Chapter 1683 - Foreign Trial
Not long after Zhang Feng left, Han Buli arrived at the Ignored Valley. After sitting down, Han Buli took out a jade disk and said, “Little Hai, take this portion of faith power. As for the Dao Avatar Technique, you should have already acquired one, so I didn’t bother to bring it to you. The technique isn’t complicated, it’s up to you what kind of dao avatar you want to condense.”
Zhao Hai nodded as he smiled and said, “Thanks, Benefactor Han. Do you want me to address you like this?”
Han Buli stared at Zhao Hai and said, “Stop using good words to win me over. However, I did come this time to tell you something.”
Zhao Hai asked, “What is it?”
Han Buli replied, “The five-year external trial is getting close. You need to increase your strength. If you can participate in this trial, you will be able to benefit a lot.”
Zhao Hai gave Han Buli a look and said, “External Trial? What is that?”
Han Buli tapped his head, he once again forgot that Zhao Hai was a newcomer to the Great World of Cultivation. So he immediately explained, “It’s a place located outside the Great World of Cultivation. It’s a strange subspace with lifeforms that came from who knows where. These lifeforms have strong imitation ability and can imitate techniques. However, those beings aren’t strong, so ordinary disciples can deal with them. There are a lot of these beings in that subspace. Their population became a danger that needs to be dealt with. Also, after killing these lifeforms, one would gain a certain understanding of the technique they imitated. Moreover, their technique to condense dao avatars is very good.”
“However, the passage for this subspace only opens every five years and is open for only a month. After a month, even powerful experts wouldn’t be able to break in. Because of this, various sects will organize outer disciples to enter that subspace every five years. It’s a valuable month for studying dao avatars for Outer and Inner Disciples. Little Hai, you need to meet the requirements to go there. It will be very helpful to you.”
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he muttered, “I didn’t think there would be such a place. Interesting. Brother Han, what exactly are these lifeforms you are talking about?”
Han Buli shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but the seniors have given it a name. They’re called spirit slugs. It’s said that their bodies are very sticky.”
“Slugs. Haha. I really want to see what these slugs are. By the way, Brother Han, is this the only subspace that the Great World of Cultivation has?”
“Of course not. The subspace that the slugs are located in is one of the lowest levels. It’s only for Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Disciples who haven’t condensed their dao avatars. I heard that high-level subspaces are as large as the Great World of Cultivation. They have a lot of powerful beings inside that even Nascent Soul Experts would find hard to defeat.
Zhao Hai replied, “So strong? Right, how much time is left for the subspace to open?”
Han Buli counted inside his head before replying, “It should be in half a month. But I think Zhang Feng will arrange something for you. However, once you come back, people will know about your connection with Zhang Feng.”
Zhao Hai knit his brows and said, “Then I might as well not go. The Ignored Valley is more important than the subspace. Even if I don’t go to that subspace, I can still condense my dao avatar. If I were to get taken out of the Ignored valley, then the loss for First Senior Brother would be big.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, Han Buli couldn’t help but be stunned. At this time, a voice was heard, “Little Hai, you must go to this trial. Not only for you, but also for me.”
Zhao Hai and Han Buli stared, then the two turned their heads to see Zhang Feng walking over. Zhao Hai immediately stood up as he gave Zhang Feng a salute, “First Senior Brother, you came? Why didn’t I see the transmission formation light up?”
Of course, Zhao Hai knew about Zhang Feng’s arrival. Although he didn’t see the transmission formation activating, Zhao Hai monitored his territory well. Even if a fly flew over, it would be impossible for it to escape Zhao Hai’s notice. Therefore, it was easy for him to notice Zhang Feng.
Although Zhang Feng was very formidable and his spiritual force was hidden, it was impossible for him to hide from the Space. Zhao Hai also chose his words properly in order to be heard by Zhang Feng.
On the other hand, Zhang Feng was convinced that Zhao Hai didn’t know of his arrival. Experts like Zhang Feng have a problem with regards to their confidence. Zhang Feng was sure that Zhao Hai couldn’t detect him, therefore he believed what he heard.
