Chapter 1967: The Grand Imperial Trial!
"There’s definitely a purpose to me telling you all this."
Seeing Su Chen’s confusion, Ji Ya smiled and said:
"The Si Tian Pavilion of the Ancient Dynasty is famed for knowing all things!"
"Even if my father and I don’t know, Si Tian Pavilion might know!"
"Where is this Si Tian Pavilion?"
Hearing this, Su Chen asked anxiously:
"I’ll go there tomorrow, whether they know or not, I have to try!"
"Don’t be in such a rush, even if you get there, Si Tian Pavilion won’t tell you!"
Ji Ya replied:
"If they answered every inquiry, Si Tian Pavilion would be overwhelmed!"
Hearing this, Su Chen calmed down; indeed, a place like Si Tian Pavilion wouldn’t answer just anyone’s questions!
Even a fortune teller on the street wouldn’t do that!
"Then what should I do?"
Su Chen asked next.
"Become the first in the Da Chao Trial!"
Ji Ya answered simply and directly:
"The winner of each Da Chao Trial gets to ask Si Tian Pavilion a question!"
"Da Chao Trial?"
Hearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly:
"What is that?"
"It’s the largest martial arts competition for the youth of the Ancient Dynasty!"
Ji Ya explained.
"Can we participate too?"
Su Chen asked casually.
"Of course, the fifteen Great Dynasties are still nominally part of the Ancient Dynasty!"
Ji Ya explained:
"It’s just that in the past, the power disparity was too great, so we’ve never participated!"
Hearing this, Su Chen nodded:
"Alright, so we’ll participate. When does this Da Chao Trial begin?"
"There’s still about two months until this Da Chao Trial begins!"
Actually, she wasn’t too concerned about the trial, given the vast difference in cultivation levels, going there could only lead to embarrassment and nothing more!
In other words, the Da Chao Trial isn’t a stage for people from the Great Dynasties!
But things are different now; she has inherited from Senior Mu Qinglian and suddenly broke through to the Fourth Turn of the Great Supreme Realm, and now even reached the Fifth Turn!
She may not secure a great place, but she definitely qualifies to participate!
Earlier, she also didn’t think Su Chen qualified, but his performance on Qu Minghe indicated that Su Chen might have achieved the Second Turn of the Great Supreme Realm, and has improved significantly since then, so he qualifies too!
With both qualified, naturally, they were more interested, and upon inquiry, they found out the current Da Chao Trial is soon!
She only learned of the Si Tian Pavilion after collecting a lot of information about the Da Chao Trial!
That’s why she hastily came to find Su Chen and tell him in person!
On one hand, because she somewhat guessed Su Chen values the Spring of Life, on the other hand, she missed him, wanting to see where he lived!
"Su Chen, there are two things I need to tell you."
Ji Ya’s expression turned serious:
"First, the forces of the Ancient Dynasty are all historically powerful, possessing strength beyond ordinary imagination, and those participating in the Da Chao Trial are essentially all above the Great Supreme Realm!"
"Aspiring for first place is almost dreaming, and even securing a top-three finish is nearly impossible!"
"Second, even if you secure first, there’s no guarantee you’ll learn about the Spring of Life!"
"No matter what, I have to try!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
For him, even if there’s the slightest hope, he must strive for it!
"There’s no harm in trying!"
Ji Ya nodded:
"After the Da Chao Trial ends, we can see if there’s another way to contact Si Tian Pavilion for some information!"
Honestly, this was Ji Ya’s real thought!
She never considered Su Chen actually winning first place; mainly just seeing if there were other ways to get useful information, even clues from Si Tian Pavilion!
But she didn’t know, when Su Chen said he’d try, he meant he’d strive for first!
In Su Chen’s heart, securing first place was a must!
Whether Si Tian Pavilion knows about the Spring of Life or not, with this chance, he won’t give up!
As for Ji Ya’s suggestion of finding other ways, he barely considered it!
If first place allows you to ask, why not aim for first?!
It’s the simplest and most effective method!
Though he’s not confident now, hearing Ji Ya’s description, the power of those ancient forces is terrifying!
He thought he could relax for a while, but unexpectedly, there’s suddenly such pressure!
Moreover, this time is unlike before—failure is not an option!
The two chatted some more, and after roughly half a shichen, Ji Ya stood up saying:
"That’s about it, I’ll take my leave now!"
"Leaving so soon?!"
Su Chen asked in surprise, as Ji Ya had just arrived, and he planned to invite her to stay for a few days!
"I need to go back and prepare too!"
Ji Ya said with a smile:
"Though getting a top spot seems unlikely, I must still strive for a good place!"
Su Chen agreed, time was indeed short!
"In that case, I won’t keep you. Later, I’ll come find you, and then we’ll go to the Ancient Capital together!"
Su Chen stood up as well.
He was truly moved, given how tight time was, Ji Ya still took the time to come personally and tell him this!
"Alright!"
Ji Ya nodded with a faint smile.
Then, Su Chen escorted Ji Ya to the door; with her call, a White-crowned Griffin swooped down from the sky!
To Su Chen’s surprise, this White-crowned Griffin was at the Seventh Turn of the Minor Supreme Realm!
Seeing Su Chen’s expression, Ji Ya smiled and said:
"This is the highest cultivated and fastest flying beast from the Imperial Palace, father hopes I can reduce travel time!"
Su Chen nodded upon hearing this; it was clear Ji Haotian highly valued this Da Chao Trial too!
But that was expected; just qualifying for Ji Ya was a huge honor!
"I’ll be off!"
Ji Ya said with another smile, and then the White-crowned Griffin flew up and away into the distance!
Watching the White-crowned Griffin vanish into the horizon, Su Chen turned back inside.
His heart felt heavy; he didn’t know how to face the women!
He intended to spend more time with them, to make it up to them!
But now..., he feared he would disappoint them again?
Throughout, he felt most guilty toward these women around him, often separated, and even frequently worrying for him!
Yet, they never had a word of complaint!
