"Very well. With such courage, this old man must give you a thumbs up. But if you fail the test, do not blame me for not giving you an opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengqi's face turned red. He had indeed not been entirely true to his promise.
However, it was naturally impossible for Yue Zhengqi to agree directly.
Yue Zhengqi knew clearly in his heart that with Li Xuan's mere Mingti realm strength, could he really turn the tables?
"Clan Leader Yue, please proceed," Li Xuan said, his ears not missing the implication in Yue Zhengqi's words. In this situation, there was only one path left.
To take Yue Fuyao away relying on his own strength would be wishful thinking.
Not to mention Yue Zhengqi's strength, anyone on the high platform could likely defeat Li Xuan in a single move.
"You have quite the arrogance, which this seat greatly admires. Very well, I shall not make things difficult for you. The original competition rule was for the four clans' disciples to enter the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm for a test. Those who can endure it for three hours will proceed to the second round of duels."
"Since you have appeared now, this test shall be yours. If you can endure for three hours in the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm, this seat will acknowledge your qualification!" Yue Zhengqi declared.
"The Moon Spirit Illusory Realm?! Holy cow, the Yue clan is even bringing out the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm. This Li Xuan probably won't even last half an hour."
"I heard that for Yue clan members to become core disciples, they need to endure for an hour in the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm. The longer the time, the more resources they receive. However, the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm was formed from a Chaos Supreme Treasure, seemingly one of the Yue clan's most prized possessions."
"This Li Xuan is only at the Mingti realm. Isn't the Yue clan bullying him a bit too much? Moreover, even if this Li Xuan endures for three hours, he will only gain the qualification."
"Didn't you hear the clan leader? If this Li Xuan hadn't appeared, the disciples of the four clans competing would also have to go through the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm. Since this Li Xuan is contending for the Yue clan's holy maiden ahead of the competing disciples of the four clans, this test within the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm is within reason."
"..."
As soon as Yue Zhengqi finished speaking, various factions in the Moon Spirit Plaza exclaimed one after another.
Judging by their reactions, the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm was clearly not a secret.
However, from the discussions of the crowd, Li Xuan understood that enduring for three hours in the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm was not easy.
But the situation had reached this point, and Li Xuan had no room to retreat.
"Tsk, tsk, they've even brought out a Chaos Supreme Treasure like Yue Xu. The younger generation of the Yue clan is becoming more shameless by the day. But it's also a good opportunity for this old man to see this kid's potential, saving me some trouble."
The old man in the sky, as if he knew the Yue clan very well, took out a gourd, took a drink, and then looked down at Li Xuan again.
"I hope this time, Clan Leader Yue, you can truly keep your promise." Li Xuan took a deep breath and looked directly at Yue Zhengqi.
Seeing this, Yue Zhengqi didn't waste any more words. With a wave of his hand, a mystical light flew out, and a spatial array gate instantly appeared in mid-air.
Then, he looked at Li Xuan, his gaze clearly indicating that he was waiting for Li Xuan to enter.
"Fuyao, wait for me!" Li Xuan glanced at Yue Fuyao, then his figure moved swiftly, shooting into the spatial array gate.
"He actually went in. I wonder how long this Li Xuan can last."
"In my opinion, Li Xuan can probably only last for half an hour. The Yue clan is such a powerful clan, and the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm is the Yue clan's prized treasure, its power must be extraordinary."
"Although Li Xuan's strength is a bit lacking, he at least has the courage to try. In this regard, I greatly admire him."
"..."
After Li Xuan entered the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm, everyone began to discuss. Although they had to wait for three hours, this amount of time was merely a blink of an eye for spiritual masters.
Hum.
With a humming sound, Li Xuan's figure instantly landed in a swamp. Li Xuan glanced around, and his inner spiritual power quickly circulated, breaking free from the swamp's confines.
"Let's leave this place for now." Li Xuan retracted his gaze, his brow slightly furrowed.
At this point, Li Xuan still had no idea what kind of changes he would encounter in the Moon Spirit Illusory Realm.
Maintaining vigilance was naturally the most reliable approach.
Keeping his spiritual power circulating was the only thing Li Xuan could do at the moment. His thoughts raced, and Li Xuan immediately swept towards the distance.
Boom!
Just as Li Xuan moved, a rumbling sound suddenly erupted. Li Xuan stopped at the sound and looked towards its source.
Upon seeing it, Li Xuan's expression changed drastically.
He saw that from all directions in this space, torrents of rushing water were rapidly approaching.
In just a few breaths, the previous swamps and vegetation were swallowed by the torrents.
Furthermore, there was a corrosive effect within the torrents. The trees and rocks were instantly dissolved.
"Such terrifying corrosive power!" Li Xuan hastily moved upwards upon seeing this.
If he were submerged by this torrent, it would be difficult for him to last long. After all, this was the Eternal Continent, and he was currently in a space formed by the Yue clan's treasured Chaos Supreme Treasure.
In the sky, the old man watched the screen projection appearing in mid-air and murmured, "These torrents cannot be avoided by simply flying up. Little fellow, this old man is curious how long your physical body can endure."
Rumble!
As the old man's words fell, the torrents rushing from all directions began to rise rapidly. Even though Li Xuan had already ascended nearly a hundred meters, the torrents soon reached his feet.
"Damn it!" Li Xuan cursed softly upon seeing this and then shot upwards again.
Boom!
At this moment, a terrifying pressure appeared.
Caught completely off guard, Li Xuan was immediately blasted downwards.
In less than three breaths, Li Xuan's body disappeared into the torrent.
"Brother Xuan!" Yue Fuyao cried out in disbelief.
The restrictions around Yue Fuyao prevented her from moving at all.
Looking at the yellowish-brown torrent on the screen projection, Yue Zhengqi's brow furrowed slightly. "Among our clan members, only those at the peak of the Zhixuan realm or above can safely pass through this time-space torrent."
"I refuse to believe that you, a mere peak Mingti realm cultivator, can survive. Li Xuan, Li Xuan, this is not my fault."
