To Be Celestial's Emperor II
30/30
When in the room, Zhen Yuan could feel an illusionary formation immediately enveloping him. It was a grade-4 formation, Zhen Yuan might be able to destroy it if he tried hard but it was clearly not the purpose of his test.
The formation then led Zhen Yuan towards a green plain, the breeze and the warm weather became very real in nature by Zhen Yuan. Before long, the shaking felt at the bottom of the ground grew stronger and stronger until something appeared from there.
Around thousands of skeletons of bones rose up and began to move towards Zhen Yuan. A voice rang out in Zhen Yuan's ear. “Destroy all evil and bring peace around the world! Successfully defeating a thousand skeletons will make you the Protector of the Island, after which the longer it lasts the higher your level among the island protectors and the greater the responsibility you will receive. Of course great responsibility will come along with the services and rewards that equal” The voice then disappears.
“This skeleton exudes the aura of a True Wisdom realm! If it faced them one by one then even a Wise Master would be able to pass through it. However if they attacked in groups with large numbers even the Early Sages would not be easy. Not to mention they had to destroy a thousand skeletons, a weak Early Sage cultivator would not be able to survive that much.”
Zhen Yuan finished analyzing, “At first I was worried it was difficult to pass his test, if it was ordinary cultivators maybe they could not. But different from me, look and to what extent I can cope with them”
Zhen Yuan unleashed all of his techniques, the Flying Sword, the Emperor Spear and the other 3 techniques that were put together into a Storm of Rage. With all three techniques, within a distance of 100 meters, the entire skeleton was crushed into dust. Even so, there will still be other skeletons advancing in place of those who were destroyed. It kept repeating until Zhen Yuan reached the number 1000.
Just when it reached the number one thousand, Zhen Yuan could feel the skeleton growing stronger. Sure enough, his entire technique could now only crush a skeleton within 50 meters to become dust.
“It seems that after reaching the specified number then they will become even stronger. Well, of course the more we destroy the higher our tiers” Zhen Yuan remembers the sound.
The longer, the skeleton was getting harder to destroy. The distance was also getting closer and was now less than 10 meters and every skeleton was now as strong as a layer 3 Wise cultivator. Zhen Yuan felt it was time to stop, he should not be too imposing and become higher than this.
After that the illusion formation vanished and he was ejected from the room. Outside the room the Demon Emperor had been waiting for him along with the guards who had brought them to the examination site. The two then followed the guard towards an elder who was apparently meditating.
“He is the Head of the Island Protector Exam, the voice you hear is none other than his voice and the formation that is in the room is also his master” the guard introduced.
Their arrival was immediately noticed by the Exam Head, he opened his eyes and a formation energy tore through the void that was in front of him. It was very simple yet Zhen Yuan could see the power created from it.
“You both passed the test, the Demon Emperor managed to defeat 1500 skeletons and Zhen Yuan defeated 3000 skeletons. You two will become medium-ranked Island Protectors!” said it.
A circle formation formed two pieces of bright green colored badges which then headed towards Zhen Yuan and the Demon Emperor.
“Devil Emperor becomes a rank 981 Intermediate Lower Island Protector and Zhen Yuan has Formation ability and a grade 5 Pill is a Rank 10 Intermediate Protector! Protector Island is divided into 10 levels with each level consisting of 1000 protectors.
Starting from the Basic Island Protector, Very Low, Low, Low, Lower Medium, Medium, Medium, Upper, Upper, High, and Peak. Basic to Low-Loss Protectors were given the wealth of a Thousand Red Crystals a year, a grade-5 Weapon, and a mountain. While the Lower to Upper Middle Medium were given Three thousand Red crystals a year, a grade 5 Weapon, and a Mountain Range.”
“Medali it has the use of expending unique energy to pass through the fog of the Island Center, besides they also show your position on the Paradise Group Island.” Further.
After receiving the medallion, Zhen Yuan and the Demon Emperor proceeded to earn their reward. To Zhen Yuan, it was nothing much. It has a lot of red crystals and can make top quality 5th class weapons.
After receiving their gifts, Zhen Yuan and the Demon Emperor met again with Protector Wang Jian and the elder who accompanied them earlier. Although he did not mention his name, Wang Jian called him brother, which meant that the elder was familiar and close to Wang's protector.
“How did it go? And what level are you guys at?!” Wang Jian was so excited to see Zhen Yuan and the Demon Emperor again. He even deliberately reported his mission quickly hoping it wasn't too late.
Zhen Yuan smiled faintly, he and the Demon Emperor showed their medals to Wang Jian and made both Wang Jian and the elder surprised.
