" Look, Han Cheng already reached the sixth layer while others are struggling to get to the second layer."

" His Dark Sky Demon Ape bloodline is resisting the power of the qilin's suppression. He is even using the suppression to refine his bloodline."

" That's Lao Gang, isn't he? He already stabilized himself at the fourth ring and going to step in the fifth ring."

Lao Gang took a deep breath as he a powerful green aura erupted from his body. Divine aura manifested around him as several jade pillars erupted, imbuing him with immense strength.

" Is that Hundred Jade Pillar Refining Art? Lao Gang already reached the Perfection stage of the technique!"

Lao Gang gnashed his teeth as he could feel the golden jade qi flowing around his body, turning his figure into a divine being. With a humph, he took a step forward and walked closer to the statue.

Meanwhile, Xuan Haoyi raised his hands as his entire body was covered with a flaming scale.

" Xuan Haoyi is using his Flame Qilin Transformation Art. It's one of the powerful Royal grade techniques made by the ancestor of the Imperial Family."

" Look at there! My god, How is that possible?"

" All! All disciples of Four Seasons Valley already crossed the third ring!"

People became shocked when they saw everyone in Four Seasons Valley cross the third ring. 

Although many people were excited when people like Han Cheng, Xuan Hoayi, and Lao Gang made great progress, they weren't particularly surprised. After all, they are the chosen disciples of their respective sects.

However, the situation of Four Seasons Valley is different. After all, the majority who were participating in this trial were ordinary disciples. However, to think where ordinary disciples of other sects are struggling, the girls of Four Seasons Valley have already crossed the passing line of the test.

Not to mention, looking at them, although they seemed to be struggling under the pressure of the statue, they weren't certainly at their limits.

Xia Yuqing and Meng Zhi were stunned when they saw the situation. They knew their disciples had potential, but they didn't know they had this much potential and determination.

" Come on, Sisters! We must strive forward."

" Remember, If we do better, we can ask Senior Brother to reward us!"

" Senior Brother's reward! Senior Brother's praise!"

Chen Yin and Lin Xie have their body burning with the flames of desire, negating the flames of qilin. They encouraged their fellow sisters as their cultivation technique pushed to the maximum limit.

" But what about Senior Brother?" Luo Yingying turned around her head and saw Long Ming standing far away, in the peripheral region.

" Don't worry about him." Chen Yin grinned. " I guess you don't remember what happened in the Wine Gathering?"

Those who went to the Wine Gathering of the Liu Family became amazed as they remembered the scene of Purple Crystal Pavilion.

" Haha, My bad, How can I forget that?"

" Yeah, No need to worry about Senior Brother."

" Hmph, He is pretending as always."

Luo Yingying saw everyone's nonchalant attitude and blind faith towards Long Ming, making her wonder even more. However, she also had faith in him, so she cleared all distracting thoughts and tried to move forward.

Meanwhile, Long Ming finally woke up from his stupor and saw not many cultivators remained in the peripheral area.

" Look! Isn't that the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley?"

" Why hasn't he made a move?"

" Could it be, that winning the first round was a fluke?"

" Maybe? Otherwise why he would stay at the same place, dozing off like that?"

Long Ming's face twitched as he could hear the discussion of the crowd. ' These bastards, They are just waiting for a good show, aren't they?'

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his Desolate Immortal Aura as he walked forward. Soon, he could feel the fiery suppressing force of Qilin Statue as he moved forward.

However, he felt a strange feeling as the aura of the statue started to gather in his body. His Azure Flame Royal body activated, absorbing the surrounding pressure more and more.

' This…I see. The true blood of the ancient qilin is still potent. I can use this aura and temper my Azure Flame Royal Body.' An idea came into his mind as he walked forward.

' No, Too low. The pressure is too low.' Long Ming shook his head as he walked forward at a brisk pace.

" Look! He has started to move!"

" Not bad, He already crossed the first ring."

" Whoa? He crossed the second ring?"

" Th-Third ring?"

The crowd slowly became silent as Long Ming lightly jogged forward, tasting the increase of the pressure from the statue. The Azure Flame Royal Body erupted with its full might as Long Ming increased his pace.

However, he didn't notice the silence of the crowd as he sped up his movements. 

" He…He crossed the fourth ring. How is that possible?"

" Is he carrying some sort of treasure to negate the aura?"

Those from the Imperial Family were shocked when they looked at the scene.

The statue was intimately linked with their own bloodline. So they knew how powerful the bloodline pressure of it. Even the Harmonization Realm cultivator would have difficulties walking toward the statue during its full power.

However, Long Ming walked through the rings like a fish in water, barely affected by it.

While Lao Gang and Xuan Haoyi were struggling, they suddenly saw a figure going past them gracefully.

" Huh? Wh-Who is that?"

Xuan Haoyi staggered, almost getting pushed back by the tidal wave of pressure. However, he could see Long Ming was enjoying the pressure as he moved forward very fast.

' He, He is refining the bloodline pressure and tempering his body?' Xuan Haoyi's eyelid shrunk as he looked at Long Ming.

He knew how difficult and dangerous the process was, even though the reward was paramount. While he was fending off the pressure, Long Ming was using it for his own gain, making him feel jealous.

" That bastard! Damn it!" Lao Gang saw Long Ming as he gnashed his teeth. However, he felt it was exceedingly hard to cross the sixth ring.

" Hm?"

Han Cheng looked beside him and saw Long Ming standing there with a calm face. However, the swirling energy of qilin around him made Han Cheng shocked and curious.

" Is fellow brother from the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire?" He couldn't help but ask in a curious voice. " You have a certain amount of control over the fiery energy of true blood of ancient qilin."

" Well, Not really. I am Long Ming, True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming smiled.

" Long Ming… You won first place in the Illusion Palace round, right?"

" Brother is wise." Long Ming grinned as he stepped forward, throwing Han Cheng behind. " Brother Han, better follow me or you will be far behind."

A surge of fighting power spread in Han Cheng as he pushed his limits and rushed forward, chasing Long Ming.

Long Ming didn't stop as he almost reached near the Qilin Statue. Looking at the burning statue, he could hear the low roars of the divine beast.

'Alright, Time to devour the power of true blood.'

" Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique! Appear!' Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked at the statue.
