Unlike the other two tests, where he had to wander through forests and deserts to complete the tasks, this ti Ye Yang found himself inside a black space.
Many other participants were seated there like him, so ditating while others looked as confused as he did.
An unseen voice, booming with authority, reverberated through the void. "This is the ntal Trial," it declared.
"To succeed, you must endure the excruciating ntal tornt that will inevitably arise during your cultivation. The longer you persevere, the greater your chances of victory beco. Furthermore, so among you may even achieve enlightennt and grasp an Immortal Technique."
Suddenly, a blinding light illuminated the space, bathing him and the other participants in its glow. Like the others, Ye Yang assud the lotus position, closing his eyes to begin his cultivation.
For a brief mont, a sense of tranquillity enveloped him. However, this serenity was short-lived, as soon he began to experience a low ntal pain.
An imnse pressure bore down on him, as if a high-level cultivator, perhaps even an immortal, was directly exerting their cultivation pressure. Yet, he felt no physical discomfort. Instead, a searing ntal anguish intensified with each passing second.
Thirty minutes later, many participants began vomiting blood, while others collapsed unconscious. They vanished from the dark space, disqualified from the trial.
Ye Yang gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his brow despite the lack of physical exertion. The ntal anguish was like a thousand needles piercing his mind, each prick a fresh wave of agony.
He could hear the groans and cries of his fellow participants, their ntal fortitude crumbling under the imnse pressure. One by one, they vanished from the space, their bodies disappearing into nothingness.
Ye Yang, however, refused to yield. He rembered his struggles, emphasizing the importance of ntal fortitude in cultivation.
He drew upon his inner strength, channelling his willpower to resist the onslaught of pain. He imagined himself as a towering mountain, unyielding to the raging storm.
The pressure continued to intensify, pushing him to his limits. His vision blurred, and the world around him seed to distort and warp. Despair threatened to consu him, whispering doubts and urging him to surrender. But Ye Yang pushed back, drawing upon the mories of his family, his friends, and his dreams. He vowed to overco this trial, to prove his worthiness.
As ti passed, the number of participants dwindled. The groans and cries subsided, replaced by an eerie silence. Ye Yang, now alone in the blinding light, felt a surge of adrenaline. He was the last one standing.
The pressure reached its peak, threatening to shatter his mind. But just as he thought he could endure no more, the pain began to subside. The blinding light softened, revealing a serene landscape – a tranquil garden filled with blooming flowers and a gentle breeze.
Within this serene environnt, Ye Yang felt a profound sense of peace. He felt connected to the universe, to the very essence of existence. A surge of energy coursed through his body, awakening a dormant power within him. He had achieved enlightennt.
The unseen voice bood once more, "Congratulations, child. You have passed the ntal Trial. As a reward, you have been granted the 'Immortal Mind Technique".
A stream of information, vast and complex, flowed into Ye Yang's mind. It contained the secrets of cultivating an immortal mind, a mind that could transcend the limitations of ti and space, a mind that could withstand any adversity.
Ye Yang felt a surge of exhilaration. He had not only survived the trial, but he had also achieved enlightennt and learned an immortal cultivation technique.
Your journey continues on empire
He erged from the black space, his eyes shining with newfound strength and determination. Then without giving a thought, he jumped into fourth portal for his next trial.
"Welco to the Strength Trial. The imposing mountain before you stand as your challenge. Break it down until its peak falls below your own stature, and you shall have passed the exam."
"Be warned: There is no ti limit, but those who fail to accomplish this feat within thirty days will be deed failures."
The next Trial was vastly different from its predecessor. The elder's voice bood through the space as Ye Yang found himself standing before a colossal boulder, dwarfing him in size.
Ye Yang stared at the imnse rock, its surface smooth and unyielding. He felt a surge of doubt. How could he possibly shatter sothing so massive? He flexed his muscles, feeling a surge of energy coursing through his veins.
He took a deep breath, focusing his Qi into his fists. With a roar, he unleashed a powerful punch, striking the boulder with all his might.
