A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

the next morning.

The two, who had been separated for a short time, unsurprisingly spent most of the night together.

The two, exhausted, rested until nearly noon before getting up to tidy up their room.

Since the Holy Lord hadn't sent anyone to inform them yet, Ye Yun planned to stay here with Yue Rushuang a little longer and spend some more time together.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone this crazy with you."

Yue Rushuang rubbed her legs, glanced at Ye Yun with a frustrated expression, and complained.

"My legs are still a little sore."

I didn't feel anything at night, just that I didn't have much energy.

When I woke up today, I experienced a variety of discomforts.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun, who was standing nearby, smiled and said.

"It's okay, let me massage it for you, it'll be fine in a minute!"

He stretched out his hands, looking fierce and menacing.

Before Ye Yun could even touch her, Yue Rushuang pushed him away.

"No, I don't need your help."

Ye Yun sighed and said helplessly.

"No, you really don't believe me at all?"

"Of course I don't believe it."

She glanced at Ye Yun and pouted.

"If I let you touch me, you'll definitely start groping and flirting with me later."

From this point of view, she knew Ye Yun very well and was quite knowledgeable about him.

"Sigh, well, I've really let down my sincere heart."

Ye Yun shrugged, looking completely innocent.

If she hadn't known him so well, Yue Rushuang probably would have been fooled by him.

Yue Rushuang snorted in response, not fooled by his appearance at all.

Afterwards, Ye Yun went to the table next to him and saw the scrolls on it. He couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"By the way, what are these?"

Yue Rushuang glanced in that direction, then gently rubbed her thigh and said softly.

"Those are intelligence reports from the lower intelligence departments that have recently gathered about the mainland. I check on them regularly."

Basically, every holy site has spies scattered throughout the continent.

In this way, if a major event occurs anywhere on the mainland, even if it is far away, we will know about it.

These must be copies made by the intelligence department of the Moon Wheel Holy Land, which were specially sent to her.

"Interesting, may I take a look?"

Ye Yun's eyes were full of curiosity, but he still asked first.

Yue Rushuang dismissed this.

"Whatever you want."

They usually send it directly like this, and there's nothing inside that needs to be kept confidential, so it doesn't matter if the recipient sees it.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun picked up the scrolls and looked through them one by one.

To be fair, the content here is quite interesting, covering news from almost every region on the mainland.

[The Lord of Cloud City in the Western Continent, the most beautiful woman in the Western Continent, frequents brothels; some say she may actually be a man!]

The new leader selection battle in the Northern Continent has begun, and Fairy Saint Snow has emerged as a dark horse, potentially seizing the position of leader!

The Second Prince of Southern Continent was mysteriously assassinated; the killer remains unknown, and the Azure Dragon Royal Family is conducting a massive search!

[Ye Yun, the master of the Creation Peak of the Ancient Path Holy Land of Dongzhou, is suspected of appearing in the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital!]

The Azure Dragon Royal Family of Southern Continent...

……

Each piece of intelligence is a catalog with a detailed description.

The key point is that Ye Yun also saw his own name appear in it.

Unexpectedly, his current actions have also attracted the attention of the Moon Wheel Holy Land's intelligence organization.

However, what Ye Yun found interesting were the other pieces of information.

For example, the Cloud City Lord of Xizhou is a rather famous empress of Xizhou.

The Cloud City he governs is also known as the number one city in the Western Continent, possessing unparalleled strength.

I never expected that someone would dare to spread rumors about her.

Then came the Northern Continent Alliance Leader Selection Battle, which caught Ye Yun's attention.

He glanced at Yue Rushuang and asked curiously.

"Ru Shuang, I remember that the leader of the alliance in the Northern Continent is elected every few years, isn't he?"

Yue Rushuang paused for a moment, then nodded to him.

"Yes, an election is held every hundred years to prevent the leader from falling behind the times and being unworthy of the position."

"Therefore, every hundred years, the Northern Continent holds a Grand Tournament for the Alliance Leader."

