Chapter 11 The past is like smoke She naturally didn't know that after she left, her mother followed her, seemingly forgetting something important. After the formation of Lingyun Cave was activated, everyone participating in the trial was instantly teleported to the starting point of the trial space. After arriving at the starting point, everyone looked at this strange world with curiosity. The space is filled with lush vegetation, the fragrance of flowers and the singing of birds. From the rolling hills in the distance, faint sounds of the cries of magical beasts can be heard. The spiritual energy in the air is much richer than that in the outside world. With every breath, one feels comfortable in every pore of the body. Of course, the beautiful scenery is secondary. What is more rare is the various opportunities here. Most of the participants, except for some dandy young men from certain families who have taken up the trial quota and have poor cultivation aptitude, have made great gains. After everyone came in, they stayed for a while, and then couldn't wait to leave in groups of three or two, rushing to their destination excitedly. After all, the trial only lasted for half a month, and they had to meet at this starting point after half a month to wait for the teleportation back. They didn't want to waste time here to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Although most people were participating for the first time, some trial maps had already been circulated among the clan because several trials had been held before. The regions and levels of detail marked on the maps varied according to the price. Some maps even marked dangerous low-level references and places where there might be treasures such as spiritual medicines and spiritual beasts. Most of them had one or even more copies, so they usually planned their itinerary before coming in. Of course, even so, the intermediate trial is not without risk.
If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. Trials are meant to hone one's skills, to train the elites of the clan, and naturally close to actual combat. Although there are elders who patrol the trial space, their responsibility is to maintain the stability of the space and avoid unexpected situations such as interference from outside powers. As for whether the boys and girls who were practicing were in danger, that was not what they considered. In fact, before the trial, the specially appointed elders would use their spiritual sense to scan the space in advance, leaving behind a few high-level magic beasts and the vast majority of low- and medium-level magic beasts. They would not act rashly. In their opinion, if they could not pass such a test, it would be difficult for them to become qualified warriors on the battlefield in the future. Yin Yue and the other two traveled together. In fact, if they hadn't followed Yin Yue, Xiao Jing and Lan Lan would hardly have qualified to enter the trial, after all, there were many teenagers of the same age in the tribe who had higher cultivation than them. After Yin Yue entered the space, she thought of exploring the storage bracelet left to her by her mother. When her consciousness entered, she was surprised, and then she was deeply moved. There was a necklace that the queen mother often wore in the storage bracelet. In addition, there was a bunch of healing holy medicines, two pieces of Yanluo blood jade and a death-substitute talisman. Perhaps she thought that with these things, her daughter would be safe even if she encountered great danger. Yin Yue and the other two cooperated well and overcame many difficulties. They soon harvested a lot of spiritual herbs and medicines. Shortly after entering the space, perhaps because of the abundant spiritual energy, or perhaps because of the desperate fight with the monsters, Xiao Jing and Lan Lan broke through the Jindan stage and reached the early stage of Yuanying. Yin Yue's skills also improved. She also designed to kill a high-level monster, the Dark Horned Snake, alone, which shocked Xiao Jing and Lan Lan. Everyone thought the trip was going smoothly, but at noon on the twelfth day, something strange happened. At that time, Yin Yue and the other two were preparing to attack a mid-level Fire Crystal Rhino with strong defense, when the trial space suddenly shook violently. Countless demon birds suddenly flew up from a distance and fled in all directions in the air like dark clouds. Just when the three were puzzled, an extremely powerful pressure appeared, and then they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives - the towering mountain in the distance ahead was suddenly smashed by a three-toed claw covered with scales that stretched down from the sky, and the huge mountain was as thin as paper. "What is this?" They were horrified. In their minds, there was no such monster. The sudden strange phenomenon in the sky made their minds go blank. Before they could turn around and escape, the three of them were pinned to the ground by a powerful and mysterious force in the air. They were unable to move at all, and their bones were crackling all over their bodies. What a terrifying strength! Yin Yue judged that this strength was even far superior to that of her father. They wanted to see its true appearance, but unfortunately they couldn't see its full appearance - it only showed its three-toed claws, which were as big as a mountain and tore through the space before pulling away. Just as they were about to vomit blood but were secretly thankful, the space cracks formed by the withdrawal of the three-toed claws produced a strong space storm. The storm rolled in like a tornado, instantly sucking the birds and animals in the nearby space into the air. Countless ancient trees were also uprooted and moved towards the space cracks. "Princess!" "Xiao Jing!" "Xiao Lan" "Come closer and catch me!" "Hold on tight!"... Yin Yue and the other two were involuntarily sucked into the air. They floated like leaves towards the gradually healing space crack. The terrifying space crack was like the huge mouth of an ancient beast, and inside was an unknown depth. The three of them felt a chill in their hearts, and in a hurry they tried their best to control the direction of their bodies, trying their best to grab each other's hands.
This was undoubtedly a moment of life and death. They held hands and spared no effort to activate the spiritual power shield. "No!" "Princess Silver Moon!"... That was the voice of the Sky Fox Clan elders, they were rushing over. They seemed to hear the sound of the elder breaking through the air as he traveled through space. How they wanted to stop, stop again—— Unfortunately, their bodies were like puppets that had lost their identity, and they could only watch themselves being sucked into the dark space... …… The moonlight in the room dimmed. There seemed to be clouds floating in the sky, as light as gauze. Xiaojing and Lanlan were still sleeping soundly, with occasional mumbling. When Zixuan came to her senses, she found that her pillow was already wet. "The moonlight shines brightly in front of my bed. I wonder if it is frost on the ground. I look up at the moon and think of my hometown." She murmured. It is said that this is the poem "Quiet Night Thoughts" by Li Bai, a great poet in the mortal world. The poem is fresh and simple, concise and clear, but it fully expresses the homesickness of a wanderer. After waking up, she was in a different world, far away from her homeland. She changed from the demon princess Yin Yue to the human Bai Zixuan, which was something no one could have expected. "Looking down and thinking about my hometown? Hometown, can I see it again?" Zixuan asked herself silently in her heart. She suddenly felt that Li Bai was happy, because at least he knew where his home was and could go back, but she herself didn't know if there would be such a day in her life. Over thirty years later, Zi Xuan couldn't remember how many times she had recalled the past. Past experiences often lingered in her mind in the dead of night. But tonight, because of the triggering of the Yanyu Blood Jade, the feeling in her heart was even more turbulent. Xiaojing and Lanlan left the territory when they were young and were sent to the Sky Fox Clan to accompany him. How could their feelings for their hometown and relatives be as deep as his? Zi Xuan sighed, feeling sad and missing someone, but she didn't know who to talk to. Father, mother, are you all right over there? Brother, are you okay too? Did you win the war? She suddenly remembered the blood letter written by her third brother, and her heart ached: Wang Er is determined to fight on the battlefield, and vows to fight with his comrades to kill the enemy and protect our people. God bless the Fox for thousands of years. Born here, raised here, and died here, Wang Er has no regrets... Her head was full of random thoughts, like a tangled mess that could not be cut or sorted out. As she thought about it, she finally fell into a deep sleep without knowing when. Outside the window, only unknown insects were chirping one after another. (End of this chapter)