The impact sent a jolt of pain through his arm, but the boulder remained unfazed. He tried again, and again, but the rock remained stubbornly intact.
Frustration began to gnaw at him. He felt his energy dwindling, his resolve weakening. The elder's voice echoed in his mind, a constant reminder of the impending failure. "20 days remaining," the voice announced, each word a hamr blow to his morale.
Ye Yang refused to give up. He rembered the words of his father, "True strength lies not just in brute force, but in the harmony of body and mind." He closed his eyes, seeking inner peace, focusing on the flow of Qi within his body. He visualized the boulder shattering, piece by piece, crumbling under the force of his will.
He reopened his eyes, a new resolve burning within him. He channelled his Qi, not just into his fists, but into his entire body.
He felt a sense of oneness with the surrounding energy, drawing strength from the very essence of the world. With a thunderous shout, he unleashed a devastating blow, not just with his fists, but with his entire being.
The boulder shuddered, then cracked. A series of fissures spread across its surface, growing deeper and wider until, with a deafening roar, it shattered into a thousand pieces.
Dust and debris rained down around Ye Yang, montarily obscuring his vision. When the dust settled, he stood amidst a pile of rubble, his body trembling with exertion, but his spirit soaring.
The elder's voice bood once more, "Congratulations, child. You have passed the Trial of Strength. Your perseverance and determination have impressed even this old one."
Ye Yang bowed his head in respect, a sense of accomplishnt washing over him. He had faced a seemingly insurmountable challenge and erged victorious.
As he stepped through the shimring portal, one of the seven Elders, hovering serenely in the air, addressed him. "Young one," the Elder began, his voice resonant with surrounding, "what is your na? You have truly impressed us all with your remarkable performance."
"Having passed seven out of the four trials, you are not only eligible to join our esteed family, but you also possess the rare privilege of selecting one of us as your esteed master."
Another Elder spoke, his fiery eyes fixed on Ye Yang intently. "You need not undergo the remaining Trials," he declared, his gaze sweeping over Ye Yang, who was still focused on the three remaining trials.
"Ye Yang bowed respectfully. "I am Ye Yang, and I wish to continue the trials," he declared, "Thank you for your faith in ."
One of the Elders spoke, "If this is indeed your wish, you may proceed. However, be forewarned: the remaining four trials will prove far more arduous and challenging than those you have already faced."
Ye Yang bowed and jumped into the portal.
For so seconds, he failed to open his eyes, but when he opened them, he couldn't help but feel powerless because he had beco an infant, and the woman was stuffing her nipple, oozing with milk, into his mouth.
He tried to close his mouth but failed to do so, and the next second, he tasted the milk of the woman who was looking at him with motherly love.
For a mont, he saw his mother Yu i in the woman, but then a voice reverberated in his mind, "This is the Trial of Life. To pass this, you have to live a life without any regret until you die. If at the ti of death, you will have any regret, then you have to start it again from the beginning."
The Trial of Life was unlike any he had faced before. It wasn't about physical strength or ntal fortitude, but about the very essence of existence – living a life without regret.
Ye Yang, now an infant, gazed into the eyes of the woman who held him, a woman who, for this mont, was his mother.
Years passed in a blur. He grew into a curious child, exploring the world with wonder.
He learned to walk, to talk, to read, to write. He made friends, experienced joys and sorrows, and learned valuable lessons from every encounter. He cherished his family, his friends, and the beauty of the world around him.
One day, when he was 19, he fell in love with the woman of high society, the daughter of the Nobel family, while he was just a commoner.
In the cultivation world, where lineage and bloodline determined one's destiny, their love was a forbidden bloom. Elara, heiress to the esteed Noble Family, possessed a powerful Ice Spirit, a coveted gift in a world dominated by Fire Cultivators.
They t once in an Inn where Ye Yang fought with so rogue cultivators who wanted him to hand over his seat and pay for their al. But instead of paying for them, he beat them and chased them out of the Inn.
