Tianlinzi then turned his gaze to the scenes in the other four images.

At this moment, Yu Hao was trapped in a swamp, unable to free himself, and his body was on the verge of being submerged. His expression was one of agony, as if he was struggling, yet also reluctant to give up.

Tianlinzi smiled and said, “This is the Illusory Heart-Tempering Field. It tests a martial artist’s willpower. One will experience all kinds of scenarios related to the seven emotions and six desires. Only those with an unwavering will can pass through. Young man, if you die here, don’t blame me…”

Meanwhile, Li Qingyao’s figure was in a deep lake. The water in the lake rushed rapidly, and countless, unending reeds surrounded his body, dragging him down to the bottom of the lake with all their might.

Mu Zili was in a dense grassland. The dark red weeds, over ten feet tall, concealed his figure…

Ji Ou was also trapped in a desert. The quicksand kept swallowing his body, but he kept climbing out.

In short, each of the five had their own trials.

Tianlinzi couldn’t help but laugh heartily and say, “This level tests your willpower. If you can’t persevere, you will surely die.”

“However…”

His gaze fell again on the mountainous area where Ye Wushuang was.

“Your trial… is not only about testing how firm your will is but also about finding out just how far your endurance can go. Ye Wushuang… don’t let me down!”

…

In the mountainous region, as Ye Wushuang advanced and retreated, he had already spent six hours there. The time limit of one day was drawing near. If he couldn’t reach the destination, he would die!

At this moment, even though Ye Wushuang himself had a firm will and great perseverance, as he searched for the only glimmer of hope, sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned pale. The consumption was simply too great. This was even more exhausting than a series of life – and – death battles. Every step was like walking on the edge of a cliff; one wrong move and it would be the end.

As the sky grew darker, Ye Wushuang’s figure suddenly stopped at the foot of a certain mountain. The spiritual patterns around his body glowed brightly under the night sky, like dancing spirits. In that instant, Ye Wushuang seemed to merge with heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the spiritual patterns around his body, as if imbued with a unique essence, became even more radiant.

“Mind entering the spiritual formation.”
“Man and formation united as one.”

Ye Wushuang’s eyes suddenly opened wide, clear and bright, and the exhaustion in his mind vanished.

“This is… the state of Mind Formation!”

There was a hint of joy in Ye Wushuang’s eyes.
“Exactly, the state of Mind Formation!”

What was the state of Mind Formation? It was when a spiritual formation master perfectly merged with the spiritual patterns they had drawn. In this state, the spiritual patterns were more agile and had greater explosive power. Once condensed into a spiritual formation, the power it could unleash was much stronger. It was similar to the sword intent and sword momentum of a swordsman. The state of Mind Formation for a spiritual formation master was also an extremely rare realm of understanding.

Even though Ye Wushuang was the reincarnation of the Celestial Emperor, he still needed to understand, comprehend, and master realms like sword intent and Mind Formation step by step. To his surprise, hovering between life and death this time had led him to understand the state of Mind Formation. In fact, up until now in this life, he hadn’t truly focused too much on the path of spiritual formations. Now… he really had to thank Tianlinzi.

The state of Mind Formation was also divided into the Subtlety level, the Minor Accomplishment level, the Great Accomplishment level, and the Perfection level. But even at the Subtlety level, when a spiritual formation master who had understood the state of Mind Formation and one who hadn’t used the same spiritual formation, the power unleashed by the formation would differ by at least three times.

Now that he had entered the state of Mind Formation, Ye Wushuang became more sensitive to the understanding of spiritual patterns and the positional structure of the heavenly and earthly forces and the mountains. His steps became more resolute, and his speed increased.

In less than an hour, Ye Wushuang emerged from the vast mountain range.

“Finally made it out…”

Letting out a sigh of relief and looking at the rising moon and the star – filled sky, Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “An unexpected gain, the state of Mind Formation!”

Would there be more tests ahead? With firm steps, Ye Wushuang continued forward.

However, the obstacles Ye Wushuang encountered on the subsequent journey were much easier to overcome. Along the way, he met one fourth – level spirit beast after another trying to block his path, but they all became the victims of his sword. It seemed that only the trial in the mountain range had been the most difficult, and the road ahead was much smoother.

As the starry sky faded and a ray of dawn seemed to appear on the horizon, Ye Wushuang finally saw a mountain at the end of the horizon in front of him. The mountain rose abruptly from the ground, standing alone. Looking closely, the entire mountain resembled the Chinese character “pin”, as if three huge stones were piled together. At the top of the “pin” – shaped mountain, a towering palace stood proudly.

“At the end of the land, at the tip of the pin – shaped tower, the Imperial – grade spiritual technique!”

Ye Wushuang looked at the thousand – zhang – high pin – shaped mountain in front of him and clenched his fists.

“Tianlinzi, what exactly are your intentions!”

With a murmur, the young man in white took a step forward and headed towards the pin – shaped mountain…
