In a mysterious place where ghostly winds howled and the moon was cold and frosty, two women in white sat cross-legged outside a gloomy cave.
Among the two women, one had a mature and seductive aura, like a ripe peach.
The other seemed to be less than twenty years old. She had a delicate and cute little face and large eyes that were as pure as lake water, occasionally forming crescent moons that were very attractive.
Without a doubt, both of them were beauties, but the environment they were in was a little creepy. The ghostly winds seemed to be able to cut into one's heart. On the ground, within a radius of a thousand meters, there were more than ten corpses. They were all female corpses in white. Their white clothes were stained with blood, their feet were bare, and half of their pale faces were buried in the ground. It was like a ghost village.
"Xiaoman, I heard that a few hundred candidates died in this Evil Demon Cave trial."
The mature woman woke up from her meditation and looked at the cute young girl beside her. In her calm eyes, there was a fear that only they could understand.
For people like them, even if they were afraid and panicked, they couldn't show it, because the more they showed fear, the faster they would die.
"Sister Mu Lan, hasn't it always been like this? Tens of thousands of people went to trial together. How many are left now?"
Yun Xiaoman slowly opened her eyes, so calm that it was scary.
"I heard that a few more candidates broke through to the Supreme Profundity Realm in this Evil Demon Cave trial. Our competitors are getting more and more powerful."
The mature woman called Mu Lan sighed. Her talent was not low among the Moon Maiden candidates, but compared to the top ones, there was still a huge gap.
"Xiaoman, your talent is far higher than mine. Among the Moon Maiden candidates, you are probably the youngest and have cultivated for the shortest time. If you were given another ten years, your achievements would definitely not be any worse than those top Moon Maiden candidates. "
The way Mu Lan looked at Yun Xiaoman was a little strange. Therefore, among the Moon Maiden candidates, Yun Xiaoman was probably the youngest, but her cultivation speed was rather fast, and she was only a step away from the Supreme Profundity Realm.
Although Yun Xiaoman did not say it, Mu Lan could already feel that in terms of ability, Yun Xiaoman had already surpassed her sister.
She, on the other hand, had been nurtured as a genius by her family since she was young. She had been cultivating for two hundred years now, yet she was still inferior to Yun Xiaoman, who had been cultivating for more than ten years. The gap between their innate talents could be imagined.
However, in Mu Lan's heart, she had never believed that Yun Xiaoman had reached this stage just by relying on her talent. Perhaps she had some secret.
"I don't want to compare myself to others, and I don't wish to become a Moon Lady. I will be satisfied if I can survive and return to my hometown," Yun Xiaoman said lightly.
She was not envious of the most talented and top-notch Moon Maiden candidates at all. She did not even care about the status of a Moon Maiden.
She just wanted to go home. She had had enough of this cruel game of survival.
"Sometimes, people always have something to pursue." Mu Lan shook her head. She was different from Yun Xiaoman. She was a member of the Sorcerer Tribe and her family was a force within the Sorcerer Tribe. Ever since she was young, she had been very ambitious. She had volunteered to participate in the Moon Maiden Selection. As long as she could become a Moon Maiden, not only would she be able to become a phoenix, but her family's status would also rise.
"My pursuit is a simple and easy life. I only hope that before I return home, my family is still safe and sound …"
Yun Xiaoman stood up with a cold expression and walked towards the Evil Demon Lair. Her big eyes were filled with fighting spirit. She thought of her elderly grandfather. Her greatest pursuit now was to return home as soon as possible.
"It's a pity. She has such talent, but she has no ambition."
Mu Lan shook her head. She had never understood Yun Xiaoman's mentality. In her eyes, this kind of girl had no ambition. She only cared about household chores and daily necessities. This kind of person, no matter how talented she was, would not go far if she did not pursue something.
Mu Lan knew that the higher-ups had a rather high evaluation of Yun Xiaoman. Many big shots had high hopes for her because she was the youngest and her cultivation speed could catch up to the group of people at the very front. If she cherished it, she might have a place among the Moon Maidens in the future.
…
On a barren mountain, Mo Wen was playing with a talisman in his hand. It was the Desolate Harvesting Token. Right now, the Desolate Harvesting Token was completely filled. He only needed to activate the stratagem inside and he would be teleported away to the temporary gathering place of the Sorcerer God Temple in the Immortal Honourable Space.
Rumor had it that the second stage of the trial was also in the Immortal Honourable Space. It was a rather dangerous fifth-rank area. Only there could preliminary cultivators like them officially meet the Sorcerer Clan's Moon Maiden candidates.
"I wonder how Xiaoman is doing now."
Mo Wen sighed softly. His main purpose in coming to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield was to see Yun Xiaoman. If possible, he wanted to bring Yun Xiaoman back to the main space.
However, the Sorcerer Clan's Moon Maiden candidates seemed to be even crueler than the preliminary cultivators' trials. He did not know if Yun Xiaoman would be able to persevere.
"No matter what, I'll only know the results after I try it out."
With a thought, Mo Wen sent a thought into the Desolate Harvesting Token. After activating the Desolate Harvesting Token, he had completed the first stage of the trial. The stratagem would teleport him to the gathering place of the Sorcerer Clan.
Beams of black light flew out from the Desolate Harvesting Token and formed a mysterious Void Stratagem. The next moment, there was a wave of spatial power. Mo Wen felt as if his body had sunk into a quagmire. Then, his vision turned black and the world spun. All his senses were instantly cut off.
After an unknown amount of time, when Mo Wen opened his eyes again, he had appeared in a valley.
The strange thing was that there was no one here. The entire valley was empty. Other than the occasional howl of a wild beast, there were no other living creatures.
"What is this place?"
Mo Wen looked at his surroundings in shock. Before he had time to think further, a thought suddenly entered his mind. It was a rough voice that appeared directly in his mind. It was like a heavenly might, rumbling for a long time.
"The countdown for the second stage of the Sorcerer Clan Trial has begun. The rules are as follows …"
The content that the thought conveyed to Mo Wen was very simple. It turned out that when he arrived here, the second stage of the trial was about to begin.
"So that's how it is."
After a long time, Mo Wen laughed bitterly. He had thought that he would be teleported to the gathering place of the Sorcerer God Temple. Clearly, he had misunderstood.
The content of the second stage was very simple. He had to snatch the Moon Maiden Talismans of the Moon Maiden candidates and gather five Moon Maiden Talismans to pass the second stage.
Similarly, the Moon Maidens of the Sorcerer Clan would also appear in this area. Their task was to snatch the Desolate Harvesting Tokens from the preliminary cultivators. As long as they gathered five Desolate Harvesting Tokens, the Moon Maiden candidates would have completed the trial task.
Of course, the preliminary cultivators and the Moon Maiden Talismans of the Moon Maiden candidates could not be lost. Once they were lost or snatched away, it was equivalent to being eliminated.
It could be said that this was a clash between the preliminary cultivators of the various realms and the Moon Maiden candidates. The Sorcerer Clan had attracted the geniuses of the various realms here with the goal of being the Moon Maiden candidates' whetstones.
