Chapter 641: Chapter 321 You All Have Issues_2
Lin Yi chuckled to himself, now things were truly interesting, but he had already thought of a solution.
He waved his hand and said, “Alright, stop arguing, first tell me about yourselves, and take out the items from your storage rings one by one, I’ll be the judge. Whoever doesn’t take them out, I’ll consider them a liar.”
The Bull Demon was just about to take something out when the thin-faced human cultivator said coldly, “Why should we listen to you, and how can you prove that you’re a good person?”
“Exactly, why should we listen to you? Take things out just because you say so? You might be in cahoots with that human, putting on an act here to trick me out of my belongings,” the Bull Demon also realized and hastily echoed.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile inwardly, these two guys weren’t so stupid after all. He was also unable to judge whether this was an Illusion Land or a space created within Tai Xuan Tower, including these two humans and one demon, which might also be real.
He nodded and took the child’s hand, “Oh, that works too. You all continue fighting, and whoever wins isn’t lying. Child, let’s go, we’ll leave them to it. Sister will bring you home, your safety is of utmost importance.”
The one human and one Bull Demon nearby were suddenly dumbfounded, how come this guy didn’t play by the rules?
“Sister, aren’t you going to help me get revenge?” the child asked with a pair of pure wide eyes, speaking innocently.
“Hold on, I think you’re the one who’s trying to kidnap the child. Put the child down,” said the thin-faced human cultivator, his eyes dark and cold.
The Bull Demon also blocked Lin Yi’s path, “Right, we can’t leave the child to you, I’m the one who saved him.”
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel moved; Tai Xuan Tower’s cultivation world was indeed filled with nobility.
He bent down and addressed the child, “Kid, didn’t you say they were all bad people? You asked sister to save you just now, and now if I take you home and then come back to avenge you, would that be alright?”
“No good, Sister, you have to avenge me first, or else you’re a bad person too,” the child replied with an innocent look in his eyes, looking at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi couldn’t resist patting his face with his hand, “You’re such a cheeky one, alright, Sister will avenge you.”
This kind of bratty kid, if not for the test, he would have thrown him out long ago.
Afterward, he placed his hand on the child’s shoulder and smiled, “If none of you have lied, then the only liar here would be this child. He’s probably a cultivator intentionally transformed into a child to incite us to kill each other. What do you think?”
“I think it’s possible. This child shows no fear at all, says we are all bad people, and leads us to kill each other. Why don’t we just kill him first?” The thin-faced human cultivator nodded emphatically, his face showing a murderous intent as he looked towards the child.
The Bull Demon also nodded in agreement, “Indeed, I also feel there is something off about this child. How about you kill him, and we all leave?”
“Sister, don’t kill me, I’m scared,” the child said as he clung tightly to Lin Yi’s leg, trembling.
Upon hearing this, Lin YI had pretty much figured it out; all these guys had problems. Then, he used the Eye of Emptiness to take a closer look.
Indeed, just as he had suspected, these two humans and one demon all had issues. The child in particular, had nearly exhausted a great deal of his Divine Sense before revealing that he was not a cultivator in disguise but a Fox Demon at the Transformation Realm, with his entire aura concealed by the Tai Xuan Tower.
He had to admit, Tai Xuan Tower’s tests were really something. For ordinary cultivators, with their memories blocked, it wouldn’t be easy to discern the truth, which explained why so few had passed through the two layers of Cultivators in Huashen.
Reaching the Refining Void Realm seemed to allow one’s Primordial Spirit to split into avatars, capable of independent cultivation and thus providing a greater resistance against the Illusion Land.
If he hadn’t been practicing the Creation Method, maybe under memory blockage, he too would have made a mistake in judgment, leading to failure in the test.
Lin Yi spoke slowly, “Do you have no judgment of your own? Earlier you stopped me from saving the child, and now you feel what I’m saying makes sense and want to kill the child. You are the ones who truly have a problem.”
