If I had known this, I wouldn’t have tried anything.

Curiosity kills.

Even if you are extremely unwilling, you have no choice but to face it when the time comes.

After all, I can’t run away…

Yan Mu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Call ~
“Please give me some advice, senior!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand was raised, and the void vibrated between his five fingers. Light colored air currents lingered between his palms, and a point of Qianyuan Yuqing’s eternal mysterious light centered to harmonize the air.

The mind controls the five elements and harmonizes the mysterious light.

Although it looks inconspicuous, the power it contains is extremely terrifying. It is Yan Mu’s trump card.

It was during the last Immortal Sect Competition that he realized it from Zhao Ruoming’s hidden innate magical power. He had planned to use it when he challenged him for another competition…

but now……

But I have to use it!

“Not bad.” Xu Xing nodded slightly, “Take the sword.”

Buzz~!

There was only a clear sound of sword ringing in the ears, without any sign of the sword being drawn, then there was a red light covering the sky and the earth, like a raging wave sweeping over!

Radiating in all directions, covering the universe.

Everything within perception was covered by this scarlet sword light, boundless and limitless.

The glass-like soul radiates infinite bright light, wanting to glimpse the essence of this sword like in the last Immortal Sect Competition!
However, he could only sense a line of sword light without any “thickness” rushing towards him rapidly, and everything that was separated became the ultimate nothingness.

Is it the boundless and overwhelming sword light, or the line of sword light that splits the void?
The weird and contradictory scene made Yan Mu feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.

Just as the sword was about to hit him, at the critical moment, he became ruthless!
Then, just like an ordinary person with no cultivation, he threw a punch. Colorful air currents surrounded a point of Qianyuan Immortal Jade Purity Mysterious Light and met the sword light.

boom!
A loud bang spread out, and in the excruciating pain as if being cut by a thousand knives, all sounds disappeared, and I could not tell whether what was in front of me was the extremely bright “light” or the pure “nothingness” without any impurities.

The mind seems to have reached eternal peace.

In this strange state of perception, the pure soul that was cultivated by the supreme inheritance method of “self” finally saw the sword clearly.

As bright as the rising sun, as clear as the moon…

The dim and immaculate soul held his hands together, with a bright round disk in his arms that looked like water waves. In addition to the traces of magical powers such as Qian Yuan’s Immortal Jade Purity Mysterious Light, there was also a trace like a dawn fire quietly imprinted on it.

The next moment, consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

Wait until all the strange phenomena subside…

But Xu Xing was standing there holding a sword, with a red light flowing from the sword in his hand.

Yan Mu fell to the ground not far away. The surroundings were in a mess, but there was no scar on his body. He just lost consciousness completely.

“Brother Dao, this attack… is better described as guidance.”

As the voice was heard, a Taoist with white hair and beard, wearing a green Taoist robe and with an immortal look walked out of the void and appeared beside Xu Xing.

But it is the ancestor of Dan.

He looked at Yan Mu who was lying not far away, saw through the surface, and saw the abnormality on that dim soul.

If it weren’t for Brother Dao’s deliberate guidance, with this youngster’s current level, even if he has entered the supreme inheritance of “Self”, it would be impossible for him to get a glimpse of the essence of that sword.

“My sword is in line with his current level. If he can’t survive, he will be eliminated. It is naturally considered an attack.”

A red light flashed in Xu Xing’s palm, and the red sword disappeared.

“As for the guidance… it’s just a casual gesture.”

Danzu did not continue to say more on this topic, but looked into the distance.

“The other fellow Taoists are almost the same, and the results are similar to my brother’s. It seems that the younger generation of people are pretty good.”

As for whether he held back?
Nonsense, if you don’t hold back, who can take it if they can?
The purpose of personally participating is to test them, not to really eliminate them.

The two then turned and left.

“Come to think of it, the younger generations of the Supreme Taoist Sect are all in the safe zone.” Xu Xing said.

“The same goes for the younger generation in the Shen Ji Refining Treasure Pavilion.” Dan Zu also said.

……

……

On the other side, Hong Zun knocked out a sword cultivator who was practicing sword formation with just a finger.

Then look into the safe zone.

These little bastards are really hiding in their circles!
“Humph!”

With a flick of his sleeves, Hong Zun disappeared.

In a desolate valley under the jurisdiction of the Blood Vajra Temple.

After Qi Zun knocked out the burly man who rushed towards him screaming, he also looked towards the safe zone thoughtfully.

In the second round of safe zone updates.

