The Emerald Empire has a famous valley called the Valley of the Devils. You can tell how dangerous it is from the name. There are many man-eating demonic beasts in the Demon Valley, which have devoured the lives of many people, making people talk about the Demon Valley differently, and no one dares to approach it.

However, the test of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect was conducted in the Demon Valley. Only those who successfully passed through the Demon Valley alive could join the Thousand Ice Sword Sect. This may seem simple, but it's dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll be killed in Demon Valley.

The swordsman in charge of the testing work in the Thousand Ice Sword Sect was named Li Yuejiang, and he was a sword soul cultivator. He took Lin Xu's group of six people to the Demon Valley. I saw that the Demon Valley was very narrow, only about three zhang wide, as if it was a crack in the middle of a high mountain that was split by a heavenly axe.

Looking inside from the entrance of the Demon Valley, there are cliffs on both sides, almost forming a ninety degree angle to the ground, and if a person wants to climb out of the cliff, it is no less difficult than going to the sky.

In front of the Demon Valley, there was a huge stone, all black, the stone surface was covered with countless sword marks, and there was a particularly conspicuous red line. Lin Xuan knew that this was a sword test stone, which was used to test the strength of the sword. If anyone's sword slashed on the sword test stone and broke immediately, then he didn't have to enter the Demon Valley.

Those who have a sword may not be able to come out alive if they enter the Demon Valley, and those who enter without a sword can be said to be certain to die. If the usual weapon is not a sword, it can also be replaced by another weapon. For this requirement, the Thousand Ice Sword Sect seemed to be much more lenient than other sects.

At the same time, the sword test stone can also display the value of the sword power of the person being tested. The conspicuous red line above is used to display the values. The necessary condition to enter the Demon Valley is that this number must be above ten.

"The danger of the Demon Valley, I don't need to say more, you should also know it in your hearts. If you regret it now, it's too late. Otherwise, after entering the valley, you can only move forward, and there is no way back. Li Yuejiang reminded Lin Xu and others.

Lin Xu and the others nodded one after another, indicating that they had understood and would never regret it.

And so, the tests officially began. Lin Xuan asked Shangguan Tianfang, Wang Long and others to test first, and he stayed at the end. He had to see his good buddies enter the Demon Valley smoothly before he could really rest assured.

Li Yuejiang prompted Shangguan Tianfang to use all his strength to split the sword on the sword test stone, and after seeing that the power of the sword exceeded ten, he asked Shangguan Tianfang to enter the Demon Valley to continue the test.

Subsequently, Wang Lung and the others also entered the Demon Valley without hindrance.

In the end, it was Lin Xu. As he slashed the Blue Ice Sword against the black sword test stone, he suddenly felt a chill in his bones. You must know that Lin Xu's own ice attribute has no feeling for ordinary chills at all. If it makes him feel a noticeable chill, then this chill is indeed extraordinary. It was indeed a surprise to him.

However, what surprised Lin Xu was more than that. After he slashed a sword, the sword test stone did not react, and did not show the power of his sword. It's just weird.

Lin Xuan did not give up, and then split a sword, two swords, and three swords. In the blink of an eye, he had already slashed more than ten more swords one after another, but the sword test stone still didn't move as just now, and there was no reaction at all.

Seeing this situation, not only Lin Xuan was surprised, but even Li Yuejiang was stunned and felt incredulous. Prior to this, he had brought more than 10,000 people to this place for testing, and he had seen many people with mediocre qualifications and very low sword power, far from reaching ten, but a person like Lin Xu, who slashed down with a sword and had no reaction to the sword stone, he had never seen it before, and he had never heard of it.

In Li Yuejiang's impression, even ordinary people with the lowest sword power were able to make the sword test stone react during the test, and there had never been a situation like Lin Xu.

"Lin Xu, you take a deep breath first, and then use all the strength of your body to split a sword, paying attention to trying to split as far as possible to the middle of the sword test stone. Li Yuejiang patiently guided Lin Xudao.

With a sound of "dang", Lin Xuyi slashed another sword. But the test sword stone still did not respond as before, and the red line indicating the value still stopped in place, and did not move.

"Could it be that the power of my sword is too strong to make this sword test stone unable to be displayed?" Lin Xuan asked Li Yuejiang a little mischievously.

"This is impossible, no matter how powerful your sword is, the sword test stone can also measure it. If you don't believe me, I can show you. Li Yuejiang replied to Lin Xudao very seriously.

After saying that, Li Yuejiang pulled out the long sword he was wearing, and slashed at the sword test stone, and the power of the sword was really shown. He has reached the realm of sword souls, and the power of his sword is also amazingly great, and he has reached more than eighty.

