64: Chapter 64: Hiding for three days? The first round ends

"System, open the panel." He wanted to see how many limit points he had left.

"Ding, the current panel has been opened."

"Host: Jiang Xuan."

"Realm: Spirit Connection Limit."

"limit points: 10000 | 50000."

"Current Mission: Pass the assessment of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land."

Looking at the ten thousand limit points he still had, Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment. He opened the System to check. He wanted to see if there was anything that could temporarily imprison Xia Wudao.

He couldn't just carry him everywhere; that would be too conspicuous. Moreover, there were many people from Imperial Dynasties within the Holy Land, and his current strength was insufficient to let anyone discover that Xia Wudao had died by his hand.

After checking for a while and finding too many items, he directly asked, "System, is there any treasure that can both imprison a person and make him suffer endless torment?"

"Ding, replying to Host, the Soul Refining Sail meets your requirements. It can restrain the Divine Soul, subjecting it to the eighteen layers of Hell's torture daily, ensuring no reincarnation for eternity. It costs five thousand limit points. Would you like to exchange for it?"

"Damn, there's such a good thing!"

"Exchange!"

"Ding, exchange successful. Congratulations to Host for acquiring the Demonic Path secret treasure, Soul Refining Sail. Remaining limit points: 5000."

As the System's voice faded, a banner emitting black smoke suddenly appeared in Jiang Xuan's hand. One side was carved with the character 'Refine', and the other had a white skull.

Jiang Xuan held it, and a dark aura immediately assailed him. So this was the Soul Refining Sail; its aura was truly evil.

He frowned. It was another item of the Demon Race, which would be very suitable for his Clone, who possessed the nine nether demon heart, in the future.

Then, Jiang Xuan placed one hand on Xia Wudao's head and swept the other over his crown, forming a claw with his five fingers! Spiritual power was released, slowly extracting the latter's Soul.

In an instant, a transparent phantom appeared before him. "Jiang Xuan, you actually dared to kill me! The Great Xia Dynasty will not let you off!"

Xia Wudao's Soul, upon emerging, roared at Jiang Xuan! Jiang Xuan said coldly, "Don't worry, it won't be long before you return to your Imperial Dynasty."

With that, he extended the Soul Refining Sail forward. Immediately, a large hand formed of black smoke reached out from within, pulling Xia Wudao's Soul into the Sail.

"What is this thing! Where are you putting me!" Xia Wudao's Soul trembled as it sensed the aura of the Soul Refining Sail.

"Hehe, go to where you belong!"

"Collect!"

Jiang Xuan whispered, and Xia Wudao's entire Soul was absorbed into the Soul Refining Sail. Jiang Xuan glanced inside and saw him chained in the Void Realm by chains, with bolts of lightning striking his body, causing him to wail in agony.

"Enjoy it slowly!" Jiang Xuan took one last look before putting away the Soul Refining Sail... Three days later, the entire trial was drawing to a close.

"Is this the exit?"

Jiang Xuan arrived at a flat area composed entirely of stones, looking at the towering gateway above as he spoke.

On the last day, he no longer snatched light orbs from others, but focused on killing Flame Demons and refining their essence blood. He had reaped considerable rewards. Seeing that time was almost up, he secretly followed the crowd to the exit.

On the plain, three to four hundred people were already standing. Time was almost up, so these must be the ones who passed the first round.

"Why isn't Xia Wudao here yet? Time is almost up. Could something have happened?"

The people from the other three great Imperial Dynasties gathered together. The two men and one woman leading them felt strange seeing no one from the Great Xia Dynasty after such a long time.

The person who had teased Xia Wudao before the assessment said, "No, besides us few, only the people from the seven major forces could deal with him. They have no reason to act, and besides, our major forces have an agreement not to interfere with each other during the Holy Land assessment until the last moment. This is only the first round, so it wouldn't be them."

Another gray-haired man continued, "Tch, always acting like the boss, yet he's nowhere to be seen after half an assessment. How embarrassing!"

"Enough, both of you. Say less and let's get out first," the cool-looking white-robed woman said coldly.

Hearing this, the two smiled and said no more.

Just then, they suddenly saw Jiang Xuan in the distance and were surprised!

"That kid, he wasn't eliminated?"

"And, didn't Xia Wudao deal with him?"

They exchanged glances, feeling that something was amiss. They nodded and walked towards Jiang Xuan.

The white-robed woman beside them saw their actions and also glanced at Jiang Xuan, a hint of surprise appearing on her usually calm face.

Jiang Xuan in the distance saw the two walking towards him, frowned, then relaxed.

"Kid, why are you still here? Did you see anyone from the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"No," Jiang Xuan shook his head lightly.

Those around them heard the commotion and turned to look. "Isn't that Xuan Yang, the Prince of Xuanxiao Imperial Dynasty, and Wu Li, the Prince of Great Wu Imperial Dynasty? What are they doing?"

"Eh, it's that kid in the Early Stage of Spirit Connection. He wasn't eliminated!"

Everyone was startled and looked at Jiang Xuan. "It's really him! His luck is too good!"

"Hehe, I bet he hid in some remote corner for three days and didn't encounter a single Demon Race member!" Someone guessed with a look of disdain.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd burst into laughter. They thought this was the only possibility. How strange; he couldn't possibly think that simply enduring until the end would allow him to pass the assessment, could he?

Xuan Yang and Wu Li gave Jiang Xuan a strange look. They also believed that the person's words made sense, and secretly scoffed, "Idiot!"

The indifferent white-robed woman stepped forward, her tone cold, her eyes filled with a captivating light as she stared at Jiang Xuan. "You really didn't see Xia Wudao?"

Jiang Xuan looked at her beautiful eyes, which seemed to possess some magical power that penetrated his heart. In an instant, his eyes became dull, and he murmured, "Never seen him..."

The woman frowned, looking at Jiang Xuan's dull eyes. She had a hunch that something was off about him, but seeing Jiang Xuan's appearance, he had indeed fallen for her Enchanting Heart Divine Ability, so he shouldn't be lying.

She withdrew her Divine Ability, and Jiang Xuan's eyes instantly recovered. Then, as if he remembered something, he looked at the woman with a wary expression.

The white-robed woman took in Jiang Xuan's expression, shook her head, and thought, 'It seems I was overthinking.' Then, she turned and no longer paid attention.

A mysterious smile played on Jiang Xuan's lips behind her, and he thought to himself, "Playing with Divine Sense in front of me, hehe, overestimating yourself!"

At this moment, the gateway in the sky emitted a white light, and the young man's voice came from within, "Assessment time is up. The remaining people, come out quickly! The Secret Realm is about to close!"

Hearing this, everyone rushed towards the exit. Xuan Yang and the others took one last look at the Secret Realm, their expressions puzzled.

The white-robed woman said, "Let's go. Perhaps he's already outside."

Outside, at the Pilgrimage Platform, the white light gate of the Secret Realm's exit suddenly fluctuated, and the young man who had been at the entrance had also arrived.

Everyone present stirred, "They're coming out!"
