Mystic Realm Trial (Six)

  Following the direction of memories, Xi Ma rushes along the road without stopping in the wind.

  Nor did I know how far I had wandered, but as I looked around in the wind, not far away was a vast expanse of rippling lake water that stretched out to the horizon...

  Suddenly, Fengli Xi smiled and hastened her pace, walking firmly towards the lake.

  Before long, the icy lake water had risen above his ankles, above his slender calves, and was now lapping at his chest...

  As the salty and slightly bitter lake water slowly eroded all senses, a cry was heard, "Fengli Xi, hurry back to me!"

  It's actually Ruri's voice!

  Feng Li Xi remained unmoved, only lightly smiling as the icy lake water poured into her mouth, flooding over her nose and invading all of her thoughts...

  Seeing Feng Li sink into the water, Lian Xiang had a moment of daze, and the next moment she also jumped into the water without caring...

  He hastily searched for the figure that had sunk into the water, but unexpectedly, after parting the layers of water in front of him, he saw a scene that made him incredulous.

  All that can be seen is a magnificent and majestic high-rise courtyard, with an invisible aura of intimidation surrounding it. The lake water outside seems to be completely blocked by an invisible wall, if not for the fact that she saw it with her own eyes, Lian Xiang wouldn't have thought that there was such a wonderful place in the secret realm of Ling Xiao Sect. It's likely that hidden within this kind of secret mansion is an invaluable opportunity.

  Just a moment ago, the wind that had made him worry was now standing not far away. Her skirt was completely open, like rippling waves, and the gentle lake water reflected on her skirt with a soft silver edge. Although she was too charming, she was beautifully elegant without being common...

  "What is this place?" Lingshuang asked faintly.

  "This is the 'Land of Uncertainty'! The opportunity to defy heaven lies within!" Feng Ri Xi didn't even turn his head back, and before he finished speaking, he charged into the Land of Uncertainty on his own.

  Ling followed closely behind and also rushed in. As soon as they stood firm, the large door behind them slammed shut with a "bang", and could no longer be opened.

  Ling Xue furrowed her delicate eyebrows, just about to say something, but saw Feng Ri Xi's face sternly sizing up the secret room. The large secret room was empty except for a gigantic stone monument blocking the exit, nothing else was in sight.

  Fengli Xi glanced at the smooth stone monument and suddenly pinched his right hand to summon a simple fire spell towards the monument...

  Under the high temperature baking, only to see the original clean stone monument on the surface of a few rows of regular script font. In general, it is said that if you want to get out of this secret room, you have to answer three questions correctly.

  The first question:

  A thousand years of cultivation is not the work of a single day.

  After some thought, Feng Li Xiu lit a small flame at the tip of her finger and seriously filled in the blank space above with the following couplet: "A decade of being a useless person is not just one day's laziness."

  The second question:

  Cultivating immortality is like taking a dump! Every time you advance in level, it's similar yet different each time.

  Feng Li Xi continued to write: Life is like farting! Sometimes you try very hard, but in the end it's just a fart!

  The third question:

  When the water is clear there will be no fish.

  When you reach "two", there is no enemy!

  After watching Feng Li Xi's questions and answers with twitching eyes, Li Shuang suddenly felt speechless. "I always thought that our perspectives on things were not on the same level, now it seems that we are not even on the same channel."

  Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi shook his head and shrugged, saying, "If the answer is something everyone can think of, how can it highlight the extraordinary nature of fate?!"

  "...Lingyue suddenly opened her eyes and was too lazy to bother with that good-for-nothing Xi again."

  At this moment, the spiritual energy that had just been calm suddenly became active, and wave after wave of spiritual consciousness surged out from deep within the stone monument...

  "What's going on?" Lianying asked.

  "My answer was correct, so we can pass the level and get out of here right away!" Fengli Xi struck a victorious pose, answering with full confidence.

  "What would be the consequence if I didn't answer correctly?"

  "Delusion!" Fengri Xi turned around, looking at the man beside him, and said, "Those trapped here will forever be stuck in an illusion until they die without any pain..."

  "Absolutely painless?!" Lingshuang was still shrouded in a faint mist all over her body, mysterious and ethereal, elegant and refined.

  "Uh-huh! The illusions here vary from person to person, and everyone sees something different. However, without exception, these illusions are the manifestations of the deepest desires hidden in people's hearts. So, it can also be said that this way of dying is the least painful and the happiest!" Feng Lixi nodded slightly and said faintly, "Since we can't leave here alive, leaving the world with joy is also the best ending!"

  Before Lingshuang could say anything else, the giant stone monument in front of her suddenly emitted a mournful humming noise. In no time, the monument began to loosen and after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it vanished into thin air amidst a blinding flash of golden light...

  As the line of sight became clear again, Fengli Xi only discovered that behind the tombstone, many cultivators' bodies were lying down, they all had a smile on their faces and died without any pain...

  From young to old, plus the experience of being a person in these two worlds, Feng Li Xi had never seen so many corpses. It can be described as shocking at first sight.

  Although they died without suffering, Feng Ri Xi couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt whenever he thought about how those people had been granted "instant noodles" by him unintentionally.

  No wonder Lingshu was determined to kill herself at first. If it were her, she would have had the urge to kill the mastermind behind these tragedies too!

  Now that it's come to this, she won't shift all the responsibility onto others with a pretentious attitude, nor will she spread her love and care to everyone like Mother Mary Sue; all she can do now is take some actions within her power to alleviate her own guilt.

  Fengri Xi stood quietly in front of the group of corpses and said indifferently, "Sorry! Now, apart from saying sorry, the only thing I can do for you is to take your ashes away from here!"

  After she finished speaking, she stretched out her slender white hands and quickly pinched several complex hand seals. A moderate-sized true yuan yin fire jumped continuously at her fingertips, and then threw the true yuan yin fire onto the corpse's body. The original flames instantly turned into a raging inferno.

  The flames were raging fiercely, but she stood quietly in the wind, watching the fire with her clear and cold eyes reflecting its madness. Her delicate face showed no emotion, as if lost in thought.

  She stared straight at the raging fire in front of her until her body turned to ashes before she withdrew her gaze. She carefully took out a porcelain bottle from her storage bag and filled it with the ashes of all the victims, then lifted her head again to look towards the exit.

  The exit is misty and can't be seen clearly.

  She walked out without any hesitation, but Lili grabbed her arm just in time. "Are you sure this is the exit and not your illusion?"

  "I..." Fengli Xi was about to speak when a suspicious cyan object suddenly flashed past the entrance, and before they could get a clear look at it, it vanished into thin air.

  Seeing this, she furrowed her brow, and Lili's fingers grasping the wrist of Fengri Xi tightened even more, without any intention of letting go.

  "This is the only way out, even if it's a sea of blades and flames, we must charge through!" Feng Ri Xi slowly spoke up after staring at Lian Xiang for half a beat.

  After finishing speaking, she gently opened the icy cold fingertips of Lian Xiang and walked firmly towards the exit...
