“Senior Sister, what’s going on here?”

Before Su Rong could say anything else, Xia Yuning hurriedly asked. She wanted to quickly understand the things here as she might be able to help.

“You should know that these cultivators from the Ten Thousand Star Kingdom had come here for the core of the mystic realm.” Su Rong did not say anything else and quickly explained, “If I’m not wrong, the core of the mystic realm should be in this huge place. If we obtain the core of the mystic realm, we should be able to leave this place.”

“I see. Then why didn’t anyone go in?”

Xia Yuning nodded before feeling puzzled.

“It’s not as easy as you think..” Su Rong smiled bitterly and explained, “There’s a limit to the number of people who can go in for the Black Tower trials. It only opens once every day and can only allow ten people to enter.”

“Ten?”

“That’s too little!”

Ye Xuan was stunned on the spot.

“Ten is the total number of people. Our Thousand Moon Country has four spots, and the Ten Thousand Star Kingdom has six spots.”

Su Rong shook her head gently.

“Only four?”

Xia Yuning was also stunned.

Su Rong did not speak this time and only glanced in the direction of the Ten Thousand Star Kingdom.

Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning instantly understood.

The difference in strength!!

There were many more experts in the Ten Thousand Star Kingdom than in the Thousand Moon Country, especially when there was a fellow at Level 8 of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If not for the fact that they were afraid that both sides would be injured, the two sides would have already fought.

Now that both sides had taken a step back, splitting the quota in the ratio of was the best outcome.

Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning both understood.

“By the way, Senior Sister, what’s the assessment in the Black Tower?”

“Have you been inside?”

Ye Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

“Tough, it is very difficult…”

Su Rong shook her head and said weakly, “There are various checkpoints inside. At the first checkpoint, there are various demonic beasts with powerful combat strength. This is followed by a battle with the phantom of a cultivator of the same realm as oneself. Then, the last checkpoint…”

“What’s the last checkpoint?!”

Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning’s eyes widened and their breathing stopped.

“No one knows…” Su Rong shook her head.

“Huh?” Ye Xuan was dumbfounded.

“However, according to our speculation, the last checkpoint should also be a battle with the phantom of a cultivator of the same realm. However, the other party might be very strong.”

Su Rong added.

“It’s merely the same realm. What’s so difficult about it?”

Ye Xuan pursed his lips.

“Merely???” Su Rong glanced at Ye Xuan strangely and said meaningfully, “If you could reach the last checkpoint, you wouldn’t think so. The combat power of that phantom is beyond your imagination. It’s at least comparable to cultivators of the same level of the Earth Dao Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“Earth Dao Foundation Establishment!”

Xia Yuning’s pupils dilated.

However, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Ye Xuan.

She pursed her red lips and did not say anything in the end. However, an imperceptible look of anticipation flashed across her eyes.

“What about the Qi Refinement Stage?

“There can’t still be those at the Qi Refinement Stage of the Earth Dao, right?”

Ye Xuan curled his lips and said.

“Qi Refinement Stage?”

“Do you think a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator could pass the previous rounds?”

Su Rong asked with a smile.

After entering the Black Tower, one first had to pass three small checkpoints before reaching the big checkpoints and challenging an opponent of the same level as him.

And so on.

However, no one knew what the last checkpoint was like.

“Um… Forget what I said..

Hearing this, Ye Xuan quickly shut up.

However, he was overjoyed.

He was definitely going to get the core of the mystic realm!

If the last checkpoint was something like one against a hundred or if it was something like having to deal with a Golden Core expert, he might still be a little weak.

However, if their cultivation levels were the same, he would definitely be invincible!

“Yuning, go and give it a try tomorrow. There might be hope.” Su Rong looked at Xia Yuning and said with a smile, “Because everyone’s trial is actually different, and it’s a separate trial, so the number of people doesn’t matter. It mainly depends on individual combat strength.”

“Individual combat strength?”

“Isn’t there a big guy at Level 8 of the Foundation Establishment Realm in the

Ten Thousand Star Kingdom?” “Even he couldn’t pass?”

Ye Xuan blinked and asked curiously.

That big guy was obviously from the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect.

The Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect was a physical cultivation sect with strong endurance. Furthermore, he was even at Level 8 of the Foundation

Establishment Realm and was countless times stronger than those at Level 7. “Hehe-” Su Rong covered her mouth and laughed. She asked, “That guy is indeed strong, but his opponent is also at Level 8 of the Foundation Establishment Realm. What do you think?”

“Alright…” Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly and then asked, “Senior Sister, I want to try tomorrow too. Are there any extra spots?”

“You?”

Su Rong opened her mouth in confusion.

Although she did not know when Ye Xuan had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, judging from the aura emitted by Ye Xuan, he was only at Level 1 of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Although he could teleport away at any time, there was still a certain level of danger and he would be injured.

“Senior Sister, let Junior Brother give it a try. Or you can give him my spot.”

Before Ye Xuan could say anything, Xia Yuning spoke, wanting to give up the opportunity.

Although they did not know the rules, with the four major sects together, their Ten Thousand Flower Sect at least had the right to decide on a spot.

“Yuning, do you trust Little Xuan so much??”

Su Rong was a little surprised.

‘Yes!”

Xia Yuning nodded seriously.

Ye Xuan was at the Earth Dao Foundation Establishment Realm and was definitely very powerful among those of the same level.

The matter of the Earth Dao Foundation Establishment Realm was very important, so she could not say it here.

Otherwise, if the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Star Kingdom found out by accident, Ye Xuan might be in danger.

“Alright, alright.”

“Then I’ll go and discuss it with them. I should be able to get two spots.”

Su Rong smiled helplessly.

“Really?!”

“Thank you, Senior Sister!”

Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning were very happy.

Xia Yuning was happy because Ye Xuan could go in with her.

Ye Xuan was happy because… Damn it, he could finally get out!!!

Ye Xuan swore that he would clear that checkpoint no matter what price he had to pay this time.

Otherwise, he would be trapped here.

If he was trapped here for a year, his wife and concubines would be widowed for a year. Then, he would lose at least a thousand years of cultivation and lifespan.

Including the 10% interest on the loan…

This was something he could not accept!

Therefore, this time, no matter what method he used, no matter what price he had to pay, he had to succeed!

Su Rong left for a while and soon returned.

Of course, she also brought good news.

“Alright, we have two spots.” Su Rong said with a smile.

“Senior Sister is so awesome!”

Ye Xuan chuckled.

“There’s no such thing as being awesome or not…” Su Rong rolled her eyes and smiled.

“We’ve discovered this place for a long time now. Most of the people from the four major sects have gone in but they’ve all failed.”

“Now, the quota every day is actually for those independent cultivators to give it a try.”

“However, since Junior Brother wants to enter earlier, then I’ll naturally give this spot to you first- I‘

Su Rong looked at Ye Xuan with a smile. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

Ever since Ye Xuan left the mountain and entered the mortal world, she had not seen Ye Xuan again.

Unexpectedly, when she saw Ye Xuan again, he had already reached the

Foundation Establishment Realm and was even younger.

She wondered which junior sister would benefit in the future…

“I see-

Ye Xuan nodded.

It was really blissful to have such a big sister in the team. She was outstanding and capable!

Soon, it was nighttime.

The Ten Thousand Flower Sect also had its own base.

The camps of the Thousand Moon Kingdom and the Ten Thousand Star Kingdom looked very close from afar, but when one looked closer, one would realize that the two sides were more than 200 meters apart.

This Black Tower for trials was really too huge.

Even if there were more than a thousand cultivators present, they were still so insignificant in front of the Trial Tower.

Late at night.

Ye Xuan sneaked into Xia Yuning’s tent.

Xia Yuning was shocked when she saw someone come in.

However, when she saw that it was Ye Xuan, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“What are you doing? You gave me a fright…’

Xia Yuning patted her chest and pouted in dissatisfaction.

She was already very tired, and she had to be bullied by Ye Xuan at night…

“Isn’t it too boring to sleep alone? It’s more comfortable to sleep hugging Senior Sister in my arms-” Ye Xuan smiled teasingly.

“Just hugging? “Yes, just hugging-” “I don’t believe you…”

“It’s true-I‘

“Alright then…”
