Three hours since the trial had started and already more than half of the competing cultivators were decimated.
The moods among the celestials who were watching the scene were quite somber. Even the four major powerhouses of the region, the Heavy Moon Sect, the Alluring Blossoms Palace, the Spirit Sword Manor and the Divine Nine Sect had all lost a couple of their candidates. They had never expected that the first trial would be so tough!
This was way much tougher than 30 years ago!
The Grandmaster of the Spirit Sword Manor Gao Yishu had a dark look. It was because they had already lost two of their brightest candidates and another candidate Qian Jingjing was wandering hopelessly in the mountains until she had managed to meet with Lu Qingyun and Leng Qiuyue.
The powerful sword arts of their celestial clan were supposed to be used on their opponents and not these desolate beasts!