There are only seven people in the main timeline who are still outside the safe zone.

There are two each in the Sword Sect and the Dragon Elephant Qingtian Sect, and one each in the Hehuan Sect, Jishi Valley, and Lingyinfang.

Tai Shang Dao Zong… Needless to say, Zhao Ruoming is still making talismans in the [Paper Shedding Immortal City], and Zhao Ruohan was ambushed by the means arranged in advance by the Tian Ling Zong, and is hiding to recuperate.

Most of the rest are steady practitioners of the Way of Life, and of course they would not do such a “suicidal” thing.

In the Shen Ji Refining Treasure Pavilion, everyone is still hiding to refine minerals and forge large-scale combat weapons, and no one is going out to “seek death”.

In fact, there were a few who wanted to test the waters, but accidents happened along the way – like running into other contestants, or encountering things they didn’t like.

So they didn’t have time, and it’s hard to say whether they will be popular again in the future.

Although no one of the people who tried to go out of the circle this time was eliminated directly, they all suffered serious injuries and it will take a lot of time to recover.

Of course, the process of fighting with the immortals also brought them some gains.

Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on what they think.

Among the remaining two time branches, there are naturally some who want to try, and the number is about the same as that of the God Transformation group.

The result…is not as optimistic as the main timeline.

In the Yuanying group, a total of six people stayed outside the safe zone to test the pursuers, and two of them were directly eliminated.

The Jindan group had the largest number of people, with as many as ten people staying outside the safe zone to test the pursuers, but four of them were eventually eliminated directly.

Generally speaking, the group with the highest comprehensive level is still the Huashen group.

…………

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and there is a cool breeze.

The gorgeous and exotic flowers and the evergreen auspicious grasses attract the moonlight and are stained with a layer of faint white light.

Above the plump spiritual fruits hanging from the branches, auspicious clouds linger, with a rich fragrance.

A dreamlike scene.

After a while, one could see plump spiritual fruits hanging from the branches, with wisps of auspicious clouds interweaving with the moonlight, and finally condensing into a drop of glowing moon dew that dripped down.

However, it did not fall on the ground, but dripped onto the fair and smooth forehead.

There was a person lying in front of the tree.

Perhaps stimulated by this drop of moon dew, his tightly closed eyes finally moved. After frowning, he finally opened them with difficulty.

A hint of doubt flashed across his clear and lively eyes, and then he sat up, covering his forehead.

This is…what happened?
My mind was a mess, and the only thing left in my vague memory was a gorgeous and enchanting figure in a red dress.

hiss~!

I shuddered subconsciously.

Then he stared at the bright moon in the sky with a dull look for a while, and Chi Jiuyu finally came to his senses.

What the hell!

It’s night already?!

How long had I been unconscious?!

In Chi Jiuyu’s memory, she only remembered that she drew her sword and rushed towards Senior Meizu, but before she could hit him, her sword was blocked by a red line.

then……

What happened next?

She doesn’t remember it clearly.

Anyway, when I closed my eyes and opened them again, the blue sky and white clouds turned into the moon and stars…

【warn! 】

[It is detected that you are not in the safe zone, please go to the safe zone as soon as possible.] [Tip: You have been attacked once, the intensity of the next attack will increase!]

[Attack countdown: 11:23:37]

The sudden pop-up warning made Chi Jiuyu’s heart tighten.

Will the intensity of the next attack increase?!

That would not allow anyone to live!

This level of intensity is already inhumane!

It wasn’t until the final countdown appeared that she finally felt relieved.

Eleven hours… She could reach the safe zone even if she walked backwards!
“Cough cough!”

Chi Jiuyu, who had just finished pretending to be angry, suddenly turned pale, and then he coughed twice in a hurry and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The blood splashed on the petals in front of him, and the life essence contained in it directly dyed the leaf veins red, causing the aura of the entire flower to undergo a drastic change.

An extremely subtle spirituality was generated, and with desire and greed, it reached out to Chi Jiuyu.

The blood of the god gives birth to creation.

Fuck you!
How dare a broken flower treat me as food?!

I, Phoenix, stew it into soup!
He flicked his finger and a ray of sword light popped out, directly wiping out the spirituality of the flower.

Then he took out a pill and swallowed it before climbing up from under the tree.

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked around.

Senior Meizu has disappeared and there are not many people around.

“I don’t know how Xiaoye is doing now.”

She is much more miserable than himself, having to face both Senior Yuanjun and Senior Lingzu.

emm…

Hasn’t he been eliminated?
How about… go back and take a look?
Anyway, there are still eleven hours left, and this is the time I have worked hard to gain. It would be a waste to enter the safe zone so early!
After making up her mind, she summoned her natal sword and prepared to go back and take a look.

