“Roar–”

The surrounding horrifying illusionary beasts instantly surrounded the two of them. Such a terrifying aura immediately enveloped the entire mountain range. Even those who were extremely far away could feel this terrifying aura.

“Xuan … Senior Brother Xuan Yue …”

Zi Xuan’er’s face had already turned pale from fear. After so many years, she had only reached the Harmonious Stage. Even a Cave True Stage cultivator could put a lot of pressure on her, let alone these Seventh Grade Illusory Beasts that were comparable to Quasi-Saints.

At this moment, her legs were no longer obedient and her body was trembling. Xiao Chen’s expression was still calm as he pulled her away and flew out of the mountain range with the Ling Xian Steps.

There were at least a dozen Class 7 Illusory Beasts here. Although these Illusory Beasts could not go outside, they did possess the strength of a Quasi-Saint expert in the Heavenly Underworld Illusion Realm. Even he was unable to guarantee that he would be able to deal with so many of them.

However, what he hadn’t expected was that not only were these illusionary beasts extremely destructive, their speed was also extremely fast. They could even cast some simple spells, such as wind, lightning, water, and fire. However, these simple spells were fatal to cultivators below the Quasi-Sage realm.

“Boom boom boom boom!”

Hundreds of kilometers in radius, the earth instantly shook. Lightning, lightning, and flames flew about in the sky, as if they were about to tear apart the night sky. The scene was already extremely terrifying.

The others in the vicinity were also too scared to run around. If they saw a dozen or so Tier 7 Illusory Beasts chasing after Xiao Chen, they would probably be scared out of their wits.

“Xuan … Senior Brother Xuan Yue …”

Perhaps it was because her speed was too fast, coupled with the aura of the terrifying Illusory Beasts around her, as well as the lightning and flames that filled the sky, Zi Xuan’er gradually suffocated, and even her consciousness began to blur.

Xiao Chen pulled her and instantly used Ling Xian Step. It was not until dawn that he finally escaped from the pursuit of those illusionary beasts. At this moment, the two of them had already arrived at the second level of the illusion before the others.

“Senior … Senior Brother …”

Zi Xuan’er’s face was deathly pale, and she was still in a state of shock. She looked around and recalled the shocking scene last night, but she was still endlessly afraid.

“How are you?”

Xiao Chen turned around, looked at her, and asked.

“I … I’m fine …”

Zi Xuan’er stared blankly at him. At this moment, she seemed to be even more unable to see through this senior brother in front of her, as if she had never known him before.

Thinking back to last night, when she was chased by those horrifying illusionary beasts, she had already lost her composure, and the other party had always shown such calm and composed expression. This was completely different from Senior Brother Xuan Yue, whom she had known before …

“Senior Brother Xuan Yue, are you … are you alright?” She stared blankly at Xiao Chen. After so many years, perhaps this was the first time she truly cared about this senior brother.

“Perhaps there will be another Illusory Beast like last night. Don’t be more than ten feet away from me.” After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he continued forward. Behind him, Zi Xuan’er was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.

A few days passed like this. On the fifth day, Xiao Chen finally obtained the Heavenly Underworld Token and successfully walked out of the illusion. He came out two days earlier and became the first person to pass the trial.

On the sixth and seventh days, the other seven people who had obtained the Heavenly Underworld Token had also come out. Of these seven people, Xie Wuxia and the two direct disciples of the Sect Leader were naturally among them.

Those who could pass the Heavenly Underworld Trials were obviously not ordinary people. Even though only four of them were able to go to the First Grade Domain, the remaining four would also enjoy extraordinary treatment if they stayed in Tianming Sect.

On this day, many people gathered in the plaza. When Elder Xingxiu saw Xiao Chen pass the trial, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Next, he waited for the final competition.

“Elder.”

Seeing Elder Xingxiu come over, Xiao Chen greeted him softly. If it weren’t for the fact that the other party had dealt with some minor problems, he wouldn’t have been able to participate in the trial so smoothly.

“Mm …”

Elder Xingxiu nodded and whispered in his ear, “I will take care of everything that follows. If you defeat one person, you will receive a First Grade Mirage Sea Token. However, this person cannot be Xie Wuxia and the Sect Master’s two disciples. Therefore, I will arrange the drawing of lots later …”

“Alright.”

Xiao Chen nodded. To him, Xie Wuxia was only a minor character. There was no need for him to deliberately deal with him. Obtaining a First Grade Mirage Sea Token was his goal.

At this moment, Zi Xuan’er was standing in the distance. Seeing that Elder Xingxiu was speaking to him so politely, he couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

After a while, the elders of the other pavilions also came down from the mountain. There were eight pavilion elders in Tianming Sect, three of whom had already stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm. Of the remaining five, Elder Xingxiu had the lowest cultivation. Therefore, the Star Constellation Pavilion usually accepted those from the Third Grade Domain.

Actually, it was rare for all the disciples to see eight elders gathered together, especially the three elders who had already stepped into the Quasi-Sage realm.

However, today was an important day. It was an honor for Tianming Sect to obtain four spots to head to the First Grade Domain this time. For example, some of the weaker sects would not get a single spot.

“Elder Xuanming is here … it’s Elder Xuanming!”

Suddenly, all the disciples in the plaza seemed to be boiling. Suddenly, a figure landed on the summit of the peak. That person’s beard was white, and he wore a black Taoist robe that carried a bit of coldness.

When the silhouette landed, the originally noisy plaza quieted down again, and no one dared to make any noise.

This person was the Xuanming Pavilion Elder. His cultivation was the highest among the eight elders. He was only second to the Sect Master and was also considered Tianming Sect of Great Elder. When the Sect Master was in seclusion, he would normally be in charge of the sect.

Xiao Chen looked at him. Judging from his aura, this person’s cultivation was still above that of the Xie Clan’s elder that night. He should be a Ninth Grade Quasi-Saint.

On the other side, when Elder Xingxiu saw Elder Xuanming coming down, he immediately gave Xiao Chen a glance and said, “Go up …”

The eight people who had obtained the Heavenly Underworld Token went to the high platform together and gave Elder Xuanming the Heavenly Underworld Token and their own Soul Jade Token for examination.

There were no problems with the seven people in front of him, but when they arrived at Xiao Chen’s place, Elder Xuanming’s expression instantly became even colder.

The rest of them didn’t dare to say anything, especially Elder Xingxiu. At this moment, his heart was about to jump out of his chest, afraid that something would go wrong at this moment.

“Your name is Xuan Yue, a disciple of the Third Grade Domain … Starry Sect?”

At this moment, the atmosphere was as cold as frost. Elder Xuanming held Xiao Chen’s Soul Jade Token. Two cold gazes landed on him like sharp swords, as if they could pierce through everything in an instant.

The people below didn’t dare to make a sound, but Xiao Chen was still very calm. This Soul Jade Token wasn’t his, but the real Xuan Yue’s. However, he had made some moves on it. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see anything wrong if they didn’t look carefully.
