The sun hung lazily in the late afternoon sky, its rays painting the landscape of Qi Yun Peak in a rich, golden glow. The tranquil atmosphere was accentuated by the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze and the melodic chirping of distant birds, creating a serene backdrop that enveloped Xue Xinyu and Lǐ Tāo as they sat in the room. Surrounded by meticulously tended blue-themed decorations that adorned his residence. The view from the mountain's summit through the window was breathtaking.
Lǐ Tāo leaned forward, his expression serious, breaking the peaceful ambiance with his inquiry. "Xinyu Da Ge, do you intend to permit Liang Zhiguan to participate in the Wayfarer's Trial?" His voice carried the weight of something significant, drawing Xue Xinyu's undivided attention.
The Wayfarer's Trial loomed large in the minds of disciples across the sects, a revered test of skill and fortitude where the most promising talents were forged or broken. Lingyun Peak, perennially boasting the finest disciples, held the prestigious title of producing the realm's top talents, with Qi Yun Peak perennially playing the role of talented runner-up.
"Why wouldn't I allow him to participate?" Xue Xinyu ponders aloud, his brain churning like a hamster on a wheel. There's something fishy about this trial, and with his memory resembling Swiss cheese, it takes him aeons to connect the dots.
Ah, the Wayfarer's Trial, that legendary crucible where disciples were forged into iron-willed warriors or, more likely, mildly traumatised survivors. Every sect's chance to flex their muscle and flaunt their top-notch talent for all the realm to see.
Lingyun Peak dominates like an undisputed heavyweight champion while Qi Yun Peak consistently plays second fiddle like a sad trombone.
The Wayfarer's Trial was a significant arc in the novel. Before the trial existed, the location was a rift, opening up between Ende and a distant mountain from the peaks, likely for undead creatures to invade the sect.
Qi Yun Peak, the main peak responsible for handling such issues, arrived at the site. During that time, the area mainly resided in the mountains. During their efforts to close the rift and repel the creatures from Ende, Huai Xiaozhun's teacher, Lan Yunlong, died. This event held successful importance, although the author never provided a complete explanation of how it all unfolded.
The trial was likely to take place in a few months, as Lǐ Tāo had first discussed it with Huai Xiaozhun at that time in the novel.
"I was rather uncertain, but I suppose his background won't ever hold you back," Lǐ Tāo remarked, chuckling. Even though Huai Xiaozhun had a much more intricate backstory, Liang Zhiguan also had a questionable one. He experienced abandonment not just once, but twice. Of course, only readers of the novel would be aware of that.
Lǐ Tāo discussed the circulating rumours, rumours initiated by Liang Chen. The rumours weren't utterly inaccurate. Both the teacher and student encountered accusations and endured comparable consequences, which was quite amusing.