After inviting Zhang Feng to sit down, Zhao Hai said, “First Senior Brother, just like what Brother Han said, if I went out this time, our relationship would be revealed. If they find out, then our gains wouldn’t outweigh our losses. It doesn’t matter if my dao avatar gets delayed a few days. But if our position here gets revealed, then our loss would be too great.”
Zhang Feng gave Zhao Hai and appreciative look. He was satisfied with Zhao Hai’s sense of justice and selflessness. But he still pushed on, “There’s no need for you to use your status to go to the external trial. There are other identities you can use.”
Zhao Hai was stunned, he looked at Zhang Feng in confusion. Zhang Feng smiled faintly and said, “You can use a technique to change your appearance. Go using Little Hao’s identity, and Little Hao can hide for a month. The clans are already aware that Little Hao has become my subordinate. So if you use his identity, nobody will suspect. Also, the clans won’t care about what happens outside the sect.”
Hearing Zhang Feng, Zhao Hai’s heart couldn’t help but be moved. It would be a lie to say that Zhao Hai wasn’t attracted by the external trial. Although he has condensed dao avatars, Zhao Hai wanted to condense more. Moreover, Han Buli said that those slugs can imitate the techniques of all sects in the Great World of Cultivation. Zhao Hai wanted to see what the techniques of the other sects were like.
Also, Han Buli said that the spirit slugs were creatures. This meant that the Space could take them in.
All of these attracted Zhao Hai. But if Zhang Feng didn’t let him go, then he wouldn’t think much of it. After all, he was already in the Great World of Cultivation. He would see these techniques sooner or later. Although he wouldn’t be able to bring the slugs to the Space, it wouldn’t matter too much for Zhao Hai. At this point, the Space could level up on its own. Although it couldn’t level up as fast, there was still some progress.
Zhao Hai looked at Zhang Feng and said, “It wouldn’t be difficult for me to change my appearance. Also, there won’t be any need to take care of the Ignored Valley. As long as I leave Undead behind, there won’t be any problems. But this time, I’m afraid I’ll have to be unfair to Brother Zhang Hao.”
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to think about it. I already told Little Hao about this and he agrees. Also, another reason I came here is to take the large artifact for a stroll. The reason why you didn’t notice me was because I used the large artifact to come over.”
Zhao Hai had an enlightened expression as he said, “No wonder. It seems like First Senior Brother has officially started using the large artifact.”
Zhang Feng laughed and said, “It’s very good, naturally I have to use it. In the past, those fellows laughed at me for not having a large artifact. Now that I have one, I want them to take a look. I’ll return to the sect using the large artifact. I want to see their expressions. Little Hai, you have to prepare. You must participate in this foreign trial.” Zhao Hai gave him a nod.
Zhang Feng got up and said, “I can’t stay here for a long time, or else I would be discovered. I’ll come see you in the future.” Zhao Hai nodded. Zhang Feng gave Han Buli his greetings before he left.
After Zhang Feng left, Han Buli opened his mouth and said, “It seems like Zhang Feng really treats you with high regard. Not only did he give you faith power, he also arranged for you to join the trial.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I also want to take a look at this trial. Alright, let’s not talk about this. In fact, there’s nothing I need to prepare. Let’s go have a drink.”
Han Buli shook his head and said, “I can’t drink today. I’ll come over if I have time. This external trial will be important for your future. Moreover, you have yet to take in faith power. Start with it now. As long as you can absorb faith power, this trial will give you more benefits.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Alright, then I’ll be impolite and won’t keep you. When I come back from the trial, I’ll come looking for you to drink.” Han Buli nodded before he turned around and left.
Zhao Hai looked at Han Buli’s back and said, “Foreign trial. Interesting. Let’s see how it turns out.” Then his body flashed as he entered the Space.
Laura and the others were already waiting for Zhao Hai inside the Space. Seeing Zhao Hai arrive, Laura said, “Brother Hai, immediately absorb the faith power. Let’s see if there’s something different with it.”
Zhao Hai smiled. Laura and the others were curious about him absorbing the faith power. At this point, any additional faith power was useless for him. However, Zhao Hai didn’t disappoint them either as he took out a jade disk and began to attract the faith power stored inside.
