Birds chirp as they flap their wings and soar across the sky, with no dead ends and no boundaries blocking their path.
Some birds fly proudly through the air, while others land on the branches of trees standing beside the ravine.
Their eyes look downward at the few people standing beneath the scorching sun. More than a dozen groups stand within circles that have been prepared by the elders of the Dou Zhi Sect.
These circles are prepared for the participants taking the Dou Zhi Sect entrance examination. Several young people from outside the city have also come here just to test their luck.
And the beautiful girls elegantly enter the circles prepared for them.
Their faces are full of anticipation, their eyes sparkling brightly, and they appear extremely enthusiastic with radiant expressions!
In front of them all stands a middle-aged man, stroking his beard while smiling with sweeping eyes.
In the next second, the middle-aged man speaks loudly, "If you successfully pass these three tests, you will immediately be accepted as outer disciples of the Dou Zhi Sect!"
The middle-aged man is called Qin Chen. He is one of the Elders of the Dou Zhi Sect. His face is full of wrinkles, but his posture is straight, like a man in his early thirties!
Almost at the same time, Zhi Xuan's eyes widen as he hurriedly looks around.
"Where is this?"
Elder Qin points to the side and continues, "The first test is to climb this mountain. You must walk up stairs where each step will make your body feel twice as heavy, and your Spirit Qi will gradually weaken over time."
"Don't worry, the first test won't be too difficult, but..." The corner of Elder Qin's mouth curls up, "In the second test, you will suffer some terrifying injuries, hahaha!"
As Elder Qin bursts into laughter, Elder Lin, who is standing behind him, can only stare blankly and sigh inwardly.
"A person like this was allowed to become an instructor… Who knows what the Sect Master is thinking."
Elder Qin's laughter spreads across the crowd, causing the participants to shudder. When it reaches Zhi Xuan, who is standing at the very back—
Zhi Xuan suddenly frowns.
"Are they filming?"
He looks around in all directions and thinks silently after finding nothing.
"Where did they place the cameras?"
In the next second, Elder Qin continues, "The third test is to test your combat strength. Later, you will be faced with several wild beasts, but..."
Elder Qin emphasizes, "Do not underestimate this test, because you may encounter ferocious beasts at the peak layer of the Xuan Qi Realm."
Hearing this, the participants become worried and extremely nervous. They swallow hard and break out in cold sweat. However, with strong determination, they steel their hearts and convince themselves that they can pass.
At this moment, Zhi Xuan remains silent and observes the situation. He does not know how to react.
Glancing to the side, Zhi Xuan notices a beautiful woman standing in the opposite circle.
"Who is that woman? Is there really such a beautiful actress in this country?" Zhi Xuan wonders curiously in his heart.
Her perfect appearance makes it impossible for Zhi Xuan to look away.
Her white hair flows loosely down her back, while her red eyes radiate a dominant and majestic aura!
Zhi Xuan continues staring until Elder Qin finishes his final sentence.
"If all of you successfully pass all the tests, you will immediately be accepted as outer disciples of the Dou Zhi Sect!" Elder Qin says while stroking his beard.
Hearing this, Zhi Xuan subconsciously turns his head and remembers something.
"Dou Zhi Sect? Isn't that one of the sects in the mortal world mentioned in Zhen Lin Feng's novel? Are they making a film adaptation of it?"
When the entrance to the first test opens, all participants, including Zhi Xuan and the woman he noticed, enter.
Looking at the extremely long staircase ahead, Zhi Xuan feels hesitant.
"This staircase is so long… Can I really get through it?"
Zhi Xuan sighs, then takes his first step and begins walking up the stairs.
At first, he feels it should be easy. However, once he reaches the eighth step, his body suddenly becomes extremely heavy, and his energy is rapidly drained!
"This is... a Magic Field?" Zhi Xuan shakes his head. "No, it's impossible for something like this to exist in this world. This is just filming, why should I get involved?"
Zhi Xuan looks back.
"Alright, let's go back. I shouldn't have entered this place in the first place!"
However, the moment he tries to descend the stairs, his body suddenly falls, and his knee hits the steps heavily.
"This... Why does my body feel so much heavier than before?"
Zhi Xuan struggles to stand up, his thoughts in chaos.
"Is this not filming? And..."
He looks back at the participants who have already gone far ahead.
"It seems... this really is a Magic Field..."
At this moment, Zhi Xuan becomes completely certain that he has crossed into the world of Zhen Lin Feng's novel.
He is extremely shocked and shouts inwardly.
"This is completely unbelievable! I thought this only happened in novels. I never expected to experience it myself... Traveling to the cultivation world... And this is the cultivation world in Zhen Lin Feng's novel that I often read."
Wait!
"Am I actually lucky? I crossed between dimensions and arrived in a cultivation world. Moreover, this is Zhen Lin Feng's novel, which I am very familiar with. I have read this novel many times—over a thousand chapters."
The corners of Zhi Xuan's mouth curl upward.
"I have almost complete knowledge of this world. Doesn't that mean it will be extremely easy for me to reach the peak?"
Thinking this, Zhi Xuan cannot help but laugh out loud in excitement.
"Hahaha!"
When his laughter reaches the participants who are already more than fifty feet away, they all turn back and look at him with strange expressions.
"Is that person crazy?"
"What a pity."
"It seems he no longer has the strength to continue the exam. Judging from his reaction, he is probably frustrated after failing the first test. It seems he doesn't know how to face his family with such results..."
The participants wear sorrowful expressions, truly believing that Zhi Xuan has gone mad.