"First, those who want to become the leader of the alliance will be selected to compete for a challenge against the current leader."

"Whichever side wins will become the next leader of the Northern Continent Alliance for a century, and all other forces must obey!"

This can be attributed to the unique power structure of the Northern Continent.

Ye Yun seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled and said.

"That's quite interesting; it's entirely a matter of fists determining the rankings."

"Yes, what's even more interesting are this year's challengers."

Speaking of this, Yue Rushuang smiled.

She walked to the table, picked up a roll of intelligence in front of Ye Yun, and smiled.

"According to past practice, the challengers are always chosen from the same few established forces."

"But this year's challenger, Fairy Saint Snow, comes from a previously unknown family."

"Nobody paid any attention at first, but she swept through the rest of the contestants, becoming the dark horse and the new challenger!"

"According to the prevailing opinion in the Northern Continent, she may surpass Jian Wuya in ability and become the new leader of the alliance."

In the history before this, there were indeed very few female leaders in the Northern Continent.

Ye Yun nodded and said with a smile.

"Sure, it would be quite interesting if we could actually win."

Yue Rushuang glanced at him and tapped him on the head with the jade slip in her hand.

"I think you just have a thing for pretty and powerful female cultivators, don't you?"

"Cough cough, how could that be?"

Ye Yun coughed lightly, and it was his expression that betrayed him.

Seeing this, Yue Rushuang snorted softly, and then said as if she had thought of something.

"However, it is said that this Fairy of Sacred Snow is indeed very beautiful, but I wonder what she looks like."

After all, all that was sent was intelligence; she hadn't actually gone to the Northern Continent to meet the person in person.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun glanced at her and smiled.

"Even if someone is very pretty, she definitely can't be as pretty as you, Ru Shuang!"

Yue Rushuang was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

But then she still let out a soft hum.

"You're just all talk, I don't believe you."

"This is absolutely true, Ru Shuang, you are the most beautiful!"

Ye Yun grinned and replied without hesitation.

Then, Yue Rushuang looked at him, raised an eyebrow, and asked a question.

"Then let me ask you, who is prettier, me or Xian'er?"

"Um, this..."

Ye Yun froze for a moment, realizing this was a potentially disastrous question.

Having no other choice, he could only cough lightly.

"You are all beautiful, just in different ways."

Ye Yun successfully chose the option between the two.

Yue Rushuang rolled her eyes at him.

"I knew you'd say that."

Ye Yun shrugged and said helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do, Ru Shuang, why did you have to ask me such a deadly question?"

"Tch, womanizer!"

Yue Rushuang pursed her lips and made a sarcastic remark.

The key point is that Ye Yun really had no way to refute this.

In the end, he chose to change the subject.

"By the way, is the current alliance leader, Jian Wuyai, very powerful?"

This question prompted Yue Rushuang to answer without hesitation.

"Of course, he is very capable, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to be elected as the leader of the alliance so many times in a row."

"Not only is his strength unparalleled in the Northern Continent, but the Jian family is now also one of the top clans in the Northern Continent."

"However, it is said that Jian Wuyai had a daughter nearly a hundred years ago and spent a lot of time taking care of her as she grew up."

"So we don't know if his strength has declined."

It's understandable, really. Once you reach the Emperor level in cultivation, having a child becomes incredibly difficult.

Unless you're incredibly lucky, even if you try every day, you might not be able to conceive for decades or even centuries.

This is why most high-level cultivators have children late in life, and they tend to spoil and care for them extra.

"That's good. If I were him, I'd probably just retire."

Ye Yun shrugged and chuckled.

"What alliance leader? Let whoever wants to be one, don't even think about stopping me from staying home with the kids!"

For him now, worldly fame is no longer that important.

As long as I can live a peaceful and stable life, that's enough.

Yue Rushuang rolled her eyes at him and said indifferently.

"Can't you be a little more magnanimous?"

Then, she gave a soft hum.

"Besides, is it possible for him to back out whenever he wants?"

