Chapter Thirty: The Abyssal Sect

  Looking at the newly drawn Corpse-Driver Talisman, Zhu Jiu closed his eyes and sensed it. After the Sea of Recognition absorbed this Corpse-Driver Talisman, there were indeed a few subtle changes in its strokes.

  Jiǔ huì xīn yī xiào, zhǐ jiān tán chū yī dào hóng sè guāng yàn, bǎ zhuō miàn shàng gāng gāng miáo zuò wán de gǎn lǐ fú wén fén shāo gān jìng.

  English Translation:

  Jiǔ smiled and snapped his fingers, producing a red glow that incinerated the talisman he had just finished drawing on the table.

  The secret of the Corpse-Driving Talisman he did not want others to know.

  Turned his head to take a glance at the old talisman on the table that he had won four years ago.

  The strokes of this talisman have been continuously calculated and supplemented by the mysterious sea of recognition for four years, filling in seven or eight out of ten.

  According to initial estimates, with just over a month's time left, this strange talisman should be fully restored. At that time, it will be known what it is used for!

  Sitting upright in the chair, Zhu Jiu closed his eyes to regulate his breath. After a few minutes, he got up and checked the time. It was the day of the month when he would hear the Dharma. He walked towards the transmission hall.

  Entering the transmission hall, it was rare to find that someone had arrived earlier than herself. It turned out to be Su Xingchen, who had shed her youthful awkwardness and grown into a stunningly beautiful young girl.

  Jiuli stood up at the right time with a joyful face and leaned over, asking with a smile:

  "May I ask if the noble Su Xianzi is here waiting for me?"

  Su Xingchen lifted her increasingly beautiful, giving people an unreal feeling of delicate face, smiled slightly and said softly:

  "I came so early, it's also related to you, hehe! The last time I saw you was already three months ago, I heard that you've been killing in the Demon Corpse Realm for three months and only returned to the sect yesterday. I'm also preparing to break through to the Upper Realm, no time to waste, so I came early today to listen to the teachings and see if you've made any progress, who knew it's still at the Unity Realm level, what a fool!"

  Jiu's face twisted into a bitter smile as he said sarcastically:

  "How would you know about our troubles, Big Sister? If you wanted to see me, why didn't you come find me in my room?"

  Su Xingchen's face turned slightly red, and she shook her head gently. She then chatted and laughed with Zhu Jiu, her attitude much more intimate than four years ago. This was the result of Zhu Jiu's relentless efforts to thicken his skin over the past four years, making many of his fellow disciples who entered later feel envious.

  Before long, it was time for the Transmission Class to begin. This Transmission Class provided a detailed explanation of the methods for applying talismans in the third stage of cultivation, the Realm of Illusory Manifestation, as well as many taboos and forbidden knowledge related to breaking through to the Unified Realm.

  The transmission class ended and it was time for everyone to take turns going forward to receive the necessities for their monthly cultivation. After receiving everything according to procedure, the crowd could disperse and return on their own.

  At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, and Li Chuanfa, the big bearded man, and Liu Chuanfa, who gave everyone their first lesson, walked in together.

  Many young people furrowed their brows together, and as soon as this severe method was announced, everyone felt that it wasn't a good thing.

  In the past, when Lethal Transmission appeared in someone else's lesson, it was always to announce the start of the annual assessment. Many students who were usually ranked lower in terms of their Fa power would be frightened as soon as they saw Lethal Transmission, wondering if this year's assessment had started ahead of schedule?

  Lü Chuanfa let out two loud guffaws in his signature style, but the person laughing felt a chill run down their spine. Only then did he speak up loudly:

  "You still have two months to come to the practice hall, it will be six years. First of all, congratulations to the small number of people who have reached the upper level of unity, you will all become the direct disciples of the various elders or the master of the temple, from now on your identity will rise by more than one level, and resources will also be supplied openly."

  Lü Chuan Fa paused here, seeing many Dharma practicing disciples with some showing joyful expressions and others filled with sorrow, their eyes suddenly gleaming sharply, he then said:

  "But before that, you still have one last assessment to pass. Some of you should already know that our sect is actually called the 'Abyss'. Our Corpse God Sect is one of the combined bodies of the five sects of the Abyss. The Abyss is divided into five parts according to the location of the mountain and the method of cultivation, with the middle part being the core, which is composed of the elite of our four sects. Your last assessment will be a competition with the young disciples of the other three sects, with the top ten entering the central main sect and becoming the core disciples of my Abyss Five Sects."

