The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 95 - Second Stage Exam, Inner First Region of the Demon Forest
The place of the second stage examination of the reception of the Demon Ghost Sect disciples this time was in the first level forest region. These would-be disciples could only move freely within a thirty mile radius.
They were allowed to fight, kill, hunt, and harvest the treasures they obtained for themselves and they were also allowed to hide in one place for a month without doing anything.
The path of Devil Dao cultivation was filled with difficulties and dangers. One needs courage and perseverance to increase their strength in a state of life and death. A cultivator could hide for a month for their life but not a lifetime. Therefore, a Demon Dao cultivator had to face danger directly and real
In the first region, there was the ghost of the first realm of Vein Opening. Killing one of those ghosts would give them some points. Killing a ghost below the early stage Vein Opening realm would give them one point. As for killing the middle realm phantom opening vein, they would gain two points, whereas for those who killed the late stage spirit opening vein realm, they would gain ten points.
The difficulty level will increase as the realm of the ghosts inside the huta gets higher and the rewards they get will also be higher.
Killing the Ghost realm of the early stage Harmonic Spirit Realm was worth a hundred points, killing a middle stage Harmonious Spirit realm phantom would earn as much as two hundred points, killing a late stage Harmonic Spirit Realm ghost was worth five hundred points and lastly, if killing a peak stage Harmonic Spirit Realm ghost upwards would gain a thousand points.
However, they had to enter the second region within the demon forest to find the ghosts of the Harmonious Spirit Realm realm. Of course, it was not a place where these would-be new disciples could enter the second region. Even the realm elders of the Harmonious Spirit Realm needed to be careful when they entered the second region of the inner forest.
In addition to their exams this time hunting ghosts to get kunstribution coins, these students can also choose to harvest some herbs. The first region is planted with many herbs that are mostly ten years old. Usually, by getting herbs as little as twelve kilograms can be exchanged for one contribution point.
The moment they all entered the interior of the forest, they were all instantly scattered and spread out. Most of them choose to go alone, while some of them have made groups with their friends. As for the twenty supervisors accompanying these disciples, they hid in a not-so-obtrusive place to monitor the movements of all the current second examinees. They would not interfere with anything that happened unless the situation became very critical.
This second stage exam will last for a month, but if one of these prospective disciples leaves the forest within that time frame. He would automatically be disqualified and lose his identity as a sect disciple.
The atmosphere in the region of the first part of the Demon Forest looked moist, dull tanha and dark scenery. Some of them could sense that some ghosts were staring at them.
Qing Shan watched the surrounding situation while holding a black-colored jade disc. He was reading the ancient map given by Xiao Mei.
There are nine regions that have been divided and marked on the map. Three regions have been marked with locations where herbs and also signs of danger, but only half of the fourth region marked with dotted marks. It must have been where the ancestors of the previous sect founders had been injured, so back then the previous ancestors of the demon ghost sect founders must have stopped in the region and had not ventured further into the forest.
"There must be a ghost that was even more terrifying than the phantom king after the fourth realm. I did not expect that this forest was so unusual. I wonder what is hidden in the deeper part of the region.!"
Suddenly a beam of light was sent from the necklace in Qing Shan's dantian, as if the necklace noticed something interesting in this forest.
"It couldn't be the Heavenly Ice Demon Qi energy but it might be many times greater than the heavenly Ice Demon Qi energy.!"
Fortunately, Xiao Mei had given him a map, or he might have gone to a dangerous area or one that no one had explored yet to find anything, given his excessive curiosity.
When that happened, he would not know how he would die in this terrifying Forest.
Of the hundred and sixty prospective disciples, none of them dared to cooperate with Qing Shan after knowing his identity. There were some women who were also after her, hoping to marry a man with such a great background like Qing Shan. But the problem was that this Qing Shan was not interested in these women even if they offered themselves to him.
As he was deep in thought, Qing Shan had unknowingly already walked deeper into the region. On the way, he had found ten-year-old herbs but they did not attract his attention. Qing Shan continued to walk further into the first region and a few ghosts of the early level of the Vein Opener realm sneaked up on him all of a sudden.
Swosshhh. swoshhh. - swoshhh...!
Qing Shan had only slashed these ghosts with his Sword. Within about 20 breaths, fifteen ghosts were killed and his contribution points had reached twenty points.
As he killed the fifteenth ghost, Qing Shan's eyes twinkled as he saw a nail-sized soul bead appear in the shadow of ghostly dust scattering in the air.
Those soul beads were illusions but had spiritual spirits. Qing Shan muttered something and opened his mouth to eat it. A moment later, he was stunned. These soul beads had slightly strengthened his spiritual senses..
"If this is true, could there be a legacy in this deepest region of the forest? Now, I can hunt ghosts that can increase my spirit energy. Then I can't be here casually. How can you let one of these precious ghosts go? I'll start my hunt from this first section of territory.!"
Qing Shan's eyeballs moved to the left and to nanan. He smiled slightly as his feet stepped into an ice light while holding the sword in his hand. Then, the icy light was seen stretching from the path he had left through this dark and cold forest, while killing every ghost he encountered.
....
"Hooaaahhhhhh!!!!"
In the Martial Arts Hall of the Demon Ghost Sect, an elder in charge of the hall was currently lazily yawning. He was the Elder in charge of the hall, Elder Zhen Meng.
Laziness is one of its natural properties. He was an intermediate stage Harmonic Spirit realm elder but chose the most duty-free and relaxed occupation to guard the Martial Arts Hall.
The Martial Arts Hall was a place where sect disciples would exchange their contributions for treasures. For example various cultivation techniques, weapons, pills and herbs.
