After Xiao Jinting and the others arrived at the empty space outside the inner city, they settled down in the place of Green Cloud Immortal Sect and cultivated with the local rich spiritual Qi.

The inner city was shrouded in a huge restriction spell. Someone tried to break it but got killed by the spell. As time went by, the light of the restriction spell became dimmer.

“The restriction spell seems to have weakened.” Chen Xu looked at it and said.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “It seems so. The restriction spell will be broken in a while.”

As time went by, more and more high-level cultivators arrived in the secret realm, and the major sects were guarding against each other.

Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and said, “Don’t you know about the situation in the inner city?”

Chen Xu shook his head and said, “There are very few people who have entered the inner city since ancient times. In addition, the information is highly confidential in the major sects, who would not spread it out.”

Chen Lifeng was just a free-lance cultivator, so it was not easy for him to obtain secrets of the outer layer of the realm. Although he had gathered some information about the inner city, it was not specific enough to be their valuable reference.



Two months later.

“The restriction spell is broken.”

A crowd of cultivators swarmed into the inner city, afraid that the golden opportunity would be snatched by others if they were slower.

There were twelve passages leading into the inner city. Xiao Jinting and his teammates stayed away from the major sects and chose the passage of fire.

The passage brought them to a desert.

“What’s going on? There is a desert in the secret realm.” Xiao Jinting looked at the ten suns in the sky and felt frustrated. He had never seen ten suns on the Earth, but now he saw them here. ‘It’s boiling hot here. Where is Hou Yi (A legendary archer who had shot down nine suns in ancient time)?’

Chen Xu looked at the suns in the sky and said, “I heard that one has to pass various tests before he enters the inner city. I think this is one of the tests. We have to get out of this desert.”

“Has your grandfather mentioned this test?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.

Chen Xu shook his head. “No, Grandfather doesn’t know much about it.”

Xu Muan looked at the suns in the sky and frowned, “The suns seem to contain fire poison.”

Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes. If we can’t go out of the desert, we will die here.”

Xiao Jinting took out two umbrellas and handed them to Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu. The umbrellas were made with Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo, and Xiao Jinting painted them red. He wasn’t sure if Chen Xu would recognize them after he painted the umbrellas. However, the suns were so scorching that Chen Xu couldn’t hold on for long, so Xiao Jinting had to take the risk.

Chen Xu held the umbrella and felt amazed. He had quite a few magic tools with him, including the one that could handle this situation. However, he knew very well that his magic tools had a limited effect. This umbrella was different, which protected him from the suns. He felt much better and safer in the protection of the umbrella.

Xiao Jinting made a total of three umbrellas and gave one to each of the two young men, so he had to share the last umbrella with Xu Muan.

Chen Xu looked at Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan and gave a meaningful smile. “Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xu, you get along so well.”

Xiao Jinting glanced at him and said, “Of course.”



They walked in the desert for a month and met many cultivators who perished in the heat.

When he met those dead cultivators, Xiao Jinting did not hesitate to take away their space ring, as he would not waste anything.

Some cultivators saw their umbrellas and attempted to snatch them, but they got killed by Xiao Jinting and the others.

Chen Xu squatted down and examined the dead body on the ground. “This man seems to be Lin Yan from the Blazing Fire Sect. He was an advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator. I didn’t expect him to die here.”

Chen Xu pursed his lips. They had been in the passage of fire for a long time and met some cultivators, most of whom were disfigured by the sun burn.

Xiao Jinting examined Lin Yan’s space ring and said, “There is nothing decent in his space ring.” It was stupid of Lin Yan to try to resist the suns with his body. As a result, he died.

Chen Xu glanced at Xiao Jinting and said, “Mr. Xiao, most Foundation Establishment cultivators are very poor.” He turned the umbrella in his hand and continued, “Even a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to afford this umbrella of yours.” Chen Xu looked at the umbrella in his hand and couldn’t figure out what it was made from.

He thought to himself, “If it weren’t for the defensive effect of this umbrella, I might have been burnt into a mummy long ago. My cultivation level is too low compared to other people in the secret realm.”

Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “It’s good that you are safe.”

“This is the eleventh person that we have met in this desert who died of sun burn.” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Xiao Jinting took out three bottles and said, “Drink some water.”

They took the water in turn.

“Hold on for a while and we can go out of the desert.” Xiao Jinting said.

Chen Xu nodded and said, “That’s right.” He took a sip of water and felt the rich spiritual Qi in the water, feeling amazed.

“I think this desert might not really exist. It’s just a test. Maybe we just need to wait a few days and then we will pass this test and get teleported out.” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Chen Xu nodded and said, “It is possible.”
