275. Chapter 272: Tea Egg from the Underworld? The Most Difficult Mental Trial for Xixi【Seek Monthly Ticket】

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, countless erupting divine essences intertwined between heaven and earth, a fierce wind rose, chaotic winds howled.

It sounded as if robes were rustling loudly, the noise echoing without cease.

Xixi's purple aura divine nature poured down like a waterfall, she didn't worry at all about the neutralizing effect of the White Jade Stairs; after surpassing Gongshu Wenti, she became ever more urgent and pressing.

She urgently wanted to eat the little snack the boss had given her.

She just wanted to quickly climb to the top of the White Jade Stairs, without anyone disturbing her meal.

Such a situation, like being disturbed by that purple-haired youth, would not happen again.

"Tea egg!"

After Xixi crushed the white Flying Thunder chess piece, the item the boss had entrusted Li Che to deliver to Xixi appeared in her chubby palm.

Xixi grabbed the tea egg, as big as her fist, and her big eyes couldn't help but flash with a glimmer.

Xixi was overjoyed!

Just smelling the fragrance emanating from the tea egg made Xixi feel saliva uncontrollably flowing out.

It was a very unique fragrance, containing rich tea aroma and an egg scent brewed to perfection!

The eggshell was covered in cracks, allowing the tea-infused juice to fully blend into the ingredients.

Xixi's chubby fingers began to pick at the eggshell.

She didn't notice that the peeled eggshell, upon falling to the ground, slowly dissolved, turning into slipping sand between the fingers.

Her eyes stared straight at the tea egg, as if gazing at the world itself.

Exactly……

That's how a foodie's world is.

Very pure.

No sand can be tolerated in the eyes.

The tea egg, peeled of its shell, looked like an exquisite piece of porcelain, its surface covered with the cracks from the shattered shell, the cracks spreading like ink lines brushed by a watercolor artist with a wolf-hair brush.

Truly beautiful……

Xixi opened her mouth wide with satisfaction and took a bite.

Then, Xixi felt a scorching gaze.

She lifted her head.

A gentle breeze stirred, the smoke wafting softly.

It was as if someone had stepped out of myth, standing before her, white hair, white beard, white robes fluttering, bending forward, making eye contact with Xixi, who was crouched on the ground having taken a bite of the tea egg.

One large, one small gaze, as if crossing time and space, collided unexpectedly.

Xixi's eyes were full of lively sparkle.

The patriarch of the Qianyuan Divine Sect, the divine condor, seemed to come alive, a smile playing on his face.

He looked at Xixi with full appreciation and indulgence.

He was astonished by Xixi's talent.

That purple aura divine nature, hanging down like a waterfall, was simply unprecedented, even if it were that little Tai Bai……

could not reach such talent!

Martial way, divine nature, divine weapons, divine talismans, divine condor, divine pills……

Exactly.

This tea egg was cooked with an enormous amount of medicinal herbs together with tea leaves, perfectly blending the medicinal properties into the egg, and can be called medicinal cuisine.

Compared to ordinary divine pills, it possesses far greater medicinal potency!

Xixi's talent in divine pills was almost instantly compensated for, and this tea egg moreover contains Dao profundity……

The six categories of divine nature are all perfected!

Definitely a six-sided freak!

Cheating……

Can one even cheat like this?

The patriarch really opened his eyes!

This little girl……

First in the talent trial!

Beyond doubt!

Whoever dares to question, the patriarch will give them a big slap!

In the patriarch's opened eyes lay appreciation, kindness, and indulgence……

In Xixi's lively big eyes……

There was a hint of panic.

Just like being caught sneaking a bite……

She locked eyes with the patriarch for about three breaths.

Afterward.

Xixi opened her mouth wide.

Ah—woo.

She stuffed all the remaining tea eggs into her mouth, swallowed them in one gulp, her mouth bulging.

"Mou la!"

"Mou you la!"

Xixi covered her mouth and said.

Seemingly...

Afraid the Grandfather Master would snatch the food.

"Hahaha——"

Grandfather Master seeing this, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The light formed from the shattered eggshell, like a gust of wind, lingered around his body.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on Xixi's head; instantly, an invisible white qi wave surged from Grandfather Master's palm, spreading like mist over Xixi's body.

Xixi, while chewing, felt the icy white qi wave washing over her body.

Her eyes blinked, a little curious.

This white qi wave...

How does it taste a bit like the little snacks the boss gave her to eat?

