Such enviable talent made many people jealous, and Xie Si, who took Su Xue'er as his disciple, had to stand up for this troublesome disciple time and time again.

However, there was one thing he couldn't understand: why he always woke up in his apprentice's bed. At first, he thought he was going crazy, but later he developed different feelings for his apprentice.

However, a master-disciple relationship is taboo. Jing Yao, also a disciple of Xie Si, was used as a shield by Su Xue'er.

Everyone in the sect rejected and loathed Jing Yao. In the end, the elders decided to strip Jing Yao of her cultivation qualifications. Jing Yao's dantian was destroyed, her meridians were extracted, and she turned evil on the spot.

She unexpectedly awakens her demon bloodline and vows revenge, but before she can even take action, she discovers that her demon power has been inexplicably dissipated.

Su Xue'er killed Jing Yao in front of everyone. Only after death did she realize why Jing Yao's demonic power was suddenly dissipated. It was because Su Xue'er used the ability to stop time. She could only watch helplessly as Su Xue'er and Xie Si became a couple praised by everyone in the cultivation world.

Mingyue silently finished the last of the plum blossom cake to calm her nerves. "Can time in the whole world stop?"

[No, sir. Su Xue'er's time-stopping ability can only extend 500 meters from her center, which causes time chaos in the surrounding area. Host, please sort it out.]

Interesting, it's surprising that someone can acquire this ability.

Mingyue watched the live broadcast of the spirit stone with great interest. Su Xueer easily reached the top, strolling leisurely as if she were taking a walk.

In contrast, everyone else who reached the top was exhausted and collapsed on the ground. Only a few, concerned about their image, forced themselves to stand up, their legs trembling.

This stark contrast drew praise from the other elders. Zhu Ji toyed with a strand of black hair, her smile alluring, "Master Mingyue, I told you I had good taste, didn't I?"

Mingyue's evaluation was unremarkable; she even wanted to eat some pastries, but said, "Just so-so."

Zhuji: "..."

Okay, okay, you're the boss, you're right.

With only an incense stick's time remaining before the trial on the steps, the elder in charge of recording the proceedings, having confirmed that no one would be coming up, flew to the group on his sword and said, "Congratulations on passing the first trial. Please follow me into the second trial."

Bang--

A disciple covered in blood suddenly stepped in from the white mist. The elder frowned. "Young friend, the first trial is over. Please descend the mountain."

Jing Yao bit her lip, her hands trembling as she propped herself up, her gaze falling on the incense burner beside the elder. "The incense hasn't burned out yet. I passed the trial within the allotted time."

The elder frowned. He could tell at a glance that this person's spiritual roots were mixed up. Even if he survived the first test, what difference would it make?

"Young friend, your body is not suitable for the next trial."

Jing Yao gritted her teeth and swallowed the metallic taste rising in her throat, staring intently at the elder, "I can."

She wants to cultivate immortality; she wants to prove that her five spiritual roots are no worse than anyone else's!

"In that case, let's continue."

Su Xue'er crossed her arms and gave a coquettish snort, putting on an act.

The second trial was originally supposed to be conducted by other elders, but Master Mingyue spoke up, so the elders naturally stepped aside, and Zhu Ji followed along to watch the excitement.

"The second trial illusion will be successfully completed if you find the correct exit. You have three hours to complete it."

Mingyue announced the rules, and Zhuji winked at Su Xueer, "Good luck!"

Mingyue couldn't bear to look at him and silently moved away from this show-off; he was utterly shameful.
