Inside the Lingering Treasure Mirror.

The middle-aged woman brought Lin Yan to a separate area.

And from the beginning to the end, her gaze never left Lin Yan.

As for Xiao Yanran, who was held in Lin Yan's arms, she didn't even spare her more than a glance.

It was obvious that she showed up before Lin Yan because she was interested in him, but not Xiao Yanran.

Watching this scene, Xiao Yanran was dumbstruck.

"This is where the Star God Sect's trial is held."

The middle-aged woman then pointed her hand to an altar before her.

This altar was four square broad and was about tens of feet high, just like a small hill.

At the front of the altar, there were steps.

Following these steps, one could ascend to the top of the altar.

The middle-aged woman walked to the bottom of these steps and said, "As long as you can follow these steps and walk to the top of the altar, you will pass the trial… But let me remind you, though these steps look ordinary, it is quite tough to climb up. There were seven people who came here to take the test before, and all of them failed in the end."

"Senior doesn’t need to say this. I’m aware that clearing the trial isn’t that easy.”

Though Lin Yan's tone was bland, his eyes that looked at the altar before him were filled with burning heat.

After all, this altar was the only way for him and his sister to live.

No matter what, he must definitely climb it.

In front of the lingering treasure mirror.

Xiao Yanran's pale face was now filled with shame.

‘There would be no empty pie in the sky.’

It was indeed the truth.

Her brother had realized it a couple of ten thousand years ago, but she had been foolish enough to think that she easily joined the Ancient sect without paying any price.

"There are no pies falling from the sky for nothing, but there can be fruitful encounters."

Lin Feng laughed lightly from the side.

He obviously disagreed very much with what Lin Yan said, after all, he had a lot of fruitful encounters along the way.

Until now, he felt that having those fruitful encounters every day should be the norm.

The pie fall from the sky was not as fragrant as fruitful encounters.

The altar of the Star God Sect altar.

Lin Yan hugged his sister tightly, took a deep breath, and then began to climb the altar.

But such a small action almost made him to blacked out and almost fell down.

He had long since reached his limit, and if it were not for his sister's life, he would have fallen to the ground, unable to move even an inch.

The middle-aged woman beside him could also see Lin Yan's poor state.

For some reason, the middle-aged woman had a slight curiosity in her eyes while watching him, and couldn't help but ask asked, "Do you want to take this little girl and climb the altar together? This will greatly increase the difficulty for you to pass the trial."

Lin Yan didn't even hesitate for a moment and said, "I'm with my sister, of course, we have to climb the altar together."

Right now, both of their physical conditions were bad to the extreme.

And only the Star God's power of the Star God Sect could save them.

So he had to take Xiao Yanran with him so that Xiao Yanran could also climb to the top of the altar and become a disciple of the Star God Sect as well.

When the middle-aged woman heard him, she shook her head, and a pill with a clear fragrance appeared in her hand.

"It is an elixir that can ease your injuries, and help you climb the altar."

Saying that, she handed the elixir to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked at the middle-aged woman in surprise.

He thought that an artifact spirit like the middle-aged woman wouldn’t have an independent consciousness at all and would only follow the rules of its creator.

But this act of delivering pills showed that this was not the case.

It seemed that she could see the suspicion in Lin Yan's heart, the middle-aged woman said with an expression that remained unchanged, "I have been here for millions of years. Even my original body, after such a long time, has become weak. I can exist at most a few hundred years, so I want to find a successor as soon as possible. You are the last person I had seen in these hundreds of years … and giving the pill is not considered to be violating the rules.”

"Thank you."

Lin Yan no longer cared to analyze whether what the middle-aged woman said was true or not.

However, after receiving the pill, he didn't swallow it directly, but asked her, "This elixir, can it cure my sister?"

"No, this is for you."

The middle-aged woman slowly shook her head, and her eyes, which had been calm all the time, showed a bit of complexity, "I can never understand the emotions of humans.”

Learning that the pill was ineffective for my sister, Lin Yan simply swallowed it.

As the pill went down his stomach, a refreshing feeling, immediately filled his whole body, and the pain that was coming from his body temporarily disappeared.

The limbs, which were weak, were also suddenly filled with strength.

"It really is a divine elixir … I'm going to start climbing the altar."

Lin Yan was stunned by its effects.

Holding Xiao Yanran, he took a big step towards the altar before him.

Just as he stepped onto the first step of the altar, a powerful force suddenly appeared, pressing him so hard that he couldn’t even move.

It was impossible to even move further.

Even Xiao Yanran who was unconscious seemed to have been affected, and her eyebrows were slightly knitted together.

Under this terrible pressure, Lin Yan stepped forward and crossed the first step little by little.

Though it was a total distance of more than ten feet to reach the top of the altar, this distance was like a cliff in the sky, making it extremely difficult to even take a step forward.

What's more.

At this moment, Lin Yan was still holding Xiao Yanran in his arms.

As Xiao Yanran was not yet ten years old, her body was small and didn’t have much weight.

But now, she had turned into a mountain.

A really heavy mountain.

It was like Lin Yan was holding a mountain and climbing the altar.

Puff! Puff!

With two slight sounds, the wounds on Lin Yan's body were actually pressed by this pressure and burst open.

The blood trailed down from it and spread along with the place he walked, …all the way towards the top of the altar.

This path of trial had turned into a blood road.

The Linglong Treasure Mirror.

The crowd all stared at the video before them with rapt attention.

In their eyes, it is as if there was no longer viewed him as a heavenly emperor, but instead, as a young man who was fighting to save his sister.

Seeing the atmosphere turned a little heavy, someone said with a smile, "You guys, it considered that the Heavenly Emperor moved a stone to beat his own feet this time. Even though he worked hard to pass the trial, I can’t wait to see when the artifact spirit discovered Miss Yanran is more suitable to become the descendant of the Star God Sect. I can't wait to see what expression he was going to make. ”

Xiao Mei raised her brows and said, “He deserves it. ”

With them speaking one after another, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Many people had smiles at the corners of their mouths, waiting to see Lin Yan's efforts in the mirror go vain, and see the embarrassment of when he was unable to join the Star God Sect.

Contrary to the crowd, Xiao Yanran was sad.

But at this moment, there was also a faint expectation inside her heart.

"Unfortunately I was unconscious when my Supreme Bone was activated and I still don't know how my Supreme Bone was activated at the time.”
