The first to enter the mystic realm was the Buddhist Kingdom representative. Qing Yan stepped into the blue spatial gate.
The Starry Maze Path was a maze with every step.
Generally speaking, the higher one's cultivation base was, the more thorough their understanding of dao and the more resolute their dao hearts would be.
However, this also varied from person to person. Some people might possess extremely fearsome dao hearts at a young age, so there were many uncertainties in this competition.
Qing Yan put his palms together and walked along the floating stone path.
Through the crystal screen, An Lin and the others could see that Qing Yan would pause for a moment with every step he took, and every time he took another step, it would be extremely difficult.
After walking for a while, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and he closed his eyes as he chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. His footsteps became slower and slower until his body trembled uncontrollably, but he was unable to take another step.
Drops of sweat fell onto the surface of the lake, creating ripples that distorted the stars in the sky.
Five minutes later, a burst of white light caused his body to slowly disappear, and he reappeared on the competition platform.
"Thump …" Qing Yan's face was flushed red as he collapsed to his knees, as if he had just experienced a battle between heaven and earth.
"Qing Yan, 56 steps, 5.6 points," Celestial Immortal Yu Hua announced.
Immediately afterward, it was Qing Xin's turn to enter the mystic realm.
He was slightly worse than Qing Yan. He only walked 51 steps in total and got 5.1 points.
Finally, it was the handsome Qing Zhi's turn. His appearance caused everyone's attention to waver slightly.
Qing Zhi was the Buddhist Kingdom's top representative. Apparently, he had cultivated in the Luli Stone Forest for 20 years and possessed an extremely stable dao heart.
Sure enough, after entering the mystic realm, he walked forward step by step. Although his speed wasn't fast, each of his steps was extremely stable, as if nothing in the mist could impede his footsteps.
On his fiftieth step, Qing Zhi saw a green figure on the small hill.
Her clear singing voice drifted into his heart as a faint smile appeared on her adorable features as she extended a hand toward him.
Qing Zhi didn't think that he would see her in the Star Maze Map, and his heart involuntarily trembled.
"Don't keep calling me Female Benefactor. I have a name.
"From now on … just call me Lady Xiu!"
His eyes became slightly dazed. "Lady … Lady Xiu?"
Boom! It was as if a clap of thunder had exploded in his heart. His entire body trembled, and his gaze pierced through the illusion like a sharp sword, returning to the star lake once more. Cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
A rare expression of fear appeared on Qing Zhi's face, but his dao heart was still stable.
He took another step forward, but each step was extremely difficult.
In the end, he stopped at his sixty-seventh step.
"Qing Zhi, 67 steps, 6.7 minutes!" Vice-principal Yu Hua announced the score again.
Qing Xin and Yan were a little surprised.
Qing Zhi's Daoist Heart was famous even in the Buddhist Kingdom. They thought that Senior Martial Brother would be able to walk at least seventy to eighty steps, but he only managed to walk a little over sixty.
The Buddhist Kingdom's representative ended up with a score of 17.1 in this competition.
The Kingdom "Buddhist" Zhi "Came."
The Qing, Hall was shocked. "Zhi" The Qing, and "Qing.
Hong Dao, and Qing, "The Sect, Zhi Dao," Zhi Sect, "Dao Yang," Qing, "Qing," was Ling Wang Yan Dao.
When Hong Dou emerged from the mystic realm, he was greeted by the sight of An Lin clutching his stomach as he guffawed.
An Lin immediately gave Hong Dou a thumbs up. "Rock golem Hong Dou is the best in the world!"
Hong Dou's eyes widened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of lava. However, he didn't have the guts to do so.
There was no helping it. An Lin had nuclear deterrence …
The Garden of Eden representatives were next. Their results were average, and they received a total of 16.2 points.
Augus, who had the highest cultivation base, took sixty-three steps. He was slightly weaker than Qing Zhi, but it was still a good result.
Time passed by quickly, and it was time for the representatives of the Celestial Court to take the stage.
After some discussion, they decided to follow the order of Wang Xuanzhan, Liu Qianhuan, and An Lin.