But soon he paused again.

Looking at the exotic flowers and plants all over the ground, Lingguo Zizhu seemed to be thinking about something.

Wouldn’t it be a waste to leave so many spiritual objects here?

So, half an hour later.

The sacred land that was once full of exotic flowers and plants and sacred trees and purple bamboos is now just a bare patch.

Everything was dug up by the ‘frugal’ Jiuyu Patriarch, leaving not a single leaf behind.

The light of the Qingming sword rushed into the night sky and suddenly disappeared into the distance.

……

……

Two minutes later, a sword light like a meteor streaked across the night sky.

It didn’t seem fast, nor was it as urgent as when running during the day.

After all, there is no pressure now. I am also seriously injured. I can fly slowly and there is no need to rush.

But before she reached her destination, she was hit head-on by a beam of green and red light.

The sword light and the escape light dissipated almost at the same time. The two men stopped and looked at each other in the air.

Ye Zhiwei was covered in dust and her eyes were dull.

Chi Jiuyu looked pale and his breath was weak.

“This guy really couldn’t escape!” Ye Zhiwei felt relieved.

“Xiao Ye is quite amazing. He was not eliminated by both Senior Yuanjun and Senior Lingzu.” Chi Jiuyu was amazed.

Of course, since I was able to escape from Senior Lingzu and Senior Yuanjun, I am obviously better than them.

“…”

The two of them had different thoughts, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

In the end, it was Ye Zhiwei who broke the silence first.

“You escaped really fast before.”

“Didn’t we agree that the slowest runners should be in the front row? You can’t blame me for this!”

You want to blackmail me morally, that’s impossible.

“And I reminded you while I was running!”

Look how righteous we are!

“…” Ye Zhiwei was silent for two seconds, “Who did you meet?”

She was almost killed in an instant, this guy must not be any better!
“Of course it’s amazing.”

“Senior Sword Ancestor?”

“That’s not…”

I don’t know who is so unlucky to meet my uncle.

emm…

But logically speaking, the uncle should have let him off, just like Senior Meizu must have let him off.

Otherwise, I would have disappeared long ago.

“Who is that?”

“Oh, it’s very impressive.” Chi Jiuyu said vaguely.

After all, Xiao Ye was facing two people, while I was only facing one. To be honest, I always felt that I was inferior to her.

So I just changed the subject.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. I got a batch of spiritual objects. You can make some medicine and we can heal our wounds outside the safe zone first.”

Ok?
Where did you get this magical object in this godforsaken place?
“Is it related to the one you met?”

“Yeah, about the same.”

Alas~!

It is said that these spiritual creatures are the “appearance special effects” that Senior Meizu brings with him. Does this count as me digging out Senior Meizu’s “appearance special effects”?

“But I don’t know which ones can be used. You can figure them out later.”

“That’s no problem…”

She is a talented disciple of Jishigu. Things like refining pills are easy for her and not a big deal!
Damn it!
This dead fisherman is really lucky!

“But this time, let’s go to the edge of the safe zone in case we run out of time.”

After being attacked once, I really don’t want to experience it a second time.

This time he is really honest.

“Yes, yes! I think so too.”

The two reached an agreement again.

After all, both of them were seriously injured, so they had no choice but to continue to cooperate. When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold!

They are no match for any of the contestants.

Soon, sword lights and escape lights lit up and rushed towards the direction of the ‘safe zone’.

The sky at dawn and at night is full of bright stars.

Shortly after the two left, two figures appeared in the night sky.

It was Xu Xing and Danzu.

After all, he was the only contestant from Jishigu who came outside the safe zone, so Danzu naturally wanted to come and take a look.

“Sword Master’s disciple is indeed a bit eccentric.”

“This young man in your sect is quite interesting.” Xu Xing looked into the distance. “This young man’s sister is in an online relationship with the offspring of fellow Daoist Hongzun. Does fellow Daoist know about this?”

“Hmm?” Dan Zu raised his eyebrows.

He really didn’t know about this. He wouldn’t pry into the private affairs of his disciples without any reason…

Earlier in the meeting, Fellow Daoist Hongzun’s son frequently looked towards the Jishigu team, and he thought that the boy was interested in this youngster.

I never thought it was this young man’s younger sister…

The world of young people is so complicated…

wrong!

Brother Dao’s situation is also quite complicated! (End of this chapter)
