Chapter 377 - 377 The first test!
The moment that this voice finished speaking, thousands of people soared in the sky, as they flew towards the gigantic white gate one after the other, almost like they were competing with each other to see who would enter first.
And yet, Shun Long wasn't in a hurry to enter the white gate.
Instead, he turned to look at Liu Mei, before he took out a bottle from the 'Stone of Time' that was filled with purple-colored pills. As he stared into Liu Mei's gorgeous black eyes behind her white veil, Shun Long handed her the bottle of pills, before he said in a serious voice
''Mei'er, be very careful!
Since that voice said that there will be no alliances, it's very likely that they will have everyone split from each other to ensure fairness during the test.
We have no idea what kind of tests we will have to face, so make sure to be careful.
Even if you somehow fail during test, don't be anxious. There will definitely be many other places in the central region for us to go to, it's not like we have to enter the Holy sect no matter what.
However, there is one important thing that you have to pay attention to!
If you suddenly obtain inspiration and have to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, make sure to consume these pills before your breakthrough!''
As he finished speaking, Shun Long didn't say anything else, and instead, he simply patted Liu Mei's head.
Staring at the pills in her hands, Liu Mei nodded her head, before she placed the pill bottle inside her spatial ring.
Then, with a serious look on her face, she stepped forward and hugged Shun Long, placing her head on his c.h.e.s.t before she said in a low voice
''Long-ge, you have to be careful too!''
Nodding his head, Shun Long hugged Liu Mei back, before the 2 of them soared in the sky, as they followed the crowd and flew towards the gigantic white gate as well.
Staring at the gigantic white gate in front of him, Shun Long took a step forward before he entered inside.
The moment that his body passed through the gate however, he felt his previously clear vision suddenly getting blurry,
Shun Long could feel the familiar feeling of spatial fluctuations covering his body, before he suddenly felt Liu Mei disappear from his arms.
He was standing on a white platform that seemed to have been created by some kind of white jade, while endless grassy plains filled the area around the platform.
However, what startled Shun Long, was neither the white platform nor the green scenery of his surroundings, but that he was actually unable to move a single muscle on his body.
It was like his body had been immobilized, and no matter how much strength he tried to exert, he was unable to break free.
The only thing that he could do was to just stare in front of him, but he was unable to even turn his head to the side.
Shun Long wanted to try and see if he could break free from this invisible restraint using 'blink', when he suddenly noticed people appearing around him, practically out of thin air.
1, 2, 3...
8, 9, 10, 11!
The moment that the last person appeared around him, Shun Long acutely noticed, that none of these 11 people were able to move either.
These people's conditions were similar to Shun Long's own, unable to do move any part of their body but their eyes!
At the same time, Shun Long noticed countless different emotions flashing through these people's eyes.
Some of them observed the people in front of them with curiosity, others looked scared, while others seemed impatient to start a fight, while they were unable to conceal the bloodthirsty look in their eyes!
However, what shocked Shun Long the most, was that most of these people didn't seem to come from the 'Night star continent'.
''Don't tell me that they come from another continent instead? And possibly more than one...?''
As this thought flashed through his mind, Shun Long found it even more plausible with every passing moment, as he continued to observe the people in front of him.
The reason behind this assumption of his, was the way that some of these people had dressed themselves!
Two of them were dressed in luxurious clothes that seemed similar to the way that clothes were made in the 'Night star continent', with powerful formation masters engraving protecting runes inside them, while others were covered with the hides of powerful magic beasts from head to toe.
Of course, the people who were dressed in 'normal clothes' similar to Shun Long's, were still the vast majority.
A few moments later, the familiar, powerful voice that had covered the entire 'Night star continent' earlier, resounded in Shun Long's ears for the second time
''This is the first test to enter the Holy sect!
At the same time, it can also be considered a preliminary test as well.
Cultivators not only need to be lucky to survive, but they also need to be strong-willed!
Unless there is a supreme expert to protect you and help you grow, soft-hearted cultivators will definitely die sooner or later.
The path to be a cultivator is the path to defy the heavens!
You will need to step on the bodies of countless experts if you want to survive and continue moving forward, and this test is no exception!
This is a world where the strong rule and the weak get trampled on!''
Shun Long could feel waves of shock trying to rock his heart, almost as if his emotions had turned turbulent just from this person's words.
However, this feeling barely lasted for less than a moment, before his heart returned to calmness.
After a brief moment of pause, that voice sounded again before it continued in a nonchalant tone
''In front of you there are 11 other cultivators who are participating in the Holy sect's test as well.
However, if you want to pass the test, each of you have to kill 3 people!
If you fail to complete this within half an hour, then you will be considered to have failed the test!
Now... all of you can begin!''
The moment that this voice disappeared, Shun Long felt the restraints around his body disappear at the same time, as he stared at the people in front of him who seemed to have noticed this change as well.

Author's note: Chapters are coming a bit later than usual these days because I have been experiencing some pain in my wrist. We are still getting our 2 chapters every day, but they will take some more time since I need to take breaks so I won't cause any damage to my hand and be unable to write in the future. <3
