Chapter 42: The Front Temple Test

  Xiao Ji heard what the old man said and strode forward, stepping into the front hall of the Snake Sect.

  Just as he stepped in, a vast inner hall appeared before Xiao Ji's eyes, with a width of over 10,000 feet. More than 100 demon tribesmen at the Divine Ability realm were gathered in the center of the inner hall. On the periphery of the inner hall, there were four stone platforms standing in the four directions, surrounding the demon tribesmen in the center.

  In front of Xiao Ji, there was a desk. Behind the desk sat a man holding a brush in his hand and sitting on a purple lacquered rosewood coral chair.

  "Your name, birthplace, and cultivation realm." The man asked without even looking at Xiao Ji.

  "Xiao Ji, seabed domain, divine communication once again." Xiao Ji replied in the same tone, simple and clear.

  "Huh?" The man looked up at Xiao Ji with a hint of surprise.

  "Interesting guy, hope you can pass the test. Alright, you may enter." The man smiled slightly and nodded at Xiao Ji.

  "Next!" The old man at the door, though expressionless and with his eyes still closed, seemed to have seen everything, and continued to shout.

  Proceeding forward, Xiao Ji joined the ranks of hundreds of demon clans in the realm of gods. In front of the demons was a middle-aged man with an extremely rough appearance and eyes that revealed a fierce glow.

  "To become a member of the inner sect disciples of our Snake Sect, one must have excellent spirit and energy, as well as some innate talent for cultivation. Otherwise, we will not accept you. In this inner hall, there are four stone pedestals that can detect your cultivation, physique, willpower, and lifespan. Only after passing the detection can you become an inner sect disciple of our Snake Sect."

  That tall man stood high and looked down at these demonic tribes in the realm of divine power.

  "In the annual inner sect disciple recruitment, only twenty to thirty people can pass the test and become disciples of the Snake Sect. This means that those of you who are above the 9th layer will be eliminated. Every year, among the eliminated ones above the 9th layer, three-tenths will die directly, and five-tenths will go mad. You should think carefully, once you enter the test, there is no turning back. Leaving now is still possible."

  The robust and majestic Da Han smiled at the hundreds of divine and demonic creatures below, but his smile looked incredibly cruel.

  Below, the countless demon tribes heard the Great Han say this and hesitated for a moment. After all, being able to cultivate to the realm of divine comprehension, these demon tribes were not without great opportunities and numerous hardships. Those who could cultivate to such a realm were all extremely precious about their own lives and did not want to take risks.

  Only a few minutes after Da Han's words came out, dozens of demon masters voluntarily gave up and left the inner hall.

  After all the demon clans who signed up for the Divine Realm boundary had gathered, the big man nodded and narrowed his eyes: "Hmm, as usual, most demons are willing to stay. Alright, the test can officially begin."

  That's right, although the demons of the Divine Realm all cherish their lives extremely, those who can cultivate to this realm, which one has not gone through multiple life and death experiences. Their wills are all unshakeable and unwavering.

  "On the first stone pedestal, there is a magical artifact that can reveal one's lifespan. Standing in front of it will show you how much life you have left. If it appears red, it means your lifespan is short and you will be eliminated immediately! If it appears blue, it means your lifespan has passed its midpoint. Such demons have two options: 1) Leave the testing point and give up on entering the Snake Clan; or 2) Continue with the test, but the difficulty level will increase by a factor of one hundred! However, I advise those who see a blue glow to abandon their attempt, as the remaining tests are likely to be impossible for you to pass. Of course, if the artifact glows green, it means your lifespan is still long and you have passed this test, allowing you to proceed with the next one."

  The Great Han explained to the various demons for a while, then said:

  "Alright, I've finished introducing, now let's start testing. First up, Shen Tong Yi Zhong Hei Wen!"

  As soon as the words fell, a muscular black-clad man from the demon group stood in front of the giant stone statue that looked like a huge copper coin.

  Suddenly, a bright red light burst forth from the center of that copper coin-like stone carving, and dyed the body of that demon named Heiwen entirely crimson.

  "First black stripe, eliminated!"

  The rough and majestic Han uttered a voice without expression, not caring about the angry and resentful look on Heiwen's face, because absolutely no demon dared to be rampant in the Snake Sect.

  That black-striped snake, though unwilling, still did not dare to do anything, and could only leave with a sullen expression.

  "Next, Mo Dou!"

  Until the time of Xiao Ji, only about a hundred demons had passed through. Among them, only more than ten could emit green light, and those dozen or so were all long-lived snake-like creatures.

  "Next up, Xiao Ji!"

  "Isn't this guy the demon who fought with Lord Akahori earlier? I wonder how long he'll live."

  "However, Shen Tong was able to defeat Chi Feng, the young master of the second peak of Shen Tong, with just one move, and he is also an invincible existence among the inner door disciples. This kind of guy must have been cultivating for a long time, and it's definitely not easy to pass this life test."

  "Is this guy of a long-lived race?"

  "It's hard to say, there are countless species of snakes, who can fully understand them?"

  "Look, he's gone up!"

  In an instant, a mighty vitality as if enveloping all things in emerald green burst forth from the center of that copper coin-like carved stone, emitting an exceptionally dense aura of life!

  "What? A snake species with such a long lifespan!" At this moment, not to mention the hundred or so divine spirit demon tribes who were shocked into speechlessness, but even the rough and wild big man on the stone platform couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

  "Great! Your name is Xiao Ji? You passed the test!"

  Roughly translated to English:

  "Coarse mine Dah Han now looks at Xiao Ji with a different eye, it's possible that someone who can live for so long is the descendant of a powerful existence, possessing unparalleled excellent bloodline!"

  The five demon clans lined up after Xiaoji, but only one of them passed the test, and the rest were all eliminated!

  Over a hundred powerful demon clansmen, at this moment, looked towards Xiao Ji's eyes with a hint of fear. Anyone who could have such terrifying cultivation and live for so long, almost like a demonic prodigy, would not be feared by anyone.

  "Hmm, you were able to pass the first round, which shows that your qualifications are indeed quite good, but the real challenge lies in the tests that follow."

  "In the next stage, your willpower will be tested. On the second stone platform, there are countless heavenly demons, all of whom have reached the first level of divine transformation. You must protect your own mind and not let the heavenly demons take control under their invasion! If your will is not strong enough to resist, you will be controlled by the heavenly demons, and this stage will show no mercy, striking you down on the spot to prevent you from losing your divine consciousness and going berserk!"

  The boorish Great Han spoke thus, with a fierce and cruel glint in his eyes, causing the countless divine spirits and demonic tribes below to not dare breathe loudly!

  Heavenly Devil! That is the demon head from outside the domain, when the cultivator breaks through, the intention is weak, and it takes advantage of the emptiness to enter, which can cause the cultivator to go crazy! Especially the demon tribe, with a violent and bloody aura, their power is ten times that of humans. Once they face the breakthrough boundary, the probability of going crazy is several times that of humans! And these are just the demon tribes in the divine realm facing this heavenly devil, they are even more frightened, they absolutely did not think that the test of will was actually this heavenly devil! The ones who were tested by the blue light earlier are even more terrified, they have to bear a trial that is one level stronger than the previous demon tribe!
