Xia Feng distinctly felt traces of the Great Dao of Space-Time within the rifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike the Infinite Secret Realm, which was predominantly time-based, this scene change in the Holy Sword Pavilion clearly prioritized space, as if they were suddenly teleported to another place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though physically imperceptible, the surrounding environment seemed to have shifted places through Body Shifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold atmosphere emanated from all directions; the previous Central Plaza had somehow transformed into a valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prodigies at the back looked at the dark valley, where chilling winds blew, and their expressions became more cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Li Qingyu appeared confident, subconsciously touching the jade bracelet on her right wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng, sharp-eyed, noticed her action, slightly raising an eyebrow but not revealing her secret, instead waiting for the Holy Sword Elder in mid-air to continue explaining this transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still felt something was off, pondering for a while before realizing the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, teleportation involves moving people to other spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today’s teleportation hadn’t moved the people; rather, this valley had been transported here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming and Xia Feng exchanged a glance, clearly both noticing the difference, their expressions turning puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never considered teleporting an entire scene, but mastering its principles might add many attack methods when using the Great Dao of Space in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had a glint of eagerness in their eyes but knew that listening to the second test of the inheritance was the priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Sword Elder in mid-air surveyed the inheritors below, slightly curling his lips in a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second test is simple: just pass through this Evil Sword Valley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the words fell, no one below dared to be the first to enter the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Sword Elder’s smile widened, and he continued, \"Very cautious, that’s good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his words, the entire Evil Sword Valley seemed to come alive; its somewhat gloomy insides now appeared pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chill winds carried streaks of black evil energy but were confined at the valley entrance, unable to rush towards everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, a few timid prodigies at the back couldn’t help but retreat a few steps, their expressions becoming fearful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Sword Elder then explained, \"The Evil Sword Valley is named so because of the numerous Evil Sword Spirits inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those with weak willpower or insufficient strength who enter the valley are easily devoured by Evil Sword Spirits, their bodies occupied, turning into Sword Demons that know only slaughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Sword Elder wore a slightly amused expression, speaking with a hint of jest, \"The second test hasn’t formally started; if anyone is afraid, they can leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you choose to leave now, I can send you out of the Secret Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you don’t wish to exit and plan to enter the Evil Sword Valley, then your life and death will follow the Celestial Mandate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng and the others naturally wouldn’t retreat here, but the prodigies behind whispered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had entered the Secret Realm aiming for the Holy Sword Secret Realm’s inheritance, so they wouldn’t leave first due to minor danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the few prodigies initially frightened by the Evil Sword Valley scene now gritted their teeth and stood at the back of the group without saying they would leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Sword Elder glanced around at everyone, \"Fortunately, no one actually wants to leave...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prodigies felt a jolt in their hearts, hearing the Holy Sword Elder’s implied meaning; he obviously never intended to send anyone out of the Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who failed the first test, purportedly sent out of the Secret Realm, remained uncertain if they truly left, unbeknownst to those present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Li Qingyu’s expression grew somber, becoming much more cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Sword Elder couldn’t be bothered to speak further, his eyes flashing with golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I wish you luck. I’ll be waiting on the other side of the Evil Sword Valley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Holy Sword Elder leave, the prodigies’ minds became more active; Li Qingyu called on her followers and charged into the Evil Sword Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered, the black evil energy within the chilly winds surged at them, seemingly eager to swallow them whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Xia Feng was startled, but Li Qingyu touched the jade bracelet on her right wrist again, and a faint green light enveloped her entire team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black evil energy seemed to lose its target instantly, flitting around the team, yet with no intention of attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingyu smugly glanced back at Xia Feng outside the valley, intentionally raising her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wait and see; the first test was about who could last the longest, but the second test is surely about speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t let you take the best reward this time either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she led her team swiftly into the valley’s depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue looked anxious; that item was evidently given to Li Qingyu by the Celestial Sword Divine King but hadn’t mentioned anything about it to Li Qingxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quietly urged, \"Husband, should we follow them in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Li Qingyu’s group leading the way, many people had already joined the team and entered the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng stood still, turned to check on Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming, and shook his head saying, \"Let’s rest for a while first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maintain the best condition, then enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recent Sword Intent Body had immensely benefited everyone, enhancing their understanding of the Sword Dao by more than tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng worried that entering now, their lack of mastery over their power could easily be exploited by Evil Sword Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t know what Evil Sword Spirits were, the name sounded ominous, and it was better to be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue nodded, sitting cross-legged and began to adjust their breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-05T22:57:42.810Z",1,"novelbin.me","540cd4f9ad2391e11e30705f30379491fa4b30ad72113652730748113f58ea79","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-479","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-477",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
