Tan Yun's brow furrowed as he listened to Shen Subing's words.
"He should not have encountered any issues, as the ancestor master of the Eternal Immortal Sect, after acquiring the Eternal Divine Sword, reportedly escaped with great difficulty."
"When he returned to the Eternal Immortal Sect, he spent several hundred years healing before he fully recovered. Under normal circumstances, he would not dare to take such risks again, especially since the higher one's cultivation level in the Abyss of the Buried Gods, the stronger the destructive power one must face."
"As for how you should act after the trial begins, obey Tan Yun's arrangements."
With that, Shen Subing turned to leave, handing the time over to Tan Yun.
"Everyone, now follow me into the map jade tablet and memorize the coordinates." With Tan Yun's command, the disciples released their spiritual senses and entered the map jade tablet.
Immediately, a miniature version of the trial area map appeared vividly in their minds. On the map, forests, jungles, plains, swamps, undulating mountains, and valleys were clearly visible.
At the center of the map was a black line running across it, undoubtedly marking the Abyss of the Buried Gods!
After a moment, everyone memorized the main map coordinates and withdrew their spiritual senses from the map jade tablet, turning their gaze to Tan Yun.
Tan Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Once we enter the eternal land, remember to head towards the jungle located 300,000 miles east of the Abyss of the Buried Gods at the fastest speed possible. When the time comes, we will think of ways to deal with the enemies from the Divine Soul Celestial Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect, ultimately annihilating them before we enter the Abyss of the Buried Gods together! Understand?"
"Understood!" The disciples answered in unison. Of course, they were currently shielded by a soundproof barrier, so the disciples from the other eight meridians could not hear their meeting location.
...
At the same time, the other eight chiefs were also explaining and reminding their disciples who were participating in the eternal land trial...
The next day, at the first hour of the day, the moonlight gradually became bright.
Zhong Wu Shiyao and Xue Ziyan walked side by side and approached Tan Yun's group. After Tan Yun informed the two of the meeting location, he instructed them not to tell anyone from the Artifact Lineage or the Five Soul Lineage.
Zhong Wu Shiyao gently said, "Tan Yun, Senior Sister Gongsun has always been good to me. Can we call her over? I'm worried she might encounter danger if she doesn't join us."
Tan Yun thought for a moment and replied, "You can tell her privately later; it’s not suitable to call her over now. If Murong Shishi finds out, she will think too much."
...
Gongsun Ruoxi stood alone on the cliff at the summit, looking particularly lonely under the moonlight. She occasionally glanced at Zhong Wu Shiyao, who was chatting and laughing with Tan Yun, a hint of bitterness and envy appearing on her stunning face...
Half an hour later.
The bright moonlight fell on Zhong Wu Shiyao's graceful figure as she gracefully approached Gongsun Ruoxi's side and softly asked, "Senior Sister Gongsun, would you like to join us in the eternal land trial?"
Gongsun Ruoxi's body trembled slightly as she suddenly turned her head back, hesitating as if lost in thought.
"Senior Sister~" Zhong Wu Shiyao took Gongsun Ruoxi's delicate hands, her face filled with concern, "You are so beautiful; if you fall into the hands of the disciples from the Eternal Immortal Sect or the Divine Soul Celestial Palace, what will happen?"
"Stop hesitating. It's decided! Join us for the trial." After Zhong Wu Shiyao finished speaking, Gongsun Ruoxi nodded heavily.
Then, Zhong Wu Shiyao told Gongsun Ruoxi the meeting location in the eternal land, reminding her not to disclose it to anyone.
Gongsun Ruoxi gladly accepted.
Tonight, the mood of the disciples from all lineages was undoubtedly heavy.
They knew that in past trials in the eternal land, although there had often been friction with the disciples of the Divine Soul Celestial Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect over heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it was nothing significant.
