How could a small sect at the border possess such a thing?

The remnant soul of a woman was puzzled.

Although the eastern continent was big, it was nothing more than a small island compared with the other continents in this world.

Resources were scarce, and spiritual energy was sparse.

Even the cultivation world there was extremely weak.

If the remnant soul were at her peak, she could sweep across the entire eastern continent by herself.

She had already seen it when she followed Xiao Huohuo to pay homage to the sect.

Among the top esoteric sects there, ordinary elders only held Profound Rank artifacts, and even Earth Rank artifacts were very rare.

If even their dharma treasures were so shabby, how strong could they be?

Therefore, the woman did not think highly of the entire eastern continent.

She had actually suffered through a great change, and her cultivation had been reduced by eighty to ninety percent. Even her physical body no longer existed.

However, in the eastern continent, she had never needed to fear anyone.

But now…

When she looked at the mountain gate again, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the words, “Grand Mystery Sect.”

For a moment, she was stunned and puzzled.

After a long time, she finally returned to her senses.

“How is this possible?!”

“These three words actually contain sword essence?

“Could they have been carved by a sword cultivator?”

The remnant soul’s heart was filled with shock.

Even though she was experienced and knowledgeable, she did not know what to say right then.

Should such a precious treasure not be placed in an important place within the sect to be protected and observed day and night so that its mysteries could be understood?

Should it be placed out there like a plaque?

Was she unable to keep up with the changes of the times, or did this Grand Mystery Sect not know how precious it was?

“Incomplete spirit, quickly retreat!”

The voice sounded like the Great Dao, ringing out once again and striking Xiao Huohuo, as well as the remnant soul’s hearts.

“Senior, what should we do…”

Xiao Huohuo panicked. “Why don’t we pay respect to a different mountain sect?”

“Switch sects?”

“Do you not know the rules?”

“You have already paid respects to this mountain and obtained the sect’s consent. If you leave without participating in the trial, it will seem as though you are disrespecting the sect.

“Once you leave, there will only be one outcome: the other party will kill you by force!” the remnant soul in the ring said seriously.

“If there is really no other way, you can only put me down and charge into the array alone.”

“This…”

Xiao Huohuo was so frightened that his face turned pale. He looked at the imposing mountain gate and was somewhat at a loss. Nevertheless, the obsession he felt in his heart immediately strengthened his resolution.

“Okay! I’ll give it a try!”

Xiao Huohuo put down the ring, took a deep breath, and began to challenge the array.

However, he was prepared to deliberately reveal a flaw so that the Grand Mystery Sect would judge him as a failure in the trial.

“There’s no need to admit defeat on purpose. This is your opportunity. Take good advantage of it.” The remnant soul’s cold voice rang out behind him.

“But Senior, you…”

“Just take it as the string of our fate has come to an end.”

Xiao Huohuo trembled. He did not say anything further and walked into the array.

The scene changed, and he came upon the day when the engagement was canceled…

…

“Oh, you’re here already?”

Ye Chen looked at the sect map. It showed that someone had entered the array and begun the trial.

Then, he opened his Heavenly Obervation Eye.

The teenager’s name was also displayed in front of him.

Name: Xiao Huohuo
