After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister of a celestial sect, the cultivation world wen

Ning Yue and Jiang Yishen entered the training ground together.

People kept casting glances at us along the way.

It seems that quite a few people witnessed what happened at the entrance just now.

It's likely that the jade pendant has become known, because along the way, many people have come up to her, trying to travel with her.

Ning Yue rejected them all without question, walking straight ahead without looking to either side, letting them speculate and wonder.

Jiang Yishen was quite uncomfortable with being the center of attention and followed Ning Yue with a blank expression.

"Jiang Yishen," Ning Yue called out, "Will you come with me after we enter the training grounds?"

"...Hmm." Jiang Yishen paused for a moment before answering.

"Okay," Ning Yue readily agreed, "but I won't help you with everything once we're inside."

"Of course," Jiang Yishen chuckled, "I can't rely on you for everything. You've already gone to a lot of trouble for me."

"Everyone, please quiet down—"

The senior brother in the middle, dressed in disciple's robes, shouted to the crowd.

"The trial is divided into two sessions. In the first session, everyone enters the same trial arena. After successfully exiting, each person enters the sword cultivation arena, alchemy cultivation arena, array cultivation arena, etc., according to their own situation..."

"The time limit is three days. If you successfully get out within three days, you will pass the test. Under normal circumstances, there will be no danger to your life. If there is something you cannot handle, you can use the telepathy spell, and someone will bring you out. Otherwise, you will lose your qualification."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick fog rose from the ground, and soon, even the people around him could not see clearly.

Ning Yue narrowed his eyes and swiftly grabbed Jiang Yishen's clothes beside him.

After the fog dissipated, Ning Yue looked around and found himself in a dense forest.

The people who had just filled the hall were gone, and only Jiang Yishen was beside him.

It seems everyone has been moved to different areas.

Ning Yue glanced at the towering trees around him: "The trial begins."

"Hmm," Jiang Yishen's eyes darkened, "We have to find the way out to pass the first trial."

Ning Yue glanced at the seemingly endless dense forest: "Where do we even begin to find a door in such a vast forest?"

Jiang Yishen looked up: "Although it is called a door, it is not a door in the traditional sense. It may be a tree or a leaf. The so-called door is the center of the entire secret realm."

"Oh," Ning Yue nodded as if she understood, still completely clueless about this place.

She patted the big tree beside her: "This place is so big, how are we supposed to find the very center? Are we supposed to climb up the tallest tree to see?"

Jiang Yishen smiled and sighed, "No need to climb trees, just find the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy."

Jiang Yishen said, "In the first test of the Fusang Sect, each test rotated through five scenarios: fire, jungle, ice river, desert, and cage. This time, I was lucky, as it happened to be the jungle, which was advantageous to me."

Ning Yue: "Is it a training ground simulated according to the characteristics of the five spiritual roots?"

"Yes," Jiang Yishen nodded, "but the scenes appear randomly each time, and sometimes there is more than one scene in a trial ground."

Ning Yue and Jiang Yishen walked side by side into the depths of the jungle.

"Are we just going to search around like this, without any time limit or unknown dangers?"

Jiang Yishen said helplessly, "Of course there are. These plants aren't useless here. They might attack people at any time, and occasionally monsters will appear, but they're all within our capabilities."

"Wow—" Ning Yue exclaimed excitedly, touching the tree next to her and then the grass on the ground.

"This thing can attack people?"

Jiang Yishen's eyes narrowed, and he pulled Ning Yue up, dragging her behind him: "Be careful, there's a sound."

Ning Yue peeked out from behind Jiang Yishen and pointed to the ground.

"The vine on the ground moved."

The words had barely left his mouth—

The vine, as thick as a bowl, on the ground attacked the two of them at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, the two were tightly bound together.

Then, as if it had a mind of its own, the vines wrapped around Ning Yue's waist and swung back and forth vigorously, like swinging on a swing.

Ning Yue suspected that the vines were planning to throw her out.

But it was her first time playing on such a high swing, and she was a little excited, so she reached out and patted the vines that were wrapped around her.

"Listen to me, swing higher!"

