"Alright, sisters, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Actually, Liuyun never intended to join the Supreme Response Sect. She came to the Southern Ridge Gathering this time just to accompany me and have some fun." Lin Aoxue told the two of them about this.

This came as a complete surprise.

"Huh? You don't plan to join the Taishang Ganying Sect? What does that mean?" Yan Yu and Chen Yao couldn't understand.

Lin Aoxue didn't know how to explain it either.

“Her path is different from ours, and the road she walks is different too. There’s no need to worry about this. Even if we can’t overcome it, it’s not a big deal,” Lin Aoxue replied again.

But just as Yan Yu and Chen Yao were about to say something, a figure suddenly appeared on the platform behind them.

"Huh? Oh dear, looks like I passed. Tsk tsk, there are only a little over a hundred spots left. Damn, I almost got eliminated. How embarrassing." Ye Liuyun complained to himself, then started looking for Lin Aoxue and the others. But in one look, he found that Lin Aoxue was with Yan Yu and Chen Yao.

So he walked over with a smile, but as soon as he got there, he heard Chen Yao say something.

"Fifty thousand spots have been filled. It seems Third Sister still hasn't passed the third round. Sigh!"

Ye Liuyun felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

"Hey, why do you three look so gloomy? Do you not have any faith in me?" Ye Liuyun's voice rang in their ears.

The moment the voice came out, the three of them were startled. They turned around to look behind them, and upon seeing what they saw, they were both surprised and relieved.

"Hey! You scared me, Third Sister. I thought you were really going to be eliminated." Yan Yu walked over immediately, patted Ye Liuyun's shoulder and complained.

"Why were you trapped for so long?" Lin Aoxue quickly came over and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately replied with a somewhat unlucky expression.

"This damned inner demon illusion has pinned the key to breaking the deadlock on you. I have to kill you in the inner demon illusion to break the deadlock. Tell me, how could I possibly target you first? Don't you think so?" Ye Liuyun said directly.

Yan Yu and Chen Yao understood immediately upon hearing this.

"Oh, I see. So, Third Sister, your weakness is Little Sister, right?" Chen Yao looked at Lin Aoxue.

They both knew the true relationship between Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, so they could understand.

This alone proves that Ye Liuyun's love for Lin Aoxue was absolutely true.

"Otherwise what? Besides, this damned inner demon trapped me deep in my mind from the very beginning, putting an extra shackle on me, which wasted a lot of time." Ye Liuyun helplessly spread his hands.

Hearing this, Lin Aoxue fell into deep thought, because she understood even more why Ye Liuyun's weakness was her.

Because Ye Liuyun is immortal, such a person cannot possibly have any weaknesses. If he has no weaknesses, then his weaknesses must lie with the people he cares about most.

"It's good that the impasse has been broken." Lin Aoxue smiled slightly, then reached out and grabbed Ye Liuyun's hand.

Ye Liuyun then chuckled and whispered a few words in Lin Aoxue's ear.

Lin Aoxue listened, completely stunned.

"Your inner demon illusion is quite interesting, while my test was rather dull and I resolved it in no time. But this also shows that you still have lingering feelings for Earth and long to go back," Lin Aoxue replied softly.

Ye Liuyun does not deny this point.

As they were talking, the voice of the Moon Fairy rang out again.

"With 50,000 people passing the test, the third test, the Trial of Inner Demons, has ended. Those who did not pass the test are eliminated. The remaining 50,000 people will begin the fourth test, the Trial of Survival."

After he finished speaking, the 50,000 people who had not yet awakened in the Heart Demon Space were forcibly awakened and then sent out of the trial space at the same time. On the Yunxia Sect's side, apart from Yun Xin and Xiao Hansheng, all of them were eliminated, and the disciples of the other sects were also eliminated.

In other words, the sect that Zixia Sect and the others belonged to stopped here.

"Alas! Sect Master Yun, it seems that our families are truly inferior to your Yunxia Sect in this generation." Zilan and the others had no choice but to admit this fact this time.

Yun Yun was overjoyed. Two members of her family were still able to continue the competition. By the way, don't think there are no rewards. Everyone who passes the first trial, the Heavenly Gate Trial, will receive a reward, but these rewards will be distributed after the tournament ends.

"Luck, luck," Yun Yun replied, barely suppressing her joy.

"Don't be modest. Anyway, your Yunxia Sect is probably going to rise to prominence this time. You'll have to take care of our three families in the future," Zilan said, both amused and exasperated.

Both the Sect Master of the Sunset Sect and the Sect Master of the Smoke and Dust Sect sighed in amazement, realizing that the gap between their four families had widened dramatically.

"Alright, next, I will introduce the rules of the four survival trials. This trial is a bit special, as it tests your wisdom. In the space of the survival trial, you will all become mortals, lose your powers, and be transported to various different environments to undergo tests. You need to use your brains to think calmly about how to survive."