"This is the Dao Yun qi pillar; you are first in the Talent Gate, receiving a Dao Yun qi pillar nine chi..."

"Second in the Talent Gate yields a three-chi Dao Yun qi pillar; third yields one chi; after that, no Dao Yun qi pillar."

"After the three gates are over, the height of the Dao Yun qi pillar determines the final result..."

"The one with the highest Dao Yun qi pillar can obtain the Dao Yun gift; the rest's Dao Yun will be returned to the Minor Cave Heaven."

Grandfather Master rubbed Xixi's head and said.

His voice was not only speaking to Xixi.

It seemed to merge into the wind, following the white jade steps like a dragon's spine, spreading and falling, transmitting to the ears of all the divine children who stepped on the white jade steps.

Xixi heard this, her eyes instantly lit up.

With a gurgling sound, she swallowed the tea egg into her stomach; her eyes brightened, she wiped her mouth, and stared at Grandfather Master.

"Grandfather Grandpa, what is Dao Yun? Can it be eaten?"

Xixi asked seriously.

Grandfather Master hearing this, burst into laughter; the entire Minor Cave Heaven seemed to tremble slightly.

He did not answer Xixi's words.

Grandfather Master's divine condor re-solidified, robes fluttering, gazing into the distance.

Xixi scratched her head, feeling a bit regretful.

However, Xixi turned and walked to the top of the white jade steps.

Hands on hips, sticking out her little belly.

In this situation, Xixi couldn't help but want to laugh loudly to the heavens.

Looking at the many divine children beneath her, Xixi felt she had overwhelming heroic spirit, capable of sweeping aside all divine children!

At this moment, Xixi finally felt like becoming Xixi the Great Emperor!

Buzz—

His eyes dim, surpassed by five-year-old Xixi, he sees Gongshu Wentian's purple qi divine pillar like a waterfall; his heart... is in turmoil.

Between breaking and not breaking, he wavers and struggles.

His body stands on the white jade steps, swaying as if about to fall.

After swaying a while, he was enveloped by the Dao Yun radiance; the Dao Yun qi pillar reached three chi, giving Gongshu Wentian comfort and hope.

"Not yet finished... the intimate transmission examination still has two gates: the Mind-Heart Gate and the Temple-Guarding Gate! The first gate is the Talent Gate; I merely lost narrowly."

Gongshu Wentian lingered on the edge between broken and unbroken of his Dao heart; instantly it coalesced.

He hasn't lost yet.

The Dao heart must not break too early!

Third place is Xuan Yue; Xuan Yue happily hopped about, accepting a one-chi Dao Yun.

She looked at Xixi standing atop the peak, under the nine-chi Dao Yun qi pillar, like a rising sun bursting with light; her eyes sparkled, as if holding the starry sea when looking at an idol.

"Wow—"

Indeed, to be accepted as a disciple by the Grandmatriarch, this little senior sister is truly amazing!

On the white jade steps.

Jin Tai Sui, knocked back thousands of steps, his purple hair wildly flung in madness, his eyes full of anger.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes somewhat red.

Besides being due to the impact of angry emotion, it's also because Xixi obtained the reward of nine-chi Dao Yun.

"This little girl... this little girl!"

"That Dao Yun should have been mine!"

Jin Tai Sui stood on the white jade steps, letting out a low roar, anger surging.

He had caught up to Xuan Yue, about to surpass her; with himself in second place, at minimum he'd receive the reward of Dao Yun power.

Now...

Gone!

That little brat actually could bring out such a terrifying mechanism, striking him unawares!

Blasting him down thousands of steps, giving him a brutal pit!

"Why should I provoke her?"

Jin Tai Sui's heart suddenly gave rise to this thought, somewhat regretful!

He clenched his fingers around the purple gold bell; the dingling sound seemed to echo his mood, endlessly reverberating.

"The Mind-Heart Gate and the Temple-Guarding Gate..."

This little girl is only five; her temperament definitely hasn't been professionally trained.

Not to mention the Temple Suppression Pass—what battle experience could a five‑year‑old little girl possibly have?

I still have a chance...

If I can win first place in the next two stages, I still have a chance to surpass this little girl!

Jin Tai Sui took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, calming his restless, fluctuating emotions.

He actually has the blood of the Great Witch God flowing through him.

This little girl...

Coming from an ordinary background, how could she possibly surpass him?

…… - no.

…… - no.

