The eighth and ninth grades, these almost legendary levels of alchemists, were originally an unattainable chasm for them.

However, if one could obtain the secret method of soul cultivation from ancient times, this seemingly insurmountable gap would seem to be greatly shortened, and it might even be possible to touch the long-desired realm.

This temptation will have a fatal attraction to all alchemists, enough to make every alchemist present have their blood boiling and their hearts surging.

However, when everyone was excited, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly when he heard Xuan Kongzi's words. He still remembered very clearly that many years ago, he had luckily obtained the "Taiyi Soul Art", which was the treasure originally planned to be the champion reward of this alchemy competition.

It is precisely relying on the unique cultivation effect of "Taiyi Soul Art" on soul power, coupled with the fact that Xiao Ling is a time traveler, whose soul talent far exceeds that of normal practitioners in the Douqi Continent, that has laid a solid foundation for the rapid improvement of Xiao Ling's soul power, enabling him to reach the great perfection of the spiritual realm today.

Xiao Ling couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if this "Taiyi Soul Art" fell into his hands, he wondered if the champion reward of this alchemy meeting would be adjusted compared to the original book. But he changed his mind and thought that this possibility should be small.

After all, precious techniques that can cultivate the soul are extremely rare and are priceless to alchemists. As a sacred place for alchemy on the continent, Danta must value such soul cultivation techniques more and may have similar secret techniques as backups in case of emergency.

However, this thought only flashed through Xiao Ling's mind, and he did not dwell on it. After all, no matter what the reward was, the real test was still to come.

Xiao Ling's eyes became more determined. He knew that he only needed to go all out and win the championship of the Alchemy Conference. Then all the answers would be revealed...

On the high stone platform, Xuan Kongzi glanced at those eyes that had turned blood red due to desire, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at the color of the sky, then gently waved his wide sleeves. An invisible wave spread out, hitting the void, and once again triggered a deep and melodious bell sound.

"The time has come. All contestants above level five, please enter the first stage... the soul illusion!" After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, his finger suddenly pointed to the center of the vast square.

There, the dark grey space was rapidly twisting and deforming, as if forming one strange dimension after another, revealing endless mysteries and secrets...

"boom!"

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, a strong wave suddenly erupted from the endless crowd.

Figures shot out like sharp arrows. Their speed was as fast as a swarm of locusts. They crossed the sky, covering the whole sky and sinking into the distorted space one after another.

The scene was so spectacular that it left one's jaws dropped...

Xiao Ling watched the figures pouring into the distorted space like a rainstorm. A faint smile appeared on his face and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if he was excited about the upcoming challenge, or full of anticipation for this event.

Xun'er had been watching Xiao Ling, sensitively capturing the changes in his expression. She gently held Xiao Ling's palm, exerting a little force with her fingers, conveying silent support.

Then, she gently stretched out her other hand and carefully tucked the strands of hair that were scattered on Xiao Ling's forehead behind his ears. She said in a soft but firm voice, "Brother Xiao Ling, go ahead. No matter what the result is, Xun'er will be here waiting for you to come back..."

"Xiao Ling, come on! You must win the championship of this alchemy competition." Zi Yan, Medusa and others on the side also cast encouraging glances at Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling looked around, and wherever his eyes fell, he saw the concerned faces of several people.

A confident smile appeared on his face, and his voice was firm and powerful: "Don't worry, I am determined to win the championship of this alchemy competition. You should be prepared and wait to see how I will show my style in this grand event that the whole continent is paying attention to..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling gently released the ten fingers that were tightly clasped with Xun'er, and his body leaped lightly, instantly turning into a stream of brilliant golden light.

Under the gazes of many people around him, he did not hesitate at all and flew straight into the deep, dark, twisted space, disappearing from everyone's sight, leaving only an unforgettable light and shadow...

……

At the same time, on the top of a high tower in Shengdan City, a ripple like rippling water appeared in the void. As the ripple spread, three female figures gradually emerged from the distorted space.

These three women all have extraordinary temperaments, as if they were fairies from the upper realm who had descended to the mortal world.

The woman standing on the left is wearing a light blue gauze. She has a graceful figure and skin as white as snow. Her eyes are lively and deep, as if all the twinkling stars in the night sky are gathered in her pupils.

The woman on the right covers her face with a layer of veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. She exudes a faint cool aura, like a plum blossom that blooms proudly in the snow, lonely and noble.

The woman in the middle was wearing a white dress, her long hair falling like a waterfall, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her face was breathtakingly beautiful.

She exudes an affinity that suggests she shares the same breath and fate with the heaven and earth, as if she is the most harmonious existence in the world.

They stood on the top of the tower, their clothes fluttering in the breeze, looking breathtakingly beautiful.

They stood quietly on the top of the tower, with the breeze blowing gently, causing their clothes to flutter, just like the clouds in the sky swaying gently. It was as beautiful as a painting, fascinating.

