Zhao Lei felt like the spirit consciousness was telling him specifically, as he had just thought of doing it.

"Your test will happen on this arena, although it safe zone and you can't attack each other intentionally...In battle mistakes happen so I will judge if your actions were fair or not.

You will face an array projection of an early-stage Beast Core Formation realm spirit beast, or Grade 4 in simple terms.

This projection will act like a real beast, and it won't hesitate to tear you apart—and I won't save you. So those who are uncertain can leave right now. Usually, you will get only thirty breaths of time to do so, but for this time, I will allow it."

All six cultivators paled a little. It wasn't tough to take down an early-stage Grade 4 beast with six of them, but the bloodline of the beast also mattered.

If it had a good bloodline, then it would be far stronger than them. Beasts with noble bloodlines were like humans with special constitutions—such beasts were exceptional in every aspect.

Not to mention, there was no coordination among the six of them. They were basically divided into two groups.

"We all should take a heavenly oath to give our all when needed against this common test," Bai Lian spoke. She didn't want to die just because the two groups fought among themselves.

Others nodded, they also understood the importance of this test.

The spirit consciousness waited for two more breaths, and when no one left, it began speaking again. "Alright. There are not many restrictions in an outer ruin like this. The only restriction is that you cannot fly inside the stone slab arena. If you step out, then you will fall unconditionally—and that would mean death. You cannot fly above the wooden bridges either.

Now let me tell you about the rewards. See those six wooden bridges on the other side? They take you to special chambers where there will be a single treasure. Each of these six chambers contains a treasure, and what you get will depend on your luck."

Everyone's eyes lit up. So, they all could get at least one treasure from this ruin. This was perfect for those two cultivators who weren't from the Crimson Flame Palace or the Yin Yang Harmony Sect.

They had been afraid of getting the worst share or nothing at all previously, but with this, they didn't have to worry.

"Getting rewards is not the end, actually. You see, there is one array at the end of every cave you enter. If you are able to solve it or break it, then a new passage will appear which will take you to a common area where lies the single main treasure of this whole ruin.

Those who are able to break this array earlier will have a chance to obtain this treasure. But once someone picks this treasure, everyone else's passage will open on its own, allowing them to catch up to you, because the exit to the ruin will open slowly for you to leave immediately.

All in all, those who are weak and do not have the confidence to face others shouldn't even think about this treasure. But I know greed will consume you, so I doubt any of you will give up on this, because the main treasure will always be something from the Grade 5 realm."

Everyone's eyes lit up at the mention of a Grade 5 treasure, but Lin Feng was amused. This senior surely knew how to entice everyone as well as warn them.

He really didn't have to mention that the treasure was of the Grade 5 realm, because that would definitely increase greed among everyone. So, basically, he truly wished for others to get consumed by their greed, yet he also mentioned the dangers of doing so.

"Alright then, that is everything. Proceed to the stone slab. Once everyone enters it, the test will start." As he said that, the cave suddenly lit up with different brilliance as several shining arrays activated, and the orb of consciousness disappeared.

Now the only thing left was for all six of them to move and enter the stone slab arena.

"Wait a second. Senior said about everyone, doesn't that mean he wants all seven of us to enter?" Bai Lian looked at Lin Feng while stating that.

"Yes, it seems like it," Luo Ming nodded. "Well, it doesn't matter. Let's take the heavenly oaths."

All of them nodded, and since Bai Lian had proposed the idea of the heavenly oath, she went first.

"I, Bai Lian, take a heavenly oath to give my all when needed and to not deliberately target anyone during the test we are taking together, unless someone targets me deliberately."

She added that last sentence in case someone refused to take the oath after her. She wasn't going to fall into such traps.

It was safe zone so they can't target each other anyway, Here deliberately means that she wouldn't use beast as shield to attack others.

Others nodded, as there was nothing wrong with this oath.

One by one, they began taking similar oaths, and when it came to Zhao Lei, he changed the oath a little.

"I, Zhao Lei, take a heavenly oath to give my all when needed in this test and not to deliberately target anyone who is in the Soul Sea realm unless someone targets me deliberately."

Bai Lian frowned. She felt a little pity for hidden cultivator, as this oath taken by Zhao Lei gave him enough leverage to pull some moves that could become lethal for this hidden cultivator.

No doubt Zhao Lei wouldn't be able to attack directly since it was still a safe zone as the senior had said, but he could still draw the beast's attention toward the hidden cultivator—and that could effectively become fatal for him.

She sighed. In the end, it was this hidden cultivator's fault for doing everything, so why was she even worried? Her sister was right—she was too innocent to see the outer world.
