Chapter 850: Chapter 849 Hell Peril [Requesting Minimum Guarantee]

The second sister Shui Shuangdong said discontentedly, “Big sister is too old-fashioned. With the wealth of the three of us combined, we could place a bet for you on the Companion Name website. Not to mention more, getting to five thousand is a piece of cake… This time we help you, next time help me, and finally we’ll help third sister, wouldn’t that be delightful?”

Because the effect of the Companion Name website is becoming more apparent, if you don’t place a bet, then every battle in the Trial Arena will inevitably be fierce. Who can keep winning all the way?

Therefore, the fees are getting higher and higher, beyond what average cultivators can afford. The operation rule here is basically about who pays more Spirit Stones. Everyone is registered on the Companion Name website, if you bet ten thousand Spirit Stones and I bet twenty thousand, then you have to let me win in battle!

If you want to win, you can only win against those who bet less than ten thousand Spirit Stones. A bet every three years, that’s the inside truth.

The high-levels of the Anchor Chain Star System have long discovered this malpractice, but it’s hard to prohibit; there’s nothing to be done, both parties have needs, they can’t control the disciples too strictly, and what can they do to stop those big merchants operating the Companion Name website?

Hundreds of thousands of Golden Core cultivators are involved, each betting at least a few thousand, at most tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. The profit here is enormous, merchants only need to take out a portion to bribe the high-levels, control the discourse, and retaliate against the lower levels to maintain this system’s normal operation.

When ideals and wealth collide, isn’t it always a head-on crash? It makes a handful of insightful people lament.

So long as it’s not too excessive, without interfering in the top thousand rankings, in the end, it’s just turning a blind eye, rare confusion.

Shui Shuangdong meant exactly this, the three sisters together protect one, after reaching, they switch to another…

When the rank reaches around ten thousand, there is a minimum bet. Too low a bet is useless, the Companion Name website provides a real-time minimum standard every year, this standard is unbearable even for them.

If you don’t bet, every opponent will fight you desperately; if you bet, at least half of them will let you off, and the win rate comes from earning it this way.

Each year, there is just one chance to enter the Trial Arena, fail three times, and you will have to wait until the next year. It is imaginable how significant the Companion Name website is to everyone, it can indeed decide some things.

Shui Zhendong felt a bit troubled; two sisters, one urging her to bet on the Companion Name website, another encouraging her to challenge Hell. This is two paths, with no right or wrong, only a difference in difficulty and, of course, a cultivator’s adherence to the Dao.

In the Anchor Chain Star Trial Arena system, Hell Star is a later added branch that truly symbolizes strength because they do not cheat, as the merchants’ hands cannot reach there. Therefore, the rule stipulates that victories against Hell Star criminals count thrice.

This is the last adherence of the insightful ones, merchants also fear things getting out of hand, hence both parties compromise with each other.

Shui Sanmei means if you do not want to opportunistically take chances, you might as well take a big gamble, targeting Hell Star criminals.

“In fact, when really discussing strength, those Hell Star criminals may not be much stronger than the outside cultivators, they just have the guts to risk everything. Well, they are also more experienced; eldest sister fighting against these people, even if not earning rewards, not moving up in rank, at the very least you increase battle experience, which is tangible and more meaningful than fake fights.”

The three walked and chatted, arriving at the Trial Palace where there was already a crowd, nearly dozens of Golden Core cultivators lined up waiting, including disciples from the Dongzhen Sect as well as many cultivators from other small sects, lively and buzzing.

In the Three Cave Realm, because of the Trial Arena, there are fewer discordions between Daoist heritages, the relationships between each are fairly harmonious. This is one important reason why the Trial Arena is so popular in the Anchor Chain and this universe.

These people, after entering the Trial Arena, will not meet each other, which is also the rules’ limitations. They will only encounter external cultivators, which is where the trial’s meaning lies.

The three sisters greeted familiar friends around them, no longer discussing the matter. In the end, the decision is made by the cultivators themselves, even sisters cannot substitute for one another.

After waiting for a moment, the Trial Palace opened, everyone orderly entered. Under the arrangement of palace duty cultivators, everyone took their place. It was a giant space formation in which they would sit cross-legged, letting go of their thoughts, a special cultivation technique aiding them into an empty state, then the space formation would transmit their spiritual energy, starting their exchange and battle in an Acquired Spirit Treasure.

Of course, if choosing hell mode, they would be sent to the Hell Star, where they would receive a body in an Innate Spiritual Treasure, then compete against a criminal Master.

At the same time, in the Three Cave Realm, Dongxuan Sect and Dongshen Sect are also activating space formations, these are the only three Trial Palaces in the Three Cave Realm; simultaneously, on other main stars of Anchor Stars, in independent boundary domains in Outer Space, numerous Golden Core cultivators are also pouring into the Trial Arena, commencing this universe-wide grand training.

Quite spectacular.

Shui Zhendong sat in her position, dispelling distracting thoughts; this is crucial. If due to inattention spiritual power delivery issues arise, that would be self-destructive, and she can blame no one.

Once the cultivators were ready, the space formation light flickered, and in the next moment, dozens of people turned into dozens of clay statues, their spiritual power transported to some mysterious place in the universe, from which their destinations would be allocated.

Shui Zhendong felt as if she arrived in an unknown space, drifting, existing solely as a strand of spiritual power. She sensed many spiritual energies like hers around, but all were invisible and indistinguishable from each other.

Basically, the Golden Core spiritual bodies of this universe gathered here had already surpassed thousands. It may not sound much, but considering that this continues every day around the year, it becomes quite terrifying annually.

A virtual screen as vast as a sea lay before her; she knew it was the mirror surface of the Acquired Spiritual Treasure and Dust Treasure Mirror, a mysterious treasure capable of simultaneously generating and controlling hundreds to thousands of battles, and accurately recording their victories and defeats, never having erred over millennia.

Of course, the Spiritual Treasure does not bother whether the cultivators fight earnestly or pretend; that is outside its jurisdiction.

It is only responsible for providing venues, recording results, and ensuring hundreds of such battles occur without incidents.

It’s only that the strength of Golden Core cultivators rarely involves the Great Dao, replacing with Nascent Soul cultivators, the accommodating number would shrink to single digits, illustrating the power of the Great Dao.

Looking at the two entrances on the giant mirror, Shui Zhendong made a decision.
