The Asura Trial had only two days left, and the Great Luo Sacred Sect had already begun preparations. A massive ship was docked at the sect's entrance, with disciples from the other six peaks boarding it one after another.

This time, the Great Luo Sacred Sect was sending over a thousand disciples to the Asura Trial. Most of them were at the Condensing Yuan Realm, with a few True Disciples at the Sea Transformation Realm.

As for the genius disciples above the Dao Platform Realm, none of them were participating, as the Asura Secret Realm had laws that suppressed those above the Dao Platform Realm.

Among the elders leading the team was someone Lin Xiao knew well. Yun Mengxi was also on the ship, but she wasn't participating in the Asura Trial. Her cultivation was at the early Heavenly Human Realm, which meant she couldn't even enter the Asura Secret Realm.

The Great Luo Sacred Sect dispatched eight ordinary elders this time, and Yun Mengxi was among them. Her cultivation level was more than sufficient for an ordinary elder, but she clearly had greater ambitions and didn't want to be just an elder.

Yun Mengxi looked up, her Divine Sense piercing through the sea of clouds, spotting the Star Tower hanging high in the sky!

"The Star Pool!"

Yun Mengxi dreamed of reaching the ninth level of the Star Tower, and now she had only one opponent left.

"Zhou Wenqing!"

Yun Mengxi withdrew her gaze, looking into the distance.

Thinking of Zhou Wenqing, Yun Mengxi also thought of someone else she found detestable.

"Damn it, if Lin Xiao weren't Zhou Wenqing's junior brother, maybe he would have shared that Dragon Clan Technique with me. With the Dragon Clan Technique, I'd have a ninety percent chance of becoming the Holy Maiden!"

Yun Mengxi mulled it over and concluded it was all Zhou Wenqing's fault.

"Brother He, I heard that when Lin Xiao came out of the Reflection Cliff, his cultivation had returned to the peak of the Condensing Yuan Realm, and he even defeated Li Chunyang, who was at the early Sea Transformation Realm. Dealing with him is going to be tricky."

While Yun Mengxi was pondering, the team from Ling Shou Peak also boarded the ship. Ling Shou Peak was the strongest among the seven grand peaks, with the most disciples, sending over two hundred people to the Asura Trial this time.

Leading them were three True Disciples from Ling Shou Peak, one of whom Lin Xiao knew—He Hong.

"What are you afraid of? He's only recovered to the peak of the Condensing Yuan Realm. Even if he recovers to the late Sea Transformation Realm, I'm not afraid. I'm just worried he won't dare to come!" He Hong spoke loudly, not caring if others from different peaks heard him. After all, Lin Xiao's grudge with Ling Shou Peak was well-known.

Yun Mengxi glanced at the Ling Shou Peak team, skipping over He Hong and focusing on the other two True Disciples. One was at the late Sea Transformation Realm, and the other had reached the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm.

"Lin Xiao is in big trouble this time. If he really dies in there, what will happen to that Dragon Clan Technique?" Yun Mengxi planned to find Lin Xiao once he boarded the ship.

"Lin Xiao also has a grudge with our Nine Radiance Peak. I'll cripple one of his arms first, and then you can finish him off."

After the Nine Radiance Peak team boarded, a tall, bald man approached He Hong. Seeing him, He Hong was pleasantly surprised, "Senior Brother Wan Yujing, are you leading the team this time?"

The bald man in front of He Hong was named Wan Yujing, at the mid Sea Transformation Realm. However, he ranked third among the True Disciples of Nine Radiance Peak and had refined his body to the marrow transformation stage, making him stronger than some at the late Sea Transformation Realm.

"That's right. The other senior brothers are unavailable, so I have to lead the team. I hope we lose fewer people from Nine Radiance Peak this time." Wan Yujing, despite his fierce appearance, spoke calmly.

"You're too modest, Senior Brother Wan. With you leading, everyone from Nine Radiance Peak will return safely." He Hong laughed.

"Not necessarily. Some dangers require risking one's life. If everyone stays under my protection, how will the disciples of Nine Radiance Peak gain opportunities?" Wan Yujing had participated in an Asura Trial before and was one of the few who survived.

After all the other peak's disciples boarded, Lin Xiao still hadn't arrived. He was still on Zixiao Peak.

"There's still two days, no need to rush." Although it was Lin Xiao's first time participating in the Asura Trial, he wasn't nervous at all. He had heard from his Senior Sister that it was quite fun inside. Others could fight for opportunities, and once they obtained them, she would snatch them away and then kill those who tried to take her opportunities, allowing her to leave smoothly.

"There are three layers in the Asura Secret Realm. As long as you don't go to the Asura Sea on the third layer, there's basically no danger." Luo Yusu wasn't worried about Lin Xiao dying in the Asura Secret Realm. With that set of Dragon Scale Armor and Lin Xiao's current combat strength, it wouldn't be easy to kill him.

"Before departure, I'll restore my cultivation to the early Sea Transformation Realm."

Lin Xiao swallowed an Essence Transformation Pill, not using the Dragon Marrow Pill Luo Yusu had prepared for him.

Luo Yusu stood by, acting as a Protector for her disciple.

Two days passed quickly, and Lin Xiao successfully restored his cultivation to the early Sea Transformation Realm.

"Master, I'm leaving now."

At the moment of parting, Lin Xiao was reluctant, wishing he could stay by his master's side forever. Just looking at his master's unparalleled beauty was already the happiest thing in the world.

"Go." Luo Yusu's face was expressionless.

"Master, I'll miss you. Will you miss me?" Lin Xiao mustered the courage to ask.

"No, my heart is only for the Dao," Luo Yusu replied indifferently.

"Liar, deep down, Master must be thinking, this rebellious disciple is getting bolder." Lin Xiao could predict Luo Yusu's next move. After saying this, he dashed out of the Purple Extreme Hall before Luo Yusu could raise her hand.

"Rebellious disciple..."

Luo Yusu indeed lied. Her heart wasn't as calm as a still water; there was a faint trace of melancholy.

Outside the Great Luo Sacred Sect, a group of people waited anxiously.

Some disciples rested inside the ship's cabin, while others were on the deck outside.

Yun Mengxi and the other elders stood on the highest observation deck.

"Are the disciples from Zixiao Peak coming or not? If they don't participate, we can just cut their resource allocation!" an elder said angrily. Lin Xiao had quite the nerve, making them all wait.

"Probably too scared to come," He Hong sneered.

"It's a pity. If he hides on Zixiao Peak, I really can't do anything to him," Wan Yujing said with a hint of regret. Lin Xiao had broken the arms of three Nine Radiance Peak disciples at the Reflection Cliff, causing them to lose face. This was a grudge that had to be settled, but if Lin Xiao didn't come, they couldn't settle it.

"Let's set off. It's time," an elder said impatiently.

"He's here!" Yun Mengxi saw a streak of spiritual light approaching. She noticed that Lin Xiao wasn't using a flying artifact but was flying by himself.

"In such a short time, his cultivation has recovered to the Sea Transformation Realm." Yun Mengxi was a bit surprised. A fallen realm wasn't something that could be easily restored, indicating that Lin Xiao's body had recovered very well.

"Is it because of the Flood Dragon blood, or is it that Dragon Clan Technique?" Yun Mengxi was uncertain and puzzled.
