Chapter 7

The Shenglong Stairs were in chaos, but Lin Mu was indifferent to it all. On the peak of Xuan Yuan Peak, a cool breeze blew, bringing a sense of comfort. The place where he stood was a vast square, the ground covered with a sturdy and grand Xuanzhong stone.

After Lin Mu, more people rushed up one after another. Lin Mu, without a doubt, became the focus of everyone. No matter when or where, the first one always attracts attention.

And when everyone noticed that there was not a trace of internal energy fluctuation in Lin Mu's body, they all opened their mouths in shock.

"I'm sure I didn't see wrong, he has no internal energy at all. Without internal energy, that means his cultivation hasn't even reached the third level of Body Tempering. How could such a person rush up here, and even be the first?"

"Impossible! I, at the fifth level of Body Tempering, felt a bit breathless rushing up here. He has no internal energy at all, yet he didn't even change his expression or have his heart race after running up. Is he even human!"

"Strange, too strange."

A guy who hadn't even cultivated any internal energy had rushed to the top, surpassing them all. It was almost blinding. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it. Climbing the 5,000 steps of the Shenglong Stairs without any internal energy was already a miracle, and he was the first.

This situation made those who had reached the sixth level of Body Tempering or higher want to spit blood, especially the wealthy young man who ranked second. His expression was extremely colorful, and he was extremely depressed. If he had lost to someone of a higher realm, it would have been one thing, but now he had lost to someone who had no internal energy at all. How could he not be depressed?

Not only the participants, but even the two Inner Sect disciples at the Ninger stage looked at Lin Mu with strange eyes. They couldn't believe that the first place was taken by a guy who had no internal energy.

"Hehe, kid, you're going to be famous now."

Benben covered her mouth and laughed.

"Shut up, you dead pig!"

Lin Mu glared at him. They had already made an agreement that Benben would follow him and not say a word. Generally, only when a beast reached the Tianhua stage could it transform into a human form and speak.

This top-notch pig was clearly not at the Tianhua stage, yet it could speak. If outsiders heard it, a talking pig would certainly cause a commotion. More importantly, it had just burned down someone's house, and all the disciples of Xuan Yuan Sect would probably want to skin it alive. If they found out, it would be disastrous.

Glared at by Lin Mu, Benben seemed to realize his situation and wisely closed his mouth.

In the end, out of more than 2,000 people, only a little over 300 successfully passed the first test. Among these 300 people, apart from Lin Mu, the first place, the lowest cultivation level of the rest was the fourth level of Body Tempering. This showed that entering Xuan Yuan Sect was not an easy task.

The 300 people who passed the first test looked excitedly at the huge mountain gate at the end of the square. On the mountain gate, three deeply carved characters read "Xuan Yuan Sect."

If one looked closely, they would notice that these three characters were actually carved with a sharp sword.

Behind the mountain gate, one could see rows of palaces, some of which were natural caves, like blessed lands. Such a cultivation place was indeed something to look forward to compared to the secular world.

Swoosh!

The two white birds let out a cry and flew into the interior of Xuan Yuan Sect. The two Inner Sect disciples walked confidently to the front of the crowd.

"Congratulations on passing the first test, but don't get too complacent. The test isn't over yet. There's a second test. After the second test, if 100 out of the 300 of you remain, it will be considered good."

One of the disciples said indifferently, while the other walked directly to Lin Mu.

"What's your name?"

"Lin Mu."

Lin Mu answered. The disciple smiled and said nothing more. He glanced at the elaborately dressed Benben on Lin Mu's shoulder but didn't pay much attention. Many wealthy young men had the habit of keeping pet beasts, so it was normal for Lin Mu to have one.

The Inner Sect disciple only asked Lin Mu's name and didn't ask anyone else, which made the wealthy young man who ranked second even more depressed. In his view, Lin Mu had already been recognized.

"Let's go."

The Inner Sect disciple said, turned, and walked into the interior of Xuan Yuan Sect. The 300 people were all excited and followed the two.