"If he really loses, what will happen to his Jian family? They've grown so big now, they're bound to attract jealousy."

"If he loses the title of Alliance Leader, even if he is an Emperor-level expert, the Jian family will inevitably be suppressed."

Ultimately, it all boils down to one point: Jian Wuyai is strong, but not enough to sweep through the entire Northern Continent by himself.

If the Jian family becomes the target of public criticism, he may be able to protect his own small family, but he will find it difficult to protect the entire family.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, and finding it quite reasonable, nodded in agreement.

"That's true, you must have had a tough time."

Yue Rushuang gave a soft hum and said indifferently.

"That's right. Even a powerful senior like him can't be as carefree and do whatever he wants as you think."

"Unless you're a rogue cultivator, then indeed no one dares to provoke you, and you can do whatever you want..."

Ye Yun agreed with what she said.

The most terrifying cultivators on the continent are definitely rogue cultivators, or powerful rogue cultivators.

They're the kind of people who'll fight anyone who disagrees, and the key is that they have no ties to them, so you can't find any weaknesses to exploit.

This is why no one on the continent is willing to offend the Emperor-level powerhouses among the rogue cultivators, even the various super powers.

"That's great. I wish I were a rogue cultivator too."

As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, he felt Yue Rushuang's unfriendly gaze.

"Really? You're going to become a rogue cultivator? What will happen to me then?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun grinned and joked.

"Then we can roam the continent together and make the world our home."

"That sounds wonderful, but unfortunately, the opportunity is gone."

Yue Rushuang shook her head. Just because of her background, she was destined to be unable to be as carefree as a rogue cultivator.

Of course, Ye Yun is in the same boat as him; now, it's impossible for him to return to being single.

After that, the two talked about this information for a long time.

In the end, Yue Rushuang slapped her forehead.

"Wait, I was so busy chatting with you that I almost forgot something important."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Nonsense, it's the Moon Goddess's Trial."

She looked at Ye Yun and took a deep breath.

"You probably don't know the contents of the Moon Goddess Trial, do you?"

Hearing her say that, Ye Yun also remembered.

The other party seemed to have said that they would tell me about the Moon Goddess Trial.

He shook his head slightly and told the truth.

"I truly do not know that; I would like to hear more details."

Seeing this, Yue Rushuang nodded.

Then she raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and wisps of profound energy coiled around them, enveloping them both.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them seemed to be above a sea of ​​clouds.

"Is this...an illusion?"

"That's right."

Yue Rushuang smiled slightly and explained.

"This way I can explain it to you better."

"Hmm...okay."

Ye Yun nodded, and then he saw the surrounding scenery begin to change.

And Yue Rushuang's little science lesson also began.

"This trial of the Moon Goddess is divided into three stages, which can be simply summarized as the three questions of the Moon Goddess."

"The first is the Sword Challenge, which tests your basic strength. In the battle, you will be attacked by a continuous stream of Moonlight Beasts."

As soon as he finished speaking, strangely shaped mythical beasts surged forth from the surrounding sea of ​​clouds.

Like ferocious beasts, they pounced on Ye Yun and Yue Rushuang, only to vanish the moment they touched them.

Yue Rushuang took a deep breath and said slowly.

"The Moon Beast at that time is not an illusion, but a real entity, making it the level with the highest probability of death!"

"Furthermore, the strength of the Moonlight Beast will depend on your own cultivation level; it will become stronger when facing stronger opponents."

"The passing grade is reached when the number of Moonlight Beasts slain reaches ten thousand."

Nothing seemed amiss until Yue Rushuang uttered the numbers, at which point he was completely stunned.

"No, how many did you say? Ten thousand?!"

This number is truly a bit exaggerated.

Even if I unleash all ninety-nine of my silver blades, it will still take a long time to kill them.

However, Yue Rushuang said calmly.

"I haven't finished yet, and you only have ten chances to replenish your Xuan Qi. If you use them all, you will fail."

"So don't think you can just sweep through with pills or flying swords."

