Chapter 1039: Chapter 655: Netherworld Jade Token, Unfathomable, Anomaly and Calamity (Part 2)

If you can enter the Primordial Spirit Realm in the future, there’s a high possibility you’ll soar to the skies, becoming one of those dazzling top-tier Primordial Spirit Great Powers.

Therefore, he was quite willing to establish some good rapport with him in advance.

Lu Qing thought for a moment before looking up and saying, “Senior, I wonder if the junior could convert this reward into Spirit Stones?”

“Convert into Spirit Stones?”

The Fierce Beast Masked Man was taken aback, not expecting Lu Qing to suddenly ask this.

“Yes, the junior is in need of Spirit Stones recently, so I wonder if it’s possible?”

“It is possible, but have you considered carefully? The items of the Netherworld Palace are not something you can easily buy outside, even with Spirit Stones. If you convert it into Spirit Stones, once you leave here, wanting to exchange it back for your reward at the same price would be impossible.”

“The junior is determined, I ask Senior to please grant this request.” Lu Qing said seriously.

The Fierce Beast Masked Man gave Lu Qing a deep look, then finally nodded, “I don’t mind, as long as you don’t regret it later.”

With that, he produced a Storage Bag in his hand and tossed it to Lu Qing.

“Here are three thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, check if the amount is correct.”

“Thank you, Senior.”

Lu Qing took the Storage Bag and stored it directly without counting.

The Fierce Beast Masked Man didn’t bother with this small gesture either: “Alright, now that you’ve received your reward, do you have anything else you want to ask?”

Lu Qing thought for a moment and then shook his head, “The junior has no other questions.”

He naturally had many doubts in his heart, but he understood that since the other party didn’t voluntarily say anything, there was no need to ask.

Otherwise, if he were to ask rashly and violate some taboo, it would not be worth the loss.

Anyway, he had already achieved his purpose for participating in this trial.

“Since you have no other questions, then prepare to leave, little one. Make good use of your Netherworld Jade Token, if your assassination level is high enough, perhaps we will meet again someday.”

With those words, the Fierce Beast Masked Man brushed his sleeve, and a surge of Spatial Power immediately enveloped Lu Qing.

Lu Qing did not resist, allowing the power to envelop him and lead him into a spatial vortex.

From beginning to end, the Fierce Beast Masked Man never even asked Lu Qing to remove his mask before sending him out.

Once Lu Qing’s figure completely disappeared, the Fierce Beast Masked Man remained standing there unmoving.

Suddenly, a soft breeze stirred, and more than a dozen shadows appeared behind him—they were the mysterious figures who had been watching the entire trial process in the Mysterious Space.

“How was it, having close contact with that kid, what’s your impression?” one shadow asked.

“Can’t see through him.” The Fierce Beast Masked Man shook his head, “That kid is like he’s shrouded in mist, even my Secret Technique can’t deduce anything about his origins. He must have an Exotic Treasure capable of obscuring cause and effect calculations.”

“I told you long ago, this kid’s origins are mysterious, clearly backed by unimaginable Great Powers, how could you easily deduce his origins?”

“But trying was necessary to be sure.”

“Perhaps, this is the reason that esteemed person hasn’t accepted him as a disciple.”

With this last sentence, all the shadows fell silent.

In fact, they found it curious as well.

According to their expectations, with the Devil-like performance of that Ghost Face Masked kid in the Trial Space, the esteemed person should have been tempted.

Yet, up to the end, besides asking them to abide by the rules, there were no further directives.

Could it be true as they guessed, that even the figure behind the young man is someone the esteemed person feels apprehensive about?

Thinking of this, all the mysterious shadows couldn’t help but feel a tremor.

They clearly understood how powerful that esteemed person was.

In several surrounding Immortal Domains, he stood at the pinnacle as a grand existence.

If he felt apprehensive, it must be an existence of the same level of power.

It seems that the background of this Ghost Face Masked kid is even scarier than they imagined.

The atmosphere was tense for quite a while before one shadow awkwardly remarked: “It seems the disciple that respected person desires isn’t in our Heavenly Origin Great World. Other Great Worlds are also holding trials, perhaps the elder will choose someone from over there.”

“It seems so.” The other shadows nodded in agreement.

However, they remembered the scene in the Trial Space where Lu Qing cut down Cang Jue with his sword.

They began to doubt whether there was really another genius among the trialists of other worlds who could compare to this Ghost Face Masked kid.

While these mysterious shadows were filled with thoughts, in the depths of that black palace, there were also two shadows, one black and one white, sitting across from each other.

Between them was a chess board where they were slowly engaging in a game.

“You Ying, didn’t you want to take a disciple? With that young man’s talent, even for you and me, he’s rare in our lifetimes, why didn’t you make a move?”

The white shadow picked up a white piece, placed it on the board, and asked with a soft laugh.

“Indeed, his talent is monstrous. Even my few inept Direct Disciples at the Golden Core Realm can’t compare to him.”

The black shadow also picked up a black piece and placed it on the board.

“But you also noticed, this young man is shrouded in mist, even we can’t fully see through him.

Such a persona, either is someone whom a Great Divine Power directly acts to help veil his destiny, or he is an anomaly born from inheriting a grand destiny.

In either case, it’s not something we should easily meddle with.”

“True, this lad is indeed peculiar; with our realm, even we can’t see through his background. There’s definitely something off.” The white shadow nodded.

“In such troubled times as these, such an anomaly is too difficult to control. If, in the future, he drags us all into something, who knows if it would be a blessing or a curse.” The black shadow sighed softly with a shake of his head.

Honestly, seeing Lu Qing’s performance in the Trial Space, saying he wasn’t tempted would be impossible.

Even at his Golden Core Realm, what he could achieve was not much more than this.

This means that with Lu Qing’s potential, he is highly likely to grow to his level one day.

At that time, their side would definitely gain a significant ally, and in facing the impending catastrophe, their confidence would increase.

Yet, the impenetrable mist surrounding Lu Qing made him apprehensive.

Such an anomaly is destined to stir up the storm wherever he goes, becoming the center of a vortex.

While his cultivation is still weak, it’s fine; but once he steps into the Primordial Spirit Realm, who knows how big a storm he might create?

As the catastrophe draws nearer, such anomalies very likely are the root causes of the disaster.

He wasn’t certain if he could handle the situation decisively.

So even though he was tempted, he ultimately decided to do nothing and let Lu Qing go.

“But didn’t you say you suddenly felt the urge to take on another disciple? Even if you don’t take this young man, could it be you have a more suitable candidate?” The white shadow asked curiously.

At their level, having such urges was uncommon.

But once it occurs, it signifies an event closely tied to them is about to happen.

Since You Ying said he wanted to take another disciple, he must have been right.

“Indeed, I’ve found a good candidate, someone I feel might inherit my legacy.” The black shadow smiled.

“Oh, being selected by you isn’t easy. Who is it? Could they be more remarkable than this young man?”

“It’s a little girl; in terms of cultivation talent, she naturally doesn’t match this young man. However, her physique is unique, making her exceptionally suited to cultivate the techniques of my branch, so it’s a fateful match.”

“Is that so? Then I must see for myself.” The white shadow became interested.

He knew the requirements for physique were quite stringent for cultivating the techniques of You Ying’s branch.

“Alright, since the trial over there has also ended, let’s go check it out.”

“Let’s go then.”

With the last word falling, the two shadows disappeared, leaving only the unfinished chess game on the table.
