God Destroying Pearl

Chapter 16: Through the Road of Inquiry

After a thrilling trial, Song Yun and his companions finally enjoyed a short teleportation.

With a flash of light, they seemed to have traveled through a tunnel of time and space. That strange feeling seemed to instantly take away their fatigue and tension.

As the scene before them gradually became clearer, they found that they had left the trial field full of unknowns and dangers.

The moment they stepped out of the portal, they were shocked by the scene before them.

Outside the venue, there was a hustle and bustle of people.

It turned out that many people had already completed the trial in advance and gathered here.

They were either chatting in groups of three or five, or thinking alone, and everyone's face was filled with different emotions.

Song Yun and the others looked around curiously, trying to hear more information about the trial field from other people.

After some inquiries, they learned an astonishing fact: it turns out that everyone's experience in the trial field is different! Some people encountered ferocious monsters, some were trapped in a complex maze, and some experienced a test of their souls.

Moreover, the exit location found by each person was different, as if this trial field was a huge box, and each person was assigned to a different grid and encountered different things.

This discovery made Song Yun and the others sigh, a big sect is a big sect, the trial field is so magical.

As time went by, Song Yun saw many people coming out of the trial field.

Song Yun roughly counted and found that there were still more than a thousand people.

Those who failed to come out of the trial field may have been defeated by their inner fears, or they may have been eliminated by the cruelty of the trial.

Just then, an elder in a gray robe slowly walked to the center of the square.

His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could see through people's hearts.

He coughed softly, and the sound echoed in the empty square.

"After the trials in the trial field, we have witnessed the courage and perseverance of many people." The elder's voice was low and powerful. "However, the road of cultivation has never been an easy one. Today, more than 3,000 people failed the trial. They may be unwilling to accept it, but this is the cruelty of cultivation."

They knew that the elders’ words, though harsh, were true.

The path of cultivation is full of unknowns and dangers. Only those who are truly tenacious can make it to the end.

"Now, I want to congratulate those who are still in the square." The elder's voice suddenly became louder. "You have passed the first and second tests and are qualified to enter the third test."

Hearing this, Song Yun couldn't help but feel happy. He knew that he was one step closer to entering the sect.

"In the third stage, we will be tested on the path of self-examination." The elder continued, "There, you will face your own fears, desires, and obsessions. Only those who can truly defeat themselves can pass this stage."

"Everyone follow me." said the elder.

Following the elder's order, everyone in the square started to move.

Soon everyone arrived at a mysterious cave, and the whole atmosphere instantly became solemn.

The entrance of the cave is deep and dark, as if swallowing up all the light around it, giving people a feeling of oppression and fear.

Above the cave, three large characters “問心路” (Ask the Heart) are inscribed. The handwriting is simple and weathered, revealing an indescribable majesty.

"I didn't expect that the legendary road to self-examination is actually a cave." Song Yun was secretly surprised. He had never associated the road to self-examination with a cave before. Seeing this scene at this moment, he couldn't help but feel curious and nervous about the test that was about to unfold.

The entrance to the cave is not spacious, only enough for two people to pass side by side.

All examiners followed the elders' instructions and began to line up in an orderly manner to enter.

From time to time, whispers could be heard in the team. Some were discussing the mystery of the Road of Self-Searching, some were guessing about the situation inside the cave, but more people were silently adjusting their breathing, trying to calm their inner tension and anxiety.

Song Yun stood in the team, looking forward with a firm gaze.

He knew that the next two hours would be an important test in his cultivation.

He must face his inner fears, desires, and obsessions in order to successfully pass the journey of self-examination.

As the team continued to move forward, it was soon Song Yun's turn.

He took a deep breath, took firm steps, and walked into the dark cave.

When Song Yun stepped into the cave of the Road to Self-Reflection, a cold breath instantly enveloped him, as if to freeze his soul.

The faint light that appeared from time to time in the cave became his only source of light.

Inside the cave, the surrounding stone walls were slippery and cold, with water droplets dripping from time to time, making crisp echoes.

As Song Yun went deeper into the cave, he began to encounter various illusions.

Sometimes, he seemed to see a huge snake demon wriggling in front of him, spitting out its tongue and making strange hissing roars; sometimes, he seemed to be in a sea of ​​fire, with blazing flames and oppressive heat.

These illusions constantly challenged his psychological limits and made him uneasy, but Song Yun always remained calm and firm.

In addition to the illusions, strange noises could be heard from the cave from time to time.

Sometimes it is a low roar, as if a ferocious beast is lurking in the dark; sometimes it is a sharp laugh, as if an evil spirit is whispering in the ear.

These sounds made Song Yun feel creepy, but he knew that these were all part of the test and he had to overcome these fears.

Deep in the road of self-examination, Song Yun encountered an unprecedented test.

This road leading to the depths of the soul seems to have endless magic, unfolding his inner world one by one, revealing desires and obsessions that he has never noticed.

Among all these, what made Song Yun most excited and the most irresistible was the temptation of the supreme immortal law.

At a certain moment, Song Yun felt that the light in front of him suddenly became brighter. He walked closer and saw a throne made of light suspended in the air.

On the throne, an ancient book emitting golden light lies quietly. The words on the cover of the ancient book emit an alluring light, as if telling of endless power and mystery.

Song Yun knew that what was recorded in this ancient book was the legendary supreme immortal method.

This magic technique possesses extremely powerful strength. Once mastered, it can enable him to make rapid progress in a short period of time, and may even make him become one of the world's top masters.

Such temptation is irresistible for any practitioner.

However, Song Yun stopped.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He understood that although this temptation was powerful, there was a huge trap hidden behind it.

The path of spiritual practice requires being down-to-earth and making gradual progress. If one loses his original intention in pursuit of temporary power, he will only end up in destruction.

Song Yun closed his eyes and began to recall his path of cultivation.

He recalled his original intention in entering the world of cultivation, which was to pursue inner peace and wisdom, rather than for power and status.

He remembered the teachings of Uncle Liu, the owner of Shoubaoxuan, that one must persevere on the path of cultivation and not forget one's original intention.

Thinking of this, a resolute force surged in Song Yun's heart. He opened his eyes and looked at the throne and ancient books floating in the air, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He turned and left without looking back or lingering.

He knew that only by sticking to his heart could he go further.

Song Yun continued to move forward, and he felt his heart filled with peace and strength.

Finally, Song Yun saw the end of the road to self-examination.

There, a ray of sunshine shines down.

After exiting the cave, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease and relief, as if all his restraints and shackles had been removed.

Outside the cave entrance, an elder in a green robe and with white hair and beard was quietly waiting there.

His eyes were as deep as the sea, as if he could see through everything in the world, but at this moment they were filled with a hint of gentleness and approval.

He smiled, his eyes falling on Song Yun. That smile was like a spring breeze, bringing warmth to people's hearts.

The elder nodded slightly, his voice calm but powerful: "Congratulations, Song Yun, you are the first person to pass the road of self-examination. Your heart and will have shocked everyone."

When Song Yun heard this, he felt an indescribable excitement and pride in his heart.

He bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Thank you for the compliment, Elder. I just passed by luck."

The elder nodded and said, "Stand aside and wait for the people behind you."

He bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, Elder." Then he stepped aside and waited quietly for the other disciples to come out.
