He didn't mind if Mu Hanyan lost her mind, even if she died in the Soul Palace. But the key was that if she didn't hide the batch of five-colored soul beads on her body, if she became mentally confused or died, where would they find her?
"Is it very powerful? Why don't I think so?" Mu Hanyan's calm voice came from the Soul Palace.
"Huh!" Guan Xiu Jin exclaimed in surprise.
Thinking back to the time when he entered the Palace of Spirits, countless illusions came flooding in, and he felt the same pain as everyone else. In a mixture of sadness and joy, he cried and laughed, and his mind almost collapsed. If it weren't for an ancestral calming jade that kept him focused on the last bit of his mind, he would never have been able to hold on to the end.
Mu Hanyan had been in the Soul Palace for several hours, so how could she still be so calm? Could her resolve be stronger than his own? How could that be possible? He had already been a hundred years old when he first entered the Soul Palace, having witnessed countless deaths, sorrows, joys, and tribulations, his heart had long been tempered like a rock. Mu Hanyan was only in her early twenties, with far less life experience than he, so how could her resolve be stronger than his?
How could he know that Mu Hanyan had lived two lives as a human being and had reincarnated eight times. When it came to life experience, she was much more experienced than him. What's more, this was a memory of reincarnation that she had already experienced once, so how could it possibly affect her mind?
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruchu and others didn't know this. Seeing Guan Xiujing looking surprised, they looked at him in confusion.
"The first level trial of the Soul Palace tests one's willpower. I was tortured to the point of losing my mind back then. How could Mu Hanyan be so calm?" Guan Xiu Jin could no longer hide the truth and told everyone.
"Could it be that she is pretending to be calm?" Jiang Ruchu speculated.
Even though their current strength is not much different from Guan Xiu Jin's, but back then, Guan Xiu Jin was far superior to them in both cultivation and character. They would never believe that Mu Hanyan's character was stronger than Guan Xiu Jin's.
"That should be the case." Guan Xiu Jin nodded. Apart from this reason, he couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Mu Hanyan, don't hold on any longer. Don't forget that I have also been to the Palace of Divine Souls. Don't I know what this trial is all about? If you continue to hold on, and end up damaging your mind and spiritual intelligence, don't blame me for not warning you." Guan Xiujin said.
"Yes, it's not easy for you to have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. We don't want to see your bright future ruined. As long as you hand over those five-colored soul beads and pills, we will release you immediately and forgive the past." Jiang Ruchu also advised earnestly, and winked at Kong Renhe after speaking.
"That's right. This priest will not bother with you about the Qianlong Valley matter. We will also help you reconcile with Gao Weilong and promise not to be against you again." Although Kong Renhe hated Mu Hanyan to death, he also knew that the overall situation was more important, so he followed suit and advised.
Guan Xiujing and Jiang Ruchu both looked at Kong Renhe approvingly, and then looked calmly in the direction of the Soul Hall.
Mu Hanyan was just pretending to be calm and bluffing, and there was no way she could hold on for too long. Having said this, they had given Mu Hanyan enough face. If she didn't take advantage of the situation, it would be too ungrateful.
Unfortunately, this was just their wishful thinking, and the facts disappointed them again.
"Who told you that I was just holding on? The so-called trial in the Soul Palace is nothing more than this!" Mu Hanyan said disapprovingly.
If they want to make things difficult for her and settle a score with her, they must have the strength to do so. They even dare to use this as a condition to threaten her. They are really flattering themselves.
"Mu Hanyan, you dare to speak nonsense even when you are about to die. When I first came to the Soul Palace for the trial, if it weren't for..." Seeing that Mu Hanyan was really so ungrateful, Guan Xiujin finally got furious.
But before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped, and the rest of the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them anymore.
The golden glow suddenly disappeared, and the ancient temple returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.
"This...this, how is it possible!" Kong Renhe was so surprised that his tongue became tied.
"She, she actually passed the first level of the test." Jiang Ruchu was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth and stuttered.
The other priests also looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Even if they haven't eaten pork, they've seen pigs run. Even if they haven't seen pigs run, they've at least heard of pigs squealing. Although they haven't been to the Soul Palace, they've heard of it. They know that the disappearance of the golden light means Mu Hanyan has passed the first level of the Soul Palace trial.
"If it weren't for something, if you didn't have some treasure on you that could calm your mind, you wouldn't be able to pass this trial, right?" Mu Hanyan took over Guan Xiujing's words and said sarcastically.
Guan Xiujin opened his mouth, but was choked by her words. Mu Hanyan was right. If it weren't for the calming jade, he really wouldn't have been able to pass the first level of the test.
How on earth did this damn girl do it? Even with the help of the Calming Jade, it took him more than a month to pass the trial. But she only took a few hours to regain her mind from the illusion. How could her determination be so firm?
Guan Xiu Jin was surprised and puzzled, his mind was completely bewildered, and the others were also unable to recover for a long time.
"Chief Priest Guan, this Soul Palace should have more than one level of test. Do you want to open another level of restriction for me to try?" Mu Hanyan continued sarcastically.
Mu Hanyan easily regained her composure, realizing that this so-called trial was practically meaningless to her. She absolutely refused to believe that the Soul Palace would be so simple; there must be other restrictions and even more difficult trials. She suspected that the Soul Palace might be related to her, so she certainly wouldn't give up.
Unfortunately, although she could barely sense the existence of the second level of restriction, she was unable to activate it.
Of course, after passing the first level of the trial, it would not be difficult for her to leave the Soul Palace, but how could she bear to do so?
"Master Priest, be careful not to fall into her provocation." Jiang Ruchu and others were not stupid. They guessed what she was thinking and reminded Guan Xiujing.
In their opinion, since Mu Hanyan was able to pass the first level of the trial, she must have benefited a lot. They had gone to great lengths to let her get a great bargain, which was a loss. If they helped her open the second level of restrictions, and if she benefited from it again, they would probably have no place to cry.
Guan Xiu Jin also hesitated. Everything that was happening before his eyes was completely beyond his expectations.
