"Fuck why!!" Chen Tian eximed in frustration as he realized he wasn''t able to move the door.


    "Something is wrong with this amount of spiritual Qi inside my Dantian; I should be able to easily break through this barrier," he thought to himself.


    Chen Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on his Dantian.


    He began to channel his Qi, hoping to find an answer to what was happening.


    Minutester, he wasn''t making any progress. The door remained immovable, frustrating Chen Tian even more. He opened his eyes, feeling a sense of desperation creeping in.


    "I need to figure out what''s going on," he muttered to himself.


    ncing over his shoulder, he noticed that Su Bingxin was still fast asleep.


    He rose from his spot and began to make his way toward the slumbering figure of The Sleeping Beauty.


    "How is she?" He asked Su Linhua for an update on Su Bingxin''s condition.


    "She''s fine; she''s just shocked; the explosion didn''t cause her serious injuries as I immediately protected her," Su Linhua replied.


    Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Su Bingxin was unharmed.


    He couldn''t shake off the feeling of responsibility for what had happened.


    Maybe if he hadn''t used too muchw power, nothing of this sort would have happened.


    As he approached her, he noticed a slight twitch in her sleep, a sign that she was starting to wake up.


    Chen Tian gently shook her shoulder to rouse her from her slumber.


    "Su Bingxin, are you alright?" Chen Tian asked with concern in his voice.


    Su Bingxin slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry at first.


    She winced in pain as she tried to sit up, but Chen Tian quickly supported her, ensuring she didn''t strain herself further.


    He couldn''t help but feel guilty of what had happened, vowing to be more careful in the future.


    "What happened?"


    Su Bingxin mumbled, her voice weak and filled with confusion. Chen Tian sighed softly, his worry evident in his eyes.


    "The test!"


    Her eyes widened in realization as she nced around the destroyed ce.


    "I-It wasn''t a dream?"


    "No, we''re still within the trial grounds," Chen began to exin, recounting the events as Long Wei had told him.


    Minutester, after Su Bingxin processed Chen''s exnation, a mix of anger and worry filled her gaze.


    "Why did you do that?" She was angry at Chen Tian for putting himself in danger and, at the same time, worried.


    Now that she waspletely awake, she could clearly observe the bloodstains on Chen Tian''s attire and body from where he had bled.


    She took a clean cloth from her storage ring and gently wiped the blood from his face. Her touch was gentle, but her expression remained stern.


    Chen sighed slightly as she cleaned the blood from his face.


    He couldn''t help but smile inwardly at her action.


    It feels good to be looked after.


    As she finished wiping away the blood, Su Bingxin''s worry began to subside.


    But she was still angry at him for putting himself in this kind of danger; she couldn''t imagine something happening to him.


    She just had her Dao Companion, and she doesn''t want to lose him.


    She knew she had to scold him, to make him understand the gravity of his actions. But for now, she would focus on tending to his wounds and ensuring his safety.


    Chen''s smile grew wider as he realized how lucky he was to have someone like Su Bingxin by his side.


    In his previous life, when he got injured, there was no one to take care of him, let alone worry about his well-being. But now, as hey there with Su Bingxin gently cleaning his wounds, he couldn''t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude.


    ''I will always protect you.''


    He vowed to himself that he would do everything in his power to keep her safe.


    "Now it''s better," Su Bingxin whispered softly and smiled, after cleaning the blood from Chen Tian''s face.


    Her smile sent aforting warmth to Chen Tian.


    He couldn''t help but gaze at her beautiful lips, the way they curved into that gentle smile.


    "I want to kiss them," Chen Tian thought to himself, his heart racing at the thought.


    But he quickly pushed the idea aside, reminding himself that it wasn''t the perfect time yet.


    "Oh, what lovely lovebirds!"


    Long Wei suddenly appeared beside Su Linhua and gave them a mischievous grin.


    "I couldn''t help but notice the chemistry between the two of you," he teased, causing Bingxin to blush and Chen Tian to feel slightly embarrassed.


    "H-Hello! S-Senior" The shy Su Bingxin stammered, her cheeks turning even redder.


    "Where have you been?" Su Linhua rolled her eyes at Long Wei, yfully scolding him for his sudden appearance.


    "Hahaha, I''ve left to get that thing."


