My brother is Shi Hao

Keep moving forward, and bright future is in sight

The old voice echoed in the underground space, and a soft light enveloped Shi Yi and Shi Hao, safely carrying them away from the collapsing underground. When the light dissipated, an old man with a sage-like appearance appeared before them, looking at them kindly.

"Thank you for saving our lives, senior!" Shi Yi and Shi Hao saluted quickly.

The old man smiled and said, "Children, no need to be so polite. It is your courage and perseverance that have moved me. I am the guardian of this land. You can call me Elder Yun."

Elder Yun brought them back to the surface and informed them that the Netherworld Cult had been completely wiped out. Shi Yi and Shi Hao finally put their minds at ease, as they had successfully prevented this catastrophe.

After a short rest, Shi Yi and Shi Hao decided to continue their journey of cultivation, and they set their sights on the legendary immortal gate.

The Immortal Gate Trial Ground is located deep within a misty mountain range. To enter the Immortal Gate, one must pass numerous tests. As soon as Shi Yi and Shi Hao stepped into the trial ground, they felt a powerful pressure coming towards them, and the surrounding scenery became distorted.

"Be careful!" Shi Yi grabbed Shi Hao and avoided a sudden lightning attack.

"The natural forces here are so violent!" Shi Hao looked at the ever-changing terrain around him with lingering fear. The towering trees rose from the ground, and were instantly swallowed by the magma underground.

They advanced cautiously, encountering various trials along the way, including violent storms, earthquakes, and endless attacks from demons. Shi Yi's double pupils could see through illusions and foresee danger, while Shi Hao's supreme bone endowed him with immense strength, allowing him to overcome every danger.

During their battle with the demons, they encountered the talented young man Long Fei and the fairy Yue Yao, who had also come to participate in the trial. Long Fei was as fast as a dragon, with sharp sword skills, while the fairy Yue Yao was proficient in various spells and her attacks were strange and unpredictable.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the trial ground of the Immortal Sect!" Long Fei held a long sword and pointed it at Shi Yi and Shi Hao.

"We are just here to participate in the trial and have no ill intentions." Shi Hao explained.

"Hmph, if you want to participate in the trial, you must pass me first!" Long Fei said, and swung his sword to attack Shi Yi.

Shi Yi was not willing to be outdone. His pupils shone brightly, and he saw through Long Fei's attack trajectory and easily dodged the attack.

Seeing this, Fairy Yueyao also joined the battle. For a while, the four of them fought in a group.

The battle lasted for a long time, with both sides displaying their formidable strength, yet it was difficult to determine the winner. Finally, after a fierce collision, the four were knocked back, each looking at the other warily.

"We will meet again!" Long Fei said this and turned away with Fairy Yue Yao.

Shi Yi looked at their departing backs, his eyes gradually becoming profound. He turned to look at Shi Hao, only to find that Shi Hao was lowering his head with his fists clenched, as if he was suppressing something.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yi asked.

Shi Hao raised his head, his eyes full of struggle. He whispered, "Am I... am I holding you back?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shi Yi pressed Shi Hao's shoulders and said firmly, "We are brothers. We have experienced life and death together. How can you say I am holding you back?"

Shi Hao bit his lip. The power of Long Fei and Fairy Yue Yao made him uneasy, and it also reminded him of the time when Shi Yi had taken his Supreme Bone. That memory was like a thorn, deeply embedded in his heart, and he couldn't let it go.

Sensing Shi Hao's dejection, Shi Yi sighed. He knew the knot in Shi Hao's heart, and knew he owed Shi Hao too much. His pupils flickered slightly as he stared at Shi Hao, his tone sincere: "Shi Hao, the past is the past, and we are no longer the same. Brothers, you and I, join forces. What in this world can stop us?"

Shi Hao raised his head and met Shi Yi's sincere gaze. The thorn in his heart seemed to loosen a little. He took a deep breath and nodded. "You're right. Let's work together to become stronger!"

The two smiled at each other, their words speaking volumes. They continued on their journey, supporting each other and facing the challenges of the Road of Trial together.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao stopped in front of a vine-covered cave. The cave entrance exuded an ancient and timeless atmosphere, and faint animal roars could be heard, as if it was hiding some secret.