In Wang Xuanzhan's words, An Lin was an extremely unstable factor. If he went first, he would put a lot of pressure on his teammates. If he wanted to cause any trouble, he would have to wait until the end.
An Lin's lips twitched, and he was at a loss for words.
"I'll get off to a good start!"
Wang Xuanzhan waved confidently at the two people behind him and walked into the blue gate like a hero.
An Lin looked at his senior, hoping that he would return as a hero.
"Then, what obstacles will I encounter …"
Wang Xuanzhan appeared in the mystic realm with a confident smile on his face.
Money, women, hunger, disease, winter, sea of flames … All of the obstacles were overcome by Wang Xuanzhan.
His footsteps were steady, and he walked along the floating stone path. His speed was almost on par with Qing Zhi's, if not faster.
An Lin's eyes lit up upon seeing this. He didn't think that Wang Xuanzhan's Dao Heart would be so stable. He was definitely going to ride on his coattails.
At the forty-sixth step, Wang Xuanzhan's footsteps faltered slightly.
He saw An Lin …
An Lin's right hand glowed with golden lightning, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Senior Wang, eat my Nuclear Lightning Fist!"
Following that, a golden fist that blotted out the sky came crashing down with terrifying power.
Wang Xuanzhan's face convulsed as he stared at the illusionary realm.
Never would he have thought that something like this could f * cking disrupt his Dao Heart.
However … he wasn't going to be scared by this!
Break!
He continued to walk forward in a steady manner, piercing through all illusions.
At the sixtieth step, Wang Xuanzhan saw a handsome youth who turned to leave after taking a glance at him.
"Chen Chen!" His eyes narrowed, and he immediately tried to chase after that figure.
All of a sudden, his heart convulsed, and he stopped in his tracks. No … I can't go …
Cold sweat poured down Wang Xuanzhan's face, and his breathing accelerated. He almost failed just then …
This had always been a knot in his heart. Even after reaching the Soul Formation Stage, he still couldn't get over it.
He continued to walk forward, but every step seemed to require an enormous amount of strength.
All of the students clenched their fists as they stared at the figure on the crystal screen.
Sixty-two steps … Sixty-three steps … Soon, he's almost catching up to Qing Zhi …
When Wang Xuanzhan reached the sixty-eighth step, all of the students erupted into raucous cheers. This was already the highest individual score in the trial of "Dao".
Sometimes, it was still something worth celebrating to be able to impress everyone with one's brilliance. This meant that the top prodigies of their school weren't inferior to any of the other powers.
Wang Xuanzhan was still walking forward. He stopped at the seventieth step, and his pupils contracted.
He saw An Lin again …
This time, An Lin extended a finger toward him, and boundless terror swept through his entire body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
The scene that he didn't want to recall was forcibly presented to him.
In the face of this despairing power, his expression became sluggish, and his eyes also began to glaze over …
Finger of the Heavenly Dao!
In the face of this finger, Wang Xuanzhan couldn't move anymore …
Five minutes later, his body transformed into a streak of white light, and he was teleported out of the mystic realm.
"Wang Xuanzhan, seventy steps, seven points!" Vice-Principal Yuhua announced.
This was the highest score in the entire trial, and all of the students on the plaza erupted into raucous cheers.
Wang Xuanzhan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he raised his head to see that extremely familiar face again.
An Lin ran over excitedly. "As expected of Senior Brother Wang Xuanzhan, you actually managed to take seventy steps!"
Wang Xuanzhan's lips twitched, and he squeezed out a smile. "It's all thanks to Anlin Junior Brother."
"Hah, thanks to me?" An Lin didn't understand the hidden meaning behind Wang Xuanzhan's words, and he blinked with a blank expression.
Wang Xuanzhan didn't want to talk to An Lin, and he turned to Liu Qianhuan. "Liu Qianhuan, it's your turn, good luck!"
Liu Qianhuan giggled and straightened her slender waist with a smug expression. "Senior Student Wang has already made a good start. Leave the rest to me!"
