Chapter 18. Fake Faces.
While second prince was busy reading the decree the news about the forbidden ground had attracted Huang Shen's attention.
As he listened further he was confused until he asked the system about it.
'Hey system what are these forbidden grounds?'
[Answering to the Host]
[Forbidden grounds are the separate spaces that exist in the infinite void, it was same as our own world, the only difference is that it was ruled over by the souls, undead and Demonic Beasts.
All kinds of Souls can be found there from Dead God's To Demon fiend.
It was said that after living for countless years, Immortals and God's go to that place to die peacefully.
It was also directly linked to the Underworld Abyss which was linked with countless world's and all the soul's are guided towards it.]
'Even the Gods die?' How can a god die!! God's are Immortal right, he was confused.
[Host, the gods in this world are defined by the cultivation, one's a cultivator reaches the peak of their cultivation they achieve the lower Divinity, which gives them hundreds of thousands of years of life.
But they will die one's that divinity is fully depleted.
So Gods in this world is just the title one receive.]
'Then what about other worlds?'
[Higher the World in Rank, the longer their lifespan and the stronger they are compared to other lower worlds.]
Hearing it he was still confused why are these people exited hearing the news about forbidden grounds, do they want plan to go and die there?
'So do people usually enters these so called forbidden grounds?'
[Yes! People do enter these ground in the search for treasure.]
Treasure?
[Yes treasure, as that place is filled with chaotic energies and undead, the Medicinal herbs, and the natural born treasures are also all over the place.
As undead do not need Herb's.
Some of the herbs are even ranked in Immortal ranking.
Ageing up to ten's thousands of years.]
'Damn'
Immortal ranking that was the condition to enter the new world right.
[Yes, Host is correct to enter the world Outside the Safe Zone, you need to at least reach the peak of the Mortal rank or enter the immortal rank. ]
'Sigh'
Sighing lightly he again started listening the second prince who was now telling them about The Immortal Demon trails, and seeing their expression he was feeling quite delightful.
The shock that news bring to them was even greater than the Forbidden Ground, and the reason for that was.
Not everyone was allowed to enter the forbidden ground as it was very dangerous for low level cultivators, but here they are getting the chance to enter the trials of someone who were even more powerful than the upper continents.
Not everyone here know about the safe zone and outer part of the world but all of them knew one this that this faction was very powerful even more that the 9 continents.
As the name Immortal already represents the peak of the Mortal Cultivation.
They almost couldn't believe their ears, this was really a one in a million chance for them to enter and become more powerful joining their empire.
As the second prince finished the decree and left, all the guest were also thinking about their next action, as all they wanted to do right now is to run back to their clans and prepare their clansman to join the trials.
"Cough"
"Patriarch Huang, if you don't mind we from Red jade city wanted to leave early, as after listening to the decree we really need the time to prepare."
Someone from the crowd asked and he bowed towards Old Chang and directly moved towards the exit without even waiting for the answer.
Many of them who where from outside the city also moved towards the exit.
It was like they all wearing Fake faces that always change in front of everyone.
And no one stopped them, even though it was disrespectful they didn't care right now.
One thing was to notice here as all the people still think that Old Chang was not that Powerful than the other Elders present, as Liu Mang was not that higher in his cultivation, and the news about trials and chances to rise in power had also tempered their minds.
Old Change wanted to stop them when he saw them being disrespectful.
But was stopped by Huang Shen, as he let them go.
Only people close to them and people from their city remained there.
They also wanted to go but they did not want to be disrespectful towards the three clans and the new elder.
"SIGH!! You all can also go as I know that it was already a big news and everyone needed some time, as we also needed to prepare for the trial."
Old Huang said towards them as everyone present bowed and moved forward.
It was already a big deal for them to be able to enter the high level trial and join the immortal faction.
It didn't take long when the Hall became quite as only one left right now were The three clans Patriarch and their people.
They all looked towards each other and then Old Chang.
"I think we all need to discuss about the situation right now, and decide who will represent our clans and how many will join the trials." This time it was patriarch of Dong Clan Dong Boqiu as he saw the everyone looking at the New Elder.
"Yes.. Yes, we also need to discuss." Grandpa Huang said as he looked towards Old Chang again.
"Senior if you don't mind we also want you to join the small meeting about the news happening around, as we think it's pretty weird that so many things are happening in the same time." Said Grandpa Huang as he look expectant towards Old Chang.
They all knew that this elder knew more than them about the matter happening as they all saw him listening the news without a change in his expression, not even a surprise.
And wanted to take a chance to find out more, and also build a better relationship with a powerful person to get a powerful backing.
Huang Shen and Old Chang also understood what was going on in their minds.
"Sure I will join the meeting with you all." Old Chang replied lightly as he looked towards Huang Shen and then moved towards the meeting room With everyone leaving the Ladies and younger generation in the Hall.
Even though all of them had heard the news they didn't care and let it be handled by their Husband's, they all talked about the things in their life.
While Huang Shen was busy Babysitting Xie Qing.
.....
Second prince was already half way through the capital city when Liu Mang woke up.
He was quite for some time before starting shouting curses all over.
The humiliation he had felt today was even greater than the last time.
He looked towards the Second Prince and also wanted to shout curses at him.
But second prince started telling him about the decree and what was going to happen in a month.
"If you want your revenge you can do it, if you gain something good from the Trials and Gain the favour of the Empire." He said to Liu Mang as if he was consoling a child.
"Almost every Empire and sects would want you to join them at that time giving them some conditions will be possible." And it worked as Liu Mang Calmed down and started thinking it over and over.
"You are right if we were able to join those empire and Sects our chances to go to that place will increase, and we will also be able to go to other continent of we became powerful enough, but my revenge can't wait that Long." He said while clenching his fist.
He had already planned every thing and was prepared to create a big ruckus as he had already informed his allies to get inside the party, but who knew he will be humiliated in front of them and no one came to help him.
"I was already humiliated enough, and also that new elder I will also make him beg for Forgiveness as I will torture that Disciple of his in front of him and Huang clan." He was already out of saving and second prince didn't try to advise him further.
'It was all your fault idiot and you are blaming them to humiliate you, you are still alive that is enough Luck.' He thought as he looked outside the carriage window as they were about to reach the Capital City.
...
Xie Qing was already fallen asleep and was currently sitting on his lap while hugging him and sleeping soundly.
He was currently in deep thinking as he was remembering the faces of the people present, many of them looked more like an enemy to him rather than a friend.
He was little worried about his family and friends, it's only been a day when he gained the system authority to use it but the things are already starting to get messy.
'I think I really need to refine those corpses of the cultivators as the enemies are increasing day by day and everyone need the protection.'
