18: Are they all going to challenge Qin Tian?

"So the illusion for the entrance examination is actually this cool?"

Qin Tian looked at the illusion, which was surrounded by halos and possessed an extraordinary Aura, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Back then, he had entered Divine Firmament Peak directly and had never actually participated in any entrance examination.

After joining the sect, he had never paid any attention to the recruitment of new Disciples.

"What appears in the illusion are the truest desires in a person's heart, used to test their Dao Heart and character," Yun Xi explained softly.

"A pity we can't see what's happening inside..." Qin Tian said with some regret.

"The illusion is born from the heart; outsiders cannot peer into it. Forcing one's way in would affect one's sanity and damage their Foundation."

Qin Tian nodded.

Before long, surrounded by a white mist, Xiao Chen was the first to open his eyes.

In less than fifteen minutes, he had cleared the stage... "As expected..."

Qin Tian was not surprised.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he couldn't step in to cause trouble.

And without his intervention, Xiao Chen was almost certain to take first place.

This was the power of the Destiny Halo.

"To awaken from the illusion in just fifteen minutes—this child's Dao Heart is firm and truly extraordinary!"

Many Peak Revered Masters felt a sense of appreciation for his talent.

Immediately after, Yu Qianxun and Savage Ancient woke up one after another.

The top three were decided!

Qin Tian's gaze darkened, knowing that Xiao Chen would surely challenge him in a moment.

However, he didn't notice at all that when Yu Qianxun woke up, her gaze secretly landed on him, and a faint, almost imperceptible blush appeared on her cheeks.

Clearly, something incredible had happened within the illusion... "Ahhh!!!"

While some woke up, others naturally failed.

Those who failed would be consumed by the illusion, suffering the unbearable pain of Divine Thought devastation.

The Peak Master of Beixuan Peak waved his hand to wake those who had failed, but this also declared that they had all lost their eligibility to join the sect.

An hour passed, and very few were able to wake from the illusion on their own—only thirteen out of a thousand.

"Thirteen people have passed the assessment."

"The rest of you, descend the mountain on your own."

The Peak Master of Beixuan Peak spoke indifferently, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Those who failed left with faces full of disappointment and dejection; soon, only the thirteen who could join the sect remained.

"Congratulations on becoming the new Disciples of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect."

"Of the twelve peaks of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, all except the Hundred Herbs Medicine Peak, which is no longer recruiting, can be chosen."

"The four Great Mysterious Peaks of the East, West, South, and North excel in Body Refining;"

Ancient Sword Peak specializes in the Dao of the Sword;

Divine Firmament Peak, Qingzhi Peak, and Lingxiu Peak excel in Divine Ability techniques;

Dao Peak, Pill Cauldron Peak, and Heaven-Grade Weapon Peak specialize in Talisman Formations, the Dao of Alchemy, and the path of Artifact Refining, respectively..."

"You may choose now, or you may decide after visiting each peak."

"Xiao Chen, Yu Qianxun, Savage Ancient—the three of you were the first to awaken from the illusion. According to the rules of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, you may choose a Senior Brother or Senior Sister to spar with and verify your insights."

"Is it coming?"

Qin Tian had already prepared himself mentally.

However, what was a bit strange was...

Besides Xiao Chen, another gaze was actually cast his way.

Yu Qianxun looked at Qin Tian with a hint of curiosity, a bit of eagerness, and seemingly a bit of... shyness?

Qin Tian: "?"

"What does she mean? Does she know me?"

While he was completely baffled, Qin Tian suddenly heard two voices ring out simultaneously.

"I want to challenge a Disciple of Divine Firmament Peak!"

"I wish to spar with this Senior Brother from Divine Firmament Peak."

The Peak Revered Masters were all stunned.

Yun Xi's eyes darkened.

Seeing this, Savage Ancient scratched his head and said somewhat simple-mindedly, "Since you're both challenging this Senior Brother, then I'll challenge him too..."

Qin Tian: "???"

"What are you two joining in the fun for?"

"Ahem." The Peak Master of Beixuan Peak said with some embarrassment, "Martial Nephew Qin is a special case and is not among those who can be challenged. Choose someone else."

"He hasn't even entered the Dao yet; he's only in the Qi Nurturing Realm. He can't withstand even a single move from you." From the direction of Ancient Sword Peak, Jian Qi gave a contemptuous smile.

"Jian Qi, stop talking nonsense!"

Jian Wuhen scolded him sternly.

Yun Xi coldly swept a glance toward Ancient Sword Peak, her chilling Aura spreading.