  The young men below suddenly became hotly debated, and the five sects of the abyss were known to everyone through four years of study.

  But the last trial was to be with the remaining three sects together, and everyone had heard of it for the first time, and they were all a little nervous, not knowing the specific situation of their opponents, and fighting would be mostly losses.

  This news seemed to have no effect on Su Xingchen, who remained calm and composed, but Zhu Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

  A young man asked loudly:

  "Lei Chuan Fa, I don't know what the other three sects are called, what their specialties are, or which famous young masters they have?"

  Li Chuan Fa burst out laughing and made a welcoming gesture with his hand. Next to him, Liu Chuan Fa, the most respected and oldest person in the Xiu Fa Hall, spoke in a calm tone:

  "Our five sects' mountain gates are located in a place called Deep Abyss Ink Jade Peak, where it is said that the discarded materials from the heavenly realm's great ability to refine immortal artifacts fell into the mortal world and sank deep into the earth, thus creating the five mysterious Deep Abyss Mountain Peaks. The peaks themselves possess extraordinary powers, able to gather and absorb the energies of heaven and earth. It is said that when the five peaks appeared, they once stirred up the covetous hearts of many major powers, and in the end, four of our sects joined forces to seize this precious land."

  He paused and continued in the midst of many young people's focused and expectant gazes:

  "The intermediate main peak has always been composed of the elite from the four surrounding factions. In recent years, our sect's luck has not been good, and there have been few talented individuals emerging. As a result, the right to speak for the sect is not great, so the sect has high hopes for your generation, pouring all its efforts into nurturing you, hoping that an extraordinary talent will emerge, becoming the highest level of the entire Deep Abyss power, and bringing glory to our sect. The specific information about the other three factions is detailed here, take it back and read it yourself!"

  Everyone then took their things and dispersed to their own residences. Zhu Jiu and Su Xingchen had a warm conversation for a few sentences before parting ways, each returning to their room.

  Jiǔ Ná chū qí yú sān dà shēn yuān zōng pài de shuō míng, xiáng xì kàn qǐ lái.

  Translation:

  Nine Extracts the explanations of the remaining three major profound sects, and looks at them in detail.

  Originally, the northernmost peak of Mò Yù Fēng was inhabited by a branch of the Blood River Sword Sect, a profound sect that mainly practiced sword techniques.

  People of the Sword Sect are best at killing, swords must drink blood when they come out, the mighty sword refined by sacrifice has unmatched power, with invincible force, its influence among the five major sects is second only to the central main peak.

  The magic of Xianjian, this made Zhu Jiu somewhat envious, stepping on the sword and flying, with a carefree posture, who wouldn't want that!

  The sect on the south-facing Mò Yù Peak is called Xīng Chén Míng Yuè Zōng, and it's best at borrowing the power of the stars and moon to draw upon the power of all the stars in the sky to refine the void thunder, with unmatched prestige, profound and heavy magical powers, and its sect's influence is not below that of Xuě Hé Jiàn Pài.

  The third is the Corpse God Taoist sect, originally called the Divine Symbol Sect. The main practice is to recognize the sea of symbols and talismans. The changes in the talismans are diverse, and when cultivated to the extreme, there is nothing that cannot be done, and no power that cannot be controlled.

  Later renamed Corpse God Path, it was because tens of thousands of years ago a generation of sect masters unexpectedly discovered the Corpse Yin Boundary, which combined the power of talismans with corpse yin, making its influence even greater. It took one character from Corpse Yin and one from Divine Talisman to rename it Corpse God Path.

  The last branch of Xifeng is called Yao Wang Mo Zong, where all kinds of monsters and demons gather together.

  This sect is often ranked last because it has always had a small number of people, and the demons are all proud and unruly, making it difficult to unite, so the overall strength of the sect is relatively weak. However, individual martial arts skills are extremely outstanding, and dark horses often appear in the disciples' competition, which is the biggest favorite to win the championship over the years.

  After reading the introduction of each sect, Jiu looked at the information of the seed players participating in this grand competition.

  The realm of the previous few seeded players is above their own, hehe! It seems that wanting to enter the main peak will have a good fight, and it's time to break through the third stage of manifestation!
