1111 Grey’s Cockiness
Chapter 1111 Grey’s Cockiness
The group were separated when they stepped in and only Void and Alice were in the same place as Grey, the others seemed to have been transported to another place.
Grey, Alice and Void were not the only ones present here. There were still a large number of people. Afterall, the number of people who entered the place was by no means small.
The group appeared in a hall, in this hall, there was a large throne that was in the middle, facing them. Beside the large throne, there were five smaller thrones. Other than the thrones, there were a large number of chairs as well.
Grey guessed that this was most likely the place where the True God and the other people held a meeting.
When they entered, they seemed to hear some inaudible voices, arguing.
Everyone looked at the thrones curiously.
"What do we do now?"
Someone from the crowd asked.
They didn't see any way out of this hall, so it was clear that they had to search for the way out. There should be some good things here as well, so they wanted to also search for them.
Some people suggested that they should check out the thrones.
Alice and Void were about to move when Grey stopped them.
"I don't think it's that easy. Leaving this place is definitely associated with those thrones, but we shouldn't be careless." He said thoughtfully while staring at the thrones.
He was not the only one who had this thought as well. Some people didn't move, waiting for the others to investigate first. Only after they've confirmed that it wasn't dangerous would they head out.
The person who suggested this was in the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane, seeing that others wanted him to take the lead, he snorted and randomly pointed at a Peak Sage Plane Elementalist at the side.
"You, go and test it out."
The face of the Sage Plane Elementalist he pointed turned pale, he knew that it was most likely dangerous, so the fact that he was the one chosen meant that he would die and the others would learn from his mistake.
To him, this was a painful pill to swallow.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. He gritted his teeth and walked toward the thrones.
He didn't dare to go for the biggest throne, so he went for one of the smaller ones. At least, he might be able to survive the attack from this one if there was any.
When he got close to the throne, he sent a small wisp of wind element at it. He was a Wind Elementalist, so he went for the softest possible way to test it out.
The attack hit it while the young man bolted away for his life.
The result was not what they expected, rather, a gentle force came from the throne and wrapped itself around the young man who was trying to escape. Before anyone could react, the young man was nowhere to be seen.
The expressions of everyone changed when they saw this. None of them knew if the young man was alive or dead.
"I sensed spatial fluctuations."
A Space Elementalist in the crowd said.
Other Space Elementalists chimed in to agree to what this person said. Although they couldn't be sure, they still felt the possibility of this person being killed was low, rather, he was most likely teleported to another place.
This place was strange to begin with.
Grey looked at the thrones, then at Alice. Void was clearly waiting for Grey's go ahead so they could go as well. Others had started moving, interacting with the thrones and being teleported away.
A larger disturbance came from the side, someone had touched the largest throne, and the commotion was quite bigger compared to the other ones.
The person who touched it wasn't teleported instantly, but only after a few seconds.
This person was in the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane, the same person who suggested they investigated the thrones.
When the others saw this, they all instinctively wanted to head over there. But something odd happened when the next person tried to interact with it.
The moment the person's elemental essence touched it, the person screamed and was almost killed. If not for the person acting fast, he would've died.
The expression of Grey and the others changed drastically.
'These things are testing people before teleporting them away?'
This was the thought that came into his head the moment he saw this. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the teleportation of the Mid stage Elemental Venerable was slower than that of others when they used the smaller thrones. It most likely had something to do with the large throne.
"Do you think it's accessing people's strength?" Alice asked.
The first person who used that throne was in the Mid stages, but this person who was almost killed was still in the Early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane. If that was the case, that meant only those in the Mid stages or with strength in the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane could use that throne.
"That might not be the case, let's watch." Grey replied.
He didn't feel like that was the case. Of course, he wasn't sure as well. Maybe when the next person tries it, they will know the requirements of using this throne.
Grey was not the only one who was analyzing the thrones. The others were also making their own deductions. Some time later another Mid stage Elemental Venerable stepped out, after interacting with the large throne, he let out a muffled groan and was sent flying.
Seeing the figure crashing on the ground, the expression of the others changed once again. Looks like strength was not the only thing needed, or it was probably not what was needed to step into the space there. Luckily for this person, he wasn't as injured as the Early stage Elemental Venerable who tried it out before him.
Grey looked at the throne once again, before turning to Alice, "Do you think we should try it? The smaller ones are safer, but if there is anything to gain, the larger one should have more things."
Alice didn't hurry to make up her mind, the risk was quite large. If she didn't meet the requirements, she would be injured.
"What do you think?" She asked Grey.
"I'll naturally meet whatever requirements is set." Grey said matter-of-factly.
He didn't even have the least bit of reservations, he outright said it. Of everyone here, if they were to ask who the most talented was, he was probably the number one. Everyone in the Elemental Venerable Plane that was present here was at least two to three years older than him. Adding the fact that he started cultivating three years later than others, and was also in a continent with lesser elemental essence, he felt for a fact that none of the people present was more talented than he was.
Of course, there is also the possibility that this thing was not testing talent. Either, he would find out when he got there.
Alice was left speechless when she heard this, she was about to speak when Void added.
"As long as he can go, so can I." Void was even more carefree compared to Grey.
It should be known that Void was very lazy when it came to cultivating, if not for Grey forcing him at times, he would never cultivate for a long time. He even felt his talent was higher than Grey's.
Grey could increase his elemental grades to the highest level which would definitely increase his talent, Void on the other hand was born with the highest elemental grade, and it was for all his elements. There is a difference between the two, one was working towards it, while the other didn't even need to do anything. It was clear as day who the superior one was.
Alice felt a headache when she heard the duo brag. Well, she couldn't really call it bragging. Grey and Void were special, so, yes, there's a high chance that they could enter. There wasn't even a bit of doubt in their eyes.
"Since you're confident, let's go. Standing here is not good for us." She urged them.
Some people had already given up on the large throne and were using the smaller ones. Not everyone wanted to risk their lives for something they didn't know if they could pass.
There were naturally people who also went to test it out, some passed while others failed.
Of all the people testing the large throne, not even five percent had been successful. Around forty people had tried it, yet of the forty people, only three had gone in. It was a staggering number.
Most of the people had managed to enter the smaller thrones, but surprisingly, some people were not able to do so.
Grey, Alice, and Void finally walked in the direction of the large throne. They were the ones with the lowest realm that had walked in that direction.
