Ancient Dream Collector - Chapter 12. Immortal Demon Faction Trials And The Hidden World.

Hearing Old Chang describing himself as a Demon.

Many people hearing him shivered a little, they have seen many fights and some even have experienced many life and death battles but the feeling they are getting from Old Chang is as if a Grim reaper was standing there and they won’t even get a chance to resist if he made a move against them.

And there was a reason they got that kind of feeling, as many people present were only Xiantian Spirit Peak or Early Profound Xiantian, even the most powerful ones like the Old man from Purple Bamboo Sword sect and Old Sword were Only Peak Profound Xiantian Spirit.

So getting a feeling of danger from Old Chang who has the power to defeat an early martial king realm is totally a fact, even if they can’t feel any energy from him but some time the powerful warriors believe in their instinct rather than what they see.

Earlier when everyone had just entered the barrier Xiao Shi was still busy thinking about the ideas to level up, but his thinking process was interrupted by the systems notification.

*DING*

[Sub-Quest Available]

He was actually little scared as what type of unbelievable quest it would provide this time, without waiting for long he opened the notification and was shocked and exited a little as a genuine smile formed on his face.

[Sub-Quest: Stop the Evil faction Poisonous Skeleton from killing people present here.

Description: Poisonous Skeleton Sect members are planning a massacre by poisoning every one present and then steal the sacred treasure.

Stop them before they can use the hidden Poisonous Artifact.

Rewards: Yin-Yang Flames, Alchemy God Beginners Manual, 1000 Credit points.

Failure: Results in everyone present dying and the trials will be interrupted resulting in failure of both quests.]

‘Hey system, they are evil guys right?’ he asked.

[YES]

‘Hehe, EXP Chan! My love! I was planning to come and meet you but you came to me on your own.’ Being an otaku in his last life still effects his mind some times when was too much exited.

[Do you accept the Quest? Y/N]

‘Yes’

He quickly told everything about the Evil Faction and wat they are planning to do, what he needs to so was very clear and that was Kill them before they could kill others.

All the things then went on as they were, people came in, they greeted Old Chang, Old Chang telling them, about the trials, Poisonous Skeleton getting offended and attacking Old Chang, then Old Chang killing them all in seconds, then Introducing himself as a Demon.

Everything went as he planned.

After, the last one the leader died the notifications filled the screen and kept going for a minute before he could see them clearly.

*DING*

[Host has levelled up to level 25]

[Congratulation Host: you have earned total 4000 Soul Points.]

[Congratulations Host you have gained 500, Flying swords, 30 Storage rings, and a Mid Gold Rank Poisonous artifact.]

[Congratulation Host: you have earned a title, Grim Reaper.]

[Congratulation Host: you can now use your Power of Devine Dream Creator.]

[Congratulation Host on completing the Sub-Quest Successfully, to collect the rewards please visit the inventory.]

Hearing the notifications he was a little shocked as he hadn’t expected that he would be able to use his powers from past life this early, but still it made him a little exited as he really wanted to see the changes happened to his created world after his death in past life.

Back to Old Chang and others.

Old Chang was still standing on his earlier place, as he didn’t even move a single step before and after the fight.

“Let’s start again, my given name is Old Chang and you all are present in the Immortal Demon Trial Grounds.” Old Chang said slowly as he started to explain about the trial grounds.

“As you all may know that at present you all are living inside the Safe Zone, which are the 9 known Continents, and beyond that is out of your reach as that part of world is very Dangerous for you all to even step foot on the boundaries.” He again said but this time all the cultivators present were shocked as they didn’t even knew about this, they all thought that the world was already big enough with boundless 9 continents and now the old man was saying that beside the 9 continents there was also other palaces that were even more dangerous than the current one.

In fact even Xiao Shi was shocked hearing about it and asked the system why he didn’t knew about it, and just how much big is this world?

[[Host the world you are in is boundless and unless you are able to breakthrough from the mortal realm and enter the immortal realm you won’t be able to find its end easily.

The current place host is born is in the part called Safe Zone divided in 9 continents which is situated on the highest grounds, where the beasts and other creatures can’t reach easily.

To show it in percentage the safe zone is covering around 2% of the world and the rest existed outside this two percent.]]

