North of the School of Chaos, before the statue of a real immortal.
Everyone's expression was serious as they waited for Elder Wu to explain the rules of the test.
"I will transport you to a place. More accurately, a battlefield."
"The only thing you need to do is survive."
"I don't care what you do. Assassinate, poison, betray, anything works."
"As long as you survive, you can pass the test and become an inner House disciple."
"Of course, only five people can become inner House disciples. If more than five people survive, then the second test will begin."
Elder Wu spoke in a low voice, causing an uproar.
"As long as we survive, we can do anything?"
"There's nothing wrong with schemes, but surrendering is allowed?"
"I don't understand. What kind of test is this?"
Everyone discussed and didn't understand.
Ling Xian was the same.
Since it was a battlefield, then there must be enemies and allies. Why was betrayal allowed?
"What a strange rule. If surrendering means you can live, then nobody will die."
"Then what's the point of this test?"
Ling Xian frowned, confused.
Everyone else was the same. They were all questioning and waiting for Elder Wu to explain.
However, Elder Wu didn't explain. He merely repeated what he said.
As long as we survive, we can do anything.
"Try your best to survive. Being an inner House disciple has many benefits."
Elder Wu softly grinned. Waving his hand, a mysterious force descended and engulfed everyone.
In the next second, the strange force disappeared and so did everyone.
…..
After the dizzying feeling passed, Ling Xian opened his eyes and his expression changed.
Because before him, corpses were everywhere and blood was everywhere.
Broken limbs, bloody weapons … it was like hell, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"It really is a battlefield …"
Ling Xian softly sighed. The smell of blood here was far too heavy and there were far too many corpses. It wasn't hard to imagine how intense the battle was.
He marched forward in giant steps and decided to find a living person to ask about the situation.
At the very least, he had to know where he stood.
Just as Ling Xian walked a few steps, a dead body entered his sight. His expression turned cold.
It was all because he sensed the aura of a person from the other side of the world from this corpse.
"Demon from another world …"
Ling Xian frowned. Then, the space between his brows began to emit light and his Qi swept out in all directions.
Gradually, he discovered that there were more than a hundred corpses here. Without exception, they were all Extraterrestrial Demons.
The rest were beings of the universe. What this meant couldn't be more obvious.
"On one side are the Extraterrestrial Demons, and on the other are the living beings of the universe."
"In other words, I'm on the side of the universe."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself, knowing that this was an illusion.
Even if one used their toes to think, they would know that in this era where the underworld had transformed into Heaven Abyss, there was no way the cosmos would engage in a large scale war with the other side. Even if they did, there was no way the Primal Chaos Academy would send them over, even more so not treat this as a test.
Therefore, there was only one explanation. It was an illusion.
"The condition to clear this stage is definitely not as simple as surviving."
Ling Xian frowned. He had experienced similar illusions twice before. Both times, he had to fulfill certain conditions before he could leave safely.
This special condition was definitely not just to survive. If that was the case, then this test would be too easy.
As long as they hid or surrendered, they would definitely not die.
In that case, it would lose its meaning.
"Let's figure out the situation first."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. His Qi swept out in all directions. After a while, he sensed a humankind's Qi.
Immediately, he tore open space with his bare hands and appeared before the man.
It was a 12 to 13 year old youth. He was covered in blood and looked weak.
The moment he saw Ling Xian, his skinny body tensed up. As if he was facing an enemy, he waited.
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."
Ling Xian smiled warmly. He raised his hand and manipulated the spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth to heal the youth's internal injuries.
This startled the youth. Perhaps it was because of Ling Xian's warm smile, or perhaps it was because his internal injuries had healed, but he was no longer as nervous.
However, he still looked at Ling Xian with caution.
"What's your name?" Ling Xian smiled.
"Mu Tian," the youth whispered.
"My name is Ling Xian."
Ling Xian smiled warmly. Seeing that the youth was still cautious, he said, "If I was from the other side, why would I heal you?"
"Perhaps you are trying to trick me into trusting you to get information," Mu Tian whispered.
"You sure are smart."
"However, I am not a demon from the other side of the world. I have no reason to trick you."
Ling Xian smiled and rubbed Mu Tian's little head, "I just arrived here and I don't know much about this place. That's why I wanted to ask you."
"I won't tell you. Just give up." Mu Tian shook his head. There was some fear in his eyes, but there was also some determination.
This moved Ling Xian a little. The way he looked at Mu Tian softened.
It wasn't easy for a teenager to have such a determined heart.
He smiled warmly, "Since you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask. Let's walk."
Hearing this, Mu Tian didn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Ling Xian held onto his little hand and walked forward.
Along the way, he tried to find out more about the general situation.
At first, Mu Tian was very cautious and didn't want to say anything. But after all, he was only 12 years old, how could he compare to Ling Xian?
Dao Wangu called him Little Fox. Therefore, he easily learned about the general situation.
There was an ancient city named Ling Xue. It has existed for tens of thousands of years and has always been peaceful.
But three days ago, the demons from the other side of the world appeared. With unstoppable momentum, they broke through the city.
At the critical moment, the leader of the city sacrificed himself and asked his daughter to lead the survivors away.
The battlefield Ling Xian saw before was the battle between the leader's daughter and the demons from the other side of the world.
Mu Tian was the son of a cultivator of the seventh level. When the battle erupted, that person used a secret technique to send him hundreds of miles away. That was how he managed to escape.
"My condolences." Ling Xian softly sighed and rubbed Mu Tian's head.
"What condolences? My father won't die! "
Mu Tian's eyes were red. Though he knew that his father's chances of survival were slim, he refused to accept it.
This made Ling Xian sigh but he didn't say anything else.
The situation was clear. He was definitely going to stand on the side of Ling Xue City and fight against the demons.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to find the leader's daughter. But there was one problem. Was she dead or alive?
If she was dead, then the trail would be broken.
"Among the corpses on that battlefield, there were many women. I wonder if she was there …"
Thinking back to the battlefield filled with corpses, Ling Xian frowned and felt helpless.
He didn't know what the leader's daughter looked like and he didn't know how to find her.
"I can only pray that she isn't dead yet. Or else it will be very difficult to complete the mission."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He didn't think the mission was as simple as surviving. It was most likely to be to help the leader's daughter and kill all the demons.
Then, the space between his brows began to shine. As he moved forward, he searched for the leader's daughter.
Half an hour later, seven people appeared in the range of his Qi. However, they weren't living beings from the universe, they were foreign people.
