Who asked him to cultivate immortality!

"My ax!" Meng Jingzhou shouted in the illusion, wanting to go down and get the ax.

The river spirit held up three axes and appeared on the river.

"Young child, you..."

thump--

Before He Ling could finish speaking, he saw Meng Jingzhou take a plunge and jump into the river with a splash, making bubbles bigger than him.

what's the situation?

He Ling was stunned. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

The gurgling bubbles gradually became fewer and fewer until they disappeared. The river surface was eerily calm. Only the breath of the river spirit sent out ripples under the feet.

"Why is there no movement? He won't be drowned, right?" He Ling muttered. He was not too worried about Meng Jingzhou really being drowned. This is an illusion and no one can be drowned.

Before He Ling could figure out what Meng Jingzhou wanted to do, another change occurred!

The ripples on the river became more frequent, and He Ling frowned slightly. He controlled his power very well, and it shouldn't be caused by his own aura.

He reacted: "It's the kid who jumped into the river just now!"

I saw traces of golden aura mixed in the stream, and the water vapor on the river exuded a fairy-like atmosphere, as if some great terror was gestating at the bottom of the river!

The unknown horror makes people’s hearts palpitate!

There were three fountains gushing out on the river, rising higher and higher, splashing light golden water mist, filling the entire river surface, making He Ling unable to see what was happening for a while.

The wind blowing from nowhere blew away the light golden mist.

Three figures appeared, all of them looked like Meng Jingzhou, but their aura was earth-shaking compared to before.

He Ling trembled, that was an instinctive reaction from the depths of his soul!

Ordinary Meng Jingzhou, immortal cultivator Meng Jingzhou, and...immortal Meng Jingzhou!

This is the original rule of the illusion: if anything falls into the river, it will undergo three changes: mortal, spiritual, and immortal.

"Bring it to you." The three Meng Jingzhous said in unison and took away their own axes.

With the immortal Meng Jingzhou around, He Ling had no power to fight back and was left to his own devices.

Immortal Meng Jingzhou got the immortal weapon Sky-Opening Ax, immortal cultivator Meng Jingzhou got the spiritual weapon Mountain-Opening Ax, mortal Meng Jingzhou faked the power of tiger and took advantage of He Ling's failure to react and got the old axe.

With three axes in hand, the illusion was shattered and Meng Jingzhou passed the level.

Those who pass the second level will temporarily fall into coma. This is the body's self-protection mechanism.

…

Everyone in the Taoist Sect looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou who passed the second level and remained silent for a long time.

Where is the honest person you promised?

Yunzhi was silent. She had a premonition that if she recruited these two people into the Taoist Sect, the Taoist Sect would never have peace.

Hope the hunch is wrong.

The real river spirit appeared, holding two gold and silver axes, and rushed towards Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou menacingly.

As the guardian spirit of Taoist sect, he has never suffered such shame and humiliation.

"Don't stop me. I will teach these two little bastards a lesson today. I will cut off their hands and feet and then put them back together!"

Upon seeing this, the Taoist disciples quickly stopped the angry He Ling.

"Senior He Ling can't cut him!"

"Senior He Ling, calm down."

"Something happened to someone who participated in the test. If word spreads about it, our Taoist sect's reputation will be tarnished!"

In the end, Dai Bufan stepped forward to stop the angry He Ling.

"Senior He Ling, don't worry. The third test was designed by me, Dai Bufan, and it will definitely teach these two people a lesson."

Seeing Dai Bufan vowing to himself, He Ling finally gave up.

The third test is the final question. There are two plans. One is proposed by Yunzhi, which is relatively mild. The other is proposed by Dai Bufan, which is a bit cruel and can test the Taoist heart. After everyone voted, it was decided unanimously. Choose Yunzhi’s plan.

Yunzhi's plan was too mild, and there would be no punishment even if it failed. If he wanted to calm He Ling's anger, he could only choose Dai Bufan's plan.

Yunzhi didn't have any objections to this.

It's good to let these two little guys suffer.

The second level screened out a large number of people. Faced with the temptation of the three axes, many people followed their inner desires and deceived He Ling into dropping the Sky-Opening Ax and the Mountain-Opening Ax.

Those who were screened out and left the illusion complained that the second level of Taoism was too difficult.

However, not everyone complains that the second level is too difficult. For example, those who pass the second level do not complain.

…

"The second level is quite easy." Mangu said, "Just tell the truth."

Everyone who was waiting for the third level nodded, as Man Gu said.

"What? Didn't you ask us to jump into the river and snatch the ax from the river spirit?" Meng Jingzhou shouted, why did others do it differently?

Lu Yang rolled his eyes at Meng Jingzhou and thought he was really stupid: "If the river spirit is not an illusion but a real existence, wouldn't you just have provoked the river spirit?"

"You should be like me and ask for the axes from the river spirit and throw them into the river. In this way, all three axes will be counted as ours."

Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized: "You are still smart."

Everyone silently looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou who were summarizing their experience, and began to wonder if their method of clearing the level was wrong?

Mangu nodded lightly. He remembered his father saying that the ancient barbarians almost perished precisely because they were arrogant and ignorant. As future generations, we must overcome this shortcoming and learn from others with an open mind.

Man Gu felt that he had found someone to learn from.

While everyone was discussing the correct way to clear the level, Yunzhi, Dai Bufan and other Taoist disciples appeared.

There was a smile on Dai Bufan's lips. He turned his palm and a palm-sized mountain appeared. The mountain grew in the wind, and in just a few breaths, it grew to a height of a hundred feet.

Everyone exclaimed in low voices, this skill is rare among immortal cultivators.

The trees on the mountain are dense and lush, just like a real mountain. There are long climbing stairs on one side of the mountain leading directly to the top of the mountain.

"This object is called Wenxin Mountain. It is a strange object that I asked the elders to refine. On Wenxin Mountain, all immortals and mortals are equal. What you have to do is to climb Wenxin Mountain. The higher you climb, the stronger your determination."

"Climb to fifty steps and you can pass."

Someone raised a question: "But in this case, wouldn't Barbarian Bones have the advantage?"

The fifteen-year-old Man Gu has the physique of a twenty-five-six-year-old, and is a head taller than others. He does have an advantage when climbing. He can take two steps ahead of others with one step.

Dai Bufan smiled and said: "Don't worry about this problem. Wenxin Mountain will bring everyone's physical fitness to the same level. No matter whether they are mortals or immortal cultivators, they will become mortals in my Wenxin Mountain."

"Is there a time limit?" someone else asked.

"No."

Everyone was delighted, there was no time limit, didn't it mean that we could keep trying? Why worry about not being able to pass the third level?

Could it be that this third level is just a formality?

"Can I use a magic weapon?" They have a special magic weapon given by the clan, which can be used without spiritual energy. It is a great weapon.

Dai Bufan smiled a little gloatingly: "Okay."

If the magic weapon can still be used.
