Chapter 47: Three Hours Is Enough

“Righteous Path Cultivator Yang Zhengxin is leading the charge in questioning the host’s strength! To uphold the dignity of the Demonic Path, you must make the Cultivators who question you pay with their blood!”

“Mission: Within one day, kill 1000 or more Cultivators.”

“Mission Reward: Demonic Path Magic Treasure, Rank determined by mission completion.”

Looking at the mission issued by the System, Lu Ze’s eyes immediately lit up.

However, before he could speak, Elder Chao, who was beside him, spoke first.

“Elder Yang, this is my Lingxiao Sect.”

The usually amiable Chao Wendao’s tone was terrifyingly gloomy at this moment.

Around him, faint blue electric arcs crackled, and his gaze towards Yang Zhengxin was quite unfriendly.

“You have repeatedly doubted my Sect’s Disciple. What? Do you think this old man’s eyes are no longer good?”

Facing Chao Wendao’s questioning, Yang Zhengxin’s expression was dark, and he remained silent for a long time.

Although he was overbearing, he did not dare to be too presumptuous in another person’s Sect.

“Haha, I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”

Yang Zhengxin laughed heartily, waving his hand in a feigned generous manner.

“It’s normal for young people to have some talent, but matters of the Secret Realm ultimately involve experience, and I’m not the only one worried he won’t do well.”

Hearing this, the Elders of the other Sects also nodded in agreement.

“Elder Yang’s words are true! Even if he has the ability, his experience and vision are far lacking.”

“I agree with Elder Yang’s opinion.”

“How can an Inner Sect Disciple test a True Disciple? Moreover, this Disciple is only at the Foundation Establishment Rank...”

...

Hearing the others express their agreement, Yang Zhengxin felt relieved.

“Your name is Lu Ze, right? Let me ask you, have you ever had experience exploring a Secret Realm?”

“No.”

“Since you haven’t, why do you think you have the ability to create something comparable to a Secret Realm?”

“First, it’s not that I think so, it’s that Elder Chao thinks so.”

Lu Ze smiled indifferently.

“Secondly...”

“I truly have the ability, and I can do it.”

Yang Zhengxin was startled at first, then quickly said, “Good! As expected, you’re young and impetuous! If you can’t prove in public today that you have the ability to do it, I absolutely will not agree!”

Originally, with Chao Wendao protecting him, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't do anything to Lu Ze.

He didn’t expect this kid to jump out and provoke him back?

Isn’t this giving someone an opportunity to control him?

“How does Elder Yang want me to prove it?”

Lu Ze directly took the bait.

He was afraid that Chao Wendao would refuse for him.

Once refused, the System mission would be difficult to complete.

Moreover, this was a golden opportunity to promote his new game.

And it was a legitimate opportunity to trick people and earn Demonic Path value.

On the other side, Yang Zhengxin was also eager to speak, afraid that Chao Wendao would intercept him.

“That’s simple.”

“The domain of a Secret Realm is full of mechanisms and dangers.”

“The rarer the Secret Realm, the more powerful and complex the mechanisms within it.”

“If you can create a mechanism comparable to an ordinary Secret Realm, then I will believe you!”

Chao Wendao, who was beside them, was anxiously staring.

He hadn't even had a chance to say a word, how did these two get into a dispute?

It was as if they had planned it!

“May I ask Elder Yang, how are the mechanisms judged? What constitutes passing?”

Lu Ze continued to ask.

“Heh, you can rest assured about that. The Five Great Sects have clear rankings for Secret Realms and mechanisms. As long as you reach the most ordinary C-Rank, I naturally won’t make things difficult ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) for you.”

Seeing Lu Ze take the bait, Yang Zhengxin immediately relaxed and answered unhurriedly.

Although C-Rank mechanisms were common, their conception and combination were by no means easily achievable by ordinary people.

He really didn’t believe that a mere Foundation Establishment Rank Disciple could create one.

Seeing Lu Ze below furrow his brows involuntarily, Yang Zhengxin was in a very good mood.

‘Aren’t you very capable? Don’t hesitate?’

He mocked inwardly.

But he didn’t expect,

After a moment of contemplation, the young man below spoke astonishingly:

“Then...”

“If everyone present can’t pass the mechanism?”

“What Rank would that be?”

As soon as these words came out,

The Yunling Hall above and below was silent.

“Haha, hahahaha...!!”

Yang Zhengxin laughed incessantly, as if he had heard a particularly funny joke.

“If you have that ability, it would be above A-Rank... Immortal Rank mechanisms!”

The rest of the people followed suit and laughed.

Immortal Rank mechanisms?

They only existed in ancient texts!

In reality, even if there truly were Immortal Rank mechanisms, it’s likely there would be no surviving information about the Secret Realm itself.

Because those who entered would simply not be able to return alive!

A Foundation Establishment Disciple who had never explored a Secret Realm, boasting that he could design an Immortal Rank mechanism, wasn’t that ridiculous?

Lu Ze didn’t care about the reactions of these people, he just nodded to himself: “Hmm, then that counts as passing.”

“You mean, the mechanism you designed can reach Immortal Rank?”

“I’m not sure if it can reach Immortal Rank, but you all probably won’t be able to solve it anytime soon.”

Lu Ze answered with utmost frankness.

Only the Elders of the various Sects sitting in the main seats had rather unpleasant expressions.

“Good!”

Yang Zhengxin laughed in anger, slapping the table and standing up.

“I want to see what kind of mechanism you can design that even I can’t solve! I’ll give you three days, is that enough or not!?”

“Three days?”

Lu Ze sneered, slowly holding up three fingers.

“Three hours, that’s enough.”