"Don't think this test is unnecessary. Cultivators often face desperate situations. How to survive in such a situation is a question that cultivators need to think about. People who only have strength but no brains will not live long in the cultivation world. Throughout history, many geniuses have been arrogant and looked down on everyone, thus ruining their lives. There are countless examples of this. This test only has 40,000 slots, which means that 10,000 people will be eliminated."

"There is no time limit. You may all be teleported to the same area and face competition. Alright, the fourth survival test begins now." The Moon Fairy said this last sentence, and the next moment, the trial participants on the platform were teleported away.

This trial is probably not difficult for Ye Liuyun. First of all, whether the power of this trial space can affect Ye Liuyun's immortality is still unknown.

"Alright, Aoxue, good luck. This level should be easy for me." Ye Liuyun chuckled at the three of them.

Lin Aoxue and the other two nodded to each other, and the next moment, they were sent away by a force.

"I feel that many people are likely to suffer setbacks in this hurdle," said the high-ranking members of the Supreme Response Sect with great interest.

"Whether one can survive in a harsh environment is a necessary test for cultivators," a peak master said.

After a dizzying spin, Ye Liuyun suddenly heard the cries of seagulls, and the air was filled with the scent of the ocean.

"Huh? No way?" Ye Liuyun opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment, because in front of her was a vast sea, and she was standing on the beach of an island.

It seems Ye Liuyun's test is about island survival? The meaning of this survival test is truly hard to fathom.

"Surviving on an island? That's interesting, but isn't it a bit too easy? Besides, I don't feel like my power has disappeared." Ye Liuyun muttered to himself, clenching his fist.

However, when he tried to mobilize his internal energy, he found that it was as if it were sealed and could not be used. In other words, in this level, he could use physical strength, but he could not use magic power or internal energy.

This would be a huge advantage for Ye Liuyun, a body cultivator.

"Master, Master? Can you hear me?" Ye Liuyun called out to Lin Qingyou in his heart.

"Stop shouting, I can hear you. You must be wondering if you can live forever here. The answer is no. You will die here too, but only within the rules, and then you will be teleported out," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, but he was not discouraged.

"Whatever, it's a good opportunity to experience it. Besides, with my strength, I don't believe I'll die." Ye Liuyun punched the coconut tree next to him and said arrogantly.

Indeed, this place looked like it was rich in resources, and she felt that there was basically no difficulty.

Just as Ye Liuyun was feeling smug, all the coconuts on her head fell down from her head with her punch. Since Ye Liuyun was currently without divine sense, she didn't have time to react and was hit squarely by the coconuts.

"Ouch, damn it!" A series of cries of pain came from Ye Liuyun's mouth.

Fortunately, her physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people; she was only hit by a coconut and at most felt some pain.

If it were anyone else, they probably would have collapsed.

After a moment, Ye Liuyun rubbed his head and then looked at the coconuts on the ground.

"Damn it! You wretched coconut tree, you actually ambushed me, trying to crush me to death? No way, I'll wipe you out!" Ye Liuyun walked to the coconut tree, hugged it, and forcefully pulled it up.

If this coconut tree could talk, it would definitely scold Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? This? Master, shouldn't we seal off her physical strength as well? With this little girl's physical strength, wouldn't she be invincible in this level?" The high-ranking members of the Supreme Induction Sect were speechless as they watched Ye Liuyun, such a delicate woman, uprooting a coconut tree.

“Any trial is only relatively fair; how can it be completely fair? Besides, body cultivators are extremely rare, so it doesn’t mean they’re breaking the rules.” Ancestor Tianyi shook his head.

That's absolutely true. First of all, unless you can balance everyone's power, regardless of gender, to the same level, even then, can you balance everyone's mind as well?

Therefore, this is definitely unreasonable. Everyone's physical strength is different. It would be problematic if everything were the same.

Then look at Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun had put in a lot of effort to uproot the coconut tree.

"Damn, I'm exhausted. I haven't felt this tired in ages," Ye Liuyun said, panting as he sat on the beach.

She was drenched in sweat, having lost too much water. The sun was blazing in this area, and such reckless exertion made dehydration very easy.

Since seawater is undrinkable, freshwater becomes one of the main factors determining whether a person can survive.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun had watched many island survival live streams in his previous life and knew that coconuts were the best source of fresh water.

Ye Liuyun, a rogue, picked up a coconut from the ground and put on a show, demonstrating his ability to crush coconuts with his bare hands.

"Bang!" With a slap from Ye Liuyun, the coconut was smashed into pieces, and all the coconut juice inside spilled out.

"Huh? I think I used too much force." Ye Liuyun said awkwardly.

After thinking for a moment, to prevent herself from smashing the coconut again, she raised a finger and stabbed it, making a hole in the coconut. Coconut juice flowed out, and Ye Liuyun didn't care about anything else and quickly drank it in big gulps.

"Ah! That's awesome! I haven't felt this way in ages. This game is really fun. I wish I could move it back to the Cloud Sect." Ye Liuyun said excitedly.

Ye Liuyun is practically a human weapon.

