entrance in the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s check it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can’t just wait here for ten days!” he thought, unwilling to stay idle, and decided to give it a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, where are you going?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not seriously heading to the western entrance, are you?” a disciple shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan didn’t look back but waved his hand, bidding farewell to the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s really going there, he’s crazy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeking death, no one has ever come back alive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, maybe he’s just putting on a show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bet when he really gets there, he’ll be so scared that his legs will tremble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many disciples snickered, ready to laugh at Lin Xuan’s misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan ignored the thoughts of others; he arrived at the western entrance and observed it with the Lord of Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, there was a square entrance with no sealing power around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan activated his Purple Spirit Eyes and saw that it was pitch-black inside, impossible to see through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is not as simple as it appears on the surface; it is maintained by an array,” Lord of Wine said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It should be a path of testing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A path of testing?” Lin Xuan frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s true, why have so many vanished?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It indeed is a path of testing, and the fate of those who fail is death,” replied Lord of Wine with a solemn voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether to enter or not is entirely up to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate at all, his eyes firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see how tough this path of testing is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan walked into the western entrance…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood-colored Forest, bat cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the vast cave, the body of the Bat King was split in two, lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood and entrails were scattered everywhere, filling the air with a pungent smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples from the Purple Mist Sect searched the cave thoroughly, sparing no corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they found nothing useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zixia Fairy and others looked forward reverently at the figure ahead, patiently waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that there’s nothing here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the prediction be wrong?” the figure murmured, sweeping her Qiushui-like eyes again before sighing softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many more forbidden lands are there like this?” the mysterious woman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s another Mysterious Valley, and no one has ever entered it,” Zixia Fairy said respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is said that inside the Blood-colored Heavenly Palace, there is also a mysterious secret realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can perform the Prediction Technique one more time,” the mysterious woman took out a turtle shell and continuously emitted Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the turtle shell displayed a blood-red shadow hovering midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This must be the Blood-colored Heavenly Palace,” the mysterious woman put away the turtle shell and said calmly, “Let’s go to the Blood-colored Heavenly Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of the Purple Mist Sect showed a hint of excitement and eagerly turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a chilling laugh echoed through the passage, causing their scalps to tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe, thinking of leaving?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might not be that easy!” Several black figures blocked their way, with black mist swirling around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make way quickly!” Zixia Fairy exclaimed sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five black figures remained motionless, one of them dispersing the black mist into countless black snakes that burrowed into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, that person opened his eyes, his voice cold: “We didn’t find what we were looking for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foremost Black Robed Man focused his gaze on the disciples of the Purple Mist Sect: “Hand over what you have obtained, otherwise we’ll leave you with no corpse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re also looking for something,” the mysterious woman frowned slightly, “Could it be that the information leaked?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems you know,” the leader in the Black Robe rasped, “Hand over the items, and we’ll leave your full corpse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he started to swirl with black mist, condensing a ferocious Demon Beast above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Netherworld Death Qi?” The mysterious woman was slightly stunned, then scoffed, “I didn’t expect you to have resurged from the ashes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I wonder how many of the people from back then are still left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious woman’s words startled the five black-robed men, while the disciples of the Purple Mist Sect looked completely puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them all and bring them back!” the leader of the black-robed men commanded with cruelty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, black mist filled the air, enveloping the entire cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Floating Light Shadow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious woman’s figure danced, as graceful as a startled swan, a translucent shadow burst forth, dispersing the black fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She is not from Xia Country, form the array to deal with her!” the leader of the black-robed men exclaimed in alarm, hastily shouting orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five streams of black Qi flew from the bodies of the black-robed men, merging in the air to form the Five-pointed Star Formation, encircling everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Fifth Netherworld Formation, activate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Qi surged, morphing into a gigantic beast’s claw, endless Evil Qi permeated, filling the entire space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious woman frowned and said hatefully, “Were it not for this damned space suppressing my cultivation, it would never be your turn to act recklessly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, rays of dawn light burst forth from her body, meeting the black scaled claw…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps echoed around, creating overlapping sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s body radiated light, barely illuminating the path beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever he passed, the darkness receded like a tide, violently engulfing him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan did not know how long he had walked, feeling as if there was no end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sound, no other presence, just his heartbeat and the continual echo of his footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It continued endlessly, on and on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Illusion Array?” He stopped walking, orange light flickering in his eyes, like two Divine Lights slicing through the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, a light emerged, vague and unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan stepped forward, heading toward that light gate, but after a while, he realized that the gate had shifted direction, appearing again to his left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his direction, but the gate always appeared beside him, as if he had never been on the correct path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan laughed to himself, aware that he had fallen into an illusion array, but what of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The path I walk, even if darkness lies ahead, I will use the sword in my hands to carve out a swath of light!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Intent Seed within him trembled, a golden giant sword phantom appeared behind him, towering into the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vague light gate disappeared, and Lin Xuan released a sword light from within his body, cleaving the void apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a mirror had shattered, the endless darkness turned into countless fragments, disappearing into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery around him changed dramatically, pink curtains fell, the air filled with a rich floral fragrance and a faint body scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A graceful figure was faintly visible, a face of unparalleled Qingcheng beauty, devilish Linglong figure—this was a cave of beauties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it been anyone else, they would probably be overwhelmed with excitement, but Lin Xuan remained expressionless, the orange light in his pupils flickering with a hint of red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was resolute, his demeanor calm, and he walked straight past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the pink turned to skulls, fading into oblivion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have come, you finally arrived!” The scenery changed again, and a figure appeared ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure ahead was blurred as if obscured by a mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan walked forward, finally able to see the other’s face clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young, handsome, with fluttering black hair, his eyes filled with confidence, looking like another himself standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person identical to him, standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1297,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","ba6153724f847235a7754713d05451e96245aa7dc888dae572456c136da4a4a9","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-124","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-122",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
