303: Trial Conference Opens

Mu Feng had already taken a tuoyuan pill once before.

He was quite familiar with its effects.

These five tuoyuan pills should allow his internal magic power to rise another Rank.

Picking up the tuoyuan pill, Mu Feng swallowed it.

He then circulated his Cultivation Technique to refine it.

Time flew by.

When the sunlight of the second day shone into his Immortal Cave, Mu Feng walked out of the cultivation room with an excited expression.

In addition to the great increase in his internal True Qi, he also had seventy to eighty purple Thunder Beads in his hand.

These were precisely what he had refined last night using more than ten lightning-drawing wood.

It cost him four to five hundred thousand Spirit Stone.

Now, he had no Spirit Stone left.

A night of extravagance had turned him from a rich man back into a pauper.

However, Mu Feng didn't care.

Spirit Stone, if lost, could be earned again; the Trial Tournament was about to begin, and immediate combat power was what mattered.

With these seventy to eighty Thunder Beads, each equivalent to a full-strength blow from a Core Formation Cultivator, Mu Feng was confident that even facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator would not be a problem.

Putting away the Thunder Beads, Mu Feng then checked the condition of his Golden Core.

After taking five tuoyuan pills last night, his Golden Core's capacity had increased by about half.

It was quite Heaven-Defying.

Just from the amount of magic power and True Qi stored in his Golden Core, he should be no weaker than a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator.

As for combat power, there was even less to say.

He felt that if he used all of his methods, conservatively speaking, dealing with ten ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators simultaneously should not be an issue.

Mu Feng stretched, preparing to inject his Divine Sense to check on the two pets in his spirit beast bag, when the long-unseen announcement sounded again.

【Announcement: There is still one hour until the Trial Tournament begins. Please pay attention to the time and do not miss the entry window.】

【The entrance to the Trial Tournament is in the Immortal Cave Hall of all players. The entrance will only be open for half an hour. Players below Nascent Soul can choose to enter or not enter. Players above Nascent Soul cannot enter.】

【The Trial Tournament is a limited-time event, lasting five days. Once inside, you can only come out after it ends. Resources are abundant, with countless Materials, and Cultivation Technique and Magic Treasure are five times more numerous than in outside Cave Secret Realm, but the danger is also the same, so please enter cautiously.】

【Resources obtained in the Trial Tournament will be counted. After the Trial Tournament ends, the System will announce the top 100,000 players with the best resource scores and give them rewards.】

【Rewards are divided into seven tiers: 100,000th to 10,000th place is the sixth-tier reward, 10,000th to 1,000th place is the fifth-tier reward, 1,000th to 100th place is the fourth-tier reward, 100th to 30th place is the third-tier reward, 30th to 10th place is the second-tier reward, and the top ten rewards all include items that increase the chance of forming a Nascent Soul, but higher Ranks receive more generous rewards.】

【In addition to individual rewards, for all players participating in the Trial Tournament, if there is a player from their world who enters the top hundred, the entire world will receive treasure chest rewards. The higher the Rank of a player from their world in the top hundred, the more generous the treasure chest rewards will be. Rewards can be stacked (for example, if several players in the top hundred are from the same world, an additional reward will be issued), to increase everyone's sense of participation.】

【Finally, we wish everyone good results in this Trial Tournament, and that you come out alive.】

The announcement was very long.

However, the rules were basically the same as the last Nationwide Great Secret Realm.

Only the final reward was slightly different.

Previously, everyone's points were calculated together, focusing more on overall strength.

Now, it focused more on individual ability.

So, as soon as this news came out, some rejoiced and some worried.

"One more hour, good! My great saber is already thirsty!"

"Only the top ten get Nascent Soul rewards? Then the competition this time will be even more intense. I wonder how many Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators will die in the end."

"Normal. Cultivation itself is going against the Dao. Dying on the way is also normal. Better a Fellow Daoist die than me, as long as it's not me."

"Actually, as long as you don't go to the final Mystic Heaven Tower, Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators are still very safe."

"What you're saying is, it's safer not to go in. Who isn't going in to compete for that sliver of Opportunity?"

"This time, rewards are based on the top hundred ranking of players from your world. Aren't those at the top going to make a fortune?"

"You can't say that. It's been a long time since the last Trial Tournament. The powerful ones have already formed their Nascent Soul. So, except for the newest worlds, the remaining strengths are all similar."

"That's true. After all, it's about Core Formation players, not the highest combat power."

.....

If the central area was a mix of joy and sorrow, then the players in Mu Feng's world channel were more confused and puzzled.

"Huh? How is this group reward so strange? Worlds with top hundred players get rewards? What does this mean? Does it mean everyone gets it?"

"I remember last time it said 'area', why is it 'world' this time? Doesn't that mean everyone can get a hundred rewards?"

"Is it possible that besides our world, there are many other generations of players participating together?"

"Hiss? No way, wouldn't that mean a huge number of people entering inside?"

"Are there any knowledgeable Seniors who know what's going on?"

"@Mu Feng, Senior Mu Feng, do you know what's going on?"

.....

Many people in the world channel tagged Mu Feng to come out.

However, Mu Feng did not appear.

Instead, Li Hengkong stepped forward.

"I know what's going on. You guessed right. There are indeed more than just our generation in this Cave World. There are many generations. After everyone reaches Core Formation and upgrades their Immortal Cave to Advanced Immortal Cave, they can take the Immortal Cave teleportation gate to the new map."

"And then I'll tell you some bad news. Our generation is actually the latest. There are only about a hundred Core Formation players right now, but in the central areas of other worlds, Nascent Soul Late Stage players are as numerous as cattle hair."

"Our most powerful Mu Feng is only at the Dan Formation, and he's as common as can be in the central area. So, don't even think about that world reward. Also, this Trial Tournament, like the previous ones, is divided into three layers. The outer layer is the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment activity area, while the central area is rampant with Core Formation Yao Beasts. If your strength isn't enough, definitely don't go to the central area. Just stay in the outer layer and observe. If you're lucky, there should be quite a few rewards."

As soon as he said this, the players in the world channel instantly boiled over.

"Holy moly, there's even a central area? And it's full of Core Formation players?"

"It's over, doesn't that mean we're out of luck for this world reward?"

"Ah, this? Players from the 186 Area express their heartache. We originally thought we could piggyback on Senior Mu Feng's rewards again this time."

"Barbie Q'd! Aren't we going to be cannon fodder?"

"Huh? There are players from other worlds too?"

"I believe in Senior Mu Feng! Maybe Senior Mu Feng can create a miracle!"

"I think you're dreaming. Didn't Senior Li Hengkong say that Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators are as numerous as cattle hair in the central area? You don't actually think Mu Feng can get a top hundred ranking among so many Nascent Soul Late Stage Seniors, do you?"

"That's true. The gap is too big. If Senior Mu Feng were Nascent Soul Late Stage, there might still be a tiny chance."

"Don't even think about it. Even if he were Nascent Soul Late Stage, it's impossible. They entered so much earlier than us, they must have countless powerful Magic Treasure and stuff. No matter how powerful Mu Feng is, he can't be in the top hundred."
