The inside of the Weapon Section of the Forbidden Grounds was ringing with the painful cries coming from the girl who was kneeling in the very middle of the high platform.

Her torn clothes, disheveled and sweaty hair, the cuts all over her bare arms, feet, and hands were covered in blood.

The most shocking scene was the blood that was coming out from the palm of her right hand.

In all the blood that was dripping on the floor from that deep gash of her palm, tiny blue sparkling particles could be seen in that blood.

When she first closed her fingers around that blue sparkling ball of light, she had felt it penetrating her skin as it traveled up her arms and towards her shoulders.

It barely took a few seconds before that energy met with her heart and that was the exact moment when Li Ming let out that terrifying scream as her heart suddenly erupted in pain.

It was the worst kind of pain that she had ever suffered through in both of her lives.

Her already exhausted body was not prepared to deal with such intensity of pain that took over her body, leaving her in a mess.

Li Ming bit her lips as she tried to stop the screams of pain that were ready to slip from her lips.

For a moment she thought that she heard some kind of disturbances at the gate of the Weapon Section but as her ears piqued nothing when she tried to concentrate, she just shook her head and started paying attention to her own situation.

She could not wait for someone to appear there and help her. She knew her body and as far as she could tell, both her body and soul had suffered through so much in the past few hours that they won't be able to stand against the pain that was trying to kill her.

She felt like something was separating every single cell of her heart and then binding it together after adding something new to it and of course, the pain was beyond bearable.

It was like going through surgery without any anesthesia.

Li Ming grasped her chest with her left hand right above her heart as her breathing started getting completely out of her control. It was becoming harder for her to breathe due to the pain that was making her want to get lost in the darkness and never return.

Unknown to her, the Six Immortals and the old man were quick to reach the Forbidden Grounds as soon as they heard her scream and felt the tremor that shook the ground.

It did not take them long to locate the sobbing Snowy who was scratching at the ice walks of the Weapon Section as the little furball tried his best to find a way to get to his Master as soon as possible.

Within a mere second, both of the illusion arrays and the protection barrier at the entrance of the Weapon Section were taken down by the Heaven Emperor.

The Immortals accompanied by a worried Master and a panicked familiar entered the Hall of Spiritual Weapons.

No one was prepared to come across the scene that greeted their eyes inside the Hall of Spiritual Weapons.

"Master.....!"

"Ming'er!"

"Sweet..."

The newcomers stood there at the entrance in complete shock as they took in the condition of Li Ming who looked even paler than a vampire even though her body was covered in her blood.

She probably did not hear them because she kept struggling with the pain that was driving her insane.

Wen Guiying and Hei Long were the first ones to come out of their shock as the two immediately started running towards the high platform where their mate was suffering.

However, they never got the chance to even came across anywhere near the staircase that led to the top of the platform.

A huge energy wall appeared in front of them, creating a barrier between them and their mate.

But the thing that left them most surprised was the person that stood in front of that energy wall, stopping the Immortals from getting to their mate.

The person in the dark crimson cloak stood there with a sword in their hands. The message was clear. That person was there to stop the Immortals from helping their young mate.

"What the hell do you think you are doing? What kind of prank is this? Move out of our way." Wen Guiying shouted at that person as he glared at them with deadly eyes.

Unfortunately, the person in the crimson cloak made no move to step aside, and this only ended up infuriating those who were aware of that person's identity.

"What are you doing? Can't you see that Ming needs us? Don't play your dirty tricks right now. Move away!" Snowy shouted at the red cloak person as he also glared at them with his small teary eyes.

"Kara...!"

There was a warning in the Supreme Immortal's eyes as he glared at the banshee who did not give away her true feelings.

Her face was as emotionless as possible and when she spoke her voice held power, a warning of her own.

"I have warned you before too. There are some circumstances where you can't help her. This is one of those situations where she needs to deal with it on her own. Don't interfere."

It was like she was trying to make them understand something but the Immortals were far too panicked at that moment to pay attention to the meaning behind the words of the banshee.

As the Immortal Deities and Rulers of different provinces, all of them were aware of the word destiny and the rules that surrounded it.

However, at that particular moment, nothing was more important for them except for their young mate who needed their help.

"You too are aware that she is not in a state where she could deal with the power of the Lightning Whip. Not only she will need to tame the extreme power of the Spiritual Weapon but she will also need to absorb the lightning energy that soon will befall her. We can't take any chances seeing that she's too weak at this moment to go through something like that."

Wen Guiying shouted angrily at the banshee as he and the other Immortals started walking towards the staircase.

However, the banshee stroke her sword through the thin air, and it created a huge wall of fire right in front of the Immortals.

"I'm well aware of what is going to happen next. But just like I said, this is one of those situations where you need to trust her. Maybe she is not in a condition where she could pass this trial without any harm but it's too late to change anything. I know exactly what will happen if you all tried to interfere and you all know it too. But remember, I also know what will happen if you don't interfere."

Banshee's words made the Immortals stop in their tracks as they looked at their mate who was shivering due to the cold.

And just like that, from a single glance towards their suffering mate, they decided to interfere even though the consequences of their actions would not be good.

The banshee was quick to see the resolve that took over their eyes and a sigh left her lips.

"You all are not giving me any other option. I'm not asking you to trust me, rather, I'm asking you to trust your mate, to trust the bond that ties you all with her. Yes, she would suffer but we all know that she's powerful enough to pass through this. Maybe her body and mind were not in the state of fighting against what is coming but there's always her soul. If you really want to help her, then you can do that without interfering with this trial."

This time the Immortals actually stopped for real as they looked at each other.

The banshee was strong, powerful enough to give at least one of the Immortals run for their money at a time.

However, she was no match to the group of all the six Immortals together. The six of them formed a group with too much power to even exist.

It won't take them long to swipe the banshee out of their way and reach to their mate.

"I think she's right. Rather than interfering with the plan of destiny and creating even a greater problem, you all should think about helping her in a way that won't backfire." The old man finally broke the silence that had dawned over the huge chamber of the ice cave.

The Immortals quickly settled down in lotus positions forming a circle, more like a magical hologram.

They all turned their eyes towards their mate who was still oblivious to their presence.

Just when a sudden darkness started taking over the ice cave, the six Immortals pushed their purest spiritual qi out as the six different colored energy rays collided with each other and created a symbol.
