After Han Shuo left the Heaven Martial Kingdom, he originally wanted to restore his status as a Tree Demoness, but because of the existence of his Demonic Insect, he was no longer able to serve the Heaven Martial Kingdom.

Originally, he had hoped that Han Shuo could replace Chu Mubai. However, because of his impending doom, he was forced to do so.

Although Chu Mubai had successfully proven himself later on, he could still leave in peace. It was just that he did not expect Chu Mubai to actually say that it had a method to treat the tree demon's demon disease.

Thus, through the matter of treating the demon sickness, Chu Mubai decided to not expose his identity as a tree demon for the time being, and use it as a backup arrangement for the Heaven Martial Kingdom.

When going to the Great Qin Empire, the only reason why Cang Xuan could feel it in time was because Chu Mubai had long predicted that something bad would happen, and arranged for the tree demon to pay a visit to Cang Xuan in advance.

"Master, the demonic plague has been temporarily controlled. I can cultivate my martial arts as I did in the past. As for the matter of its eradication, I'll do it when the time is right."

The tree demon said in a very respectful tone.

The more he interacted with Chu Mubai, the more he could feel the unique charm this wet behind the ears brat had.

His natural talent and intelligence were not inferior to his father's!

"Yes, since the Heaven Martial Kingdom has Cang Xuan over there, it should be fine for now. Why don't you stay here for now. Oh right, there seems to be something fishy with the back mountain of the Martial Ancestor Realm. Do you know anything related to it?"

Chu Mubai said calmly as he tidied up the things in the room.

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere became a little heavy. The tree demon remained silent for a while, but it was not hard to tell that it knew something. Moreover, the mountain behind the Martial Ancestor Realm was definitely not simple either.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Chu Mubai nodded, looked at the tree demon and spoke again.

Then, he frowned and said, word for word, "I don't know much about the Martial Ancestor Realm, but you should have never heard of it. After all, these things were all sealed back in the past, and since I am a demon, I have heard a lot about these things. It was rumored that there was a top rank expert sealed in the back mountain of the Martial Ancestor. They were known as the Scarlet Ghost Demon Dao. What he cultivated was not a secret technique, but a talisman-like technique that was strange and powerful. After a hundred years of recuperation, he regained his former glory. Little master, you should not enter the forbidden area at the back of the mountain. The danger inside is not something that can be compared to a small fight between rank 9 empires. "

After the tree demon finished speaking, it did not forget to warn Chu Mubai. Although they had not been together for a long time, it still had some understanding of Chu Mubai after observing him for a while.

The little mistress had always kept her word, and she would never stop until she reached her goal. The most important thing was that she was never afraid of any unknown dangers!

Therefore, no matter how dangerous the forbidden mountain area behind the Martial Ancestor Realm was, it would not be able to hinder Chu Mubai from entering.

Because it was worried, it had to warn strictly.

After Chu Mubai heard these words, he nodded his head secretly, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light, but that light only flashed for a moment, and quickly disappeared.

Soon after, he nodded his head and replied with a smile, "En, I understand. Don't worry, I will not rush there, you can temporarily find a forest to rest in. When everything is settled, I will come find you."

"Yes, little master."

With that, the tree demon turned and left.

After the tree demon left, Chu Mubai sat in his original spot quietly, as if he had fallen into deep thought. But very quickly, he shook his head, as if he had denied his guess, and went to sleep the next moment.

The next morning, was woken up by the sound of the first ray of light that pierced the house.

Today, he would participate in the second examination of the Martial Ancestor Realm.

The disciple in charge of leading the group had already arrived at the ancient residence and gathered everyone before leaving.

This time around, they were not heading for the Martial Arts Sect's training grounds. Instead, they were heading towards a towering ancient pagoda!

"This is something that belongs to the sect, the Star Pagoda. Anyone who enters can not only increase your cultivation speed, but also stimulate the Astral Souls in your body. It is a sacred item of the sect! But today, you've entered not only for the cultivation of the martial way, but also for the exam! The Star Summoning Tower has seven floors and each floor contains countless dangers. As long as you pass the third floor, you will pass the second trial! This assessment will take a total of five days, and each of you will have a jade stone. If you encounter an unresolvable life or death crisis, you can use the Nirvana Jade Stone to immediately leave the Star Summoning Tower, but at the same time, your assessment will be deemed as a failure! "

The examiner in charge of the second trial was a white-haired old man. He stood beside the Star Summoning Tower with his hands behind his back, and said while looking at the crowd.

