This cultivation world was never serious from the start.

"Wait! It's one of our own..." The villainous cultivator instantly transformed into a weeping female cultivator.

However, Chen Feng's face showed only determination as he unleashed a sword strike with all his might, a strike that represented the Fusion Realm!

"You mere heretic cultivator! You dare to try and disturb my resolve!"

boom!

Sword light flashed, the illusion shattered and dissipated, and Chen Feng lay on the ground unconscious.

The mountain spirit took two steps back, formed a hand seal, and the phantom of Tianwen Peak appeared behind him. It fiercely suppressed the shattered illusion, finally managing to suppress the fluctuations of the Integration Realm.

Even so, it alarmed many powerful figures of the Tianwen Sect, especially half of the eight elders below the sect leader!

"Who dares to trespass on my Tianwen Sect!" A loud shout rang out, golden sword energy ripped through the sky, and a handsome middle-aged man instantly appeared beside the mountain spirit.

"Little Sanzi, no one else dared to challenge the Heavenly Inquiry Sect. It was a commotion caused by the assessment of innate sword bone and Dao heart." Shanling pouted and said somewhat dejectedly.

The other elders who had arrived also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Shanling's words.

"This year's disciples are quite extraordinary. Let us take a closer look." A group of elders stopped walking and gathered around the mountain spirit to watch the spectacle.

"Senior Shanling, does this mean he has passed the test?" Chang Yin asked.

Shanling nodded expressionlessly and looked at the contents of the other illusions with Chang Yin and the others.

Su Zhe walked through the mountains and fields, feeling the beauty of nature.

"This fresh air, this bright sunshine, and this melodious sobbing... Hmm?"

Su Zhe followed the sound to the back of the tree and saw a girl with tattered clothes, revealing large areas of delicate skin.

The girl raised her head, looked at Su Zhe with a pitiful expression, her eyes reddened, and tears fell involuntarily.

"Young hero, a villain has infiltrated the Tianwen Sect with malicious intent. You are not yet a cultivator and are no match for him. Run!"

The girl spoke, her voice slightly hoarse, making one's heart ache.

"Oh, thanks for reminding me." Su Zhe nodded and turned to go down the mountain.

girl: ? ? ?

Mountain Spirit: ? ? ?

"Young hero, are you really going to stand by and watch someone die?" the girl suddenly asked.

Su Zhe turned his head and glanced at the girl.

This guy told me to run away but then said he wouldn't help me. What is he trying to do?

"Young hero, that villain is most lustful. If you leave, what will I do..." The girl wept, her voice filled with despair.

Su Zhe thought about it again and realized that was indeed the case.

So he ran over to the girl and began to take off his clothes.

girl: ? ? ?

  

"What are you standing there for? Take your clothes off," Su Zhe urged the girl.

Although the girl was puzzled, she still carried out the illusion's orders. As long as the bottom line was not crossed, the illusion would not dissipate.

Soon, the girl was left with only her tattered inner lining, revealing more of her snow-white skin.

Su Zhe draped the Arc'teryx jacket over the girl and waved to her.

"Young hero, what's going on?" The girl was taken aback.

"What are you standing there for? Run!" Su Zhe urged the girl.

The girl was puzzled, but she still obediently followed his instructions and left, looking back every few steps.

After confirming that the girl had left, Su Zhe, with a reckless expression, quietly lay down behind a tree.

Soon, the wicked cultivators arrived.

"My little beauty, I can smell you! You're here, aren't you!"

As he spoke, the villainous monk leaped behind a tree, preparing to rub his hands together and charge at the girl.

The scene before him caused his vision to go black.

It wasn't just the villainous cultivators in the illusion who were suddenly plunged into darkness; everyone outside the illusion also experienced this.

"It's over! My illusion is tainted! Don't stop me! I'm going in to kill him!"

The mountain spirit was so angry that the flower wreath on its head withered, and it danced wildly, wanting to rush into the illusion.

Chang Yin, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped Shan Ling, "Senior Shan Ling! No! This disciple didn't break the rules..."

The elders beside them remained silent, each looking at the illusion with a complex expression.

In the illusion, Su Zhe lay lazily behind a tree, draped in a tattered girl's dress, revealing his six-pack abs and muscular physique. He beckoned to the villainous cultivator with a finger, "Come on! You beast!"

The villainous cultivator remained silent for a long time, seemingly due to a glitch in the internal processing of the illusion.

Outside the illusion, everyone remained silent for a long time.

Shanling covered her eyes tightly, but since she was the one who created the illusion, even if she gouged out her eyes, she could still clearly feel what was happening in the illusion.

"Are you coming or not? If not, I'm leaving." Su Zhe waved at the villainous cultivator.

Seeing that the villainous cultivators didn't react, Su Zhe leaped up and continued charging towards the mountaintop.

Before he could run more than a few steps, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck, knocking Su Zhe unconscious.

"This child... his way of handling things is indeed different from others," an elder said with a forced smile.

"Waaaaah..." Shanling was still covering her face in sadness.

Having remained pure for thousands of years, she felt unclean after being forced to look at the muscles of a human man.

"Ahem, Senior Mountain Spirit, don't be sad. Shall we look at the others?" The Sixth Elder, who was also a woman, comforted her.

The mountain spirit calmed down a little and looked at the other illusions.

The Grand Elder, who was overseeing the Enforcement Hall, suddenly exclaimed softly, "Hey, isn't this Zhang Quandan's cousin? What's he doing here for the assessment?"

Everyone looked over and saw that the figure in the illusion was none other than Zhang Haizhu.

Unlike other illusions where one either fights to the death with the villainous cultivator or flees with the girl, Zhang Haizhu lay down on the ground, grabbed the villainous cultivator's leg, and made him pay compensation.

"No! You bumped into me! You have to pay me! Even if you're a disciple of the Heavenly Questioning Sect, it's not acceptable!"

Zhang Haizhu clung tightly to the villainous cultivator's leg, refusing to let go even as he was being beaten.

"Hehe, I can usually make two hundred spirit stones from faking an accident, but now that I've faked an accident with someone from the Heavenly Inquiry Sect, I'll probably have to ask him for three to five thousand spirit stones, right?"

Zhang Haizhu coughed up blood, his thoughts captured by the illusion and transmitted to everyone's ears.

The crowd's expressions were complex. Shanling closed her eyes in despair again, "How did I apply to leave the Tianwen Sect again?"

The elders exchanged glances and then looked at the Sixth Elder in tacit agreement.

The Sixth Elder sighed and stepped forward to hug Shan Ling like a mother embracing her child. "Senior, don't say that. What if these three guys really join the Heavenly Inquiry Sect? If you leave like this, who will be able to openly teach them a lesson?"

"That makes sense!" Shanling thought it made a lot of sense and decided not to leave Tianwen Sect for the time being.

Soon, the Dao Heart Assessment ended.

Only three people were eliminated in this round.

Su Zhe, Chen Feng, and Zhang Haizhu advanced as expected.

Although the methods used to pass the test made Shanling consider betraying and leaving the sect, they did not break the rules.

"Next is the final test: talent!" Chang Yin looked at the crowd below and said, "The assessment standard is to create a new martial art technique or formation within a certain time limit!"