Whether the vines understood her words or were angry, they swung vigorously.

They could see the other members who were also participating in the election in the distance.

"Yahoo—"

"I'm coming to save you, Miss Ning!"

"Huh?" Ning Yue turned around and found that Jiang Yishen had broken free of the vines at some point.

He was leaping up the tree, drawing his sword to cut the vines that were wrapped around her.

"Hold on--"

"What..." Jiang Yishen paused, missed his chance, and was soon entangled by the vines again.

"It's okay, let it go." Ning Yue squinted at the distance. "Don't struggle with it yet."

Although Jiang Yishen didn't understand why, he obediently didn't struggle.

The vines swung powerfully, then lashed out at the two of them and flung them forward—

"Wow--"

The wind blew their hair wildly, and the messy strands obscured their eyes.

"Miss Ning—" Jiang Yishen called out against the wind, "Hold my hand—"

He planned to hug Ning Yue before landing to minimize the damage.

But Ning Yue grabbed Jiang Yishen's wrist and shouted, "Hold on tight!"

Jiang Yishen was taken aback.

Then, at the moment of landing—

An invisible wind blew in and settled steadily beneath the two of them.

Ning Yue reacted extremely quickly, stepped on the ground, flipped over, and calmly jumped to the ground.

Jiang Yishen was stunned, still suspended in mid-air by the wind.

"How long do you want to lie here?" Ning Yue said with a smile, "My spiritual power is barely enough to let you lie down out of the trial grounds."

Jiang Yishen blushed and rolled off the bed.

Ning Yue blew a breath and put his hands on his hips: "Not bad."

Jiang Yishen asked, "Miss Ning, what is this...?"

"Hmm... wind magic," Ning Yue pondered for a moment and said, "probably... a derivative spell of the wood elemental root?"

Jiang Yishen: "Miss Ning also has a wood elemental root?!"

"I suppose so," Ning Yue replied. "Let's not worry about that for now. When I was lifted into the air, I noticed that the spiritual energy here was the most concentrated. Let's check this place first."

Jiang Yishen agreed, not expecting to arrive at this place so quickly.

After all, once entangled by vines, people will instinctively resist first.

There were only the two of them here right now; it seemed the others were still outsmarting the vines.

Ning Yue had just taken a step forward when he suddenly stopped.

She raised one eyebrow: "Oh dear—?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the lush plants around her suddenly became menacing.

The needle-thin leaves flew toward the two of them at an extremely fast speed.

If you have poor eyesight, you might not even see it, and you could easily get riddled with holes.

Jiang Yishen immediately gathered his spiritual power to form a spiritual power shield, blocking the two of them.

But he was a step too slow, and Ning Yue was scratched on the shoulder by a sharp leaf.

The wound is quite deep.

"Damn it!" Ning Yue grimaced and clutched his arm. "Can't you just grow leaves properly? What kind of good tree grows like this? No wonder it's growing in the training ground. I wouldn't even want to look at it if it were growing outside."

The tree of flying leaves paused for a moment, as if it understood her words, and then attacked with even greater ferocity.

Jiang Yishen's cultivation level was not high after all, and cracks quickly appeared on his shield.

"Miss Ning," Jiang Yishen called out, "I can hold on for a little while longer. Quickly hide behind the tree over there."

Ning Yue didn't move, squinting at the tree in front of her: "Why are you so petty? You've only said a few words and you're already so easily offended? Do you have to be so sensitive?"

Ning Yue was met with an even fiercer attack; the cracks on the shield grew wider and wider, and it looked like it was about to shatter.

"Stop talking! Miss Ning!" Jiang Yishen stood in front of Ning Yue with difficulty. "You need to go over there. I really can't hold on any longer."

"Oh, it's nothing." Ning Yue reached out, and at the very moment the spiritual energy shield shattered—

A vibrant green hue condensed at her fingertips, and a soft light bloomed.

A spiritual energy shield, identical to the one from before, appeared in front of the two.

"This is my first time making a shield, so the quality is just so-so. Is this alright...?" Ning Yue turned to ask Jiang Yishen.

Jiang Yishen: "..."
