After breaking off the engagement, my aloof fiancée regretted it

"Yanran! Don't!" Ye Tianming's eyes were red with anger and he roared, trying to stop it, but it was too late.

"Puchi!" The sound of the sharp blade entering the flesh was particularly harsh in the silent hall.

The bright red blood instantly dyed Yu Yanran's snow-white dress red and also stung Ye Tianming's eyes.

"Yanran!" Ye Tianming rushed over and hugged Yu Yanran who was slowly falling down, feeling heartbroken.

Yu Yanran's face was as pale as paper, but there was a sad smile on the corner of her mouth.

She stretched out her trembling hand and gently stroked Ye Tianming's cheek, her voice as weak as a mosquito.

"Brother Tianming, don't... don't be sad. Yanran... Yanran doesn't regret it... I can... I can die for you. Yanran... Yanran is very happy..."

"No! Yanran, you can't die! You can't leave me alone! Yanran..." Ye Tianming hugged Yu Yanran tightly, tears streaming down his face, heartbroken.

The Stone Emperor was also stunned by the sudden scene before him.

He never thought that Yu Yanran would choose to commit suicide for Ye Tianming!

"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"

Shi Huang came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the eunuch to summon the imperial physician to save Yu Yanran, but it was too late.

Yu Yanran's hands fell weakly, her eyes slowly closed, her breath gradually became weaker, and finally, she stopped breathing.

"Yanran! Yanran!" Ye Tianming screamed in pain, his voice full of despair and grief. He held Yu Yanran's cold body, as if he had lost the whole world.

Shi Huang stood there blankly, watching the scene in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He never imagined that the two of them would give up their entire lives for love.

It took Shi Huang a long time to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath and suppressed the grief in his heart. He looked at Ye Tianming and said in a hoarse voice: "Ye Tianming, go..."

"Let's go?" Ye Tianming raised his head and looked at Shi Huang with cold eyes, "Your Majesty, is this your gift to me? Is this what you told Yanran?"

Facing Ye Tianming's hateful gaze, Shi Huang could not say anything, but a hint of fear rose in his eyes.

“Hahahaha…” Ye Tianming suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky, his laughter filled with sadness and despair.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! From now on, I, Ye Tianming, will sever all ties with you! From now on, I, Ye Tianming, will guard the border and never return to the court. I will never see you again, whether in this life or in this life!"

After saying that, Ye Tianming held Yu Yanran's body and left the Golden Palace without looking back, leaving behind only a desolate back figure. In the empty palace, he looked particularly lonely and desolate...

The tears in Ye Tianming's eyes had not yet dried, but he suddenly woke up.

He looked around. Where was the Golden Palace? Where was Yu Yanran's body?

He was in a secret room, surrounded by cold stone walls. There was only a dim oil lamp emitting a faint light, illuminating the mottled traces all around, making it look eerie and strange.

"What...what's going on?"

Ye Tianming was shocked and confused. The tragic scenes just now seemed so real to him at this moment, so real that he could even feel the pain in his heart.

"Congratulations, young man, you have passed the first level of the test."

An old voice sounded out of nowhere, with a hint of praise, "You are not lost in love, hate, greed and anger, not bad, not bad!"

Ye Tianming's heart shuddered. The voice seemed to come from all directions. It was illusory, but it carried an invisible pressure.

He took a deep breath, and all the memories in his mind came back to life.

"It turned out to be an illusion!"

All the tests I had experienced before are still vivid in my mind, like a dream.

"Senior, did I really pass this time?"

The Kunpeng inheritance test is indeed formidable.

In just a short moment, he felt as if he was in another world.

Layer upon layer of illusions, each one is so difficult.

Now that I think about it, no matter which level of test it was, if I hadn’t maintained a stable mind, I probably wouldn’t have returned to this secret room.

"Yes, congratulations on passing the first test! Greed, desire, love, inner demons, these are the tests that people who practice Taoism need to face, and they are also where the heart of Taoism lies."

The voice said calmly, "Only by passing these tests can you truly have the qualifications to step onto the pinnacle of cultivation and become a powerful person in this world in the future."

Ye Tianming remained silent, but agreed in his heart.

But even though he had passed the first test, the turmoil in his heart was still difficult to calm down.

Those tests seemed to have really happened, and even though they were considered the emperor's favorites, they did not notice it at all.

The person who can create such a realistic illusion is truly amazing!

"Okay, you go back to the main hall and wait." The old voice sounded again, but with unquestionable majesty.

Before Ye Tianming could ask a question, the surrounding scene began to ripple like water waves. The cold stone walls, the dim oil lamps, the mottled traces, everything was distorted, dissipated, and finally returned to nothingness.

When everything settled down, Ye Tianming found himself back in the empty hall he first entered.

On the huge bronze pillars, there are carvings of ancient mythical beasts of various shapes, which are lifelike, as if they would come alive in the next second and let out earth-shaking roars.

The high dome is dotted with countless luminous pearls, emitting a soft light that illuminates the entire hall like daylight.

The center of the hall still exuded a mysterious and powerful aura. However, the geniuses who had originally come in together were now sparsely present.

Except for Su Yichen and Lan Xinyao, no one else came back.

"It seems that they are still struggling in the illusion." Ye Tianming said in his heart.

When Su Yichen saw Ye Tianming actually standing in the center of the hall, a hint of disbelief flashed across his deep eyes, then disappeared, replaced by a hint of gloom.

Lan Xinyao opened her beautiful eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed across her clear eyes.

Obviously he was surprised that Ye Tianming could pass the test so quickly.

However, she just looked at Ye Tianming deeply, then withdrew her gaze and continued to close her eyes to rest.

Ye Tianming looked at the two people with their eyes closed, and simply walked to a corner and sat down cross-legged.

The illusions he had experienced before, although only lasted for a short moment, had exhausted him mentally. Especially the last level, the heart-wrenching pain and the unforgettable despair, even now when he recalled it, he still felt palpitations.

"This Kunpeng inheritance is indeed not so easy to obtain." Ye Tianming sighed in his heart.

He knew that this first test was just the beginning. The real challenge was still to come.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the hall was still silent. Suddenly, another figure appeared...
