For Duan Gujin, this Soul Fire control test was just as easy as the previous one that required him to paint within a stone.

In his eyes, these kinds of tests posed absolutely no difficulty at all.

Time ticked by until the sound indicating the end of the test reached his ears, and it was only then that Duan Gujin let out a sigh of relief.

He was completely exhausted, having become extremely weak.

Even if the sound signaling the end of the test hadn't been heard, he reckoned he would soon conclude the test himself.

After he finished his task, he quickly retreated to the nearby hot spring.

Sitting cross-legged in the hot spring, he cultivated his vitality and recovered his strength.

One 'si chen' later, he had restored himself to peak state.

At this moment, the elders within the Liuyun Immortal Sect had also received Duan Gujin's scores for this test.

"My god! That Duan Gujin has broken the record again!"

"Yes!"

The elders present were all dumbfounded as they noted Duan Gujin's score for this stage on the Imaging Crystal Stone—it was perfect level.

Perfect—that was the highest score possible for this stage of the test.

After Duan Gujin had recovered his strength, he moved on to the next challenge.

Passing through a gate, he found himself transported to a place with a large expanse of trees growing in front.

Fortunately, there was a stele in front of those trees.

Duan Gujin immediately approached to read the text on it, and only then did he realize that the next challenge he faced was fighting against a multitude of Demon Beasts at the Martial Sect Realm.

At the very bottom of the stele was a map of this place.

Duan Gujin immediately memorized the map, then set off to find the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass.

"It seems this is probably the final test, but I really can't comprehend why the Liuyun Immortal Sect would deliberately set such a test. It makes no sense at all! Typically, an Alchemist's test is to gauge a real Alchemist's Alchemy Techniques, but why is the Liuyun Immortal Sect's test so bizarre?"

He released his Divine Sense to inspect the surroundings.

After a while, his expression changed drastically; he had sensed the appearance of dozens of Cannibal Demon Wolves in the vicinity.

Each of these Cannibal Demon Wolves was robust, wandering around as if searching for food.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, concealing his Life Aura to prevent being sensed by those Cannibal Demon Wolves.

"To be dizzy with! I didn't expect the Liuyun Immortal Sect to place so many Cannibal Demon Wolves here!"

With a thought, he began to move meticulously forward.

The stele informed him that the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass was within this Secret Realm, but finding its exact location was up to him.

To prevent contestants from losing their way, the Liuyun Immortal Sect had set up ten pillars in ten locations within this Secret Realm, indicating directions.

Duan Gujin could only search one place after another.

Three kilometers on, his Divine Sense Inspection detected a large swarm of Butterfly Demon Clan in the dense forest ahead.

These Butterfly Demon Clan were enormous, each the size of an adult human; they were capable of flight and could release Poison Powder at their enemies.

Once attacked by their Poison Powder, one would experience hallucinations.

If a large number of Butterfly Demon Clan were present in an area, it would be enveloped in Poison Powder.

If other Demon Clan or Human Clan passed through that area, they would experience a variety of hallucinations.

The Butterfly Demon Clan not only feasts on the flesh and blood of other demon races but also preys on the Human Clan.

Therefore, the Butterfly Demon Clan is regarded as hostile to humans.

Usually, when a Human Warrior encounters the Butterfly Demon Clan, they either immediately flee or slay them on the spot.

"What exactly does Liuyun Immortal Sect want to test us on? Our storage rings have been confiscated, we don't have any weapons at all!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered rapidly, his mind racing with thoughts, yet despite his deliberation, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

He couldn't determine whether Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass existed where the Butterfly Demon Clan gathered. But what if it really was there?

Earlier, when braving the territory of the Cannibal Demon Wolves, he had concealed his Life Aura, yet he had extended his Divine Sense, meticulously searching every place he passed.

But now, he did not dare to rashly enter the territory of the Butterfly Demon Clan, fully aware that areas occupied by the Butterfly Demon Clan contained Poison Powder, which could cause a Martial Artist to hallucinate upon intoxication.

Facing the Cannibal Demon Wolves, he could completely rely on suppressing his Life Aura to stealthily avoid detection.

Moreover, even if he was discovered by them, he could just use the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps to make a Rapid Escape.

However, once he entered the territory of the Butterfly Demon Clan, it was highly likely that he would get poisoned.

The Poison Powder of the Butterfly Demon Clan was extremely potent and pervasive.

Although he could also deploy a Defensive Light Shield to protect himself from the infiltration of the Poison Powder,

if he really did deploy a Defensive Light Shield, then he would definitely be detected by the Butterfly Demon Clan, which would lead to a fierce battle with them.

Currently, he had no Dark Weapons at hand, nor any Elixir Pills for protection. Moreover, the Butterfly Demon Clan in front of him were all of the Martial Sect Realm, and if he got surrounded by them carelessly, the situation would be more dire than auspicious.

Duan Gujin exhaled a heavy breath; an idea had come to him. He felt he could make the Cannibal Demon Wolves and the Butterfly Demon Clan fight each other.

As long as they fought amongst themselves, he could take advantage and reap the benefits!

With such thoughts, Duan Gujin's brain whirled again and he came up with a plan.

So, he immediately returned to the territory of the Cannibal Demon Wolves. He released his Life Aura, intentionally allowing those Cannibal Demon Wolves to detect his presence.

As he saw the Cannibal Demon Wolves sprinting crazily towards his direction, Duan Gujin proceeded to move towards other areas inhabited by them.

Soon, over ten Cannibal Demon Wolves were following him.

The Cannibal Demon Wolves howled, their bodies emitted a strong Killing Aura, and their Divine Sense locked onto Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin let out a breath, then he planned to lead these Cannibal Demon Wolves into the territory of the Butterfly Demon Clan.

However, the unexpected happened.

Although he breached the domain of the Butterfly Demon Clan, the Cannibal Demon Wolves following him suddenly gave up the chase.

This scene nearly made him cough up blood in frustration.

"Could it be that Liuyun Immortal Sect has set up an Array here to prevent these Demon Beasts from running around everywhere?"

He quickly came upon this possibility.

If that was the case, then it would be impossible to use any stratagem to have the Cannibal Demon Wolves and the Butterfly Demon Clan slaughter each other, allowing him to gain the advantage.

After a few attempts, he still didn't succeed, and it all ended in failure.

No matter what he did to infuriate the Cannibal Demon Wolves, as soon as they reached the territory of the Butterfly Demon Clan, they all retreated.

Faced with this situation, Duan Gujin was out of options.

"If that's the case, then I can only take a risk!"

Duan Gujin went under a large tree, flew up, and swiftly shaved off a lot of branches, then he fashioned several wooden stakes.
