176: People from ten thousand years in the future

After arriving in the Upper Realm, Xu Xiaobai finally understood what prosperity meant.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was exceptionally rich, and all the buildings in sight were grand and magnificent. Even ordinary mortals possessed the cultivation of the Martial Master Realm.

Those Martial Emperor and Martial Ancestor powerhouses who commanded wind and rain in the Xuanhuan Lower Realm could only be considered minor characters in the Gu Ting Upper Realm.

Those who were slightly more noteworthy were Martial Venerables, whose status was more akin to guards.

Gu Ting Upper Realm, Grand Profound Bell Lu Mansion, Reception Platform.

Three Spirit Boats slowly appeared, and a group of powerhouses from the Grand Profound Bell Lu Mansion below collectively stepped forward to pay their respects.

Young Lord!

Greetings, Young Lord!!!

A group of Martial Venerables and Martial Ancestors bowed respectfully, their attitudes humble.

Lu Yixuan raised his hand slightly and said indifferently, "Dispense with the formalities."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the person beside him and asked with a smile, "Are you accustomed to it?"

Ninety percent of his words were for showing off.

But there was no shock in the other party's eyes as he had imagined.

On the way to the Upper Realm, Xu Xiaobai learned some basic information about this Secret Realm Trial.

This so-called Red Moon Trial was the place where two Martial Saints passed away.

Legend has it that these two Martial Saints were a loving couple, a man and a woman.

They had known each other for countless years, and in the end, both failed to Breakthrough to Martial God, choosing to die together and go to Yellow Springs.

And before they departed, they left behind their Legacy.

This ruin was the Opportunity they left for future generations.

As long as a man and a woman could pass the Trial, they would obtain the Legacy of the two Martial Saints.

However, this Trial Grounds has existed for thousands of years, yet no one has ever been able to obtain the Legacy.

Although the Legacy could not be obtained, the resources and items left by these two Martial Saints were enough to move them.

Therefore, Red Moon also became a Trial Grounds for many young men and women to form teams.

"When do we go for the Trial?"

"It will open in about a month. If you don't mind, you can stay at my Grand Profound Bell Lu Mansion first."

"Okay!" Xu Xiaobai nodded, without any dissatisfaction.

"Yin'er, Xi'er, take this Young Miss Xu to her lodging."

"Um, I'm not used to living alone. Can they stay with me?"

"As you wish."

"Yes, Young Lord."

The two maids behind Lu Yixuan responded and led Xu Xiaobai away.

On the way out, Xu Xiaobai's laughter and words drifted from afar.

"Little Sisters, how old are you this year?"

As she spoke, she started to get mischievous.

After the three of them left, Lu Yixuan dismissed everyone else.

After waiting five breaths, a figure appeared before him.

"What do you think of this Xu Xiaobai?" Lu Yixuan asked the old man.

"This woman is like a man, her actions are lax, her words are uninhibited. I'm afraid she cannot be the matriarch of my Grand Profound Bell Lu Mansion!"

The old man shook his head, then said seriously, "Please, Young Lord, think twice before deciding."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yixuan immediately became anxious, "I didn't ask you that! I asked about her strength!"

"I asked you to comment on her strength! How could this Young Lord take a fancy to her?"

...In the blink of an eye, a month had almost passed.

The two maids, named Yin'er and Xi'er, now came before Lu Yixuan to report Xu Xiaobai's actions this month.

On the first day, both of them suffered at her hands.

From the second to the tenth day, they followed her around all the prosperous places within the Grand Profound Bell Lu Mansion.

Xu Xiaobai's temperament and looks were not bad. Standing there, one who didn't know would think she was a Saintess-Grade figure from some immortal force.

In any case, she was very eye-catching, and furthermore, she was accompanied by two maids of Young Lord Lu Yixuan... Subsequent investigation revealed that this person named Xu Xiaobai was brought back by their Young Lord from the Lower Realm.

Such a situation made it hard for many Cultivators of the Grand Profound Bell Lu Mansion not to misunderstand.

They all shuddered, thinking, could this be the person their Young Lord had taken a fancy to?

For a time, everyone remained silent.

Strangely, she only wandered around and never bought anything.

Even stranger was that after Lu Yixuan learned of this, he sent several million Spirit Stones.

But even after receiving the Spirit Stones, she still didn't buy anything.

"From the tenth day onwards, Xu Xiaobai has been holed up in her residence, eating and drinking, and teasing us in different ways every day."

Yin'er and Xi'er spoke with tearful eyes, their faces blushing to their ears as they recounted the various unpleasant encounters of the month.

They had tried to resist, but it wasn't entirely effective.

But now it was good, they were finally escaping the sea of suffering!

Hearing the two girls' report, Lu Yixuan was thoughtful.

If Xu Xiaobai really liked them, he wouldn't mind giving them to her to improve their favorability.

But for now, it was better to resolve the Secret Realm matter first.

Now, let's set off for the Red Moon Secret Realm!

...Gu Ting Upper Realm, Yanbo State Domain.

