Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

This is not a simple visual deception, but a direct interference with his five senses!

"Is true temptation... to directly create the scene that the test subject desires and make their senses believe it without question?"

Qingwu understood.

This is not a test of strength, but of character.

The desire for power, pleasure, and comfort is a weakness of human nature.

If one becomes addicted to it, even knowing it is an illusion, one may be swayed by the allure of that momentary "reality".

but……

In his eyes, the graceful woman in front of him was no different from a "puppet".

The great elf and the silver pegasus knight in his hands both possessed the perfect appearance and figure of "elves," but after being in contact with them all day, their enchantment had long since faded.

Moreover, having lived two lives, if one truly treats him as a 15-year-old boy, then this is destined to be very simple for him.

Qingwu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear again.

He ignored the delicious food, beautiful women, and "cultivation holy land" before him, his gaze piercing through these illusions as if looking at some place in the void.

"What is false will always be false. What I pursue is the power of truth and reality, the ability to control my own destiny, not to indulge in the illusion of a gentle paradise!"

After saying that, he walked straight toward the edge of the illusion.

boo~

It felt like passing through a giant bubble.

The scene before my eyes shattered into pieces, like a mirage.

He returned to the cold and damp entrance of Longdi Cave.

Princess Ichikishima stood before him, her smile fading slightly, replaced by a hint of surprise in her eyes…

Chapter 230 The White Snake Immortal

"You saw through it and broke free so quickly? You have a strong will."

Princess Ichikishima nodded. "You've passed. But, kid, sometimes being too clear-headed can make you miss out on a lot of fun~"

She chuckled softly, and her figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

"Next up is me~"

Princess Tsuratsu skipped forward, still appearing innocent and carefree, but her narrowed eyes held no hint of a smile.

"My test is called 'The Desire to Eat'! It's simple, just defeat it!"

She clapped her chubby little hands, and a heavy rubbing sound and a hissing sound came from the darkness of the cave entrance.

Immediately afterwards, a giant python, larger than ten thousand snakes and covered with hard, crimson scales, slowly swam out.

It opened its enormous mouth, revealing its gleaming white fangs, and its thick, foul-smelling saliva dripped onto the ground, corroding small pits.

The giant python's aura was violent and greedy, and its single vertical pupil was fixed on Qingwu, as if it were looking at a delicious feast.

"This is... the most unpopular giant serpent in Ryuchi Cave—Shinya!"

Princess Tsurugi said with a smile, "Its greatest hobby is devouring creatures containing powerful energy, defeating it, or... becoming its snack! Let's begin!"

It's Xin Ya!

Qingwu knew this giant serpent; even ten thousand snakes wouldn't be worthy to fawn over it—this was a giant serpent possessing Sage Chakra.

As soon as Tuanjinhime finished speaking, she disappeared as if trying to escape, leaving Qingwu exposed to the giant serpent Xinya.

Xin Ya's massive body suddenly shot out of the cave at an astonishing speed.

Its tail, covered in hard scales, swept towards Qingwu with the power to split mountains and shatter rocks!

At the same time, it opened its mouth and spewed out a jet of black poisonous mist, which instantly spread out, and the air seemed to be corroded and hissed.

A test of strength!

Qingwu dared not be negligent and retreated quickly, clapping his hands together at the same time: "Wood Release: Wood Wall!"

Several thick wooden walls rose from the ground, blocking the way.

boom!

The giant tail swept against the wooden wall, sending wood chips flying. The outermost two layers of the wooden wall shattered instantly, but the third layer barely managed to block the attack.

However, the poisonous fog had already spread, and the wooden walls quickly turned black and rotten under its corrosive influence.

"Fire Wall!"

Qingwu clapped his hands, and a wall of fire rose, temporarily isolating the poisonous fog.

He knew that Xinya had extremely strong defense and power, and in the "home" environment of Ryuchi Cave, its recovery and endurance were probably far superior to those of other spirit beasts.

However, he is not afraid of the poisonous fog; at worst, he can simply use [Purify] to resolve the situation after being poisoned.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"

Woof woof!

Two unicorns appeared in the arena and quickly swelled up!

It's just a fight with Xin Ya; there's no need for Mumu to appear.

