Chapter 1024 - 1024 Breaking Through Three Trials
Countless gazes all fell upon Chi Hongyu.
As one of the most prominent figures in the Demon Barbarian Continent, Chi Hongyu's every move drew considerable attention.
Not to mention he had a certain "dark history" at Tushan.
It was a memory Chi Hongyu himself had no wish to recall.
But now, Chi Hongyu's expression was calm and composed.
Times had changed.
This time Chi Hongyu had come with the goal of winning himself a beautiful wife.
Perhaps even more than one.
Within Tushan, lanterns and decorations filled the air, fireworks lit up the sky, and the atmosphere was lively beyond compare.
Tens of thousands of flowing banquet tables were spread throughout.
Countless Tushan fox clan maidens, with fox tails swaying behind them and beauty unmatched, carried jade platters of delicacies to the tables.
The sight left many of the male prodigies who had come utterly dazzled.
The women of the Tushan fox clan were renowned far and wide for their beauty, and even these ordinary maidens were so captivating.
It was hard to imagine what kind of grace the Five Beauties of Tushan must possess.
As for those prodigies of noble imperial and quasi-imperial clans, they were naturally seated in the VIP section.
The Imperial Son of Anlan suddenly walked over to the side of the Heavenly Maiden Pukui.
His hair radiated a brilliant glow, his features were strikingly handsome, and his entire bearing was otherworldly.
The Anlan Imperial Clan, a renowned immortal imperial clan from the foreign realm.
Their ancient ancestor Anlan had shaken the heavens with a single Anlan Spear.
As the Imperial Son of the Anlan Imperial Clan, he too was peerless and extraordinary, ranked among the Seven Minor Emperors.
"Heavenly Maiden Pukui, have you heard a certain piece of news recently?" the Imperial Son of Anlan asked with a meaningful look.
Heavenly Maiden Pukui was dressed in a verdant green gown, her true form being the Pumo Tree.
She had come here not to seek a marriage partner, but wondering whether she might run into a certain person.
"You mean the Imperial Son of Shishen." Heavenly Maiden Pukui had clearly heard as well.
Among figures of their caliber, the intelligence networks behind them were all formidable.
"The Imperial Son of Shishen was killed by the Chaos Physique in the Tianmu Continent."
"The Shishen Clan had a powerful figure fly into a rage and move to act against the Chaos Physique, but was ultimately stopped." said the Imperial Son of Anlan.
"Could it have been the Divine Ao King of the War God Academy again?" Heavenly Maiden Pukui was somewhat curious.
It was already common knowledge that the Divine Ao King of the War God Academy was quite protective of the Chaos Physique.
"No, it was the Yixie Clan." said the Imperial Son of Anlan.
"The Yixie Clan, that group with some connection to the Unspeakable Place." Heavenly Maiden Pukui showed a look of surprise.
The Yixie Clan was likewise an immortal imperial clan.
But what made them special was their slight connection to the Unspeakable Place, making them an exceptionally mysterious lineage.
"But the Yixie Clan doesn't seem to have any particular relationship with the Chaos Physique. How could they possibly shield him from the Shishen Clan?" Heavenly Maiden Pukui found it very strange.
"It should be related to the Chaos Physique's identity as one of the Six Kings of World Destruction. I've heard that within the Yixie Clan, there also seems to be an awakened king." said the Imperial Son of Anlan.
"I see. It seems that in our realm, no one dares to provoke the Chaos Physique anymore." Heavenly Maiden Pukui sighed softly.
The War God Academy, the Yixie Clan, plus the mysterious immortal being behind the Chaos Physique.
In the foreign realm, aside from the ultimate imperial clans, who would truly dare to kill the Chaos Physique?
"Your purpose in coming this time — could it not be for that Chaos Physique?" the Imperial Son of Anlan's gaze was deep and penetrating.
"Indeed. Our clan's prodigy Puyao previously provoked the Chaos Physique, and now I'm wondering whether we can ease the tension with him."
