Chapter 288: Announcing the Trial to the other cultivators. As everyone received and assimilated their inheritances, treasures, or cultivation methods, time flew by in the secret realm. One day, two days, five days. Like water, time flowed without anything able to stop it. Eventually, two weeks went by inside the secret realm, reaching the one-month mark since the realm opened. Inside the town, everyone was doing their thing, getting stronger, gathering treasures, and doing many other activities. However, today was special since the Mayor and Mayoress of the Lost Town seemed to have something to announce. Using lost technology, Han Xue appeared in the town's sky, wearing a magnificent robe, and announced the next. "Welcome, respected immortals. I, the Mayoress of the Lost Town, have an announcement to make. As tradition says, at the one-month mark after the first Immortals arrive, we will announce the competition for the rarest and strongest treasure!" The cultivators began cheering and shouting. Han Xue smiled and said, "However, winning the best treasure is not that easy! There are various conditions to participate. First, you have to gather 300,000 Trial Points. Second, you must be above the fifth level of the Mental-Nourishing Realm. Third, you have to come to our main building and be respectful and ordered! Those that do not abide by the rules will be executed by the Divine Lightning! That's all." "Ha?" "300,000 Trial Points!? Insanity!" "That is impossible!" "What a scam!" "How is it possible to have 300,000 Points saved before the announcement? A normal person would use them as they get them!" Han Xue explained, "For those that do not have 300,000 Trial Points, there is a chance to participate as long as you gather the points required! Good luck." Then, with a wave of Han Xue's sleeve, her image in the sky disappeared. All the cultivators were silent for a second. Then, chaos ensued as every one of them began to run around. Those that didn't have that many points went to the Monoliths, and those that had them went toward the gathering place.

However, unlike the first days, this didn't startle other cultivators as they were at least ten cultivators dying daily toward the Divine lightning. It was a nice cleansing method, to be honest. Three hours later, Han Xue gathered a group of cultivators that wanted to challenge it. They were those that luckily had 300,000 Trial Points gathered. One of them asked, somewhat impatient, "Oy! Mayoress, when are we going to enter that Trial?" Han Xue looked at the man that spoke and smiled, "Do not be hasty. I wanted to make sure that no one was left behind." Another shouted, "Just guide us in. Those that don't come can only blame themselves!" Han Xue lost her smile and articulated, "Listen here, little immortal. You are in my house, so don't you dare order me around. Am I clear?" Although she was a mortal, her tone gave an authoritative feeling that not even cultivators could ignore. However, that man thought that Han Xue couldn't do anything, so he sneered, "What can you do? As long as I don't do harm to you, you can't do anything, little mortal." Han Xue pointed up with her index finger and then waved it down. For them, it was slow. No matter how sudden, the movement of a mortal wouldn't startle any cultivator above the Body Modification Realm. Still, no one stopped it. The man maintained his sneer until Han Xue's finder finally pointed toward the ground. "Yasenia Dravory. A dragon-raced female with divine beauty and strength. Truly, someone blessed by the Heavens since birth." Han Xue maintained her expression and heart in check. She knew some cultivators could even pick up the heart rate to detect emotions. She said with a face filled with interest, "She really is beautiful, the most beautiful woman I've seen. To be honest, as long as she has walked through the gates of our town, I'm sure to find her. I will look into the matter after you enter the Trial." Long Baidi cupped his fists and nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Han Xue. Also, I would recommend not getting into direct contact with her. Even if a high-level painter created this image, it can't truly catch the level of charm she has. Tempting mortals to do her bidding should be as easy as flipping her hair." Han Xue chuckled and said, placing one hand on her mouth, "You sure exaggerate." However, internally she sneered at the "painter." 'This really is a shitty painting. I could write a better illustration with my eyes closed. It doesn't catch her charm, charisma, or natural seductiveness. Fuck, I really want to rip it apart; it is basically an insult!' Han Xue returned it to him and casually said, "It is very well painted; I wonder who is the one who did it?" 'I really want to make lightning rain on them.' The woman that had been silent behind Long Baidi interjected with a gentle and soothing tone. "It was me, Mrs. Han Xue." Han Xue looked at the beautiful and saintly woman and asked with a smile, "Who may you be?" 'Should I kill her? Painting Yasenia like that is basically an insult as if... Oh? Did she paint her like that because she wanted to make her look worse than herself? She is more than she looks.' Han Xue's eyes cunningly flashed as she listened, "My name is Tang Xian. I'm from the Tang family, allied with Baidi's family on the outside. A pleasure to meet you." Han Xue said with a smile, "You were able to capture the beauty of Yasenia really well. If she were more beautiful, it would have really been surreal." Tang Xian answered with a small laugh, "Thank you, I've done my best to paint her." Han Xue was amused, 'She has changed my compliment toward Yasenia for a compliment toward her painting skills? Shameless! It is a shame that we've reached, or I would have loved to taunt her more.' After they reached the crypt-like hall, every cultivator spread in the room. It had a capacity for thousands of people, so it didn't look crowded even with four hundred people. Han Xue looked at the gathered cultivators and said, "To enter the Trial, you all must position yourselves in one of the circles drawn on the ground. Do not fight with each other since there are more than 1,000 teleportation circles across the room." "Also, do not begin thinking that choosing different circles will make a trial easier or harder. So don't take too long to choose." The four hundred cultivators listened and positioned themselves on the circles drawn on the floor. However, when Han Xue was about to tell them the method of entry. Two teleportation circles that weren't marked on the floor appeared and shone brightly, creating a one-meter-wide light pillar. From them, two women appeared. Everyone was confused. Han Xue's expression became complicated, and she was somewhat anxious. 'I hope meeting with these people doesn't trouble her. Most importantly, has she won? Or has the other person won?' The four hundred cultivators looked confused at those two, but most people's eyes suddenly widened when they recognized one of those two. Their current state was the polar opposite. One of them was confused, while the other was looking calmly at the surroundings.
