Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

The Killing Trial is the easiest level; it's not difficult. If you have enough skills and strong enough combat power, you can pass it.

It was also the fastest elimination round, taking only about half an hour to complete the trial.

"The fifth trial, the Slaughter Trial, has ended. There are still 20,000 people left. Prepare to begin the sixth endless trial immediately. The sixth trial, the Endless Trial, is a test of how many levels you can clear. You will fight against demonic beasts of similar cultivation level. One in the first level, two in the second level, and then the number of demonic beasts will increase until you are eliminated. After being eliminated, you will be ranked according to the level you cleared and the time you took to clear the level. The top 10,000 trial participants will advance to the seventh trial, the Hunting Trial."

"However, the hunting trial will not begin immediately. After passing the sixth level, you will be teleported out of the trial space and given three days to rest. During these three days, you can freely visit the 108 lineages of the Supreme Response Sect. The final three levels of the competition will officially begin three days later. I wish you good luck." The voice of the Moon Fairy rang out again.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun and the others were teleported to a separate space, but each person's separate space was the same.

"Hey? This killing trial is really fast. Is this so-called endless trial a tower climbing game?" Ye Liuyun muttered as he looked around at the environment.

The area she was in was inside a palace, a closed palace, with no stairs in sight.

However, right in the center of the palace, there was a monster, a monster that resembled a butterfly, or perhaps a moth, or something similar.

This monster is too weak; it's only at the Spirit Stream Realm.

"A demonic beast from the Spirit Stream Realm? What's going on? Is this trial space looking down on me? Why did they assign me such a weak demonic beast?" Ye Liuyun was speechless as he looked at the demonic beast that had little fighting power.

Not only was Ye Liuyun speechless, but the Supreme Response Sect and the cultivators watching from the elimination zone outside were also puzzled.

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't fair! Why did this trial space give this little girl such a weak demon beast? A demon beast at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm, isn't this just a free pass?" The cultivators who were furious said.

They always felt that the Taishang Ganying Sect had given Ye Liuyun a back door, because Ye Liuyun was a complete freak. He didn't seem to have high cultivation, but he possessed superhuman physical strength and so many strange and wonderful methods.

Even cultivators at the half-step Four Extremes Secret Realm were defeated by her, yet she only deployed demonic beasts at the Spirit Stream Realm level with such formidable combat power.

Let's take another look at Lin Aoxue and the others. The monsters arranged for them are basically evenly matched, and some even have attributes that counter each other.

For example, Lin Aoxue was facing a Vajra Ape with earth attribute at the early stage of the Dao Palace realm. This beast was incredibly strong and had extremely high defense.

However, Lin Aoxue's combat strength was certainly not afraid of this kind of early Foundation Establishment stage demon beast.

As for those cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage of the Dao Palace, the strength of the demonic beasts they face is relatively high.

In theory, they are all about the same. Unless a cultivator is exceptionally powerful, they will be at a disadvantage when facing a demon beast of the same level.

In any case, you can't compare yourself to freaks like Ye Liuyun. The more you compare yourself to them, the more incompetent you'll feel.

"All 20,000 trial participants are in position. The competition is officially beginning. Good luck to you all." After waiting for a while at this stage, the Moon Fairy announced the start of the competition.

As the competition began, the previously calm monsters immediately became ferocious, and they immediately attacked their respective enemies with all their might.

The battle immediately commenced.

But Ye Liuyun's situation was quite comical. The little monster lunged at Ye Liuyun fiercely, but Ye Liuyun easily caught it in one hand.

This little guy looks quite cute, constantly wriggling around, but no matter how much he wriggles, it's useless against Ye Liuyun's power.

"That's it? Who do you think you are?" Ye Liuyun gently pinched the little demon beast in the Spirit Stream Realm, and it turned into energy and disappeared.

Ye Liuyun became the first person to clear the first level.

Meanwhile, the main hall of the Supreme Response Sect fell into complete silence.

