The Legend of Loneliness in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou

"Unbelievable! Even items made by Earth Immortal can be counterfeited?"

After wandering around the Trial Area without any problems, Bai Qiuran returned and stared blankly at the blue-glowing Trial Stone Stele.

Tang Ruowei and Li Jinyao, who were standing to the side, as well as the Black-Robed Figure was secretly watching Bai Qiuran from behind the scenes, were also watching this scene in surprise.

"How could there be no response?"

The Black-Robed Figure in the darkness couldn't help but say, "Haven't he ever experienced the taste of family and love in all his long life?"

However, most of the mechanisms already established within the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode were beyond his control. The moment his voice fell, the text on the Stone Stele in the spatial layer where Bai Qiuran located dimmed.

"Why did it stall?"

Bai Qiuran slammed his hand on the Stone Stele and shouted to the sky, "What's going on? Don't your Earth Immortal products come with a warranty?"

"The Stele Inscription has gone out, which means that the Sword Ancestor passed the trial?"

Even the exceptionally intelligent Li Jinyao couldn't understand it.

"But why...?"

Tang Ruowei stared blankly at her master for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Ah, I understand!"

Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao both looked at her questioningly. Tang Ruowei paused, then pointed at Bai Qiuran and laughed, "Master truly lives up to his reputation as a man who has been single for over three thousand years. I didn't believe it when Sect Master Su told me, but now, after reading the book, the Legend of Loneliness in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou is no joke..."

Upon Bai Qiuran's expression darkened, and he retorted, "What nonsense is this traitorous disciple spouting? Even so, I still have a master who is both a teacher and a father to me!"

"Then our grandmaster Ascension. If we have to match him to these Earth Immortal, then he's Heavenly Immortal."

Tang Ruowei blinked and asked in return, "Given the current style of Earth Immortal, would they dare to actively cause trouble for the Immortals of the Immortal Realm?"

Bai Qiuran speechless.

Seeing his dejected appearance, Li Jinyao thought for a moment and also stepped into the Trial Area. She followed the path Bai Qiuran taken and walked around it. Along the way, Tang Ruowei saw that a mist had formed, and all sorts of people came out of the mist and said something to Li Jinyao. Among these people, Tang Ruowei also saw the current Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect Ji Lingyun.

However, Li Jinyao calmly walked past these people. When the illusionary Ji Lingyun tried to stop her, she kicked her without hesitation.

When she walked around and came back, the inscription on the Stone Stele had disappeared from her perspective.

"I see, I understand now."

Looking at the extinguished Stele Inscription, Li Jinyao said, "This trial is actually meant to evoke the pain you felt when your loved ones left you. In other words, as long as your other emotions outweigh this pain, this trial is not difficult at all."

"I see."

Tang Ruowei asked, "But Sister Li, why did you kick Sect Master Ji?"

"Oh, that's because my master, who usually acts like a tomboy and a goofball, suddenly showed me that sentimental, life-or-death kind of look that only happens in novels. I felt a bit disgusted, Consciousness I felt like I was betraying my master."

Li Jinyao replied, "But as expected of my master, I was able to pass this trial mainly thanks to her."

As she spoke, Ji Lingyun, who was far away outside the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason. The sneeze aggravated her muscles, causing her to wince in pain from the wounds inflicted by Bai Qiuran.

"Then I think my chances are slim."

Tang Ruowei said, "Compared to Sister Li, my mental cultivation is definitely insufficient, and I am not as alone as Master."

"Give it a try; it's a good way to toughen up your mind."

Li Jinyao advised, "Besides, with the Sword Ancestor here watching over things, there shouldn't be any danger. Cultivation should sever worldly ties. I see that Junior Sister Ruowei, you're only twenty-four this year, your family should all be alive and well, and you should even be from a wealthy family. Taking this opportunity to fill the gaps in your mental state is a very good choice."

"Okay then."

Tang Ruowei looked at Bai Qiuran hesitantly.

"Master, I'm off then."

"Get out, get out."

Bai Qiuran looked utterly bored.

Go see your family.

Tang Ruowei was furious. She snorted and stormed into the trial area with her hands on her hips.

As soon as she stepped into the Trial Area, clouds and Cloudmist suddenly surged into the surroundings. Tang Ruowei turned around and found that she could no longer see Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao.

She was slightly nervous, but after swallowing hard, she decided to move forward.

After walking for a while, the surrounding Cloudmist dissipated, and she suddenly found herself on a battlefield.

Corpses littered the surrounding area, countless Yao Mo and Human Race lay dead on the ground, and a chilling True Essence permeated the air.

On a rock ahead, leaning against the rock was a beautiful girl with a high black ponytail. She was wearing women's armor, but she was severely injured, and blood was flowing from her body, pooling on the ground.

Tang Ruowei recognized the dying girl as Zuo Yanfei, a friend she had met in Dingguo during her first trip down the mountain after joining the sect, who came from the Divine Martial Heavenly Army.

After returning to the mountain, the two of them kept in touch by letter and had become good friends.

"Ah, Ruowei."

The hallucinating Zuo Yanfei also "saw" her, and smiled very weakly at her, "You've come. It feels good to see a friend like you in the last moments of my life."

Tang Ruowei knew that this Zuo Yanfei was a fake, but seeing her friend's miserable state, she couldn't help but feel sad.

She knew that as a disciple of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army, whose mission was to protect the Human Race, Zuo Yanfei might end up in such a state in the future.

Tang Ruowei resisted the urge to go over and take a look. She kept her head down and walked Zuo Yanfei, continuing forward. The mist surged in again, and this time, what appeared before her was the frail and elderly Shangxuan Emperor, lying on his sickbed, giving his last instructions.

Beside her, her younger brother, who had become the Crown Prince of Shangxuan, and his voluptuous Crown Prince, were listening to the last words of the Shangxuan Emperor.

Tang Ruowei couldn't help but choke up. Compared to Zuo Yanfei, this scene was almost inevitable. She joined the Azure Nether Sword Sect and embarked on the path of immortality, but the Shangxuan Emperor was just a Mortals. In the not-too-distant future, the father and daughter would face separation.

She couldn't help but walk to the bedside, wanting to hear the Shangxuan Emperor's last words.

"My son, you've grown up and are capable of leading this country. I believe you will make it even better."

The Shangxuan Emperor coughed weakly twice, then took her younger brother's hand and said, "My only worry is your elder sister who went to cultivate immortality. I've heard that the Azure Nether Sword Sect's Mystic Arts are unparalleled in the Cultivation World. Has she grown taller since practicing this method? Has she become more beautiful? Has she gotten married? How profound are the Azure Nether Sword Sect's Mystic Arts? How high is her cultivation level? Ruowei... has her chest gotten bigger?"

Click!

Upon hearing this, Tang Ruowei felt as if a string in her mind had snapped.

Endless humiliation and rage instantly engulfed her heart, and the power of her anger transformed the once weeping and lamenting weak girl into a berserk tyrannical mother dragon.

"Damn that Earth Immortal! What kind of monstrous Illusion Realm has he created?!"

The girl roared and smashed the scene in front of her into pieces with a single palm strike.

"Eat shit!"
