A huge beam appeared out of nowhere in the center of the Unbreakable Mountain. It was a teleportation circle that was connected to the entrance of the Qingyun Alliance. Only warriors that held all three different badges could enter the circle.

Ye Mo and the other three warriors were surprised by sudden footsteps. None of them dared to sleep in the midst of the tense situation.

People began to approach the mountain from every direction. In just 12 hours, more than thousands of people had gathered around the Unbreakable Mountain in Western Zhou.

They were all around 15 or 16 years of age, and even the weakest among them had reached the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm while the stronger warriors were around the Energy Shaping Second Realm. Ye Mo could even sense a few Energy Shaping Third Realm warriors in the crowd.

These warriors had the blessing of being born into a big clan where they had the resources to reach the Energy Shaping Third Realm before turning 16.

Ye Mo was just a nobody among them.

All these people were proud of themselves. More than half of them had their weapons on their back. Some carried sword while others carried spears or machetes.

Most of them gathered around warriors from their own city.

There were only two warriors from the Limestone City while most other cities had more than five warriors participating.

“The amount of people gathered here is just way too bizarre,” Ye Mo exclaimed.

“Yes, but this is still fewer than other previous years,” Li Suifeng said as he scanned the crowd. “I suppose there are around 2,000 people gathered here today. But even with this huge amount, no more than 500 people will be able to get into the Qingyun Alliance.”

The warriors that were gathered here were the best of the best from each of Tianwu Kingdom’s city. None of them were forces to be taken lightly.

Ye Mo nodded as a dozen of disciples wearing the Qingyun Alliance’s training robe appeared at the top of the mountain.

“Greetings! I’m the leader of the supervisor team for this entrance test. My name is Yun Shan,” the leader shouted. “The entrance test will begin tomorrow. Warriors that fail to arrive at the Unbreakable Mountain by tomorrow at noon will be disqualified. All of you will have the chance to withdraw now because the price for entering the mountain could be death!”

A few Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm who thought themselves to be geniuses realized that they were only at the bottom when they had gathered at the mountain.

Ye Mo initially thought that many would forfeit, but to his surprise, only a few did so.

“Hey, you guys are from the Mo City, right?” One of the participants shouted to another group of people. “You guys better forfeit or you all will definitely perish on the mountain.”

“Looks like the geniuses from the Luohu City aren’t as good as their predecessors,” the other group bit back. “Only one Energy Shaping First Realm warrior? You guys would be lucky if even one of you make it to the QIngyun Alliance!”

Because of what Yun Shan had just announced, the crowd began to mock each other.

Yun Shan scanned the crowd and laid his eyes on a Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm warrior. The warrior had a big body and short hair.

“You!” Yun Shan shouted while pointing at the warrior. “What’s your name? Which city are you from?”

“Lei Ting!” the warrior replied. “I’m from Tianlei City!”

“Tianlei City? Isn’t that one of the weakest cities around Western Zhou? What a rare sight for a Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm warrior to come from there!” Yun Shen laughed in surprise. “I suggest you forfeit right now. Your power is definitely the weakest among these warriors. Once you’ve entered the mountain, you’ll be the first prey for all of them. This is for your own good. Not only for you, but it’s also best that all other Spirit Cultivating Eight Realm warriors leave now. Even though proving your worth is important, your life is worth much more than that.”

As soon as Yun Shan finished what he was saying, cunning smiles appeared on the faces of Energy Shaping Realm warriors.

“Forfeit?” Lei Ting smirked. “There’s no way I’m going to forfeit when I’m already here. If I leave now, everything that I’ve done up until now will be a waste. We have to be fearless if we want to be a true warrior.”

“He’s right!” One of the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm warriors agreed. “We won’t quit! If it’s death that’s waiting for us at the end, then we’ll gladly accept it.”

Even though they were weaker than other warriors, they had a stronger will than other warriors.

It wasn’t that their talent wasn’t as strong as other warriors’, it was just that they don’t have the same training resources as they do.

“What a stupid bunch of people,” one of the Energy Shaping Second Realm warriors said. “Do you even know the difference between the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm and the Energy Shaping Realm? It’s not something that can be canceled out with courage and valor. The entrance test is not a game. If you die, then everything will end for you.”

The warrior who said that came from the Yun Clan in Tianyong City. His name was Yun Baitian.

“We have the right to participate in the entrance test. I don’t think you have the right to stop us, am I right? Senior Yun Shan?” Lei Ting said without a hint of fear.

“How dare you speak to Senior Yun Shan like that! He’s only reminding you what could happen!” One of the disciples standing next to Yun Shan scolded.

“What the hell is wrong with these disciples?” Ling Xue scolded. “These warriors got the right to participate with their own hands. How dare they try to persuade them to leave.”

“Who said that! Come out!” one of the disciples shouted.

Just as Ling Xue was about to stand out, Ye Mo stopped her and laughed, “It’s me!”

“You?” The disciple looked at Ye Mo dumbfoundedly. He thought that the voice had belonged to a girl, but the person who came out was a boy. “Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm? You better leave, too, or you’ll only meet you end if you enter the mountain.”

“Like that would happen,” Ye Mo said. “If I may, why are you guys trying to get rid of us? Are you guys planning something?”

“How dare you accuse us!”

The disciple unsheathed his sword and sent an Energy Sword towards Ye Mo.
