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

At the hour of Yin, the Lingshan College Square was shrouded in morning mist, and all things were just waking up.

The melodious bell sounds penetrate the mist and echo on the top of Lingshan Mountain, announcing the beginning of a new day.

On the high platform, Sect Leader Chen Xuan sat alone on the throne, his face majestic yet gentle.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything in the world.

The seat next to him was empty. That was where his close friend Yun Che had been sitting for the past three days. The two of them had raised their glasses to drink spiritual liquid together, chatting and laughing happily.

But today, Yun Che is not here, leaving behind only a faint sense of longing.

Xu Wan was adopted as the adopted daughter of Sect Master Chen Xuan because of her outstanding performance in the Purple Thunder Trial yesterday. At this moment, she stood quietly beside Chen Xuan, without saying a word, but she had an extraordinary temperament.

Her eyes flickered with anticipation for unknown challenges and a slight adaptation to her new identity.

"Aunt, where is the Emperor?"

A crisp voice broke the silence. Jin Xi ran to Xu Wan and asked curiously.

Xu Wan smiled helplessly and replied softly, "He had to go back to the Biluo Palace for urgent matters."

Her tone was calm, yet it carried a subtle hint of worry, clearly a touch of unease about Yun Che's absence.

As Sect Master Chen Xuan finished speaking, three teams of monks stood in three neat rows on the square. They wore clothes of different colors, representing the glory and heritage of the three major sects.

In the center of the academy, flags are flying and swords are flashing, creating a vibrant scene.

After morning exercises, Sect Master Chen Xuan slowly stood up. His voice resounded like thunder across the square: "Today, we will conduct the second round of entry-level trials—the battle against the White Tiger! The rest of the Lingshan disciples will return to their respective academies for classes and training."

Chen Xuan's voice was steady and powerful, as if it could penetrate everyone's heart.

After he finished speaking, the eyes of several disciples who had successfully passed the Lingshan Purple Thunder Trial flashed with excitement. They knew that

The upcoming journey to the misty forest will be an important test on their path of cultivation, and it will also be an ultimate test of their own strength and will.

They came forward one after another and surrounded Chen Xuan, each of their faces filled with determination and expectation.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then took out a number of tokens that were shining with faint light from his sleeve and distributed them to them.

These tokens are the credentials for entering the Misty Forest and also the signals for them to ask for help in times of crisis.

Following an order, the ten people who participated in the first round of the Purple Thunder Trial, led by Sect Master Chen Xuan, marched towards the back mountain in a mighty manner.

Xu Wan followed Chen Xuan, feeling both excited and nervous.

As the newly adopted daughter of Sect Master Chenxuan, she not only has to prove her own strength, but also has to bring honor to Sect Master Chenxuan.

After passing through the lush woods, everyone finally arrived at the edge of the misty forest.

Here, there is an indescribable sense of oppression in the air, as if even breathing has become heavy.

Sect Master Chen Xuan stopped, turned around and said to everyone, "Remember, the trial may be difficult, but life is more precious. If you encounter an enemy you cannot resist, you must prioritize your own safety."

The first ray of morning sunlight penetrated the mist and gently brushed the ancient stone tablet of Lingshan College, covering this historic institution with a layer of golden gauze.

The Misty Forest, as the most mysterious existence behind the academy, ushered in its most extraordinary moment today - ten monks who successfully passed the ninety-nine purple thunder trials are about to step into this unknown land to look for the legendary mythical beast white tiger.

In the center of the academy square, ten monks dressed in robes of various colors stood with solemn expressions, their eyes filled with both anticipation and uneasiness.

Among them, there are children from prominent families, as well as those from humble backgrounds who have stood out through their own efforts.

Xu Wan, as Chen Xuan's adopted daughter, stands out among this group of people with her gentle yet tenacious character.

She stood beside Chen Xuan and asked softly, "Godfather, should I go too?"

Chen Xuan, the master of Lingshan Academy, whose cultivation was unfathomable, looked deeply towards the Misty Forest and nodded slowly, "Go, Xiao Wan. This is the only way for you to grow."

Xu Wan heard this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he replied softly, "Okay."