Click‑clack——

The torrential rain churned and built up within the leaden clouds high in the sky, then poured down like a barrage of arrows.

Spring thunder rumbled, lightning intertwined and flashed like a vast azure net spread across the heavens.

Before the White Jade Archway.

A silence fell.

After a long silence, cheers suddenly erupted.

That was the area where Li Qingshan and the others were located.

Gong Yuanliang, Gongyang Xiu, Hai Chaosheng, Huang Four Symbols and the others—spirit children who had followed Emperor Xixi all the way from Jin Guangfu to Qianyan Dao City—were thrilled, their faces flushed, shouting their approval.

As the left and right hands of Emperor Xixi, having witnessed him sweep aside and suppress everything, how could they not share in the glory?

Just as the sword qi image, reflected by the Taibai Sect Master, appeared.

When they didn't see Xixi, the left and right hands of Emperor Xixi each grew tense to the point of feeling like the sky was falling.

And now, as Xixi reached the pinnacle, even causing the Ancestor Master God Eagle to open its eyes and bestow a nine‑foot Dao Essence Energy Pillar as a reward.

They each let out a sigh of relief.

They began to cheer and leap with joy!

Besides the cheering children, amidst the heavy rain, many wanderers who had come to join the fun couldn't help but shout their cheers as well.

After all, the conflict between Dàjǐng and Dàlí hasn't been just a day or two.

When the divine children participating in the personal transmission examination of the Dàjǐng Shénzōng Sect Master were suppressed by a divine child from Dàlí, it was nothing less than a harsh slap to the face of Dàjǐng.

The wanderers directly elevated this confrontation to the level of national honor in their hearts.

At the moment each divine child was surpassed, the wanderers fell silent, their hearts turned cold, a deep sense of frustration that not even a torrential spring rain could wash away.

The people of the great clans of Qianyan Dao City also furrowed their brows, their hearts heavy.

Seated in the carriage, the Young Dao Chief Yue Wenzheng furrowed his brows into the shape of three vertical lines; as the Young Dao Chief of Qianyan Dao City, he was a court official appointed by the Dàjǐng court...

How could one stare down a divine child from Dàlí and, with an arrogant and disdainful attitude, trample over the divine children of Dàjǐng?

Even the many elders of the Qianyan Divine Sect couldn't help but break into a sweat upon seeing the situation in the minor cave heaven.

Fortunately...

Emperor Xixi emerged out of nowhere!

"Emperor Xixi? Elder Li, your daughter... truly bears the aura of an emperor."

Second Elder Zhao Fangzhou sat in the master's chair, watching Xixi receive the Dao Essence Energy Pillar bestowed by the Ancestor Master, his expression easing involuntarily as he couldn't help but make a teasing remark.

Li Che's dark robe fluttered as he gave a gentle smile: "What emperor... this little girl is just playing around."

On the elders' seats, the many elders relaxed, and the atmosphere grew much lighter.

"For Xixi's talent to catch the Ancestor Master's eye would be difficult... It seems the Sect Master's wife must have left her a trump card."

Fourth Elder Ji Heshan spoke up.

He too couldn't help but feel surprised, never expecting Xixi to reach such a height.

Before, he had even wanted to take Xixi under his wing.

Nevertheless, he actually wasn't very optimistic about Xixi's talent, mainly because the backgrounds of Li Che and Zhang Ya were truly too ordinary.

Li Che and Zhang Ya were merely commoners in the small city of Feilei, and their cultivation talent wasn't high.

After all, the cultivation Li Che displayed wasn't particularly strong either, let alone Zhang Ya...

Even though Xixi received the Temple God's inheritance at Jin Guangfu, her talent still struggles to surpass divine children like Gongshu Wentián, Xuan Yue, and Jin Tai Sui from the top‑tier forces of the world.

The Purple Qi Divine Essence Pillars of these three—Gongshu Wentián, Xuan Yue, and Jin Tai Sui—are likely each at the level of ten thousand feet of purple qi.

They even come infinitely close to the height of Purple Qi Reaching the Heavens!

With such talent, if Xixi wants to win, she can only rely on external objects to make up the difference.

Therefore, everyone thought it must be that the Sect Master's wife had learned something in advance from the Sect Master Great God and prepared something good.

Only then could Xixi soar to great heights within the Qiankun Minor Cave Heaven!

Suppressing Jin Tai Sui.

Turn the Qiankun upside down!

