The Innkeeper

Chapter 1222 Warning



Chapter 1222  Warning

The Trial of Eternity was a zone that could harm immortals, regardless of the level. Even Celestial immortals could face dangers there, though they faced other kinds of dangers than the lightning and fire, which is why if the zone suddenly entered the Origin realm openly, the disaster it could bring was incalculable. It would literally take a Dao Lord to contain it, yet using powers on the Dao Lord level within the Origin realm was forbidden as it could damage the realm.

Lex knew all of this, and in fact, he knew a little more than the Oolin was telling. Through his various sources, such as Velma, and the Infinity Emporium, Lex had stumbled upon a speculation of how the place might have been formed.

It was a speculation, without any information about who had the speculation, or how likely it was, yet Lex had a feeling it was right. The speculation stated that the Trial of Eternity was a zone that was created as a result of someone at the peak of the Celestial realm undergoing a major tribulation.

A major tribulation was one that happened between realms, such as between the Nascent realm and the Earth Immortal realm, or the Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal realm. After the Celestial realm should be the Dao Lord realm, right? Or did one have to first become a Demi Dao Lord?

Lex wasn\'t too clear about the exact specifics, but the point was he found it entirely believable that such a place could have been created through such a way.

Lex, while maintaining a perfectly stoic expression, was continuing to let his thoughts wander when someone approached him and reached out with their spirit sense, interrupting him.

"Are you… alright?" asked Giselle, looking slightly concerned.

Her approach had startled Lex, because he literally couldn\'t sense her coming. He had noticed this before in the maze, but she could obscure her presence in a way that he could not decipher, which was quite interesting.

"Ah, yes, I am perfectly fine, thank you for asking," responded Lex, politely. "How are you doing? Congratulations on beating the tower, by the way. I really wasn\'t expecting you to win so easily."

Giselle was not expecting to find Lex so chipper, especially considering the things she had heard about him lately, or how he appeared to be at the moment. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"It was an unfair competition," she admitted. "I had an advantage over everyone else since I came prepared for it. My information channels are quite good, which is actually why I was reaching out to you. I… heard about your situation. If you want, I can try to look for possible solutions."

Lex raised an eyebrow out of curiosity, then smiled. It was true, Giselle\'s information sources were quite incredible, and he didn\'t doubt that she had some advantages. But then again, who didn\'t?

"Thank you for the offer, but… I think I have the situation under control. If I ever need your help, however, I won\'t hesitate to reach out."

"It\'s not so easy to find me…" she began saying, but Lex cut her off.

"Yet I found you once before, didn\'t I?" he said with a smile. "Don\'t worry about it. Instead, let me ask you a question. Do you have something planned for this Trial?"

She nodded, not expounding on the matter prematurely.

"I suspected as much. In lieu of our cooperation, I\'ll give you a heads up. The situation inside is going to get really messy. In fact, unless you\'re well prepared to face extreme conditions, I would suggest that you skip out on this trial altogether. It\'s uncertain how things will turn out."

Giselle paused, and looked at Lex deeply. She then looked at his suit, and then took a look around the room as if she understood something.

"Thanks for the heads up," she said seriously. "But I will be participating anyway. This might end up working in my favor. After all, you\'ve already seen that I myself am not without adversaries of my own."

Lex slightly nodded, and then the two split apart, not speaking to each other anymore, though countless had already witnessed the exchange. A short while later, once the Oolin had sufficiently impressed upon everyone the dangers they were about to face, he proceeded to discuss how they would be entering.

"The Trial of Eternity is entirely cut off from the Origin realm, even if it is technically inside the realm itself. As a result, one cannot teleport in, and there is no physical entrance either. The only official way to enter it is to use a ship specially designed for travel between realms, capable of traversing any obstacle, even in the absence of space itself. It is also the only official way to exit, so upon completion of the mission you will need to inform the respective people, who will organize an exit trip and let the Henali know of the situation.

"That also means contact between the Origin realm and the Trial of Eternity is largely cut off, and it is very difficult to get any information across, so be careful."

Afterwards, the Oolin directed the crowds through a corridor towards the impressive vehicle that could travel through the Void.

Jack, who was entirely in a different realm, suddenly started to pay attention to the world through Lex\'s eyes. He wanted to learn everything about Void travel, so that one day he could allow the Jolly Rancher to do the same.