"Hey? Isn't this inappropriate? The opponent assigned to this little girl is too weak. She should actually have at least the combat power of a Dao Palace Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Why is she matched with a little demon in the Spirit Stream Realm?" someone questioned.

However, the expert in charge of the formation immediately spoke up to explain.

"The monsters in this trial are arranged according to the cultivator's cultivation level and the Daoist techniques they cultivate. However, this little girl is a pure body cultivator. The rules of the trial space are uniform, so she has an advantage. We can't possibly change the rules specifically for her."

That statement makes sense. Just like in the previous levels, Ye Liuyun's advantage as a body cultivator is exceptionally great, but they cannot adjust the rules just because someone else is special.

"Special" means a very small minority, while rules are designed for the majority.

"With this little girl's physical strength, let alone a single demon at the Spirit Stream Realm, even a thousand or ten thousand would be useless against her. There's no need to pay attention to her anymore. She'll probably be bored in this trial. Let's watch what others are going through," said Ancestor Tianyi.

After saying that, everyone shifted their gaze away from Ye Liuyun and went to observe other interesting trial participants.

However, Li Muyun's gaze remained fixed on Ye Liuyun, as if no one else existed in her eyes.

In this stage, everyone can see their ranking, but only those who are in the top 10,000 are displayed.

Ye Liuyun was genuinely bored. She went to the second floor, where there were two little monsters. She easily defeated them with a single punch, and then immediately went up to the third floor. It was as if she had a cheat code; everything went incredibly smoothly for her.

The smooth progress made Ye Liuyun feel bored, but she had no choice; even if it was boring, she still had to climb up.

"This, this first place, how come he's so fast? Less than a minute, he's already on the fourth level, did he cheat?" The cultivators in the other spaces looked at Ye Liuyun's avatar and twitched their lips.

Even Lin Aoxue and the others thought it was a bit outrageous.

"Strange? Is this guy just mindlessly throwing out core pills? I remember those things need preparation time, right? How can it be so fast?" Lin Aoxue killed the two demonic beasts in front of her with a single sword strike, and then muttered to herself.

Lin Aoxue is in second place, but she has only just climbed to the third level. Following closely behind are Yan Yu and Chen Yao. These four sisters are firmly in the top four.

However, the three of them were simply strong enough in terms of ability, while Ye Liuyun seemed to have exploited a loophole in the rules.

Anyway, it's rather boring. This stage takes a long time. Among the remaining 20,000 people, apart from a few oddballs like Ye Liuyun, the weakest among them are all at the Nascent Soul stage.

For most people, defeating a monster of the same level isn't particularly difficult. Everyone here has the ability to fight a monster of a higher level. But the problem is, if the number of monsters increases, and they can kill one monster of a higher level, can they kill a whole group of monsters of a higher level?

When Ye Liuyun arrived at the 20th floor, Lin Aoxue and the others had only reached the 10th floor, and some trial participants had already begun to be eliminated.

Lin Aoxue and the others also began to feel the pressure. The tenth floor meant facing the siege of ten demonic beasts of similar strength, which was naturally quite difficult.

Those that were eliminated were not sent directly to the elimination area, but were placed in a separate space.

Of the 20,000 people, most stopped within the first ten floors, and only one-third climbed to the eleventh floor or above.

Moreover, starting from the tenth floor, many people will be eliminated on each floor and cannot last long. Although it is said that there is no limit to the number of levels, in reality, only Ye Liuyun can do it easily. For the rest, the twentieth floor is probably the limit.

An hour later, the competition ended. Ye Liuyun had climbed to over a hundred floors, while Lin Aoxue was still struggling on the sixteenth floor and couldn't climb any further.

"The competition is over. Everyone, please teleport out of the trial space."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately let out a sigh of relief, a sigh born of boredom.

"It's finally over, though."

The next moment, all 20,000 people gathered in another space.

Why is a second level of ranking necessary? Because some people, although not eliminated, haven't climbed to a high level.

For example, even if you are on the tenth floor and haven't been eliminated, your level is not as high as someone else's eleventh floor. The ranking is based on each person's floor level first. If the floor levels are the same, then the survival time is considered.