    "So it''s you have it?"


    "Um." Long Wei nodded and opened his palm as a small box appeared in his hand.


    "That''s good; we don''t have that much time left; we should get started right away," Su Linhua replied eagerly.


    She grabbed the small box from Long Wei''s hand and approached Chen Tian.


    "Here, take this box; you will need it eventually," she said, handing it to Chen Tian.


    "What that?" Chen Tian asked curiously, studying the small box in his hands.

    Su Linhua smiled and replied, "It''s our inheritance from our ancestors. Inside this box is all the knowledge and wisdom that have been passed down through generations."


    "That''s the inheritance!" Chen Tian looked puzzled.


    He thought that the inheritance would be some kind of technique or powerful artifact, not a simple box.


    However, Su Linhua continued, "Sometimes the greatest treasurese in the simplest forms. This box holds something that even gods beings will fight for"


    "What!"


    Hearing the word "gods," Chen Tian''s eyes widened in astonishment. He couldn''t believe that something as unassuming as a box could hold such immense value.


    No one in the nine heavens has ever seen a god or reached that level.


    The gods were legends in the nine heavens after the Chaos War, an event that had shaken the very fabric of existence.


    They were said to possess unimaginable power and wisdom, and their presence alone was enough to strike fear into the hearts of mortals, immortals, and celestials.


    Chen Tian''s curiosity was piqued, and he couldn''t help but wonder what could possibly be inside that box that would drive even the gods of the legends to fight for it.


    "No, don''t open it!" Su Linhua warned, grabbing Chen Tian''s arm.


    "You have no idea what kind of mess you could unleash if you do."


    Just as he was about to open the box, he was stopped by Su Linhua.


    Seeing his curious gaze, Su Linhua sighed and said.


    "Only open this box when both of you are alone together and in a private ce. I also suggest putting a barrier around the ce.


    This ce isn''t good for opening this box."


    "Why is it that powerful that it needs to be alone?" This time, it was Su Bingxin who spoke.


    She was also curious about the contents of this box.


    "Well, I-I..." Su Linhua didn''t know how to say it.


    She tried to choose her words carefully.


    "It is indeed powerful, and when both of you open it, many sounds that will attract a lot of people will happen, which is why it would be better that both of you open it when you''re alone."


    Long Wei came to Su Linhua''s rescue and answered Su Bingxin''s question.


    Su Linhua averted her gaze, feeling relieved that Long Wei had stepped in.


    But her action didn''t escape Chen Tian''s notice. He raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued.


    He wondered why Su Linhua seemed hesitant to speak, and why Long Wei felt the need to intervene.


    ''They are hiding something,'' Chen Tian thought to himself. He couldn''t help but feel intrigued by the mysterious action between Su Linhua, Long Wei.


    Chen Tian made a mental note to keep a close eye when he was about to open the box.


    He couldn''t be sure that the box was 100% safe.


    |RUMBLE|


    "What happening?!"


    Suddenly, the ce started to shake violently, causing the walls to crack.


    Chen Tian''s heart raced as he struggled to maintain his bnce amidst the chaos. The rumbling grew louder.


    "The ce is getting destroyed," Long Wei said calmly.


    "Why?" Chen Tian asked, his voice filled with panic.


    He looked towards Su Linhua, hoping she would have an answer.


    "This ce had a source of power, but that source is gone now, which is why the ce is crumbling," Su Linhua exined, her voice calm.


    "Don''t worry, we will be taking you out of this ce now before the entire ce copses," Su Linhua reassured them, her voice filled with determination.


    "Seniors, your bodies!" Su Bingxin eximed, noticing that Long Wei and Su Linhua''s bodies started to disappear into thin air.


    "What''s happening?" Chen Tian asked, his voice filled with worry.


    "The source of power was keeping us here in this realm," she exined frantically. "Now that it''s gone, we''re being pulled back to our original ce!"


    She exined as relief washed over her face.


    "Now we will be sending you back home. I hope we meet again."


    With that, both Chen Tian''s and Su Bingxin''s bodies started to vanish.


    "Wait, I need an exnation about something!" Chen Tian cried out in desperation as he observed himself beginning to fade away.


    But it was toote; his words were cut off as his bodypletely disappeared, leaving only a faint trace of his presence in the air.
