Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Okay, okay, okay." Liang Jue was really afraid of his captain. No matter what, he always put on that attitude, and he couldn't even show off his skills.

So one by one, everyone stepped onto the steps.

At the very front of the group were the three members of the trial team: Liang Jue in front, Xiao Yu behind, and Fan Luo Kui in the middle, keeping a close eye on the two team members' dangers at all times, while also keeping a watchful eye on Yun Ping and the other person behind them.

Yunping walked at the back, with Ye Yuchan in front of him.

This was the best solution he came up with after careful consideration.

However, a disciple surnamed Ye disagreed with this.

Hey! You old pervert!

She turned around abruptly, her little face flushed, like a ripe apple.

When Yunping heard Ye Yuchan calling him, he quickly turned his wandering gaze back and met her eyes with a smile. "What's wrong, Yuchan?"

"You were just...staring at my butt, weren't you?!"

Wh...what?!

We were discovered?!

Hey, hey, hey, this is too much! We've been deliberately concealing our presence, so this shouldn't be happening.

Does Ye Yuchan have eyes in the back of her head?

Yunping coughed and waved his hand, "How could that be? I was just taking a look."

"Eh, really?"

Ye Yuchan gritted her teeth and suddenly stopped.

"W-what? Let me tell you, I'm a respectable person, I won't accept any angle from you in such a serious setting..."

"Get to the front, I'll go to the back!"

"Eh……"

Before Yunping could react, Ye Yuchan grabbed him and pulled him to the center of the group.

Ye Yuchan walked angrily to the very end of the line.

Yunping sighed as his plan was exposed.

Because of the sheer number of steps, even at Liang Jue's current pace, it would take at least ten minutes to complete the entire journey.

A ten-minute journey is extremely short for any cultivator.

However, Yunping did not think so—

(Click, click...)

There is a sound echoing.

(Click click click...)

Liang Jue continued walking steadily. The power of the auxiliary magic array had weakened considerably over time, and with his strength, he should have no problem moving forward steadily.

But if you want to complete it in one go, that would be very difficult.

First, there's the issue of physical strength. You have to use your own spiritual energy to counteract the power of the blood-red magic array on each stone step, and you also have to keep moving forward.

If you rush in all at once, your spiritual energy will probably be completely depleted before it can even recover.

Therefore, he must maintain his own walking rhythm at all times, otherwise he would probably be exhausted in the last few minutes.

(Click click click...)

"Hey Xiaoyuchan, do you know why I'm at the very back?"

Yunping stopped in his tracks.

Ye Yuchan got angry as soon as she heard Yunping bring up the topic again.

She glared fiercely at Yunping and muttered, "It's...it's all to satisfy your lewd mind!"

Do you think I'm that kind of person?

"Yes, you are."

"..." Yunping's lips twitched. "You really don't give your teacher any face at all."

(Click, click...)

"Who's going to give you face, humph..."

"Sigh, you still don't understand." Yun Ping glanced at the three members of the trial team who had walked further and further away, chatting and laughing all the way, completely oblivious to the danger, and couldn't help but shake his head. "You don't really think that the formation I set up back then was that simple, do you..."

Ye Yuchan: "What?!"

Crack—the sound of something breaking.

The crimson pillar within the crimson pit seemed to sense some kind of summons and began to writhe wildly.

At the same time, the loud collapse that echoed throughout the venue also drew everyone's attention.

They turned around abruptly and were shocked to find that the path they had come from was beginning to crumble, step by step!

A torrent of blood-red light burst forth from the shattered stone steps.

Xiaoyu was completely terrified. Staring at the gushing blood, feeling the violent and terrifying aura emanating from it, her lips trembled slightly. "Liang Jue, what... what is this?!"

Liang Jue did not reply; at this moment, he was the calmest one.

"run!!"

Without any warning, Liang Jue began to stride forward, running wildly ahead as if possessed.

Every step was a surge of spiritual energy.

Even though he had only gone less than halfway, he was already putting in all his effort.

He knew very well that this was the magic array's backup plan.

79. One click, play for a year...

Each stone step that was trampled on shattered, and a towering pillar of blood shot out. The chaotic aura contained within it could easily tear apart any cultivator it struck.

Ye Yuchan didn't know just how powerful that pillar of blood was, or whether it would kill her, a mere Xuanmen cultivator, on the spot.

She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

Yunping spread his hands, looking dejected. "That's why I said I'd walk at the very back."

*gulp*—swallowing saliva.

"Then... what do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Faced with the extremely anxious Ye Yuchan, Yunping could only point into the distance and say, "Run."

Without even thinking, Ye Yuchan immediately activated her spiritual energy and her Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body, and began to rush towards the end of the stone steps.

Purple lightning clung to her **, and the lightning that instantly transformed into lightning increased Ye Yuchan's speed by more than one level. At this moment, although her cultivation was at the Xuanmen stage, her speed had already reached the peak level of the Lingtai stage.

However, even the Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body is not omnipotent.

Just as Ye Yuchan was about to catch up with the trio of judges, a stone brick in front of her suddenly shattered, and a towering column of blood shot into the sky.

Although she wasn't directly hit by the pillar of blood, she began to run uncontrollably into the gap, and due to inertia, she had no way to stop herself.

Just as it was about to fall into the blood pit, the writhing blood-red pillar spread its unique, bowl-sized crimson tentacles in all directions, along with the corpses covered in copious amounts of blood...

Ye Yuchan abruptly closed her eyes, trying not to see the horrific scene.

But he still couldn't maintain his balance, and his whole body tilted downwards—

"So I'll just say it."

At a certain moment, Ye Yuchan's body stopped.

A soft, warm touch coursed through her body, and Ye Yuchan suddenly opened her eyes, meeting those black eyes that seemed to hold endless mysteries at extremely close range.

"If I hadn't followed behind, I wouldn't even know how I died."

As Yunping spoke, he released Ye Yuchan's waist. Ye Yuchan was stunned and almost couldn't adjust herself.

After she calmed down, she realized that she was standing on the same stone step as Yunping.

They were so close that they could feel his breath.

……

No, no, what is this thing?!

Why are you thinking about these things all the time? Saving your life is the most important thing!

Ye Yuchan patted her cheeks and glanced back into the distance—in the direction of the three members of the trial team.

The three of them were almost at the end of the stone steps. Fan Luokui had been running the rest of the way so that Liang Jue wouldn't get too tired.

Ye Yuchan was also surprised to find that many gaps had appeared on the stone steps, and the stones behind her were constantly bursting.

……

So all these strange rocks didn't explode from the very end?

"If it were that simple, why would I have set up this formation?" Yunping was also quite annoyed by this. "This stone brick road is where I have set up the most formations. After a third of the stone bricks have been stepped on, a certain stepped stone brick will burst out with a blood pillar. At its peak, if you are hit by the blood pillar, you will probably die even if you are in the Transcendent Stage."

"...The Transcendental Stage..." Ye Yuchan felt her mind start to tremble.

"And if you survive the ordeal and fall down, you'll probably be buried alive by the corpse—that's also part of the magic circle's design."

"Hiss—Buried alive... You bastard, are you some kind of demon? Why did you have to design so many... disgusting things!"

"I couldn't do anything about it. Who told so many crazy people to want to mess with me back then?"

Ye Yuchan pointed to the five shimmering magic arrays at her feet, "Then why don't you just break them directly?"

"No."

Yunping refused without even thinking.

"Why?!"

Ye Yuchan still remembers that Azure Sky Array, an eighth-order sealing array that even the Void Transformation stage could barely break through, was kicked to pieces by Yun Ping.
