On the tenth day of the test, on the tranquil grassland of the Wasteland, a massive blood-red cocoon was quietly standing. Its surface was smooth and tightly sewn, tightly trapping the aura within the cocoon without a shred of it spreading out.

"Crack crack crack!"

At this moment, a sound like an egg breaking a shell broke the silence. The blood cocoon suddenly shattered from the inside out.

There, a pitch-black figure appeared.

This figure was currently sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. A layer of black, glossy and viscous substance completely covered his body. As a breeze blew past, a pungent stench spread out, causing one to feel nauseous.

Swish!

In the next moment, the figure opened his eyes wide. A sharp light shot out from his pupils like an electric arc, and disappeared in a flash.

Deep within the eyes of this figure, flames could be seen pulsating within his pupils. The flames were as scarlet as fire, giving off an indescribably demonic feeling.

This figure was Cang Yun. Ever since he had taken the fire lotus seed and accidentally triggered the cleansing of meridians, about five days had passed. The current him had finally completed this process.

"Ugh …"

Cang Yun's consciousness returned. When he saw the layer of filth on his body and the pungent stench, he could not help but vomit.

In the next moment, he didn't have time to check his body. Barely wearing his clothes, he flew out with a 'swoosh' sound. He then followed the perception of his spirit power and rushed towards a lake.

Along the way, a fishy smell drifted far away. Many Spiritual Beasts could not help but cover their faces as they fled …

After a while, Cang Yun finally arrived at a small stream and jumped into it.

Layers upon layers of ripples spread out as a mass of black oil rapidly spread out. In a short period of time, the originally clear stream had turned into a puddle of stinky water. The great effect was probably comparable to that of a poisonous substance …

After a long time!

With a crashing sound, Cang Yun shot from the stream to the shore. He was in no hurry to put on his clothes. Instead, he started to examine his current body.

The water droplets rolled down as if they couldn't find any point of force on his smooth skin. It was as if the water droplets were flowing down his skin.

Under the illumination of the sun, his body reflected a jade-like luster, white and flawless.

He looked within his body, and his innumerable meridians intertwined. They were like the most beautiful jade coral, thick and flexible, with Origin Energy surging within. It gave him an indescribably comfortable feeling.

At the end of his meridians, his dantian had also undergone great changes. It was like a field that had just been watered by rain, exuding vitality, and the 'Spirit Accumulation' had also been nourished, becoming stronger and clearer.

"The legendary 'Purification' is indeed powerful!"

Cang Yun put on his clothes and clenched his fists. He could feel a majestic power coming from his body. He sighed in admiration as he felt extremely excited in his heart.

Weng! *

With a punch, crackling sounds could be heard from his body. Space itself seemed to tremble! He did not use any Origin Energy. This was the result of his body reaching a certain level of strength.

Legend has it that when a fleshly body reaches Saint level, a single fist strike can cause the fleshly body to be like thunder, capable of shaking all the Heavens!

The small sound coming from Cang Yun's body was naturally unable to compare to his lightning-fast body, but there were faint signs of it happening. If he continued to refine and strengthen himself, he might be able to reach that level one day.

"My physical strength has greatly increased, my meridians have widened, my cultivation has increased, and my soul has also received a certain amount of tempering. This can be said to be the most comprehensive improvement I have ever experienced in my entire life!"

"As expected, the harvest is proportional to the risk. This time, I'm risking my life to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth. It's completely worth it!"

The harvest this time could be said to have greatly surpassed Cang Yun's expectations. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a heaven-defying lucky chance!

BOOM!

At this time, the space around him suddenly shook. Cang Yun could feel a repelling force gradually expanding around him.

"The second stage of the test is over!"

Cang Yun did not resist the repulsive force as he lightly muttered to himself. After which, he allowed the power to send him out.

Within the immortal palace, on a flat stone platform.

At this moment, ripples appeared in the air, and figures appeared above the stone platform. These figures had young and tender faces and were dressed in different colored martial robes. They were the disciples of the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy who were participating in the Immortal Palace test.

After the second stage of the exam was over, everyone was gradually sent to this place.

"Where is this? Has the second stage of the exam ended?"

"Have we advanced?"

At this time, the people who had just been sent out were still confused. There weren't many people around them. They didn't know if they had been eliminated or if they had already advanced.

Weng! *

Right at this moment, the space vibrated, and a powerful aura suddenly appeared.

People watched...

"It's Xu Guang!"

"It's actually him. So you're saying that we all advanced?"

Many people were overjoyed. With Xu Guang's strength, he would not have been eliminated in the second stage, so they, who were on the same stage as Xu Guang, finally felt more at ease.

"You haven't even announced your results and you're already certain that you've advanced? That guy might not even be able to pass it himself! " In the crowd, a teenager glanced at Xu Guang and said with a pout.

This young man speaking, was none other than Cang Ling.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Guang's eyes turned a little gloomy. However, he taunted Cang Ling with a smile. He did not utter a single word. Evidently, he did not place Cang Ling in his eyes.

