Chapter 831 Surrendering the Boundary Talisman
The four most powerful ancient forces: Kunlun Divine Mountains, Penglai Fairy Island, Tian Shan Sect, and the Porter Family of the Northern Border!
Among them, the candidates sent by Kunlun, Penglai, and Tian Shan are all extraordinary geniuses.
However, compared to them, the candidate from the Porter Family of the Northern Border seems to lack fame.
At this moment, the entire trial arena, centered around the Mirror of Trials, seems to have turned into a giant screen.
On the screen, a huge image is divided and switching perspectives.
While trying to cover the whole situation, the focus is mainly on the conditions encountered by the famous candidates.
At this time, no one noticed that someone entered the Mirror of Trials and immediately chose to quietly cultivate and avoid conflict.
However, as the current head of Kunlun and owner of the Mirror of Trials, Master Ho has some kind of connection with this ancient treasure.
Therefore, Master Ho seems to have sensed something but cannot identify or pinpoint the “source” of this feeling.
“Hmm?”
Master Ho made a slight sound.
“Master Ho, what’s wrong?”
Elder Skywalker asked.
“It’s nothing!”
Master Ho shook his head and didn’t reveal anything.
However, he secretly wondered: Why do I feel like the Power of the Sun and Moon inside the Mirror of Trials is decreasing?
Although the decrease is extremely slow, almost imperceptible, it is indeed decreasing!
Master Ho is puzzled but can only temporarily leave this question in his mind.
In theory, the Mirror of Trials claims to be a separate small world, isolated from the outside.
The Power of the Sun and Moon condensed within it by the Kunlun Patriarch should be conserved and not depleted with the rising and setting of the sun or the phases of the moon.
After all, the sun and moon inside are also formed by the Power of the Sun and Moon.
So, the Power of the Sun and Moon within the Mirror of Trials should not decrease.
What’s going on?
However, although Master Ho has sensed these subtle changes, he cannot find the reason or source.
Although he is the current owner of the Mirror of Trials, he cannot fully control this ancient treasure and cannot perceive its subtleties…
“Could it be that the treasure has encountered problems after thousands of years?”
Master Ho secretly speculated and planned to thoroughly inspect the Mirror of Trials after the Star Path Seed Selection Tournament.
If there is indeed a problem, it must be repaired in a timely manner, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Inside the Mirror of Trials!
Lachlan sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing the Sun-Moon Dual Cultivation Technique.
At this moment, both his physical body and spiritual power were improving at a visible speed.
The cultivation speed of the Sun-Moon Dual Cultivation Technique was more than ten times faster than outside.
Stomp, stomp, stomp…
After practicing for an unknown period, when the sun inside the Mirror of Trials was about to set, Lachlan suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted his cultivation state.
He heard a series of footsteps, although light and careful, they couldn’t escape his perception.
“Mr. Macdonald’s strength is truly outstanding! Just now, he stabbed the heart of that Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator with only three moves.
In my opinion, Mr. Macdonald, your strength is not inferior to the geniuses from the four major forces like Kunlun Divine Mountains!
This time, you will definitely be selected as a Seed of the Star Path.”
“That’s right! Mr. Macdonald, at such a young age, reaching the peak of Nascent Soul late-stage, you are definitely outstanding among these candidates.
Moreover, you comprehend the path of fire, one of the five elements, and your attacks are simply unstoppable.”
“Mr. Macdonald, our Ancient Macdonald family will definitely make a splash this time! Hahaha…”
From a distance, Lachlan heard a series of flattery and sycophantic voices.
Then, a group of people entered his field of vision.
In the middle walked a young man in green clothes, surrounded by a dozen or so individuals.
The young man in green clothes was Mr. Macdonald as they referred to him.
He had an air of arrogance, as if brimming with confidence.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Hmm? Someone here?”
At that moment, the group noticed Lachlan and exclaimed in surprise.
Manfred Macdonald, also known as Mr. Macdonald, narrowed his eyes slightly as he scrutinized Lachlan.
A fleeting expression of ease and disdain flashed in his eyes.
Lachlan, in turn, observed the group of people before him.
What puzzled him was, wasn’t the space of the Mirror of Trials supposed to be vast? It seemed like these people were together.
Or perhaps they were just lucky to gather upon entering?
Why hadn’t he encountered Wynne and the other two?
In the next moment, when Lachlan saw a person standing beside Mr. Macdonald, a look of surprise flickered in his eyes.
Raphael?
Indeed, it was Raphael, someone with whom he had crossed paths twice before.
The Mr. Macdonald from that secretive family!
The man had once suffered from a peculiar skin disease, almost turning into a “tree person.”
After Lachlan cured him, the man had even tried to deceive him into joining their Macdonald family, but Lachlan was cautious enough.
Later on, they formed a somewhat favorable connection.
It was through Raphael’s introduction that Lachlan found Kyrie and temporarily suppressed Nora’s curse.
Now, in this Mirror of Trials, he encountered Mr. Macdonald once again, whose strength had advanced to the early stage of Nascent Soul.
However, the former center of attention seemed to have become a follower of the young man in green clothes.
And among the followers, his position was not particularly high.
Perhaps to some extent, this reflected the position of the secretive family in front of the Ancient Macdonald family.
“Hmph! A mid-stage Nascent Soul?”
“It seems Mr. Macdonald will obtain another Boundary Talisman!”
“Kid, which sect or faction do you belong to? If you’re sensible, hand over the Boundary Talisman in your hand and surrender to Mr. Macdonald. He might spare your life!”
The people around Manfred stared at Lachlan, each offering their own words.
Some seemed ready to act against Lachlan, while others appeared to guide him in a benevolent manner, pointing out a “clear path.”
Many of the participants in this Star Path Seed Selection Tournament were actually disguised “guards” sent by their respective sects and factions.
They and their sects were well aware that the chances of these individuals reaching the end and becoming the Seed of the Star Path were extremely slim.
Their role was to assist their sect’s most promising “key geniuses” as much as possible in this selection event.
For example, after gathering together, they would act in unison and collaborate to eliminate other participants, obtaining all the Boundary Talismans for their sect’s key geniuses.
In the face of danger, they would protect the key geniuses or help divert danger away from them.
Of course, along the way, they could also subjugate other participants and serve their own key geniuses, strengthening their power and enabling them to go further.
In the end, the ultimate goal was to ensure that their own “key geniuses” survived until the end and obtained the most Boundary Talismans.
That’s why someone wanted to recruit Lachlan on behalf of Manfred.
Of course, this was on the condition that Lachlan cooperated and willingly handed over the Boundary Talisman in his possession!
