In the early morning, the crisp and clear chirp of a spiritual bird echoed through the valley.
Zhang Xueling was climbing the steps of the Trial Peak, bathed in the morning glow.
These decorative steps stretched across the mountains and were rarely used thus, serving their purpose this time.
“Junior Brother Zhang, do you want me to give you a lift?” A Foundation Establishment Second Generation disciple in a small-sized Spirit Boat hovered not far from Zhang Xueling.
“Thank you, Senior Brother, but I prefer to walk step by step.” Zhang Xueling said with a smile,
Using the Wind Riding Technique and the Light Body Technique would have made it easy for him to reach the top, but Zhang Xueling loved the scenery in the mountains and valleys, so he chose to hike.
“Alright, I’ll go on ahead then.” The Foundation Establishment Second Generation disciple didn’t insist and turned his Spirit Boat to fly directly towards the mountain peak. Today was the day of the Great Escape Killing
Game, and he couldn’t miss it.
“Senior Brother, take care.’
Zhang Xueling continued to climb the mountain at a leisurely pace.
One hour later, with a clang of the bell, the Great Escape Killing Game began, and Zhang Xueling arrived at the entrance of the Trial Tower.
“Zhang Xueling, follow me,”
A Tool Puppet led Zhang Xueling through the first floor of the Trial Tower and stepped onto a hidden teleportation array.
“Is this the test that the Great Master mentioned?” Zhang Xueling looked at the Soul Illusion Array in front of him, which was about the size of a football field, and asked.
“This formation is called the Millennium Dream Path. Once you enter the formation, you will be in a real dream.”
“In the dream, only by wholeheartedly comprehending the Immortal Path can one exit the formation. Conversely, if your mind is filled with various thoughts, you will be expelled from the dream.”
“One month in the cultivation world will be two years in the dream.”
“The master has already projected all the cultivation techniques and divine abilities in the Scripture Pavilion into the dream. You may immerse yourself in comprehending them.”
“If you can persist in the dream for one year, you will have passed the Great
Master’s test,” said the puppet.
“Twenty-four years of focusing on the Great Dao.”
Looking at the Array in front of him, Zhang Xueling’s eyes flashed with excitement. From the Puppet’s words, he could confirm that the dream was what he had been longing for.
At this moment, Zhang Xueling felt like an internet-addicted teenager locked in an internet cafe, feeling that he could stay there until his death as long as there was food to eat.
When Xu Fan learned that Zhang Xueling had entered the test, he said while looking at the distant Trial Tower, “Don’t let me down. The Sand of Time is needed to maintain this Array.”
Almost all the remaining Sand of Time was given to the Second Avatar to set up the formation.
At this time, a young girl rode on the back of a giant eagle with a wingspan of ten meters, holding a food box in her hand.
The girl jumped off the giant eagle and gently landed in Xu Fan’s small courtyard.
“Great Master, it’s time for breakfast,” Lei Wenxi said respectfully.
“How did you find the time to come over today?” Xu Fan asked with a smile. “l just came out of closed-door cultivation and wanted to see Great Master.” Xu Fan glanced at Lei Wenxi and asked, “Ready to advance to Golden Core?”
“Yes, I’ve already passed the puppet challenge, and in a month, I’ll be preparing for the Golden Core breakthrough,” Lei Wenxi replied.
“Before you leave, go to the Treasure House and get a Spatial Treasure, the Hundred Beasts Garden. It’s better than your Beast-controlling Bag,” Xu Fan said.
There were only three disciples in the Hidden Spirit Sect who were involved in beast control. The Treasure crafted specifically for them was a gesture of care from Xu Fan.
“Great Master, actually I don’t want to go out for cultivation experience, can I not go?” Lei Wenxi mustered up the courage to say.
“This is the rule set by the sect. If you feel lonely, you can go look for your brother. His life has been quite good recently.”