"Dao Essence rewards... Although these Dao Essence Energy Pillars should be the Earth Kun Dao Essence within the Ancestor Master's lingering Qiankun Dao Essence, and though they haven't yet truly belonged to these children, even if they are merely a temporary gift from the Ancestor Master, their impact and enhancement on these children are immense."

"Dao Essence will subtly cleanse and transform their divine foundations and primordial spirits."

"At the very least, during this personal transmission examination, obtaining these Dao Essence enhancements will cleanse their divine foundations, making their base more resilient and forging the essence of the divine fetus."

An elder from God Eagle Ridge sighed deeply.

Dao Essence...

That is something only a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator can access; it is the essence condensed by a Divine Tribulation Realm expert after undergoing repeated Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations!

Normally, only those who rank in the top three of the True Transmission Record, the top three of the Outstanding Talent Record, and the top three of the Infant Dragon Record have a chance to gain insight into the 【Heaven and Earth Dao Essence】.

And opportunities like this, where one is directly granted Dao Essence to be added to one's body—receiving a Dao Essence baptism—are basically extremely rare.

After all, each tempering consumes Dao Essence; adding Dao Essence to the body is tantamount to consuming the sect's foundation, so it is naturally something that can be encountered but not sought after.

The sect master truly places great importance on this personal transmission examination.

Such treatment is indeed worthy of that of a junior sect master.

……

The elders exchanged words, their tone carrying a hint of sigh, which also let Li Che understand the importance of this personal transmission examination.

No wonder, when Jīn Tuìsuì at extreme speed surpassed one prodigy after another, approaching Xuányuè and Gōngshū Wèntiān, the faces of many elders would look so grim.

If it really lets Jīn Tuìsuì step on the many prodigies of Dàjǐng and climb to first place……

Then the impact would indeed be quite significant.

Li Che sat on the chair, his dark robe billowing, his gaze lifted and fell upon the picture of intertwining sword qi.

He saw Xixi sitting cross-legged at the peak.

Gōngshū Wèntiān, Xuányuè, Yún'é, Gǔhé, Lǚ Qīngxuán and other prodigies were seated below.

With a figure like a little bean sprout, standing atop the white jade steps, it actually gave off an aura that overwhelmed everything.

Li Che, via the Flying Lightning chess pieces, could clearly sense the Dao Essence energy pillar surging forth from the Forefather's Divine Eagle, now cleansing Xixi's 【Eight-Armed Three-Faced Indestructible Prison Lotus】 Three Pure Divine Foundation within her inner vision of the upper dantian.

Faintly, the divine pattern of the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Indestructible Prison Lotus on the divine foundation became increasingly evident, as if emitting a faint glow.

Tempering away the impurities in the divinity, Xixi's divinity quality and rank continually rose.

It even heightened Xixi's comprehension of this divine art.

Within the Heaven and Earth Minor Cave-Tower, dense and endless divinity began to continually gather and intertwine.

Around Xixi's person, the Dao Essence energy pillar coiled, seeming to transform into a vortex that swirled.

Of course.

At this moment, not only Xixi, but many prodigies seated cross-legged on the white jade steps were also drawing in the divine power of the Heaven and Earth Minor Cave-Tower to rapidly cultivate.

The entire Heaven and Earth Minor Cave-Tower is actually equivalent to a large divine crystal, a high-quality divine crystal, and moreover, formed from the fallen Forefather, it contains the power of Dao Essence.

Dao Essence…… for these little ones, is truly profound and mysterious.

However, they do not need to understand the function of Dao Essence; they only need to know that Dao Essence can help them temper their divine foundation and increase their aptitude, which is enough.

Cultivating inside the minor cave-tower, the speed will increase.

Therefore, at this moment, everyone is immersed in a race-against-time cultivation.

In preparation for the third level, the Temple-Suppression Pass.

Temple-Suppression Pass, as the name suggests…… is a test of combat ability.

Therefore, being able to add a bit of strength within the Heaven and Earth Minor Cave-Tower naturally adds that much.

……

……

The rain pattered softly, the mighty momentum gradually passed, and the scene returned to a fine drizzle like cow hair falling.

Beneath the white jade archway.

Drop after drop of crystal-clear water droplets gathered beneath the archway, like hanging stalactites.

Li Che exhaled a breath.

His heart eased slightly.