Then, without hesitation, he drew on his cultivation level of the Middle stage of Huashen and started attacking the human and the Bull Demon. Through the observation of the Eye of Emptiness, he saw that both of these individuals were exuding black auras.
The person and the bull, seeing this, fled outright, vanishing in an instant.
“Sister is so amazing, sister is so amazing, hurry and chase after them for my revenge,” the child said, exhilarated upon seeing this.
“I certainly haven’t forgotten you, and it’s true that something was off about you,” Lin Yi said with a smile, swinging his sword towards the child.
“Sister, I’m scared… don’t kill me.”
The child was actually killed by his one strike.
At this point, the scene changed once again, and he suddenly found himself leaving the Tai Xuan Tower, his Primordial Spirit’s aura concealment disappeared, and his memory restored.
A voice reached his ears, “Test failure.”
Lin Yi’s expression changed slightly. Could it be that he had made a wrong judgment?
Suddenly, a woman came running from outside the tower, threw herself on Lin Yi, and began to cry, “Why did you kill my child? My child entered the Tai Xuan Tower only to help with the test, why did you kill him? You murderous demon, how are you any different from the Demon race…”
Lin Yi used the Eye of Emptiness to examine the woman, discovering her aura was white, and felt as if struck hard. Could it be that he really made the wrong judgment? That the child was merely modified by the Tai Xuan Tower, deliberately hiding the Fox Demon’s aura within, and was actually a human.
He let the woman pull on his clothes, allowed the surrounding people to curse at him, and scenes of the test flashed through his mind. Finally, a smile appeared on his face, choosing to believe in the Eye of Emptiness also meant upholding his Dao Heart.
“If I truly failed the test, then let me out. I stand by my judgment,” Lin Yi said indifferently.
At this moment, the scene outside the Tai Xuan Tower gradually disappeared, and he returned to the jungle from before, as a cloud ladder emerged once again.
Lin Yi gazed at the cloud ladder with a calm expression. The Tai Xuan Tower really knew how to play with one’s heart. Even with the Eye of Emptiness, he had almost been fooled.
He felt his Nascent Soul had undergone some inexplicable change, becoming even more perfect.
Looking at the third level’s cloud ladder, Lin Yi thought for a moment and did not immediately climb up, but instead sat in the jungle to meditate and recover his lost Divine Sense.
Later, he decided to take a look at the third level, after all, this was the only chance to gain higher access in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace.
If he missed this time, even if he came to challenge again, he would not be able to gain access.
Moreover, if he failed the challenge, there would be no penalties, and his scores for passing the challenge would still be recorded.
Lin Yi stepped onto the third level; Dong Fang’s (Invincible East’s) character was to be invincible under the heavens, unmatched by anyone. Despite facing numerous difficulties, he would press on unwaveringly.
Having passed the second level but not challenging the third would be somewhat cowardly.
After stepping onto the cloud ladder, Lin Yi looked down at the jungle below and suddenly saw the sharp-nosed, monkey-cheeked middle-aged cultivator, the simple and honest Bull Demon, and the child who the Fox Demon had transformed into waving at him.
He couldn’t help feeling emotional, thinking that this second level was quite different. The NPCs were recycled, not like the first level’s demons, which disappeared once killed. The bear demon corpse in the Storage Ring and the situation of earning Virtue Points through soul liberation sufficiently proved he had indeed killed two demons.
It’s just that on this second level, after killing the child who was a transformed Fox Demon, he didn’t even have a chance to conduct soul liberation before he was transported to another Illusion Land. It seemed that the Tai Xuan Tower worried he might discover some clues after conducting the soul liberation.
When he stepped onto the final cloud ladder, the scene before his eyes changed once more, and Lin Yi couldn’t help but anticipate what challenge the third level would bring.
According to the information provided by Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion, the challenges of the third level were diverse, essentially testing abilities beyond one’s Cultivation levels.