‘And you wanted me to create my own world just like this?’ Xiao Shi was feeling like a mistreated concubine who was cheated and thrown out, he didn’t even want to curse right now as no words will come out from his mouth.

[Calm Down host, let system do the explanation.]

[Host may have forgotten about the creation menu inside the system, it’s main function was to create the things the host wants in the exchange of credit Points and Other things, and Once host will start cultivating his powers, and rise in ranks you will be able to understand how you will be able to complete the main-quest.]

‘Oh, sorry I forgot’

[Don’t worry host.]

He again started listening to Old Chang.

“What Senior said is correct, but only High ranking Cultivators knew about this knowledge as it was controlled by higher ranking Sects and empires from every continent, as this news will cause a great chaos.” Old man from purple bamboo sect justified that Old Chang was actually telling the truth which caused all the cultivators present there to release cold breath.

Old Sword and other’s knew that the news has been spilled and the little chaos they feared will happen when the news about this will spread to general masses.

“Do not worry about it, there is no reason to limit this news to the general public, as there is no danger in even knowing that much.” Old Chang said and it was correct as even if you know that there is a bigger place out there, to reach there you first need to have that much power to at least travel there on your own safely.

“The world is Bigger than you all have imagined but no one in the past have thought that there was a chance to explore the Hidden World on your own, but now you all have the chance to get a better future and reach a higher level of the Cultivation, We from The Immortal Demon Faction will give you all a chance to participate in the trials to test out your luck.”

“One month’s from now on, the trial ground will open and allow anyone who wants to participate in it, but there are also conditions to enter in the trial grounds, the participants must be under 40, and have a pure heart.”

“No matter who they are or what background they has we do not stop any one even if you’re not a cultivator, as long as they meet these qualifications, they will be allowed inside and get a chance to create a better future.” At this time Old Chang sounded like an auctioneer trying to make the crowd know about the benefit of this trial.

But no one actually cared about anything as they were now exited, to the point that an adventurer inside them had awakened and just wanted to run out and tell everyone about what they had heard here, and try to participate in the trials and get the things inside.

As for the rest of the people present here who were older than forty years like old Sword and others felt little bitter inside, seeing them like that Old Chang was not as heartless as he projected him to be, as he asked Xiao Shi, to what to do about it and was little happy with his Master’s answer.

“Cough” “Cough”

Old Chang Coughed to get everyone’s attention back to him.

“There is still something that I wanted to explain everyone as I forgot earlier” saying that he looked towards Old Sword and other’s and then said.

“There will be a place for 1000 people’s who will be allowed beside the others and this time there will be no restrictions on age.”

“In this month we will send the letters of invitation to every sects and Empire’s and select the person worthy, which will give Old Cultivators a chance to enter the trials, the rest will be up to them and their luck.”

This time many Old Cultivators present were happy inside that they may get the chance to participate I the trials.

“Senior, please forgive me for asking, but this junior cannot hold his curiosity inside.” Said the old man on purple sword, as he stopped to look at old Chang seeing no change he continued “what I wanted to ask is what are the benefits if we participate in the trials, and is there enough treasure inside the trials grounds to let everyone participate and test there luck.”

Hearing the old man speak, Old Chang laughed as he said, “as I had already said earlier, we are from Immortal Demon Faction and we are not from your safe zone this much clarification will be enough to let you all know the answer for your questions.”

“Now return and wait for the trials to start, and also spread the news about the trials as this trial is also a selection process and the best will get the chance to join our faction.”

Saying up to that Old Chang body started excluding heavy pressure, his face became cold as burst of killing intent filled the air like a shockwave and behind him a thirty meter tall image of a metallic demonic figure formed as its eyes stared at all the cultivators.

“And also tell everyone about Poisonous Skeleton Sect, if anyone try any thing funny their fate will be same as the Evil Faction from earlier.”

“At that time there will be only two options, Be annihilated or Be annihilated.”

Saying up to that he moved backward and entered the fog again, all the people watching him sighed in relief and not wasting any time everyone turned back and travelled back as fast as they could.

Mean while Xiao Shi remembered some thing which scared him to the core.

As he hurriedly teleported back home.
