"Hu Ge, you look exhausted. Must be from this long journey. You can go back now. And just take a day off." Chief Jugge Huan said to him. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

"I'm fine Chief. I don't need to take any rest. Considering our current situation. You need me even more than ever." Hu Ge replied sincerely.

"I insist, Hu Ge. And I'm not asking you this. Just go and take a day off. Hee hee hee, don't worry, I know you are a workaholic. So from the following day onward, you shall be working like a cow, with hardly any time for you to even take a wink of a nap." Chief Jugge Huan said in a commanding tone and chuckled in the end.

"Then, your servant Hu Ge, thank you, sir. And I shall take my leave." Hu Ge cupped his hands toward him, bowing slightly, and disappeared from inside the room.

"Hah, this kid! Sometimes having a tough subordinate is really a handful. I need to work all this up just to convince him to take a leave of a day." Chief Jugge Huan sighed and murmured softly, "Hmm, I don't know whether this will lead to either the downfall or the rise of my Hall Of Alchemy. But I'll still bet all of it on Joey. I just need to believe him."

—---------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, two hot news had already been circulated all over the entire Central Continent. It became the topic of discussion for every cultivator at various levels. The news was directly coming from the Hall Of Treasure. The first news was regarding the breakthrough of the old Chief of the Hall Of Alchemy into the Semi-Boundless Realm. And the last news was even more overwhelming, making all the cultivators on the Central Continent into an uproar of excitement; it was regarding the news of the annihilation of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. It was also said that it was the work of a rookie alchemy from the Hall of Alchemy called Joey, who was also the champion of this term's Open Alchemy Contest.

Everyone cheered over his name, and the reputation of the Hall of Alchemy skyrocketed as a new savior of the Central Continent.

The existence of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect had already become an eyesore to everyone because of their brutal, dirty works all around the Central continent. But no one, until now, came out to punish them. So it was understandable now that they all considered the Hall Of Alchemy as their savour and praised them up to the sky.

Not only that, almost all the heads of the sects, the clans and the Organizations in Tier-9 and below levels had gathered at the Seven Stars Sect to congratulate the old Chief of the Hall Of Alchemy, Jugge Haun, for his success in becoming a fresh Semi-Boundless Realm expert, bearing special gifts with them.

Additionally, all the special envoys of the Six Supreme Clans and the Four Tier-10 Sects came the following day, sending their regards to their heads and patriarchs for Chief Jugge Huan's successful breakthrough and also to recruit him into their ranks of their organizations. Chief Jugge Huan receipt all of them warmly and eventually declined all of them politely.

The Blood Temple, The Delta Valley in the Redcliffe Pilgrimage,

A giant luster black dragon with a pair of red eyes was currently crouching over the 16th platform, lying there lazily. It was the black dragon king, Ao Shun.

"Hmm, that smell! More humans." He sniffed the air and muttered, "It's 85 of them. All of them seemed to have good martial aptitude. Oh, one of them is at the beginning level of the Semi-Boundless realm. Interesting!" He then thought about something and made his final decision.

"fine, I will help you all this once. Think of this as a repayment for the Daoist Zen." Ao Shun said and blew out a red color essence from his mouth, sending downward, and hitting all the 13 stone statues on the below platforms except for the 14th stone statue of the Immortal Pill Dao Master.

,m "I have already activated more than 70% of the Inheritance Stone Statues of all those 13 peerless Daoist masters. The latter part, you all just need to depend on your luck and affinities with those stone statues," Ao Shun said, and then closed his eyes.

"Until now, the boy is doing well so far. Alright, time to get a bit serious. The next step of his trial will be...Hee hee hee hee… his…" He murmured softly while smirking goofily. And then he began to focus his attention toward his part of his soul sea where the trial was currently taking place.

Meanwhile, outside the Blood Temple, the 85 members of the six groups finally reached and landed on the ground of the Delta valley that was within the intersection of the three mountain ranges.

They all looked around and saw several numbers of giant stone statues of various beasts, humans, asuras, and gods, all over the small valley. All of them were dyed red, which was exactly like blood.

"Exactly like those books described, there is not even a single blade of grass growing here. Everything is red here." Song Daren said, while observing his surroundings.

"Alright, everyone listens up!" The Old man, Xi Xuan, the leader of this group, announced, "We are all going to the Blood Temple. Follow me." He then began walking toward the center of the valley through the footpath. And all the others closely followed behind him. Actually, this was his fifth time coming here bringing these creams of crops of the Six Supreme Clans and the Two Great Swords Sects.

Soon, they reached and entered the Blood Temple.

"Don't you all feel familiar filling from all of these stone statues?" The Old man, Xi Xuan asked.

Almost everyone nodded their heads.

"Ignore them. Let's try our luck first from all those Stone Statues on those platforms over there." Xi Xuan instructed, pointing at those several steps and those giant platforms. Soon, they all began to climb up the steps and reached the Stone statue of the 1st platform.
