The next morning, sunlight filtered through the clouds, illuminating the entire palace. Inside the side hall, a group of attendants stood in neat rows, holding roll books and preparing to call the roll for the second round of trials. They wore solemn expressions and concentrated gazes, seeming both expectant and nervous about today's task.
At the word of command, the attendants called the roll in turn. Each name was clearly voiced, echoing through the palace. The immortal lords responded one after another in loud, resolute tones. Soon, all the immortals participating in the second round of trials had gathered, forming neat ranks as they awaited further instructions.
Among these immortals, three stood out in particular: the three immortal lords from Jiejiao. Draped in magnificent Taoist robes, they radiated formidable power. Their faces beamed with confidence and determination, as if they had absolute faith in this trial. In the first round, they had demonstrated extraordinary strength and wisdom, winning the admiration and respect of all the immortals present.
