Chapter 4: Hand it over!

"My axes!" Meng Jingzhou shouted in the illusion realm, wanting to go down and grab the axes.

The River Spirit held up the three axes and appeared on the river surface.

"Young child, you …"

Plop —

He Ling hadn't even finished speaking when she saw Meng Jingzhou suddenly plunge into the river with a plop. The bubbles he spat out were even bigger than his own.

What was going on?

The River Spirit was confused. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The bubbles gradually decreased until they disappeared. The river surface was terrifyingly calm. Only the aura emitted by the River Spirit caused ripples to appear under his feet.

"Why is there no movement? Could he have drowned?"

The River Spirit muttered. He was not too worried that Meng Jingzhou would really drown. This was an illusion realm, so he would not drown.

Before the River Spirit could figure out what Meng Jingzhou was trying to do, another change occurred!

The ripples on the river surface became more frequent. The River Spirit frowned slightly. He had controlled his power very well, so it should not be caused by his own aura.

He reacted. "It's that kid who jumped into the river just now!"

There were wisps of golden aura mixed in the stream, and the water vapor on the river surface emitted wisps of celestial aura. It was as if something terrifying was growing at the bottom of the river!

The unknown terror made one's heart palpitate!

There were three fountains on the river surface. The fountains grew higher and higher, splashing a faint golden mist that covered the entire river surface. The River Spirit could not see clearly what was happening for a while.

A gust of wind blew from an unknown place, dispersing the faint golden mist.

Three silhouettes appeared. They all looked like Meng Jingzhou, but their auras were completely different from before.

The River Spirit trembled. This was an instinctive reaction that came from the depths of his soul!

The ordinary Meng Jingzhou, the powerful cultivator Meng Jingzhou, and … the Immortal Meng Jingzhou!

This was the original rule of the illusion realm: When an object fell into the river, it would change into three different forms: mortal, spirit, and immortal.

"Give it to me." The three Meng Jingzhou spoke in unison and took away their axes.

With the Immortal Meng Jingzhou here, the River Spirit could not fight back at all.

Immortal Meng Jingzhou obtained the Immortal Weapon Heaven Splitting Axe. Immortal Cultivator Meng Jingzhou obtained the Spirit Weapon Mountain Splitting Axe. Mortal Meng Jingzhou took advantage of the fact that He Ling had not reacted and obtained the worn-out axe.

With the three axes in hand, the illusion was broken and Meng Jingzhou passed.

Those who passed the second stage would temporarily fall into a coma. This was the self-protection mechanism of the human body.

Everyone from the Dao Seeking Sect looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou who had passed the second round and remained silent for a long time.

What happened to being an honest person?

Yun Zhi did not speak. She had a premonition that if she recruited these two people into the Dao Seeking Sect, the Dao Seeking Sect would never have peace.

I hope my premonition is wrong.

The real River Spirit appeared, holding a pair of gold and silver axes. It rushed towards Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou aggressively.

As the Spiritual Protector of Zong Shou, he had never suffered such humiliation.

"Don't stop me. I must teach these two brats a lesson today. I'll break their arms and legs and reattach them!"

Seeing this, the Dao Seeking Sect disciples hurriedly stopped the angry He Ling.

"Senior River Spirit, you can't cut it!"

"Senior River Spirit, please calm down."

"If news of something happening to the participants of the test spreads, our Dao Seeking Sect's reputation will be ruined!"

In the end, Dai Bufan stepped forward and stopped the furious River Spirit.

"Senior River Spirit, don't worry. The third test was personally designed by me, Dai Bufan. It will definitely teach these two people a lesson."

Seeing Dai Bufan's solemn promise, the River Spirit finally let it go.

The third test was the finale. There were two proposals. One was proposed by Yun Zhi, which was relatively gentle. The other was proposed by Dai Bufan, which was somewhat cruel. Both of them could test one's Dao Heart. After everyone voted, they unanimously chose Yun Zhi's proposal.

Yun Zhi's plan was too gentle. Even if they didn't pass, there would be no punishment. If they wanted to calm the River Spirit's anger, they could only choose Dai Bufan's plan.

Yun Zhi didn't have any objections.

It was good to let these two little guys suffer.

A large number of people were eliminated in the second test. Faced with the temptation of the three axes, many people followed their inner desires and lied to the River Spirit that they dropped the Heaven Splitting Axe and the Mountain Splitting Axe.

After being eliminated and leaving the illusion, they all complained that the second test was too difficult.

However, not everyone complained that the second test was too difficult. For example, those who passed the second test didn't complain.

"The second test is quite simple." Brutal Bones said, "Just tell the truth."

Everyone waiting for the third test nodded. It was the same as what Brutal Bones said.

"What?

So we're not supposed to jump into the river and snatch the axes from the River Spirit? "Meng Jingzhou shouted. Why were others doing things differently from him?

Lu Yang rolled his eyes at Meng Jingzhou. He felt that he was really stupid. "If the River Spirit isn't an illusion and really exists, wouldn't you have offended the River Spirit?"

"You should have done the same as me. Take the River Spirit's axes and throw them into the river. That way, the three axes will be counted as our drops."

Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized. "You're smart."

Everyone silently looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou who summed up their experience. They began to wonder if their method of passing the test was wrong.

Brutal Bones nodded slightly. He remembered his father saying that the ancient barbarians were almost destroyed because they were arrogant and ignorant. As a descendant, he must overcome this shortcoming and learn humbly from others.

Brutal Bones felt that he had found someone to learn from.

Just as everyone was discussing the correct way to pass the test, Yun Zhi, Dai Bufan, and other disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect appeared.

There was a smile on Dai Bufan's face. With a flip of his palm, a palm-sized mountain appeared. In a few breaths, it had grown to a height of a hundred feet.

Everyone exclaimed in low voices. Such a move was rarely seen even among cultivators.

. "The Heart's Heart Heart's's's's Heart Heart's Heart Heart....

.............................................................

.... pass.............

Someone raised a question. "But wouldn't Brutal Bones have the upper hand then?"

The fifteen-year-old Brutal Bones had the physique of a twenty-five-year-old. He was taller than the others by a head, so he did have an advantage when it came to mountaineering. When he took a step forward, one step was equivalent to two of the others.

Dai Bufan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this problem. The Heart Seeking Mountain will pull everyone's physical fitness to the same level. Be it mortals or cultivators, they will all become mortals in my Heart Seeking Mountain."

"Is there a time limit?" Someone asked.

"No."

Everyone was overjoyed. If there was no time limit, didn't it mean that they could keep trying?

Why would they worry about not being able to pass the third test?

Could it be that the third test was just a formality?

"Can we use magic treasures?" They had special magic treasures given by their clan. They could use them without the use of spiritual Qi. It was a great weapon.

Dai Bufan smiled gloatingly. "Yes."

If the magic treasures could still be used.