Outside the Red Moon Secret Realm.

At this moment, countless pairs of men and women were gathered here.

Their identities were all extraordinary, being the top generation of various major forces in the Upper Realm.

At this moment, everyone gathered here, waiting for the Secret Realm to open.

Dragons and tigers pulled carriages, auspicious clouds drifted.

Such a sight attracted the attention of many Cultivators.

This was the carriage of the Young Lord of the Grand Profound Bell Lu Mansion.

Not long after, the carriage descended from the sky, and two figures emerged from it.

The woman wore a purple gown with golden patterns, a white flower adorned her light purple short hair, and a slight smile played on her lips.

Her smile was so bright and sunny, forming a stark contrast with the other women present.

The man, on the other hand, wore a brocade robe, was handsome and refined, full of vigor, looking like a dashing Young Master.

The woman and man who emerged from the carriage were precisely Xu Xiaobai and Lu Yixuan.

Upon seeing the two before them, everyone's gaze immediately focused on them.

Xu Xiaobai was very puzzled, why did these people's eyes seem a bit strange?

The next moment, two people walked towards them.

The newcomers seemed unfriendly; they were a man and a woman.

The woman was dressed lavishly, elegant and noble, while the man was enveloped in Evil Qi, with a murderous aura soaring to the sky.

These two were the leaders of the younger generation of immortal families, but the woman also had another identity: she was Lu Yixuan's former paramour.

Indeed, the woman looked at Lu Yixuan with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

There's drama!

Xu Xiaobai was delighted. Just by looking at the situation, she knew there would definitely be drama to watch.

She then quietly retreated to the side, preparing to watch the three of them passionately argue.

However, the imagined argument did not happen; they merely brushed past each other, nothing more.

But as she passed by Xu Xiaobai, she said something inexplicable.

"So, you are that fated person."

Su Qingyan looked deeply at Xu Xiaobai, her eyes filled with sympathy, hatred, and helplessness.

It was this person who caused the great catastrophe ten thousand years later!

In fact, she had a secret she couldn't tell everyone: she was actually from ten thousand years in the future.

One must know, after she reversed time with a Heaven-Defying Divine Artifact, she had made countless preparations to prevent that great catastrophe ten thousand years later.

She even went directly to Lu Yixuan's side, yet despite all her schemes, she never expected Xu Xiaobai to appear by his side in this manner... Soon, as more and more pairs of Dao Companions arrived, various powerhouses continuously came and went in the sky.

They were all from major forces, and exotic beasts, Magic Treasures, and rare items were constantly showcased.

Saint Physiques! Special Physiques! Saint Weapons! Broken Emperor Weapons!

Xu Xiaobai continuously collected various Origin information, grinning from ear to ear. In her exceptionally good mood, she even shamelessly teased other people's Dao Companions.

However, as time passed, the atmosphere of the entire Red Moon Trial Grounds grew increasingly strange.

Suddenly, with a hum! The heavens and earth trembled.

"The Secret Realm is about to open, grab my hand."

Lu Yixuan suddenly spoke. Xu Xiaobai nodded, then took a step forward and seized him by the neck.

"Hey, that's not the 'grab' I meant!"

Lu Yixuan was bewildered. How could he, a dignified Young Lord of an immortal family, be treated like a criminal?

The next moment, as the gentle red moon rose above, a pulling force suddenly appeared, drawing everyone outside the Secret Realm into a blurry light and shadow.

The Red Moon Secret Realm officially opened.

Within the Secret Realm space, there was a desert of light and shadow.

Lu Yixuan and Xu Xiaobai appeared together, with the former still in the posture of being seized.

"Cough cough, shouldn't you let go of me now, Young Miss Xu?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yixuan was finally released, and then he explained the Trial to her.

This first Trial was also very simple, testing the Physique of the two.

This desert of light and shadow would release pressure according to the Physique of the tested individuals.

To complete the challenge, they could only keep walking forward until they exited this desert of light and shadow, and then they would receive a reward.

Of course, this stage was not easy to pass; it not only tested the challengers' Physiques but also their perseverance.

If one side fell, the other side would also be eliminated together.

One must know, this was a Saint-Grade test, and to obtain the Legacy reward, the pressure in this stage was the full pressure of a Martial Venerable.

Moreover, this was an entire desert, with the threats of quicksand of light and shadow, and attacks from Martial Venerable-level Yao Beasts.

The difficulty was imaginable; therefore, most Dao Companion combinations would stop here.

Lu Yixuan attempted to take the first step, and in an instant,

A powerful pressure suddenly descended, heavily falling upon him, almost flattening him onto the desert ground.

"The first step!"

Just the first step made Lu Yixuan so disheveled.

In response, Xu Xiaobai smiled slightly and decisively activated a cheat, immediately feeling a sudden lightness in the pressure on her body.

Afterward, she stepped forward and hoisted Lu Yixuan onto her shoulder.

Then she ran forward all the way.

In mid-air, Lu Yixuan's eyes were wide like brass bells.
