Three moves.
Mu Fusheng's three consecutive moves gave the middle-aged man no chance to catch his breath.
If Mu Fusheng's current cultivation level was not merely at the Domain Divine Realm, then the middle-aged man would likely already be dead and his cultivation extinguished...
The old man stared at the reflection in the water mirror, his face extremely solemn.
"The first move, the Talisman Gathering Technique, is undoubtedly the most powerful. However, this most powerful killing move is used as a smokescreen, merely to deceive the opponent and unleash the real killing blow..." The old man sighed, "Such combat awareness is terrifying. Even I couldn't have thought of so much in such a short time."
The Jiu Bailu were not surprised at all.
Mu Fusheng was always like this; he could quickly devise the best way to deal with an enemy.
The old man looked at Jiu Bailu and said with a wry smile, "Now I understand why you said that perhaps I wouldn't need to dispel the illusion."
With this kind of strength and combat awareness, crossing borders is really not a problem; even if they can't win, they can escape.
Jiu Bailu shook her head and laughed, "That's not the issue right now. The important thing is that he's discovered the me there is fake."
At that moment, Mu Fusheng's voice came from the water mirror.
"You're really putting on an act. Are you testing me like this?"
The old man was taken aback. "How did he discover it? There were clearly no flaws."
Jiu Bailu immediately thought of it.
It was probably when Mu Fusheng used the Talisman Gathering Technique that the flaw was discovered when he had the Jiu Bailu in the illusion use the defensive talisman given to them by Mu Fusheng to resist the aftershocks.
Although the old man relied on the illusion to cast a talisman barrier on the Jiu Bailu within the illusion.
But how could Mu Fusheng, a talisman master, not sense it?
Although this talisman barrier is of the lightning attribute, and although it is not much different from the talismans he created when released, it is still something he made himself, and he can still feel some subtle things when it is released.
However, the talisman barrier around Jiu Bailu was completely absent, which made Mu Fusheng somewhat suspicious.
From the very beginning, I wondered why the illusion was set up this way, and what exactly the test levels were trying to test them on?
Too many doubts.
Seeing this scene now, Mu Fusheng finally understood some things.
For example, the Jiu Bailu dressed in red and wearing a red veil is fake.
The middle-aged man's figure gradually disappeared.
Mu Fusheng put away the talisman, looked at Jiu Bailu dressed in red, and asked, "Is this illusion aimed at me?"
He then looked up at the sky and said loudly, "What, are you wondering if I'll come to your rescue if something like this happens again?"
No one responded.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Fusheng said, "Judging from this situation, you probably wouldn't do something like this. In other words, you passed the test, and the senior behind the scenes thinks you are exceptionally talented and that I am not good enough for you. This kind of thing will definitely happen in the future, so you wanted to test me, right?"
The Jiu Bailu possess the ability to discern cause and effect.
Perhaps it hasn't played a significant role yet.
This is quite normal, after all, this world doesn't place much importance on causality... or rather, it doesn't have the capacity to study this field.
That's why not many people targeted Jiu Bailu because of her abilities.
Who knows, maybe we'll travel to an even more powerful dimension in the future...
I've thought of that.
Mu Fusheng's thoughts gradually became clearer, and he gradually pieced together the reason for the illusionary trial.
I saw this scene reflected in the water mirror.
The old man remained silent.
Jiu Bailu smiled and said, "Senior, you can't hide it from him. He should have passed the test, right?"
The old man sighed with a wry smile and said, "I really don't know who taught him. To cultivate a disciple with such terrifying talent in both intellect and combat awareness, if this were in the Chaos Divine Dynasty, he would probably be treated as a treasure and enjoy all the resources poured into him."
He finished speaking.
The old man pointed towards the water mirror.
moment.
The illusion surrounding Mu Fusheng began to distort and then gradually disappeared.
Instead, there were old men and Jiu Bailu.
Mu Fusheng looked at Jiu Bailu and asked warily, "Is this for real this time?"
Jiu Bailu found it amusing and was about to step forward.
But Mu Fusheng instantly moved several dozen steps away from him.
The Jiu Bailu froze on the spot.
Mu Fusheng pointed at Jiu Bailu, whose talisman barrier had been fully deployed, resembling a tortoise shell. Even his thumb had touched his spatial ring, ready to retrieve the talisman at any moment.
"Don't move! Prove it first."
The old man's eye twitched.
Jiu Bailu was somewhat helpless, and then walked straight towards Mu Fusheng, her clothes fluttering, completely ignoring the talisman in Mu Fusheng's hand.
Seeing this, Mu Fusheng shouted, "If you don't stop, I'll really use it! Don't think I wouldn't dare!"
With a flash of the spatial ring, the talisman appeared in Mu Fusheng's hand.
only.
Jiu Bailu Jiu Bailu walked straight to Mu Fusheng Mu Fusheng veering off course, took his hand in hers, and, feeling the warmth of his palm, chuckled softly, "Are you sure now?"
Mu Fusheng was taken aback, and then put away the talisman.
Um.
It's true.
Only the Jiu Bailu has this kind of personality.
Immediately, Mu Fusheng's face lit up with anger, and he said, "What, are you testing me? You don't trust me at all?"
Jiu Bailu's face naturally showed grievance, and she pouted, saying, "Of course I trust you, it's just that Senior insisted on testing you."
The old man's lips twitched even more violently, "..."
I mentioned it briefly back then, but you readily agreed, didn't you? And your little face was full of anticipation.
How did they suddenly shift all the blame onto me?
Just because I'm old doesn't mean I can be bullied like this, right?
Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng glared at the old man with a hostile expression.
The old man coughed lightly, not intending to explain. Since he was just a wisp of a soul left, he might as well take the blame.
" Jiu Bailu's physique is too outstanding. It's unavoidable that we have to test you, since going to the Heaven Beyond Heaven will inevitably attract the attention of those powerful forces."
Mu Fusheng asked, "Senior, have you been to the Heaven Beyond Heaven? You seem to know a lot about the Heaven Beyond Heaven."
The old man shook his head. "I haven't been there, but... the Imperial Preceptor did go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, though he returned quickly."
The Grand Preceptor of the Chaos Divine Dynasty?
Mu Fusheng was taken aback. "Is there any other information about the Heaven Beyond Heaven?"
Although the matter in this realm has not yet been resolved.
However, Mu Fusheng was accustomed to planning ahead.
The old man said solemnly, "There's no more information, only that the people of the Chaos Divine Dynasty who want to go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven now only have a chance of survival if they go at the level of Sword Master or Divine Lord Master or Imperial Preceptor."
"It's not just that the people over there are much stronger than us, but also because the road to the Heaven Beyond Heaven is fraught with danger."
"For more specific details, you'll probably need to ask the Imperial Advisor in person after you meet him."
Mu Fusheng nodded and concluded, "So that means you don't know anything, senior. Alright, enough of that. Let's talk about what rewards we'll receive for passing the test."