First level, with Xixi's hard work unlocking, plus the boss's tea egg help…… she finally succeeded in a reversal, rose to first place, and obtained the reward of the Forefather's nine-foot Dao Essence energy pillar after opening his eyes.

Li Che also racked his brains for his daughter.

In fact……

If not for the aid of the Flying Lightning chess pieces, channeling the power of many Dao fruits, with Xixi's own aptitude, she might not even have been able to squeeze into the top three.

Although Li Che continually used the Pure Heart divinity to cleanse Xixi's flesh and enhance her aptitude.

However, this process is ultimately slow, requiring time's accumulation to gradually manifest.

Therefore, speaking solely of aptitude, Xixi perhaps reached the level of a thousand feet of purple qi, but compared to Gōngshū Wèntiān, Jīn Tuìsuì, and Xuányuè's ten thousand feet of purple qi, and even the aptitude infinitely approaching the level of purple qi reaching the heavens, she still fell short……

However, what the Forefather looks at is the upper limit of aptitude……

Then Li Che naturally would not hold back, being impolite.

Not taking advantage when there is a loophole—what's the difference from a salted fish?

The power of the four Dao fruits—Dragon-Elephant Vajra, Immortal Craft, Pure Heart, and Immortal in the Painting—was fully channeled by Li Che through the Flying Lightning chess pieces as a bridge, transmitted into Xixi's body.

Furthermore, adding the snacks obtained from the boss, and Xixi's own innate mythic armaments, achieved a comprehensive boost to her aptitude.

Reached the level of a perfect six-sided warrior!

According to the rules described by the Forefather, the subsequent Mind-Heart Pass and Temple-Suppression Pass will distribute Dao Essence energy pillar rewards based on performance.

Only the top three can obtain the Dao Essence energy pillar reward; starting from fourth place…… they receive no reward.

The difficulty is actually not small; although Xixi won first place in the first level, she still has the Mind-Heart Pass and the Temple-Suppression Pass ahead.

"Mind-Heart Pass……"

Li Che muttered a sentence, his brows involuntarily knitting, showing a hint of worry.

Mind-Heart Pass……

For Xixi, this is indeed the greatest trial.

As for the final Temple-Suppression Pass, Li Che is completely unconcerned; Xixi, clad in divine gear, entering the Temple-Suppression Pass is practically like entering her home field.

But for Xixi, the Mind-Heart Pass is actually the most difficult.

One just doesn't know what the Mind-Heart Pass will test.

Li Che couldn't help but look up at Lü Taibai, who was seated in the Sect Master's position.

Lü Taibai's silver hair flew as his fingers lightly tapped the chair's armrest.

It seemed to sense Li Che's gaze, its gaze shifting over, and within its eyes, endless sword light seemed to spin and change.

Extremely blinding.

Lü Taibai smiled gently and nodded.

Li Che was startled, and also nodded in response.

Lü Taibai rose to his feet, and in an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon him.

With hands behind his back, his white robe and silver hair fluttered together as Lü Taibai exhaled, his breath like a sword.

The sword light spun, and immediately echoed within the Qiankun small space.

Two hours later, the heart-nature pass examination will begin.

All the prodigies seated cross-legged on the white jade steps opened their eyes.

Each of their eyes showed a strange color.

At the same time.

Light flowed, and in the Qiankun Small Cave Heaven, the prodigies ten steps down the white jade stairs all felt flickering light before them, sword qi swirling around their bodies, and they were sent out of the small cave heaven.

They appeared on the white jade plaza.

In a moment, each felt a myriad of emotions in their hearts, utterly lost.

They knew that, having been eliminated in the first round of the examination, they no longer had the qualification to participate in the subsequent rounds.

One by one, they returned, dazed and dispirited, to the plaza area.

They considered themselves prodigies, with extraordinary talent, the kind of prodigies praised throughout the prefectural cities and clans, yet in this examination they could not even get a footing.

They truly saw what is meant by "there are always people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens."

……

……

Qianyuan Dao City.

Octagonal Multi-eaved Dripping Water Imperial Observatory Treasure Tower.

The spring rain drizzled, gathering on the black-tiled eaves into threads like silk.

Inspector Hong Shifo watched the gloom gradually dissipate, the rain weakening in the sky, and gave a light smile.

In the hall, Dao Lord Yue Huanglong, sitting opposite the chessboard, narrowed his eyes; regarding the situation of this first round, the talent-pass examination, he was genuinely somewhat surprised.