Lei Wenxi’s brother, Thunder Blade, had entered the Golden Core Stage a year earlier and now had a shop specializing in selling spiritual pills in an Immortal City suffering from a severe demon invasion. He had made friends with a group of fellow cultivators who had a chivalrous spirit.
“Alright.” Lei Wenxi said, feeling that her rejection by the Great Master was expected.
“When you go, bring more Spirit-Nourishing Pills. Otherwise, you won’t be able to raise those spiritual beasts by yourself.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
Now, this young girl had already raised more than two hundred spiritual beasts, all of which had been cultivated with her self-refined Spirit-Nourishing Pills into rare breeding pairs or entirely new breeds.
For example, a Snow Eagle soaring and hovering in the sky could engage in battle or unleash a divine ability like a formation, which could change the surrounding weather with its innate ability.
“l don’t plan on taking them all. Just bring Little Flower, Little Yun, Little Butterfly, Little Dragon, and Little Sable.”
“Haha, then Pu Tao is going to have a hard time.” Xu Fan laughed.
Xu Fan and Lei Wenxi chatted while eating until Xu Fan finished his breakfast. Then Lei Wenxi tidied up the tableware and drove the Spirit Boat towards the sect’s dining hall.
“There are still more than sixty stubborn disciples in the sect who haven’t advanced to the Golden Core stage. It seems that we need to push them a little harder.” Xu Fan looked at the distant main peak and squinted.
At this moment, not far from the Hidden Spirit Island on the Outer Sect Island, a newly promoted Outer Elder was arranging the task of sending jade slips to the Golden Core disciples going out for cultivation experience.
A Central Continent map was unfolded, with dozens of Immortal Cities marked on it. All these Immortal Cities had Golden Core disciples present.
“Xiuyun Fellow Daoist, you are responsible for the delivery task of Inner Sect disciples in Immortal Cities numbered one to six.” “Bingqiu Fellow, you are numbers seven to fourteen.”
“Baoling Fellow, you are……..”
After the new Elder finished arranging the tasks, he looked in the direction of Hidden Spirit Island, and a fiery look flashed in his eyes.
As the one to replace Shi Zhan as the Outer Elder, his ultimate ambition was not to obtain resources for cultivating to a higher realm but to send his child, born just a year ago, into Hidden Spirit Sect.
Ever since he joined the Outer Sect of the Hidden Spirit Sect, his life began to become dull, so he had a child with his ever-wandering Dao Companion.
He had asked the Inner Sect disciple he was in contact with, who said that as long as he behaved well, his child would be given the opportunity to participate in the sect’s entrance exam at the age of six.
Outside the Stone Domain Immortal City, Xiong Li led seven female disciples from the Hehuan Holy Land to besiege a group of Nascent Soul Stage demons.
Xiong Li transformed into a ten-foot-tall bronze true body, sweeping through the Nascent Soul Stage demons. The beautiful young female cultivators on the side cheered and encouraged him, occasionally providing long-range support.
The various types of young women cultivators began to transmit messages to each other, complaining to each other.
“I’ve never seen such an oblivious man before. Is his heart made of iron?” A charming and coquettish young female cultivator said.
“You’re fiffong, his heart is made of ten-thousand-year-old Cold Iron.” Another innocent-looking female cultivator responded.
“It seems like we won’t be able to get this deal done.”
At this point, all the young women cultivators sighed simultaneously.
“Perhaps our methods were wrong, and they didn’t touch this man’s heartstrings.” A domineering big sister-style female cultivator said.
“Why don’t we let Zhuang Ling try?” a female cultivator tentatively suggested.
At this moment, all the female cultivators thought of a woman with a large chest who could shatter mountains and had horse-like arms.
“Can she do it?” A pure-looking girl asked.
“Let her try. We’ve already tried and failed anyway.” The domineering big sister-style female cultivator sighed.
At this time, all the young female cultivators were watching Xiong Li fighting the demon clan..