After speaking, he waved his hand and the dimensional gate of the Star Summoning Tower slowly opened. A rainbow colored light shot out.

Waves of light breeze swept across, and the ferocious energy swept over like a hurricane. Chu Mubai stood at his original position, and when he felt the energy, he couldn't help but frown;

Other than that, the Devouring Astral Souls and the second Astral Souls were also in a state of upheaval. It could be seen that the Star Summoning Tower was not really a tower with its name, but it did contain some kind of power related to Astral Souls.

The 23 disciples that had passed the examination each took a piece of jade from the old man before entering the Star Summoning Tower one by one.

Although they were only a few seconds apart from each other, the places they were heading to were completely different.

There were several large spatial formations within the Star Summoning Tower, and each one was an existence that fused together with an illusion technique. Thus, the scenes that different people would be able to see after entering were completely different.

By setting up a few more mechanisms within these formations, the so-called assessment system could be formed.

It has to be said that the person who created this tower was intelligent enough, but when Chu Mubai entered, he immediately realized that this tower should have originated from 30,000 years ago, because it contained an aura that only existed 30,000 years ago.

This should be a treasure that was left behind in a great battle.

Chu Mubai did not believe that after he left, the Shen Wu Dynasty's aura had completely collapsed. Since then, countless dukes in the divided cities, in this seemingly simple process, must have had several great and shocking battles that shook the heavens and the earth.

However, since the dynasty had changed, many things could not be recorded down.

Inside the Star Summoning Tower, the moment Chu Mubai stepped into the first floor, what appeared in his eyes was a piece of glacial wasteland.

"The first floor of the Star Summoning Tower should be mainly composed of illusory magic arrays. It should be able to detect the energy that people are most afraid of deep inside their hearts."

Chu Mubai sighed deeply, he could not help but shrink his neck, and said with his brows knitted tightly.

Although this was just his guess, it was still reasonable.

As a cultivator of the fire origin energy, the place he least wanted to go to was naturally the glacier region, and the first level he entered just so happened to be the glacial wasteland.

However, he was curious as to how the temperature came about. Illusions could only affect what the naked eye could see, and the rest should be illusions that affected the senses.

However, Chu Mubai was sure that he would only fall into an illusory magic array, but it was definitely impossible for it to affect his mind.

Therefore, the Star Summoning Tower must be hiding some extremely powerful force, which was why it was able to do this!

Chu Mubai did not ponder too much into it. After all, he was only here to participate in the assessment. The matter regarding the Star Cry Tower did not have much to do with him.

The reason why the rest of the participants were so excited was because the tower's Star Summoning Art had an indescribable effect on them who had awakened their Astral Souls earlier.

However, he had already awakened two Astral Souls and the magical effect of this tower meant nothing to him.

Thinking about it, Chu Mubai did not waste anymore time, he took out the Flame Sword, and started to circulate his Essence and walked forward.

He was safe and sound as he walked forward, but it was as if he had walked into a dead end and couldn't find a way out.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be a maze? It can't be, how could this grand Martial Sect Disciple assessment cause such a thing as a maze? "

Chu Mubai shook his head while muttering to himself, rejecting his initial guess.

However, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

But when he looked around, there was no corner, only a straight line, a line without an end, without an entrance.

"Weird, this matter is too weird."

After trying for another incense's time, to no avail, Chu Mubai decided to stop for now.

He stood still on the spot and looked around. At the same time, he started to constantly ponder the causes and effects of this matter.

"No, since this is a formation, there must be some kind of meaning. Moreover, the Martial Ancestor Realm examination is not as simple as it seems on the surface." Yesterday's test was the foundation of one's knowledge and strength. If one took this test step by step, then the next step would be the test of martial arts talent, or the test of one's heart of martial arts! This Star Summoning Tower was related to Astral Souls, and should not be a test of one's talent in the Martial Dao. Courage, greed, power... "Wait a minute, these are all existences related to the heart of martial arts. Then, just what is this?"

After continuously pondering over it, Chu Mubai had a perfect analysis of the entire matter.

Everything became clear in his mind.
