The white-haired old man said, "I heard that this is the eighth trial ground, and sword beams will attack without warning!"

Lan Hua responded with an "oh," put away the Yueque Bow, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am Lan Hua, I have offended you earlier!"

"I am Wang Ruohai!"

Wang Ruohai waved his hand casually, not even bothering to give a proper return gift, which Lan Hua didn't mind.

"May I ask, Immortal Lord Wang, are there any fusion stones in this eighth trial ground?" Lan Hua asked.

Wang Ruohai shook his head, "I don't know. I've only been in this trial ground for three days and haven't explored the whole place yet."

"I've never heard of this fusion stone you're talking about!"

Lan Hua didn't say anything more, and then carefully examined the environment of the eighth trial site.

The area is surrounded by green hills and clear waters, and the environment is quite nice, at least a hundred times better than the sixth trial ground. It's a much more visually appealing place.

Just as Lan Hua was thinking about which direction to fly in, a ripple suddenly came from the void to the left, and dozens of sword beams appeared out of thin air, shooting towards Lan Hua and Wang Ruohai.

Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise and quickly used the Invisible Arrows, dozens of which blocked the incoming sword light.

Wang Ruohai, who was in the distance, was struggling. He swung his spirit sword repeatedly before finally dissipating the sword light.

"Immortal Lord Lan, do you believe me now? This sword light is just that strange; it can always appear out of thin air, making it unpredictable!"

Lan Hua nodded slightly and murmured, "Could the source of this trial ground be sword energy?"

"Immortal Lord Wang, do you know where the challenge is?"

Wang Ruohai shook his head, "I don't know for now, but I have noticed a phenomenon."

As long as you fly westward, the frequency of the sword beams will increase, and their power will also increase!

Lan Hua said "Oh," and added, "It seems that to get through this, we must head west!"

"Immortal Lord Lan, I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea. With your current cultivation level, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to reach the challenge location!"

Although Wang Ruohai wasn't particularly interested in the sudden appearance of Lan Hua, his words were well-intentioned.

After all, Lan Hua has only just entered the trial grounds and needs to train in the outer areas first.

It's not too late to take action once you've cultivated enough and gained a full understanding of the power of the sword's edge.

"I appreciate Lord Wang's kindness, but I don't have much time left!"

Lan Hua then left Wang Ruohai behind and flew westward.

Seeing that Lan Hua was all alone, and a newcomer at that, yet dared to head directly west, Wang Ruohai was not willing to fall behind and quickly chased after her.

The two flew for about fifty kilometers, and as Wang Ruohai had predicted, the power of the sword light had increased significantly, and the frequency of its appearance had also increased considerably.

As an archer, Lan Hua possesses the unique skill of the Invisible Arrow, so dealing with the combined attacks of sword beams naturally puts her under less pressure.

However, Wang Ruohai was about to give up, as he had to fight back with all his might every time the sword light came.

At this moment, a figure turned back from the front. It was a middle-aged woman with a good figure and a rosy complexion.

Lan Hua quickly asked, "Fellow Daoist, how far is it from here to the place where we will be able to break through the barrier?"

The beautiful woman said, "It's at least a thousand miles away. I advise you to go back as soon as possible."

A hundred kilometers ahead, the power of the sword's edge had undergone a qualitative change, making it extremely difficult to deal with!

"I must have been a fool to come here to participate in the New Origin Realm Trial. I've been trapped here for fifty years, and I can't even break through a hundred miles ahead. I'm so regretful!"

As she spoke, the beautiful woman quickly flew backward.

From behind, Lan Hua noticed several bright red marks on her body, indicating that she must have been struck by the sword's edge.

Wang Ruohai's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard this.

"That immortal lord has been trapped for fifty years? This trial ground is too insane!"

Just then, the void rippled again, and dozens of sword beams suddenly appeared, shooting towards Lan Hua and Wang Ruohai.

Lan Hua used her "Six Gods and No Master" move to shatter the sword light once again.

Wang Ruohai was in dire straits. He used all his strength, unleashing countless sword shadows, before he could barely block the sword beam.

Although he was not young, his cultivation level was only at the first level of the Celestial Realm, much weaker than Lan Hua's. It was already quite an achievement that he had managed to persist until he got here.

Lan Hua pondered for a moment and said, "Immortal Lord Wang, you'd better not push yourself!"

Wang Ruohai sighed, clasped his hands in farewell, and said, "Farewell!"

Watching Wang Ruohai disappear into the distance, Lan Hua murmured, "This eighth trial ground is so difficult; there must be quite a few Celestials trapped here."

This isn't a trial; it's a complete cage, an attempt to confine the newly ascended celestial beings!

"Fine, I'm determined to conquer this eighth trial ground today!"

Lan Hua used the Flowing Light Step and flew rapidly westward.

Sure enough, at a distance of 100 kilometers, the power of the sword light doubled, and the density of the sword light also doubled.

This was the first time Lan Hua had experienced pressure.

After advancing another hundred kilometers, the power and density of the sword light doubled again, forcing him to use his full strength.

Fortunately, Lan Hua possessed two large dantians, and with his powerful celestial energy, he advanced for five hundred kilometers in a row.

For these 500 kilometers, Lan Hua even used the power of her Dharma form.

However, at this moment, the sword beams were countless, almost overwhelming.

"Master, you should use the Qiankun Bowl. It's a waste of your energy and will be detrimental to your later trials!" Hongmei advised.

Lan Hua nodded helplessly, and with a thought, a bowl-shaped barrier enveloped him.

With the barrier in place, Lan Hua's pressure was greatly reduced, and she then withdrew her Dharma power.

"This trial ground is truly awful! I suspect that unless one's cultivation reaches the peak of the Celestial Realm, there's no way one can escape this place!"

"Red Rose, how are you feeling?"

“Master, no problem. Since you broke through to the Celestial Realm, the strength of the Qiankun Bowl has also increased considerably.”

Although the Qiankun Bowl is damaged and cannot unleash the full power of a primordial spiritual treasure, it is still considerably stronger than an ordinary immortal artifact!

"That's good!"

Lan Hua was unwilling to linger and continued westward.

After flying another 500 kilometers, Lan Hua finally saw the exit of the eighth trial site.

During this period, Lan Hua encountered many celestial beings, some of whom had already reached the ninth level of cultivation, yet they still managed to reach the exit point a hundred kilometers away.

This indeed confirms Lan Hua's speculation: only peak Celestial Realm experts are qualified to leave this place.

The space where Lan Hua was located was filled with sword energy, like a raging storm.

If it weren't for the blessing of the Qiankun Bowl, his physical body would have been destroyed and his primordial spirit would have dissipated long ago.

Near the exit, three dazzling beams of light nearly blinded Lan Hua.

"What is that? It's so bright!"

Hongmei replied, "Master, those are three immortal swords, and their power is not bad!"

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

Lan Huagong focused his eyes and used his Thousand-Mile Eyes to see clearly the appearance of the three immortal swords: one red, one blue, and one cyan.

The three-colored immortal swords were stuck ten feet from the exit, and three dazzling rays of light connected the three immortal swords together. The immortal swords themselves were also surrounded by terrifying sword energy.

"Hmm? I understand now. That's why the sword light appeared out of nowhere in Trial Ground No. 8."

"It must be these three immortal swords that formed a sword formation, and the sword light emanated from that formation!"
