Capítulo 1328: Chapter 1205: Inspiration
After waking up from the Illusion Realm, Ye Fan looked around and found that many people were still trapped in various illusions.
So looked as if they had gone mad, crying and shouting, while others were all smiles, as if encountering a very happy and warm scene.
Ye Fan knew that these were illusions tailored for them by the Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear, perhaps reflecting their deepest desires, or their greatest fears.
No matter which, an illusion is, after all, an illusion, and it is very difficult to escape unless one can recognize their true heart and trace back to the origin to possibly break free.
If one is unable to escape the illusion on their own within a certain ti, they can only be eliminated, indicating that their willpower is insufficient to overco the Heart Demon of the illusion.
However, what puzzled Ye Fan was that Qing Zi, the Ancient Saint Heir, and the Tianxuan Saint Heir were all absent. He wondered if they had already escaped from the illusion or been teleported away.
Ye Fan felt it should be the forr, because with their Martial Arts Will, the illusion should not be able to trap them.
“Co up, you have passed the first test!”
Just as Ye Fan was feeling puzzled, the voice of the Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear suddenly ca to his ears.
Turning back, he saw the Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear standing on a stone platform, waving at him.
Ye Fan nodded, stepped onto the stone steps, and ascended the stone platform step by step, only to find Qing Zi and the others sitting cross-legged to the side, seemingly having so inspiration.
“Congratulations on passing the first test.”
The illusory image of the Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear seed much more solid at this mont, with those robust muscles bulging like coiled dragons.
“Only you know what your illusion was, I don’t know what you experienced in the illusion, but did you gain any insights? Whether sorrowful or beautiful, standing firm amidst death if it’s sorrow, breaking your ideals with your own hands if it’s beautiful—doesn’t it feel cruel? But this is the truth of martial arts, whether beauty or despair, they are Heart Demons in your heart, and only by overcoming them can you walk further on the path of martial arts.”
The Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear spoke eloquently. Although his words might not be perfect, they encapsulated the essence of cultivation. Ye Fan indeed realized sothing from his words.
“Thank you for your teachings!”
Ye Fan thanked the Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear very humbly, then chose a spacious place to sit down and closed his eyes, contemplating everything he had experienced in the illusion.
Emotions are both the shackle and the drive of cultivation, whether familial or romantic. Without the obsession of saving Su Liuli, the obsession of searching for his mother, he might not have been so desperate in his cultivation.
Regarding the beauty, Ye Fan felt that keeping it in one’s heart is the best. No matter when it is revisited, the heartwarming scene always touches the heart.
Suffering can also allow a person to grow rapidly, as life’s experiences are nothing more than joys and sorrows, the flavors of life, and without any one of them, life is incomplete.
What he didn’t know was that when he was imrsed in his own illusion and finally uttered those words, even the Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear was stunned.
Qing Zi and the Ancient Saint Heir, and the Tianxuan Saint Heir, although they had all walked out of the illusion on their own, it truly took a great deal of effort, and they felt a bit lost at the mont of breaking free.
But he had known all along that it was an illusion, and instead of rushing to escape, he deeply enjoyed the process.
He only used the Divine Soul Sword Technique to break the illusion and ca out of it when he felt he was ready to leave.
Most importantly, he felt no sorrow at all; for him, the illusion was just a beautiful dream, and when the dream ended, everything returned to the original point.
This kind of willpower was absolutely terrifying. The Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear, who had seen many people, had never witnessed such terrifying willpower before.
During the ti Ye Fan was reflecting, a few more individuals managed to co out of the illusion relying on their own abilities, but it was only by exerting all their effort that they managed to co out by luck.
Most people were trapped in the illusion, either unwilling to co out or completely losing themselves.
“Ti’s up!”
With a wave of its hand, the Artifact Spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear cloaked those still trapped in the illusion in a layer of purple light, and in an instant, they disappeared from the burial chamber, being teleported to outside the tomb.
These people had no idea what had happened until they sensed a violent shock in their consciousness and then woke up, only to find themselves outside the Thunder Gate.
Suddenly, with so many people appearing, the Saints of the two great sacred places, the Ancestor of the Lou Family, the Qing Family Ancestor, and others were all taken aback.
So had already co out earlier and had inford them about what was in the burial chamber, causing a commotion. No one expected that Ye Fan would persist until the very end, entering the main burial chamber.
What comforted them was that this Thunder Gate indeed led to the tomb of the Thunder Venerable Master, and since entering the main burial chamber, there would definitely be so gains.
However, what made other Family Heads and Sect Leaders uneasy was that according to those who ca out, anyone left behind and failing the assessnt would have no path but death.
So many people stayed in the main tomb chamber, and in the end, only one person can pass the examination and receive the inheritance. Wouldn’t it be a huge loss if the one who ultimately receives the inheritance is not from one’s own sect?
