The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

At noon, the sunlight penetrated the clouds like a golden thread, shining on the square of Lingshan College, making the quaint stone road sparkle.

Surrounded by green pines and cypresses, the breeze brings bursts of pine fragrance and fresh spiritual energy, as if even the air is filled with the scent of spiritual practice.

On the high platform, a huge fairy stone stands tall, with runes flowing on it, emitting a faint spiritual light. This is the place where Lingshan Academy’s "Fairy Trial" is held every hundred years.

Today, cultivators from all over the world gathered together to compete for the legendary immortal fate and embark on a higher path of cultivation.

Lingshan Academy's leader, Chen Xuan, stood on a high platform, his eyes revealing extraordinary majesty and gentleness.

He looked around and said in a loud yet gentle voice, "In this trial, a total of nine cultivators have passed the Purple Thunder Trial. Next, please welcome the tenth cultivator—Jin Xi—to the stage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the square instantly became tense. The monks all glanced sideways, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Jin Xi, wearing a golden robe and with golden hair, walked out from Xu Wan's side with steady steps, and every step seemed to resonate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

When he reached the side of Sect Master Chen Xuan, he bowed and said cleverly, "Jin Xi thanks you first, Senior."

After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he actually teleported to stand steadily next to the fairy stone, causing everyone around him to exclaim in amazement.

"Which senior is here to test me?" Jin Xi stood in front of the fairy stone, looked up at the two sides under the platform, his voice clear and confident.

At this moment, the sky suddenly changed, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled.

The monks all talked about it, saying that the speed of the changes in the celestial phenomena was rare.

I saw a figure rising into the air from under the platform, like an eagle soaring into the sky, and landing on the platform in an instant.

The man was carrying a long sword with an ancient scabbard and the sword tassel swaying gently in the wind. It was the leader of the Tianyan Sect - Jun Yan.

"I come."

Jun Yan's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to contain a tremendous amount of force, which made people feel awe.

He walked slowly towards the fairy stone, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring straight at Jin Xi, as if he wanted to see through him.

Jun Yan raised his hand and wrapped a golden calming lock around Jin Xi's hands.

Then another centering lock wrapped around his body.

"Master Jun Yan, who used his sword to draw lightning, is famous in the world of cultivation."

"This... double centering lock... Sect Master Jun Yan is going to use his ultimate move this time..."

Some monks were whispering, their eyes full of awe.

Jun Yan's Lingxiao Sword is not only extremely sharp, but can also mobilize the power of heaven and earth. Its power is evident.

Facing Jun Yan, Jin Xi did not back down, but instead strengthened her belief.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated, spiritual energy surging throughout his body, as if resonating with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

"Are you ready?"

Jun Yan's voice rang in his ears, carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty.

"Ready."

Jin Xi opened her eyes, her gaze firm, and looked at Jun Yan without backing down.

With a crisp sword sound, the Lingxiao sword in Jun Yan's hand was unsheathed, and the sword light was like a dragon, rising straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the thunderclouds that had been brewing in the sky for a long time seemed to have found an outlet, and thick bolts of lightning roared down like giant dragons, heading straight for the Lingxiao Sword.

Jun Yan stretched out his body, like a dragon playing in the water, moving freely among the thunder and lightning.

The Lingxiao Sword in his hand seemed to have life. Every swing was accompanied by deafening thunder. The sword light and lightning intertwined together to form a gorgeous sword net that enveloped the golden light.

Seeing this, Jin Xi felt a little emotional, but he remained expressionless.

He knew very well that at this moment, the only way to have a chance of survival was to give it his all.

So, he mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body, formed seals with his hands, and chanted a spell. Suddenly, powerful spiritual power surged out of his body and turned into light shields that protected him.

Jun Yan pointed his sword at the sky and once again activated the purple thunder. Dozens of lightning bolts came out of the sea like dragons, carrying destructive power and piercing towards Jin Xi's shield.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a tiny crack appeared on the shield, but Jin Xi did not retreat. He gritted his teeth and continued to mobilize his spiritual power, trying to stabilize the shield.

Seeing this, Jun Yan curled up a sneer and swung the Lingxiao sword in his hand suddenly. The sword light was like a rainbow, heading straight for Jin Xi.

Jin Xi's heart trembled, but he was not afraid.

At the critical moment of life and death, the blood in his body seemed to be awakened, and a powerful force surged in his body.

He shouted loudly, jumped up, and at the same time formed seals with his hands, performing the unique skill he had practiced for many years - Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin.

Jin Xi's spiritual power surged wildly, and countless golden sword energies condensed and formed around him, like thousands of swords fired at the same time, rushing towards the overwhelming purple thunder and Lingxiao sword.

The sword light and lightning intertwined and collided in the air, making a deafening sound, and the entire square seemed to be shaking.

In the collision with the purple thunder and Lingxiao sword, the golden sword energy gradually gained the upper hand.

Jun Yan's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Jin Xi to be able to burst out with such powerful strength.

"At such a young age, he has already mastered the art of swordsmanship."

Jun Yan chuckled, but his attack became more fierce.

He attracted more purple thunder, and at the same time, the Lingxiao Sword turned into a stream of light and started a fierce confrontation with the golden sword energy.

However, Jin Xi did not despair because of this.

He has only one belief in his heart: no matter what difficulties he faces, he must persevere.

He continued to mobilize his spiritual power and brought the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin to its full potential.

"Jin Xi, remember, the Purple Thunder Trial not only tests your physical strength, but also your will and understanding."

Yun Che's voice rang out beside Jin Xi's ears, carrying with it an unquestionable majesty.

Jin Xi nodded, took a deep breath, and suddenly jumped into the sky.

He knew that at this moment, he had to go all out in order to live up to everyone's expectations.

