Fragrant fruit of the Pear of Heaven had a natural ability to control illusions and could confuse the mind of others.
The time they were confused was related to their respective's mental fortitude and so on.
The more determined a person was, the closer they would be to the Pear Fragrance Fruit, and the less time they would have to be bewitched.
The reason why the time allotted for the examination was half a day was because these examinees were young and weak, so once they lost their minds for more than half a day, they would cause irreversible damage.
Flying Star Sect was a method to recruit disciples; they would not do such a thing as destroying one's foundation.
As for those few people who had woken up in just a short quarter of an hour, they were all people with firm hearts, and had already attracted the attention of the Flying Star Sect. If their results were outstanding in the following third stage of the examination, it was very likely that some great expert within the Flying Star Sect would take them in as their disciple.
Yun Luoyou followed the footsteps of a large majority of people and stood ten meters away. In order to not attract too much attention, she had to wait for most of the people participating in the examination to thoroughly check before she would "awaken".
At this time, she had activated her Spiritual Sense and instantly saw the situation of these examinees.
With the passage of time, many emotions appeared on the faces of these people. Some were anger, some were ecstasy, some were pain, and some were sorrow …
Yun Luoyou knew that they were affected by the Sky Spirit Fruit and were lost in their own world. Whether or not they could struggle free would depend on their own determination.
She even paid more attention to the situation of Lv Dong and the others, and noticed that they were all extremely excited, and retracted her gaze.
Before the assessment, she had already reminded them of the things they should pay attention to during this stage. As for whether they would be able to pass or not, it all depended on their own perseverance.
Cultivation was everyone's own business. Other people could guide them, but they could not take their place.
In this assessment, Yun Luoyou would not help him again.
Just like when Yun Luoyou's Spiritual Sense fell on everyone present, within the Flying Star Sect, there were quite a few experts paying attention to this assessment.
The purpose of the first trial's assessment was to eliminate many examinees with low aptitude. But from the second trial onwards, Flying Star Sect would begin to pay attention to these examinees, hoping to find some disciples with potential from within.
There were, after all, very few heaven's pride level experts who had awakened within fifteen minutes. In the Flying Star Sect Assessment, there was a standard that could allow disciples to awaken within two hours, which could be given a lot of attention.
If one was addicted for more than two hours, their aptitude would be average, and after four hours, they would barely pass. Unless they performed astonishingly in the third trial, otherwise, they would at most be a outer sect disciple.
As two hours passed, more and more people came to their senses.
When they finally regained their senses, they saw that the surrounding examinees were still in a daze, and only then did they realize that this was the true second stage, and they were considered to have passed, and they could not help but be overjoyed. They quickly went up to pick the Aroma Pear and left the valley.
In just two hours, only a few hundred of the examinees regained their consciousness and were sent out of the valley. The remaining examinees were still struggling in their hearts.
And after two hours, the attention that the Flying Star Sect had towards the valley had decreased greatly. Almost no one wasted their attention on the valley, and they followed the disciples who had passed the examination to leave, paying particular attention to them.
Yun Luoyou saw that the struggle in the eyes of Lv Dong and the others was growing stronger and stronger, as though they were in the state of mind created by the Pear Fragrant Sky Fruit, where they were in the most intense situation, where they had to make the most decisions.
At this moment, the examination time neared four hours.
Many people in the valley opened their eyes, and among Lv Dong and the others, the first one to sober up was actually the Qi Hongfu who had never come in contact with cultivation, yet had sold a large portion of his fortune to participate in the Flying Star Sect Assessment.
It seems that Qi Hongfu was very persistent about cultivation.
After he came to his senses, he looked around in a daze, and then, with a look of shock, he reacted. He quickly looked around the crowd, seemingly wanting to find the whereabouts of Lv Dong and the others, but did not see them.
Qi Hongfu didn't know whether Lv Dong and the others had already passed the examination or if they were in an area that he couldn't see. He could only pick a Fragrant Sky fruit and first pass his assessment, then be teleported out.
When Qi Hongfu was teleported out of the Heavenly Spirit Pear Fragrant Fruit, Lv Dong just happened to open his eyes.
If one looked closely, one could see that there was still some grief, indignation, despair, and strong hatred and killing intent in his eyes.
Just now, in that illusion, he had experienced the most humiliating and desperate moment of his life. He even had the will to die, but at the last moment, he had struggled to come out.
The Big Sister Fairy was right, he had to remember his choice.
At that time, he didn't know what those words meant, but now that Lv Dong had understood, it was clear that they were a reminder for these tests. Big Sister Fairy knew from the very beginning what the second round of Flying Star Sect examination was about.
Lv Dong took a deep breath, walked to the Pear Blossom Sky Fruit Tree and picked a fruit, and was then teleported out.
In the second hour, there were more than two thousand people who were awake, and Liao Hai was awake in the second hour as well.
Yun Luoyou waited for four hours before he finally "awakened". This kind of result was barely passable by the examinees, and basically, no one would pay attention to him.
By the time she teleported out, there were already more than four thousand people who had passed the assessment. The people who were teleported out at this time were no longer in the limelight.
However, Lv Dong and the others would always look over when the white light flashed. When they saw her appear, they immediately called out to her.
Yun Luoyou walked over with them and continued to wait for the assessment in the valley to end.
Half a day passed. Only half of the people who passed the examination and teleported out of the valley when they were sober themselves were not able to wake up from the illusion; they were awakened by a special method using their Flying Star Sect.
Amongst the few people together with Liao Hai, there were three who failed the examination, and only one young girl was teleported out at the last moment.
Those who had not passed the examination were all sent out of the Flying Star Sect mountain gate, and the six thousand odd people who had passed the examination along with the few number zeros started the third trial, which was the final stage of the entrance examination.
Regardless of which world one was in, the number of people with the highest aptitude was very small. At this moment, the total number of people was still 6000 or so, but it did not exceed 7000.
These people were brought by the disciples in charge of the Flying Star Sect to a tall cliff that pierced through the clouds. They began the final test — — The Immortal Path!