"What are you saying, Senior Brother Xu Guang can't level up?" "Without mentioning anything else, in the first stage, senior brother Xu Guang had obtained an outstanding result. How could any of us compare to him?"

"Heh, in my opinion, your young master of the Vastheaven World probably won't even be able to pass the first stage, right?"

Xu Guang did not say anything, but from the crowd, a disciple of the Netherworld Realm jumped out. He looked at Cang Ling and spoke with a mocking tone.

"What? Excellent result?"

"Amazing, there's no way for us trash to compare at all …"

"What rubbish, you're the f * cking trash!"

"Eh, a slip of the tongue …"

The crowd was amazed, and they looked at Xu Guang with eyes full of worship. In the world of martial dao, the strong were respected everywhere.

Hearing the praises of the crowd, the youth from the Netherworld became even more elated, as if the person being respected was him.

"How is it, you have nothing to say right? To dare to slander our senior brother Xu Guang, you are simply seeking your own disgrace! "

Cang Ling smiled faintly but was not annoyed, "You are so professional in kneeling. I am thinking, are you a person from the Underworld or a dog from Xu Guang's world? Aren't you afraid that Master Rosella will be unhappy if you do this? "

"You …" "Hmph, stop trying to sow dissension here. I'm from the Netherworld, but I admire Senior Brother Xu Guang's strength. These two things don't conflict at all."

"On the other hand, you, your master has already been eliminated, yet you're still forcing yourself to stay here? Don't you feel embarrassed?"

"Are you going to decide whether we get eliminated or not?" Cang Ling sneered.

"Hoh, you are truly confident. You think that with your cultivation of the third layer of the Azure Cloud Secret Treasure, you can pass?" The disciple of the Netherworld Realm also laughed, but it was an extremely disdainful laugh.

Cang Ling did not suspect Cang Yun's strength in the slightest. After all, Cang Yun had used his own strength to kill three people from the Nether Realm, and two of them were even at the fourth stage of the Hidden God Realm. If he could not even pass the first stage with this kind of strength, then it was really a wonder.

"You're not talking? "Haha, it's bad luck to have met such a master. All by himself, I've thrown away all my face. Tsk tsk, what a pity …" Seeing the Azure Spirit not saying anything, the disciple mocked and ridiculed even more.

At this moment, the space vibrated as a beautiful silhouette floated down, accompanied by her sweet and gentle voice.

"Be careful of your mouth. My Vastheaven Realm's Young Master is not someone that you can comment on."

This was a young girl with fair skin and eyes like autumn water. Her entire body emitted the aura of a scholar with a pure blue heart. She indifferently looked at the disciple from the Netherworld Realm who spoke.

However, it was precisely because of this sharpness that made her demeanor even more harmonious, causing many people to be dumbstruck.

"It's Cang Yue!"

"One of the two school flowers of the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy …" "Heh heh, even if I die, I'll still be willing to give up my peony flower with this temperament …"

The crowd was shocked. This young girl was Cang Yue, her beauty had long left a good reputation in the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy.

At this time, Xu Guang, who had been indifferent all this while, also had a slight change in his expression. His eyes revealed an extremely deep burning sensation, he glanced at the Netherworld disciple that still wanted to speak, and lightly said: "Alright, there's no point in speaking anymore. The true power of being strong is not something you can say with your mouth."

"Brother Xu Guang is right." He clearly knew that in today's Azure World, the person that he could not offend the most was not Cang Yun, but the seemingly weak young girl in front of him.

After all, the power of the school belle was not something one could talk about. Offending her would result in the deaths of tens of thousands of enemies!

"Junior Sister Cang Yue, why are you holding yourself back? As far as I know, you are not a member of the Cang family, so Cang Yun is not your Young Master. You don't need to trouble yourself over unrelated people."

"Surnamed Xu, what do you mean?" Cang Yue is surnamed Cang, how is it possible that you are not a member of our Cang Family? " Hearing this, the spirit immediately became furious as it stood up and argued.

Xu Guang glanced at Cang Ling indifferently, killing intent flashed in his eyes as he mocked: "Your Cang family has such a broad definition. Don't tell me that as long as you have Cang, you belong to the Cang family of the Vastheaven Realm?"

"You …"

Cang Yue extended a hand to interrupt him just as she was about to retort: "I have been a member of the Cang Family since I was young, and the Cang Family has raised me up for seventeen years, so I am naturally a member of the Cang Family. As for Cang Yun, she is also the only one I recognize as my Young Master, and she is not someone that can be changed with just a few words."

His voice was calm, but anyone could hear the determination in it.

"Only one?" He drooled over Cang Yue's beauty and had long treated the latter as a forbidden woman. But now, the woman he loved, regarded other men so highly, and what was even more hateful was that this man was his greatest enemy in his life. How could Xu Guang not be angry?

In this world, the true reason came from strength. He believed that as long as he ruthlessly trampled Cang Yun under his feet, at that time, Cang Yue's thoughts would naturally change because of this.
