Vol 3 Chapter 10: The Observation Team


    Over the next few days, Lin Jing learned more details about the from Deacon Zheng.


    "Among the three sects, a small number of disciples have already obtained a trace of the Zhuyan bloodline. However, the majority of our disciples aren’t here for that—not everyone wants beast blood in their veins."


    "The disciples of the Myriad Beast Sect aim to grant their pet beasts even the slightest trace of Zhuyan’s lineage, allowing them to cultivate powerful demonic techniques, spells, and combat arts."


    "As for , we seek to study the , hoping that one day, we can perfectly reconstruct the Zhuyan through illusions. As an ancient relic beast, its strength surpasses even the three imprinted in the deepest halls of the Divine Beast Palace."


    "When the time comes, your only goal will be to observe and analyze the form, spells, and martial arts."


    "Since you''ve already mastered simulating the , you might gain some unexpected insights in the ruins. It may not be the same species, but at the end of the day, they’re both primates…" Sear?h the N?velFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "And what about the ?" Lin Jing asked.


    "They’re just here to sabotage us," Deacon Zheng sneered. "A bunch of wenches. When you enter the , make sure to deal with them the same way you did today—mercilessly take them down!"


    "I specifically chose you for this expedition because you seem to have a talent for handling Flower Sect enchantresses."


    Lin Jing remained silent.


    Truthfully, he wasn’t particularly eager to enter the , but refusing wasn’t really an option.


    This seemed like the fastest path to becoming a , and if all the competitors were cultivators, his expertise in would still allow him to compete.


    "I won’t disappoint you, Deacon Zheng," Lin Jing said, clasping his hands in salute.


    A few days later, the name spread across . Many disciples heard that an had emerged in the , joining the and even capturing a Flower Sect enchantress alive.


    Killing a cultivator of the same rank? Many could do that.


    Capturing one alive? That was far more difficult. Usually, only someone with a much higher cultivation level could pull that off.


    But according to the Flower Sect disciple’s confession, this had perfectly simulated a great demon, suppressing her in an instant. This further cemented his reputation as a true prodigy.


    Meanwhile, Lin Jing himself had entered seclusion once more.


    Three Months Later.


    gathered 100 elite disciples. Their cultivation levels ranged from to . Among them, 95 were disciples, while five were —all key figures for this expedition into the .


    The ruins had been discovered by three sects ten years ago. The initial exploration yielded some gains, but none of the sects had obtained the grand opportunity that could reshape their power structure.


    Thus, after much discussion, the three sects agreed to send 100 disciples every seven years to explore it again. This would be the eighth expedition…


    "Depart!"


    From airship, a Sect Master led the team, accompanied by several .


    Below, the 100 disciples were divided into seven squads, each led by a acting as captain.


    Among them was a female known as .


    "Now, let me explain our squad’s mission," she announced.


    "Senior Sister Ning, just say the word—we will follow your every command!" a youth eagerly proclaimed.


    Senior Sister Ning nodded and continued, "Based on the last two expeditions, every group of entrants will begin in the same ."


    "In this grand hall, a drop of Zhuyan’s blood will materialize. Shortly after, it will take form as a Junior Zhuyan at Early Foundation Establishment cultivation." ???????Вê????


    "Only by defeating this can we pass the first trial."


    "Although its cultivation is only , its actual combat strength is overwhelming. It takes the combined efforts of over a hundred cultivators to bring it down."


    "Once slain, the ruins will distribute traces of to all participants based on their contribution. When absorbed, this blood enhances the physical body. If one continues to accumulate and refine enough of it, they will develop a ."


    "Those who inherit this bloodline will gain exceptional physical strength, becoming similar to those with rare physiques like the , , and . They will no longer be considered pure-blooded humans."


    "This can be considered a fortuitous opportunity—but it’s not suitable for disciples."


    "Our mission is not to obtain ! There is no need to participate in the battle."


    "Instead, we are here to observe the in combat. Because it is merely a projection, won’t work. We must rely entirely on our own perception and memory."


    "During this process, some Flower Sect disciples may abandon the battle against the to disrupt our observations. Pay them no mind—other squads will handle them. Our duty is to focus entirely on the battle."


    "As long as we can recreate even one percent of the divine essence, the sect will grant us immense rewards."


    "If, however, another sect''s disciple breaks through our defenses, only then should we stop observing and eliminate the intruder."


    Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.


    "As for the second trial," Senior Sister Ning continued, "after passing the first, we will enter another . This time, another will appear, but unlike the first, this one will wield a weapon and utilize martial arts."


    "In the first trial, the relies solely on brute force. But in the second trial, it will be far more difficult and cunning."


    "However, upon defeating it, aside from the , the weapon it wields will be granted to whoever lands the finishing blow."


    "That being said, these weapons are not particularly valuable—they are merely mid-tier magical artifacts."


    "Thus, our duty remains the same: observation. We must commit its martial techniques and battle essence to memory through illusionary arts!"


    "As for the third trial…"


    Lin Jing listened intently, gradually gaining a clear understanding of his role in this expedition.


    His mission was simple: observe the battles between the other disciples and the , committing its combat patterns and divine presence to memory.


    Only in the most critical moments would he be allowed to take action—either against rival sect disciples or against the itself.
