Chapter 59

Huaxia Jiu glanced at Wang Chao, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression somewhat displeased.

"Sir, you and I have never met, yet you harbor such intense hostility towards me. It's truly incomprehensible," Huaxia Jiu said bluntly, his voice deep.

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Chao to say anything, he turned and walked to one side, sitting cross-legged on the ground and closing his eyes to meditate.

Seeing this, Wang Chao was first taken aback, then his face turned ashen, his eyes almost spitting fire. He wished he could rush forward and kill Huaxia Jiu right now, but he knew it was impossible to make a move here. He forcibly suppressed his anger. After a long while, he took a deep breath.

"Wang Chao! Looking at your face, did you harass Zheng Shiming and get scolded by her instead?" A young man in a white shirt walked over before Wang Chao could react, looking at him with a mocking smile.

Wang Chao let out a cold snort, glanced at the young man in the white shirt, and said coldly, "Ma Mingge! With your speed in passing the test, you're really disgracing your Ma family. You might as well jump off this spaceship and get lost. I've been waiting here for a long time."

Without waiting for the young man in the white shirt to say anything, Wang Chao walked over to Mu Bingxiang, sat cross-legged on the ground, and squinted his eyes, staring at Huaxia Jiu a few meters away, his gaze flickering, his thoughts unknown.

Seeing this, Ma Mingge sneered coldly, walked to the other side of Mu Bingxiang, sat cross-legged on the ground, and gave Huaxia Jiu a deep look, then glanced at Wang Chao, sneered again, and closed his eyes to meditate.

After Wang Chao and Ma Mingge, more people kept breaking through the second illusion test and appeared on the purple spaceship. After paying their respects to Zhao Jinghong and Xian'er, they sat down to rest.

"One incense stick's time is up!" Zhao Jinghong suddenly retracted his gaze from the distance, and a palm-sized mini purple spaceship appeared in his right hand. Without any visible action, the spaceship suddenly emitted a bright purple light. At the same time, a ripple of waves appeared in the air centered around the spaceship. The nearly twenty people still floating around the spaceship, who had not passed the test, were jolted out of the illusion. Before they could understand the situation, they fell straight down.

"No—"

"This is impossible! How could I not pass the test!"

"Damn it!"

For a moment, these twenty people used wind travel techniques to stabilize themselves while shouting and cursing.

"Hmph! Such mental and willpower, even if you join any sect, it would be a waste of resources. Remember, we cultivators defy the heavens and must endure countless trials and tribulations. Those with impure hearts and weak wills will surely be eroded by heart demons and become puppets of evil. So you should know better!" Zhao Jinghong's cold snort interrupted the twenty people's shouts and curses, his voice like a bell.

The twenty people had already landed on the ground. Hearing Zhao Jinghong's words, most of them still had a deathly pale look and left the central square without a care. But four or five people were enlightened, their despair and dejection slowly fading, and with a thoughtful look, they respectfully bowed in the direction of the purple spaceship and left with determined expressions.

The people on the spaceship who had already passed the test were all startled awake when Zhao Jinghong announced the time was up. They naturally witnessed the entire process. Their expressions varied, some were relieved and sighed, some were proud and disdainful, and some were expressionless. But after hearing Zhao Jinghong's words, they all showed serious and stern expressions, got up, and bowed to Zhao Jinghong, including Huaxia Jiu.

But Huaxia Jiu's thoughts at this moment were different from the others. While the others' resolve to cultivate was strengthened by agreeing with Zhao Jinghong's words, Huaxia Jiu's resolve to become strong was even more firmly established, making his desire for power even stronger.

The heart of cultivation and the heart of strength are fundamentally different. The former is the premise of the latter, but it lacks sharpness, while the latter is the elevation of the former, extremely precious. One must have the heart of strength to possibly enter the ranks of the strong in the entire cultivation world.

"This first test has been passed by forty-seven people. You are now considered part of our Ziyu Sect, but there will be another selection test when we return to the sect, which will determine your status within the sect. Do not be arrogant," Zhao Jinghong said solemnly, his eyes flashing as he scanned the crowd.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!" The forty-seven people bowed and said almost simultaneously.

"Never mind. If ten of you can pass the next test and become inner disciples, it will be considered good. Find a place to sit, and we will set off immediately," Zhao Jinghong seemed to remember something, sighed a few times, and then gave instructions without wanting to say more.

Hearing this, everyone sat down on the spot.

Immediately, the mini purple spaceship in Zhao Jinghong's hand emitted a bright purple light, covering the entire purple spaceship in an instant.

The next moment, the purple spaceship let out a loud noise, instantly rising four or five hundred meters, and then flew towards the northwest.

With Zhao Jinghong's words, everyone closed their eyes and sat in meditation, both to maintain their peak state and to hope for some improvement in their strength. Although the Great Wu Empire and the Ziyu Sect are both located in the Western Continent of the Dao Soul Continent, the Western Continent is vast, and the journey would take more than a day or two even with the purple spaceship.

The purple spaceship was extremely fast, much faster than the wind travel technique, and even several times faster than ordinary flying techniques. In four or five days, they had already left the territory of the Great Wu Empire and continued to fly west into the wilderness.

After another half a month, the purple spaceship, after passing through countless cities and villages and several ranges of mountains, finally arrived over a vast and continuous mountain range. Then it slowed down and sped towards the depths.

Feeling the change in the spaceship's speed, everyone ended their meditation, opened their eyes, and looked around.

Wherever Huaxia Jiu's gaze fell, there were hundreds of miles of mountains, some high and some low, stretching endlessly, with a faint mist enveloping each mountain.

The spaceship moved slowly, and when it passed through what seemed to be ordinary space, it trembled slightly, and the space in front suddenly rippled like water.

Huaxia Jiu felt a blur before his eyes. When he came to, he found the scenery before him had completely changed. The purple spaceship had carried everyone into another world, causing many to exclaim in surprise.

Huaxia Jiu was also amazed, looking around in astonishment, his heart shaken.

All around were even more magnificent mountain ranges, with at least tens of thousands of mountains surrounding the central seven towering mountains that pierced the clouds. Hundreds of meters above these seven mountains, a smaller mountain peak floated in the air, shrouded in mist, exuding a divine aura.

The Ziyu Sect, ranked ninth on the Heavenly Destiny List, is located among tens of thousands of mountains in the Western Continent of the Dao Soul Continent. Its grand entrance and majestic presence are enough to awe ordinary cultivators.

On the purple spaceship, gasps of amazement echoed one after another. The forty-odd people, including Xian'er standing beside Zhao Jinghong, all had looks of shock and amazement.

Starting from this chapter, we enter the third volume. Some readers have commented that the pace is a bit slow. I will try to speed it up a bit based on the situation. Finally, I humbly request your support, votes, and reviews.
