The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland had each sent three Violet Sun Golden Celestials below the age of 100 to enter the Little World. The three shattered Soul Pearls belonged to the three who were sent by the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect!
Upon seeing this, the elders from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect began to discuss among themselves. All of them furtively looked at the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect as though their people had really killed the people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
“What happened?”
“Is it a coincidence? However, isn’t it strange that those who died were all from our Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect?”
“Indeed. It’s strange.”
“Is it possible that nine of them encountered the same treasure or Chance Inheritance and fought over it? Maybe two groups joined forces to kill off the third group?”
“You’re saying the six Violet Sun Golden Celestials from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect worked together to kill the three Violet Sun Golden Celestials from our Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect?”
“Yes.”
Tie Tai He, the former Left Guardian and current Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, sneered when he heard the discussion in his surroundings. “Don’t talk nonsense when you have no evidence to support your words… After all, it’s possible that the three from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect were just really unlucky to have died at the same time.”
The elders from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect fell silent, unable to refute Tie Tai He’s words. After all, they really had no evidence to support their words.
…
Time passed silently. In just a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Over the past fifteen days, the elders from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect were anticipating the deaths of the Violet Sun Golden Celestials below the age of 100 from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. It was a blow to them that the six young powerhouses from the other two sects were still alive. After all, the longer they stayed in there, coupled with the fact that they were the first to be sent in, gave them an advantage. The young powerhouses might have found several treasures by now. It was even possible that they had found a King Grade Celestial Weapon.
“Damn it! The six Violet Sun Golden Celestials from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect whom we sent in first are still alive!”
“They’ve been in there for more than one and a half months now, I’m sure they’ve found a lot of treasures… I wonder if any of them has found a King Grade Celestial Weapon?”
“A King Grade Celestial Weapon? Impossible! King Grade Celestial Weapons are so precious, I don’t think it’d be lying around all over the place even in a Little World left behind by a Celestial King.”
“I agree.”
All of a sudden, the expression of an elder from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect changed drastically. On his palm, a newly-shattered Soul Pearl could be seen. “Wang Bin is dead!”
Another elder from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect asked with wide eyes, “Wang Bin? Isn’t he the young man whom you accepted as a disciple two months ago?”
“Yes.” The first Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s elder who had spoken nodded. His expression turned grimmer and grimmer as he said, “After accepting him as my disciple, I asked for his Soul Pearl. I didn’t expect him to die two weeks after entering the Little World. Although he might not be as strong as the nine Violet Sun Golden Celestials whom we first sent in, his strength could still be considered as among the top.”
The other Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s elder mumbled in shock, “It seems like strength isn’t everything in the Little World… Luck matters a lot as well. After all, there are many who are weaker than Wang Bing who are still alive.”
At this time, someone from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect replied, “That’s not necessarily true… After all, we don’t have all the Soul Pearls of the Violet Sun Golden Celestials who went in later… We don’t even know if they’re dead.”
Although the Violet Sun Golden Celestials below the age of 100 had joined the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, only a few were accepted as disciples of high-ranking officials of the sects. Most of them who were not accepted as disciples could only rely on the superior cultivation environment and resources to get stronger to stand out and become disciples of high-ranking officials from the sects in the future. For this reason, not many of the high-ranking officials from the three major Celestial Sects had the Soul Pearls of these young powerhouses.
“Regardless, someone from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is dead.” Some of the elders from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect could not help but gloat when they heard someone from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had died.
However, before they could take pleasure in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s misfortune for long, the expression of another elder from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect changed drastically as he cried out in horror, “Li Zhi!” A shattered Soul Pearl could be seen on his palm as well. It was obvious Li Zhi was his disciple.
“Li Zhi?”
“Li Zhi… Isn’t Li Zhi ranked eleventh among the Violet Sun Golden Celestials in the Wasteland Grand Contest? He’s quite strong, and yet, he died as well?”
“Li Zhi is much stronger than Wang Bin. I… I didn’t expect this!”
“The Little World is more dangerous than it seems… Even a Violet Sun Golden Celestial’s survival isn’t guaranteed in there.”
With another death of a Violet Sun Golden Celestial, the expressions of the high-ranking officials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland turned grim. At this time, they finally realized how dangerous and deadly the Little World was.
…
Another fifteen days passed. To those in the Devata Realms, this time passed in just a blink of an eye. Over the course of the past fifteen days, the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland had lost more and more Violet Sun Golden Celestials. However, the six out of nine Violet Sun Golden Celestials who were the firsts to be sent in were still alive. Everyone would glance at the six remaining Soul Pearls that were still hovering in the air every once in a while.
Suddenly…
Crack!
A crisp sound rang in the air, causing all the people present to tremble for a moment before they looked at the Soul Pearls in unison. A Soul Pearl had shattered.
“It’s someone from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect!”
Before anything else could be said…
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Four crisp cracking noises rang in the air again.
The Soul Pearls of another Violet Sun Golden Celestial from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and three Violet Sun Golden Celestials from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had shattered.
Currently, out of the nine people who were first sent into the Little World, only one person, who was from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, was still alive!
“W-what’s happening?!”
Everyone from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, except for Chai Kong Yu, the sect leader, looked horrified.
At this point, apart from the Violet Sun Golden Celestials whose Soul Pearls they did not have, all but one of the Violet Sun Golden Celestials they had sent into the Little World was dead.
“The only remaining Soul Pearl belongs to Feng Wu Ji Guang, the Violet Sun Golden Celestial from Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom…” Tie Tai He, the former Left Guardian and current Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, said.
The people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect lost their composure. All the Violet Sun Golden Celestials they had sent into the Little World were dead. On the other hand, the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect still had one Violet Sun Golden Celestial.
“All dead!”
“W-what’s happening?!”
After the deaths of so many Violet Sun Golden Celestials, the people from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland finally realized how dangerous the Little World was. If they had known this earlier, they would not have allowed the remaining Violet Sun Golden Celestial below the age of 100 to enter the Little World.
“Currently, the only known Violet Sun Golden Celestial who’s alive is Feng Wu Ji Guang from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom!”
“I suppose the other Violet Sun Golden Celestials whose Soul Pearl we don’t have are most likely dead as well…”
“I agree. Even if they’re still alive, I don’t think they would stay that way for long.”
“I didn’t expect the Little World to be so dangerous that even Violet Sun Golden Celestials can’t stay alive in there!”
“If only we waited longer for the first nine Violet Sun Golden Celestials to explore the Little World before sending the others in… Now, we’ve lost all the talented Violet Sun Golden Celestials below the age of 100!”
“No, one month should be more than enough time for them to explore the Little World… No one knew it would be so deadly after all.”
“Fortunately, the Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland are still alive!”
As the high-ranking officials of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland discussed among themselves, their eyes found their respective sect leaders. Two Soul Pearls could be seen hovering next to the sect leaders. The Soul Pearls belonged to the Great Overarching Golden Celestials below the age of 100 whom they had sent into the Little World.
