A burst of dazzling light flashed around, and when his vision cleared again, he found himself sitting on the ground.

And behind him was the entrance he had stepped through to get here.

At this moment, the entrance looked like a ground hole, just appearing on the ground like that.

Seeing this scene, Shen Han couldn’t help but frown, clearly feeling that he was falling.

Yet at this moment, he was sitting on the ground.

And that entrance was still a ground hole...

Strange, it was indeed somewhat strange.

He got up and looked around; this place actually seemed like an ordinary wild forest.

Shen Han didn’t feel anything different about the place.

According to Patriarch Yao, after entering the Forbidden Land, if one’s blood and energy surge uncontrollably, and one’s mind cannot calm down,

it means that one’s physical strength is insufficient, or that one’s talent is lacking, making it difficult to endure, necessitating a swift departure from the Forbidden Land.

In more severe cases, it’s not just the surging blood and unsettled mind.

The entire person may even feel dizzy, or even nauseous and vomit.

For cultivators with strong life force, such situations generally don’t occur.

Only the unadaptability to the Forbidden Land would lead to this.

Shen Han felt that this 13th Layer of the Forbidden Land seemed to have no effect on him.

But Shen Han didn’t choose to leave immediately and head to the 14th Layer.

Shen Han planned to stay a bit longer in this Forbidden Land, figure out its mysteries, and then leave for a deeper layer.

At this moment, outside the passage.

Yu You, Yao Xueru, and others were waiting there.

These people from Snow Mountain House were smiling, though what that smile meant was unclear.

"Aren’t your Snow Mountain House people going in for training too?

Why aren’t you moving?"

Yu You looked at the three young people from Snow Mountain House, who were also there to participate in the Forbidden Land training but seemed in no hurry.

"No rush within this short time; there’s plenty of time for cultivation after entering the Forbidden Land."

Upon hearing Yao Xueru’s answer, Yu You just glanced at him.

Too lazy to care, whatever time they chose to enter was irrelevant.

They hadn’t stayed in the passage for long, looking at the time, it might not even be a quarter of an hour.

Guan Xinyi from Star Tower came out from the entrance.

At that moment, she looked pale, with confused eyes, and seemed in a poor state.

Seeing her come out, Yao Xueru seemed to have expected this.

He waved his hand, and a maid beside him went over to support her and feed her some fresh water.

Soon after Guan Xinyi came out, Su Jinyu and Jiang Ling’Er followed.

Their conditions were not much better.

"Sect Leader, this Forbidden Land is very bizarre. After entering, one’s blood and energy surged violently.

The heart was restless and difficult to suppress..."

Jiang Ling’Er described her state, which was a sign of not being able to withstand the pressure of the Forbidden Land.

Yu You frowned, with some speculation in his mind.

Seeing Yu You’s expression, Yao Xueru waved his hands repeatedly.

"Sect Leader Yu, don’t misunderstand this old man...

The situation of these children is not due to any interference on my part; it is purely the restriction of the Forbidden Land.

If one cannot adapt, such situations naturally occur."

As they were talking, Fu Tianqi also came out from inside.

Fu Tianqi seemed in much better condition than the other few.

However, his face was still flushed as if there were still instances of surging blood and energy.

"Tianqi, how do you feel?

Why did you only stay inside for about a quarter of an hour?"

Yu You frowned. Fu Tianqi’s strength was among the top even in the Celestial Sword Sect.

Even he couldn’t endure?

"Sect Leader, I stayed inside for more than a two-hour period, not just a quarter of an hour..."

Fu Tianqi said this with a trace of grievance.

Beside him, Yao Xueru quickly interjected.

"Sect Leader Yu may have heard that the Forbidden Land of our Snow Mountain House is extremely mysterious, and in there, time flows differently from the outside world.

This little friend was indeed inside for more than a two-hour period."

After explaining, Yao Xueru smiled at the few others.

"No need to fret, this talent varies from person to person.

If you can’t persist in the 13th Layer, just try the 12th Layer."

Yao Xueru smiled broadly, and the people from Snow Mountain House beside him also wore faint smiles.

Although they said nothing, the ridicule in their smiles was palpable.

Seeing this, Fu Tianqi calmed his surging blood and stepped forward.

"Senior Yao, didn’t you say that the disciples from Snow Mountain House also plan to go into the Forbidden Land for training?

When will they step in?

I mean no harm, I just want to see how others of my generation endure this."

Fu Tianqi stepped forward and asked directly.

Celestial Sword Sect, within the Inner Domain, counted as a major sect.

As one of the outstanding figures of his generation in the Celestial Sword Sect, Fu Tianqi naturally had his own pride.

Earlier, he didn’t understand why so many people from Snow Mountain House had come.

Now he understood; they were here to watch the spectacle.

Fu Tianqi couldn’t believe it; he had absolute confidence in himself.

Even within that 13th Layer of the Forbidden Land, he felt his blood and energy surging greatly.

Continuing wasn’t an issue, but there was no way to continue cultivating peacefully.

Even he couldn’t withstand it, Fu Tianqi didn’t believe that these disciples of Snow Mountain House could persist inside.

Upon hearing Fu Tianqi’s words, Yao Xueru waved his hand.

