Xiao Chen looked at the demon in front of him and thought to himself, three hundred years ago, six out of ten Soul Formation cultivators died here. The remaining four had their hearts taken away. One of them escaped, and the other three were released to help the Duodenal Heart Demon find the reincarnated person.

However, let alone whether there was a reincarnated person in the world, even if there was, how could they find him in the vast world? Thinking about it, it was impossible.

In order to prevent himself from encountering the same fate as Han Tiangu and the others, Xiao Chen looked at the twelve-fingered Heart Demon and had to think of a way to leave this place. He said, “That reincarnated person is only a legend after all. There may not be one in this world. Even if there is one, even if he is standing in front of you right now, you will not recognize him.”

“Legend …”

The twelve-fingered Heart Demon closed its eyes and said in a deep voice, “What year is this? Didn’t you think that I was a legend before you met me … The eyes of the world are narrow. That was the case back then, and it is the same today. There has been no change for thousands of years.” At the end of his sentence, he opened his eyes. His pair of eyes were like the deep and bottomless night sky, staring straight at Xiao Chen.

Being stared at by him like this, Xiao Chen always had a bad premonition. It would be difficult to leave this place. He said, “If I go out, I might be able to find the reincarnated person for you.”

“Let’s cross the bridge when we come to it.”

Although the twelve-fingered Heart Demon was silent all year round, when it was awake, its mind was not confused. It raised its hand and a black wind instantly covered Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen only felt his eyes darken. When he opened his eyes again, there was actually a tall mountain in front of him.

Coming to such an unfamiliar place, Xiao Chen immediately became alert. There were no twelve-fingered Heart Demons nearby. A moment later, the Heart Demons’ low voice came from the sky. “This is the Seventh Mountain, and they are the Seventh Trial. If you can pass the Seventh Illusion Trial at the summit, I will let you leave.”

“Why?”

Xiao Chen looked in the direction of the voice from the horizon. This Heart Demon had inexplicably captured him. He neither killed him nor imprisoned him, but he had to pass some sort of seven-stage test before he could leave. It was simply inexplicable and extremely boring.

“No reason.” The twelve-fingered Heart Demon’s cold and heartless voice came from the sky once again.

Xiao Chen frowned, “I need to hurry back and save someone.”

“I said before, if you can pass the seventh trial, then you are free to leave. If you cannot pass the trial, after three failures, you will forever stay here and become a test for others.”

“You’re simply unreasonable.”

“You only have three days left. After three days, the Seventh Mountain will disappear. The next time you reappear, it will be after the first day.”

“You …”

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. Although he didn’t know whether what the Heart Demon had said was true or false, there was no other way. He could only pass the test of the Seventh Mountain.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He kicked his feet and flew straight up the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, countless streaks of purple lightning suddenly descended from the sky, destroying everything nearby.

Xiao Chen carefully dodged the lightning in the sky. The restriction was already so powerful before he reached the peak of the mountain. It was truly unimaginable. When he reached the peak of the mountain, there was something even more terrifying waiting for him.

Finally, two hours later, Xiao Chen finally passed through the restrictions and arrived at the peak of the mountain. There were countless flying swords floating in the air. They were densely packed like some sort of formidable sword formation.

At this moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and stood on top of a huge sword. The man’s beard was pale white, and his purple robe floated in the wind. There was a rather immortal aura in it.

Xiao Chen’s expression froze. This person should have been a sword xiuzhe. His attainments in swordsmanship must be extraordinarily high. Now that he had become a soul body, he was imprisoned here by the twelve-fingered Heart Demon, becoming the first test for the newcomers. Could it be that this person was one of the ten Soul Formation xiuzhe more than three hundred years ago?

If that was the case, then Xiao Chen wouldn’t dare to be careless. He had heard that three of the ten Soul Formation cultivators had already reached the peak of Soul Formation. Even if they had become a soul body now and their strength had greatly decreased, he had almost no chance of winning.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew over. The clouds on the mountain peak immediately surged endlessly. Old man Zi Yi’s cold gaze fell on Xiao Chen and he said in a deep voice, “If you can break through my sword formation in one stick of incense, I will let you pass. If you cannot break through the sword formation, destroy this old man and you will be able to pass.”

As he finished speaking, a layer of profound light gradually shrouded the surroundings of the mountain peak. It was a very powerful restriction barrier.

Xiao Chen knew that this was an illusion, but if he died in the illusion, then he would really be dead. Therefore, he didn’t dare to be careless at this moment. With a “zheng” sound, a long sword with cold light appeared in his hand.

“I’ve offended you.”

Xiao Chen’s gaze was cold as he slashed his finger on the edge of the sword. His entire body was like a swift shadow as he rushed into the sword formation.

“Zheng Zheng Zheng!”

Countless flying swords of profound light immediately slashed towards him with the might to destroy the heavens and the earth. This sword formation was no small matter. If one did not possess the Spirit Formation cultivation, once one broke into it, the slightest carelessness would destroy both one’s body and spirit.

Xiao Chen didn’t dare to let down his guard. Ling Xian Step had already executed it to the extreme. While dealing with the flying sword, he was also searching for the weakness of the sword formation. However, he only had one incense stick of time. He was truly too hasty.

Half an incense stick later, he was still unable to find the weakness of the sword formation. There were over a thousand flying swords here, each of which was a formation. The formation was constantly changing. How could he break through the formation?

“You still have half the time.” Old man Zi Yi’s cold voice came from outside the sword array, as if reminding him that there was not much time left.

Xiao Chen’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He could only forcefully mention Genuine energy and shout, “Son of Heaven Yun!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Yun Tianzi’s figure suddenly appeared in the void. His entire body was shrouded in killing intent. His eyes were bloodshot, and he struck at the flying sword that filled the sky with one palm.

Although his palm power was fierce, it only shattered thirty to forty flying swords. The remaining flying swords were still attacking like fierce winds and waves.

After spending half an incense stick of time like this, the last bit of time was gone. With a swipe of Old man Zi Yi’s finger, all the flying swords in the sky suddenly stopped.

“Time is up.”

A cold voice echoed through the entire mountain peak. Xiao Chen immediately thought that something was wrong. This old man was about to attack. Indeed, the moment Old man Zi Yi raised his hand, a strong wind blew and rocks flew everywhere. The entire mountain peak trembled violently, and the clouds in the sky suddenly surged endlessly.

“Go!”

With a cold shout, Old man Zi Yi condensed his finger, and a hundred zhang sword qi instantly broke through the air. It was like a ten thousand zhang wave that was unstoppable, and wherever the sword qi passed, everything turned into powder.

“Shit …”

Xiao Chen was secretly shocked. At this moment, he did not even think about it. The Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique instantly shrouded his entire body with a layer of golden light. However, this was not enough. He waved his hand and something flew out from his sleeve. It was the avatar that Luo Die had given him earlier.

The avatar instantly transformed into his appearance. Although it had no consciousness of its own, it had almost the same cultivation as him. However, when Old man Zi Yi’s sword qi slashed towards it, Prince Yun Tianzi was directly shattered. Then, the avatar was also shattered the moment it touched the sword qi.

Even so, before Xiao Chen could block the sword Qi, he was struck by the residual force of the sword Qi. All of his internal organs instantly split apart and he was sent flying. When he landed, a mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat.

Xiao Chen covered his chest with his hand and slowly raised his head. Blood was still gushing out from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he looked at Old man Zi Yi in disbelief. This was only the first test. The first test was already so terrifying. There were still six mysterious experts left. How could he possibly pass it now? There is no way to pass …
