At the entrance of the Lingxiao Sect's mountain gate, there were no disciples guarding it. However, on both sides, there were about a dozen various beast stone statues.
At this moment, one of the statues that resembled a black bear suddenly opened its eyes, transformed into a black shadow, and flew out, reaching the stage in the blink of an eye.
"A stone puppet?"
Huangfu Zihui curiously examined it.
Although young and inexperienced in exploring the outside world, her status as a noble allowed her to have perspectives that were incomparable to ordinary cultivators. The sight of a stone puppet simply fascinated her but did not overly surprise her.
Apparently, this wasn't her first encounter with such a thing.
"This puppet is called 'Taowu', a serpent dragon realm seventh-stage entity. Any cultivator under thirty, as long as they can withstand it for fifteen minutes, will pass the first round of the examination," Shi Chong explained.
