Chapter 725 The Third Test
"I just looked around and saw that he was not the only half-immortal who came. There were also a few strangers in the Tribulation Crossing Stage who disguised themselves as mortals and sneaked into the test. They must be in the same group."
"There are still several people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage?" Lu Yang was surprised. How dare they dare to come to the Dao Sect with this level? Are they tired of living? The eldest sister thought that Lu Yang was worried about the safety of the sect, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, our sect also has people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, which is enough to deal with it. With me in the sect, life is too stable, and it is easy to get tired. It's a good opportunity for them to move around."
"You can go back and continue organizing the test. Nothing will go wrong with me here."
"yes."
Following the order from his senior sister, Lu Yang returned to the bamboo forest and continued organizing the test.
"Senior He Ling, long time no see." Lu Yang greeted politely. They hadn't seen each other for four months.
He Ling snorted coldly and didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Yang.
He remembered clearly what Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou did in the entrance test three years ago.
Seeing that He Ling didn't like him, Lu Yang moved closer to Meng Jingzhou and asked in a low voice, "How did the second test go?"
Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes. You came only after Gu Junye's test was over. Can you come any later? Meng Jingzhou decided to send out invitations after his wedding. He would send invitations to everyone but Lu Yang. He would wait until the bridal chamber was over and then send an invitation to Lu Yang the next day! He must take revenge!
"Gu Junye, the two ancestors, and the boy with the immortal body teamed up and passed the second level of the test."
Lu Yang nodded, this was expected.
"Other people are not making such fast progress. I don't think it will take half a day or a day to finish this."
For most people, inner demons are extremely difficult to overcome. The inner demons that Gu Junye and the other three encountered only needed to be fought and killed. Regardless of whether they could overcome them or not, they would see the results quickly.
Others don't have the kind of demons that can be solved by force.
For example, the inner demon of Zhou Xing'er that Lu Yang is currently looking at.
Zhou Xing'er's mother favors boys over girls and advocates that the husband should be the head of the family. Originally, Zhou Xing'er's mother hoped to give birth to two boys, but she did not expect that the second child would be a girl. Therefore, she often insulted Zhou Xing'er, saying that she was a money-loser. Over time, Zhou Xing'er's character became timid and she dared not resist.
Although Zhou Xing'er later earned a lot of money for her family with the help of the storage ring, her status in the family did not improve.
When Zhou's mother learned that Zhou Xing'er was qualified to join the Wendao Sect, she was even more sarcastic and thought that Zhou Xing'er was dreaming.
Zhou Xing'er's relatives were mostly sarcastic towards her. After learning that Zhou Xing'er had a storage ring, they asked for the ring on the grounds that Zhou Xing'er was young and unable to keep valuables.
Zhou Xing'er naturally refused to give it, and then her relatives' attitude towards her became even worse.
It's not that Zhou Xing'er hasn't resisted. She has proposed to sever ties with her family many times, but every time her mother said that they are blood relatives and that the mother has raised her, so blood ties cannot be severed just like that.
In desperation, Zhou Xing'er rose up in resistance and went to the imperial city alone to assassinate Emperor Xia.
The assassination attempt failed and all nine generations of the clan were executed.
The inner demon is eliminated.
Zhou Xing'er came to her senses and stretched herself: "I told you not to break off relations with me, but now you are all dead."
She could certainly choose to practice in peace in the Dao Sect, but she always felt that she would not feel at ease and would not be comfortable in her practice until her family members died. Now that she had died once in the illusion, she finally felt that she had achieved enlightenment.
Lu Yang: “…”
He pretended not to see Zhou Xing'er and turned to look at Zhuang Ping next to him, feeling somewhat gloating.
"Zhuang Ping's mother was sent to prison by Senior Brother Ji. What is his inner demon?"
"Revenge Brother Ji? Revenge on the people of Tinghai Sect?"
In a fantasy.
prison.
"Mother, I will definitely rescue you!" Zhuang Ping roared, veins bulging on his neck. He looked at his mother in the cage, his emotions out of control.
"No, don't save me. I deserve this!" Zhuang's mother burst into tears.
"Mother, I must learn all the skills to save you! Even if I have to chop it in half with an axe, I will save you!" Zhuang Ping held the axe in his hand. This was the legendary axe of creation, which could create the world and was more than enough to chop a cage in half.
"Son, don't do this. You can't compete with the court!" Zhuang's mother shook her head and advised her son to turn back from his wrong path and not to confront the court, as this would not end well.
Zhuang Ping's lips trembled, and the axe fell to the ground with a clang. He fell to his knees helplessly, crying bitterly: "Mother, I will listen to you."
…
“In summary, my mother’s prevention of my prison breakout is a meritorious performance of preventing others from committing serious crimes, and her sentence should be reduced,” Zhuang Ping said calmly to the Ministry of Justice official.
Zhuang's mother's sentence was reduced, and Zhuang Ping's inner demons were overcome.
Lu Yang: “…”
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
After most of the day, only less than fifty people out of eight hundred had overcome their inner demons, which was enough to show how difficult it was to overcome one's inner demons.
Those who have not yet overcome their inner demons have been trapped in their inner demons, and cannot escape without external interference.
Seeing that time is almost up, Senior Brother Dai asks He Ling to help disperse the thick fog and water balls and resolve everyone's inner demons.
Those who failed to pass the second level were in low spirits. They were destined to have no chance to join the Wendao Sect and were asked to leave the sect by the disciples.
Senior Brother Dai applauded, smiled and said loudly to the remaining fifty people: "Congratulations on successfully overcoming your inner demons. Now we will proceed to the last level, which is the third level."
Senior Brother Dai paused for a moment and continued, "Immortal cultivators are not heartless and ungrateful. Among emotions and righteousness, filial piety is of utmost importance."
"The third level tests filial piety, which is your attitude towards your parents and brothers and sisters."
"Unlike the second level where you can team up, the third level is a test for you all. In the third level, you will forget your original identities and act according to your true nature."
"Let's start the third level now."
Senior Brother Dai bowed to the river spirit beside him and said, "Senior, please."
The river spirit moved his mind, and water mist rose again. The water mist contained an illusion formation. Anyone covered by the water mist would fall into an illusion.
Gu Xie showed a hint of smile. This was a test of filial piety. It seemed that this level was not difficult. Others would forget their original identities, but he would not. As long as he took good care of his parents and was respectful to his brothers, passing the level would be easy.
He entered the illusion and found himself on the top of a barn. There was a hole in the roof of the barn and he was repairing it with tools.
"Where is this place?"
Suddenly, thick smoke rose from the barn, choking him and making him cough.
Soon he heard someone yell, "Fire!"
His identity in this level emerged in his mind.
He has three relatives: his father, stepmother, and his younger brother born to his father and stepmother.
His father and stepmother were worried that he would compete with his brother for the family property, and they tried to harm him many times. This time, arson was their doing!
