They did not speak along the way until they reached the Ancient Beast World.
Seeing that Zi Chen and the other two had returned, the human Dan Origin Stage experts also stepped forward to greet them. Their tone was extremely respectful. The leaders of the various forces remained where they were. After knowing that Zi Chen had arrived, they all came out to welcome him.
"How was it? The demon race did not go back on their words, right?" Zi Chen asked the leaders.
"They seemed to have learned their lesson and did not find trouble with us. Moreover, they would avoid us automatically when they encountered the ancient beasts. We have not fought with them during this period of time," Wu Clan Dan Realm master said.
Zi Chen nodded.
It was not long before the passage opened. Zi Chen did not plan to stay here. After asking the humans if everything was fine, he wanted to leave.
However, the leaders of the various forces seemed to have something to say. They looked like they wanted to say something but were hesitating.
Zi Chen glanced at the crowd and asked, "What is it?"
The leaders looked at each other awkwardly, as if they did not know what to say.
"Speak." Zi Chen's voice gradually turned cold.
The crowd recommended Shangguan Feixiong to speak. They seemed to think that he had a better relationship with Zi Chen. After some hesitation, Shangguan Feixiong said, "Zi Chen, are you going to the depths of this region? Is there another trial ground there?"
Zi Chen nodded, "That's right. There is a trial road, and it is an ancient trial road."
"Since it is a trial road, there should be no limit to the number of people. Why don't we send some people there?" Shangguan Feixiong added.
The others also looked at Zi Chen, waiting for Zi Chen's reply.
Zi Chen smiled and asked instead of answering, "I don't know where you heard this from, but I want to ask you, do you know what kind of trial road it is?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they did not know. One of the Dan Realm masters said, "No matter what kind of trial road it is, it should be a kind of opportunity."
Zi Chen nodded his head and said, "That's right, it is indeed a kind of opportunity. Moreover, this trial path has not been opened for ten thousand years. As for the trial paths that were opened before, many demonic beasts entered, but none of them have returned."
"What?" The expressions of the leaders changed.
However, from their expressions, it was clear that most of them did not believe it. If it was really a dead end, why would the Yao Clan send people there? Why would Zi Chen and the other two still want to go in?
"It's an ancient road of trials, full of dangers. It's said that when you reach the end of the first road, you'll reach the Human Origin Stage. However, on the way to the end of the road, even Sky Martial Artists have a high chance of dying," Zi Chen explained.
The faces of the leaders of the other forces darkened. Sure enough, with high rewards came high risks. If one could reach the Human Origin Stage at the end of the path, there would be all kinds of dangers along the way.
"Lord Zi Chen is very powerful. He should be able to protect some people along the way. Why don't we bring some Dan essences along to broaden our horizons?" one of the leaders said after a moment of consideration.
Zi Chen frowned. He had already said so much, but the other party was still pretending to know.
"Are you all idiots? If we could bring people there, we wouldn't bring the people of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. Moreover, those who come out will all be in the Human Origin Stage. Furthermore, the passage is guarded by the demon race. Do you think it belongs to us? You can bring whoever you want. If you want to go in, go talk to the demon race."
The Devil Ape could not take it anymore and immediately rebuked.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Lord Zi Chen, we didn't mean to force you. We were just curious." The Devil Ape was angry. Many of the leaders of the other forces paled and quickly explained.
"You guys are really too much. If Zi Chen could bring you there, he would. He has contributed so much to the human race and didn't ask for any reward. Naturally, he is not a selfish person. Zi Chen naturally has his reasons for this." The leader of the overlord forces also rebuked at the right time.
Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "It's fine. If you really want to go in and broaden your horizons, I will talk to the demon race. However, I don't know what lies beyond the ancient road. Perhaps we will all be together. When that time comes, I will not be stingy with my help. However, if we are transported separately after entering, there is nothing I can do."
"Lord Zi Chen is indeed straightforward."
"Then we will have to trouble Lord Zi Chen."
"We will remember Lord Zi Chen's kindness."
When the leaders of the other forces heard this, their faces were filled with excitement. After that, they left to make arrangements for their own Dan essences.
"Remember my kindness? Remember my ass. You have all forgotten my previous kindness." The Devil Ape was very dissatisfied with the way the other forces handled this matter.
Monk also looked at Zi Chen in confusion. "They are obviously going to die. Not only did you not stop them, but you even agreed to their request."
Zi Chen smiled and said, "If I stopped them, they would definitely think that we were trying to stop their development. Besides having good intentions, we would also be hated. If this anger were to implicate the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, it would be troublesome."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are being kind to them. Why should they hate us? Why should they hate the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion?" the Devil Ape said angrily.
Zi Chen looked at the Devil Ape and said, "This is the human heart."
As if prepared, the other forces quickly brought their Dan essences over. At a glance, there was a black mass in front of them.
