Two months later, Chen Mu's inner world had already taken the shape of a real plane.

Although this prototype plane is only about ten square meters, it is a real plane. Chen Mu can use it as a storage space, or even set it up as a small workshop.

In the future, if Chen Mu creates a stable ecological environment inside, living things can survive there, but that's a story for another time.

"The two-year term has expired. According to my agreement with my master, he should be released today. I hope nothing unexpected happens."

Chen Mu didn't cultivate today; instead, he nervously looked around, hoping to see Elder Ming emerge from the space tunnel.

As the saying goes, heaven helps those who help themselves, and not long after, Chen Mu really saw Elder Ming's figure.

"Master, come in quickly."

Chen Mu quickly activated the formation, guiding Elder Ming into the invisibility formation.

After Elder Ming returned, the four of them were now all together. Chen Mu then planned to enter the cave again to continue the trials.

"While the Kunlun Secret Realm is still relatively uncrowded, I'll go into the First Grotto-Heaven with Grandpa Turtle this time."

We will be back as soon as possible. Please be careful and do not leave this concealment array unless absolutely necessary.

White Turtle only has the First Grotto-Heaven left to enter but hasn't gone in yet, while Chen Mu also has the First Grotto-Heaven to enter. So the two of them decide to go in together and complete the trial as soon as possible.

Once the White Turtle emerges, it can protect Mingye and the others outside, allowing Chen Mu to focus on completing the remaining cave trials.

" Xiao Le, while I'm away, you must follow your sister Mingye's instructions and not act recklessly again."

Before leaving, White Turtle gave Zhou Xinle a few instructions, telling her to follow Mingye's orders.

During this time, White Turtle had already reunited with Zhou Xinle.

Zhou Xinle's father, " Black Fox God " Zhou Jin, was indeed a longtime friend of White Turtle. They had a deep friendship, so White Turtle treated Zhou Xinle like his own daughter.

"Yes, I understand, White Grandpa Turtle."

Zhou Xinle behaved very obediently, which completely overturned Chen Mu's understanding of the Heart Devil Fox's temperament.

"You humans often talk about the myriad aspects of human nature, but demons are the same."

Because of its innate talent, the Heart Devil Fox has witnessed the dark side of human nature, so most of its members are treacherous and cunning.

However, there are also a few Heart Devil Fox who can view human nature positively and seek common ground while respecting differences. These Heart Devil Fox are often able to go further.

Although Xiao Le is Heart Devil Fox, she has maintained a pure and innocent heart throughout her many years of cultivation, which is truly rare.

The White Turtle stroked its long whiskers and smiled as it cleared up Chen Mu's doubts.

"Don't underestimate Xiao Le. She has only been cultivating for over forty years and is one of the most talented divine children in the Thousand Illusions Demon Realm. Even the 'Demon Emperor' Pu Qing values her highly."

If you really kill her in the Destruction Grotto-Heaven, you'll be in big trouble.

Hearing the White Turtle's warning, Chen Mu was secretly startled. Sure enough, none of those who could enter the Kunlun Secret Realm so early had a background that was easy to mess with.

Chen Mu then handed over control of the invisibility array to Elder Ming Elder Ming gave him some World Crystal so that he could improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

Then the two stepped into the First Grotto-Heaven at the same time.

The First Grotto-Heaven, the True Qi Grotto-Heaven.

Qi, or energy, is a grotto-heaven that tests the cultivator's energy strength.

Within this grotto-heaven, cultivators can utilize all the energy within their bodies, such as Spiritual Power, Demonic Power, and Soul Power. However, their physical bodies, martial arts skills, and soul skills are unusable. If anyone wants to fight, they can only clash with the purest form of energy.

The trial in the True Qi Grotto-Heaven was actually to condense World Crystal.

Chen Mu and his substitute only need to condense two hundred World Crystal to complete the trial of this cave heaven, but the White Turtle's trial requires one thousand.

Just as Chen Mu was secretly troubled by the White Turtle, the White Turtle burst into laughter, appearing quite happy.

" Grandpa Turtle, are you alright?"

Chen Mu looked at White Turtle with concern, worried that he might be upset.

"What could be wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine."

The White Turtle ignored Chen Mu and explained directly, "You have no idea how difficult my trials were in those two cave heavens."

My trial this time was only five times more demanding than yours, how could I not be happy? This means my talent in True Qi is still quite outstanding.

Chen Mu was unaware, but White Turtle was very clear that the Kunlun Secret Realm's assessment of a trial participant's aptitude was comprehensive.

The reason why White Turtle's trials were so much more difficult than Chen Mu's was mainly because White Turtle was far too old, which contradicted the purpose of the Kunlun Secret Realm. Therefore, the trials he underwent were much harder than those of the others.

"Alright then! But a thousand World Crystal is no small amount; we need to think of a good solution."

On the Pan Emperor Continent, it typically takes Saint Level Early Stage cultivator two to three years to condense a World Crystal.

Even for Saint Level Peak cultivator, the speed at which they condense World Crystal can only be increased a few times at most. It would take at least seventy or eighty years to gather two hundred World Crystal.

However, the Kunlun Secret Realm will not remain open for more than ten years at most, so even if those people manage to enter the Kunlun Secret Realm, they will not be able to complete the trials here.

As a genius who created his own cultivation system, Chen Mu would naturally have no problem completing the trials here, but getting the White Turtle to complete the trials in a short period of time would be a considerable challenge for him.

"Based on my observation, the closer one gets to that mountain peak in this grotto-heaven, the denser the World Power becomes."

So the key to completing the trial lies there.

The area of True Qi Grotto-Heaven did not seem to be very large. Although they were scattered after entering, they were not far apart, so they reunited in a very short time.

Upon hearing Chen Mu's analysis, White Turtle made a decisive decision and immediately set off with Chen Mu towards the distant mountain peak.

"In the past year, at least a dozen people have entered the True Qi Grotto-Heaven. Now it seems they have all gathered on that mountain peak."

Chen Mu reminded White Turtle as he hurried along.

However, both of them were quite strong and had nothing to fear. It took them a little over an hour to reach the vicinity of the mountain peak.

To avoid attracting attention, Chen Mu deliberately covered his double's face so that no one could guess that he could undergo the trial twice by himself.

"What a wonderful place!"

As soon as Chen Mu arrived at the foot of the mountain, he sensed that the World Power here was at least twice as concentrated as in the edge areas, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

World Crystal are formed from the condensation of World Power. The denser the World Power, the faster the World Crystal condense.

Therefore, it is clear that this place is crucial for the trial participants to complete the Cave Heaven Trial.
