No one including Tang Yue knew if they were going to survive this ordeal or not. The entire network of underground tunnels shivered and trembled under the dragon's immense power. It repeatedly rammed its body against the barrier and shot out powerful orbs of thick swirling energy from its mouth. "Damn it. Damn it. Damn it." Tang Yue cursed under her breath. Here she was once again running from the same damned dragon again! The barrier will hold! The old man had declared with such conviction but right…-

"Don't look back and keep going. We are almost there." Jin Nuhen loudly commanded. He could see all the snakes visibly shivering. "I know that the sight of the massive army is terrifying, but our Empress trusted us and gave us an order." "We need to be strong and keep striving forward. Don't you all want to see your brothers and sisters again?" Everyone nodded and clutched the weapons in their hands tighter as they kept digging forward. They had already reached the hardened rocks of the chasm and they…

Tang Yue happily joined the salamander and allowed her body to be pulled towards it. She then casually walked into the center of the spiraling firestorm and gazed at the big round eyes of the Emperor beast. "You called me and I am here. What now?" She chuckled. The salamander watched her incredulously as its powerful lava flames did not even tickle her body. It even watched her spit on the flames as if they were beneath her. The flames that were hot enough to instantly vaporize her spit into…

Jin Nuhen and the dozen spirit snakes quickly reverted to their lamia form and started digging through the earth as fast as they could. With Tang Yue having successfully diverted the attention of the Emperor beast, there was no longer the presence of the intimidating pressure holding them back. They shoveled the thick densely packed grains of sand and rocks back and forth and back and forth, slowly and steadily extending the tunnel route all the way to the chasm. Luckily the distance was not too much…

A few days passed and when Tang Yue stepped out of the trials, tired and beaten down, she saw all the snakes gathered around, waiting for her. "Your highness." Everyone bowed and paid their respects, as soon as they saw her. Tang Yue panted, taking deep breaths, and muttered in between. "What happened?" Jin Nuhen, Jin Wei's son stepped forward and answered her. "Your highness. We have tracked and traced all the tunnels leading away from the palace." "Oh! Already?" Tang Yue raised her brow in…

"Masta… this is blasphemy… but I can't take it anymore." Little Blue whined and rolled around on the ground. Tang Yue nodded and didn't say anything. She was already used to this as the two wolves behaved in the same way as if they had discussed things beforehand. Almost an entire week had passed since everyone arrived at the palace and there wasn't a single peaceful moment after that. Not that Tang Yue was complaining. She especially found this particular routine very amusing. All her three…

"Where is Jin Wei?" Tang Yue asked, seeing the bunch of snakes slithering in front of her. She wanted to talk to the clan elder about the other snakes back in the chasm as obviously the full population was not yet in front of her. However, weirdly, as soon as she mentioned the name, the smiling faces in front of her suddenly changed and their expressions turned solemn. Tang Yue had a bad feeling. "What happened?" She asked again. And since it was her, they did not dare hesitate to answer her any…

The palace disappeared from her vision and instead, the familiar vast desert and the abnormal mana river appeared in front of Tang Yue. But this time, instead of five pillars, she observed a total of six pillars, standing tall amidst the turbulent waters of the river. "Just as I thought…" Tang Yue hissed as her emerald eyes shone with a mysterious glint. She knew exactly what she had to do now. She swam through the mana waters and reached the center when she once again failed after cultivating for a…

As she entered the trial grounds, Tang Yue once again found herself in the familiar desert with an unusual turbulent river running through it. However, the pressure and the oppressive force exerted by the sands of the desert and hot air swirling did little to nothing to her this time around. She walked leisurely over to the river and dived into it without a second thought. Crossing the wild untamed river was also just as easy and in a jiffy she reached the center of the five pillars standing…

"Damn it. This is the fifth time already." Tang Yue chewed and spat out her nails as she paced back and forth in the empty palace. She was still stuck at the second trial and hadn't been able to progress beyond that. The five pillars really had her in a bind that she was unable to break free from. "Hmmm… So each pillar emits an elemental essence apart from the violent and oppressive aura and pressure." "The five different pillars represent the five elements of nature and I have to attain the blessings…