However, such a peerless beauty seems to be a corner forgotten by time, and no mortal eyes can capture the stunning beauty of this moment.

"Grand Elder, it seems we are a little late."

As soon as Su Li stood firm on the top of the tower, she cast her eyes towards the bustling square below, raised a faint smile, and said softly,

"The figure that just flew into the illusionary space, if it's as expected, should be Master Xiao Ling."

Ning Yuxi nodded slightly, agreeing with Su Li's guess. Although the three of them had just arrived here, the fluctuations caused by Xiao Ling before were quite significant. Even in this noisy occasion, it was difficult to conceal his unique aura, so they could naturally sense Xiao Ling's presence clearly.

"If he goes in, he goes in. For me, I am just accompanying you two little girls on this trip. I have nothing much to do with that boy. If you want to reminisce about the past, it is the relationship between you and him as master and disciple." Chu Wanqing responded casually with a calm expression and a hint of indifference in her tone.

However, there was a hint of unnaturalness in her words, as if she had some emotions hidden in her heart that she didn't want others to know, and was just pretending to be indifferent.

After hearing Chu Wanqing's words, Su Li and Ning Yuxi couldn't help but look at each other, and a subtle expression flashed across each other's faces.

After spending some time with the Grand Elder, they had more or less realized that there seemed to be some unknown connection between Chu Wanqing and that Master Xiao Ling.

However, whenever the deeds of Master Xiao Ling were mentioned, the Grand Elder always seemed reluctant to talk more, with an indescribable alienation in his tone. This made them have many doubts in their hearts, but they were unable to find out the truth.

"Let's go. Let's go into Shengdan City first and find a suitable pavilion to watch the game. I don't want to stand here idly." Chu Wanqing didn't wait for Su Li and Ning Yuxi to respond. Her figure flashed, and a slight fluctuation appeared in the air. Her figure then disappeared in this space.

Upon seeing this, Su Li and Ning Yuxi immediately put aside their guesses, and their figures quickly transformed into two bright rainbows of light. They followed closely behind, quickly catching up with Chu Wanqing's figure, and flew towards the northern region of Shengdan City.

……

Swish swish!

Looking at the figures that swept into the illusionary level like a swarm of locusts, Xuan Kongzi on the high platform nodded slightly, put his hands in his sleeves, and said in a light tone,

"This year's Alchemy Conference is quite interesting. I didn't expect that even some old faces who have been silent for many years would show up..."

"The power of the Three Thousand Flames far exceeds that of ordinary strange fires. For these old men in the alchemy world, it is an irresistible temptation. They will naturally not miss this feast and have come to find out what it is."

Tian Leizi, who was standing next to Xuan Kongzi, raised his eyelids slightly. His gaze was like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky, quickly sweeping over the figures that rushed into the illusion level, and he spoke with a hint of inexplicability in his tone.

"The younger generation is always stronger than the older generation. The strength of today's young generation should not be underestimated. They are not inferior to the older generation. Even if the old guys try their best, I am afraid they will not be able to escape the fate of being defeated in the end..."

At the side, Xuan Yi, who was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam, smiled gently and added in a playful tone.

Xuan Kongzi chuckled and nodded to show his agreement with Tian Leizi and Xuan Yi. He stroked his beard and said slowly,

"Indeed, there are many talented people among the young generation nowadays. But the one that interests me the most is Xiao Ling. I really want to know how far he can go in this alchemy meeting, whether he can stand out and finally win the honor of the championship..."

"Xiao Ling? Xuan Kongzi, if I remember correctly, your beloved disciple Cao Ying has already touched the threshold of the spiritual realm soul and is capable of refining an eighth-grade elixir, right?"

Tian Leizi raised his eyebrows, looking surprised. "You have always had high hopes for that girl and were full of confidence. Why did you suddenly turn your attention to other people?"

Xuan Yi also turned around, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She had met Xiao Ling several times before, so she naturally recognized Xiao Ling's outstanding talent.

However, Xuan Kongzi's remarks just now seemed to be somewhat different from his usual style, which was quite surprising. This attitude was not consistent with his usual style of doing things...

Facing the puzzled looks of his two friends, Xuan Kongzi smiled gently, with a deep light in his eyes.

"You two have not had any contact with that young man since you met him a few years ago. Therefore, you probably don't know that in the recent assessment of the five major families, even Ying'er and Dan Chen of the Dan family joined forces and failed to defeat Xiao Ling."

There was a rare hint of approval in Xuan Kongzi's tone, and he continued in a calm and low voice.

"Besides, I later had some contact with that little guy and found that he was not as simple as he seemed. Even I couldn't see through him completely."

"I have a feeling that Xiao Ling will definitely bring us unexpected surprises at this alchemy conference."

Having said that, he stroked his beard gently, an expectant smile appearing on his face, as if he had already foreseen the scene of Xiao Ling shining at the alchemy conference.

