Hiss——!

The view before Chen Zhixing gradually turned dark, the void surging toward him like a tide.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the center of the hall.

In the center of the hall stood a three-zhang tall white stone statue.

The stone statue was lifelike, depicting a woman soaring to the moon, with her garment's sash hanging down, a sharp chin, closed eyes, and a diamond-shaped crystal mark at the center of her brow.

"What is this?"

Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow.

"If my guess is correct, this should be the First Generation Snow Demoness. Although the Snow Demon Race is said to be a variant of heaven and earth, if traced back, they actually evolved from the Human Race."

The voice of Sword Spirit Qingzhi echoed in Chen Zhixing's mind:

"It's said that in ancient times, there was a holy land known as the Red Dust Pure Land, later the Red Dust Saintess was beset by misfortune and fled deep into the Frozen Plateau. Eventually, when she reappeared to the world, she had transformed into the image of the Snow Maiden."

"Is that so..." Chen Zhixing nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, bringing Qingzhi along this time was an incredibly wise decision. He's like a little encyclopedia, knowing something about everything.

"How should I break through the test?"

Chen Zhixing furrowed his brow, scrutinizing the Snow Maiden stone statue.

After entering the hall, aside from the statue, there was nothing else.

What happened to the promised ancestral test?

Could it be that he's just supposed to stare at the statue big-eyed?

"Young master, what people usually call an ancestral test is actually a kind of inheritance, with the test being a means left behind to select inheritors."

"Presumably, the test is hidden within this stone statue. Young master just needs to explore slowly and surely will find the answer!"

Sword Spirit Qingzhi declared confidently.

"If that's the case..."

Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, suddenly clenching his fists with his shoulders, his gaze towards the statue turning fierce and ruthless!

Chaos forces began to rise around him as the center!

"Then smash it!!!"

...

...

Meanwhile.

On the peak behind the Stone Palace of the Frozen Plateau.

A group of Snow Demons and Ziwei Chen Family cultivators were mixed together, looking at the five black palaces.

After three days had passed, the initially fierce battling two groups were now surprisingly harmonious, constantly whispering to each other and chatting in hushed tones.

"Elder Nether, is the external world really that interesting? Will women flock to me if someone of my cultivation goes out?"

"Of course, Brother Xue Yin! You, staying in this barren Frozen Plateau, how could you know how wonderful the outside world is? Someone like you, not only handsome but also with strong cultivation, would instantly charm countless girls if you ventured out. Women from all regions would compete to make you their companion!"

"Ah... is that true?" Xue Yin's face reddened slightly, with a hint of expectation deep in his eyes.

"Of course. Hehe, if Brother Xue Yin ever gets the chance to leave the Frozen Plateau, I'll take you to the Jile Sect to experience the flavors there... I guarantee you'll savor it deeply, never want to leave, feeling as if you're floating among the immortals!"

"This...? Elder Nether, tell me more! Tell me more!"

The other members of the Snow Demon Race also continued to quietly inquire about the external world from the Chen Family cultivators beside them, a look of longing and admiration constantly flickering in their eyes.

The Snow Demon King stood at the front with hands behind his back, his face growing darker, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

"Shut up!!!"

The Snow Demon King couldn't hold back anymore; he shouted sternly, "Stop spreading seductive and deceptive words here! Don't bring the external world's wicked influence to my Frozen Plateau!"

The crowd of Snow Demons immediately shrank their necks and dared not ask more.

But the longing in their eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Elder Nether, still be mindful of moderation,"

Chen Tianchen reminded, then bowed towards the Snow Demon King and asked:

"Snow Demon King, may I ask what exactly is the test of your esteemed land? Why has there been no activity from our Patriarch after entering?"

The Snow Demon King glanced sidelong at Chen Tianchen and replied faintly:

"I don't mind telling you; we have five tests, each with its own method; they become increasingly dangerous as you go along. And the first test is named Sincere Intent."

"Sincere Intent? What is Sincere Intent?" Chen Tianchen asked, puzzled.

The Snow Demon King looked at the first black palace, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appearing on his lips.

"This test is both easy and difficult! Inside the palace is a statue of our Snow Demon Ancestor. You just need to sincerely perform the three kneels and nine kowtows ritual towards the Ancestor statue to pass the test unharmed!"

"Otherwise, no matter how gifted, perceptive, or lucky you are, you won't find a way to pass and will be trapped in the first ancestral land forever!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianchen slightly sighed with relief; it seemed like this test wasn't difficult.

"Wait!"

However, Chen Tianchen suddenly seemed to realize something, his pupils rapidly contracting as he instantly reacted: "Did you inform the Patriarch about the secret of the Sincere Intent test?"

The Snow Demon King heard this, and her hidden smile immediately widened, arrogantly laughing:

"How could I possibly tell him how to pass? Isn't this boy quite capable? Didn't he always boast about perishing together with my Frozen Plateau? If I don't make him suffer a bit, how can I let him pass so easily?"

As she spoke.

Bang——!!!

A thunderous roar suddenly emanated from the first palace, echoing like muffled thunder, shaking heaven and earth!

In an instant, the Snow Demon King, who was laughing wildly just a moment ago, had her smile freeze.

"Wha... What on earth happened?"

"What occurred inside the ancestral land?!"

The crowd of Snow Demons and countless Chen Family cultivators all slightly changed expression, their eyes uniformly turning towards the first ancestral hall.

Bang Bang Bang!

Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!!

Thundering explosions continuously erupted from inside the hall, shaking the entire area of a hundred miles with tremors!

In the first black hall.

"Ox Demon Shattering Star!!"

"True Dragon Divine Fist!!!"

"Innate One-Flame Hand!!"

"Hand of the Heavens!!!"

Chen Zhixing turned into a shadow, ferocity flashing in his eyes, crazily and wildly bombarding around the statue of the Snow Demon Ancestor soaring to the moon!

One by one, the unrivaled Great Divine Techniques capable of suppressing the world were unleashed by Chen Zhixing like splattered ink on mountains and rivers, all pouring onto the Snow Demon Ancestor statue.

Bang Bang Bang!

Bang Bang Bang!!

The entire hall shook madly!

"Flying Immortal!!"

When Chen Zhixing drew the Cyan Pheasant Divine Sword and slashed at the face of the Ancestor statue.

Crack Crack Crack!

A crack appeared at the brow of the statue, followed by countless fine lines resembling a spider web swiftly spreading across the statue's entire body!

"I thought I really couldn't hurt you."

Chen Zhixing panted slightly, then drew his right fist back like a full bow; he fiercely punched the statue's head like a cannonball!
