They looked up and saw Lin Yun descending from the air to the ground.
“Senior, I’ve passed this stage of the trial, haven’t I?” Lin Yun said with a smile, looking at the bearded man.
“You… you…” The bearded man’s eyes widened, staring at Lin Yun in utter shock.
The other four nearby looked at Lin Yun as if he were a monster.
Lin Yun had entered the trial yesterday and come out today?
If they hadn’t seen him enter with their own eyes, they might have doubted whether he had even gone in at all!
“You… you’ve already passed?” the bearded man asked, his voice sharp with astonishment.
“Yes, Senior, I’ve passed. This stage was somewhat challenging, but not too difficult. It was just a series of constantly shifting illusions,” Lin Yun said, still smiling.
The pagoda was akin to a formation, creating numerous illusory realms.
Those entering the trial were unaware of its specifics beforehand, so they couldn’t prepare strongly against the illusions and would easily succumb to them.
Lin Yun’s willpower was already exceptional, and after cultivating the Mind Determination Technique, his willpower had improved further.
Thus, in just one day, Lin Yun had navigated through multiple illusions and successfully emerged.
Hearing this, the bearded man couldn’t help but swallow hard, his throat dry. The illusions inside were extraordinarily intense. He had tried them himself once, passing the earlier illusions but failing at the final one.
Yet Lin Yun made it seem so effortless?
“This guy… he’s practically a monster!”
“This time, Senior Brother really brought back an extraordinary talent.”
The others couldn’t help but exclaim.
The way they looked at Lin Yun had changed.
This willpower trial, though intangible, was typically the most daunting and feared.
“Haha, excellent! It seems even I underestimated you. Passing this stage of the trial, I can’t help but admire you,” the bearded man said, laughing heartily after a moment of stunned silence.
Lin Yun’s performance filled him with ecstatic joy.
He saw hope that Lin Yun could pass the entire Wuji Trial.
“Senior, what’s the next trial? Let’s continue,” Lin Yun said eagerly.
“Having passed these two stages, you’ve proven your foundation is exceptional and worthy of significant cultivation. Now, only the final stage remains.”
The bearded man waved his hand, revealing a cyan seed. “Hold out your hand. I need a drop of your blood to drip onto this cyan seed.”
“Oh? This is a trial?” Lin Yun asked, visibly surprised.
Dropping blood on a seed, what kind of trial was that?
“No need for questions. The details can’t be explained. Just do it,” the bearded man said.
“Alright!”
Lin Yun didn’t dwell on it further and extended his finger.
The bearded man drew his weapon, channeling his internal energy.
“He’s at the Hedao Realm?” Lin Yun was startled, sensing the bearded man’s cultivation level.
The Xudao Realm was divided into Shaping the Dao, Transforming the Dao, and Merging with the Dao.
This bearded man had reached the final sub-realm of the Xudao Realm.
Such a level, among the human race, was undoubtedly a formidable powerhouse.
After all, Lin Yun knew there were only a dozen or so Supreme Realm cultivators among humans.
Below the Supreme Realm, the Hedao Realm was naturally the highest level.
With such a cultivation level, one could establish a highly powerful faction, like the Wu Clan.
Yet, despite possessing the Hedao Realm, this bearded man still had to remain hidden, even fleeing from place to place.
The reason was simple. If he revealed himself, six powerful factions would unite to hunt him down.
The bearded man swung his weapon, cutting Lin Yun’s finger.
Drip.
A drop of blood fell onto the cyan seed.
Lin Yun stared nervously at the cyan seed, unsure why he was asked to drip blood onto it.
Moreover, he noticed that after his blood touched it, the cyan seed showed no change.
The bearded man stared at the seed even more intently, as if anticipating something.
A moment later.
“No reaction? It seems it didn’t work,” the bearded man said, shaking his head in disappointment as he put away his weapon.
Buzz.
Just as he was about to store the cyan seed, it suddenly began to emit a faint cyan glow.
“Hm? There’s a reaction!?”
The bearded man, who had been disappointed, suddenly widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the cyan seed.
“Haha, fantastic! Heaven has eyes! We’ve finally found someone who can activate it!”
After a moment of stunned silence, the bearded man threw his head back and laughed loudly.
“He actually activated it! That’s amazing! Amazing!”
The other four were also swept up in excitement.
Only Lin Yun was utterly confused.
What was going on?
When the bearded man looked at Lin Yun again, Lin Yun noticed his gaze was like that of someone beholding a stunning beauty.
No! It was more like seeing a rare treasure, his eyes practically sparkling.
