Garen counted, after adding up both of their savings, there were more than 30 golden crystals which equated to more than 30 million worth of riches. Having more than 30 million crystals was something that would make even an Inherited Level disciple become extremely excited.
As expected from the top Three Hearted disciples of the Scarlet Snow Sect. It was indeed exceptional to obtain such wealth through their influences. Unfortunately, he was not able to get the remaining properties and riches of Ron and Barrow, which were the real deal.
The reason why the investigations quickly died down was that they wanted to rapidly distribute their wealth. Despite being a legend when they were still alive, they were ultimately worthless after they died.
As Garen thought about it, he could not help but stare at the man and woman below him.
Barphil and Voss were the two individuals chosen by the elders to be nominated as Three Hearted disciple candidates, and they would be entering the void battlefield for the examination alongside Garen.
They seemed to have noticed Garen's field of vision, so they opened their eyes and greeted Garen amicably.
Other than both of them, there were two more of them. They were previously promoted along with Garen, which were March and the rest. Rumors had it that March's master was one of the more famous leaders among the energy machinists. He was nicknamed the 'Giant Territory General', and he was his godfather.
In addition to the three great elders, there were many strong Inherited Level seniors. They had yet to reach the Non-falling Level, but they were stronger than the general Inherited Level. These people were known as the great supervisors, and there were about 20 of them in the whole sect. They were the true key fighters of the Scarlet Snow Sect.
March's master was one of them. The three great elders would generally only teach their top-ranked One Hearted disciple without paying attention to the rest of them. Therefore, the remaining Three Hearted disciples would naturally be trained by all these great supervisors.
However, ever since Garen arrived at the headquarters of Planet Scarlet Snow, he did not get to meet that many of the great supervisors because most of the energy machinists prefer to do research in seclusion.
Garen's gaze averted from March and fell onto another man. The man was dressed in black, thin clothing, and he had a mustache. He looked a little intense, and his name was Lonray. Garen wondered about his actual strength.
The five of them were either standing up or sitting down, they had waited on the peak of the ice mountain for quite some time. Soon, a shadow quickly rushed upward from beneath the ice mountain. The figure had a speed of an arrow as he sped through several hundred meters swiftly. Right after they saw him, in just a few seconds, he was walking casually right in front the five of them.
It was a middle-aged man with a serious look on his face, and he had an upright stature. Based on the way he dressed, he did not look like an energy machinist but instead looked more like an animal tamer in the circus who was holding a whip used to train lions. Everyone could clearly see the black whip hanging on his waist.
"I am Jedi, the supervisor that will be leading the team. Since all of you are here, there is only one task for this year's Three Hearted examinations," He paused, and his piercing gaze swept across the five of their faces. "And that is to obtain a Void Amoeba Crystal Core and five of any of the opponent disciples' nameplate."
He waved one of his hand, and five silver rays fell onto the five of them. In a flash, it quickly got into everyone's clothes.
"This is a sign for you to identify your own teammates. After entering the void battlefield, everyone will naturally be disturbed by its distortive power, and all your electronic equipment will fail to work. Therefore, the only thing that you can rely on is your own body and your biochemical energy machinery. Do you understand?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Understood." The five of them responded in unison. They were no longer small kids, they had already done their research on the void battlefield, and they were very clear about it. They no longer need to be reminded by supervisor Jedi. They were prepared for it.
"In addition to that, you may encounter void distortions. If you were to encounter one and obtain a distorted core, the elders will exchange it with a chance for you to enter the ancestral temple once again."
The ancestral temple, the Secret Technique Library, as well as the Frost Hell, were the three most precious sites in Planet Scarlet Snow's headquarters.
Garen had gone into the ancestral temple once, and after entering the temple, he became so lucky that he was able to level up his Scarlet Snow Technique by two to three grades, and that was just by receiving the ancestral statues' perfusion power. As long as he had reached his target, there was no need for him to worry about the accumulated perfusion power. It was an extremely terrible place.
Meanwhile, the Secret Technique Library was filled with a large number of secret techniques, and it was also a place to exchange secret techniques. Garen had been before too, and it was located on the highest level of the Great Wall Library.
He had not been to the third place, which was the Frost Hell. He heard that all kinds of ice-type power seeds could be found there. It was a place which stored the power seed samples of the top experts in Scarlet Snow Sect, to serve as an example for their descendants.
Although the Scarlet Snow Technique was just a set of secret techniques, when combined with everyone's different willpower and energy machinery imprint, it could produce a large number of variations.
Rumors had it that there were more than a hundred type of seeds, and some higher level seeds of the ice-type sect in exchange for a chance to take a look at the other sees. It was of great significance to those who had understood their own paths.
After Garen came back to his senses, Garen heard that the great supervisor, Jedi, had already begun introducing the situation after they enter the battlefield.
It was just a general routine, their senior brothers and sisters had told them about it already, so they were naturally prepared. However, because it was related to his own safety, he listened attentively.
"...we need to move to the edge of the void battlefield, as there aren't many void creatures there, and their strength is below the Inheritance Level. So long as all of you pay attention to the different type of creatures, there shouldn't be any huge problems. Just be aware of the natural disasters, void storms, and ionic lakes' explosion. The power of either one of it had a wide range, and if you accidentally got caught in it, it would be better to just die from the explosion. If you were to rush toward the center of the void battlefield, then being dead would be better than staying alive. I've warned you about it."
