Chapter 87: The Elder's Chamber
As for the mysterious realm, Shen Xiang and others didn't know much about it either. They only knew that it was extremely mysterious and had a large number of talented treasures, some of which even had a large number of demonic beasts. For warriors, it was a natural treasure trove, but there were also many unknown dangers.
Elder Wu saw the doubt on their faces and immediately said: "The Elder's Hall has already moved into this mysterious realm, we are familiar with everything inside and outside of this realm, everything here is under our control. You don't have to worry about those very strong demon beasts appearing, the strongest ones are only tenth-grade demon beasts."
Zhu Rong asked, "So you're saying that all the heavenly treasures inside have been cleaned out by you guys? If those three found some leftovers inside, would they also need to hand them over? Why didn't I encounter such an assessment back then?"
Wu Zhanglao laughed and scolded: "Little fatty, you and that old fatty in your family are really alike! If they find something good here, they don't need to hand it over, but they must report it to us. If they want to sell it, they must also give priority to selling it to Taiwu Gate."
The third assessment was actually hunting and killing three tenth-grade demon beasts, which was indeed a test of one's comprehensive strength. Shen Xiang looked forward to it very much.
"In front of you are three paths, each leading to a place where there are more demonic beasts. This is a storage waistband that can store a large number of things. You need to bring back the corpses of the demonic beasts, remember not to embezzle, we will know! The demonic beasts inside were all caught by us and put in, after you kill them, you can get half of the demonic beasts, this is considered a reward for you!" Wu Changlao handed over three black waistbands to them.
Shen Xiang and his friends took over the waistband, then encouraged each other, and stepped onto the road leading to the depths of the Mysterious Realm.
"Wu Changlao, where is the Council Chamber in here?" Zhu Rong looked around after Shen Xiang and the others left, but didn't see any buildings.
"Confidentiality, in short, is right here, but I can tell you that Dan Changlao also moved several small courtyards of her Ta Dan Institute into it. As long as you enter those small courtyards, you can stay here for a long time." Wu Changlao smiled mysteriously.
The Elder Hall of Taiwu Gate has always been a mystery, and no one knows how many old men are inside, nor does anyone know their true strength. Only a few elders are known to the public.
"Sometimes you don't need to have extremely strong power to enter the Elder Hall, as long as you reach that stage, you will know that every once in a while there will be an elder assessment, and if you can pass it, you can become an elder." Wu Lao Lao patted Zhu Rong's shoulder and then took him away.
Shen Xiang walked on the road, gazing at the beautiful stars in the sky, breathing in the fragrant air, and feeling the extremely rich spiritual energy here, with a sense of emotion in his heart.
"I didn't expect that Taiwu Gate had such a big mystery, and it was actually next to a mysterious realm. I think they have almost exhausted the resources in this mysterious realm and are preparing to announce the secret of Taiwu Gate to the outside world. This can create momentum for Taiwu Gate." Su Meiyao said.
"Mei Yao sister, have you seen any other mysterious realms?" Shen Xiang asked.
"Of course I've seen them, but none of them are as beautiful as this one. They're all very dangerous places, but the treasures inside are truly numerous, that's a fact." Su Mei Yao said.
Taiwu Gate can stand at the highest point of Chenwu Continent, it is established by relying on this mysterious realm!
……
……
In the courtyard of an old mansion, three transparent crystal balls hung as high as a person. From these three crystal balls, you could clearly see the figures of Shen Xiang, Yun Xiaodao, and Zhang De, which was an aerial view.
Next to the three crystal balls, there were more than twenty people. Among them were Na Wukai and Dan Changlao. The others were some elderly men or women, as well as a few middle-aged and young people, but most of them wore masks on their faces.
It's been many years since any disciple has passed the second assessment, and now that Shen Xiang, this eye-catching young man, has passed it, all these old guys in the Elder Hall want to see how he'll pass the third assessment.
"This kid Shen Xiang has such talent, he must not be an ordinary person's disciple. There must be a powerful figure behind him, but why did he come to Tai Wu Men? The martial skills he uses are ones we've never seen before, although they're not very advanced, they're still extremely powerful compared to others of the same level!" said a young man with an average appearance.
"Haha, I really wonder why Dan Lao would play with such a big stake, what if he wins?" Wu Kaoming laughed.
Others also expressed incomprehension.
"Old Master Dan snorted coldly: 'Wu Lao, you've won me now. I can marry you immediately. Whoever wins me here, I'll marry him!'"
No one said anything else, it's not easy to win against Dan Changlao, even the Ta Wu Palm Master who was in seclusion didn't dare to try lightly.
"Now we have to find out what motivated this kid to come to Taiwu Gate!" The young man said.
"There shouldn't be any motive, based on the results of our investigation, he only entered Taiwu Gate to improve himself, although the martial arts he can use are powerful, but not many, I think it's very likely that he came for this aspect." Wu Kaoming said.
"It's also possible that he came to enhance his alchemy skills, but he'd better not think about entering the Tai Dan Institute." The old man sneered.
"Don't be so sure, didn't you say before that he wouldn't pass the second assessment? But he actually passed it and even showed off in front of you." Old Master Wu said with a smile.
"Hmph! This little brat, I'll settle scores with him sooner or later." Dan Lao said in a low hum.
"I hope he doesn't have any other evil intentions, or else we will show no mercy!" The young man said.
Wu Lao nodded and said: "Who among you is interested in taking him as an apprentice? This is a good seedling, and it will also be possible to understand him more clearly."
Those who can be here are all strong and powerful in the Council of Elders. At this time, they are all discussing that Shen Xiang's potential is something they could see before, he is the most promising disciple they have ever seen, especially his unyielding personality has also been praised by most of them.
"Who dares to take him as a disciple, I won't let it pass!" Dan Changlao suddenly shouted, making the crowd quiet again: "Even if the head of the sect wants to take him as a disciple, I'll make it difficult for him! Not to mention that this kid entering the True Martial Realm is still an unknown quantity, haven't we seen many geniuses die in the Ordinary Martial Realm's tenth layer over the years?"
Everyone can see that Dan Changlao is deeply resentful of Shen Xiang, and at this time they are also like those disciples who cannot understand why Dan Changlao would be so resentful of Shen Xiang.
"It's just a woman being petty, isn't it just a young and arrogant little thing that bumped into you a few times? Is it worth remembering?" An old man shook his head and smiled, and the crowd couldn't help but tremble when they heard this.
Because they knew that this mysterious Dan Lao was extremely vengeful, those who were hated by her would not have a good ending. A long time ago, several powerful magic heads in the demonic path had insulted her with words and ended up being made to suffer a fate worse than death by her.
Shen Xiang was walking on the road with a smile, leisurely and carefree, admiring the beautiful scenery of the mysterious realm, unaware that a group of old monsters were staring at him and discussing him in whispers, nor did he know that Dan Changlao was thinking of ways to make things difficult for him.
