The night is cool as water.

It was like the night before the storm, the world was quiet and silent, brewing the final storm.

There are countless towering mountains here, densely packed like stars, like ancient beasts sleeping one after another.

The sky is filled with thick clouds and mist, like a sea of fog.

This is the location of the Shanhai Pavilion, a great ancient sect.

One of the huge mountains.

On the top of the mountain, there is an extremely vast platform.

Thousands of monks gathered densely.

But what was strange was that the eyes of these monks seemed a little dull.

Just like a dead person.

Suddenly, at some point.

More than a hundred fluorescent lights flashed across the sky.

Afterwards, among the many monks on the platform, some people had a gleam of light in their eyes and regained their clarity.

It's like injecting soul into the walking dead and bringing them back to life.

The test of the Xu world has officially begun.

…

Lu Qingshan came back to his senses and slowly opened his eyes.

He first checked his current condition. Although he was wearing the uniform Taoist robes of the Shanhai Pavilion disciples, his appearance and figure had changed.

But no matter whether it is cultivation or magical instruments, they are still the same as when he came in.

Lu Qingshan glanced around and saw that everyone around him was a Qi-refining cultivator from the Shanhai Pavilion, wearing blue Taoist robes, just like him.

He understood that among the tens of thousands of Qi-refining cultivators in the Shanhai Pavilion, only one hundred and seventy-nine were real living people.

The rest are just illusions of the world of ruins.

…

Everyone remained silent, as if they were waiting for something.

The same is true for Lu Qingshan.

A moment later.

In the misty distance.

A dazzling blue .

In the darkness, like a shooting star.

And this meteor was now heading straight towards the giant mountain where Lu Qingshan was.

soon.

The stream of light stopped above the monks, revealing the human figures among them.

A middle-aged male cultivator wearing a white robe and looking tired.

The aura on his body is as deep as the abyss.

"Master!" All the Shanhai Pavilion disciples on the field said respectfully in unison.

The white-robed monk known as the sect master glanced at all the monks on the field.

He let out a long sigh and spoke slowly.

"I think you all know it."

"At this moment, Shanhai Pavilion has been surrounded by many demons led by the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Lord."

"The Ten Thousand Poison Demon Lord sent people to negotiate with our Shanhai Pavilion, wanting us to submit to the demon clan."

"He gave us one night to think about it."

"But, there is no need to consider it. We, the monks of Shanhai Pavilion, can only die standing up. There is no such thing as kneeling and trying to survive."

"The ten thousand year foundation of Shanhai Pavilion will probably be difficult to survive after tonight. As the last patriarch of Shanhai Pavilion, the only thing I can do now is to lead the monks of Shanhai Pavilion to fight the demons to the death and live up to the reputation of Shanhai Pavilion."

"I just hope that the elders of Shanhai Pavilion will not blame me, an unworthy disciple."

The leader of Shanhai Pavilion was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

All the monks off the field were silent.

Finally, some very faint sobbing sounds were heard.

It's like the wire that ignites a powder keg.

The sobbing gradually spread.

Growing up in Shanhai Pavilion since childhood, they all regard Shanhai Pavilion as their home.

Now, this family is in danger.

Who wouldn't feel sad?

The leader of Shanhai Pavilion looked at his disciples who were sobbing, his eyes filled with deep sadness.

"You disciples are just practicing Qi. Shanhai Pavilion should have nurtured and protected you for hundreds and thousands of years. After you grow into great cultivators, you can support our Shanhai Pavilion."

"Now, you have not yet grown up, and Shanhai Pavilion has not given you too many resources, and you have to face such a disaster."

"Now, I give you a choice."

"Go or stay and die with Shanhai Pavilion."

"If you stay, with the cruel methods of the demons, there is no chance of survival. You will die without a single chance of survival."

"If we leave, the demons have already gathered countless people outside my Shanhai Pavilion and sealed off the space. Ordinary teleportation arrays are completely useless."

"Only the [Fixing Tian Teleportation Array] can still function, but the destination of the [Fixing Tian Teleportation Array] cannot be controlled at all. It is a random transmission. The elders are currently building the [Fixing Tian Teleportation Array] on Feilai Peak."

"At present, the methods of the demons are still unknown. Although the [Fixed Heaven Teleportation Array] can still exert its teleportation power, it is very likely that there will be loopholes."

"Moreover, the area within a thousand miles is already full of demons. Even if you escape through the teleportation formation, you may just be out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's lair."

"So, even if you choose to escape through the [Fixed Heaven Teleportation Array], it's still a life-or-death situation, but it's better than staying behind and having no chance of survival."

"You should not feel ashamed for choosing to escape. As cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, even if you stay, it will not mean much to Shanhai Pavilion."

“But if I choose to escape and actually survive, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope for the continuation of the inheritance of my Shanhai Pavilion.”

"If that's the case, you are the heroes of Shanhai Pavilion."

"Think carefully about whether to leave or stay."

The leader of Shanhai Pavilion waved his sleeves.

A deep blue light pattern appeared above the monks and lasted for a long time.

"Those who choose to stay stand on the right side of this blue light, and those who choose to escape stand in front of this blue light..." The voice of the leader of Shanhai Pavilion began to tremble, and the voice became lower and lower, and gradually fell silent.

Because just as he said that he chose to stay and stand on the right side of the blue light.

The huge crowd seemed to be controlled by something.

No discussion, no hesitation.

At this moment, everything moved to the right side of the blue light.

In the dark night, these thousands of low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm gathered together, some of them were still sobbing softly.

Everyone's faces were in the shadows, making it difficult for the Shanhai Pavilion leader to see clearly.

An inexplicable strange feeling surged back and forth in his chest.

"All the monks of Shanhai Pavilion are willing to die together with Shanhai!"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted this first.

Afterwards, the sounds came one after another and gradually became uniform.

The sound went straight into the sky.

"We will die together with the mountains and seas!"

…

Feilai Peak.

Several formation masters from Shanhai Pavilion, together with disciples from Shanhai Pavilion who are proficient in formations, are here, constantly outlining the formation patterns and building the [Dingtian Teleportation Formation].

Suddenly, one of the formation masters raised his head.

"There seems to be some sound?"

"There's no sound..."

"Don't talk, just listen!"

The faint sound floated in the clouds and mist, intermittently.

Finally, the sound became clearer and clearer.

"Together with the mountains and the sea...together...to die!"

The formation master's eyes lit up and he looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"That is……"

The formation master quickly took out the Shanhai Pavilion token from his storage ring.

The token is glowing continuously.

The formation master probed his mind into it.
