Those who jumped into the abyss had a great deal to do with those who were present. Naturally, no
one wanted to stay here and wait. It would be the most torturous ordeal.
Luckily, the Genbu Protector was incomparably familiar with the place. He knew which location it was
as soon as he heard it and also knew that there was a shortcut to that abyss, so the group of people all
followed.
âThe periphery of the True Martial Shrine has complex formations and organs. A slight wrong move and
one will be trapped, and accidents will happen. You were supposed to break into this section of the
road by yourself, but after the undying clan invaded, itâs different⦠Next, I will lead the way. Follow my
footsteps, and not one wrong step should be taken.â
The old man was already at the end of his life. He was on his last legs, and he was naturally as slow as
a turtle.
A group of people followed behind. Although they were very anxious, they were forced to control their
emotions.
Xerxes frankly said, âElder, how about this, I will carry you, and you will provide directions.â
The old man turned back and replied, âYoung man, do not be impatient.â
Xerxes was speechless. How could he not be anxious?
Saving his wife was paramount!
However, the old man just wanted to go by himself. âYou donât understand the mystery here. Without
me personally leading this path, you will never reach the abyss. It is because I am the leader here.â
Martiny said to Xerxes, âBear with him for now. Listen to the senior.â
She was praying that those who jumped down into the abyss would be safe and sound.
The jouniey was slow, really slower than the usual walk. Others could not see it, but Jamie could. There
was a faint ripple rippling out under the old manâs feet. He seemingly influenced the formation
underneath the passage whenever he took a step. He was a master of formation, and his perception of
formations was very strong.

He finally figured the details after looking for half a day. The passage they took was originally not there
but one new extended out of thin air.
This was the spell formation, the spatial formation. Underneath this extraordinary passage was likely to
be a bottomless abyss.
Along the way, they were idle.
Someone then asked the old man about the True Martial Shrine, wanting to know about the undying
creatures and the background of the undying clan.
The old man said, âThen Iâll tell you, the True Martial Shrine, in fact, is a place of trials, located in the
deepest parts of the True Martial Shrine. There is a ray of the True Martial Starlordâs spiritual
consciousness that conducts trials for everyone who enters. Those who pass the trials can get certain
rewards from the ancient times to the end of the ancient times, and so on.â
The crowd listened in awe and fascination.
Luna asked, âWhat is the reward?â
The old man said, âThis⦠I donât know because the trial here is arduous. In my memory, it seems that
only the Genbu Emperor in ancient times successfully passed the trial and got the reward. What
exactly, I donât know.â
The crowd walked behind the old man and looked at each other.
Claudia asked, âHow many have carried out the trial?â
The old man thought for a moment before replying. âIn total, 1,387,509 people.â
âWhat?!â
âSo many have tried, but only one actually passed? And the rest who tried are ordinary people?â
âThere are no ordinary people. Basically, more than ninety percent of the trialists have higher cultivation
than yours.â
When the people heard this, they went into meltdown. The success rate of this trial was too low. It
wasnât that difficult, but it was also not about letting people pass. The only one who passed couldâve
been lucky since the system had a temporary short circuit.
Initially, everyone wanted to try when they heard about a mysterious reward for passing the trial. Nowâ¦
Everyone did not want to.
Jamie asked, âSenior, I know Genbu Emperor. Who is this True Martial Starlord? Does anyone know?â
Jamie
Alex
No one present seemed to know the answer. The answer to that, however, made everyone even more
speechless, as the old man said that he didnât know either.
âNo way, senior. You are the leader here, the protector of the True Martial Shrine. How do you not know
who the True Martial Starlord is? Then, are you not⦠Leading blindly?â
Who knew if he might actually be leading them to their doom.
The old man shook his head: âDonât worry. You wonât get lost under my leadership. In the end, I am
only a descendant of the Genbu Emperor, ordered to watch over the True Martial Shrine here. As for
the True Martial Starlord, I am unclear who he is since I didnât pass the trial. However, I roughly guess
that the True Martial Starlord may not be from our universe, but from another one.â
