Through those memories, Shen Xiang learned that there was only one Creation Fruit in the Divine Martial Temple's herb garden. It was on a dead tree that had not been picked yet. In the herb garden, there were also some True Elemental Pills of the five elements and Foundation Building Pills, as well as precious herbs like White Jade Lotus (two), Returning Grass (two), and many other spirit medicines used to refine Xuan-grade middle-class and superior pills, making it a treasure trove.

This made his mouth water. He longed to immediately loot the place, but he knew better than to try because there were several Golden Immortal cultivators guarding it. If they discovered him, he would be done for.

The Sovereign Continent was protected by a huge natural barrier, which is why it had not been attacked during the three realms war back in the day. Many precious herbs and martial arts could still be preserved up until now, showing how rich its heritage was. It was truly deserving of being called the most powerful continent in the mortal world.

Three days' rest came to an end, and Shen Xiang was among the top twenty, qualifying for the next round. No one knew what this round would entail other than waiting by the mountain. King Yan did not show up, and it was Elder Ding who presided over it. Everyone could tell that King Yan wasn't in the best spirits to reappear before all the stronger cultivators, and they would demand an apology. His hiding was the best course of action.

“This is the last round’s preliminary test. The top four performers in this round will engage each other in combat to determine the winner, who will receive a reward,” said Elder Ding from Divine Martial Temple.

Scanning the other cultivators, Shen Xiang noticed that a few were King Yan's disciples. They all walked tall and proud, but their true strength was commendable, otherwise they wouldn't have reached this point.

“This round is quite unique, and there might also be certain dangers. In this round, we will send you to a realm holding evil demons, called the Realm of Evil Demon. This realm has been holding these evil demons for many years under the protection of our stronger cultivators from the Sovereign Continent. There are numerous evil demons here, with the strongest probably being at the peak of Extreme Realm, none of them possessing any Golden Immortal strength. This is how we test our understanding of these things,” said Elder Ding.

When Shen Xiang learned about the extreme danger of this round, their expressions varied. Some were worried, others were full of excitement, but Shen Xiang remained calm. If they were indeed in a realm, he wasn't afraid; his confidence in hiding was very strong.

“Inside, there is an evil demon at the Extreme Realm level. Each of them has a Demon Heart inside their body, which usually contains pure energy that resembles our dantian's energy clusters. They store large amounts of refined true qi and vital essence, making them very useful! After entering, you must find these evil demons and kill them. Rankings will be based on the number of Demon Hearts obtained,” said Elder Ding.

Silently, Shen Xiang nodded. This was reasonable; the Demon Hearts also had him intrigued because they contained energy from the Extreme Realm, best used for setting up formations or forging tools. The vital essence inside could also be extracted and made into pills, enhancing the healing properties of the pills when infused during the process.

“Elder Ding, can conflicts happen inside” asked Bluemoon.

“Yes, but I believe everyone understands that conflicts can cause nothing but time waste and are not beneficial. However, sometimes combat may be necessary to resolve issues, like when two people discover an evil demon simultaneously…” said Shen Xiang.

“If someone dies from a conflict, what happens then Aren't swords and knives merciless” asked Shen Xiang.

“It's the same as in previous rounds. If you die, don't blame others. If you fear death, you can withdraw now,” said Elder Ding.

Suddenly, Shen Xiang felt several cold and murderous glances. These were the young disciples who frequently followed around King Yan, all of them his students and bloodline cultivators. Their strength was immeasurable, and they didn't seem to fear him despite knowing about all the astonishing things he had done. Therefore, Shen Xiang concluded that these young people were not simple, and they would need his vigilance when he entered.

Elder Ding said, “The first to enter is Bluemoon, following your last round's ranking. One person every two hours!”

When Shen Xiang heard this rule, he cursed inwardly but made no comment because there were still five others behind him who would enter even later.

Scoring at fifteen, Shen Xiang had to wait for more than ten hours. That was a full day behind others.

A white circular light door opened gradually, releasing spatial force and a wicked demon aura. Now that Shen Xiang knew why they were here, there was a Realm of Evil Demons present where opening the door would be relatively easy.

Divine Martial Temple had kept this a secret for quite some time, even the four formation experts didn't know.

“I'm off first!” Bluemoon said with a giggle before entering the door without any signs of nervousness. It was hard to imagine such an adorable young girl being unfazed by the evil demons inside.

At this moment, others also started leaving because there was little to see in this round. All the events occurred inside the realm, and Bluemoon and Fragrant Moon repeated their warnings to Shen Xiang before departing. Only Gudongchen and Wukaiming were waiting for him.在這種情況下，他施展全身的力量迅速避開，並出現在周飛身後。他掄起雙拳，使用天地殺伐拳，對著周飛的背部狂砸。經過天梯的鍛鍊，沈翔已經能挖掘出體內潛藏的力量。此時他瘋狂地施展天地殺伐拳，配合空間法則，使他的拳頭從四麵八方包圍周飛。轟！轟！轟！每一拳都產生極其恐怖的天地殺伐之力，那股濃烈的殺氣發出陣陣咆哮聲，如同妖魔般充斥整個大廳。周飛四周的空間，早已被沈翔的天地殺伐術震得不穩定，使得他無法進行空間瞬移...