Ye Liuyun originally wanted to go find Lin Aoxue, but the rankings came out very quickly, and in no time, the rankings of 10,000 people were released.

"Hey! Oh! 10001st? Ah, just one short!" A cultivator said in despair, clutching his head.

"Alright, you've all seen your rankings. Those who aren't ranked 10,000 are out. However, those who passed the first trial, the Heavenly Gate Trial, are not directly eliminated. If you're willing, you can take advantage of these three days to go to the 108 lineages of the Supreme Response Sect to undergo the sect trial. If you're destined, you can still join the Supreme Response Sect."

"If you do not wish to join the Supreme Induction Sect, you may leave after receiving your rewards. Of course, you may also become spectators and watch all the trials before leaving. Next, those who are eliminated will be teleported to the elimination plaza, and the winners will be teleported to the entrance and exit. The sect has arranged rest areas for you. The rules for the next three trials will be slightly different," the Moon Fairy announced.

Upon hearing this, all the participants breathed a sigh of relief and were teleported out. When they came to their senses again, they found themselves still at the entrance and exit of the first trial, the Heavenly Gate Trial.

They stood there in a daze, as if they were possessed, until the array beneath their feet slowly stopped operating, and only then did they regain their senses.

In fact, these six trials have been like playing a game in a virtual world. The formation beneath their feet sends their consciousness into the trial space, so no matter how they die inside, they will not truly die.

"Hehe, congratulations on passing the sixth trial. Please follow this path. There will be people along the way to guide you to a place to rest." After they woke up, a group of disciples of the Supreme Response Sect appeared in front of Ye Liuyun and his companions, indicating that they could continue.

Ye Liuyun first looked around, and then looked at his feet.

"This trial is interesting; it should be based on the same principle as the game we played in Tianyi City last time."

Ye Liuyun glanced at the door behind him and immediately understood.

"Eh? Aoxue? I'm here." After observing the situation, Ye Liuyun immediately looked for Lin Aoxue and the others.

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue immediately walked over, and Yan Yu and Chen Yao also moved closer to him.

The other factions also began to count their numbers. They all knew very well that the real trial would begin from the seventh level. All the previous trials were merely set up to purify the trial participants and reduce the number of participants.

The reason for stopping for three days is that these three challenges will definitely be more difficult.

The remaining three trials are the Hunting Trial, the Trial of Prodigies, and the Trial of Dao Discussion.

"Oh, thank goodness, thank goodness, you all passed. How were those rounds?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this question, Lin Aoxue gave a very displeased reply.

"That survival trial really annoyed me, but the rest were alright," Lin Aoxue said.

"Me too, that survival trial was the most troublesome, I almost got eliminated," Chen Yao complained.

Sure enough, everyone thought the fourth level was the most difficult.

Just as they were talking, people from the Yun Sect arrived.

The Yun Sect had 100 participants, but now only 26 remain. The other three sects are in a similar situation, with around 20 to 30 participants each.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness. At least, none of the sect's promising talents or personal disciples have been left behind. This is the best possible outcome." Murong Huan glanced at the people around him and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next three levels, especially the eighth and ninth, they may have to fight for themselves, while in the seventh level they may need to cooperate with each other.

"Yes, Junior Sister Ye, Junior Sister Lin, let's go." Murong Huan smiled slightly.

Some are happy while others are sad. Among the major sects in the Northern Region, the Eight Desolate Supreme Hall is in the worst situation. More than a dozen disciples with Yellow-level aptitude have been eliminated. However, in terms of overall combat strength, they are still the strongest among the sects.

However, we can't focus all our attention on those few families. In fact, many dark horses have emerged in this competition. Leaving aside Ye Liuyun and his group, among the remaining 10,000 people, apart from the major sects, there are quite a few unknown figures or relatively low-profile individuals.

The Taishang Ganying Sect had already begun screening and retaining disciples. Those who were marked by them were generally the disciples they needed to recruit.