Following Chen Xuan's order, the ten cultivators took out their respective magic weapons, transformed into ten streams of light, and penetrated the first layer of barrier of the misty forest.

Inside the forest, ancient trees stand tall and mist lingers, as if every step you take is into another time and space.

Soon after entering the forest, the monks encountered the first wave of tests.

A group of monsters whose minds were distorted by the fog suddenly rushed over from all directions. Their eyes were red and they roared from their mouths, obviously affected by some power.

The monks quickly formed a formation to respond, and the light of the magic weapons intertwined into a net in the forest, repelling the monsters one by one.

However, this was just the beginning. As they went deeper, the challenges they encountered became more and more difficult.

After a series of thrilling battles, the monks finally stopped in front of a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave was shrouded in a faint blue aura, as if it were some kind of powerful barrier.

Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat. She remembered her adoptive father once saying that white tigers often live in places with the richest spiritual energy. Could this be the white tiger's habitat?

Just as the monks were about to enter the cave, a majestic voice suddenly rang out in their ears: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory?"

The voice was filled with unquestionable power, shocking everyone.

It turned out that there was not the white tiger itself in the cave, but a test left by the white tiger.

Only by passing this test can one gain the White Tiger's recognition and obtain the secret treasure.

Xu Wan took a deep breath. She knew that it was time for her to prove herself.

Xu Wan stood quietly in front of the seal. She knew very well that it was not easy to unlock the seal of the cave. It required immense courage, profound cultivation, and precise spells.

So she took a deep breath, gently clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and concentrated, as if communicating with some power between heaven and earth.

After a moment, Xu Wan slowly opened her eyes, with a brighter light flashing in them.

She opened her lips gently and began to recite an ancient and complex spell.

This mantra is like the sound of nature, echoing through the valley, and every syllable contains endless power and wisdom.

As the spell continued, the air around them seemed to freeze, and even the wind stopped blowing.

As the spell deepened, subtle changes began to appear in the seal in front of the cave.

The faint blue light gradually became brighter and more dazzling, as if countless energies were surging within it.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Xu Wan's forehead, but she did not flinch and continued to recite the spell firmly.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the seal in front of the cave was shattered!

A powerful energy wave surged out of the cave and instantly swept across the entire valley.

Xu Wan's body was shaken by the sudden impact of energy, but she quickly stabilized her body, her eyes full of anticipation and curiosity.

She knew that she was about to uncover the secret of this ancient cave...

Xu Wan turned to look at the cultivator behind him and said with a firm look in his eyes, "This is a test we must face, and it is also an opportunity for us to become stronger.

But the dangers are unpredictable, and you can choose whether to follow."

The monks looked at each other, then said in unison: "We are willing to stand with the goddess!"

Xu Wan nodded slightly and walked into the cave with the monks.

"Aunt, will the legendary magical treasure really appear in this misty forest?"

Jin Xi asked softly, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

Xu Wan smiled slightly, looking deep into the forest. "Everything in the world has its destiny. The birth of a spiritual treasure must be due to fate. We just need to let nature take its course."

As you step into the cave, a refreshing aura hits you in the face, making you feel refreshed.

Inside the cave, there are jagged rocks of various shapes, and each stone seems to contain the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Among these strange rocks, there are countless exotic flowers and plants, emitting a faint fluorescence, which makes the entire cave look like a fairyland.

"What a rich spiritual energy!"

Xuanqing couldn't help but sigh. He closed his eyes and sensed that his cultivation was stirring and seemed to be making progress.

Xu Wan walked forward while carefully observing the surrounding environment. There was both vigilance and expectation in her eyes.

Suddenly, she stopped and her eyes fell on a plant that emitted a faint blue light.

"This is... Orchid Ice Heart Grass!"

Xu Wan's voice was filled with excitement. "This herb is extremely rare and is extremely helpful in practicing water-based techniques."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xi hurried forward to check, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Xuanqing stood guard silently by the side, alert to the movements around him.

Just as the three were immersed in the joy of discovering the spiritual herb, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, breaking the original tranquility.

Immediately afterwards, a huge monster rushed out from the darkness, its eyes were red, and its body was full of murderous aura that made people shudder.

