<h4>Chapter 857: Illusion oasis</h4>


    Staring at the enormous oasis in front of him that didn''t seem to have an end, the information that Shun Long had obtained from the memory jades of the ''White tiger chamber ofmerce'' quickly began to appear in his mind


    ''''The second known trial in the ''City of Immortals'', the Illusion oasis. It is located at the far east of the ''Ten-thousand miles desert'' and is an extremely dangerous trial that can kill even peak-stage Dao Kings.


    Cultivators should be prepared. Upon entering the oasis, the trial will immediately begin!


    Our ''White tiger chamber ofmerce'' has also verified that magic beasts aren''t allowed to step foot into the Illusion oasis. Cultivators with contracted magic beasts will be separated from their beasts at the entrance of the oasis.


    Cultivators traveling in groups will also be separated from their groups upon entering the oasis.


    A cultivation base at the peak of rank 6 in the Dao King realm is the bare minimum to survive past the first stage of this trial.''''


    Shun Long was momentarily surprised when he realized that the information that the ''White tiger chamber ofmerce'' had for the ''Illusion oasis'' was much more detailedpared to the information they had about the stone mural where he hadprehended his sword aura from.


    Additionally, even though it wasn''t mentioned what kind of trial it was going to be or what kind of dangers one would have to face after entering the oasis, the information itself was still quite valuable.


    ''''Brother Shun, it seems that we aren''t the only ones here.''''


    As Little Silver continued to fly towards the oasis in the distance, Bai Longtian and the others soon began to notice therge numbers of rank 6 magic beasts that were gathered around the oasis, looking like a massive armyprised of countless different types of magic beasts.


    Even the ''smallest'' of those magic beasts was more than 4 meters (13ft) tall, while thergest ones exceeded 300 meters (980ft) in height, causing even Little Silver to look like an ant inparison.


    With just a nce, Liu Mei and the others could see that there were at least 6000 early rank 6 magic beasts gathered in this ce, while the middle rank 6 magic beasts numbered more than a thousand.


    The closer they approached to the oasis, the more powerful the magic beasts around them seemed to be.


    At the same time, near the entrance of the oasis itself, Shun Long could see quite a few peak rank 6 magic beasts that were lying in wait, some of them emitting auras that easily rivaled and even exceeded that of Little Silver''s, looking like they were at the cusp of advancing and bing rank 7 magic beasts as well.


    It seemed that the more powerful magic beasts were right in front of the entrance of the ''Illusion oasis'' while the weaker ones were spread around them, not daring to approach too close to those peak rank 6 beasts.


    Whether it was the early rank 6, the middle rank 6, or even the peak rank 6 magic beasts present, every single one of them could sense Little Silver''s sudden arrival, causing them to turn their eyes over.


    And yet, Little Silver ignored the threatening roars of those magic beasts around it, as it continued to fly towards the oasis'' entrance.


    From a distance away, the ''Illusion oasis'' looked like an enormouske that was surrounded by a lush green forest, but as Little Silver approached closer to it, Shun Long finally began to notice an indistinctyer of white fog that was also surrounding the forest, giving off an extremely mysterious sensation that he had never felt before.


    A few momentster, as soon as Little Silver arrived within 500 meters from the oasis'' entrance, its figure suddenly turned stiff before it let out a painful roar.


    ''''ROOOOOOAAAAAAARRR!!''''


    500 meters.


    Whether it was the early rank 6 or the peak rank 6 magic beasts present, none of them could get any closer to the oasis than this.


    Any magic beast that tried to approach any closer than this would immediately feel a terrifying pain assaulting them, powerful enough to easily tear their souls apart.


    Since Shun Long had already formed a spiritual bond with Little Silver, he could clearly sense the ck panther''s emotions, including the pain that it was feeling right now.


    Patting Little Silver''s head, Shun Long didn''t have the ck panther return inside the foggy space in the ''Stone of Time'' and allowed it to stay here instead, before he began to make his way towards the entrance of the oasis along with Jiang Chen and the rest.


    ''''I wonder... just how many people are inside this trial right now?'''' Bai Longtian asked curiously as their group continued to make their way towards the oasis.


    Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, and Xingyi were also curious about this matter, as they stared at the thousands of magic beasts around them without speaking.


    More than 7000 magic beasts were present in this ce, and every single one of them was a magic beast that was still waiting for their master to return.


    This was a truly stunning number!


    With 7000 magic beasts present, it meant that there must have been at least 7000 Dao Kings inside this trial right now.


    But of course, Jiang Chen and the others all understood, that it was impossible for every single Dao King to own a magic beast.


    In fact, those Dao Kings who possessed their own magic beasts were extremely rare.


    If there were so many magic beasts present, it was impossible to imagine how many people were inside the oasis right now.


    Even Shun Long couldn''t possibly estimate the sheer number of Dao Kings that had entered this ce.


    However, there was one thing that he was certain of.


    For so many Dao Kings to have gathered in this ce, the rewards from this trial would definitely exceed the rewards from the ''Demon-fanged city'' by countless times!


    Closing his eyes, Shun Long first spread out his soul sense around his body without holding back, before he took a step forward and entered the forest.
