How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Although the challenge was difficult, it was achievable with willpower. And if she remembered correctly, at least 70% of the Xuanling Sect disciples had passed the Cloud Ascent Ladder.

She was among the last to arrive; there couldn't have been only a few people left in the original area.

Did they leave first?

That doesn't make sense either. Qingbao and Ningshuang were a step behind me, so why haven't they arrived yet?

Ye Yueyue pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out. She didn't see anyone else teleport over either, so she took a few steps forward and greeted them with a smile: "Greetings, fellow senior brothers. Where is everyone else?"

The group had been observing their surroundings, instinctively on guard in this unfamiliar place. The sudden sound in the quiet forest made their hearts leap into their throats, but they breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Yueyue.

"I don't know, we just arrived, and there are only a few of us here."

"It's you, Junior Sister Yue. Perhaps you left before we arrived?"

His eyes showed a look of incomprehension, which made Ye Yueyue's mood serious. She didn't think her senior brother would lie, nor did she think he would need to.

Since there was no one in the original spot, she boldly guessed that the scene in this round must be quite large. Her gaze swept across the silent forest, indicating that she had probably been teleported to another location.

"Shall we look for it?"

"Yes, there are so many people in their Xuanling Sect!" The man was also puzzled, scratching his head as he agreed.

"Let's go," one of the senior brothers said calmly.

Ye Yueyue nodded, "Let's try it, it should have teleported us to a place not far away."

What is this level?

The group walked through the dense jungle. Due to the uncertainty, they did not split up but instead headed in one direction.

Ye Yueyue walked in the middle, and her senior brothers naturally protected her among them.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sound except for the occasional rustling of leaves in the breeze.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

In this situation, everyone couldn't help but feel anxious, and no one spoke, just walked quietly.

With the jade pendant in hand, Ye Yueyue was not worried about her own safety. She also had many other life-saving items on her. She was just curious about what kind of challenge she would face in this trial and where Qingbao and the others had gone.

Suddenly, a light appeared ahead.

Ye Yueyue was in the middle and hadn't even seen clearly when her senior brother's eyes lit up and he said, "Let's go!"

The others immediately followed.

Ye Yueyue had a bad feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It made her inexplicably panicked. Her fingertips touched the jade pendant inside her clothes, and her heart suddenly relaxed. Oh well, she thought, I'll deal with whatever comes my way. I won't die anyway.

Ye Yueyue followed.

In the tall, dense forest, a faint light emanated from a gap in the trees ahead, seemingly an exit to the outside world, drawing attention.

Ye Yueyue followed the branches that her senior brothers had cleared and walked out.

Once outside, she was momentarily stunned by the intense light. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light, and only moved it away after her eyes adjusted. Ye Yueyue then took in the surrounding scenery.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a gentle breeze blows, and everything is so soft and comfortable, making people feel relaxed and enlightened.

Unlike the dense forest, this place is very open, with only a few scattered trees around. There is a lake in front, and the sunlight shines on the lake, making it sparkle.

Ye Yueyue looked back and saw that the dense jungle was still behind her.

“There’s no one here either,” a senior student said in a deep voice as he walked over.

His expression was somewhat serious, and his tone was full of confusion.

"Yes, this place feels very big. I walked around it and didn't see a single person."

"It's alright, the other senior brothers and sisters shouldn't be in the same place. We'll meet again after we clear the level!" Ye Yueyue said, pretending to be relaxed.

The girl's relaxed tone dispelled the unease that lingered in everyone's hearts.

The atmosphere eased slightly.

"That's true, but I don't know what this level is."

"Sigh, I should have asked my senior brothers for advice before coming in!"

Ye Yueyue nodded, "Yes, we miscalculated."

The group walked along casually, and soon reached the lakeside.

Looking at the tranquil lake, they felt inexplicably relaxed. They sat down under a large tree by the lake, surrounded by quiet, with only the sound of gentle ripples on the water.

Ye Yueyue felt a little drowsy.

Sleepy……

She nodded her head, her thoughts began to wander, and she felt like a piece of driftwood floating on a river, drifting with the current.

Suddenly she woke up with a start. No, why was she sleepy?

It's been so long since I've slept since I came to the cultivation world, I'm so sleepy.

Ye Yueyue sensed something was wrong, and the unease in her heart grew stronger. Sleepiness was still rising, so she pinched her thigh hard. The pain jolted Ye Yueyue awake.

Holding back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes, she looked up at her fellow disciples.

They were found to be fast asleep, their faces relaxed, some even snoring.

Ye Yueyue paused for a moment, then stepped forward and woke them up:

"Brothers, wake up, wake up, there's a trap."

The Xuanling Sect disciple remained unresponsive, his eyes tightly closed, looking serene.

Ye Yueyue stepped forward, nudged one of her senior brothers, and whispered in his ear, "Senior brother, wake up! You're about to ascend, the tribulation lightning is coming!"

"Huh? The tribulation lightning is here, where's my magical artifact?" The man suddenly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

His eyes were somewhat blank, but his hands instinctively began to reach for his magical artifacts, and his gaze also unconsciously turned to the sky, only to find that the sky was covered with dark clouds, calm and windless without a ripple.

He turned his gaze back to Ye Yueyue's face, his eyes filled with a hint of resentment: "Junior Sister Yue, are you kidding me?"

Just as he was about to say something, some sounds came from the forest behind him, faint and discreet, and at the same time the ground trembled.

The commotion was minor, but to the perceptive cultivators, it was undoubtedly a sign that a storm was brewing.

"Oh no! Wake up the others! We can't stay here any longer!" Ye Yueyue shouted at her senior brother.

Her unease grew stronger, and she became anxious. She quickly resorted to her old trick and woke up the others.

"Senior brother, wake up."

The person who was woken up by Ye Yueyue first also realized the seriousness of the situation. His muddled mind cleared up a bit, and he started calling for help along with Ye Yueyue.

Soon everyone woke up.

The commotion on the ground grew louder and louder. Ye Yueyue glanced into the forest, her heart tightened, and she immediately ran in the opposite direction.

"Walk."

Before leaving, Ye Yueyue's gaze inadvertently fell on the tree where they had just been. The tree's petals were still drifting down, and she vaguely had an answer in her heart.

Seeing this, everyone immediately followed.