The Golden Tai Sui of the Great Li Great Wu Divine bloodline appeared, and he was very surprised.

Yue Linghu nearly came in last, and he too was surprised.

Li Nuanxi actually managed to come from behind, surpassing Golden Tai Sui to take first place, obtaining a Nine-foot Dao Essence Qi Pillar attached to her person, which surprised him even more.

"It seems... Xuan Qisha gave this talisman disciple of hers quite a few good things."

Yue Huanglong narrowed his eyes, his smile fading somewhat.

Inspector Hong Shifo glanced at Yue Huanglong and shook his head: "No, quite the opposite—Xuan Qisha didn't give this little girl any good things; Lü Taibai wouldn't allow it... Moreover, Xuan Qisha specializes in attack talismans; what good talisman could he possibly produce for enhancing talent?"

On Yue Huanglong's simple, honest face appeared a smile: "Could it be... that this little girl really, with her utterly unremarkable bloodline talent, surpassed Gong Shu Wentian, Xuan Yue, and Golden Tai Sui—those geniuses with ten‑foot purple‑qi divine talent?"

The Inspector shook his head.

"I don't believe it."

"But... I have no evidence."

"Since there is no evidence, I cannot help but not believe..."

"What kind of good thing do you think could make your grandson Yue Linghu's talent surpass Xuan Yue, Gong Shu Wentian, and Golden Tai Sui?"

The smile on Yue Huanglong's face vanished instantly.

"Don't ask such a heart‑wrenching question, okay?"

"That tea egg... did you notice it?"

Hong Shifo placed both hands on the railing and spoke softly.

"I suspect that within Dao City there hides a Divine Fetus Great God who has never been recorded by the Grand Inspector."

"Lü Taibai is seeking him, I am seeking him, and the Pavilion Master of the Hunter God Pavilion is also seeking him..."

"But none can find him."

"As mysterious as the Underworld, perhaps this person is the Founder of the Underworld and its greatest source of strength."

On Yue Huanglong's face, trembling with fat, a comical smile instantly appeared.

"You mean that Divine Fetus Great God boiled a tea egg, and that let this little girl's talent surpass Gong Shu Wentian, Xuan Yue, and Golden Tai Sui—those geniuses whose blood flows with divine blood?"

However, Hong Shifo looked at him lightly: "You cultivate martial arts; it's normal that you can't sense it. Though your heaven‑human induction is not bad, it still falls short of the Divine Fetus's heaven‑earth soul..."

Yue Huanglong gradually stopped smiling.

The fat on his face twitched, he narrowed his eyes, and muttered.

"One tea egg"

……

……

What exactly does the heart‑nature examination test?

How can one test the heart‑nature of a five‑year‑old child?

The heart‑nature examination... is to use divine power to delineate a created illusory scene, to test what choices one will make when faced with different circumstances.

The Grand Elder of Divine Eagle Ridge, Tang Xiejia, seemed to see Li Che's anxiety, and explained to him in a sentence.

Actually, this round, said to test heart‑nature, ought rather to be called basic nature.

A person's most fundamental nature.

This original heart, what is it, varies from person to person, it can be toward the Dao, it can be protection, it can be slaughter...

As for the specific method of examination, it is currently unknown; each examination is different, and what kind of trial the sect master has set this time, no one can know.

Tang Xiejia said.

Li Che nodded, clasped his fists and thanked Tang Xiejia for dispelling his doubts.

Sitting in the chair, Li Che no longer worried.

Because, worrying is useless, this mental nature trial... he seems unable to help Xixi much.

If we say...

The first gate, the talent gate, has no restrictions on rules, no restrictions on means.

The second gate, the mental nature gate, has cut off all assisting means.

This gate, for Xixi, is not very friendly.

A five-year-old child, at the age of breaking free, with an undetermined nature, to hold fast to one's original heart—how easy is that?

So even if Xixi fails to achieve a good ranking in this gate, Li Che doesn't mind.

In the third gate, the Temple-Suppressing Gate, just pull back the Dao Yun Scale and it will be fine.

When——!!!

The ancient divine bell was struck, the vast and intangible bell waves surged forth from the mountain range lying prone deep within Dao City.

The bell waves spread out.

Under the white jade archway.

Jiao Shaqiu's ancient-style long robe, wind-filled pouch bulging, wide sleeves fluttering.

"An hour has arrived."

"The mental nature examination begins!"

"Please, Sect Master, set the question."
