I am the young master

——(POV third person, on the edge of the [Eternal Wail Chasm])——

As the heavenly sword sect disciples started jumping into the chasm, the other disciples also followed and soon all of the holy lands had already entered the trial. Now it was the time for the 30 disciples from smaller powers to start their 'jump session'.

​​

The elders from the seven holy lands started erecting a massive protective formation around the trial's entry location so that no one can enter it after this.

As verified in the past, the elders from the seven holy lands who were adequate and well-qualified in the art of formation figured out that this formation can only allow the entry for 113 living entities in each time interval.

But what they forgot to consider is that, like any other field, theoretical results will not always match with the practical observations.

When they did test the trial with its full capacity of 113 participants, the trial formation got so unstable that they thought they have lost all of the disciples in the [Eternal Wail Trial] and everybody was on high alert.

That year, many disciples were literally thrown out of the trial space until the main formation was stable again.

After that, many more researches were done on the trial formation to come up with a feasible solution for this predicament and they found one.

Using the formation's full capacity makes the power in the formation deplete faster than it can recover, so they calculated again and come up with a hundred as the golden number for the number of participants.

Now, after all these years, to stop anyone who might try and jump in and as a result, ruin the trial for others, the seven holy lands always use a one-way protective formation that stops everyone under the True Qi realm from entering the chasm.

What about ones above the True Qi realm? Well, as the trial ground doesn't accept them, the [Eternal wail chasm] would kill them so there is no need for anything extra for the formation.

——(POV Li Huang, on the edge of losing his shit)——

'I'm safe, right?'

I was dropping like a sack of potatoes and I was thinking about what could have gone wrong.

I fit the cultivation requirement so there shouldn't be any problem with that.

I'm also under the age of 30 however you look at it so it can't be the prob— Suddenly I thought of something.

'You can't be serious.'

If this trial checks the soul age somehow, I don't fit the requirement so that might be the case.

'If it is, this is going to be awkward.' I thought.

You might be thinking that I'm too relaxed, but this is only natural. As a certified and well-known paranoid, I am ready for anything and everything.

Even right now I have an artifact ready that can teleport me almost instantly to the place that I was a minute ago.

'With this in my hands, there is no way that something can happen to m—' The moment I was thinking about it, a strong wind blow from a canyon in the edge of the chasm and the damn artifact slipped out of my hand.

'…now I think this is a good time to panic.' I didn't have any spares for this artifact, even I'm not that paranoid to do that.

Okay I admit, I'm not that rich to do so and buy spares for this kind of artifact that is high priced even for me.

As I was looking for the damn artifact so that maybe I would be able to find it despite every law of physic denying the possibility, I found myself face-planted to the ground.

Getting up I looked at my surroundings and found out that I'm not in the [Eternal wail chasm] anymore and presumingly got teleported to the trial space.

The timing of teleportation was a little off for me, but I can't really complain to anyone about it.

'Note to self; don't put your lifeline in your hand when you might drop it.' They say that you live and you learn, and I can assure you that I have learned a great lesson.

Around me, I could see sand as far as the eye could reach. Not the beach kind of sand, the desert kind of sand. It was hot, sandy and hot again.

In normal cases everyone would say that this location is not the best for them, but honestly, this is great for my plan.

This place is hard to live in so fewer people were here in all of the trials that were held here and this time too, not many disciples should be interested in this location so I can loot everything here.

"Let's see what we have here." I mumbled while grinning.

——(POV third person)——

Li Huang was going around his entry location in the trial and was using an artifact to make a simple map of the locations that he has been to so far.

This artifact is simply called [Bird eye]. Maybe a name like [Eye of the Phoenix] would be more classy but it seems that this tool is too ordinary for such a lofty name.

The way this artifact work is simple, using your Qi sense you survey your surroundings and this artifact stores the information so that you can review it later.

With this Li Huang could easily have a map on his person and lookup for any type of structure that he might find odd in retrospective.

Luckily for him, his relative location wasn't infested with beasts so he didn't have to fight immediately.

'Now let me see if the [Peeping eye of heaven] can help me here!' Li Huang was grinning madly. If his idea work, he is going to sweep the trial.

Looking around him, he found some locations that might contain formations as they were emitting light when he looked at them.

The [Peeping eye of heaven] is an artifact in the level of seven holy land's weapons but it can't do the impossible. This means that you can't see inside of a formation using this so using it like that is not possible.

What you can do is to check the formation itself. Why would you do that?

'The better the gem inside, the better the security.' Li Huang thought while going to a point of interest that he found.

If the formation is stronger, this means that loot inside should be more precious. Each high-grade treasure, from pills to weapons to the medicinal herbs would attract people and beasts with their natural aura so to conceal that you would need better formation.

Of course, the outside part of the formation is the same for all of them, but the true intricate of a formation is not hidden to the [Peeping eye of heaven].

If this plan works, Li Huang can find the best items in the shortest time.

Li Huang now was in front of a formation that would take you to a small test inside it and would reward you if you finish it successfully.

Looking at the blinding brightness of the formation, Li Huang was almost sure that he hit the jackpot.

'Now I can become filthy rich.' His eyes were shining when he stepped into the formation, partly because of using the [Peeping eye of heaven] and partly because of his excitement.
