, and Chu Yiren all revealed puzzled expressions. They could not understand why the Heavenly Palace was doing this.
Could it be that the Heavenly Palace wanted them to start a chaotic battle for the quota?
If that was the case, the ones who entered the second stage of the trial weren't the most talented ones, but the most powerful ones. Wouldn't this violate the original intention of the Heavenly Palace to hold the trial?
"The Sky City is the first stage of the trial. The second stage of the trial is in another place. The danger there is far greater than the Sky City. In order to protect your safety... The Sky Palace will select a portion of you to go there for the trial. "
The voice was heard once again. Countless people's eyes flashed with a sharp light. As expected, only a portion of them could go to the second stage of the trial.
Although the strong cultivators of the Heavenly Palace claimed that it was to protect their safety, they understood that it was actually a way to eliminate people.
Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Palace arrange the second stage of the trial?
"Senior, may I ask what kind of requirements are needed to be met in order to participate in the second stage of the trial?" Someone asked.
Hearing that person's voice, many people immediately became nervous, especially those with lower cultivation levels. They didn't have much confidence in themselves.
One had to cross the Sky Gate to enter the Sky City. A large number of geniuses had already been rejected. It was obvious that the requirements to participate in the second stage of the trial would be even more difficult.
"Those who have accumulated more than 10,000 Divine Sparks can participate in the second stage of the trial." The expert from the Heavenly Palace replied.
"20,000 Godheads!"
Many people's hearts trembled violently, and their expressions turned ugly. They only had one or two thousand godheads now, and by the time they accumulated twenty thousand godheads, they might have already missed the second stage of the trial.
"Senior, you just said that you had accumulated a total of godheads. Does this mean that the godheads you consumed earlier were also counted?" Someone asked. Although he thought that was what he meant, it was better to confirm it.
"Of course." The expert from the Heavenly Palace replied.
Many people heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the Heavenly Palace expert's affirmative answer. Although 20,000 Godheads was a huge sum, as long as they accepted some more tests, they should be able to save it up very quickly.
"The rules have changed." Nangong Chen said in a low voice. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. According to the information he received, the Heavenly Palace would select a thousand people with outstanding performances to enter the second stage of the trial, instead of looking at Godheads.
"The news has spread ahead of time. The Heavenly Palace doesn't want chaos, so they changed the rules." Zhang Yuanting explained.
Nangong Chen nodded slightly. That was probably the reason. Otherwise, the experts of the Heavenly Palace wouldn't have announced the rules for the second stage of the trial so early.
"Senior, when will the second stage of the trial begin?" Someone else asked.
"When the time is right, it will naturally begin. All you need to do is work hard on your cultivation. Cherish this trial well, and there won't be any more in the future"
After the strong cultivators of the Heavenly Palace said that, they merged into the golden divine light. Then, the golden divine light shot into the sky. With a thought, it penetrated the sky, and the City in the Sky returned to peace.
Countless people raised their heads and looked at the sky. Their eyes were filled with strong belief. At the moment, there was only one thought in their heads - to try their best to obtain the divine spark!
