With a long bell ringing, the trial of the Immortal Cultivation Sect officially began.

The trial site is located in a mysterious area in the back mountain of the sect, called "Shadow Secret Realm".

This place is shrouded in clouds and mist, with towering ancient trees, and contains countless unknown dangers and opportunities.

The disciples gathered in the square at the entrance of the secret realm, surrounded by towering stone pillars carved with ancient runes, emitting a faint spiritual light, as if guarding the peace of this land.

There was an indescribable feeling of oppression in the air, making everyone's breathing heavy.

Master Su Yi stood in the center of the square, holding an ancient long sword, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning every disciple present.

He said in a deep voice: "This trial will not only test your cultivation and strength, but also your wisdom, courage and teamwork. Remember, the secret realm is full of dangers. Only by unity can we overcome all difficulties."

Following the order, the disciples entered the secret realm one after another. As soon as they entered, the scene before them changed drastically.

The originally dim sky suddenly became bright, and the surrounding scenery became colorful, as if entering a whole new world.

Shen Yue followed closely in the team, feeling both nervous and excited.

She looked around carefully, afraid of missing any clues or danger.

Suddenly, a low roar was heard!

Immediately afterwards, a huge monster rushed out from the dense forest and headed straight towards the team.

The disciples drew their swords and engaged in a fierce battle with the monster.

In the tense atmosphere of the trial, Shen Yue's heart gradually drifted away from the team.

She looked around at the disciples who were crowded around her, and each of their faces was filled with determination and expectation.

Although my injuries have healed on the surface, the fear and weakness in my heart are still lingering like a shadow.

Shen Yue's eyes swept across those powerful opponents, especially when her gaze inadvertently met Bu Ze, a chill instantly surged into her heart.

The painful memory of that sad time resurfaced, causing her to shudder involuntarily.

"With so many people, can I... can I really do it?"

Shen Yue muttered to himself, and a strong desire to escape arose spontaneously.

She looked up into the distance, imagining escaping from this place of trial and returning to that safe and quiet cottage, where there was no competition, no danger, only peace and tranquility.

"Maybe, I'm not the only one..."

This thought flashed through Shen Yue's mind. She began to quietly retreat, trying to slip out of the crowd without attracting anyone's attention.

Her steps were light and cautious, and every step seemed to silently tell of her anxiety and determination.

However, just as Shen Yue was about to disappear at the edge of the crowd, a warm and strong hand gently rested on her shoulder.

Shen Yue turned around suddenly and saw Ye Li standing behind her, with concern and encouragement in her eyes.

"Shen Yue, where are you going?"

Ye Li's voice was gentle and firm, as if she could see through Shen Yue's inner struggle.

Shen Yue was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said hesitantly: "I... I just feel... I feel that it is safer over there..."

When Shen Yue was about to take a step to escape, a complex emotion flashed in Ye Li's eyes, and finally turned into a sneer.

She quickly and accurately grasped Shen Yue's intention, and said to Shen Yue with an unquestionable firmness in her voice:

"Shen Yue, you must not run away from the battlefield."

These words, like a sharp blade in the cold wind, instantly pierced the bubble of hesitation and escape in Shen Yue's heart.

Shen Yue's body trembled slightly, and she felt the power and weight in Ye Li's words.

She looked up at Ye Li, whose eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Shen Yue's cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot, and a feeling of shame and unwillingness surged in her heart.

"I...I didn't want to escape..."

Shen Yue's voice was trembling, but she tried to make herself look more resolute, "I'm just... just a little scared."

After hearing this, Ye Li's sneer turned into a gentle smile. She gently patted Shen Yue's shoulder and said earnestly: "It is normal to be afraid, but we can't give up because of fear. Remember, the road to immortality is full of unknowns and challenges. Only by facing them bravely can we continue to grow. I believe in you, Shen Yue, you can do it."

Shen Yue was not afraid of those monsters. What she was really afraid of were the people who had killed her.

She clenched her fists tightly, as if to cheer herself up, then took a deep breath and stood up straight again.

"Thank you, Ye Li. I won't run away."

Shen Yue took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination.

She took a step forward and returned to the front of the team, where the monsters posed the most direct threat.

At this time, the roar of the monster once again resounded through the valley. Its huge body was looming in the mist, and every charge was accompanied by earth-shaking momentum.

Ye Li had already stood at the forefront of the battle. She held a long sword in her hand, with the sword light shining like weaving. Every strike was precise and powerful, and she engaged in a fierce confrontation with the monster.

"Shen Yue, be careful of its sharp claws!"

Ye Li did not forget to remind Shen Yue during the intervals between battles. At the same time, her figure shuttled between the attacks of the monsters like a dragon, showing amazing body movements and sword skills.

Shen Yue tightly grasped the magic weapon in her hand. Although she was still frightened, her movements were extremely decisive.

She used her understanding of spells to continuously launch attacks, trying to relieve the pressure on Ye Li and other teammates.

Every time she casts a spell, she transcends herself and overcomes her fear.

"I can't back down, I have to prove my strength!"

Shen Yue muttered to herself, her eyes gradually becoming sharp and resolute.

During the battle, Shen Yue, Ye Li and other teammates formed a tacit cooperation.

Some of them were responsible for restraining the monsters, while others took the opportunity to launch a fatal attack.

Shen Yue used his flexibility and wit to create counterattack opportunities for his teammates many times.

The roar of the monster gradually became rapid and angry.

It obviously did not expect that these seemingly weak cultivators could pose such a great threat to it.

However, Shen Yue and her teammates did not let down their guard.

They united more closely and resisted the fierce attacks of the monsters together.

As time went by, the monster's attack gradually weakened, and many scars were left on its body.

Finally, after a joint attack by Ye Li and Shen Yue, the monster let out an earth-shaking howl, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

The battle was over, Shen Yue and his teammates looked at each other and saw the joy and pride of victory in each other's eyes!

Disciples continue to move forward!

No one is waiting for Shen Yue!
