The only one standing at the forefront, the graceful young woman, had a clear and fresh face, with no mask to cover it, exuding a hint of allure and mystery from head to toe.

Not far beside her, stood another woman dressed in a blue lily gown, with slender waist, her face veiled by white gauze, not revealing her features.

Although the two were unique, the aura they exuded was extraordinarily strong, making the few masked people nearby tense and solemn, all standing silently in place.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng swiftly approached the mountain, descending towards this spot.

Upon seeing the Kui Niu Treasure in his hand, the graceful young woman smiled radiantly and spoke in a soft, enchanting voice, "Congratulations to the guest for obtaining the opportunity bestowed by the Immortal Master. From now on, the guest is an esteemed visitor of our Hundred Herbs Heaven. My humble self offers my respects!"

With that, the graceful young woman bowed slightly in courtesy.

After Zhao Sheng clasped his hands in return, he said, "The Shopkeeper is too kind. I have countless unresolved doubts and hope the Shopkeeper can enlighten me."

The graceful young woman chuckled, "The various doubts of the Taoist friend, my humble self will answer one by one. But now, the esteemed guests have not yet gathered, I ask the Taoist friend to patiently wait for a moment."

Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered as he nodded and said, "If that's the case, I don't mind waiting for a moment."

Upon saying that, he walked to a deserted corner and quietly waited like the others.

However, soon various sights fell on him, or rather, they focused entirely on the Kui Niu Treasure in his hand.

Among these gazes, some were evidently curious, some carried full malice, and others brimmed with ruthless cold-bloodedness.

Sensing the glances of the people nearby, Zhao Sheng quickly pondered and then put the Kui Niu Treasure on his face.

As soon as this treasure touched his skin, it immediately emitted an indescribable wave of will, instantly merging with Zhao Sheng's Will Field.

In an instant, Zhao Sheng felt his "vision" become infinitely broad, his Will Field increased several times, and even the suppressive forces around disappeared instantly.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a great urge, as if just a thought could condense from the void a unique Will Dharma Form and most likely condense into the form of the Kui Niu Divine Beast.

Zhao Sheng's heart skipped a beat, but he did not succumb to this impulsive thought, instead forcefully suppressing it and restraining the urge to remove the Kui Niu Treasure.

After a tea later, a large Nine-winged Wusu Dharma Form rushed out of the boundless Cloud Sea, ignoring the surrounding suppressive forces, flying directly over Ling Mountain's upper sky, and soon landed on the open ground in front of everyone.

As the light from the Dharma Form receded, a tall man nearly a zhang high appeared in place, wearing a wide cloak and a Wusu Divine Bird Treasure on his head.

The moment he landed, he immediately walked forward and bowed to the graceful young woman.

The latter nodded at him, and after they exchanged a few simple words, the tall man stood aside.

Zhao Sheng scrutinized the newcomer for a few moments, already certain that this person was the sickly looking tall man wearing a forehead guard among the previous three.

Immediately after, in the eastern sky, another figure suddenly swept through the Cloud Sea, landing halfway up Ling Mountain. Before everyone appeared a slim man wearing a Soaring Snake Treasure on his head.

This person held a large, exaggerated giant axe in his arms, it was the one-eyed old man among those three.

The successive appearances of the two merely prompted the remaining people present to raise their heads and glance at them, but Zhao Sheng was wary of the two, faintly feeling they were very dangerous.

Nonetheless, Zhao Sheng's thoughts churned internally, yet he did not reveal the slightest peculiarity outwardly.

The person holding the giant axe did not recognize Zhao Sheng, as Zhao Sheng had already put on the mask beforehand.

But the sickly-looking tall man had his gaze occasionally fall on Zhao Sheng, his eyes flickering, seemingly recognizing him, yet his thoughts were uncertain.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and two more people arrived successively.

At this point, there were already seven "fortunate ones" who had gained opportunities here.

The graceful young woman glanced around the circle and then looked at the veiled woman, the two exchanged secret whispers.

The graceful young woman immediately addressed the seven present, "Alright, esteemed guests have gathered. My humble self now announces the Immortal Master's final test. Whoever can ultimately retrieve the Spirit Core of this Grotto Heaven can enter the Immortal Master's sect and obtain the Immortal Technique. The Spirit Core is currently hidden somewhere in this Xuankong Mountain, feel free to use any means necessary to find that Spirit Core."

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits rose steeply, quickly distancing themselves from others while condensing their respective Divine Beast Dharma Forms.

However, Zhao Sheng did not reveal his Will Dharma Form.

He scanned the other six people and suddenly discovered a secret. That is before entering the Grotto Heaven, none of those who had already condensed their Will Dharma Forms appeared here.

As a melee seemed inevitable, Zhao Sheng stood motionless, suddenly asking, "Shopkeeper, is it permitted to withdraw voluntarily?"

"Of course! If the esteemed guest does not wish to join the Immortal Venerable's sect, you may leave here at any time. Does the esteemed guest wish to withdraw?" The graceful young woman replied.

"No, I was just asking casually." Zhao Sheng hesitated and then shook his head, suddenly changing his mind.

"Then... the esteemed guest may proceed as you wish." The graceful young woman said after which she pulled the veiled protagonist aside, their figures gradually hidden and vanished.

"Boy, this is not a place you should be. If you don't want to die without a trace, better withdraw early. Otherwise... hum!"

Zhao Sheng's earlier "soft" behavior immediately attracted the attention of a villain intent on picking a soft target to bully.

This person wore a Ba Snake mask on his face, and his Will Dharma Form was notably a gigantic snake head, its mouth wide open, pitch black and deep like a black hole.

"This old man did not intend such, but some people... don't know their place..."

Zhao Sheng lightly commented, stepping in the Void with one step, his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.

Then, hundreds of feet away, the sound of roaring erupted suddenly, and countless fine golden light and dense black feathers collided in the sky; almost instantly, thousands of collisions occurred, sending ear-piercing sharp sounds that shook the nearby Void furiously.

"Xue Tan, how about the two of us teaming up?"

Seeing others quickly pairing up with opponents and engaging fiercely.

The sickly-looking tall man named Chong Xuan slightly twisted his neck, suggesting to the one-eyed old man opposite.

After speaking, he flicked his wrist, and a black Snake Blade appeared in his palm, his Will Dharma Form enveloping his body, carrying him into the mid-air.

"Hahaha, with our teamwork, I believe it won't take long to clear out a bunch of small fry."

The one-eyed old man holding the giant axe laughed arrogantly, waving his single hand.

At this point, there were already seven "fortunate ones" who had gained opportunities here.

The graceful young woman glanced around the circle and then looked at the veiled woman, the two exchanged secret whispers.

The graceful young woman immediately addressed the seven present, "Alright, esteemed guests have gathered. My humble self now announces the Immortal Master's final test.
