The early morning descended, and the Tianxuan City, which had been quiet for an entire night, quickly became lively.

The dormant and comfortable cultivators all had their spiritual Genuine Essence restored to their peak. Each and every one of them was full of energy as they walked onto the street, their bodies surging with Genuine Qi.

Lin Yue and Gao Xuan came out of the inn, telling Zheng Wan and the others to stay there to rest. The two of them followed the crowd, going to see the match-up list.

The number of young talents participating in the Leader Board this time around amounted to over two hundred thousand. There were a total of four thousand five hundred people who could stand out and stand out on the Leader Board list.

It was impossible for two hundred thousand heroic elites to fight in a one versus one match. If that were the case, then it wouldn't be too late to hold this contest for two or three years.

The first round of the rankings did not need to be fought alone. They needed to have a thorough examination, which also meant that there would be some sort of mechanism that would allow the crowd to pass through. If they succeeded, they would be able to compete for the rankings.

The crowd surged as they followed the long street to a vast plaza. The surrounding tens of thousands of Eastern Tang guards were all dressed in armor and carried heavy soldiers.

More than 200,000 people were quickly arranged into eight long dragons, and in front of every captain, there was a black stone.

Those with vast knowledge had a grave and solemn expression. They recognized that it was a Profound Spirit Stone that could test one's talent and roughly measure it.

After going through the Profound Spirit Stone's probing, they would be divided into first grade, second grade, and all the way until the ninth grade. After they were divided, each grade would be used to undergo a brutal secret realm survival test.

The higher the aptitude one had after going through the Profound Spirit Stone, the more severe the trial they would face in the secret realm, and the lower the chances of survival. But at the same time, the more Leader Board that they could participate in would also be higher.

After a full day of selection, all of the ninth level talents were divided up.

Lin Yue was divided into five ranks, with his talent being mediocre, while Gao Xuan was clearly superior to Lin Yue.

After entering the secret realm, the Genuine Essence would be injected into it. It would be able to activate the command medallion, and once the command medallion was destroyed, it would signify the failure of the secret realm examination, and there would be no chance for them to participate in the next stage of the competition.

The destruction of the medallion also often signified the cruel fact that the owner of the medallion had died.

After a full day and night of waiting, on the morning of the third day, all the disciples entered the secret realm. Lin Yue, on the other hand, was fully equipped and prepared.

Zheng Wan was reluctant to part with them, she gave all of the Spirit Pill's miraculous medicines to Lin Yue, and also gave some of the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits that could prolong her life, in case of urgent need.

Seeing her expression, Lin Yue sighed in his heart and comforted her with a few words. "Don't worry, I will be fine. Just wait here for me.

Lin Yue instructed Liu Meng and the others to protect Jin Chan. She hardened her heart, turned and walked up the main street, and followed the fifth stage and the rest of the participants, towards the plaza.

With a wave of his hand, an emerald gourd appeared in the sky. There was a flash of light, in the depths of the sky, countless rays of light shot down onto the gourd, and immediately, the light circulated and shone upon everyone, making them feel dizzy. They could not help but close their eyes, as their bodies were shaking non-stop.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Yue slowly opened his eyes and suddenly discovered that he had arrived at an unfamiliar place.

There were desolate mountains and lofty ridges everywhere. Dark mountain peaks towered in the horizon, and the sky was overcast with dark clouds that were filled with a murderous aura.

On the other hand, the demonic Qi in the mountain was suffused with the fierce roars of Demonic Beast. Waves of cold wind blew over, bringing with it a strong stench.

When Lin Yue thought about the bright gourd, he knew that the man in the black dragon robe used a secret technique to bring them to the secret realm.

The fifth level had around 20,000 people. Amongst the cultivators of all levels, the number was the largest and the largest.

And at this time, within Lin Yue's line of sight, not a single person could be seen and he could not help but deeply frown. It seemed that there was another world within this mountain, it was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface.

He took out the order badge inscribed with his information, took a deep breath and used the Genuine Essence, and injected it inside.

Immediately, the order badge glowed with a soft light, and from it, an order was transmitted into Lin Yue's brain, and in the air in front of him, an illusionary map appeared in front of him.

"According to the map, for the sake of hunting the Demonic Beast, one must finish hunting the required Demonic Beast within 24 hours and complete the mission. Otherwise, the token will self-destruct and the qualifications to participate will be disqualified."

The order was emotionlessly repeated in Lin Yue's mind twice, and then it disappeared without a sound. Lin Yue immediately focused and memorized the map in front of him, and the number of Demonic Beast s that were marked on it, was also imprinted on his heart.

He had just memorized it when the map in front of him disappeared. No matter how hard he tried to activate the command token, the map never appeared.

Lin Yue was surprised by his plan, but he also frowned at the same time. Those participants who could not remember their own mission, they would definitely not give up, there were still a lot of things that they could do, they would crazily stop other participants from completing their missions, and kill and be hunted down, this was clearly a trap, but even though everyone understood it, they were still willing to jump inside.

Lin Yue thought for a moment, then braced himself, and did not dare to be careless. He jumped onto the crown of a large tree, looked at his position, and started to follow the first goal on the map, and rushed forward.

In the forest, the aura of Demonic Beast was everywhere. The aura was filled with a dense demonic mist that floated about. It appeared eerie and strange in the primeval forest.

Lin Yue passed by a large tree and paused for a moment. He looked at a stream of water in front of him and saw a corpse lying on the shore.

Lin Yue paused for a moment, and looked at that person's luxurious clothes. It was obvious that he was a member of a clan and had been killed when he entered the secret realm.

Beside the corpse, there were many items scattered around. The treasure sword, medicine pouch, and the scattered crystal jade were all very precious items.

The descendant of a Venerable family had a lot of resources on him. Now that he was killed, the person who killed him should have taken these things away, but right now, he was just standing there, letting Lin Yue feel shocked.

"That spiritual herb seems to be Star Purple Grass."

Lin Yue squinted his eyes, seeing the light purple spirit grass with a star like flower outside, he recognized that it was a Quasi-Tier 3 spiritual herb, the Star Purple Grass.

He looked around, adjusted his breathing, and slowly walked over.

The corpse had indeed stopped breathing, and Lin Yue could feel that the blood of the other party was already completely cold, it was not a fake death.

He walked to the side of the medicine bag and bent down to pick up the Star Violet Grass.

"Hua!"

Suddenly, from the flowing river, a sword light shot over, like a violent python, fiercely thrusting towards Lin Yue.

Lin Yue's highly stretched body suddenly disappeared from his original position, and when he reappeared, he was already more than 30 metres away.

"Un!? "What a fast movement technique!"

The person that flew out of the water stood still and said in surprise. After that, his gaze shifted and sized Lin Yue up a few times. What a joke, his cultivation base was actually so low! "He probably doesn't have anything good on him either."

Lin Yue looked at his snake-like pupils. His aura was around the sixth level of the Martial Master realm and was extremely dark.

's expression was indifferent as he pulled out his Ink Sword. The waves of the sword surging forward as he used his sword technique to attack.

The man stood where he was with a face full of disdain, and slowly raised his sword as well. Light flickered on his sword, as he prepared to use a sword technique to determine victory or defeat against Lin Yue.

"Crack!"

Ah!" "Despicable!

But suddenly, Lin Yue disappeared from his original position, and with the power of the Ghost Step, he directly flew past the man, the Sword Qi pushed forward, caught the man off guard, and cut off his arm, causing him to curse loudly.
