No hope for eternal life

Chapter 228: The Guardian Spirit

However, Mu Yanggu and the others were puzzled and asked, "Aren't we going to Lingshan Sect? Why did we change to the Sub-Saint Realm?"

Mu Changsheng did not answer immediately, but led the two into the box, opened the isolation formation, and then explained: "We can no longer go to Lingshan Sect..."

Mu Changsheng did not hide the truth from his parents any longer and told them everything that had happened.

After listening to Mu Changsheng's story, Mu Yanggu frowned and advised Mu Changsheng: "You are confused. What kind of force is Lingshan Sect? How can a Yuanying realm cultivator like you disobey it?"

Chen Wanru also chimed in, "That's right, my son, you are too brave. Once Lingshan Sect reacts, we will be caught before we even escape to Tiansheng Realm. Moreover, Tiansheng Realm is the territory of the devil Changsheng Emperor. We will be in trouble even if we get there."

Mu Yanggu continued, "Go back now. Fortunately, Ji Chang is not dead yet. Your crime does not deserve death. If you take the initiative to admit your mistake, Lingshan Sect will definitely forgive you."

Mu Yanggu and the other man talked back and forth, leaving Mu Changsheng stunned.

The next moment, Mu Changsheng suddenly attacked, his hands turned into claws, and as fast as lightning, he grabbed the throats of Mu Yanggu and Chen Wanru.

"What did you do to my parents?" Mu Changsheng's low voice came out slowly, he was forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart.

Before in Qingliu Town, perhaps because Mu Qun was there, Mu Changsheng had been worried and did not notice anything wrong with Mu Yanggu and the other man.

But now, Mu Changsheng was absolutely sure that the two people in front of him were definitely not his parents, and his parents would definitely not be able to say what they just said.

The only explanation Mu Changsheng could think of at the moment was that Lingshan Sect had already discovered everything, captured his parents, and arranged a pair of fake parents for him.

"Mu Yanggu", who was grabbed by the throat by Mu Changsheng, was not panicked, but showed a strange smile: "I didn't expect you to find out this?"

As he spoke, the face and figure of "Mu Yanggu" changed, and he turned into Ji Chang!

But before Mu Changsheng could be shocked, Ji Chang transformed again and became Gao Chong, and then became Wang Tianhua, Xia Rong and Xiao Jingshan.

In the end, his face froze as Muxun and did not change anymore.

"Who are you? Where are my parents?" Mu Changsheng asked in a cold voice, and the strength in his hands continued to increase. But no matter how much he increased, he seemed unable to hurt the other party at all.

"Muxun" said with some disappointment: "I thought you were quite smart, but now I've become like this, haven't you figured it out? Could it be that you're worried about your parents and are confused because of your concern?"

Hearing what the other party said, Mu Changsheng had to calm down and quickly think about everything that happened. Then he finally came to a conclusion that shocked him: "This is an illusion. I am still in the entrance examination of Lingshan Sect. Is the previous entrance ceremony the real entrance examination?"

"Snap!" A snap of fingers came from "Muxun's" fingertips, and he said with a smile on his face: "All correct. By the way, I have another good news for you. You have now truly passed the entrance examination of Lingshan Sect."

Mu Changsheng didn't know what to feel at this moment. He had a feeling that he was played. It turned out that the illusion of Tianshui Realm was just a decoy. Now this illusion that was hard to distinguish between true and false was the real test. He did this probably to see the true reaction of the cultivators taking part in the entrance examination when faced with injustice and evil.

In this way, everything made sense. Mu Changsheng loosened his hands and asked, "So you are the manipulator of this illusion?"

"Illusion manipulator." Fake Muxun shook his head slightly and said, "I don't like this title. Let me introduce myself. I am the guardian spirit of Lingshan Sect. Others call me Senior Spirit, but you are different. I allow you to call me by my name: Daoshi'an."

As she spoke, Taoist Shi'an's body and face changed again, and she became a female. With her long hair casually tied up, her peerless face, and her light yellow long skirt, she was truly stunningly beautiful.

Especially the look that Taoist Master Xi gave Mu Changsheng was extremely charming, because she admired Mu Changsheng's performance in the illusion very much, and it even made her have a different feeling towards this young man besides admiration.

Mu Changsheng restrained his gaze, not daring to look at Master Dao for too long. He bowed his head and clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, Senior Zhenling, how can I leave the illusion and return to reality?"

"As for leaving, it's naturally a matter of my own accord." Taoist Master An said with a smile, but she immediately put on a pitiful look, holding her chest with her bare hands and said: "But do you really want to leave in such a hurry? You have passed the entrance examination. This illusion has lasted for a thousand years, while only one day has passed in the outside world. As a reward for passing the entrance examination, I can allow you to do whatever you want in this illusion!"

After saying that, Taoist Master rushed directly towards Mu Changsheng, as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms.

Fortunately, Taoist Shi'an's speed was not fast, and Mu Changsheng was able to react in time and quickly dodged.

Although he already knew that this was an illusion, Mu Changsheng still couldn't stop sweating profusely, and said in fear and trepidation: "Senior Zhenling, please send me back to reality quickly."

Mu Changsheng has now been numbed by this illusion. He dares not think of anything now and just wants to leave the illusion as soon as possible and return to reality.

"Hypocritical." Taoist Shi'an missed her target, pouted in dissatisfaction, and then snapped her fingers.

Instantly, Mu Changsheng felt dizzy, but before he lost consciousness, he heard Taoist Master's voice again: "I live in Lingzhen Peak, and you are always welcome to visit me!"

Immediately afterwards, when Mu Changsheng opened his eyes again, he returned to the familiar assessment hall. Yang Wuque, Mu Xun and others around him were still sleeping, and no one had woken up.

In front of Mu Changsheng were still the familiar three people: Wang Tianhua, Xia Rong, and Xiao Jingshan.

Mu Changsheng had a strange look on his face. He felt that everything in front of him was too familiar, so familiar that he felt as if he was still in a dream.

Then, Wang Tianhua took the initiative to extend his hand to Mu Changsheng and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Junior Brother Mu. I know you still have some doubts, because we have all experienced this kind of doubt, but you have really passed the entrance examination this time."

Mu Changsheng held Wang Tianhua's hand and asked cautiously: "Are you Senior Brother Wang Tianhua?"

"That's right." Wang Tianhua said with a smile: "I have already introduced myself in the illusion."

"Can you tell me again about the passing criteria for this entry test?" Mu Changsheng asked. The reason why he said again was because Wang Tianhua had already explained it once in the previous illusion.

“No problem.” Wang Tianhua agreed immediately: “Let’s put it this way. If you regard this entrance examination as a big test, our Lingshan Sect’s guardian array spirit is the one who sets the questions and issues the papers, and we are the invigilators, monitoring both you and the array spirit to prevent cheating.”

"As you can see, the illusion is divided into two levels. The first level is actually not important, because as long as you don't do anything too extreme in the first level, you will be told in the second level that you have passed the entrance test. The real test is whether you can stick to your original intention when facing the coercion and inducement of Ji Chang. If you can, you will pass, otherwise you will be eliminated."

"Then how do we determine the two situations of elimination of life and elimination of death?" Mu Changsheng continued to ask.

"It's very simple." Wang Tianhua smiled and said: "It is understandable that he did something bad under the coercion of a stronger person. The crime is not punishable by death. The key lies in whether he can wake up in the future. After being judged to be eliminated, the second level of illusion will still last for a thousand years. If he can turn over a new leaf within a thousand years, he will be eliminated. If not, he will be eliminated to death!"
