Gathering of the Young Elites [ End of Vol 1]

Today is the day where a lot of people can see their idols, and it was the start of the Ghostfort Trials, you can also call it a gathering of the young elites as a lot of well known young talents from various sects and academies will come to take part in the Ghostfort Trials.

The Ghostfort trials are used to train young talents so that they can experience what it is like to face demon beasts and monsters and this way most of the talented ones will improve their cultivation and gain new insights.

The Ghostfort is a mysterious ground that not even a map can be drawn up as every layer has yet to be discovered and if one is lucky, they can have heaven changing effect on them with whatever they find.

However, one of the other reason why a lot of people gather to see the results of these young talents is because of the stiff competition amongst the top powers of the continent, a lot of people will be expecting to see fights and brawls between other sects.

The reason why the top powers of the continent send their talents to this trial is that every time it happens the top ten students on the ranking board will be sent to the Asura sect, a sect that overlooks and runs this Ghostfort Trials competition.

The top ten ranking students get to attend a secret ground where a lot of Heavenly Qi can be found which is provided by the Asura sect.

Every sect and academy in the continent didn't know anything about these arrangers of the competition, but each of the sects and academies has records from the ancient times to keep away from the people of the Asura Sect.

They were some who didn't follow their ancestor's teachings and what happened at the end was the disappearance of a sect, family and their generations, from then onwards no one has ever mentioned or spoke about the people of the Asura Sect.

The five cultivators who arrive to oversee this competition from the Asura sect call themselves the Guardians of the Asura sect, it was rumoured that the competition is run by them just to get heavenly talents to enter their sect.

Since a decade since running these trials, not a single person was able to enter their sect. However, this generation has led to so many talents from various sects that each of the top powers of the continent feel confident that they will have a chance.

These top powers are hopeful that one of their talents will get selected as it will boost their ranking in power, and the young talent can hopefully recruit even more talents from their sect.

The surrounding was bustling with every young talent talking and impatiently waiting for the entrance of the Ghostfort to be opened, even though there are various different entrances, this is the one which is arranged for the Ghostfort trials.

Yama, on the other hand, was not fussed at all as he was waiting patiently while Fu Li was getting beaten up by a few girls for complaining that they aren't as beautiful as him. At this point, Yama has gotten used to Fu Li, because of the similar attitude as Gupta.

While Yama was thinking about his past times in hell, he heard few students talking about someone as if they have seen a god.

"Look she's here! She is the one who the Heavenly sect is spending all their resources on"

"Yes! I heard she's been groomed to take care of the Heavenly sect once she reaches the desired cultivation level."

"I heard she's got a unique constitution hence why the sect has been pouring all the resources on her."

"She is beautiful!"

"Don't get your hopes up! The young master of the One Saber sect is currently pursuing her!"

Yama couldn't help but be intrigued by these words, he wanted to see just which young talent is literally going to take over a sect when she reaches the cultivation level that the sect told her too but when Yama saw the person he couldn't help but be surprised because the person is none other than his cousin Ye Lan.

The daughter of the third elder of the Ye Clan, Yama couldn't help but think what his excited face will be like at the moment, obviously this elder was a go free man and didn't care about anything that happened in the clan but was always there at important times, he was also the only elder that treated Ye Ji nice in the past.

Ye Lan however also noticed Yama in the crowd, she was beyond shocked to see Yama participating in the Ghostfort Trials but what surprised her even more, was the cultivation level of Yama, the last thing she remembers was that Yama had no aptitude for cultivation at all, she couldn't understand how Yama has a cultivation of 2nd Stage Spirit Realm in the span of few months.

Mo Chou who initially recruited Ye Lan noticed that she was frozen in place and tried to follow her gaze, she was also stunned by what she saw as she didn't expect to see Yama here either, initially she always thought that Yama was different and after seeing him here, she couldn't help but think that he has so many secrets hidden in him.

She wondered now whether the Heaven blessing stone crumbling into pieces was actually something that was really caused by him purposely and not a punishment from heavens.

However, she knew right now wasn't the time to talk as Ye Lan has never talked about him at all to her. Mo Chou was initially surprised when the sect has found out that Ye Lan has a heaven-defying constitution, where she doesn't have to worry about any bottlenecks in cultivation what-so-ever as long as the constitution gets activated.

This is the reason why the sect has sent her to go and experience the Ghostfort so that she can try her luck and hope that she can activate her constitution.

Ye Lan and Mo Chou carried on walking after recollecting her thoughts, Ye Lan who is a martial frantic put everything aside and set out to do what was tasked for her, she believes that she can awaken her constitution at this Ghostfort trails.

"Yama we will arrive in different locations once we enter the Ghostfort, I hope we can meet each other at one time and maybe experience it together" Fu Li suggested.

"You should first go and experience yourself and try your luck, and we can always meet up near the end."

Fu Li and the others didn't say anything but agree to Yama's words, they know that everyone has their own luck and each of them will have their own fate, they will need to challenge themselves.

"Everyone! We are going to be opening the Ghostfort in few minutes! Everyone who is participating will now receive a talisman.

This is a protective talisman which can protect you, so if you are in danger just push the talisman and you will be teleported outside.

The teachers will be watching over too, but not all of them can watch everyone, so you will have to look after yourself."

One of the Guardian of the Asura sect said as every participant received a talisman magically out of thin air, only to hear him continue.

"Remember there are five layers to the Ghostfort and it depends on your cultivation level which layer you can go up to. Most of you young ones will be in the first layer so don't risk your life out there and try the second layer if you are not confident enough because the talisman will not work in the second layer.

I will advise you young ones not to venture too deep into the Ghostfort no matter what layer it is because the talisman might not function if you go deep down into the endless space of the Ghostfort and so many cultivators who have done so have never returned.

There is still loads to discover in the Ghostfort as every layer can lead you to a completely different surprise and is up to you what risk you will like to take.

All your kills of demon beasts will be calculated and ranked into the leader board with your name and sect, so do well and don't let down your sect.

Lastly, you young ones wouldn't be the only ones in the Ghostfort remember the Ghostfort has various entrances and you might come across people you know and even powerful cultivators, so do your best not to anger anyone and keep yourself safe.

Everyone will be watching you, so be prideful and remember to help anyone in need."

As soon as the guardian finished his words, the Ghostfort trial entrance was opened, and each young talents started walking towards the gate to experience the deadly Ghostfort.
