Chapter 864 The Eighteen Cities (Part One)


    "Sir, I''m having a hard time understanding it. It is all about entering the Holy Realm, but why is it that


    one can acquire more strength by surviving the tribtions thanprehending the Holy Will?" Darren


    inquired as he was filled with curiosity.


    Chandler paused for a moment and contemted over Darren''s question. Soon after, he spoke,


    "Grand warriors from the seven-star Grand Realm need to exert extremely powerful strength in order to


    ovee the resistance of the heavenly tribtion. Simply put, it is a behavior against the natural


    course of the universe. If, by any chance, one has acquired a cultivation base of his level, he would


    inevitably enter the Holy Realm, leading to the activation of the heavenly tribtion.


    And if he sessfully got through and passed all the obstacles, the heavenly tribtion would provide


    him great power in the end. Can you imagine it?


    By surviving the heavenly tribtion, one could manage to reach the Holy Realm. Also, the strength


    one will possess will be beyond all anticipation as it will be energized by tremendous heavenly


    tribtion. Even an inferior holy warrior who has survived one tribtion, can easily bepared to an


    ordinary senior holy warrior who hasprehended the Holy Will."


    Darren had been enveloped by wonder. With wide eyes, he stared at Chandler. ording to what


    Chandler had said, the strength of an inferior holy warrior who had survived one tribtion was much


    greater than that of an ordinary senior holy warrior. If so, then how much strength could a senior holy


    warrior who survived one tribtion possibly acquire? Also, what about the senior holy warriors who


    survived more than one tribtion?


    "But sir, if that''s the case, wouldn''t it be easy for a senior holy warrior who survived one tribtion to


    y a senior holy warrior who has entered the Holy Realm byprehending the Holy Will?" Darren


    asked while his awe was still at its peak.


    "It''s not like that," Chandler answered, shaking his head. "There haven''t been any one-tribtion senior


    holy warrior. Every stage upgrading process needs to go through double trials of tribtions. If an


    inferior holy warrior only survived one tribtion and wanted to be promoted to a junior holy warrior, he


    would need to go through two more tribtions in order to be a junior one. If he sessfully


    survived them, then he would be called a three-tribtion junior holy warrior.


    It is also cruel to reach the senior Holy Realm. Junior holy warriors need to go through three extra


    stages of tribtions in order to be a senior holy warrior. By that time, he had already gone


    through a total of six tribtions. He would be called as a six-tribtion senior holy warrior."


    Darren finally understood why it was more efficient to enter the Holy Realm by surviving tribtions,


    even though it was harder.


    "Sir, you said that Barnes the Holy is a senior holy warrior who has survived seven tribtions. Is there


    still anyone stronger than him?" Darren curiously asked.


    "It was believed, in the ancient times, that there were a few. In addition to the masters of Conflicting


    Cultivation, senior holy warriors who survived the tribtions are also considered strong and potent.


    Legends say that there was a senior holy warrior who survived eight tribtions. But it is just a story


    from the old times. No one could confirm if it is true. Anyway, judging from the strength of Barnes the


    Holy, the mightiness of the eight-tribtion senior holy warriors could be on par with a holy emperor. As


    for the strength of a nine-tribtion senior holy warrior, no one could tell.


    I have never heard anyone survive more than eight tribtions, especially someone who has survived


    ten tribtions, which is the highest stage."


    Darren felt his blood starting to boil with excitement. He was fancying how much power a person could


    possibly acquire once he reached that stage.


    He wasn''t expecting that such a high level of cultivation existed.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "What if one bes a holy emperor by virtue of surviving tribtions?" Darren asked, the possibility


    of this happening excited him.


    "Slow down!" Chandlerughed Darren''s question off. "You''re being too hasty. Even the existence of a


    man of nine tribtions is doubtful. How can you imagine about a ten-tribtion senior holy warrior


    breaking through to the Emperor Realm? Trust me, no one could ever get through that many


    tribtions." Chandler paused and didn''t say anything more. Darren guessed that that was all that


    Chandler knew.


    Then he nodded, "You''re right. After all, a senior holy warrior of eight tribtions might be the mightiest


    one that we have ever heard so far. I mentioned those higher levels just because of my curiosity.


    Anyway, thinking back, I now realize that Barnes the Holy had his reasons to rein the world of martial


    arts in his era. Being a senior holy warrior who has survived seven tribtions, he had the capability to


    I wish I could obtain a talent like that. Sorry, sir. I hope I didn''t bother you too much with my questions.


    Why are you telling me all these, sir?" Darren asked in a polite manner.


    Chandler rose and stood beside Darren. "I have good news for you," Chandler said. He mysteriously


    looked at Darren and said, "I''ll arrange your training course until you are capable enough to be a


    holy emperor."


    "How?" Darren eximed as his eyes shone with joy and wonder.


    "It''s simple," Chandler said as he put his hand on Darren''s shoulder. "Make for the eighteen cities, a


    ce where talents from all over the world assemble. I know that you have heard of it already. The


    eighteen cities were built in the ancient wastnd, where there are rich resources and tempting


    treasures such as the emperor''s tomb. Apart from cultivating your skills, you could also dig for


    treasures. Sounds intriguing, don''t you think?


    But I must warn you. People who have gathered in the eighteen cities are extremely talented. They are


    from various ns. You don''t have much of an advantage there, especially when ites to strength."


    "Sir, do you mean that all the cultivators that are training in the eighteen cities are talented people who


    are from those ns in the blocked area? Is there any tribtion holy warrior in the eighteen cities?"


    Darren asked.