At this moment, Lin Xuan had to accept the reality. He said in great distress: "It's so strange, why can't I measure the strength of my sword?"

"To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've seen a situation like yours in decades. Li Yuejiang said to Lin Xu in a sympathetic tone: "If you still insist on taking the test, then you can go directly to the Demon Valley to be tested." As long as you can pass through the Demon Valley alive and safe, you can still join the Thousand Ice Sword Sect. Or you can give up and find another way. ”

"No, I won't give up!" Lin Xu said to Li Yuejiang very firmly: "Since I have decided to join the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, I will definitely insist on accepting the test. No matter how dangerous the Demon Valley is, I'm not afraid. ”

"It's good, young people are always commendable for being ambitious. Then I'll wish you the best of luck and hope to see you at the exit of the Devil's Valley. Li Yuejiang's eyes showed his approval of Lin Xu, and said with a smile.

After Li Yuejiang finished speaking, he immediately walked away. On the empty and wide grass in front of the Demon Valley, Lin Xuan was left alone, as well as the black sword test stone beside him that could not measure the power of his sword.

Lin Xuan looked at the sword test stone, and then at the entrance of the Demon Valley, and his expression suddenly became a little trance-like. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a setback at the beginning, although it would not make him lose the opportunity to test, but it did affect his mood.

In this way, he doesn't know how much trouble and danger awaits him in the Demon Valley. He felt like he had to be mentally prepared.

After sitting on the grass and resting for a while, Lin Xuan got up again and walked towards the entrance of the Demon Valley. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong around him, as if there was another person.

Because he had encountered assassins many times before, Lin Xu now thought that an assassin was coming to assassinate him. He was shocked, and quickly turned around, turning his head to look around, but he didn't find any figure.

In front of the entrance to the Demon Valley, apart from himself, there was only the huge black sword test stone. Everything is the same as before. Lin Xuan suddenly suspected that he had been too worried just now, perhaps because of the hallucinations caused by the frustration he had encountered in the sword trial just now.

Lin Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, and just wanted to turn around and re-enter the Demon Valley, but he felt that the strangeness just now became more and more intense, and it did not weaken in the slightest. By this point, he was almost certain that it wasn't a hallucination, but a real strange sensation.

Lin Xuan immediately closed his eyes and listened quietly, urging his mental power to trace the source of this strange feeling that brought him this strange feeling. Soon, he discovered that the source was actually on the sword test stone.

"This is really strange, is this sword test stone really sent by the heavens to toss me? Seeing that I am about to enter the Demon Valley, it still refuses to let me go. Lin Xuan thought secretly, and there was already a helpless look on his face.

Lin Xuan estimated that a stone would not be of any danger to him, and while thinking about it, he walked straight to the sword test stone, intending to take a closer look at it and figure out why it gave him such a strange and uneasy feeling.

When Lin Xuan really stood in front of the sword test stone, he found that the strange feeling in his heart was even stronger. This also proves that his judgment is correct, and the strange thing is that on this sword test stone, it depends on whether he can discover the secret.

When he tried the sword just now, Lin Xuan split the blue ice sword directly on the sword test stone, but now he didn't need to test the sword, and the blue ice sword had already been sheathed, so he directly pressed his hand on the sword test stone, wanting to touch the difference between this sword test stone and other ordinary stones.

In Lin Xu's subconscious, the temperature of the sword test stone should be very low, and when he touches it with his hands, there should be a cold feeling, but this is not the case now.

Not only did Lin Xuan not feel cold, but he also felt a burst of warmth, and there was a stream of air flowing directly into his body from his palm. He felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly let go of his hand, wanting to stay away from the sword test stone, but it was too late, and the air whirlwind just now rushed to his dantian in an instant.

Lin Xuan wanted to try to use his consciousness to control this air flow, but found that he was powerless and couldn't control it at all. This air flow was still very powerful, slamming around Lin Xu's body, impulsing his meridians into a faint pain.

"What is this?" Lin Xuan thought to himself.

"Don't think about it, boy, I'm human. Lin Xuan suddenly heard a voice and couldn't help but be surprised. The other party seemed to know what was going on in his heart. But when he looked around, he saw that there was no one else around, so where did this voice come from?

"Who are you?" Lin asked in amazement. At the same time, maintain a high level of vigilance to avoid a surprise attack. Although he really didn't know where there was anyone nearby, he had to be prepared in advance.

"I'm the Sword God!" the other party actually replied to Lin Xudao in a weird manner.

"Where are you?" Lin Xu then asked. He kept looking around, but he didn't see anyone, and he really suspected that he was a ghost.

"Listen to where my voice comes from, I'm where I am, you're such a fool. The other party replied to Lin Xudao.
