Qian Xunji looked at it with subtle eyes.
"It's the heart of light, immune to all evil. Enter Shadow Purgatory for seven days, have you forgotten?"
Great Immortal Huang was stunned for a moment, then straightened up his chest and looked upright.
"How is that possible? I just... I just wanted to see if you had forgotten!"
Qian Xunji: "... Oh."
"Really! I have a good memory. Who was it last time? I remember everything I took in the exam!"
"Who was that last time?"
"Uh..." Great Immortal Huang was stuck, "Just... just that one! Anyway, there is someone!"
Qian Xunji sighed, forget it, don't care about it.
"No nonsense, are you ready? I'll take you in."
Qian Xunji nodded and looked towards the door.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to in this Shadow Purgatory?"
Great Immortal Huang rarely became serious and narrowed his little eyes.
"Those evil spirits inside will get into your body and create an absolutely real illusion for you."
"Just remember one thing - stick to your heart, no matter what you see or hear, don't believe it."
"Creating an illusion? Okay, I get it."
"Well, let's go in."
Great Immortal Huang raised his two front paws and started to pinch.
"Mommy, mommy coax--"
Qian Xunji stared at it, waiting to see what earth-shattering magical power it would display.
"Immortal Huang's Decree, change!"
A golden light flashed.
Qian Xunji opened his eyes wide, and saw the golden light in front of him disappear, and the last roast chicken came into view.
The kind that is golden and shiny, with crispy skin and tender meat, and is steaming hot.
Qian Xunji: "..."
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I just woke up and I'm hungry. Let's eat something to cushion our stomach."
Qian Xunji looked at the roast chicken and didn't know what to say for a moment.
I saw Great Immortal Huang chewing and mumbling. "Hmm... it smells... it smells really good... it tastes amazing..."
Qian Xunji closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
He took back what he just said.
This guy isn't kidding him.
This guy is totally sick.
Finally, the roast chicken was finished.
Great Immortal Huang burped and licked his paws.
"It's comfortable. Only when you're full can you feel energetic about working."
Qian Xunji looked at it expressionlessly.
"What you just ate was changed by yourself."
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Okay, okay, stop nagging and get down to business." Great Immortal Huang walked to the center of the hall with his short legs.
There, stands a tall Statue of the God of Light.
Great Immortal Huang raised his front paws and groped for a while on the base of the statue.
Its movements were very skillful, and it was obviously not the first time it had done this.
"Click--"
A soft sound.
The base of the statue slowly cracked open, revealing the deep passage inside.
A cold breath surged out from the gap, accompanied by a faint and shrill wail.
Great Immortal Huang turned around and looked at Qian Xunji.
"Go in, remember, you can't come out in less than seven days."
Qian Xunji nodded and walked to the entrance of the passage.
"Got it."
Then, he stepped into the passage.
Behind him, the entrance slowly closed, blocking out all light from the outside world.
Inside Shadow Purgatory, it was pitch black.
There were only dim lights occasionally flashing in the distance, and shrill wails coming from all directions.
Qian Xunji Take a deep breath and step forward.
Shadow Purgatory--
Qian Xunji opened his eyes and found himself standing between a gray sky and earth.
The sky was leaden gray, with no sun or moon, just layers of billowing dark clouds.
The earth was a lifeless black, with no grass growing, and occasionally a few bones could be seen half-buried in the soil.
There are several bare peaks in the distance, and something is vaguely moving on the peaks.
The air was filled with the smell of decay, like rotting corpses mixed with moldy dead leaves.
Wailing sounds could be heard from all directions, sometimes distant and sometimes near, so shrill and shrill that it made one's scalp numb.
Qian Xunji suppressed the discomfort in his heart and stepped forward.
After walking a few steps, the surrounding fog suddenly surged.
Black shadows emerged from the fog, densely packed and overwhelming.
Those black shadows gradually solidified and turned into ferocious evil spirits.
Some have green faces and fangs, and their eyes are burning with green will-o'-the-wisps.
Some only have half of their faces left, and the other half is covered in bones.
Some had seven or eight arms, each holding a human head that was still bleeding.
Some had big holes in their stomachs and their intestines were dragged on the ground, but they were still crawling forward.
They surrounded Qian Xunji, but they didn't pounce on him, they just let out shrill laughter.
"Hehehe..."
"Hahahaha--fresh flesh and blood--"
Qian Xunji stood there with a calm expression.
He had expected this to happen.
At this time, a figure several times taller than the other evil spirits walked out of the fog.
The figure was dozens of feet tall. It was completely dark and its face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of blood-red eyes flickered in the darkness.
It spoke, and the sound was like metal scraping, extremely harsh.
"You are here to accept the trial of the Heart of Light."
"You are?"
"I was ordered by God of Light to guard this place."
"In addition to ordinary evil spirits, there are also seven evil spirits imprisoned here, corresponding to the seven original sins - pride, jealousy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust."
"God of Light promised them that if they can make those who come to test them corrupt, they will be let out."
"They will enter your body. If you can stick to your heart for seven days, you will pass the test. If not - they will have to stay here."
"You have to stay here together, have you thought clearly?"
Qian Xunji had a dark look on his face and asked, "I'm already here, is there any way out?"
"No more."
"Then you still ask, let's get started."
