After sitting down, he found that this jade platform was made of Han Baiyu, but it didnt have the slightest chill, instead it was as warm and smooth as sheep fat jade. Upon closer inspection, various intricate patterns could be seen carved on the surface of the jade platform, which were clearly array patterns.
This grand jade platform is an illusion array. Its said that this illusion array was created by several pre-heavenly supreme experts from the Seven Profound Valleys of the Great Sect, where the illusory realm and reality are indistinguishable.
But Lin Ming was not worried, after all, the illusion was just an illusion, as long as he kept his heart firm, no matter how vast the illusion was, he would remain unmoved!
At this moment, Lin Ming sat on the White Jade Stage, his mental state clearer than it had ever been before.
As soon as the tenth breath was reached, Lin Ming only felt a strong light flashing around him, and all the examinees disappeared. In his field of vision, Lin Ming could only see himself.
This was a boundless and endless grassland, as far as the eye could see, it was endless. Just then, a group of ferocious beasts rushed out from the tall grass that was as high as a person, and charged straight at Lin Ming.
Dozens of ferocious beasts, unexpectedly all were Lin Mings former first-class fierce beasts that he had dissected before, ran with a shocking momentum, stirring up dust and debris.
Lin Mings face didnt change color, and he waited straight for these fierce beasts to pounce over.
"Ah!"
The fierce beast passed through his body, Lin Ming was unscathed, but in the instant that the beast passed through him, Lin Ming indeed felt a very strong shock and pressure. Although he knew it was an illusion, he couldnt shake off this feeling, as if it was a fear that came from his soul.
Is this the effect of a mirage? Even though I know its an illusion, I still easily get lost in it. Once Im lost, I dont even know that its an illusion anymore.
In that case, illusions become reality, and if its a murderous illusion, one can directly kill someone in the illusory realm.
When Lin Ming passed the first test with ease, more than a dozen white lights suddenly lit up on the jade platform. In an instant, over a dozen people were transported out of the platform and fell to the ground. Without exception, their faces turned pale, their eyelids twitching wildly. They had all become lost in the illusion, and once lost, they would imagine themselves being torn apart by wild beasts into shredded flesh and broken bones. As time passed, they became more and more frightened, ultimately losing control of their minds and being transported out.
Several elderly men of the Seventh Xuanwu Sect on the pavilion saw these dozen or so people and shook their heads slightly. The first trial of the Illusory Realm tests ones courage; cultivating martial arts is fraught with danger, and if they dont even have this bit of bravery, whats the point of practicing martial arts?
"Muyi, that little guy you know is quite something, he passed in an instant." The person in the pavilion knew Muyi and Linming were acquainted, but Muyi hadnt mentioned Linmings achievements in Mingwen, which was Linmings request.
Mu Yi simply said Lin Ming was a former friend, and this time he came to see how the young man had grown.
The beautiful woman who was in charge of the first trial also appeared in the Lake Heart Pavilion, because Lin Mings performance in the first trial was too outstanding, she also noticed Lin Ming, and found that Lin Ming only frowned for an instant, and then recovered calmly.
On the other hand, some people gritted their teeth, while others had ferocious expressions, apparently they were fighting fiercely with those fierce beasts in the illusion, and were now trapped in a bitter battle.
In the illusion, the stronger ones faith and attachment, the more powerful it becomes. Conversely, the weaker it is. Those who fought fiercely against the ferocious beasts were indeed brave, but none of them had a heart as fearless as Lin Mings, sitting calmly on the ground like Mount Tai, allowing the wild beasts to pounce at him, holding fast to his convictions, and shattering the illusions.
"No wonder you came specifically to see this kid, his martial heart is quite good, comparable to Ling Sens." Another elderly man said.
Mu Yi just smiled and Lin Ming passed the first test with ease, he wasnt surprised at all.
Qin Xingxuan was also secretly comparing, although Lin Mings talent was far inferior to her own, but the determination of his martial arts heart surprised her, when she passed the first test, it took a lot of effort, while Lin Ming only used a few breaths.
At this time, Lin Ming had already reached the second pass.
The second pass, the scene changed greatly, Lin Ming suddenly arrived at a bloody battlefield, surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, broken swords and shattered halberds, white bones everywhere.
On such a battlefield, there was suddenly a loud shout, and the distant place was instantly filled with smoke and dust. On both sides of Lin Ming, two heavy cavalry troops wearing heavy armor and holding long guns suddenly appeared, and these two armies were about to collide head-on, while Lin Ming happened to be sitting right in the middle of their charge.
Thousands of troops and horses charged together, shouting loudly, the momentum directly rushed to the sky, while Lin Ming guarded his heart, not moving at all. The first time he experienced an illusion was because he was caught off guard, and there was still a little bit of fluctuation in his heart. This time he was well-prepared and held his spirit tightly.
