"Brother Dongfang, you seem very excited?" Mo Xilan remarked.
"No, I’m just... very skeptical about this thod of cultivation," Wang Mu replied.
I et one of the conditions.
The ’darkest mont of life’—isn’t that my current situation?
’Great enlightennt’... It truly feels a bit like that.
Having experienced all sorts of calamities, according to Mo Xilan, my tribulations were none other than those few heroines.
Indeed, if I could resist their temptations and endure, it was sowhat possible.
"Then, shall we try it now?" Mo Xilan said, her eyes narrowing. "If you can’t hold back later, don’t bla , alright? If your cultivation fails, this chance won’t co again. It’s now or never."
"You’ll transform into them?" Wang Mu asked.
"Correct."
Wang Mu coughed. "What sort of temptation thod?"
"Why don’t you try and see?" Mo Xilan said with a light smile. "I’ll tempt you just as you imagine."
Wang Mu was speechless.
"Alright, let’s do it," Wang Mu said.
Then I really must give it a proper try!
If I could succeed and cultivate the Buddha Heart, I would be able to control the Infinite Demon Body on my own.
That way, if there really is no other option, I could also control the Infinite Demon Body to absorb Life Span on my own.
Of course, it’s certainly not sothing to be absorbed at will...
Mo Xilan nodded slightly and then lightly waved her hand.
In an instant, although they were clearly inside the Four Symbols Elixir Furnace, the surrounding scenery unconsciously began to change.
Wang Mu’s Primordial Spirit trembled, and he instantly felt boundless confusion, a blur...
「When he awoke once again...」
Wang Mu suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for air, and looked into the distance.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Thunderclouds rolled, and Heavenly Thunder filled an expanse of three thousand miles.
Crossing Tribulation?
"Who is undergoing a Crossing Tribulation?"
Wang Mu looked around. He was on Heavenly Sword Peak.
Looking up at the Heavenly Vault, he saw soone undergoing their Crossing Tribulation. The figure was very familiar... Wang Mu patted his head. He felt as if he knew sothing, yet at the sa ti, knew nothing at all.
What’s going on?
Wang Mu walked out of Heavenly Sword Peak; an incredibly terrifying aura perated the air.
"Senior Brother, what’s happening?"
"What do you an, ’what’s happening’? It’s a Crossing Tribulation, of course!"
"Crossing Tribulation?"
"Who?"
"Elder Yan!"
Wang Mu was startled. Elder Yan?
Wait, isn’t Heroine Yan from the Heavenly Slash Sect...
Suddenly, Heavenly Thunder flashed, and a figure fell from the sky, crashing down into the Cloud Sea.
The entire world seed to turn deathly still and gray.
What is going on?
Wang Mu, filled with suspicion, went to Upper Cloud Peak and saw the six Peak Leaders. However, the faces of four among them were utterly bleak.
"Wang Mu, you’ve co?" Sect Master Jian saw Wang Mu, his expression somber. "Just in ti. The Elder wants to see you one last ti."
"One last ti?" Wang Mu was astonished. "What do you an?"
"The Elder failed her Crossing Tribulation..." Cheng Tianyong said in a low voice. "She is about to pass away. You are the disciple she brought back, and the only disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak. She wants to see you one last ti."
Wang Mu was bewildered.
"Co with ."
Sect Master Jian grabbed Wang Mu’s shoulder, and they plunged directly into the Cloud Sea.
After a short while, they saw a wooden hut.
"The Elder is in that wooden hut," Sect Master Jian gestured. "You go."
After speaking, he disappeared.
Wang Mu, filled with doubts, walked into the wooden hut.
There, he saw Heroine Yan sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed, her aura dissipating, her body as faint as a shadow, as if she might vanish at any mont.
"You’ve co..." Elder Yan said in a low voice. "Brother Mu..."
"You..."
"Don’t speak..." Elder Yan sighed softly. "In the end, it was still too late... I’m going to leave... It’s worth it to see you one last ti before I pass..."
After speaking, she gazed at Wang Mu, her eyes filled with complex and incredibly deep emotions.
But the mont she finished speaking, her figure flickered and slowly transford into specks of starlight, then dissipated.
Wang Mu’s heart seized. He instinctively reached out to grab, but only grasped emptiness. The specks of starlight, like fireflies, slipped through the gaps between his fingers and vanished.
"Wait, isn’t there a way to save you?" Wang Mu imdiately asked.
"Save ...?" Elder Yan’s eyes focused slightly. She lowered her head. "If Brother Mu is willing, there is indeed a way... but it requires you and ..."
"How so?"
"Dual Cultivation..."
"Dual Cultivation?"
"Correct. And it would cause you great harm..."
"Harm?"
"Harm?"
"Defying the heavens naturally incurs Heaven’s Punishnt..."
Wang Mu didn’t understand. He instinctively wanted to agree, because he felt as if he had done sothing similar before.
But just as he opened his mouth, he abruptly stopped.
No... Sothing isn’t right...
Wang Mu fell silent for a mont. Although he clearly wanted to agree, a voice deep within his consciousness warned him not to.
A few monts later, Elder Yan looked at the silent Wang Mu with a sowhat tragic smile and completely transford into specks of starlight.
Seeing this, Wang Mu’s heart constricted violently. An irrepressible wave of regret washed over him, accompanied by a soul-deep, throbbing pain...
But in the blink of an eye, the surrounding scene gradually faded away.
A subtle emotion flowed within his Primordial Spirit.
"Not bad... You actually managed to hold on," Mo Xilan’s voice faintly reached his ears.
Wang Mu snapped back to reality, staring at Mo Xilan in front of him.
Good heavens, this is what you call temptation?
You use this to tempt a Nascent Soul Cultivator like ?
"How is it? Does your heart ache terribly?" Mo Xilan asked faintly. "Only when the pain is piercing enough, and one has the willpower to sever these bonds, can one achieve great enlightennt and comprehend such Buddhist Holy Scriptures."
"Brother Dongfang, what kind of temptation were you expecting?"
Wang Mu took a few deep breaths. He had to admit, it had been excessively real and had caused him considerable discomfort.
Theoretically, this wasn’t the first ti he had experienced such an Illusion Realm.
But the Illusion Realm Mo Xilan had conjured was equivalent to a ’bad end’ in a ga—an unfavorable outco.