In mid-air, Jin Xi and Jun Yan engaged in a fierce confrontation.

Jun Yan was extremely fast and his movements were strange. The long sword in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, and every swing was accompanied by the sound of thunder.

He used his sword to draw lightning, and purple lightning was accurately guided around Jin Xi, trying to defeat him.

Faced with the overwhelming purple thunder, Jin Xi did not retreat.

He was surrounded by golden light, and an ancient and powerful bloodline force was boiling in his body.

Suddenly, his figure changed dramatically, and a huge fire unicorn condensed and took shape behind him. Its golden scales shone brightly in the sunlight, and its eyes burned with flames.

"Roar!"

The Fire Kylin roared towards the sky, its voice shaking the heavens and the earth. It flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, welcoming the baptism of the purple thunder.

Every time a purple lightning fell on the Fire Qilin, it would spark a brilliant spark, but the Fire Qilin seemed to feel nothing. It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the purple lightning one by one.

As the purple thunder continued to pour in, the Fire Qilin's body became more solid and its aura became stronger.

"This... this is the vision of the Qilin swallowing the purple thunder!"

Everyone watching the battle below was shocked. They had never seen such a shocking scene.

"Jin Xi's bloodline is indeed extraordinary."

Sect Master Chen Xuan muttered to himself, with amazement glittering in his eyes.

When the last purple thunder was completely swallowed by the Fire Kirin, the dark clouds in the sky also dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth again.

The Fire Kirin slowly shrank and eventually turned into the appearance of Jin Xi. However, at this moment, his temperament and strength were completely different from before.

“I…I did it!”

Jin Xi shouted excitedly, his heart filled with unprecedented sense of accomplishment and joy.

The monks in the academy were either standing or sitting, their eyes all focused on the high platform. On it, a young boy who was still childish was concentrating with his eyes closed, surrounded by an inexplicable spiritual energy.

The monks talked about it a lot, all of them were amazed at this sudden vision.

"The Qilin is an ancient mythical beast, rarely seen in a thousand years. It is a blessing for us to have appeared in Lingshan Academy today!"

An old monk with white hair and beard stroked his beard and sighed, his eyes flashing with excitement and awe.

"Yes, the appearance of the Qilin is always auspicious. I wonder if this young friend Jin Xi can become the chosen one to lead us in our cultivation?"

Another monk took over the conversation, his tone full of anticipation.

On the high platform, Jin Xi slowly opened his eyes. His clear eyes seemed to contain the sea of ​​stars. He gently raised his hand and touched the air with his fingertips. Suddenly, circles of spiritual power ripples spread out from him, attracting the attention of the surrounding monks.

Jun Yan raised his hand and waved it, and the centering lock wrapped around Jin Xi instantly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Jun Yan took a few steps forward and bowed to Jin Xi, saying, "Jun Yan is delighted to welcome Young Master Qilin. Congratulations on your successful trial and your great improvement in cultivation."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Qilin is an ancient mythical beast, and its bloodline is one in a million. Jin Xi is actually the son of Qilin!

Now even Sect Master Jun Yan is extremely respectful to this young man.

A pleased smile appeared on Yun Che's face, while Xu Wan beside him whispered, "This Jun Yan... is really good..."

Sect Master Chen Xuan walked in front of Jin Xi, holding two crystal clear spiritual fruits in his hands. They were the highest reward for those who passed the trial.

"Young Master Jin Xi,"

Sect Master Chen Xuan smiled, his voice gentle yet powerful, "You have passed the trial with such extraordinary grace. This is truly a blessing for our Lingshan Academy. Come, taste this spiritual fruit that is rarely seen in a thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xi shook her head slightly, and a strange light flashed in her bright eyes.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master, but I don't want to eat spiritual fruit."

There was a hint of determination in his words, which made everyone present look sideways.

"Oh?"

Sect Master Chen Xuan was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Then what reward do you want?"

Jin Xi smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"I want to drink spiritual fluid."

His words were simple and direct, but they caused an uproar among everyone present.

Spiritual liquid is something more precious than spiritual fruit. For practitioners, one drop is equivalent to several months of hard training.

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Chen Xuan burst into laughter, his eyes full of admiration.

"Good! You have ambition! Since you want the spiritual fluid, I will grant you your wish."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the table on the side of the platform, and picked up a bottle of emerald green spiritual liquid from the tray. The spiritual liquid sparkled with an alluring luster in the sunlight, as if it contained endless vitality and power.

Sect Master Chen Xuan handed the spiritual liquid to Jin Xi and said earnestly, "Jin Xi, I hope you will cherish this opportunity and practice diligently. You will become a great man one day."

Jin Xi took the spiritual liquid with both hands, his eyes flashing with gratitude and determination.

"Thank you for your cultivation, Sect Master. Jin Xi will definitely live up to your expectations."

Although his words were soft, each one was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the square.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the square reached a climax.

The disciples all looked at him with envy and admiration, and Jin Xi became the focus of everyone's attention.

He knew very well that this was not just a reward, but also a new starting point on his path of cultivation.

Jun Yan, who was standing aside, sighed inwardly: "Children's words are without restraint. The spiritual liquid is something that both the Sect Master and the Emperor appreciate!" Then Jun Yan turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the high platform.

Jin Xi quickly walked to Xu Wan's side, tugged at her sleeve, and said with a grin, "Hey! Aunt, I guess you're next. Jin Xi is so looking forward to it!"

Yun Che frowned slightly and said sternly, "Jin Xi, you really are a good imitator of Xuan Qing. You're so naughty! You even asked for spiritual fluid to drink!"

Xuan Qing, who was standing next to Jin Xi, lowered his head and remained silent, trying to reduce his presence.
