Wang Xiao’s eyes glinted as he looked at the item inside the black box.

Inside was a longan-sized elixir pill covered in mystical patterns, emitting rich spiritual fluctuations.

It even caused his Great Daoist Nascent Soul to stir.

’Glazed Sacred Heart Pill.’

Wang Xiao glanced at the nearby description, then immediately used his Analyze All Things talent.

The description was too shallow, nothing compared to the information his analysis would provide.

[Analyzing]

[Analysis Successful]

[Glazed Sacred Heart Pill, Saint Level, Ninth Grade. Can be used to temper the Yin Spirit, nourish the Inner World, and make the two more attuned to Heaven and Earth...]

Surprise flickered in Wang Xiao’s eyes.

This was probably the most precious item he had ever obtained.

Any higher, and it would be Divine Level!

That was an item considered rare even for Tier Six Life, let alone Tier Seven Life.

’This Chaos Nether King really is generous, giving away something like this so easily.’

Wang Xiao mused to himself.

Just then, a series of voices suddenly drifted over from up ahead.

"What’s your name, brother?"

"My name is Wu Da. We’re all Huaxia People. Brother, you’re so fast!"

"Whoa, Wu Da, that could be taken the wrong way! Watch out, or he might come over and beat you up!"

"Heh heh, this Dream Corridor is no easy walk. It took me a good half-year to get this far. No matter how much of a genius he is, it’s gotta take him at least a few days to reach me, right?!"

Wang Xiao snapped out of his thoughts and looked toward the corridor before him.

At this moment, the voice of the Chaos Nether King, Gu Tiandu, rang out, drowning out the other prodigies.

"The third trial begins now. This trial is called the Dream Corridor. It is one hundred meters long. To pass the trial, you must pass through the corridor."

The introduction was extremely brief. After just that single sentence, Gu Tiandu vanished without a trace.

However, based on the trial’s name, Wang Xiao had a pretty good idea of what it would test.

’Dream... It seems stepping inside will generate all kinds of Illusion Realms. The people in the corridor must be the prodigies sent in before me, who are now trapped here.’

Wang Xiao’s expression remained calm.

It was another test of the Spirit.

It seemed all the trials here were preparations for the final refining of Earth!

The goal was to select a prodigy with extremely high potential in their Spirit and then cultivate them.

Other aspects, like one’s physical body and bloodline, were secondary.

’I’ll refine this Glazed Sacred Heart Pill first. There’s no rush to continue the trial.’

Wang Xiao wasn’t in a hurry to enter the Dream Corridor. Instead, he took out the Glazed Sacred Heart Pill. A surge of Gang Qi enveloped the pill and swept it directly into his stomach.

Since Analyze All Things hadn’t detected any issues, it meant the elixir pill was safe to consume!

In an instant, the elixir pill entered his body.

Wang Xiao felt a tremendous spiritual impact, like a wild, unbridled horse, crashing violently into his Inner World.

It then transformed into a soothing dew, which began to nourish his Great Daoist Nascent Soul and Inner World.

It was just like sweet rain after a long drought.

This dew then formed a small pool within his Inner World.

His Great Daoist Nascent Soul soaked within the pool, and the Yin Spirit inside it began to condense at a rate visible to the naked eye.

HUMMM!

The next moment, Wang Xiao felt the rhythm between Heaven and Earth become much clearer.

He immediately began circulating his One Thought Reaches Heaven cultivation technique. He captured this strand of rhythm, gradually bringing his Inner World into sync with its frequency.

A moment later, Wang Xiao slowly rose to his feet and let out a soft sigh.

This one elixir pill had saved him a good forty to fifty years of arduous cultivation.

He had taken another big step toward breaking through to One Thought Reaches Heaven.

Those forty to fifty years were not to be underestimated.

You see, Wang Xiao’s Great Daoist Nascent Soul and Inner World were extremely powerful, so it was also more difficult for them to merge with Heaven and Earth.

Taking this step was much more difficult for him than for other Evolvers.

If it were any other Evolver, this one Glazed Sacred Heart Pill might have been enough for them to break through directly to One Thought Reaches Heaven.

Of course, if that happened, their foundation would be unstable, and problems might arise later in their cultivation.

For example, being unable to refine a Living Star, and so on.

That was why Wang Xiao would rather proceed a little slower, ensuring his path was steady, than blindly chase after speed.

Of course, his "slow" was only relative to himself. Compared to other Evolvers, his progress was like a speeding rocket.

Putting those thoughts aside, Wang Xiao looked at the Dream Corridor before him and stepped inside.

When the others saw Wang Xiao enter the Dream Corridor, they all had different reactions.

Some looked on with anticipation, some with amusement, others with schadenfreude, but all of them were undeniably curious.

"He’s finally in! Come on, come on, place your bets! How long do you bet it’ll take him to pass?"

"The fastest record belongs to Ji Wuchang, who passed in only one day. I bet he’ll do it in half a day."

"I’m in. I also bet he’ll be faster than Ji Wuchang."

"Hmph. This trial tests one’s heart and character. Passing the earlier stages quickly only proves he has a good memory and spatial awareness. It doesn’t mean he can surpass Brother Ji."

"He just ate the Glazed Sacred Heart Pill right away! That’s a divine medicine that can help an Evolver take the final step in Limit Breaking! But from the looks of it, he hasn’t even reached One Thought Reaches Heaven. What a total waste!"

"Well, you can’t blame him. Who could resist taking a divine medicine like that right away?"

"If that’s the case, his character isn’t very steady. It’ll probably take him quite a while to get through this Dream Corridor."

"Huh? How is he moving so fast? He doesn’t look affected at all. Is this Dream Corridor a fake or something?!"

Everyone’s eyes went wide as they watched Wang Xiao walk toward them.

The young man was moving at an incredible pace, almost as if he were flying. In the blink of an eye, he had already passed the first person.

Then, after a pause of about ten seconds, he continued forward, passing the second person.

Then the third, and the fourth, until finally, he overtook the person who had made it the farthest.
