"That means human cultivators can set the rules for cultivation, while we demon cultivators can only follow the rules set by human cultivators."

Speaking of this, the demon venerable with temples frosted with gray sighed silently, "So no matter how powerful our demon cultivators' battle prowess is, we can't surpass those top human cultivators."

After hearing Tu Shan Che say this, Chen Xiao understood.

In fact, the principle is very simple, because humans are the spirit of all things, and the cultivation system was established by humans.

So no matter how powerful the demons are, no matter how high their cultivation realm is, they will always be slightly inferior when facing the top human powerhouses.

Because demon cultivation has a ceiling, and that ceiling is still set by human cultivators, so there's no way to win.

However, there are gains and losses. The power of the demons is reflected in other aspects. Under the same level of cultivation, humans are hardly a match for the demons.

"Okay, I've said so much nonsense, Brother Chen must be annoyed, let's start the trial!"

Tu Shan Che said.

"Yes!"

Chen Xiao nodded, then suddenly asked, "Brother Tu Shan, since Xu Eagle King can undergo the Seven Gods Trial, then you must have undergone it too. I wonder how many gods' recognition you obtained when you underwent the Seven Gods Trial?"

Since Xu Eagle King obtained the recognition of four gods, then Tu Shan Che, as the commander of the demons, must have obtained even more.

That's what Chen Xiao thought.

"Hehe, well, let me keep you in suspense, Brother Chen!"

Tu Shan Che smiled heartily and continued, "After you complete the trial, I'll tell you how many gods' recognition I obtained, how about that?"

"No problem."

Chen Xiao nodded indifferently. Since Tu Shan Che is not willing to say it now, then he won't force it.

"Brother Chen, please follow me."

Tu Shan Che led Chen Xiao to the very center of the hall, which happened to be the intersection of the gazes of the seven divine statues.

Tu Shan Che lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly, and a look of piety appeared on his face.

Then, a series of obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations were recited from his mouth.

Chen Xiao couldn't understand at all, but he felt it was awesome.

Because he felt that when Tu Shan Che began to recite the incantation, even the surrounding air became a bit more sacred.

"Buzz——"

Along with Tu Shan Che's incantation, the surrounding seven divine statues seemed to come alive.

Of course, they were still seven divine statues, but they gave people the feeling that they had life.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish——"

Seven different colored beams of light burst out from the eyes of the divine statues, gathering together like a rainbow.

A scroll emerged from the rainbow, quietly suspended in mid-air.

The moment the scroll appeared, the light in the eyes of the seven divine statues disappeared.

Chen Xiao noticed that the feeling on their bodies that seemed to have come alive suddenly disappeared, and they returned to the seven towering clay figures.

Tu Shan Che then opened his eyes, reached out, and held the scroll in his hand.

The scroll was still blooming with seven rays of light, and Chen Xiao understood that it represented the power of the seven gods.

Chen Xiao was a little puzzled. Wasn't it said that he was going to undergo a trial? What did Tu Shan Che mean by taking out a scroll? Could it be that this scroll is the key to the trial ground?

Amidst Chen Xiao's doubts, Tu Shan Che casually threw the colorful scroll out.

"Whirr——"

The scroll flew in mid-air, suddenly unfolded, and was more than ten meters long and more than one meter wide.

And on it was painted a magnificent landscape painting.

The landscape painting was radiant, full of charm, and naturally formed.

"Brother Tu Shan, what is this thing?"

Although this landscape painting is very beautiful, what does it have to do with the trial?

Chen Xiao was becoming more and more unable to understand what kind of medicine Tu Shan Che was selling in his gourd.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, why don't you take a closer look..."

Tu Shan Che said with a smile, he pointed to the landscape painting, with pious respect.

Chen Xiao took a closer look and found the clue.

It turned out that in this landscape painting, the elements contained in the Seven Gods were all gathered together.

Fire, water, wind, thunder, ice, grass, rock... the seven elements were all present.

"I understand!"

Chen Xiao suddenly realized, "This landscape painting is where the Seven Gods Trial is located, right?"

"As expected of Brother Chen, you are indeed smart!"

Tu Shan Che snapped his fingers excitedly and explained, "Brother Chen, the Seven Gods Trial is mainly a trial of the spirit, so when the trial begins, you need to separate your body and divine sense, and inject your divine sense into this Seven Gods Painting."

"As for how many gods' recognition you can obtain, it depends on your own ability."

"Of course, during this period, I will protect you and protect your body. You can rest assured and conduct the trial."

After listening to Tu Shan Che's words, Chen Xiao nodded: "Yes, I understand, Brother Tu Shan, I can start."

"You try to communicate with the Seven Gods Painting with your divine sense, and your divine sense will automatically enter the trial ground, but before starting, I have to remind you, brother, that you should act according to your ability in everything. Since it is a trial, there is a certain degree of danger. If you feel overwhelmed, get out quickly, otherwise, the worst result may be the destruction of your divine sense."

Tu Shan Che reminded him, and then added, "Moreover, with your current strength, Brother Chen, as long as you can obtain the recognition of three gods, no *Hua Xu* realm cultivator in the Immortal Hidden Realm will be your opponent!"

"Three?"

Chen Xiao muttered softly, then nodded, and his divine sense touched the Seven Gods Painting.

Immediately afterwards, the Seven Gods Painting flashed with light, and a blue dot the size of a fist appeared on the painting.

This fist-sized dot represents Chen Xiao.

"Brother Chen, don't let your brother down."

Tu Shan Che put away his smile, his face was serious, and his eyes were burning.

Then, he said softly: "Come in, don't crowd outside!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, the door of the hall opened, and the four demon kings all walked in.

The four demon kings stepped forward, Bai Guangda and Xiao Hei's eyes all looked at the Seven Gods Painting floating in mid-air, their eyes full of curiosity.

The two of them had not yet entered the Seven Gods Trial Ground, but Xu Eagle King and Golden Lion King were not so curious. They just glanced at it casually and then looked away.

Because the two of them had both experienced the Seven Gods Trial. Xu Eagle King obtained the recognition of seven gods, and Golden Lion King was slightly inferior, obtaining the recognition of three gods.

Being able to obtain the recognition of three or four gods sounds like not much, but in fact, in the era when every demon could enter the Seven Gods Painting once, being able to obtain the recognition of one god was already a genius existence that was one in a thousand.

However, that was already something that happened hundreds of years ago.

Since the spiritual source of Jiuzhou was destroyed, and the demons moved into the Qingqiu Secret Realm, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has been insufficient to support every demon to enter the painting.
