A strand of Mixed Yuan Qi seed to exert a natural suppressive effect on these Evil Beasts.
When channeled into the Flying Sword, a single slash could directly annihilate them.
A crystal, light and dark intertwining within it, spun in the air ahead. Wang Mu reached out, grabbed it, and probed its essence.
Such dense Yin and Yang Qi...
If I cultivated the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram, having this… I could probably save a lot of ti!
Wang Mu exclaid in amazent.
No wonder that female disciple had said that after collecting these, if he presented them to a Fengyue Sect Little Demon Girl he was interested in upon leaving the Illusion Realm, it would increase her favorable impression of him.
Seems kind of easy.
Wang Mu continued on his way.
Before long, a second Evil Beast appeared. This ti, it did not take the form of Nanrong Biyou, but Yan Qingwu.
Without a second thought, Wang Mu imdiately slew it.
After all, it wasn't real.
He acquired another crystal.
A few more wouldn't hurt... When the ti cos, I could boost the Fengyue Sect's favorability.
Perhaps it was the Mixed Elent Energy that made slaying them so effortless for Wang Mu. Coupled with his Seven Emotions Sword Heart, he felt no emotional burden.
Who was to say what was real or fake? All that mattered was that he knew in his heart.
As he advanced, one Evil Beast after another rapidly erged.
The third Evil Beast to appear took the form of Mo Xilan.
Wang Mu, still unhesitating, slew it as well, securing a third crystal.
Subsequently, one Evil Beast after another appeared, like tigers blocking his path, continuously erging.
So even took the shape of Brother Qin. There were also several vague shadows, likely because he had not yet encountered these individuals. Similar to his experience on Seven Emotions Island, their forms were indistinct.
It seed these Evil Beasts could not conjure forms out of thin air.
Seven crystals now.
Wang Mu took a deep breath, feeling sowhat numb from all the slaying. But ahead, where the light converged, should be the exit of the Illusion Realm. It was just a few steps away.
However, just then, streams of light converged once more, revealing another figure.
It was the figure of Mu Hongyuan.
Her long, crimson dress radiated an ultimate charm. It was still an Evil Beast.
Wang Mu's heart stirred. This ti, he did not strike but silently observed her, remaining silent.
It was indeed an Evil Beast. The Mixed Elent Energy within it was distinctly detectable.
As she moved quietly forward, even when she was only a step away, Wang Mu still did not strike. A trace of confusion flickered in his eyes, along with a hint of uncertainty.
At this mont, Wang Mu had extrely precise control over his expressions.
Yet, his face still remained expressionless.
The next second, the 'Mu Hongyuan' Evil Beast lunged to attack. Surprise and shock completely filled Wang Mu's eyes.
Just as the Evil Beast was about to touch him, it vanished, as if dispelled by so naless force.
Seeing this, Wang Mu's eyes showed a touch of confusion, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.
The reason for the cold sweat was not fear of the Evil Beast.
It was because he knew there was a ninety-nine percent chance the real Mu Hongyuan was watching everything happening to him in the Illusion Realm.
In other words, she had discovered him.
And even more likely, she also knew about the Yin and Yang Two Evil Spirits that had infiltrated his body...
「On the back mountain.」
The crimson-clad figure watched the silhouette within the circle of light, her expression sowhat complex.
"Knowing it's fake... why didn't you strike?"
As if questioning the air itself, the crimson-clad figure pursed her lips and let out a cold scoff, yet the corners of her mouth curved upwards. "Brother Mu, you're quite the trickster, aren't you? You knew I was watching and put on this show for , right?"
"You could decisively slay Bi You, the girl with whom your relationship had supposedly recovered, and you cut down the others so casually."
"Yet with the last Evil Beast, you feigned hesitation, pretending to be unsure. Your acting skills are quite high, aren't they?"
"Do you think I'll fall for that like the others? Let you off so easily?"
Though she spoke thus, the crimson-clad figure's eyes unconsciously softened.
As she watched him slowly walk out of the Illusion Realm, the crimson-clad figure pondered for a few seconds. It seed a realization dawned on her, and an enigmatic, not-quite-a-smile expression appeared on her captivating face...
「In the square outside the Fengyue Sect's main hall.」
This square served as the regular Cultivation ground for the Fengyue Sect disciples.
It was also where the exit of the Illusion Realm was located.
The Cultivators who had passed through the Illusion Realm stood around, one by one. Their expressions were vacant, as if they were questioning their very existence, unsure of what sort of ordeal they had faced within.
When Wang Mu ca out, there were already quite a few people around.
By his estimation, it was about the third day.
It looks like my Cultivation took quite a while.
Wang Mu thought to himself.
Stepping out of the square, he saw many familiar faces. Ye Ge and Yan Wuxin were among them.
However, since Wang Mu was in his Heavenly Person Transformation state, they did not recognize him.
"Everyone, the ti is nearly up..."
Ahead, the Great Elder of the Fengyue Sect addressed the many Cultivators with a calm expression. "Having passed through the Illusion Realm, your Taoist Hearts must be exceedingly resolute. To be candid, that Illusion Realm is, in fact, the daily Cultivation ground for our sect's disciples."
The assembled Cultivators were taken aback by these words.
"If you could not pass this trial, it ans either your Taoist Heart is not firm, or you ca with ill intentions."
"In the next two trials, you only need to pass one."
"Now, if you encountered Evil Beasts in the Illusion Realm and successfully slew them, then you should have Sha Crystals in your possession."
The Great Elder glanced over the many Cultivators. "These Sha Crystals are a special Cultivation resource, a Supre Treasure. Even for our Fengyue Sect disciples, it is extrely difficult to slay Evil Beasts within the Illusion Realm and obtain this Cultivation resource."
