There was no struggle.
Shen Ye sat motionless, silently weaving stories in his mind, and the Heart Demon happily entered the story, becoming a part of it.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
When his thoughts ceased, so did the story, and the Heart Demon vanished.
Had he passed the trial?
Shen Ye waited a few more breaths, and suddenly unprecedented strength burst forth from his body, naturally forming into the Fla Spirit Divine Light, soaring into the void, resonantly calling to the Dharma Realm.
In the midst of obscurity—
It seed that his Dharma Aspect had undergone so subtle, imperceptible change.
Once this transformation had begun, it would not stop; it would silently continue until one day—
The complete transformation of the Dharma Aspect was achieved.
By then, Shen Ye had naturally mastered the art of Dharma Aspect Transformation.
—That was the milestone of the Eightfold Dharmakaya!
It followed logically, naturally!
It just required a bit of ti…
Shen Ye quietly felt the changes in his body and soul, and suddenly realized that in the obscurity, he had developed a new sensitivity.
After passing the trial—
He could suddenly sense the Heart Demon again.
It was a peculiar sensation, like an observer, he could "see" what the Heart Demon was doing.
—Above the ocean, there was a sailboat.
The Heart Demon was with a few girls, sailing the winds and cutting through the waves, thoroughly enjoying itself.
It possessed the sa strength as him.
And it was also cultivating!
Shen Ye contemplated for a few breaths, and indeed retracted his perception, then stood up from his mat.
Never mind the Heart Demon.
Sleep was impossible today.
There was much to deal with.
But the sect was entirely overshadowed by the Supre Binding Life Refining Soul Palace, which ant every move he made was under scrutiny.
Go!
He must find a way to leave the sect!
Originally when he entered the sect, he had received various types of Spirit Stones and Elixirs, as well as so jade slips that taught the basic knowledge of the sect.
Now, taking them out, Shen Ye had an idea.
—If he wanted to leave the sect, either he could go to the Council Hall to submit a request to return ho, obtaining approval from the elders, and naturally he could leave.
But Shen Ye had only been in the sect for a few days, how could he already be going ho?
That would seem very strange.
Tiptoeing out of his dwelling, Shen Ye leaped toward another mountain peak.
There was another way—
To accept a sect mission, descend the mountain for training, exorcize demons, protect the path, seek treasures, and explore mysteries!
Shen Ye landed at the sect affairs office, and from afar, he saw a Taoist sitting on a stone platform outside the office, touching a jade slip, muttering words to himself.
This face was familiar.
It was the Guide Taoist who had previously led him to the Mysterious Gate.
He seed to be called—
Dao Zhengyi.
"Dao Senior Brother, I greet you." Shen Ye bowed with his hands clasped.
"I heard you're practicing the Supre Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture, how co you have ti to visit the affairs office?" Dao Zhengyi asked.
"I've made so progress and would like to descend the mountain for so experience, to test my Mana." Shen Ye said.
In front of the Supre Binding Life Refining Soul Palace, he pulled out a handful of Spirit Stones.
"Ah, you don't need so many—"
Dao Zhengyi promptly tried to decline.
"Senior Brother, please take them. This is my sincere gratitude, truly." Shen Ye forcefully placed them in his hand.
"You—You are really too honest! Ah!"
Dao Zhengyi accepted the Spirit Stones, gesturing for him to co sit beside him.
Shen Ye then moved to sit beside him.
The two sat side by side, waiting a few breaths, and Shen Ye still saw no sign of him speaking.
"Don't rush, practice your Cultivation Technique first."
Dao Zhengyi transmitted his voice.
Shen Ye thought about it and actually began practicing his Cultivation Technique.
About more than an hour passed.
Dao Zhengyi suddenly spoke:
"That's enough."
"Enough?" Shen Ye asked in surprise.
He involuntarily looked up at the sky, only to see several bright spots erging in the deep blue sky, heading toward that grand hall above.
"The Sect Leader, Supre Elder are all entertaining distinguished guests, they have no ti to attend to these matters—this is our opportunity."
"Follow !"
He stood up, leading Shen Ye into the affairs office.
On the screen inside the office, there appeared rows of small characters emitting a dark green glow.
Each row of characters represented a mission.
Shen Ye, dazzled by the options, couldn't help but ask:
"Dao Senior Brother, which mission do you think suits ?"
"Today's missions were just released not long ago, but I do know a few good ones." Dao Zhengyi scrutinized Shen Ye.
After receiving the Spirit Stones, he began to seriously consider which mission would suit Shen Ye.
"With Law Realm Seventh Layer strength, don't take those large-scale monster extermination missions because there are many participants and you won't get many benefits."
"Small team missions and individual missions, which do you prefer?"
"Senior Brother, I'd like to complete a mission alone, preferably without disturbances." Shen Ye bowed his hands.
"What about the rewards? Have you seen any mission rewards you're interested in?" Dao Zhengyi asked.
"None—That doesn't matter, I just want to test my new Cultivation Technique." Shen Ye said.
"Let think..."
Dao Zhengyi pondered for a while, then pointed his finger at a row of glowing characters on the screen.
"This mission suits you."
Shen Ye focused and saw that it was a mission described in just a few words.
"A patrol cultivator for Panlong Town?" he said.
"Exactly, Panlong Town is on the border of the Demon Abyss. The nearby universes all send people there, and before venturing further into the Demon Abyss, they temporarily stay in Panlong Town."
"As a patrol cultivator in that town, you can interact with various sects, broaden your horizons, and also test your Cultivation Technique in the shallower parts of the Demon Abyss." Dao Zhengyi said.
"How long will this mission take?" Shen Ye hesitated.
"One week." Dao Zhengyi said.
This duration was quite ample, enough for him to practice and also enough for him to complete the later trials in the ruins!
"I'll take this mission!" Shen Ye said.
"Don't rush, the grand cultivator in charge of the affairs office won't easily approve a newcor going out, but I have so influence, stay here while I go talk to him, then you can accept the mission."
