The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 745: Heart Refining

Xuansheng Country, outside the mountain gate of Tiandao Sect.

Today is the third stage of the Tiandao Sect's recruitment of outer disciples. The content of the assessment is called "Refining the Heart" and is presided over by Elder Li, the outer sect elder of the Tiandao Sect.

Elder Li, who has reached the middle stage of the Refining Void realm, is good at illusion. There are not many people who specialize in illusion in the world of immortal cultivation. This is considered an unpopular course, but its power should not be underestimated.

"Elder Li, everything is ready, and all the candidates are here." A Yuanying disciple reported to Elder Li, who nodded slightly and said, "Let's get started."

Pan Chengfeng was in the crowd, and saw a pretty female cultivator at the Refining Void stage stand up and walk to the front. He muttered, "Is this the outer sect elder who is hosting the last show, Li Caiqin? She is in the middle stage of Refining Void, and a little over a thousand years old."

Li Caiqin walked up to the stage, glanced at the people below, and said calmly: "The last show will be hosted by me. I warn you all here that the stage of refining the heart is not easy to pass!

People with weak minds and weak wills will get lost in the illusion created by me and will never be able to get out!

Even if you manage to get out of it by chance, there is a high possibility that you will be haunted by inner demons and your spiritual devotion will be damaged.

Therefore, I will give you another half an hour to consider, it is still not too late to withdraw now."

There was a lot of discussion below. Who could have thought that just taking the entrance exam would be life-threatening!

Pan Chengfeng sneered secretly: "If this is not a scare tactic, I will wash my hair upside down! If Tiandao Sect recruits disciples and there are casualties everywhere, who will dare to come to Tiandao Sect in the future?

However, it is still a good idea to use this method to eliminate those who are weak-willed and afraid of death."

Sure enough, after just a little while, thousands of people backed out.

Half an hour later, 20,000 people withdrew from the assessment. Li Caiqin said in disdain: "You still want to come to my Tiandao Sect to practice? The Sect Master also told us not to be too harsh and to recruit more people.

That's it. No matter how many more come, they will only be a burden to the sect!"

Those who withdrew left on their own. There were still more than 100,000 people in the venue. Li Caiqin nodded slightly and without further ado, she directly started to cast a spell!

Li Caiqin's eyes were shining brightly with white light, and her hands kept making seals. Then she shouted: "Illusion Mind Technique·Refining the Mind!!" A white light was spread out, covering hundreds of thousands of people.

Pan Chengfeng only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he actually appeared in the office of his previous life!!!

"Oh my god! It's incredible. This woman's illusion can actually reflect what's deep in my heart!" Pan Chengfeng said with emotion: "Based on this trick, this woman is a talent!!"

Pan Chengfeng rolled his eyes, and suppressed the thoughts that had just arisen. He thought to himself: "Forget it, we are destined not to see each other again, so why bother to see each other? I'd better break her illusion and get out as soon as possible."

Wandering around the familiar office, Pan Chengfeng touched this and that, and finally looked at the laptop and said with a smile: "So it's here!"

With one hand he pointed at the air, and the scene before him shattered like glass with a ping.

Pan Chengfeng's magic power and mental strength are much higher than Li Caiqin's. He found the key point of the illusion she constructed at a glance.

When Pan Chengfeng was breaking the illusion, Li Caiqin also sensed it and said in surprise: "In just half a minute, someone found the center of the formation and easily broke my illusion?!"

Li Caiqin searched the crowd with her spiritual consciousness, trying to find the person who could break her illusion, but everyone was meditating with their eyes closed, with expressions that varied from smiling to worried.

Although Pan Chengfeng had broken the illusion, he still sat there pretending to be calm. Li Caiqin knew that someone had broken the illusion, but with more than 100,000 people, where could she find the person who had broken the illusion?

As time passed, some people started to cry and even started punching and kicking each other, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

However, the Tiandao Sect was well prepared. A group of Nascent Soul cultivators immediately entered the scene, knocked out those who were deeply affected by the illusion, and dragged them out.

Li Caiqin was not bluffing, her illusion could kill people! If no one cared, many of these monks trapped in the illusion would probably kill themselves.

The more Pan Chengfeng watched, the more frightened he became. More and more people were going crazy. Out of 140,000 people, only 50,000 to 60,000 could still hold on. Most of the others had been tortured by the illusion beyond recognition and could only be freed from it by external interference.

Pan Chengfeng connected his mind to Heiwu and asked: "Heiwu, can you do what she did?" Heiwu meowed and spread his hands.

Meaning: Although they both practiced spiritual power, their directions were different. Hei Wu mainly practiced attack methods, while Li Caiqin practiced trapping the enemy.

It was difficult for it to create an illusion for Du Hongjuan alone, let alone make hundreds of thousands of people fall into the illusion of its own creation at once. It was simply impossible.

Some people lost control, and naturally some succeeded. After five or six hours, some people began to escape from the illusion, and the registrar on the side began to register them. These were all excellent seedlings.

Pan Chengfeng didn’t dare to “wake up” with these people and could only continue pretending.

Li Caiqin has been looking for the person who broke her illusion in just half a minute.

Especially among those people who woke up on their own after five or six hours, I searched back and forth several times but did not find any one with strong mental power.

Li Caiqin frowned and thought to herself: "Should I report this to the Sect Master? This person is probably a spy sent by the enemy.

But if I were to make such a conclusion without any evidence, I might ruin a genius illusionist!"

Just as I was worrying, I heard Xuan Yuanzi's voice: "Elder Li, this is too much. This time, the outer sect needs to recruit at least 80,000 people, but now there are less than 60,000 people left!"

Li Caiqin replied: "Don't blame me, Sect Master. Even if we accept those with weak wills, they will not benefit the sect at all. Why waste those resources to train them?

The 60,000 people I deleted are at least loyal to the sect."

Xuan Yuanzi sighed and said, "We know what Elder Li said. Well, the 60,000 people cannot be any less. We will accept them all into the outer sect, and select another 50,000 people to serve as miscellaneous disciples."

Li Caiqin bowed slightly and was about to report the matter, but Xuan Yuanzi spoke first: "Elder Li, when you are done here, come to Qianhuanju immediately. Master Shangguan still needs your company."

Li Caiqin paused as she cupped her hands, her face suddenly turned pale! How could she not understand what this meant? This meant that she was to accompany Shangguan Heng!

Although Shangguan Heng is handsome, Li Caiqin is not unqualified. She is a loser who needs to sell her body to get ahead!

But she couldn't directly refuse the Sect Master's order. And the meaning of his words was just to let her sit with Shangguan Heng.

After a short pause, Li Caiqin immediately recovered and said, "As you command."