Looking at the other trial participants, Ye Liuyun was considered quite lucky. Some of the unluckier ones were thrown directly into the desert, a place far more troublesome than any island.

"Damn it, what kind of survival trial is this? We're covered in yellow soil and sand, not a single blade of grass, and the sun is blazing. Is this survival? I think this is just trying to kill us!" Some cultivators cursed and swore.

People like them, any one of them is a prodigy in their respective sects, where have they ever suffered such hardship?

Lin Aoxue was transported to an icy wasteland. This place was incredibly cold, and even though Lin Aoxue had no power, she couldn't help but shiver when she was sent there.

In this godforsaken place, cultivators dressed in thin clothes are facing the prospect of freezing to death.

However, the way of life on the ice plains is different from other places. Lin Aoxue hadn't walked more than a few steps when she saw an uninhabited ice plains village in the distance.

There are some villages like this in the ice field. If there is no way to keep warm, the trainees sent to the ice field basically have no chance of survival.

Lin Aoxue quickly went over.

Actually, each has its own troubles. Don't think that islands are suitable for survival. Only Ye Liuyun is suitable for survival. For cultivators who have never been to the seaside and have no survival experience, it is not much different from deserts and ice fields.

Sure enough, Jiang Yan was also on an island. After being exposed to the sun for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore and immediately ran to drink seawater, which almost made him die from the saltiness.

"Pfft! What kind of place is this? It's salty!" Jiang Yan cursed as he spat out the seawater.

To be precise, almost all the trial participants were cursing at this moment.

Currently, the living environments include a variety of places such as islands, ice fields, deserts, rainforests, and barren mountains.

The rainforest has no shortage of water, but it is also full of poisonous insects, making it more dangerous than other trial areas. Sure enough, less than half an hour into the trial, some people were eliminated, and those eliminated were mostly trial participants in the rainforest.

Many of them died after being bitten by poisonous insects by accident.

"Ugh... I'm not convinced! What kind of trial is this? There wasn't a single hint!" Those who were eliminated were furious.

They weren't afraid of death, but the trial was inexplicable, sealing their power and preventing them from using any magical artifacts; they couldn't understand its meaning.

It's normal to be resentful, because while their cultivation aptitude may be good, they have some mental issues. If such cultivators were thrown into some secret realm, they probably wouldn't survive.

These eliminated individuals shouted and yelled on the platform, which naturally attracted the attention of the Supreme Response Sect. Immediately, a cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm came over.

"What are you shouting for? Don't you understand a principle? When you are in dire straits, the first thing you should do is be alert to your surroundings, understand your own situation, and then calm down to think about how to survive. Isn't this the mindset a cultivator should have? You should see how others deal with difficulties before you start talking about unfairness."

As soon as this person spoke, these people immediately dared not say anything more. They could only obediently retreat to the spectator stands to watch how the surviving cultivators would break the deadlock.

Yan Yu was also in the rainforest at this time, but she was very careful. She held a thick branch in her hand to clear a path and kept her eyes on the surroundings, not daring to be careless at all.

"Damn, this is incredibly difficult." As Yan Yu walked, he spotted a green venomous snake.

She killed the venomous snake with a single blow, then picked up its carcass and removed its head.

Back then, Yan Yu traveled everywhere alone in search of Chen Yao. If he hadn't had any survival skills in the wild, he would have died long ago.

She knew very well that this seemingly vibrant rainforest was fraught with hidden dangers.

After walking for a while, Yan Yu discovered a very smelly plant. Without saying a word, she crushed the plant's leaves and applied the foul-smelling juice to various parts of her body.

This thing can repel insects. In places like this, wild beasts are manageable, but poisonous insects are impossible to avoid.

Time passed slowly, and soon an hour had gone by. Ye Liuyun was walking barefoot along the edge of the beach, carrying his shoes in one hand and drinking from a coconut in the other.

She was quite enjoying herself, and as she walked, she encountered other trial participants.

It was a female nun who was climbing up a coconut tree while hugging it. It seemed that she had also discovered that coconuts could provide her with water.

"Damn it." The female cultivator looked uncomfortable. First of all, the clothes she was wearing were not suitable for climbing trees, and besides, the women in this world probably had no experience in climbing trees.

This was a last resort; if you wanted to pass the level and survive, you couldn't afford to worry about saving face.

However, the female nun was probably unlucky; her arm was scratched by a coconut tree, and she fell down from the tree in pain.

"It's over." The female cultivator closed her eyes in fright.

These coconut trees are very tall. In this place, if you fall from a height of several meters, you're bound to be eliminated.

However, she was lucky to run into Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun saw the female cultivator fall from the tree, and with a whoosh, he ran over and caught her easily.

The nun suddenly felt herself fall into a soft embrace and was stunned. When she looked up, she saw that it was a very beautiful woman.

"Are you alright?" Ye Liuyun looked at the girl in his arms and smiled slightly.

The female cultivator was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you so much for saving me."

"Yes, I just happened to see you. It was nothing." Ye Liuyun put the female cultivator down.
