Chapter 66: Immortal Dao Assessment First Update

  "Anyway, thank you, Miss Shangguan."

  Lin Xidao.

  "Call me Yáo Xuě then. - I'm not doing this without a reason, and later on, I hope Brother Lín will take care of me more."

  Shangguan Yaoyue smiled slyly.

  "My martial arts skills are just average, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you, miss."

  Lin Xi said calmly and quietly.

  Shangguan Yaoyue just smiled and pursed her lips, without saying anything.

  At this time, a large number of warriors had already entered the trial gate. It was soon their turn.

  Lin Xi took a deep breath, raised his head, and stepped into the trial gate. As soon as he entered the gate, layers of light flickered, the scenery around him distorted, and then a vast darkness rushed towards him.

  When Lin Xi came back to his senses, the scene in front of him had already changed. A hazy sky covered above, without sun or moon. Underfoot was a stretch of fine white sand, with some faint giant beast bones scattered on the ground. And further ahead, there was a majestic and undulating mountain range.

  The entire space exuded a bleak, ancient and mysterious aura.

  "Is this the trial space?"

  Lin Xi muttered to herself.

  He looked up at the sky and clearly felt that this space was different from Shenxia Mountain, even the air was different.

  In an instant, through a door, he entered another isolated world. This means was unimaginable to Lin Xi before.

  However, the only thing that comforted him was that the Trial Gate behind him also stood upright in this space. As long as he passed through the Trial Gate, he could still return to Shen Xiao Mountain.

  "Never mind, let's go get the necessary items for the assessment first."

  Lin Xi had experience with the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range, so he quickly calmed down.

  Those who can come to Shenxia Mountain are warriors with extraordinary willpower. Such things can be accepted very quickly. In the moment of regaining consciousness, many people consider how to obtain as many task items as possible.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  In the blink of an eye, the warriors in front of the trial gate immediately jumped up and turned into black dots, quickly disappearing into the sky. Lin Xi aimed at a direction and also jumped up, heading towards the distant mountains.

  Hmph!

  Lin Xi had just disappeared for a moment, and from the arched light gate, the light flashed, and Shangguan Yuxue in pink dress immediately appeared from it.

  Shangguan Yaoyue glanced around and her eyes immediately stopped in the direction where Lin Xi had disappeared.

  "Hum! Still want to deceive me? Zhongren's treasure? Can Zhongren's treasure wield the Fa Xian sword?"

  Shangguan Yaoyue lightly pursed her lips and revealed a sly smile.

  Among so many people in the Immortal Path assessment, she only took a liking to Lin Xi and even spoke up for him, but it wasn't out of kindness.

  A warrior with mediocre talent would absolutely not be able to participate in the recruitment of the Xian Dao Great World at the age of seventeen or eighteen; a warrior with mediocre talent would also absolutely not be able to carry the Fa Sword on his body even after reaching the tenth level of martial arts.

  Shangguan Yaoyue recognized the sword on Lin Xi's body at first glance. Of course, it was also possible that some people who were skilled in swordsmanship would use ordinary divine weapons, but this kind of weapon refined by a strong cultivator in the Refining Qi stage might deceive others, yet it couldn't deceive Shangguan Yaoyue's eyes.

  The sword of law in the Refining Qi Realm is not something that anyone can possess!

  Buzz!

  Shangguan Yaoyue's body swayed and she immediately darted in the direction where Lin Xi had disappeared.

  On the mountain of Shen Xiao, in front of the stone gate, it was quiet. Just after everyone had entered the trial gate, about half a cup of tea later, a man with a majestic breath suddenly appeared in front of the trial gate.

  The man's face was cold and he didn't say a word. With a flick of his palm, the token flew immediately to the face of the Xian Dao disciple in charge of the assessment.

  Seeing this token, the Xian Dao disciple who was calm and composed just a moment ago suddenly changed his expression:

  "It's Shījiě's..."

  He suddenly stopped talking and waved his hand: "You go in."

  In a flash of light, the man with a cold expression immediately entered the Trial Gate.

  …………

  The mountains are shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.

  At this time, more than 80 warriors were scattered throughout the entire space, and they were already very far apart from each other. They could no longer be seen with the naked eye.

  Lin Xi went deeper and felt that among these mountains, it was quiet to the point of being terrifying.

  All along the way, there were no ferocious beasts attacking, but instead saw many white bones of beasts, scattered all over the deep mountains.

  "These giants, each with formidable strength, how were they all killed?"

  Lin Xi stopped in front of a huge skeleton.

  This white skeleton is extremely large, at least ten times taller than Lin Xi. Lin Xi looked very carefully, these beast bones are shaped like they were escaping from something before they died.

  Lin Xi's mind recalled the time he came in, that Xian Dao disciple's hand holding a strange and eerie heart. He didn't think that Shen Xiao Sect would shoot without aiming.

  Since they were brought in, there must be prey for them to hunt. However, so far, Lin Xi has not seen a single prey, either those preys are hiding or he hasn't reached the place yet.

  As soon as he made up his mind, Lin Xi immediately walked forward.

  Just as Lin Xi was about to leave.

  "What a strong human smell!"

