The Magician of Cultivation

In the ghost fog forest, Li Yu walked forward carefully.

It was quiet all around, with no sound except for the squeaking sound of dead leaves being stepped on.

He had been walking like this for nearly an hour.

With his speed, even if it was slow, he should have been out of the Ghost Mist Forest long ago.

"It should be similar to the methods in the world of cultivation, such as the universe in the sleeve and the Sumeru world," Li Yu thought to himself.

He looked up and saw fog all around.

The road he came from had disappeared, and he was the only one left in the world.

“That feeling of being watched is still there.”

A quarter of an hour ago, he had a vague feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching him in this ghost fog forest.

But no matter how he used his soul power to explore or used the Netherworld Pupil, he could not find the other party.

Suddenly, a strange wave swept over quickly.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then disappeared on the spot.

About a few kilometers away from him, Jin Yuxiu and Guangti also disappeared.

This strange wave spread rapidly in the Ghost Mist Forest.

Xu Jin, Yi Mo and other Toad Ridge bandits were swept by this strange wave and disappeared like them.

The hall was dark and damp. A huge python was coiled in the room, its eyes as big as copper bells, staring at the screen in front of it.

The screen is showing the scene of everyone in the Ghost Fog Forest.

"Hehehe, we finally have a thousand people."

"I wonder how many people can pass this most basic test this time?"

The python monster, complained and sighed:

"The last two times, no one passed."

"Alas, the mission is only completed after we recruit ten people."

"I don't know how long we have to wait for these last two people?"

The giant python is hundreds of meters long and about four or five meters thick, and its body is covered with fine keratin scales.

Its body is green, its head is held high, and its blood-red eyes have inverted dark golden pupils.

Unlike ordinary pythons, this giant python has long tentacles like catfish around its mouth.

It was Qing Min, the dragon guide who blocked Ji Xiaoxiao and Hu Xiner from entering the Ghost Fog Forest.

"I don't see anything special about that child."

The Qingmin guide looked at Li Yu on the screen.

"But for a human of his age, he's pretty good."

"Stay calm and composed, and be able to remain calm in such an eerie and quiet environment."

Over the past hundred years, Qingmin has seen too many people enter the Ghost Mist Forest.

In such an almost dead environment, many of them collapsed, went insane, and even committed suicide.

Compared to them, Li Yu is indeed excellent.

"Forget it, let's see how he performs in the trial later."

Qingmin opened its huge python mouth.

A blue-black ball of light flew out of its mouth and sank into the screen in front of it.

On the screen, Li Yu and the Toad Ridge bandits, who were originally walking cautiously, disappeared.

In the Ghost Fog Forest, in an unknown huge square.

As more than a dozen rays of light lit up one after another, Li Yu and a group of bandits from Toad Ridge were moved here.

"Huh? Not good."

The moment Li Yu landed, he was horrified.

Not far away from him were Jin Yuxiu and Guangti.

When Li Yu looked at them, the two also saw Li Yu.

"Boy, suffer death."

Jin Yuxiu shouted sternly.

She stretched out her five fingers, and a cloud of black smoke came pressing towards Li Yu's head.

Guangzhi didn't know him, but when he saw Jin Yuxiu take action, he immediately realized that the person in front of him was the boy who killed his cousin.

He reacted extremely quickly, and the broadsword behind him instantly appeared in his hand.

He flashed behind Li Yu and swung the broadsword towards his waist and abdomen with a whistling evil wind.

Li Yu was shocked.

Jin Yuxiu and Guangchi are both at the top of their martial arts realms, more than a whole realm higher than him.

How could he be their match if the two of them attacked in anger?

Even if he could see the attack route, he couldn't keep up with the speed and couldn't dodge it at all.

"It's over," Li Yu thought to himself.

Then he calmed down. Since he couldn't avoid it, he decided not to hide.

It has been just over four months since his death and arrival in this strange world.

Maybe after death, we can return to our original world?

Li Yu closed his eyes and waited quietly for death to come.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Three full seconds passed, but the imagined severe pain did not come.

He opened his eyes in confusion.

Jin Yuxiu's palm stopped right in front of him, and her palm was already touching his scalp.

Behind him, the broadsword had already touched the clothes at his waist.

But at this moment, both of them were motionless.

If it weren't for Jin Yuxiu, who was staring at him with her bloodshot eyes, he would have almost thought that the two were dead.

Li Yu found that his body was also like a statue, motionless.

Then he saw a huge python head popping out from behind Jin Yuxiu.

"Mom"

Li Yu's heart was beating wildly.

The green python head stared at him with its fiery red eyes and its mouth slightly open.

You can clearly see in its mouth that its fangs are flashing a green light, its long snake tongue is constantly moving in and out, and its face is hideous and terrifying.

The giant blue python's head slowly approached his cheek, as if it wanted to see through him.

The cold air exhaled from its nostrils hit Li Yu's face, as if whipping him with a steel whip.

"There's nothing special about you..."

The giant python spoke in human language, puzzled.

Its huge python head slowly rose up.

The head and body retracted into the thick fog in the sky, leaving only the face of a python exposed.

It was the Dragon Clan’s guide—Qing Min.

Qingmin opened his mouth and exhaled thick mist.

The fog fell into the square, slowly thinning and dissipating, revealing nearly a thousand humans standing motionless inside.

After one breath.

A faint light shot out from Qingmin's mouth and soon covered the entire square.

The people who had been standing still found themselves able to move.

But before they could make any move, everything went dark before their eyes.

Then I found myself in front of a huge wooden door.

The top of the wooden door extends straight into the thick fog above and is about a hundred meters wide.

The door was covered with countless unknown magic runes, and silver-white lights were winding across it.

There are currently only three levels of stairs.

Each flight of stairs is dozens of meters wide, so even if hundreds of people stand on it, it doesn't seem crowded.

"Welcome to the Dragon Trial."

As everyone looked around, Qingmin's huge python head emerged from the clouds again.

It made a rumbling sound like the beating of a war drum on a battlefield.

"Whether you are willing or not, you must work hard to complete the trial."

It continued, "Once you step into the Ghost Mist Forest, you will have no choice. You either pass the trial or die."

Qingmin's voice gradually turned colder, as if it came from the Netherworld.

"Now, step onto the steps in front of you and accept the first test."

Thick fog came out of Qingmin's mouth again.

The fog surrounded them and the scenery in front of them changed rapidly.

The dense crowd around disappeared.

In the vast universe, there was only me and a wooden door that towered into the sky.

"Step on the stone steps, push open the wooden door, loser - die"

Qingmin's voice was clearly heard by everyone.