One person saluted Yao Xueru, and the next moment, walked into the 13th Layer of the Forbidden Land.

Throughout the process, people from Snow Mountain House watched Fu Tianqi’s group with smiling eyes.

It seemed there was an intention to watch them make a fool of themselves.

Fu Tianqi could sense this was a trap, but he just didn’t believe it.

He didn’t believe that people from Snow Mountain House could stay in there.

Time passed, almost two-quarters of an hour had gone by, and that person still hadn’t come out...

"Young friend, he’s been in there for nearly two-quarters of an hour, shouldn’t he be considered stable inside?"

Yao Xueru’s face still carried that smile.

But seeing this smile, Fu Tianqi and the others felt very uncomfortable.

These people from Snow Mountain House were clearly targeting them deliberately, intentionally talking about some 13th Layer.

Just to embarrass them.

"Friends, as you can see, indeed everyone’s talent is different.

This child isn’t stepping into the 13th Layer for the first time, it’s not difficult for him."

Jiang Ling’Er’s face turned sullen, she was also somewhat unconvinced, her heart was stifled.

Unable to hold back, she stepped forward two steps, seemingly wanting to argue something.

But before she could speak, she was stopped by Yu You at her side.

Clearly, Yu You meant for her not to say more.

But looking at the expressions of the Snow Mountain House people, she just felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that the few of them didn’t speak, Yao Xueru stepped slightly ahead and opened the entrance to the 12th Layer of the Forbidden Land.

"Friends, don’t lose heart, if the 13th Layer doesn’t work, try the 12th Layer.

What is suitable is best.

If your talent is insufficient, forcing your way into a deeper layer of the Forbidden Land will only bring harm, not benefit."

Saying that, the entrance to the 12th Layer opened.

Fu Tianqi’s group all frowned at this moment, feeling stifled.

The three from Celestial Sword Sect, as Direct Disciples, were being so humiliated.

The key was that their own Sect Leader was standing right next to them.

Despite the large Celestial Sword Sect, in terms of disciples’ talents, it was no match for Snow Mountain House.

The people from Snow Mountain House in front of them, saying nothing, with smiles on their faces, just watched them.

This silent ridicule made Fu Tianqi and these Celestial Sword Sect talents feel even more uncomfortable.

Yao Xueru even comforted them, said things like what is suitable is best.

These words made them uncomfortable, and they couldn’t find words to retort.

"Friends, try the 12th Layer again, if you still can’t adapt, going to the 11th Layer is also fine."

Yao Xueru said softly, seemingly genuinely considerate for everyone.

At this moment, Fu Tianqi, Jiang Ling’Er, and Su Jinyu’s eyes all showed a hint of anger.

Snow Mountain House disciples went to the 13th Layer, but they went to the 12th Layer.

This super obvious disparity made the Celestial Sword Sect disciples’ faces utterly thrown away.

Seeing them not moving, Yu You at the side looked toward them.

"Try the 12th Layer, one’s own ability is the true ability.

Control your temperament."

Hearing their own Sect Leader say this, Fu Tianqi’s group finally went inside.

They all held a breath in their hearts, wanting to earn back some face for the Celestial Sword Sect.

But upon entering the 12th Layer, the surging feeling of blood and the uneasy palpitations still existed...

Those who couldn’t hold on came out one after another.

Their states weren’t well, besides physically, their mental states were even worse.

Only Fu Tianqi was slightly less obvious, his condition was still okay.

But even in the 12th Layer, it was still difficult for him to meditate peacefully.

Every moment demanded effort to focus, it was simply impossible to cultivate.

Seeing them come out, the smiles on the faces of the Snow Mountain House people were even brighter.

Yao Zhonggu seemed to have received the news and only then arrived.

It felt like his purpose in coming was deliberately to watch Celestial Sword Sect people suffer.

The more Patriarch Yao boasted about Celestial Sword Sect, the more comfortable Yao Zhonggu felt seeing the Celestial Sword Sect disciples in distress.

He even whispered to others in a low voice: "So these big sect disciples from Celestial Sword Sect are just like this."

He pretended to speak quietly, but who couldn’t hear, everyone was a cultivator, how could their hearing be that bad?

Unable to stay in the 13th Layer, unable to stay in the 12th Layer.

It was indeed a bit embarrassing.

For Celestial Sword Sect disciples to perform like this, it was really unjustifiable.

Yao Xueru looked at them coming out again, though restrained, his smile was still palpable.

"Friends, please wait a moment, this old one will first open the entrance to the 14th Layer.

Here at Snow Mountain House, there’s a child who wants to try the 14th Layer this time.

Once this old one opens the 14th Layer, the entrance to the 11th Layer will be opened for you."

Yao Xueru’s face carried a smile, this comparison of one up and one down.

Seemed to vividly showcase the differences in talent potentials.

After opening the 14th Layer of the Forbidden Land, the Snow Mountain House disciple walked right in.

Everyone waited in silence, a quarter of an hour passed.

At this point, since they hadn’t come out, it could be considered they stood firm inside.

Yao Xueru didn’t say anything, just smilingly went to open the entrance to the 11th Layer of the Forbidden Land for them.

Though resources were spent, with this comparison, the people from Snow Mountain House truly felt incredibly proud.