"It feels very dangerous here, but there may also be opportunities hidden here." Shi Hao looked at the deep cave entrance, eager to try.

"Better safe than sorry." Shi Yi observed his surroundings cautiously, a strange look flashing in his pupils. "There's a powerful restriction at the entrance to this cave. We have to find a way to break it."

After a long period of joint research, they finally found a way to break the restriction. With a rumbling sound, the cave entrance slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.

Inside the cave, they discovered a hidden world. An ancient ruin appeared before them. Amidst the shattered walls, glimmers of its former glory lingered, and ancient runes shimmered, seemingly telling legendary stories.

"This should be the cave of an ancient powerful man!" Shi Hao looked around excitedly, his eyes fell on a stone sword inserted into the ground. The sword body exuded a sharp sword energy, and even after many years, it was still extremely sharp.

"Be careful!" Shi Yi suddenly felt a powerful demonic aura coming from the depths of the ruins. He grabbed Shi Hao and protected him behind him.

A huge black claw emerged from the darkness, slapping them fiercely with a suffocating sense of oppression...

Giant black claws tore through the air, bringing a foul-smelling wind with them. Shi Yi reacted quickly, his pupils gleaming brightly. He pushed Shi Hao away and retreated violently, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Roar!" Amidst a deafening roar, a massive creature emerged from the darkness. It was a demonic being resembling a giant ape, covered in black scales and emitting a frighteningly murderous aura. Its enormous, crimson eyes stared intently at Shi Yi and Shi Hao, as if it wanted to devour them alive.

"Ancient demon!" Shi Yi's heart sank. This demon was clearly not something they could handle right now. But he didn't flinch. A fierce fighting spirit shone through his pupils. With a flash of golden light, a golden halberd appeared from thin air.

"Let's attack together!" Shi Hao also summoned his own treasure, a bone sword with flowing runes on it, emitting astonishing fluctuations.

The two joined forces, engaging the ancient demon in a ferocious, earth-shattering battle. Shi Yi's halberd was unrivaled in power, each swing carrying the force of a world-shattering force; Shi Hao's longsword was incredibly sharp, each slash carrying an unbreakable edge. For a moment, the cave was ablaze with light, and the roar was deafening.

However, the ancient demon was too powerful, and even with Shi Yi and Shi Hao's combined strength, they were still at a disadvantage. During the fierce battle, Shi Yi was swatted away by the demon's claws, crashing heavily against the stone wall and spitting blood; Shi Hao was also swept by the demon's giant tail, his body flying backwards, seriously injured.

Just as the two men were about to collapse, Shi Yi suddenly unleashed an astonishing burst of strength. In his double pupils, it seemed as if two divine suns blazed, illuminating the entire cave. The halberd in his hand also erupted with brilliant light, transforming into a streak of golden lightning that pierced the demon's chest.

"Roar!" The demon let out an unwilling roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a ball of black mist and dissipating.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao both breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Although they had defeated the ancient demon, they had paid a heavy price. Both of them were covered in scars, and their clothes were stained red with blood.

"It's finally over..." Shi Hao said weakly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

However, at this moment, a majestic voice sounded in their ears: "Congratulations, you have passed the first test."

The figure of the Immortal Sect's elder appeared at the entrance of the cave. He looked at Shi Yi and Shi Hao, who were covered in bruises, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"However, the real test has just begun." The Immortal Sect Elder paused and continued, "You must find and destroy the source of evil hidden deep within this trial ground within three days, otherwise you will be trapped here forever!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi and Shi Hao's expressions suddenly became extremely solemn. They were now seriously injured and it was difficult for them to even stand up, let alone complete such a difficult task.

"Are we really going to be trapped here?" Shi Hao muttered to himself, his eyes full of despair.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded in their ears. The voice was ethereal, as if it came from the sky above:

"Child, don't give up hope..."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao suddenly raised their heads and looked around, but saw no one.

"Who is it? Who is talking?" Shi Hao asked in surprise.

The only answer he got was silence...