"After all, he has already killed two of the Seven Minor Emperors. I'm afraid I might suddenly be next." Heavenly Maiden Pukui said honestly.
She was genuinely a little afraid.
The Seven Minor Emperors, whose names shook the foreign realm.
Being cut down one by one by Jun Xiaoyao as though he were slaughtering chickens.
Heavenly Maiden Pukui feared she wouldn't know when her turn might come.
"But he hasn't shown up yet either. Who knows whether we'll even get to see the Chaos Physique this time." the Imperial Son of Anlan shook his head.
Shortly after, an elder of the Tushan Imperial Clan appeared.
"Welcome, everyone, to our Tushan. This marriage-seeking gathering has been arranged to find worthy husbands and good matches for our five princesses."
"Naturally, any man who wishes to become a son-in-law of Tushan must be one in ten million, surpassing all others of his generation."
"Next, Tushan will set up three trials, which anyone may participate in."
"Those who pass will be eligible to be chosen by the princesses."
As the Tushan Imperial Clan elder finished speaking, formation patterns surged throughout Tushan.
Amid flashes of radiant light, three distinct areas faintly materialized.
"These three trials are respectively the Illusory Realm, the Ten Thousand Beast Formation, and the Embroidered Ball Battle."
"Those who wish to become a son-in-law of Tushan and are willing to participate may enter the formations."
The moment the Tushan Imperial Clan elder's words fell.
Countless sounds of wind being cleaved through immediately rang out across heaven and earth.
Prodigies of every clan, dense as a school of fish crossing a river, surged into the formations.
"Ha, I'll go join in the fun and see if I can find a good match." the Imperial Son of Anlan smiled faintly and stepped off into the void.
Heavenly Maiden Pukui naturally had no reason to participate.
She sighed softly and gazed toward the horizon. "Is he not coming?"
Elsewhere, a faint smile played at the corner of Chi Hongyu's lips.
Having been guided by the Chi Xiao King.
In terms of sheer strength alone, he was no less than a prodigy at the level of the Seven Minor Emperors.
So today, at the very least, he would secure one of the Five Beauties.
If luck was on his side, winning the favor of two was not out of the question.
After all, the difference between who he was now and who he had been before was like heaven and earth.
Surely no woman who laid eyes on him could help but be amazed and full of admiration.
Soon, the trials began.
The first trial, the Illusory Realm, naturally tested one's character, mental fortitude, spirit, and soul.
In some ways, it was similar to the Hundred Lives Reincarnation that Jun Xiaoyao had once experienced in the Reincarnation Sea.
Of course, the intensity of this was nowhere near comparable to the Hundred Lives Reincarnation.
Still, a considerable portion of the prodigies became trapped within it, raving and babbling, unable to free themselves, making a complete spectacle of themselves.
"Without even the most basic strength of character, what right do you have to become a son-in-law of Tushan?"
The Tushan Imperial Clan elder watched this scene with a cold inward laugh.
The high branches of an immortal imperial clan were not so easily climbed.
Not every nobody could pull off a reversal of fortune.
Of course, there were also those who performed brilliantly.
The Imperial Son of Anlan, for instance, walked straight through the Illusory Realm as though strolling through empty space, without even a moment's pause.
Chi Hongyu was the same.
There were also other prodigies from imperial and quasi-imperial clans who performed quite impressively.
The second trial was called the Ten Thousand Beast Formation.
Within it were ferocious beasts woven together from countless formation patterns.
Most possessed the strength of quasi-supremes or supremes.
Some even reached the level of supreme grand completion.
Clearly, this was a test of one's true foundation and power.
This trial eliminated yet another large wave of prodigies who lacked sufficient strength and were all show with no substance.
And while these prodigies were making their way through the trials.
Deep within Tushan, at the highest peak, inside a lavish palace atop the clouds.
Five women of strikingly different grace and bearing were gathered there.
Before them, a curtain of light floated in the air, clearly reflecting the images of the prodigies making their way through the trials.
A somewhat languid voice rose from behind them.
"My daughters, which one has caught your eye?"
