Demon God
"Young Master Ye, will he be alright?" Lin Qingtan asked Ye Feng with some concern.
"It won't necessarily lead to death. But whether it will cause her to fall into demonic possession is hard to say," Ye Feng replied to Lin Qingtan. Dealing with inner demons is something only one can rely on; outsiders can only assist. However, this is an assessment, and Ye Feng won't go easy on her. Failing the assessment only means that Ling Qingzhu and Ye Feng are not destined for each other. "Would you like to see anything else?"
"Her!" Lin Qingtan pointed to a woman.
The woman was young, dressed in a light white robe. Her face was pretty and delicate, with large, clear eyes like a lake. Her long, black hair was tied into a ponytail that cascaded down to her supple waist, the tip of the ponytail slightly curved, exuding youthful energy and vitality. A subtle, peculiar energy emanated from her, faintly emitting clear, melodious sounds like the gentle tapping of musical instruments. Her hands were long and slender, white and smooth, resembling perfect mutton-fat jade, her long, delicate fingers perfectly proportioned, without the slightest flaw.
"Good."
Ye Feng was also curious about Ying Huanhuan most in her heart.
The image of a woman appeared in Ying Huanhuan's mind.
Lin Qingtan didn't know who that person was, but Ye Feng guessed that she must be the Eldest Senior Sister of the Dao Sect.
The Dao Sect had a woman of exceptional talent. She was Ying Huanhuan's Eldest Senior Sister. The Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect were enemies. Because of the long-standing feud between the two sects, the Yuan Sect feared Ying Huanhuan Yuan Sect's Eldest Senior Sister would become a formidable enemy in the future. Therefore, the Yuan Sect killed her.
Ying Huanhuan was deeply troubled by this matter and found herself caught in this vortex.
In Ying Huanhuan's mind, her Eldest Senior Sister was not dead. She arrived at the scene and saved her Eldest Senior Sister. Furthermore, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, making her the number one expert in the Eastern Xuan Region.
Ying Huanhuan destroyed the Yuan Sect. Under Ying Huanhuan's protection, the Dao Sect became the number one sect on the Tianxuan Continent.
"Alright."
"This illusion is really interesting!"
"It's so realistic. I almost got completely absorbed in it."
Ying Huanhuan looked at the many people he cared about beside him and stood up from her seat. She said, "Senior sister, the deceased is gone, and I have never been overly saddened. Your death is just a powerful driving force for me, not a powerful obstacle for me. You are all gone now."
Ying Huanhuan remained calm and composed. As soon as she finished speaking, the people showed expressions of relief and disappeared one by one.
Immediately afterwards, a ripple spread around Ying Huanhuan's body. The world spun around her. She found herself in a strange space.
"Mirror?"
Ying Huanhuan was taken aback. Another version of herself had appeared before her.
She reached out her hand.
The other person also extended their hand.
Just as their hands were about to touch, the other person, a smug smile playing on their lips, suddenly unleashed a palm strike that landed on Ying Huanhuan.
puff
Ying Huanhuan was sent flying by a palm strike, spitting out blood. The pain was gnawing at her nerves.
"Really?!"
Ying Huanhuan was stunned. Staring blankly at the other person, she asked, "Who are you?"
"I am you."
"Impossible, who are you?"
"I am you. You are me. Only by defeating me can you leave this space."
The same scene flashed through the minds of others. They had encountered an opponent, only their opponent was themselves.
Those illusory beings possessed the same combat experience, the same Martial Arts, the same mental techniques, and the same mindset. No matter how they attacked, they simply couldn't defeat their opponent. Not only could they not defeat them, but they were also beaten and injured all over.
"To conquer oneself is the mark of a true strong person. Is that right?" Lin Qingtan asked thoughtfully.
"Yes," Ye Feng said.
After a long while, Ying Huanhuan was the first to emerge from the illusion.
"Huh, I'm not injured?"
Ying Huanhuan's eyes pierced through the white mist, and she saw Ye Feng and Lin Qingtan in the courtyard. Stunned, she asked, "Was what I just experienced also an illusion?"
Illusion?
However, the illusion also contained touch, smell, and taste... everything was so real.
"Um."
Ye Feng responded.
"How can I be sure that I'm not still in another illusion?" Ying Huanhuan asked.
"Am I in your illusion? Have you seen me before?" Ye Feng asked Ying Huanhuan in return.
Ying Huanhuan was stunned for a moment.
She felt that Ye Feng's words made a lot of sense.
Everything that appeared in the illusion was familiar to her. As for the unfamiliar things, they had never appeared in the illusion before.
Illusions, illusions, arise from the heart. Nothing you've never seen before will appear.
"There is reality within illusion, and illusion within reality. Truth and falsehood are intertwined, and falsehood and truth are intertwined."
Having overcome his own fears, Lin Langtian felt even greater awe for Ye Feng.
If Ye Feng had wanted to kill him just now, he would have had no ability to resist.
Three hours later, the sun set.
"Time's up, the assessment is over."
Ye Feng's voice brought those trapped in the illusion back to the real world.
"You guys should go down the mountain now. Take them down with you," Ye Feng instructed Lin Zhentian.
Thank you.
Those who failed the assessment bowed deeply to Ye Feng with utmost respect.
The first challenge: traversing the Chaos God Light.
This process is practically a perk. It tests an individual's perseverance.
The cultivation speed inside the Chaos God Light is many times faster than outside. Their cultivation levels have seen a substantial breakthrough due to the first trial.
The second stage: Enlightenment.
This process can be described as the greatest opportunity of their lives.
Enlightenment tests one's comprehension.
Once you pass the test, you will be able to comprehend a law of nature that exists in the universe.
Mastering the power of laws is equivalent to possessing the ability to fight opponents of higher levels. Their combat strength has made groundbreaking progress.
The third hurdle: inner demons.
Cultivating one's mental state is extremely difficult. With the heart of a strong person, how could they possibly fail to become strong in the future?
The third stage of the test comes with a final bonus: fighting against oneself.
This is a rare opportunity. It allows people to recognize their shortcomings and tap into their potential.
Even if they fail to become apprentices, they still benefit greatly.
"Are you my master now?" a burly man dressed in animal skin asked Ye Feng.
"Mm." Ye Feng nodded.
"Master, please, save my child." The burly man took out a stone egg and handed it to Ye Feng.
"Is this the child?"
"Yes."
"Don't worry, he's fine."
"Master, but he's different from us. He was born as a stone egg. I've tried many methods, but none of them have worked." The burly man said anxiously.
"I'll wake him up." Ye Feng reached out and gently tapped the stone egg.
Click
The stone egg broke open, revealing a small child inside.
"Child." The burly man's eyes lit up with surprise.
"Yo... yo... yo..."
The child inside the stone egg was unusual in appearance, with horns on his head. The sound of his first cry was also quite unique.
"My child, you have finally been born."
The burly man was overjoyed, his eyes showing a kind expression as he looked at the still-crying child in his arms and said, "Oh? This voice is so unique. Alright, I've decided, from now on your name will be Chi You."