The unicorns, their bodies swollen, shimmered with an anti-magic aura on their horns, rendering the poisonous fog of little effect on them.

Boom-!

The two unicorns split into two directions, taking heavy steps as they approached Xinya.

Sinya roared, rolling, biting, and spitting venom.

The unicorn neighed, butted with its horn, kicked with its hooves, and unleashed its blinding power.

Qingwu continued casting: "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

A solid, dark brown wooden dragon, formed from intertwined woody roots, took shape, emitting a silent dragon roar, shaking its head and wagging its tail, fiercely coiling around Xin Ya.

Sensing the threat, Xin Ya suddenly gathered his strength and sprayed a grayish-white poisonous mist containing Sage Chakra at the unicorn that was close by.

The two unicorns were found frozen in place.

Qingwu observed for a moment and, finding no immediate danger to his life, paid no further attention.

Control of both ends?

that……

Ang~ Ang~ Ang~ Ang~

Four more unicorns appeared and charged towards Sinya.

At the same time, the Wood Dragon, with its tenacity, entangled itself with the Sinya and successfully kept the Sinya in place.

"it's over!"

Qingwu said softly, "Earth magic - Meteor Shower!"

Boom boom boom—!!

The unicorn's relentless charge triggered "blindness," and a hint of fear finally crept into the roar of the one-eyed snarl.

An alternate dimension opened above it, and a meteorite descended.

Caught between two attacks, Xin Ya let out a painful howl, his massive body convulsing violently, his struggle rapidly weakening.

Finally, under the strangulation of the wooden dragon and the fierce pounding of the meteor shower, it reluctantly collapsed, its momentum rapidly declining.

"Immortal Technique: Earth Mound Dumplings!"

With a crisp, delicate shout, Tuanjin-hime clapped her hands, her innocent smile unchanged, but the powerful Earth Escape technique blocked the meteor shower above Xin Ya's head.

"Spare its life."

At this moment, Princess Tsurugi's form changed rapidly as if she had released a celestial technique.

She grew from a chubby little girl to the size of a grown woman, floating in the air with her sleeves fluttering, finally resembling a fairy.

Qingwu was slightly out of breath; the battle hadn't taken much to his liking.

Tuanjin-hime stared at Qingwu's hands. "You were using magic just now too? That application of natural energy... no, it's different."

She frowned, deep in thought, looking conflicted. "Impossible! If they possess magical powers, how could they possibly be in Dragon Cave? Then what is it?"

Qingwu waved his hand, recalling the six unicorns.

Tuanjin-hime gave him a deep look, then waved her hand behind her, and Xin Ya's dying body turned into dust with a "bang" and disappeared.

"To be able to defeat Xin Ya so quickly, it seems you not only have a firm will, but your strength also matches your ambition. You... passed!"

After saying that, she disappeared into thin air without saying another word.

"The final test comes from me, and it's called 'A Wise Choice'!"

The eldest sister, Takoto Shinki, appeared seamlessly, as if nothing had happened.

With a gentle wave of her hand, three paths appeared in the center of the platform, each shrouded in a hazy mist, its end invisible.

At this moment, Princess Tianxin was no longer the carefree little girl, but possessed a composure and majesty that did not match her appearance:

"These three paths lead to different outcomes."

“Take this path on the left. You can leave Ryuchi Cave immediately and return safely to your world, as if you had never been here and there will never be another chance.”

“If you take this middle path, you can directly obtain some of the basic cultivation methods of Ryuchi Cave, but you will have to pay a corresponding price—for example, a part of your soul.”

“Take this path to the right, and you will enter the palace, face the White Serpent Immortal, and undergo the true, complete, but also the most dangerous, trial of immortal arts inheritance—failure will mean death.”

Qingwu's heart skipped a beat. So... passing the first two trials already provided opportunities to gain benefits? Orochimaru... didn't dare to take the third path?

After all... when that guy came, he was probably not very old and his strength was limited.

Princess Tianxin looked at Qingwu, her purple vertical pupils seemingly able to see through people's hearts:

"There is no time limit, you can take your time to think it over, but remember, once you make a choice, there is no going back."

"Your choices determine your future path, and also determine whether you... truly deserve the title of 'immortal'."