The newly entered Disciples were all a bit surprised.

Hasn't entered the Dao yet?

One must know that it's impossible to pass the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect's assessment without a dao seed.

In other words, Qin Tian didn't join the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect through the normal channels... "So he's someone who used the back door..."

Xiao Chen muttered to himself, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Yu Qianxun was also a bit surprised, but she still spoke up: "I can choose not to use my dao seed and spar with Senior Brother using only Qi Nurturing Realm cultivation..."

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to have a lingering gaze... "Tian'er, do you know each other?" Yun Xi's face was expressionless, her voice extremely cold.

"To answer Revered Master, I do not know her."

Qin Tian was also wondering; this Yu Qianxun was fine at first, so why did she seem off after coming out of the illusion?

That gaze, with hearts in her eyes and unable to look away, was completely the look of a fangirl saying "I've fallen for you"... Qin Tian was even more confused.

He might be handsome, but he didn't think he was handsome to that extent, right?

The Peak Master of Beixuan Peak smiled knowingly, "Haha, youth is truly enviable."

"In that case, there's no harm in you two having a spar."

[Ding! son of destiny's hatred toward Host +999!]

[Ding! son of destiny's hatred toward Host +999!]

...Qin Tian was speechless, "Is this guy a psycho? Even this adds hatred? Does every good-looking woman have to be yours?"

"Revered Master, then I'll go...?"

Yun Xi nodded reluctantly, "Do not get too entangled."

She had already made up her mind that she would absolutely not let this Yu Qianxun enter Divine Firmament Peak!

Qin Tian stepped forward slowly and arrived in the center of the field, "Junior Sister Yu, please."

Yu Qianxun's face was flushed with shyness as she stepped forward gracefully.

Qin Tian was even more puzzled, "Junior Sister Yu, have we met before?"

"No... never met..."

If we've never met, then why the hell are you blushing!?

Qin Tian screamed in his heart.

"Senior Brother, what is your name... Can I add your Voice Transmission Imprint...?"

Everyone: "..."

[Ding! son of destiny's hatred toward Host +999!]

"My name is Qin Tian. As for the Voice Transmission Imprint... I don't use sound transmission jade much..."

Yu Qianxun was stunned.

She seemed to... have been rejected?

How could she be rejected?

How could she possibly be rejected?

Suddenly, a pair of beautifully curved rainbow wings unfurled behind Yu Qianxun's back, like colorful clouds, holy and very evocative.

"So... so beautiful..."

Everyone present couldn't help but marvel.

To the side, the well-informed Peak Revered Master of Pill Cauldron Peak, Chu Xiong Yi, stroked his beard and spoke with a beaming smile:

"Cloud Wings and Intertwined Branches—this is the unique courtship method of the Feather Tribe..."

"It seems Yu Qianxun has truly taken a liking to Martial Nephew Qin and wants to take him as her Imperial Consort..."

"Hahaha, interesting, truly interesting!"

Everyone: "???"

Qin Tian: "??????"

Yun Xi: "—!"

The Peak Master of Beixuan Peak looked at Qin Tian and smiled slightly, "What is thought and felt in the illusion are all omens of one's true heart. Presumably, something happened in the illusion that made her certain about you."

"Martial Nephew Qin, you're quite lucky with the ladies!"

Qin Tian opened his mouth, "Junior Martial Uncle, now is not the time for jokes. Look quickly, her state is very wrong!"

At this moment, Yu Qianxun's eyes were filled with hearts, her gaze blurred, and she seemed to have lost her reason... "Haha, this is an instinct engraved in the Feather Tribe's Bloodline. Once they meet a member of the opposite sex they can spend their life with, it will be completely triggered..."

"Martial Nephew Qin, don't panic, don't panic. You just need to subdue her..."

"However, if you can't beat her, you'll have a hard time maintaining your husbandly authority in the future... Hahahahaha..."

Qin Tian: "..."

No need to doubt, these Peak Revered Masters had absolutely no intention of intervening; they were just bored and purely wanted to watch the fun.

As for Yun Xi... "Hmph—!"

"System, how can I make her normal?"

[Host, plucking the rainbow feather from her chest can stop the heat.]

"Stop what?"

"System, don't use certain words so loosely!"

Qin Tian's eyes narrowed. At Yu Qianxun's chest, a feather surrounded by rainbow light was tightly attached, looking very mysterious.

"Although I don't know what exactly happened, you can't be allowed to mess up my plans."

"Sorry, Junior Sister Yu, I'll have to trouble you for a bit..."

...