These three days, though ostensibly a time for them to rest, are more accurately described as a time for the Taishang Ganying Sect to recruit people in advance.

With the end of the sixth trial, the atmosphere among the higher-ups of the Supreme Response Sect became somewhat strange, with everyone displaying different expressions.

In particular, the people from the four major sects, the high-ranking officials from the four major sects of the Northern Region, were not only their sect leaders, but also some elders.

Since they were guests, they spoke relatively little, with only their sect leader speaking. Of course, Song Qingtian and the others generally didn't talk much when they weren't busy.

At most, he would only speak up and make a few sarcastic remarks when he had the chance to embarrass Tianyi and the others.

Alternatively, the Heavenly Ancestor and the others might speak up first, and then they would reply with a few words.

Of course, the main reason is that the people from the Nine Heavens Holy Land are here. If the people from the Nine Heavens Holy Land were not here, they would be much freer and more at ease.

They may disregard the Taishang Ganying Sect, but they still have to give face to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Tianyi, now that the first six rounds are over, I'll go check on my disciples who have advanced and give them some instructions." Song Qingtian exchanged a glance with them, then stood up and said.

Ancestor Tianyi certainly wouldn't stop her, but she also understood that these four sects would probably have to prepare something for the next three rounds of competition, and might even cause some big commotion.

After all, they already know which people they can't have, or rather, which people they want.

They certainly wouldn't dare to even think about the people from the four major sects of the Southern Region, but they would probably send people to secretly make contact with other forces as well.

Ancestor Tianyi had to admit that if these four major sects wanted to compete with them for talent, they could definitely offer higher conditions to attract these outstanding young talents.

The conditions that the Taishang Ganying Sect can offer are limited. After all, they certainly cannot make empty promises just to get someone to join them. This would not benefit the Taishang Ganying Sect, and they would disdain doing such a thing.

"Well, fellow Daoists, please make yourselves at home." Ancestor Tianyi nodded with a smile.

After exchanging greetings, the people from the four major sects all left. Once they were all gone, Li Muyun suddenly stood up.

"Senior Tianyi, this junior would also like to go and see the ten thousand promising talents who have won," Li Muyun said, standing up to Elder Tianyi.

Ancestor Tianyi was taken aback. Her first thought was whether Li Muyun wanted to choose someone, but Ancestor Tianyi also understood that even if the other party wanted to choose someone, it was something she couldn't stop.

Since we can't stop her, we can only let her be.

“Holy Maiden, if you have such thoughts, it’s a good thing for these young talents. Perhaps you will find someone you like and take them back to the Holy Land to cultivate.” Ancestor Tianyi said meaningfully.

She actually wanted to see if Li Muyun had such a plan. If he did, then she would probably have to be mentally prepared.

"Hehe, senior, don't worry. The Holy Land has its own rules. Even if there are disciples they have their eye on, they will wait for the Yaochi Ascension Conference two hundred years from now. I just want to get to know these prodigies. Speaking of which, I'm not even a hundred years old this year, so I'm from the same generation as them," Li Muyun said with a smile.

Li Muyun is less than a hundred years old, a fact that the Heavenly Ancestor knows.

“I see. Then, would the Holy Maiden like us to send a disciple to assist her? After all, this is your first time visiting our Supreme Response Sect, and you may not be very familiar with our situation,” said Ancestor Tianyi.

Li Muyun did not refuse.

“Alright, junior, I have no objection. However, it would be best to find a female disciple,” Li Muyun said.

Ancestor Tianyi nodded, and then immediately gestured to Fairy Taiyin.

The Moon Fairy seemed to understand what the Heavenly Ancestor meant, so she immediately took out a communication magic item and spoke into it.

"Xuan Yin, come here for a moment."

Xuan Yin, mentioned by the Fairy of the Moon, is her eldest disciple and a third-generation disciple of the Supreme Response Sect.

The Taishang Ganying Sect currently has four generations of disciples. As long as they are direct disciples, they generally have a Taoist name.
