Chapter 86: Mysterious Boundary

  Shen Xiang pouted and said: "Didn't you hear what that woman just said? And I've already told you, she's my fiancée!"

  Xue Xianxian's name was well-known in the Wudao Gate of Chenwu Continent, because at the age of fifteen, she was already a true martial artist of Zhenwu Realm!

  Shen Xiang also found out in the past few days that he had fallen far behind Xue Xianxian.

  "Son of a bitch... son of a bitch, such a good girl, how could she be willing to marry you?" Zhu Rong's face was filled with jealousy as he shook Shen Xiang's body, looking like he wanted to beat him up.

  Shen Xiang's injury healed quickly, and after Dan Changlao left, the others all came to Shen Xiang's side, inquiring about his well-being with concern, their eyes filled with respect, saying things like "we'll have to learn from you another time" and so on...

  Only Yun Xiaodao, Shen Xiang and Zhang De can enter the third assessment. Although they are of different ages, they are all good friends. They only hope that the third item will not be a mutual fight, which is too cruel for them.

  Shen Xiang was taking a deep breath at this time. He still had half an hour of rest time, and he was thinking about what kind of person Dan Chang Lao was.

  "Mei Yao sister, Youyou sister, do you have any leads?" Shen Xiang asked.

  "No, but it's not necessarily the woman you know. You have to understand that a woman's heart is hard to fathom. Maybe it's because of your gaze or some of your actions that gave her a bad impression and she started hating you. Or maybe she really cares about you and wants you to temper yourself outside." Su Meiyao said.

  "This woman is quite capable, and she even has a Flame Soul! If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Violet Moon Flame Soul." Bai YuYu said.

  "That's right, it must be the Purple Moon Fire Soul. Legend has it that the moon suddenly turned purple and shot out a beam of light to illuminate the mortal world, engulfing the mortal world in a sea of purple flames, burning for 49 million years. After the great fire was extinguished, the mortal world gave birth to living beings, flowers, grass, trees, and all kinds of life! At that time, the Purple Moon Fire Soul, known as the Fire of Life, was born, but that's just a legend from the Purple Moon Realm... Could it be that woman is from the Purple Moon Realm?" Su Mei Yao said.

  Shen Xiang did not expect that a Fire Soul would have such a great origin, and he secretly confirmed that Su Mei Yao and Bai Yu Yu had traveled through many mortal realms.

  "I don't know, I'll ask her clearly after I marry her." Shen Xiang chuckled.

  "I don't know when it will be, but this woman might be in the state of Nirvana, which is the highest existence in the mortal world." Su Meiyao said.

  After recovering from his injuries, Shen Xiang was delighted to find that his physical body had become much stronger, and the enhancement of his true energy was also very obvious. After the turmoil just now, his true energy was compressed, and its quality was greatly improved.

  In a short period of time, there was such an obvious improvement, which made Shen Xiang secretly surprised. He began to suspect that Dan Lao might not have any malicious intentions and only wanted to temper him, but the method was too strict and extreme.

  "Wait until I enter the inner gate and get admitted to Tai Dan Institute, then I can enjoy two treatments!" Shen Xiang decided, he suddenly became very curious about Nai Dan elder, in order to be able to contact her, he could only go to Tai Dan Institute, because Nai Dan elder was the head of Tai Dan Institute.

  Shen Xiang, Yun Xiaodao, and Zhang De were led by Zhu Rong to the innermost part of Taiwu Gate, where they could see many courtyards of various sizes.

  "Number 99 Nei Men Wu Yuan, where are we going?" Yun Xiaodao exclaimed as he saw the sign.

  "Go to the nursing home! I went there that year too." Zhu Rong patted his round belly with a strange smile: "The third assessment is not as terrifying as the second one, but it's still quite difficult. However, after passing, there will be many benefits."

  It turned out that they were going to the Elder's Residence, where all the Elders of Taiwu Gate lived. This made Shen Xiang and his group feel a great deal of pressure. Shen Xiang was also worried that because of his conflict with Dan Lao, the entire Elder's Residence would be against him, and he really wouldn't be able to stay in Taiwu Gate anymore.

  "Taiwu has been in seclusion for many years, now it's all up to Wu Changlao to handle things. Dan Changlao is also elusive and rarely appears once a year to give lectures." Zhu Rong said: "The third assessment item is handled by Wu Changlao."

  Na Wu Zong Lao is the third person in Tai Wu Men, who is gentle and easy-going. Although he is a powerful being, he has no airs about him, which makes many of his disciples adore him. This made Shen Xiang and others breathe a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to face Dan Zong Lao, that eccentric woman with unpredictable mood swings.

  "This is the Elder's Hall? It's indeed a bit different." Yun Xiaodao didn't expect that inside Taiwu Gate, there was actually a paradise on earth. Inside wasn't just pure architecture, but also had mountains and water, with a vast expanse of grasslands. Although it was nighttime, under the light of the bright moon and stars, one could still see the beautiful scenery within.

  "Why can't I see these scenes outside? And it looks like the sky inside is even bigger than the Tianmen City outside!" Shen Xiang said in puzzlement.

  "Heh heh, this is a mysterious realm. Only by getting close can you see the things inside clearly. From afar, it will be blocked by a kind of mystical power, causing you to only see some things in front of the entrance of the mysterious realm." An old man with a shiny bald head but sporting white whiskers and eyebrows suddenly appeared behind Shen Xiang and his companions.

  Shen Xiang and the others were startled, hastily turning around to see that the old man with a shaved head was smiling, his eyes narrowed under his long white eyebrows, looking very peaceful.

  Mystic realm, is an independent small space, equivalent to a small world, very mysterious, just like this mystic realm is extremely large now, but can't be seen from the outside, only by entering through that entrance can it be seen, how such a mystic realm was formed remains a mystery until today.

  Shen Xiang and others had all heard of the legend of the Mystic Realm, but they never thought that the Taiwu Gate would actually have one, and it was even in the Elder's Court!

  "Wu Changlao!" Shen Xiang and the others shouted in unison, paying their respects to the old man.

  Wu Lao named Wu Kaiming, in charge of Taiwu Gate's safety matters, responsible for many things, is a ruthless person, it is said that he once single-handedly entered a demonic sect to rescue his own disciple and brought him back.

  "No need to be polite." Wu Kaoming said with a smile: "You're Shen Xiang? Dan Changlao just told me to make things difficult for you, but I refused. I don't want to be hated by a junior brother, but on the other hand, you really have guts, making that woman choke back her anger. Luckily, this woman's temper isn't too bad, otherwise if she had slapped you to death, we old guys would only be able to scold her superficially."

  These words made Zhu Rongyun and Xiao Dao break out in a cold sweat.

  Shen Xiang smiled and said, "It seems that my luck is really good after all. But now, it doesn't seem like she'll do anything to me again, right? In this regard, can I be considered to have gained an advantage?"

  "It's hard to say, this woman has a very strange temper, you'd better not let her continue to hate you, otherwise... you'll be tortured by her until you're worse off than dead." Wu Kaoming laughed and said, he was very interested in Shen Xiang, such an oddball. As for Shen Xiang's potential, many people had already seen it, and under the circumstances where Dan Changlao deliberately made things difficult for him, he still managed to pass!

  "No more nonsense, I'll now tell you about the content of the third assessment. It's a task to hunt and kill demonic beasts in some places within this Mystic Realm. You must each hunt and kill three 10th-grade demonic beasts within three days! There are many demonic beasts here, with strengths comparable to yours. As long as you can complete it, you'll pass the third assessment." said Wu Changlao.