Excitement, tension, and excitement filled the crowd. In everyone's heart, Xuan Yuan Sect was a true immortal sect, and it was an honor to step into it.

Among the 300 people, Lin Mu was the most calm. He knew that compared to the Tianyuan World and Zhongzhou, this Yuanzhou was just a small place on the edge of the Tianyuan World. Xuan Yuan Sect was far inferior to the Lan Family and the Yutian Pavilion.

Led by the two Inner Sect disciples, the group passed through the mountain gate of Xuan Yuan Sect and arrived at a large martial arts arena on the outer edge of the sect.

In the arena, dozens of disciples wearing the same clothes stood. These disciples had obvious internal energy fluctuations, clearly all Outer Sect disciples of Xuan Yuan Sect. Their eyes looked at the 300 new arrivals, and their faces all showed a superior smile. There were many Outer Sect disciples in Xuan Yuan Sect, and those standing here were likely the best among them.

In front of these Outer Sect disciples, two large wicker chairs were placed, and two old men, who looked to be in their sixties, sat on them.

Lin Mu's gaze fell on the two old men and noticed their intense internal energy fluctuations.

"There's no need to look. These two old guys are both at the sixth level of the Ninger stage. You're not a match for them."

Benben whispered.

"Sixth level of the Ninger stage?"

Lin Mu muttered. His current physical strength was comparable to the second or third level of the Ninger stage, but he had a bigger trump card. If he forcefully used the Great Devouring Technique, the outcome against these two sixth-level Ninger stage old men was uncertain.

The Great Devouring Technique was known as an ancient secret technique, and its power was unimaginable. Although Lin Mu couldn't fully unleash its true power, he was not to be underestimated.

The two Inner Sect disciples at the first level of the Ninger stage walked to the front of the two old men, and one of them respectfully said,

"Elder, these 300 people have rushed up the Shenglong Stairs and passed the first test."

"Who is the first place?"

The old man sitting on the left said with great authority.

"Lin Mu, step forward."

The disciple turned and beckoned to Lin Mu in the crowd. Lin Mu walked out and came to the front of the two old men, bowing.

At this moment, Lin Mu suddenly felt several fiery gazes looking at him, or rather, at his shoulder. He knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw the dozens of Outer Sect disciples looking at Benben with burning eyes.

"It's that dead pig!"

"Damn, this damned pig actually dared to come here!"

"Seize this dead pig, skin it, and boil it alive!"

The Outer Sect disciples were all furious. Seeing that the two elders were also angry, the dozens of Outer Sect disciples, as if receiving an order, rushed towards Lin Mu and Benben.

"Damn, even dressed like this, I'm still recognized. Kid, you're on your own. I'm out of here."

Saying this, Benben shook his body, shedding the elaborate clothes, and turned into a white light, rushing out of Xuan Yuan Sect, leaving Lin Mu alone. He fled without any sense of righteousness.

"Dead pig, I @#￥￥@~~"

Lin Mu was speechless, cursing the pig to no end. Of course, he had never expected the pig to have any sense of righteousness, but now his position was extremely awkward.

"What's going on? That pig just now could talk."

"Those Outer Sect disciples have all rushed out. What did that pig do?"

The 300 people who passed the first test looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

Lin Mu stood there, gritting his teeth, secretly cursing the dead pig to be caught and boiled alive. Unfortunately, his curse was ineffective. In just a moment, the disciples who had rushed out returned empty-handed, rushing towards Lin Mu and surrounding him.

"Cough, cough! That pig and I just met. Whatever grudge you have with it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Mu coughed, still holding the elaborate clothes left by Benben.

"Rubbish! That dead pig is your pet beast. Its previous misdeeds were surely under your command. You have the nerve to do such things and still dare to participate in the test."

One of the eighth-level Body Tempering Inner Sect disciples shouted loudly.

"I told you, I have nothing to do with that dead pig!"

Lin Mu inwardly cursed, again scolding the dead pig to no end.
