Chapter 3626 End Of The First Trial?

Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley blinked at each other.

The eight steps took their cultivation away and regressed them to Level One Immortal King Stage and the ninth step sealed their prowess. There were nine seals in their dantian, each one corresponding to lowering their cultivation base by one but the ninth one sealed their prowess.

This meant that they were no different than average immortal cultivators now who could no more than battle one or two levels higher counting on the ability of their laws and techniques.

"I'm at Level Eight Immortal King Stage, so even the eighth step would've caused my prowess to be sealed if I'm right..."

Evelynn shared her doubts through soul transmission.

They didn't want anyone to hear what the ninth step entailed, or it would become a great disadvantage for them, but most importantly, they didn't want to let Davis know about this grave matter, or he would be worried sick and invade the Stairway of Regression.

"Let's not look at him. Our gaze would give it away." Isabella said.

"Yes." Shirley nodded.

Evelynn giggled, still looking confident, "We're screwed, but looking at another perspective, we have nothing more to lose. Let's go." Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Shirley patted her robe and gestured, "Let's go~"

She didn't relay anything of concern about her health, leaving the both of them a bit suspicious before they followed her. They made it to the altar quickly and couldn't help but look back.

From there, they could no longer see Davis, but they knew he was watching them from the projection. Therefore, they waved at him before turning around and entering the spatial vortex.

"..."

Davis saw them leave.

He couldn't shake the feeling that the ninth step held something more cruel, even if it offered a great boon. There was no gain without risks, and he could see that being implemented in the Stairway of Regression, where people were punished for being capable and talented.

'Does this have anything to do with World Master being a cripple once...?'

Davis wondered if she was teaching them a lesson or needed an inheritor who could display outstanding results when forced to be in the same situation as her. However, if she needed such an inheritor, wouldn't crippling all of them or creating an illusion formation that makes them cripple be better?

'Well, I guess that would just make them mortals and not geniuses who spent years and fortune researching a whole new cultivation method...'

Davis inwardly laughed at himself.

All he could do was wait and watch right now, but he still hadn't forgotten his duties.

After the Stairway of Regression, the first trial ended, he was allowed to leave along with everyone else. He could enter the Immortal Dreams Palace as well.

"Not for you~"

He checked it out but was personally kicked out by the World Master, making him inwardly cry. He should've known it coming since the World Master told him to stay put and not really train.

He was just being allowed to spend time with his family in the First Haven World, not to pull some stunts and attract calamities.

Still, he wasn't going to sit still. He brought back his main body and began cultivating while his soul avatar kept an eye on things and could allow him to react with full force at a moment's notice.

On the other side of the spatial vortex, nine hundred and sixteen candidates floated in a dark space. There was ample distance between each of them, about a hundred meters per body. They all seemed to be asleep, seemingly digesting their gains from the Stairway of Regression.

Evelynn, Isabella and Shirley were also here. They didn't appear to be conscious and neither did Zenova Artoria or anyone for that matter.

At the same time, their spatial rings and other rings and any foreign object except their clothes disappeared. If they had armor, it also got taken away, leaving them draped in white cloth.

Finally, three motes of light entered their bodies, and after some time, their bodies all glowed before disappearing somewhere.
