The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

84. The Harsh Trial of the Heart

The trial of the heart, as the name suggests, is a test to temper the disciples’ mental fortitude. To become an accomplished cultivator, a strong heart is essential.

This trial was not announced in advance to the disciples. On one hand, it tested their ability to adjust their mindset without prior knowledge; on the other, it prevented any preparation that might induce panic.

The array of barriers set up for this trial was painstakingly constructed by the elders of the Xuán Yún Sect. The disciples passed through the barriers and entered the array. Soon after, the sect leaders and revered masters would perform a ritual, transporting the disciples’ consciousness into an illusory world—a reflection of their current state of mind.

The elders and masters could discern the disciples’ mental states and then came the test: to sow chaos in their illusory worlds, confronting them with the darker aspects of their psyche.

This was undoubtedly a cruel trial, one that could potentially leave lasting scars on the disciples.

Many choose to flee from the darkness within, unwilling to face it. But this trial would force them to confront it. Their mental worlds, perhaps currently serene grasslands, could in an instant transform into hellish realms, with everything they know turning to ash.

Should they watch helplessly as all that is beautiful vanishes, it remains to be seen whether their psyche can withstand the onslaught.

Though the trial is brutal, it serves to sift out the strong. Those who endure the trial of the heart demonstrate exceptional resilience, a quality befitting a distinguished cultivator.

Han Xianzi and the other esteemed masters each took charge of an area, freely choosing their vantage points to observe the disciples’ illusions.

As Lin Nuo entered the area and saw the array of barriers, he remembered what this trial entailed.

So, it was this kind of trial.

As a reborn individual, he should have known the process of this trial.

First, they would enter a fantasy realm based on their own state of mind, then these wretched old men would cast spells, tearing apart all that was beautiful, plunging them into hardship, facing their dark side with extremely cruel methods.

He remembered, in the past, he harbored the desire to be the protagonist, so when he entered the fantasy realm, he indeed became the protagonist, invincible in the world, adored by beauties from all walks of life, amassing a harem.

But then, it all disappeared, he was engulfed in a sea of fire, everything before vanished, everyone died, and he couldn’t save anyone.

It was terrifying, and he became reclusive for several days.

However, now that he thought about it, that scene seemed quite thrilling? Everyone was gone, and the sea of fire consumed everything.

Isn’t this the daily life of a great villain?

From noble mtl dot come

Lin Nuo looked around and noticed that among the followers were disciples of Master Cong Zhen, with the second disciple Xie Yu and Mu Yiting being the most eye-catching.

Mu Yiting also saw Lin Nuo and smiled, saying:

“Senior Brother Lin Nuo, hello.”

However, Lin Nuo didn’t respond to her, after all, that charming smile wasn’t her true nature, being cute and charming didn’t suit her.

He wished, however, that this woman would face him with her true self, as the daughter of a mafia family.

Seeing the aloof Lin Nuo not responding, Mu Yiting felt annoyed, but she couldn’t show it. After all, she was a popular and well-liked girl of the Xuan Yun Sect, how could she afford to lose her composure?

She was very good at disguising herself, but no matter what, she had to keep smiling, tolerating Lin Nuo.

She could also see what the revered elders of the Xuan Yun Sect were up to. If they saw her true state of mind, it would completely expose her identity.

And her family had foreseen this day coming, having already instructed her in secret methods to cope. She could fabricate a fantasy realm, one that matched her current feigned personality and background, a kind-hearted young girl from an ordinary family. Her fantasy realm would be a small town where people lived happily and contentedly.

Then, this small town would be destroyed, everything would disappear, and she would pretend to be utterly despairing, fooling them all.

She was now quite curious about Lin Nuo, what kind of fantasy realm would that man conjure, and when faced with a dark fantasy realm, how would he confront it?

She now wished to be one of the revered elders, just to get a good look at Lin Nuo’s fantasy realm.

As the disciples entered the barrier one by one, the revered elders began their incantations.

The consciousness of the disciples gradually entered their respective fantasy realms, each reflecting their own state of mind.

“The incantation is a success, everyone can now observe the disciples’ fantasy realms,” they said.

Under the sect leader’s command, the revered elders began observing the disciples’ fantasy realms. As expected, some soared in the blue sky, representing ambition, some were in the silent villages, representing tranquility, and some were lost in the streets, representing confusion.

Normal fantasy realms, some were calm as still water, some restless, some lost and searching, all representing their own state of mind.

Yes, everything was normal, until someone saw Lin’s fantasy realm…
