Wang Li's figure kept, and the further he went, the colder it became until it started to rain.
In the rain, he could feel the temperature falling.
"What kind of treasure is capable of affecting the environment like this?'' He was puzzled as he walked.
The sound of fighting caught his attention and he moved in that direction.
"Luo Hei! You actually betrayed me?" A female voice filled with anger resounded in the cold rain.
While walking over, he didn't even slow down in the slighest.
What appeared before him was a woman pierced through by a sword, and holding onto it with a menacing look.
His cast his gaze on them for a moment, before shifting his head in another direction.
He didn't even bother with this couple, but walked towards the white flower in the distance.
"Hey! That is mine! How dare you?" The female voice sounded behind him, but Wang Li didn't even bother to look back.
"Crazy!" He retorted calmly as he ignored the woman.
She clearly had pierced that man's heart and he was probably not going to make it and she was claiming he had betrayed her.
From the moment he laid his eyes on them, the situation became clear.
He lost interest in them, his figure was attracted to the flower before him.
Just setting his eyes on it, he felt the world was being purified.
This feeling was novel to him, but it didn't stop him from pocketing this flower.
He bent down and picked the flower carefully before putting it in the small bag he was carrying.
Watching his figure move away, the woman being tightly grasped by the dead man kept shouting and cursing, but Wang Li didn't even bother to reply.
He rushed to the next destination.
But this time, he was tricked as his figure realized the group that was fighting stopped and blocked all paths around him.
"Interesting! It turns out there isn't any treasure in this place!" He said calmy as he watched them.
"Isn't there one in that bag you are carrying!" One of them spoke as they pointed at the bag around Wang Li's waist.
"True!" Wang Li responded with a smile, only this smile was cold.
"How about you leave the bag behind, and you might walk out of here alive!" Another one suggested.
"Like you said! I might not will! But then again, you lot dare to block my martial path. Then don't leave!" Wang Li responded while his face no longer holding a smile.
Within the area of fifty meters, heaven and earth seemed to turn heavy. A strong oppression erupted from Wang Li, making even movement difficult for those surrounding him.
With a step he was before the man that had talked about letting him go.
His palm moved faster, grabbing the man by the throat.
"Can you reheat what you just said?" He asked coldly.
The man was incapable of speaking and Wang Li squeezed his throat before his right hand descended forcefully sticking him in the head.
He threw the man to the side, and walked towards the next.
Their eyes contracted as they couldn't escape due to the strange force locking them in place.
He didn't waste time and struck fast, crippling some by the legs, and knocking others out.
Before walking off, he made sure to collect all the valuables on them.
To his surprise, this group had two treasures.
While he walked away, he didn't care about this group seeking revenge later.
What he was more interested in was acquiring that spot among the peak disciples.
Killing in this Spiritual plane might probably became a problem as such he thought it best to avoid it.
He didn't belive in such a sect, their actions would be completely hideen as such he wanted to avoid risking it.
Just as he walked away, a figure indeed emerged from the void, looking at his departing back.
"Not bad! Still has some humanity left." While writing something the figure vanished.
Clearly Wang Li's decision not to end lives was considered wise.
The same situation was happening everywhere in the spiritual plane. Some figures were observing not just the nature of participants,but also recording their capabilities.
After walking further, Wang Li's figure finally stopped.
He thought, "There was clearly spying in that place. I have to be careful. Until I have officially taken in by one of the peak master's as a disciple, it is best not to make any mistakes."
He clearly knew the significance of having backing. The rules of the Spirit Stream Sect were not partial to all. The rules were clearly light to its own and ruthless to outsiders.
By outsiders, it was clearly someone like Wang Li that had no backing in the sect.
To change this, he had to be selected in this trial. It is also why he had to play within certain rules.
Any peak would do, as long as he could change the status. After all, he just wanted to gain a proper identity that could allow him to compete for position of an inner disciple.
Even with his current comprehension of martial arts he couldn't claim he was sure to breakthrough and become a martial artist.
Only by becoming a disciple in the nine peaks, can he access this information. Having collected three treasures of heaven and earth, he didn't stop but rather decided to see if he could gather more.
It was just that he was bound to be disappointed. Despite walking around for a day and half, nothing was found.
Even his plan to seclude himself and try to push the mountains and seas art to the pinaccle failed to pull through.
On this day, he felt a force descend upon him, and before he could react space shifted.
When he reacted, he was outside the Spiritual plane.
He looked around and discovered less than half of those that entered the Spiritual plane had appeared.
Standing in the Sect square, he realized those that most of those that gathered here had a strange aura around them.
It was clearly an aura of someone that had killed others.
'Interesting! Let's see how things play out!' he didn't make any actions as he had no right to. He just wanted to watch a show.
"Okay! Since all of you are gathered, we shall go by old rules." A voice sounded in the sky.
When he raised his head and looked towards the clouds, he caught about ten phantoms.
He still couldn't identify the source of the sound.
"Those that obtained treasures of heaven and earth within the spiritual plane step forward!" The voice carrying a hint of majesty sounded.
Wang Li didn't even waste time and moved forward. He wasn't the only one, as those with treasures of heaven amd earth moved forward.
To his surprise, the number was just too small. Clearly they were less than twenty.
A strange fluctuation spread out from above, and covered everyone before it vanished.
"Fourteen of you stay! The rest retreat! You can attempt the trial next time, within the sect rules." The voice delivered another verdict.
Just like that, the fourteen people including Wang Li had survived the first screening.
"Okay! Ill be taking the heaven and earth treasures!" The grand voice spread as a stream of light descended upon them.
Wang Li only saw the three treasures he had gathered being swept away and the bag he had couldn't even hold them.
"Such mysterious means!" He exclaimed inwardly at the wonders of martial artists.
"Peak selection is left to peak Masters. Peak masters please!" The voice suddenly paused.
Streaks of tokens shot from the clouds.
Each person had a token appear before them and Wang Li looked at the purple token before him in confusion.
No! He wasn't the only one looking at it in confusion, even the sect master and other peak masters had strange expressions.
Above the clouds, where the disciples couldn't see, the other peak master turned their heads towards the woman lying lazily on the cloud bed.
"Wang Lu! What is the meaning of this?" The red haired fellow demanded angrily.
"What? Old Yang! Only your peak can accept disciples and this old woman can't?" Wang Lu retorted forcefully.
"That one is mine! You should be happy this old woman isn't competing with you for others." She retorted as she looked over with a smile that appeared not a smile.
When the others saw her actions they shook their heads helplessly.
The blue haired woman looked at the white haired Wang Lu and adviced.
"Junior sister! Teaching disciples is not an easy task How about reconsidering?"
"Green tea bitch! Why not dye your hair green to match your nature!" Wang Lu looked at her before retorting.
On the other hand,Red haired Old Yang couldn't help it but burst out laughing.
He just found the way his junior sister handled people refreshing.
"Sect master! Do you also want to compete with me over a man?" Wang Lu spoke shamelessly making the sect master almost stagger from the cloud he was standing.
"What do you mean by competing over a man with you? You know I don't swing that way!" He couldn't help but retort directly.
"Indeed! Your female harem disciples can attest to that!" Wang Lu replied without even looking at the man further!