The result was that the thousands of troops and horses had not yet charged when they were already reduced to flying ashes, and the illusion was shattered once again!
"Huh? Broke again? Or not?" An elder looked at Lin Ming, somewhat incredulous. This kid didnt even furrow his brow, if he hadnt seen the faint glow emanating from Lin Mings seated meditation, he would have thought the illusion array had failed.
"This kid is not simple, I dont know how long it will take him to break through the barrier, if he can catch up with Ling Sen, that would be a surprise."
The five passes of the Illusory Realm, ordinary people usually take an hour to pass through all of them. In the past decade, the best record was held by Ling Sen from Tianzhi House, who passed through in just one incense sticks time. This shocked the elder of Qixing Wu House greatly, because apart from Ling Sen, everyone else took at least half an hour.
Ling Sen himself was desireless and had no desires, almost a ruthless killer. He often said that without desires, one would be strong, and this kind of person was the most terrifying when practicing martial arts.
Ling Sen also proved this, at the age of twenty, with a four-star lower talent, he became the eldest brother of Tians House, and many people with four-star upper talents were left far behind by him.
"Its still hard to say now, the difficulty lies in the last three passes." An old man stroked his beard and said, "Ling Sens record is not that easy to break."
At this time, in the illusion, Lin Ming had already reached the third pass. The thousands of horses and soldiers suddenly disappeared, and the scene around Lin Ming changed abruptly, coming to a large house with carved railings and jade pillars, surrounded by warm tents and light gauze, fragrant incense intoxicating people.
Among the pink gauze, a dozen or so lovely young girls were dancing gracefully. These girls had slender and delicate figures, with faces that could close the moon and shame the flowers. As they danced, they slowly undid their clothes and walked towards Lin Ming, filling the entire room with an endless spring scenery of plump breasts and fragrant buttocks, **slender arms filled Lin Mings field of vision, and between breaths, there was only the enticing body fragrance.
At that moment, Lin Ming indeed felt a sudden surge of heat in his heart, and his blood flow accelerated, but he quickly suppressed the heat and stuck to his original intention.
However, those girls did not immediately disappear, but instead seemed unhappy and picked up their clothes, pouting as they retreated. The surrounding scene changed, becoming a warm and cozy room. The room was not large, with a red wooden bed against the wall. On the bed sat a woman wearing a large red flower-patterned jacket, with a silver-lined swan feather cloak draped over her shoulders, and a jade hairpin adorned with carved flowers on her head. This woman was about 25 or 26 years old, and simply sitting there revealed an air of elegance and nobility. Looking at her face, although it showed a few hints of mature charm, it clearly had the shadow of Lan Yuns beauty!
Lan Yun Yue
Lin Mings mind was shocked, is this Lan Yunyue ten years later?
"Good, dont cry." Lan Yunyue hummed a lullaby in a soft voice. On the bed lay a pair of one- to two-year-old babies, surprisingly twins, and looking at their faces, they seemed to resemble Lin Ming somewhat...
It seemed to know that Lin Ming was coming over, and the pair of babies opened their big black eyes, smiling crisply, with innocent and childlike voices echoing in Lin Mings ears, straight into his heart.
Lan Yunyue also smiled and looked at Lin Ming, her red lips lightly opening, "Lin Ming ge, its late, go to sleep."
At that moment, seeing Lan Yunyue and the twins smiles, Lin Mingwus heart of Tao seemed to waver a little - wife, children, a rich and warm home...
Wasnt this kind of life what you wanted for yourself?
Its already been obtained, can stop now...
This thought suddenly occurred to Lin Ming, and he was suddenly awakened. He bit his tongue hard, the pain making his mind clear in an instant.
The scene around her changed suddenly, and Lan Yunyue and the baby both vanished.
Staring at the desolate darkness, Lin Ming broke out in a cold sweat, almost getting lost!
Thinking of the phantom in his dream just now, Lin Ming let out a light sigh, its over, its already over!
Perhaps, such thoughts were once hidden in his own heart, but they have all passed...
"Is it over?"
A faint voice came from behind, Lin Ming opened his eyes to see a girl wearing a feather cloak and holding a long sword standing behind him. The girls temperament was extraordinary, her stunning beauty had an air of heroism.
"Qin Xingxuan?"
Lin Ming was stunned, this woman was clearly Qin Xuan, only a few years older, probably in her early twenties.
"Now that the past is over, why dont you and I cultivate together? Lets go explore the martial path together!" Qin Xuan said as her clothes disintegrated into shreds and disappeared. For a moment, her perfectly slender figure was fully revealed to Lin Mings eyes. She slowly walked towards him like this.