Even though Zi Chen could guess the human heart, when he saw the people in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Many forces had brought hundreds of Dan essences, and most of them were in the late stage of the Dan essences.
When the Devil Ape saw this, it was so angry that it stomped its feet. "Good, you forces. When I asked you to send people to fight the Demon Race, you were all yes-men and stingy. You said that there was no one. Why are there so many late stage Dan essences now?"
Looking at the group of Primal Core cultivators, each faction had at least ten of them. If they could gather late-stage Primal Core cultivators, they would. If not, they would send mid-stage Primal Core cultivators. Among the hundreds of people, there was not a single early-stage Primal Core cultivator.
When Zi Chen saw this, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Then he said, "Everyone, I agreed to bring you along, but you should at least bring some reliable elites. Now that so many of you have come, what are you doing? Is this a group trial?"
"Lord Zi Chen, these are our elites," the leader of a force said.
Zi Chen still shook his head and smiled bitterly. The Devil Ape was so angry that its nose was almost crooked. It pointed at an old man with a long beard and said, "He is also an elite. But he is so old. Even if he is given resources, can he break through? I did not see any of you come out during the battle. Now you are going to die, and you are all sending yourselves to me."
The Devil Ape's words made everyone feel awkward. They could not answer.
Zi Chen scolded, "Devil Ape, don't be rude to the elders."
When the late stage Dan essences old man heard this, he also said awkwardly, "Lord Zi Chen, I am actually very young. It is just that I look a little old."
Zi Chen rubbed his forehead and said, "Everyone, I can bring you along. But as for how many of you the Demon Race will let in, I cannot say."
The group of leaders nodded and expressed their gratitude. They also said that they would let in as many as they could. Even if only one of them was let in, they would not resent Zi Chen.
After that, Zi Chen led the group on their way. Because of the lack of time, Zi Chen and his group were rushing. If they could not keep up, they could go back earlier.
"Are you planning to bring so many people?" On the way, the monk asked curiously.
"One is the same, a group is the same," Zi Chen replied.
"They are too much. They were not willing to send anyone during the battle, but now they are sending so many. They are obviously trying to take advantage of us," the Devil Ape said angrily.
Zi Chen replied with a smile, "Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, these forces have been suppressed by the Overlords for ten thousand years. There is no one in the Mortal Origin Realm. If this continues, they will continue to be suppressed. Now is a chance to turn things around. Facing this chance, even if they have to sacrifice their face, they have to fight for it."
"But they are obviously courting death."
"Entering the Ancient Road of Trials, besides strength, luck is also very important. Devil Ape, you are being too presumptuous by saying that these people are courting death. Maybe there are one or two lucky people in this group who can return from the Ancient Road of Trials."
Zi Chen transmitted his voice and said, "In this world, the interactions between people are all about benefits, and this is even more so between forces. This matter is beneficial to them, so they will fight for it. There is nothing wrong with fighting for their own benefits."
"They were not willing to send anyone during the previous battle because the benefits were small. This time, the Ancient Road of Trials has a high mortality rate, but they are sending people because they feel that the benefits are big. Big or small, it is up to them to decide."
Just as they were talking, the group reached the depths of the Ancient Road of Trials. The elders of the Six Demonic Tribes heard the news and came to welcome them personally. But when they saw the group of human Inner Realm cultivators behind Zi Chen, they were all dumbfounded.
"Little friend Zi Chen, are you planning to attack the Demonic Tribes' encampment again?" the Elder Ape joked and walked forward with the other five.
"I am really sorry. This time, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if it is possible to bring them along on the Ancient Road of Trials?" Zi Chen asked directly.
Behind them, the group of Inner Realm cultivators also looked at the six elders with eager eyes.
Among the six, apart from the Elder Ape who frowned and hesitated slightly, the other five elders did not even think about it. They chuckled and said, "If the Ancient Road of Trials does not close midway, it is not a problem to give face to little friend Zi Chen."
Five of the six agreed readily. The Elder Ape nodded slightly as well.
Zi Chen's smile did not fade, but he saw the expressions of the six elders. "I wonder if the Ancient Road of Trials has opened yet."
"It has not opened yet, but it should be soon. I will arrange for people to go with us."
"Then I will have to trouble you."
Then, under the lead of the Inner Realm cultivators of the Demonic Tribes and the accompaniment of the six elders, the group entered the depths of the Ancient Road of Trials.
Three days later, they reached the depths of the Ancient Road of Trials. As they got closer to the opening of the Ancient Road of Trials, they realized that there were more Demonic Tribes stationed here.
When the Demonic Tribe guards saw that so many humans wanted to enter the Ancient Road of Trials, their faces were filled with disdain.
Humans were so weak, yet they still wanted to form a group to enter the Ancient Road of Trials. This was not a group trial, but a group trial.