  A moan, as if it had been hungry for a long time, suddenly rang out. Right next to the white bones on the edge of a cliff on a mountain, a tendril suddenly loosened and fell down, and under the tendril, a head suddenly popped out.

  This is a human female's skull, with an enchanting face, slightly pale. However, this woman's eyes are not black, but rather eerily blood red.

  "It's been ages since humans last came here. How starving!"

  The woman's face showed a drunken expression, sniffing around in mid-air.

  "Ah!"

  Letting out a hungry cry, his mouth opened wide, revealing two three-inch long sharp fangs.

  Whoosh!

  In a flash of light, the woman suddenly darted out from behind the vines and into the air, circling once before flying towards Lin Xi.

  At this time, it can be seen clearly. This is not a human being at all, but a humanoid monster. It has the body of a seductive human woman, naked, exposing her snow-white breasts, plump buttocks and slender figure. However, on its body grows a pair of bat-like wings, and a long tail.

  This is why it can fly in the air!

  It was just a blink of an eye and it immediately disappeared without a trace.

  "Vampire Woman!"

  Farther away, Yu Xue saw the monster gliding out and a look of horror flashed across her face. She gritted her teeth and suddenly hid her figure.

  …………

  Lin Xi didn't know that a strange creature was following behind him. Along the way, although he hadn't seen any fierce beasts, the feeling of unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

  This place gives him a feeling that makes people very uncomfortable.

  "Hiss!"

  Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from underground. A large piece of ground in front of Lin Xi cracked open, the earth shook violently, and a giant alligator as small as a mountain burst out of the ground, its big mouth opened wide, spewing out a wave of yellow toxic water. At the same time, its four legs kicked hard, and the giant alligator with hundreds of sharp teeth bit fiercely towards Lin Xi.

  The mouth of this giant alligator is very large and long, enough to hold 20 or 30 human heads.

  "Giant Crocodile on Land!"

  Lin Xi's eyes narrowed, recognizing the monster. The Ground Crawler was extremely rare, able to move through the ground, with immense power, and the water it spat out was also highly toxic, making it very difficult to defend against.

  If it were in the past, Lin Xi would have had to put in some effort, but now it's different.

  "Welcome!"

  Lin Xi's body flickered, transforming into a blurry residual shadow, dodging the poisonous water spraying from all directions in an instant. With just one jump, he immediately flipped over to the top of this giant crocodile's head.

  "Get out of here!"

  Lin Xi's right leg kicked fiercely. His current strength was enormous, and where could this ten-thousand-jin-level land crocodile withstand it?

  Rumble!

  This kick was like a meteor falling to the ground. The massive crocodile, in pain, almost popped its eyes out and nearly bit off its own tongue. It was directly kicked by Lin Xi from mid-air to the ground, heavily smashing into the earth.

  "Ghost King's Claw!"

  A dark green ghost claw burst out of the air. With just one strike, it tore apart the body of the giant crocodile that was moving on the ground, and pulled out a lump of flesh and blood from its body. A huge heart flew out of the flesh and blood, floating into Lin Xi's palm.

  "Not this."

  Lin Xi furrowed his brow. The heart of the giant alligator was powerful, but it wasn't what Lin Xi needed to complete the Immortal Dao assessment.

  "What kind of creature is that heart from?"

  Lin Xi furrowed his brow, and in his mind, he recalled the heart held by the Xian Dao disciple.

  Even the mighty crocodile's heart would stop beating within seconds of being removed from its body. But the heart in the hands of that immortal Taoist disciple continued to beat ceaselessly, even after it had been severed from its owner.

  Such a strong life force is unheard of.

  Wow!

  Unable to think of an answer, Lin Xi simply stopped thinking. The Ghost King's claw grasped again, and once more pulled out a beast dan from that mass of flesh and blood.

  The beast core of the Earth-crawling Giant Crocodile is dark red, and even a ten-fold beast core is extremely rare. The only regret is that due to Lin Xi's increase in strength, and the Earth-crawling Giant Crocodile's strength being not very high among the ten-fold fierce beasts, it can provide very limited help to Lin Xi. It can only increase his strength by about 1,000 catties, which is still better than nothing.

  Lin Xi closed his eyes and activated "Dominating Heaven's Authority", absorbing the energy from the beast dan.

  Hurray!

  Suddenly, a strange laughter echoed from the void. Immediately, a residual shadow flashed towards Lin Xi like lightning.

  "What a thing!"

  Lin Xi was shocked and hastily turned around with a slap.

  Bang!

  A massive surge of power came pouring in. The opponent's strength was incredibly formidable. Lin Xi's body shook, and he immediately flew backward, sliding over ten zhang on the ground before coming to a stop.

  Across from Lin Xi, a humanoid female monster somersaulted in mid-air several times, her bat-like wings spread wide before stabilizing her body.

  "Hahaha, humans, what wonderful creatures!"

  This crimson child with bat wings floated in mid-air, its wings spread wide and flapping slowly. Its long, sharp fingernails were inserted into its mouth, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of its lips. Yet, on its face, an expression of intoxication appeared.

  "Huh?"

  Lin Xi felt a chill on his arm, only to discover that there were five deep claw marks on it. The skin was torn off, revealing the flesh and blood underneath, with streams of blood gushing out.
