Evergreen Palace.
The once-in-a-century True Disciple Assessment was currently being arranged.
A few days ago, Ling Tian emerged from seclusion. The first thing he did was rush to Xin Yi's bedside, wanting to give her a surprise.
His long seclusion had left his heart trembling, Endless longing filling his entire being.
Just as he was looking forward to being intimate with Xin Yi, she unexpectedly poured cold water on him.
He did not think much of it, assuming Xin Yi was truly tired. Since there was no need to rush, he left to handle the palace's affairs.
The once-in-a-century True Disciple Assessment of Evergreen Palace was about to begin, and preparations were indeed needed.
Upon arriving at the main hall, the Hall Masters and Elders had already been waiting for a long time. Ling Tian sat proudly atop the platform, Arrogance Defying the Gods, while the Hall Masters and Elders immediately bowed respectfully.
Ling Tian spoke directly about the True Disciple matter. Orders were swiftly issued, and the Hall Masters began making careful arrangements.
The True Disciple Assessment differed from advancement into the inner sect. It was not merely an ordinary battle to display strength and talent; it also included Illusion Realm Exploration and the Three Gods Trial.
It focused on examining the disciples' hearts, character, and Dao hearts.
The illusion realm was jointly arranged by the Hall Masters and Elders, with the location chosen as the dense forest behind Evergreen Palace. It was exceedingly dangerous within. Though it was an illusion realm and dying within it did not mean true death, it placed an extreme strain on one's mental state.
Some disciples could not endure it and ultimately suffered mental collapse, losing their Dao hearts and becoming Mental Puppets. They would remain forever stuck at their current disciple rank.
