Loose cultivator Shi Lang gradually found himself in the realm of invincibility. However, when he finally tried to ascend to the higher realm, the spirit of the world was nearly exhausted. So, between his ascension to a new world or the well-being of his home, he chose the latter and sacrificed his life to save the world. Nobody knew what he gave up for the world, and he told no one.

As soon as City Lord Pie announced that the final round of the assessment was commencing, everyone trained their ears on it. Shi Lang watched the four people behind the City Lord and said, "It's a good thing we came prepared."
Yun Xue wanted to ask him what he meant when Old Pie said, "The participants who managed to pass the assessment yesterday will now be sent into a secret realm."
Azul Herman stepped up and continued, "You will aim to fight with each other and snatch the jade slip. Once the jade slip has been taken away from you, the rules of the secret realm will eject you from the realm. The five staying inside the longest will participate in the main tournament. The assessment is seven days long. Inside the secret realm, the time is different. One day here is seven days there."
The crowd was surprised and anticipatory. Yang Tie asked, "Senior Pie, can we see the assessment proceeding?"
