Chapter 727 Triennial

So what if it was a test? She didn't reveal any flaws, and she really just wanted to see the high priest of the spiritual world.

Ling Ji simply stayed in the restaurant with Luo Li, and Ling Che had no choice but to stay with them.

Until the day after tomorrow, noon.

Luo Li walked side by side with Ling Ji and Ling Che, passing through the bustling market of Twilight City and slowly heading towards the trial grounds. The crowd was bustling with people, and the sound of discussion was endless, all looking forward to the upcoming priest trial.

Suddenly, a melodious bell sounded from afar, as if traveling through time and space, drawing everyone's attention towards the trial field.

As the bells echoed, the sunlight seemed to tremble, casting mottled light and shadows through layers of diffuse black and gray mist, and coating the bustling crowd with a faint golden glow.

Countless light screens appeared in the trial field. The number of people entering the trial field was limited, and others could only watch these light screens outside the trial field.

However, this did not stop people's enthusiasm, and they all wanted to get closer to the trial field.

Ling Ji hurriedly pulled Luo Li forward, "Hurry up, or we won't be able to enter after those trial participants enter."

Ling Che was helpless, but he could only quicken his pace to catch up.

Luo Li and the others had just stepped into the trial field when the tall gate behind them suddenly closed with a dull sound.

On the towering altar of the trial field, beams of light shot up into the sky, interweaving into a gorgeous light net, as if cutting the sky into countless pieces.

The clamor of the surrounding crowd seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone's heartbeat accelerated with every echo of the bell, weaving together the prelude to this grand event.

Inside the trial field, a woman with a serious face looked over, frowned slightly, and waved her hand to let them in.

Ling Ji stuck out his tongue, nodded quickly, and pulled Luo Li into a passage next to the gate, "Let's go."

She pulled Luo Li through the long corridor, up the stairs, and came to the seat above the trial.

This is the most central location, with only a few people who look extraordinary sitting around, while other places are packed.

Ling Ji pulled Luo Li to sit down and pointed down, "It's about to start. If the high priest wants to come, he will only come at the beginning and end."

Luo Li sat on the stone bench and nodded, "Okay, I understand. Thank you Miss Ling for bringing me here."

Lingji smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, no thanks."

She pointed down and said excitedly, "It's about to start!"

Luo Li turned her gaze downwards, and saw a huge venue that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

At this moment, there were nearly a thousand people standing at the edge of the venue. These were the people who came to participate in the priest trial this time.

The priest trial in Twilight City is the most rigorous, requiring candidates to be under 100 years old and to have reached an advanced level of purification skills.

Therefore, in the entire spiritual world, only more than a thousand people participate in Twilight City’s priest trials every three years, and only thirty people can stay in Twilight City in the end.

It can be said that the competition is very fierce.

At this moment, in the center of the trial field, light gradually gathered to form a huge circular magic circle, colorful, like a fairyland falling into the mortal world.

The contestants filed in and stood at the edge of the magic circle, each with a different expression. Some were nervous, some were excited, and some had their eyes closed, concentrating as if regulating their breathing.

The audience seats around were filled with noise, cheers and discussions mixed together, surging into the sky like a heat wave.

"Everyone."

At this moment, a cold and majestic female voice spread throughout the trial field, and everyone present suddenly fell silent and held their breath.

The next second, a woman in a dazzling platinum outfit appeared on the second highest throne in the trial field.

Luo Li narrowed her eyes. It was the woman she saw when she entered the trial field just now.

Ling Ji also sighed, "So it really is Aunt Lingxi. It seems the high priest is not coming."

On the high platform, Lingxi looked calm and slowly raised her hand, "Today is the priest trial that takes place once every three years in the spiritual world."

She opened her lips softly, her voice soft but piercing the heavens, carrying an undeniable power. "You all know the rules of the trial. Now, I, Lingxi, as the first general of the spirit world, will bear witness to the courage and wisdom of every trial-taker."

Under the stands, light flowed, and light gates quietly emerged. They were the gateways to the trial.

Lingxi announced loudly, "I declare that the trial begins!"

"May you hold on to your faith, forge ahead courageously, and shine your own light today."

After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves lightly, and the light gate suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire trial field like a dream.

A moment later, all the contestants on the trial field disappeared, and a huge light curtain rose into the air, broadcasting what happened after the contestants entered the trial ground above the trial field.

Luo Li leaned lazily on the back of the chair. Since the high priest was not there, she had no interest in it anymore.

She glanced sideways, "Miss Ling, this trial is three days, right?"

"Yeah." Ling Ji nodded, "It's only three days at most, but usually it's over in two days."

What is the rule?

Luo Li was puzzled, "Why? Didn't you say three days?"

"Didn't Priest Ling Hai tell you anything?" Ling Che glanced at her and said with a rather compassionate look, "This trial ground contains the power left behind by the senior priests. As long as we can defeat the phantoms left behind by the senior priests and take away the power of the trial ground, we will be considered successful..."

He paused, seeing that Luo Li seemed to be listening attentively, and snorted softly before continuing, "The top thirty are divided according to the time they left the secret realm. For example, when the high priest participated in the priest trial, he came out with a power ball as soon as he entered. He was also the priest with the most purification talent in our spiritual world in tens of thousands of years."

Luo Li nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "I really don't know much about it."

She thought to herself that this spiritual world seemed quite different from other places.

She withdrew her thoughts and her eyes fell on the light curtain.

In just a quarter of an hour, the light in the trial field flashed, and a woman in a platinum dress stepped through the light gate, holding a ball of energy that was intertwined with emerald green and white in her hand, and gestured to Lingxi on the platform.

Lingxi raised her hand and took the energy ball in her hand. She checked it and made sure it was okay, then gestured for her to sit in the center position under the platform.

The woman was also a little surprised, but when she realized what was happening, her face lit up with joy. She bowed and flew up, sitting steadily on the seat.

Luo Li was a little surprised, "So fast?"

Lingche and Lingji were not very happy.

Ling Ji sighed, "In previous years, the first place winner had to win within half a quarter of an hour, why is it that this time..."

Ling Che's eyes were deep, "The Tree of Life has indeed been greatly affected..."