"careful!"

Xu Wan reacted quickly, waved his hand and summoned a magic weapon, which turned into a stream of light and attacked the monster.

Jin Xi and Xuan Qing were not willing to be left behind, and they put what they had learned into practice, engaging in a fierce battle with the monsters.

The seven monks who followed Xu Wan shone like stars. They were agile and each displayed their magical powers as they faced the gigantic monster together.

The monster's roar shook the earth, and its eyes flashed with ferocious light, as if it wanted to swallow up the whole world.

Wei Ranzhu, the son of Lingzhu, held a long sword with a cold glow in his hand. His body was as fast as lightning, shuttling between the attacks of the monsters. Every time he swung the sword, it accurately cut the monster's flesh, leaving behind shocking scars.

Mu Shaoxuan shouted loudly, as if thunder was rolling in the sky. He clenched a huge iron rod in both hands and suddenly smashed it at the monster. The terrifying power attached to the iron rod forced the monster to take a few steps back with a look of fear on its face.

At the same time, the other five monks also displayed their unique skills.

Some controlled the blazing flames, transforming into flaming phoenixes and soaring through the sky. The blazing flames even burned the scales of the monsters until they curled up.

Some controlled the ice, condensing it into sharp ice cones to pierce the monster's vital points;

Others are good at the art of talismans. They make hand gestures and recite spells. Runes interweave into a net in the air, trapping the monsters inside.

Xu Wan stood aside, her eyes calm and determined. She kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield, gave instructions at the right time, and coordinated the rhythm of everyone's attack.

Under her command, the attacks of the monks came in waves like a tide, constantly impacting the monster's defense line.

Finally, with everyone's unremitting efforts, the monster's attack gradually weakened, and its eyes lost their previous fierce look.

At this moment, Xu Wan gave an order and everyone launched the most violent attack at the same time. Sword light, flames, ice, and talismans intertwined together to form a colorful torrent of attack that directly submerged the monster.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the huge monster was seen lying on the ground, covered in wounds and without a trace of life.

Everyone cheered and hugged each other to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

They knew that successfully repelling the monster depended not only on their own strength and cooperation, but also on Xu Wan's calm command and leadership.

In the mysterious cave, light shines through the cracks and falls on a young girl in patches.

The girl's name is Mu Qing. She has the rare bloodline of the five-colored phoenix. Her eyes seem to contain the flame of the phoenix's nirvana, shining brightly.

At this moment, she gently folded her hands in front of her chest, her posture upright and dignified, and bowed deeply and knelt down to the woman in front of her who was respected as the goddess - Xu Wan.

Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried an undeniable firmness: "Mighty Goddess, you are like the stars guiding us forward. We are willing to follow you until death, and together we embark on the journey to find the mythical beast, the white tiger."

Mu Qing's words were like a warm and powerful force that instantly echoed in the cave.

Her loyalty and determination ignited the hearts of those around her like a flame.

Under her leadership, the other six monks followed suit. Some of them looked solemn, while others had expectations and faith in their eyes. They all knelt on the ground at the same time, expressing their most sincere respect and desire to follow Xu Wan.

This woman, who was adopted as a daughter by the Lingshan Sect Master after passing the Purple Thunder Trial, is not only the Emperor's beloved disciple, but also possesses the rare secret of dual souls.

Her existence is like the most dazzling miracle between heaven and earth, making everyone want to get closer and explore the mysterious source of power.

Now, as a goddess, she leads everyone on an unknown adventure to find the legendary mythical beast, the white tiger.

As everyone knelt down, the atmosphere in the cave became more solemn and sacred.

Xu Wan stood there, her eyes gentle and deep, as if she could see into people's hearts.

She raised her hand gently, and a gentle power surged out of her body, surrounding everyone and giving them comfort and encouragement.

Her voice was gentle yet firm: "Thank you for your trust and support. Let us work together to uncover the mystery of the mythical white tiger."

At this moment, both Mu Qing and other cultivators felt unprecedented unity and strength.

They know that the road ahead may be full of thorns and challenges, but as long as they work together with one mind and one strength, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
