The prodigy left dejectedly, without saying a word to Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin.

"This should be an illusion array," Dongfang Mian guessed, because as far as she knew, the divine beasts were least adept at illusion arrays.

"Hmph, I'll handle a mere illusion array," Yan Lin stepped forward, determined to show off his strength to Dongfang Mian.

Before Dongfang Mian could stop Yan Lin, he stepped inside. Dongfang Mian saw Yan Lin freeze in place after stepping inside, as if some scene had appeared before his eyes.

This was the first time Dongfang Mian had ever seen someone else navigate through an illusion array. She watched closely, feeling very curious, because the last illusion array she had actually experienced was during the Divine Beast Mountain assessment.

Normally, common illusion arrays are divided into several levels. The lowest level illusion array will only cause a monster to appear out of thin air and attack you. This kind of illusion array usually appears on low-level continents like the Vermilion Bird Continent. It is used by cultivators to scare mortals and will not cause much harm.

A slightly more advanced method, the most common in the human world, will first confuse you, making you unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and then exploit your weaknesses to attack you, potentially causing you to be injured in the attack.

The highest level of the legendary illusion array completely bewitches you, erasing all your memories and giving you a new life in the environment. You will experience birth, aging, sickness and death in the illusion. If you do not meet the standard of the illusion array, you will really die in the illusion.

Dongfang Mian, with a meticulous attitude, intended to study the matter thoroughly before entering, but Yan Lin entered without even thinking about it.

However, judging from the fact that the four prodigies were able to escape unscathed, this illusion should be similar to the one during the Divine Beast Mountain assessment, which tests the mind and is not very aggressive.

However, given Yan Lin's current state of mind... Dongfang Mian suddenly felt that it would be better to use an offensive illusion array.

Just as Dongfang Mian was feeling worried, Yan Lin took action.

His previously expressionless face suddenly furrowed, and then he opened his mouth and said something rapidly. Because he was outside the formation, Dongfang Mian couldn't hear the sound and could only watch Yan Lin's mouth move quickly.

Dongfang Mian carefully examined Yan Lin's mouth shape, and then... it sounded like this guy was cursing.

Soon, Yan Lin returned to his expressionless state, then his body swayed slightly, and the entire illusion array shattered. Yan Lin walked towards Dongfang Mian, holding a badge in his hand and still cursing.

"Here, take this," Yan Lin said, handing the badge to Dongfang Mian as if presenting a treasure.

Dongfang Mian reached out and took it, then curiously inquired about what Yan Lin had seen in the illusion.

“A woman,” Yan Lin said simply and clearly.

A woman?

"Who?" Dongfang Mian asked curiously. Illusion arrays usually appear to confuse people or things you are familiar with.

"How would I know?" Yan Lin said angrily. "She's ugly and seems to have some kind of serious illness. She opens her mouth and tries to teach me how to be a person and says she wants to know about my cultivation. Do you think she's sick? I, the Lord of a realm, would use her to teach me how to do things?"

"That's it?" Dongfang Mian found it amusing. "Then how did you break free of the illusion?"

"It wasn't over yet. Later, when she saw that I ignored her, that ugly old woman actually started taking off her clothes in front of me. Do you think she has no shame? How could I tolerate her behavior? So I gave her a good scolding and taught her a lesson in how to be a decent human being. Then she vomited blood, and then the illusion disappeared and I came out."