Upon hearing what Xuankongzi said, Tianleizi and Xuanyi couldn't help but exchange glances.

The information about Xiao Ling revealed by Xuan Kongzi was indeed unprecedented intelligence for them.

At this moment, the curiosity in the hearts of the two people has been completely ignited by Xuan Kongzi's words. They are full of expectations for Xiao Ling's next performance. They are curious about what kind of amazing talent and strength this young man will show in this alchemy conference...

Chapter 439: Misty Illusion

As Xiao Ling resolutely rushed towards the dark gray twisted space, he clearly felt that the rank badge hanging on his chest suddenly burst into a mysterious light.

Just as Xiao Ling expected, this light is undoubtedly a unique way to verify whether the alchemist has reached the fifth level. Only when he reaches the fifth level can he be qualified for the next assessment...

At this moment of overflowing light, when Xiao Ling's body came into contact with the distorted space, a powerful suction force suddenly emerged from the depths of that space, directly sucking Xiao Ling's figure into it, and disappearing on the edge of reality.

Facing this sudden suction, Xiao Ling did not feel the slightest sense of threat, so he did not put up any resistance. As the suction took effect, he only felt his eyes blur, as if he had passed through a crack in time and space.

When his vision became clear again, Xiao Ling immediately realized that he was in a strange dark grey space. It was filled with thick grey gas, and his vision was only half a meter, and the surroundings seemed hazy and mysterious.

In this limited space, he also noticed that certain areas were slightly distorted, as if the space itself was shaking.

Obviously, this place should be the so-called illusion level.

Xiao Ling's feet gently touched the dark gray gas. He did not rush to act, but stood quietly in place, with his eyelids slightly drooping. The power of his soul was like a pool of spring water, slowly spreading out from his body.

This dark grey gas obviously had a depressing effect on the soul. Xiao Ling had heard this from Ye Chong a long time ago, so he was not too surprised when he felt this depression.

However, although that feeling of oppression existed, it did not have a very significant effect on Xiao Ling.

With his powerful soul power, he could still easily see everything around him even under the barrier of the gas. However, his perception range was slightly shorter than usual.

As the soul power spread, Xiao Ling noticed that the dark gray gas around him was slightly fluctuating, which was undoubtedly a sign of the influx of new contestants.

Not only that, in the fog of this dark gray space, the lurking traps and the direction of the correct passage could not escape Xiao Ling's keen soul power insight.

His soul power was like an invisible light that penetrated the thick gray gas and exposed all the hidden things.

Without lingering any longer, Xiao Ling gathered his mind and took steady steps forward in the direction of the correct passage.

Along the way, he did encounter some insignificant traps, but for Xiao Ling now, these obstacles were like child's play and posed no threat at all.

However, Xiao Ling simply bypassed or cracked these traps and continued his pace, appearing to be very calm, which formed a sharp contrast with the embarrassed appearance of the other contestants...

Walking in this space, Xiao Ling occasionally encountered other contestants. However, whenever these contestants recognized Xiao Ling, they only bowed respectfully and did not dare to cross the line.

These people seemed to be afraid of Xiao Ling's awesome soul power, fearing that this strong man might pose a threat to them. Therefore, they did not show any intention to actively approach him, but instead kept their distance with obvious vigilance and avoided him from afar...

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Ling seemed very calm and composed. The deliberate avoidance of others made his journey more peaceful, allowing him to enjoy this rare leisure time...

Just as Xiao Ling was walking slowly and leisurely like this, his heart suddenly trembled slightly. Then, his eyes seemed to have noticed something and looked forward vigilantly.

Not far ahead, as the gray mist gently surged, a slender and graceful female figure gradually emerged from the mist. Xiao Ling looked closely and immediately recognized that it was the Xun'er he was very familiar with...

What surprised Xiao Ling was that Xun'er was wearing a bright red wedding dress at the moment. The delicate skirt bloomed like a blooming flower, swaying gently with her steps. The layers of gauze fabric looked particularly eye-catching in this gray space.

Her fair face was adorned with delicate makeup, her eyebrows were lightly drawn, her eyes were slightly raised, her lips were painted with bright lipstick, and her hair was dotted with dazzling beads. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Brother Xiao Ling, today is our wedding. After this, Xun'er will be able to fulfill the promise we made to each other..."

Before Xiao Ling could react, Xun'er spoke first. Her voice was like the melodious singing of a nightingale, clear and pleasant, yet gentle, which made people feel comfortable.

Xun'er walked up to Xiao Ling, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and whispered softly, "Brother Xiao Ling, are you also looking forward to what's coming next?"

As Xun'er spoke this, there was a hint of shyness in her expression that was hard to conceal. Her bright eyes seemed to be filled with dewy petals, gently drooping, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, just like a newly blooming peach blossom, both beautiful and moving.

It can be predicted that if Xiao Ling follows Xun'er's instructions, what awaits them will surely be an extremely erotic and alluring scene.
