In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 164 Title: "Speedy Mastery of Demonic Cultivation"!
"Captain Ye, what do you think we should do now?"

Captain Wang looked at Ye Muyu, his face showing worry:
"Although the rescue team has talents who are good at cracking the special mechanisms and challenges in the ancient secret realm, this kind of magical inheritance test is much more difficult than ordinary challenges."

"Even Master Taibai is trapped inside. If our people go in, they might not be able to get out."

Ye Muyu pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"In any case, twelve hours is quite tight."

"It would be good to send people back to Taihua City to inform Peru of the situation, but we cannot back down and waste precious rescue time."

"I don't believe that the so-called killing formation mentioned by the puppet could cause Senior Brother Taibai's death, but it's hard to say about the rest of the expedition team."

After saying that, Ye Muyu immediately made a decision.

She first spun out a five-person team to retreat back to Taihua City to relay intelligence.

The others, led by her, headed directly towards the summit.

Regardless of whether or not I want to take this inheritance test, I should at least take a look at what this so-called test is all about.

We also need to confirm the personal safety of the expedition team members.

The rescue team followed the puppet woman and soon reached the top of the White Bone Temple gate.

A place for inheritance assessment, shrouded in a misty array, appeared before them.

The layout of this assessment site is circular, with a total of nine rings nested together.

With the puppet woman's explanation, the rescue team quickly understood the rules of this inheritance assessment.

The nine circular areas represent nine questions of progressively increasing difficulty.

Each stage has only one entrance. You can only enter the next stage after completing the assessment of the current stage. If you fail to complete it, you will be trapped in that area indefinitely.

He perished under the killing formation when the 24-hour assessment period ended.

Su Yuan and his group carefully observed the nine-ring formation from the outside. Each ring was separated by a semi-transparent wall, allowing them to clearly see the situation of the examinees inside the formation.

The expedition team members, including Tai Baiji, were all inside.

Most of them were trapped in the Ninth Ring Road, the Eighth Ring Road, and the Seventh Ring Road, while only Tai Baiji managed to reach the Fourth Ring Road area.

But time was running out for him, and it was almost impossible for him to break through the four rings in the last twelve hours, especially the most difficult four rings.

At this moment, the members of the expedition team sat idly in the assessment area, seemingly at a loss.

"Are there any of you willing to participate in the inheritance assessment?"

The puppet woman stood before the entrance to the Ninth Ring Road and calmly asked:
“Each person taking the test has twenty-four hours to pass.”

"But if you want to save those people inside, please keep the time limit to twelve hours."

The rescue team members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although someone went back to report the news, it would take at least one or two hours for Taihua City to receive the news and react, and there was no guarantee that they could get any strong outside help.

During this period, they cannot do nothing.

After a brief hesitation, Captain Wang gritted his teeth and said:
"Captain Ye, please let me lead my brothers in one charge!"

"New recruits have a 48-hour buffer period during which support will definitely arrive, so there is no danger to their lives."

"And if we are lucky enough to get through, we can rescue our brothers who are trapped inside ahead of time."

Ye Muyu thought for a moment, then calmly nodded:
"Then go try it."

After receiving the order, Captain Wang immediately led several experts who were skilled at solving the ancient secret realm's challenges and plunged into the entrance of the inheritance assessment.

The others could only watch from afar outside the great formation.

Su Yuan finally had time to carefully study the new system tasks.

[Task 3: Demoness, I Need Your Help in My Cultivation (In Progress)] [The Holy Maiden of the Crimson Bone Temple (crossed out)... The temple's abbess, Zhu Qingqing, has set up a death trial, solely to find a demon whose talent surpasses hers. If one can pass the numerous trials she sets, she is willing to sacrifice everything for him.]

Hey! I don't remember this being the case when I read the mission description earlier.
Wasn't she the Holy Maiden before? Why did you suddenly change your address to Abbot? You damn system, you even tampered with the task after it was issued, didn't you?

And please don't misinterpret Master Zhu's meaning, okay? What does it mean to give up everything?
Giving up all your knowledge and talent is also giving up everything, and giving yourself up is also giving up everything. Which one are you referring to?
[Please shine brightly in Zhu Qingqing's assessment and surpass your teacher!]

[Task Progress: Passed Assessment (0/9)]

[Quest Reward: Increase in Magical Skill Level (Selectable)]

[Mission Four: Rescue (In Progress)]

[The Taibai Sword Demon and his henchmen, overestimating their abilities, attempted to force their way into Zhu Qingqing's assessment. They will be killed on the spot six hours later.]

[For the grand plan of infiltrating the Ten Holy Lands, please use your unparalleled demonic talent to pass the test within six hours and rescue the Taibai Sword Demon and the others.]

[Quest Reward: Title "Speedy Demon Cultivation"]

[Note: Title level is determined by the completion time, which starts from the moment the host enters the assessment. The shorter the completion time, the higher the title rating.]

After reading about these two tasks, Su Yuan felt a strong urge to participate.

The rewards for these two tasks are pretty tempting.

The level of magical power upgrades is self-evident; it's as precious as character star-up items in the second game, something you can only come across by chance.

As for the title "Speed ​​Run Demon Cultivator"... if you complete the game fast enough, can you get the highest level dazzling title?

Regardless of the title's effect, it must be superior to the "Demon Lord" title.

However, the fact that you will be eliminated if you fail to complete the game within the time limit is a bit scary.

After much deliberation, Su Yuan decided not to rush in and risk his life.

He wanted to check on the progress of Captain Wang and the others' assessment first.

Perhaps we can learn from their experience.

Su Yuan watched intently as Captain Wang and the others went through the checkpoint.

The rescue team members who dare to take the initiative to enter the inheritance assessment are all highly skilled, courageous, and battle-hardened elites.

I'm sure I can learn some advanced tips and tricks from them.

after an hour.

The expectation in Su Yuan's eyes gradually turned into confusion.

The rescue team members who went in to try the obstacle course had been trying for over an hour, and they were still stuck in the ninth ring.

The ninth round of the test seemed to be related to comprehending some kind of cultivation technique, which caused the rescue team members, including Captain Wang, to sit on the ground, deep in thought, unable to move forward for a long time.

Two more hours later.

Captain Wang barely made it into the eighth ring, while a new batch of secret realm exploration teams arrived, sending out a large number of elites to attempt the challenge.

Then these so-called elites were stuck at the ninth ring for a long time.

Su Yuan: "..."

Seriously, are all you experts really that incompetent?