In other words, it means that to exhaust one's Xuan Qi, one would need to kill two thousand Moonlight Beasts.

Furthermore, considering safety, it's impossible to actually use it all up before replenishing it, otherwise it would be easy to be killed by the mystical beast.

In reality, each wave may require killing even more Moonlight Beasts.

In other words, one needs to utilize the Xuan Qi at an extremely high rate to have a chance of success.

Ye Yun took a deep breath, genuinely shocked, and then asked.

"And then? What are the next two questions?"

Immediately, Yue Rushuang flicked her finger, and the surrounding scenery turned into chaos.

"The second question is about one's heart. It is said that this test is different for everyone and will be tailored to each individual."

"Of course, there is only one theme, and that is whether one's heart for seeking the truth is firm or not."

"In my dad's words, it felt like falling into a dark, viscous abyss, and you had to break free from your cocoon."

As soon as they finished speaking, the surrounding darkness and chaos shattered into fragments, and they returned to the sea of ​​clouds once more.

Frankly speaking, this kind of mental test is bound to result in a huge difference in how each person experiences it.

Ye Yun nodded slightly, then asked.

"And what about the third question?"

At this moment, Yue Rushuang stretched out her hand, and the surrounding light gradually faded.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, they find themselves amidst a sea of ​​clouds in the night sky, where a bright moon slowly ascends.

She looked at Ye Yun and slowly began to speak.

"This final question is a question to the moon, focusing on testing your comprehension, and it is also a semi-rewarding challenge."

"At that time, the first Holy Lord of the Moon Wheel Holy Land, the remnant memory of the Moon Wheel Empress, will personally test you."

"And each person's test is different. For example, the previous generation of Holy Lord was tested on his understanding of an ancient cultivation technique."

"As for my father, he was required to master a technique in a short period of time."

"If you participate, I don't know what it will be like."

After listening, Ye Yun pondered for a moment.

"I see, then I think I understand."

"Well, that concludes the Moon Goddess's Trial: The Moon Goddess's Three Questions."

As Yue Rushuang gazed at him, the surrounding moonlight and sea of ​​clouds all dissipated.

The illusion dissipated, and the two returned to the room.

At this point, Yue Rushuang took a deep breath.

"Although it doesn't sound complicated, it's extremely difficult; most people can't even get past the first hurdle."

"Even I was unwilling to become the new Holy Lord because I didn't want to face such a perverse trial."

In her opinion, being a leisurely elder was just fine.

I have absolutely no desire to learn how to handle the affairs of the Holy Land, or to go through all sorts of hardships and then face the trial of the Moon Goddess.

Ye Yun sighed softly and remarked with emotion.

"This is indeed very difficult. Not to mention what comes later, just the first level alone would probably stop 99% of people."

If it were a Moonlight Beast of the same cultivation level as oneself, that would be even more unpleasant.

Even Ye Yun couldn't see any chance of passing the test.

Others might not know, but he certainly did. Although he was powerful, it was mostly due to the magic weapons and profound techniques that supported him.

If we really want to delve into the basics, I've only been seriously practicing for a year.

They are simply incomparable to those extraordinary geniuses who have cultivated for hundreds of years.

In this situation, the only way to get through this hurdle is probably to use some special tricks.

At this moment, Yue Rushuang nodded and pursed her lips.

"That's why I said these conditions are deliberately making things difficult for you. You've only been cultivating for a short time, how could you possibly pass?"

After saying that, she took a deep breath.

"If it really doesn't work out, why don't you just give up? At worst... I'll just sneak away later!"

Judging from her expression, she didn't seem to be joking.

Ye Yun broke out in a cold sweat and quickly replied.

"No need! I'll find a way to get it done myself!"

Although Yue Rushuang was willing to go to such lengths for him, Ye Yun was deeply moved.

But if she actually did it, wouldn't the Moon Wheel Saint Lord be so angry that he would rush to the Ancient Path Holy Land and kill himself?

By then, there will truly be no room for maneuver.

