Seeing Xiao Chen pretending to be painless, Old man Qingyi couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Little friend, it is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people to be able to endure a round of thunderous punishment. However, if you fail three more times, Little friend will still have to endure another round of thunderous punishment. I fear that Little friend’s life will be in danger at that time. Rather than that, from what I see, Little friend, it is better for you to come back in ten years.”

“Ten years later … Hmph!”

Xiao Chen waved his sleeves and put his hands behind his back. He looked at the four people and said, “Wait ten years. By then, I’m afraid that your Celestial Pogoda will have already disappeared. Otherwise … you’d better let me go. Anyway, no one else knows about this place except you.”

“This …”

Seeing that he spoke so easily, Old man Qingyi couldn’t help but shake his head and bitterly smile, “Little friend, if you can’t pass the test of the four of us, you can’t continue forward.”

No matter how lifelike the four of them were, they were still only four strands of divine will. Only with this layer of the Profound Realm was they able to possess such strength. Therefore, no matter what, it was impossible for them to let Xiao Chen pass in private.

“Since that’s the case, I can only ask the four of you for your guidance.”

Xiao Chen said indifferently. As soon as he finished speaking, he drew out a three-foot long sword with a “zheng” sound and instantly executed the 33-dan Jade Flute Sword Technique.

At this moment, his figure transformed into dozens of sword shadows, and the sword shadows also overlapped, turning into a green sword curtain that enveloped the four of them.

“Little friend has just used this move.”

Old man Qingyi said. As he spoke, he twisted his fingers and a few flying swords flew out from behind him. The other three also used their unique techniques. The void trembled. No matter how sharp Xiao Chen’s swordsmanship was, it was still difficult to shake the four of them.

At this moment, a layer of cold sweat had already condensed on his forehead. He only had this last chance left. There must not be any mistakes. He had spent a night trying to find out where the weaknesses of these four people were. It was now.

At this moment, his previous master’s voice sounded in his mind, “Attack the enemy with your own illusion, lure the enemy with your own strength, and attack the enemy with your own strength …”

At this moment, the dozens of shadows he had learned all his life had been used to the extreme, which was why he had drawn out the ultimate moves of the four of them.

At this moment, he didn’t hesitate to push the Genuine energy within his body to its limits. He used the Great Freedom Divine Ability as a guide to gather the power of the restrictions around him and thrust his sword forward. With a loud boom, the surrounding space trembled. The sword images in the sky instantly disappeared, and the shadows gradually disappeared.

Old man Qingyi looked at Xiao Chen not far away and said, “Little friend failed again.”

“No, this time, you failed.”

The voice actually came from behind the four of them. Just as the voice fell, the figure in front of the four of them instantly dissipated. It was actually the same illusion as them.

“You …”

Old man Qingyi was immediately shocked. When the four of them turned around, they saw Xiao Chen standing there motionless, his sleeves fluttering, and he was calm and relaxed.

“Congratulations, little friend, for passing.”

The one who spoke this time was the red-clothed old man who cast the fire spell. He only heard him say, “Little friend can lead to the Illusory Heaven Realm. However, before that, the four of us still have to remind you that the road ahead is dangerous. If Little friend turns around now, it will be too late.”

Xiao Chen said, “Thank you for your reminder, Senior. However, I am has already made up his mind. Please follow the agreement and open the entrance to the seventy-third level of the Profound Realm.”

“Mm …”

Old man Qingyi nodded slightly. “Since you have passed the test of the four of us, the four of us will naturally not stop you. However, the path ahead is dangerous. Little friend, be careful. In addition, the four of us will give you four strands of magic power. If you are in danger, you may be able to lend a helping hand. After leaving Celestial Pogoda, the magic power will disappear.”

After saying that, the four of them stretched out their hands and four streaks of profound light immediately flew out. They were the magic power of the four of them. Xiao Chen put the magic power into their sleeves and cupped his hands, saying, “Thank you, four seniors.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crack in the void behind him, and it was the entrance to the Illusory Heaven Realm.

Outside, everyone was nervous. Finally, Xiao Chen’s name had risen to the 73rd floor on the Heavenly Extreme Rankings.

“He … succeeded!”

Many people were both shocked and delighted. They didn’t expect that he would be able to successfully ascend to the 73rd floor after receiving the restrictive lightning punishment!

On the distant Green Peak, Four Daoists also turned from worry to joy. Daoist Taiwu nodded his head repeatedly, “Good, good … I’m going up!”

Daoist Gudeng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Xiao Chen had reached the 73rd floor. He had officially entered the Illusory Heaven Realm. It would probably take quite some time for him to reach the first floor. The four of them could no longer stay here forever. They had to deploy other things.

…

Celestial Pogoda, seventy-third floor.

The Profound Realm on this level seemed to have become boundless. After Xiao Chen arrived at this level, he felt as if he was standing within a thousand feet of the mortal world.

And this feeling was not an illusion. The flowers, trees, grass, and stones in front of him seemed to tell him that everything here was real, including … death.

After arriving at the Profound realm on this level, Xiao Chen wasn’t in a hurry to move forward. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and slowly circulated his cultivation technique to adjust his aura.

Just now, on the lower floor, his consumption wasn’t small, and he had even endured a round of lightning punishment. If he encountered some dangers without recovering his Yuan Qi, it would most likely be bad, even if he had the four strands of magic power that the four of them had given him just now.

After a day and night, Xiao Chen finally recovered his Yuan Qi. At this moment, a chill slowly invaded from afar.

Immediately after, there seemed to be a sound of footsteps coming from far to near.

How could there be someone else in such an empty Profound Realm?

At this moment, Xiao Chen wasn’t surprised. He slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently, “I didn’t expect that when I met Fairy Xiao again, it would be in this illusion. Could it be that Fairy Xiao is also in some illusion like me? I didn’t expect that you and I would be able to transcend the void and meet in the illusion. Interesting …”

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Xiao Yichen …”

In the distance, a figure slowly walked over. That person was dressed in white, and his long hair was like a waterfall. It was actually such an immortal energy that didn’t eat fireworks in the mortal world.

She was none other than Xiao Meng’er.

“Oh? Yes …”

Xiao Chen slowly stood up and turned around. He looked at her and said, “There won’t be a third person here, and no one will know what happened here. So even if you kill me here, no one will know, and no one will suspect you, right, Xiao Meng’er …”

“So why do you think … I want to kill you?”

Xiao Meng’er looked at him and slowly walked closer. Her tone was still cold and indifferent.