However, just as they were worrying, another large group of people suddenly appeared outside the Light Gate, as if they had directly fallen out of space.
“What exactly happened inside? Who finally passed the examination? Who got the final inheritance?”
“Did you see our sect’s Lan Yeyun?”
“How is the genius from our family?”
As soon as these people ca out, many imdiately surrounded them with questions, so inquiring about the final result, others about the geniuses from their own sects or clans.
For a ti, outside the Thunder Gate was bustling and noisy, like a marketplace.
Fortunately, this ti quite a few people were transported out, and they were all invited aside and questioned carefully about what exactly happened inside.
In less than an hour, these people outside understood what had happened inside, and it caused a huge uproar!
No one expected that Ye Fan, a little cultivator at the peak of the True Essence Realm, could safely make it to the end and pass the first test. It was simply incredible.
Especially those cultivators who had retreated earlier felt a burning embarrassnt on their faces. They didn’t even have the courage to stay, already losing in terms of determination.
“I’m growing more fond of this kid. What kind of freak is he? How could he manage to make it safely to the end among a group of Holy Embryo Realm cultivators with just a True Essence Realm cultivation?”
The Ancient Saint couldn’t help but be curious upon learning of Ye Fan’s situation. In his view, Qing Zi, his Saint Heir, and the Tianxuan Saint were all outstanding figures of the younger generation. It was not surprising for them to make it to the end, but Ye Fan making it there was completely beyond his expectations.
“I don’t have high hopes for him. Although inside the tomb he could evaluate various forbidden asures making Qing Zi hesitant to act recklessly, what about outside? He can’t always stay in the tomb. Once he fails to obtain the inheritance, he’s dood outside.”
The Tianxuan Saint was more rational. Although he was also interested in Ye Fan, he knew that Ye Fan would eventually die. A genius who perishes prematurely cannot be called a genius.
“Hmph! Just a little ant. If not for worrying about harming the innocent, my Qing’er would have crushed him like a stinking insect long ago!”
The Qing Family Ancestor was very proud. He knew well Qing Zi’s talent and comprehension, believing that the Thunder Venerable’s inheritance could only manifest between Qing Zi, the Ancient Saint, and the Tianxuan Saint. As for Ye Fan, passing the first test was already fortunate; passing the second was almost impossible.
This was also the thought of most others. Ye Fan’s realm was too low, a whole Great Realm lower than Qing Zi and the others, not sothing to be trifled with. With such a gap, he didn’t even have the ability to protect himself. What could he use to compete with others?
However, contrary to their views, Yaling was confident that Ye Fan had a chance to obtain the Thunder Venerable’s inheritance.
Unlike others, she knew well that among all these people, Ye Fan was the most likely to obtain the Thunder Venerable’s inheritance — Ye Fan had practiced the Thunderclap Treasure Skill, although not necessarily fully, he had at least been exposed to it, unlike the others.
In terms of aura, Ye Fan had the Thunder Power, making his compatibility with the Thunder Venerable’s inheritance the highest and the most likely to obtain it.
While everyone was making judgnts in their hearts, the Ancestor of the Lou Family’s face was extrely grim. None of their mbers were left inside.
This ti, in the struggle for opportunities, he had deployed almost all the elite young mbers of the Lou family, ending in complete annihilation, igniting his fury.
Though he said nothing, from the fury in his eyes and the aura of killing intent he emanated, it was clear that once Ye Fan erged alive from the tomb, the Ancestor of the Lou Family would certainly take action!
In the competition among the younger generation, the elder generation was not supposed to intervene. Although there was such an unwritten rule in the cultivation world, did the Ancestor of the Lou Family care at this mont?
Their family’s two most promising young mbers were all killed by Ye Fan. If he did not tear Ye Fan to pieces and grind his bones to ashes, how could he quell the hatred in his heart?
As for the other sects, most who remained neutral were observing. Although they also didn’t think Ye Fan could escape the tomb alive, it wasn’t their concern, so they saw no reason to worry.
Anyway, the situation was already clear: only a few who went in could pass the illusion realm examination. Either the Thunder Venerable’s inheritance would appear among them, or not at all, depending on their comprehension and fortune.
However, no one left. They were all waiting for the final result. The Thunder Venerable, a supre being second only to the Great Emperor tens of thousands of years ago, whose inheritance held the interest of many.
Moreover, even though other regions were not directly involved, they had affiliated clans or sects in the Southern Domain. Through these people, they too were closely monitoring this affair.
…
“Have you all gained sothing? Now, we will proceed to the second test, the comprehension test!”
While discussions were rife outside, inside the tomb chamber, Ye Fan and others had finished their comprehension. The spirit of the Thunder Emperor Spear glanced over everyone and announced the comncent of the second test.
