All the cultivators soon found themselves in a dark limbo after they had entered into the shimmering black portal.

Ji Yuan was naturally one of them but he could not see the others.

“Where am I?” He thought.

All of a sudden he could hear a gentle echo from the surrounding space. “Welcome to the Jade Mansion.”

Ji Yuan laughed excitingly. “So this is an S Rank Trial and the name of this trial is the Jade Mansion. What a beautiful name.”

The gentle echo giggled softly. “The original name of this trial is the Slaughter Mansion but I’m afraid it may put off the cultivators so I call it the Jade Mansion instead.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

All of a sudden the smiles on his face had vanished. “Is this some kind of a joke?”

The gentle echo continued to giggle. “In this trial, you have 30 days to complete it and you will be assigned one of the elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Air to be your faction…”

Ji Yuan was stunned when he had heard it; it was because it would mean that Feng Minyue would also be randomly assigned an element and she may not be in the same faction as him…

“The rules for the Jade Mansion is simple enough. Every day, you will have a chance to compete against a champion of the other factions. If you are able to win by forcing your opponent to concede or killing them, you will gain a little wing on your forehand. If you are able to gain ten little wings by the end of 30 days then you will be able to complete the trial and gain your reward.” The gentle echo continued.

“But beware, after the fifth wing is gained, if you were to lose a single match, you will lose three of your little wings. In order to make things a little interesting, the winner will be able to obtain all of their opponents’ possessions including their divine swords if any. Literally gaining all.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan was stunned; this was literally a slaughter trial where the winner takes all…

He had a very bad feeling about this and he was now anxious for his women…

“If I know that this will be a slaughter trial and that we are all going to fight against one another here, I would never have entered here…”

His thoughts were interrupted by the gentle echo again. “You belong to the Fire Faction. In a little while time, you will be taken to the Jade Mansion. Best of luck.”

Ji Yuan protested immediately. “Can I quit the trial?”

“Unfortunately no.” The trial voice answered him gently before a shimmering bright light overwhelmed him.

When he had opened his eyes again, he saw that he was standing with hundreds of cultivators in a large courtyard and more cultivators were arriving every now and then.

“Ji Yuan, you’re also here?”

Ji Yuan looked up and was startled to see Feng Minyue again.

He smiled bitterly. “I guess that we are in the Jade Mansion now and that we belong to the Fire Faction.”

Feng Minyue nodded solemnly. “This is a most dangerous trial.”

Ji Yuan sighed. “Let’s hope that the others are in the same faction as us too.”

Feng Minyue returned a light nod but after waiting for a while, Ji Yuan’s wait seemed to be in vain…

“Ji Yuan, it is you? Hahaha.”

Ji Yuan returned a soft frown when he recognized the voice of Mo Bei. “It is you.”

Mo Bei laughed. “Of course it is me. Are you expecting someone?”

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly before he turned to say to Xiang Li in his soul sea. “Xiang Li, your magic did not work this time.”

Xiang Li was also sighing miserably, “I don’t sense them in this group…”

“Hmph! It is you!” A cold voice had suddenly said behind Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan turned slowly around to see a fabulous maiden with a zither in her arms; she was Yu Jingjing and she looked really unhappy to see Ji Yuan.

“I hope that you don’t drag our faction down with your disappointing battle results.” She added coldly.

Ji Yuan grinned back. “Don’t worry, I am a good fighter…”

“With your poor look, are you sure?” Yu Jingjing smiled coldly.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …𝗇𝑂𝚟𝗲𝐥𝑵𝓮xt.𝑐𝑂𝓂

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan laughed. “Wealth has nothing to do with being a good fighter. You are the most ignorant maiden that I’ve ever met.”

Yu Jingjing hummed coldly. “Is it? We shall see about it then.”

Xiang Li muttered to Ji Yuan, “Big Brother, why are you so unfriendly to her? She looks nice.”

Ji Yuan answered solemnly, “Xiang Li, you’re too young. Some people may have the face of an angel but the heart of the devil. Can’t you tell from our exchanges that she isn’t a good maiden?”

Xiang Li giggled. “She looks good because she is beautiful and has big boobs too.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan muttered helplessly. “We ought to sit down to have a word or two on what is a good maiden…”

A gentle voice began to echo from the Jade Mansion in front of all the cultivators. “Welcome to the Jade Mansion…”

“First of all, I am going to tell you the rules of this trial. This trial will last for 30 days and you can participate daily in any of the competition against the other factions…”

Ji Yuan hummed softly. “I’m going to sleep for the next 30 days…”

“You may choose to forfeit your daily participation but you have to do it at least once every three days or else all your belongings will be forfeited…”

Ji Yuan: …

“There are altogether 9 levels to the Jade Mansion and you can advance to a new level only after obtaining a mini wing on your forehand. After obtaining the 10th mini wing, you will be able to complete the trial…”

“In the Jade Mansion, there are profound treasures that you can purchase as you go higher up the level, naturally with high grade spirit stones of course. In additional, you can also gain slaughter points for your victories and you can also use this to purchase for your profound treasures. Your final reward for this trial will be based on your total slaughter point should you be able to complete the final trial.”

“Please enter the Jade Mansion and to pick your rooms. There are different classes to the rooms of course and if you can afford it, your rate of recovery will naturally be superior to the lower classes rooms.”

Ji Yuan turned to Feng Minyue and Mo Bei with a bitter smile. “Why is that I am feeling so poor all of a sudden?”

Mo Bei laughed. “Don’t tell me that you have no spirit stones?”

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes as he said silently; precisely…

Yu Jingjing had obviously overheard Mo Bei talking to Ji Yuan and as she walked past Ji Yuan, she said with great sarcasm. “Humph! Just another peasant cultivator!”
