Mu Xiaoling didn't know what kind of reaction Zhong Wusheng would have. He could only helplessly look at the small blue ball in front of him.

She didn't summon him, but rather this little ball of fire ran out on its own. It was angered by Zhong Yunfei's sneak attack, causing the person to be swept inside and burnt to the ground with not even a speck of ash remaining.

She felt that she should teach this little brat a lesson. However, when she faced him, she could feel him staring at her pitifully. She couldn't say anything reprimanding him. In the end, she could only sigh, "Ah, you …"

Gu Xiu said, "Master, we shouldn't stay here for too long. Let's leave first."

"Fine." Mu Xiaoling nodded.

Jiang Feng suddenly stood up and pointed to the west. "Walk that way. I feel that something is attracting me over there."

Mu Xiaoling said, "Let's head over there and take a look. Maybe we will be able to find something unexpected."

Just like that, the three of them continued on their journey.

Perhaps with Gu Xiuhu and Jiang Feng accompanying him, he didn't feel as lonely as he did in the beginning.

Mu Xiaoling couldn't help but laugh as she thought about how cold and merciless she used to be. However, ever since she had come to this world, she had the support of these people to comfort her. Her heart was no longer as cold as it was before.

The secret realm was very strange. The further they went to the west, the colder it felt. It was especially strange when the cold wind blew, as if the wind had entered through the collar and into the neck. It was so strange that it made one's heart tremble.

There was no more light in the sky. Dark clouds hung overhead, and the grass was sparse. It could not cover the nearly black ground beneath.

Right at this moment, a mansion appeared in front of them. The gate of the mansion was filled with people, all from the three great families.

Mu Xiaoling curiously walked over to the door and saw a stone tablet filled with names and ranks.

For example, the first place person, Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu?!

Mu Xiaoling's eyes widened and she almost thought that she'd recognized the wrong person. Or was it that Xiao Yu wasn't the same person as her?

Looking further down, on the second day, Zhang Tian, the third, Leng Feng, the fourth... The final one was ranked 100th.

Just then, someone from the crowd shouted, "It has changed! The 93rd has changed! Zhong Feng is from the Zhong Family!"

The surrounding crowd of people immediately cheered.

Mu Xiaoling saw with her own eyes that the 93rd position on the stone monument had changed to the name of Zhong Feng.

At this moment, someone shouted, "It has changed again and again. This time it's thirty-six."

"Oh my god, thirty-six, who's so powerful?"

"It's the Dome of the Heavens, the Dome of the Heavens!"

The watching Qiong family members immediately let out a cheer, they were so happy that they almost cried out.

Gu Xiu said in shock, "This …" "Don't tell me this is the Heaven Defying Stele!"

Mu Xiaoling looked at him. "What's that?"

It is said that in the ancient times, there was a Martial God who, before his death, used his own true essence to form a stone tablet and set a test. Those who passed the test will appear on this stone tablet, and those who passed the test will be placed in the top 100. This stone tablet is called the Heaven Seeking Stele, but this thing has disappeared for a long time, and no one knows where it went.

Mu Xiaoling said, "I also share the same sentiments."

At this moment, the courtyard door opened and seven people walked out. One of them was Xuan Yuan.

However, Yu Xuan's condition was not too good. His skin was tattered, and he was covered in wounds. Even his hair was burnt a little. However, he was still considered better than the other six people.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoling was also surprised, Xuan Wuji tidied himself up a bit before walking up to Mu Xiaoling. "Does Miss Mu wish to try out the Lin Heavenly Stele?"

Mu Xiaoling nodded. "That's right."

"You can only enter seven people at a time. There are seven paths, and each path is divided into five stages. Each stage will be graded based on your performance, and the final ranking will be added in."

Speaking of this, Yu Xuan revealed a wry smile, "However, this name isn't the name that appears every time the trial is opened. It's the name that all the participants of this trial have scored a good score on since ancient times.

Mu Xiaoling asked, puzzled, "Didn't you see the Lin Heavenly Stele?"

Yu Xuan shook his head. "Not yet. I don't dare to."

Mu Xiaoling slightly nodded her head as she calmly congratulated him. "Congratulations, you are ranked thirty-sixth."

"How can I …" Kuang Xuan suddenly stopped and pointed at the tip of his nose in disbelief: "You're saying I'm the 36th?"

"Go take a look." Mu Xiaoling saw that there were six people standing in front of the door. She also stood up and Gu Xiuhu and Jiang Feng instantly returned to her beast driving space.

Those six were also extremely conflicted. One of them, a big guy, shouted: "We need a full seven people to enter, but no one dares challenge us again?"

Everyone retreated a step in unison. It was alright to let them watch the show, but to go in?

Isn't that courting death?

The people in front were all fine when they came out. When they heard that one of them almost died inside and even the blade was cut on the scalp, they were finally brought out.

Mu Xiaoling walked over. "Let me do it."

"You?" The big man looked suspiciously at Mu Xiaoling. "How old are you? There's no one to save you if you're scared to the point of wetting your pants."

Although the words were a bit sloppy, Mu Xiaoling was able to hear his good intentions. She glanced at his black clothes and didn't expect that the Zhong Family wasn't full of bastards. "It's alright."

"She's not even afraid of little girls, what are you blabbering about? If she's gone, then she's gone, don't waste your time." The one who spoke was a very charming woman. She wore the orange dress of the Qing Clan. However, it was clearly the same clothes. This woman gave off a seductive feeling.

The big man glanced at the woman and did not try to persuade her anymore. He led the way into the courtyard.

When all seven of them had entered, the courtyard door automatically closed with a bang.

This courtyard was quite spacious and very long. In front of him was a large house with seven doors. However, at this moment, all the doors were tightly shut.

At this time, two words appeared out of nowhere in midair — Name.

That big fellow was the first to speak, "My name is Zhong Jiu."

Next was the charming woman. "My name is Qing Xue Niang."

After that was still the youth from the Zhong Family. However, there was always a sense of gloom on his face. "Zhong Han."

Then the three of them said their names, Qing Yuan, Vault, and Vault.

Mu Xiaoling was the last one.

After announcing their names, a wooden chest appeared before the crowd. On the chest, there was a round hole so that a person's hand could reach in.

At the same time, seven to seven numbers appeared on the seven doors.

Zhong Jiu was the first to reach into his hand and take out a small ball with the word "three" written on it.

He took the ball to Gate Three and held it close. The door swung open and pulled him inside.