"You...you really have a way to get it through?"

Yue Rushuang paused for a moment, looking at him in surprise.

"Well... I think it's worth a try."

Ye Yun nodded, having made up his mind.

No matter what means are used, you must pass this damn Moon Goddess Trial!

As for his so-called methods...

"Um, my dear Senior Nangong..."

Ye Yun shouted it out in his mind with a smile.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Nangong Jiutian said quietly.

"You brat, you come to me whenever you run into a problem you can't solve, is that it?"

"This time it's different. If it's a test of willpower and character, I'm absolutely not afraid!"

Ye Yun took a deep breath and said helplessly.

"But the problem is, it tests a cultivator's basic skills, and I've only been cultivating for a year. What basic skills do I have?"

"And this also concerns my relationship with Ru Shuang. Even if it means resorting to some means, I must pass this level!"

Just like when he arrived, the Holy Lord of the Moon Wheel put pressure on him and tested his will.

He'll accept any offer unless the other party is really pushing him to his limits, and he won't let anyone else get involved.

But this kind of trial, which is obvious without even thinking about it, is one that cannot pass any possible test.

Ye Yun wasn't so stubborn as to refuse to turn back until he hit a brick wall.

"Alright."

Nangong Jiutian yawned and said casually.

"I can help you get through this, but... what's in it for you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied.

"It's the senior's decision."

"Then let's leave it on credit for now."

Nangong Jiutian smiled and said slowly.

"I want you to do something for me that you are capable of doing after this, and you must not refuse."

Upon hearing these conditions, Ye Yun immediately became wary.

"You're not going to ask me to do anything too outrageous, are you?"

"Does that make me sound like that kind of despicable person?"

"That's...hard to say."

"You brat, do you still want my help?"

"..."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then offered a reminder.

"Okay, I can agree to that, but the condition cannot be that it involves harming the people around me or innocent people."

Nangong Jiutian chuckled and said indifferently.

"I know. If I really wanted to kill someone, would I need you?"

These words, though crude, are not without reason.

Ye Yun also thought it was somewhat believable, so he thought to himself.

"Okay, I promise you, senior."

In her view, as long as the other party doesn't ask her to do anything wrong, that's fine.

Apart from that, I'm not afraid of the other party making any excessive demands.

"Very good, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Nangong Jiutian seemed quite happy and smiled as he spoke.

And so, Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian reached an agreement on their terms.

"Ye Yun, what are you laughing at?"

Just then, Yue Rushuang noticed his expression and was momentarily stunned.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun snapped out of his reverie and smiled.

"It's nothing, I just figured out a way to pass this level!"

Yue Rushuang paused for a moment, then asked in surprise.

"Really? What's the solution?"

Ye Yun smiled faintly and winked at him.

"It'll be a secret for now. When the time comes, Ru Shuang, get ready to welcome me as I successfully clear the level!"

"Tch, all that superstition. Do you think you can summon a god to possess you?"

Yue Rushuang pursed her lips, seemingly because the other party wanted to keep it a secret.

But she did notice that Ye Yun had just looked depressed.

But now, it's as if I've suddenly gained some kind of confidence.

Ye Yun smiled and said this.

"That's hard to say, maybe... I really will have divine assistance!"

Yue Rushuang curled her lip, not believing in such an unfounded and illusory thing at all.

But on second thought, Ye Yun's expression usually indicated that things were indeed stable.

In the end, she decided to trust Ye Yun.

"Okay, then I wish you good luck in getting through this. We'll definitely have a big celebration then."

"Definitely, we'll have to celebrate properly then."

Ye Yun grinned and gave him a meaningful smile.

Seemingly understanding his meaning, Yue Rushuang blushed slightly and poked him with her finger.

"Pervert!"

And so, Ye Yun rested for a day in Yue Rushuang's palace.

As evening fell and the moon began to rise, someone came looking for him.

A knock came at the door, followed by Luo Meng's voice from outside.

"Young man, His Majesty the Holy Lord summons you!"