Jedi sneered coldly.
"To be honest, if it isn't because of the extra bonus for my research, I would be way too lazy to waste my researching time to lead you bunch of rookies. Are you all not convinced by what I said? Do you think that, with your level of strength, it won't be that bad after you enter the battlefield? Hehe..."
He kept quiet, not bothered to continue talking.
Everyone kept quiet and waited under the black whirlpool. Soon, a sky-blue shuttle-shaped battleship unfolded its metal wings, and a swiftly appeared beside everyone.
"Let's go."
Everyone flew up and entered the spaceship one after the other. They gathered at the driver's seat area and saw the spaceship enter the black whirlpool right in front of them through the highly durable crystal glass.
It was only after all of them had entered the spaceship did Jedi fly into the battleship and close the hatch.
"Amy, let's go." He said lightly.
"Understood." The spaceship with an intellectual core responded with a female voice.
Slowly, the entire 30-meter long and more than 10 meters wide airship flew into the black whirlpool, inch by inch. From time to time, the surface of the ship was being scratched by the black whirlpool, and pieces of finely-ground blue metal could be seen being chipped off.
The whole ship started making an ear-piercing, swishing sound that was caused by friction.
Suddenly, a large stream of white flame particles spurted out from the backside of the airship, thrusting the entire ship forward into the black whirlpool and disappearing into the center of the black passage.
After they entered the vortex, Garen stood in the front chamber and looked at the dark whirlpool tunnel in front of him. He subtly felt an inexplicable change in the time and space, feeling as though it was filtering his body.
It was a very magical feeling; it was just like his whole body was being soaked in warm water, and it was extremely comfortable.
Boom!
Suddenly, his sights had enlightened.
He saw a piece of vast, black sky. The silvery stars were like gravels spreading throughout the black sky.
The warmth of Garen's body instantly disappeared, and he felt the entire spaceship sank. All the electronic lights suddenly extinguished, and the entire ship crashed straight down.
"Get out!" Jedi shouted with a low voice. He was the first one to open the door of the spaceship and leap outward.
March stared at Garen coldly, and he was the second one to jump out of the cabin door, followed by the third. Garen was the fourth one, he jumped out of the door with his limbs stretched out. A huge amount of cold air gathered around him, forming a speed reduction ice film that was akin to a parachute. The parachute continuously resisted the huge wind blowing from beneath him.
The five of them jumped out of the cabin door, only to find themselves a thousand meters from the ground. On top of them was a black, starry sky, and they were surrounded by traces of white clouds.
And beneath them, there were large pieces of pitch black mountains and rivers.
The vast land had a wavy terrain as well as mountains and rivers. Even the fluid in the river was pitch black, flowing continuously.
There were no trees around, only some fleshy, black, round pillars could be found in between the bald pile of stones. They were all living creatures. They continuously exhaled a mouthful of black smoke like chimneys, and their tumbling belly constantly bulged and shrunk.
Each of these black, round pillars was about ten meters in height. The pillars looked spectacular, but when he looked downwards, it was as though the dark land had zits and acne, appearing rather strange.
"This is the edge of the void battlefield?" Garen took a deep breath and had a very familiar feeling.
He smelt the exact same smell when he met the voids creatures in the vampire world.
At that time, he killed the void shadows, obtained the void core and absorbed it. It was the same feeling.
"Could it be that... it was the same type of creature that he met from both worlds?" Garen had some doubts. The Ancient Endor Demon Lords had been fighting against the Void creatures all these while. However, at here, void creatures were nothing more than just something that the energy machinists trained with. They were not considered as a formidable enemy, as their actual enemy was the finite people on the edge of a distant planet.
Among the void creatures, ever since they were discovered, their information was recorded for thousands of years. However, they did not discover any creatures that were stronger than a Non-falling Level. Therefore, the creatures can be used specifically as a training object.
However, only Garen knew how strong the terrifying power released during the fights between the void creatures and Ancient Endor could be. It had such a formidable destructive force capable of wiping out a whole civilization; it was extremely terrifying.
Based on the heart ranking, the rank right above the Ancient Endor Demon Lord was the True Soul Level. In Garen's mind, that level was equivalent to this world's top regent level.
The True Soul Level was just a myth in the Ancient Endor, whereas, in this world, the regent level was the world's greatest legend. Both of them should be on the same level.
Oh!
Jedi was the first one to land. He heavily created a hole in the ground.
Followed by the second and third. Each of them had different landing methods.
Garen walked gently landed on the ground with both his feet without making a sound.
The place where the five of them landed was a slightly sunken, low valley land, and the black stones on the ground collected a tiny amount of water.
Everything here was pitch black, there were no any other colors other than black, emitting an oddly dull atmosphere.
Boom!
The battleship in the sky crashed into the ground as if it pierced right into the ground. It fell inversely onto the valley not too far away from them.
Click...
The battleship began to automatically disassemble itself, forming pieces of machinery parts. However, the most important thing automatically reconstructing itself. It widened up and rebuilt itself. Soon after, a round-shaped, ten-meter wide tiny metal hut was formed.
