The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord
Chapter 108 Secret
After countless hardships, Mu Ya, Gu Yanqing, and the others finally reached the end of the ninety-nine steps. Here, the wind seemed to have stilled, leaving only the sound of their heavy breathing echoing in the quiet space. At the end of the steps was a wide platform, covered with traces of time, yet also exuding an inexplicable solemnity.
They all found a place to sit and began to rest. Muya gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, her eyes a mixture of fatigue and determination. The others were busy at work, some drinking water, others resting their eyes. The entire platform seemed like a temporary haven.
After a brief rest, their physical and mental strength had recovered considerably. Mu Ya stood up and looked toward the 100th step, her eyes gleaming with determination. She took a deep breath and said to the crowd, "Let's go! We must persevere no matter what." Hearing this, Gu Yanqing and the others also stood up, their eyes also gleaming with unyielding determination.
As they reached the 100th step, a strange force instantly enveloped them. The scene before them began to distort and shift, as if they had entered a whole new world. Here, clouds and mist swirled, and multicolored lights intertwined in the air, creating a series of dreamlike scenes. They felt as if they were in a vast fantasy world, where every step was filled with uncertainty and challenges.
The forms and types of fear within each person's heart vary greatly, and so the illusions they experience are also unique and full of individuality. Among this group are many independent cultivators, whose illusions are intricate and filled with a variety of challenges and dilemmas. Some are trapped in a hatred for revenge, unable to extricate themselves. Their hearts are filled with anger and pain, as if bound by an invisible force, unable to escape. Others are obsessed with the desire for rare treasures and various magical instruments. Their hearts are filled with greed and desire, as if driven by an invisible force and unable to stop.
As for the children of aristocratic families, they often face power struggles within their families, betrayal between siblings, and other plots comparable to the most dramatic works of literature, filled with complex human nature and intense conflict. The disciples of the sects also present a series of spectacular scenes, full of challenges and opportunities.
Among the group, Jingkong was the first to escape the illusion. His heart was as calm as water, and his unwavering Buddhist faith enabled him to see through the illusion. Standing on the 101st step, he glanced back and then continued on his journey, as if no difficulty could stop him.
Following closely behind was Muya, who knew her fears well. Under her master's careful guidance, she had conquered them. Facing this vision, she simply observed calmly, then took action to destroy the images that had once caused her pain. Glancing at the clear space ahead, she also began to climb the stairs, as if no obstacle could stop her.
Gu Yanqing, Miao Yimo, Gu Qingxiao, Tian Suanzi, and Tu Shansong, one after another, emerged from their illusions, continuing without pause to forge ahead. They had a single goal: to push their limits by ascending the Heavenly Path. They knew that only through constant challenge and effort could they truly surpass themselves and reach higher realms.
Deep within the Nine Netherworld, a mysterious water mirror quietly floated in the void, emitting a soft blue light, reflecting the most hidden illusions within the hearts of everyone on the Journey to Heaven. Ming and Ying Ni's gazes betrayed intense curiosity yet a hint of wariness, as they frequently glanced at the mirror. The surrounding leaders were enveloped in a solemn and complex atmosphere, as if each of them harbored a hidden secret.
Within the water mirror, images flow like flowing water, like vivid scrolls, revealing each person's past and inner demons. Some of these illusions depict magnificent landscapes, highlighting the owner's ambitions; others depict heartwarming family scenes, revealing boundless tenderness and longing. However, among these numerous illusions, some are shocking, even difficult to look at, as if silently revealing the darkness and ugliness within human nature.
Suddenly, a startled cry pierced the silence, and everyone's attention was instantly focused on a corner of the water mirror. Within the image, a young cultivator's vision revealed his secret collusion with hostile forces, attempting to betray his master. The elder of the cultivator's sect suddenly paled and trembled slightly. He was shaken by his disciple's vision, perhaps grateful to have discovered this betrayal so early. He immediately reported the matter to the sect leader and the elders.
"Hmph, the human heart is unpredictable. I never imagined such a treacherous individual would exist among my disciples!" the sect elder shouted angrily, his eyes gleaming coldly, clearly extremely dissatisfied with the young cultivator's illusion. His voice echoed in the depths of the Nine Netherworlds, as if warning everyone that the price of betrayal is heavy.
Ming and Ying Ni smiled at each other, a hint of amusement in their eyes. They knew full well that this road to heaven not only revealed the heart but also tested a person's will and loyalty. In such an environment, all hypocrisy and betrayal would be exposed, and everyone's true colors would be revealed.
As the images continue to unfold, more unspeakable truths are gradually revealed. In some illusions, greed and desire intertwine, with some willingly betraying their loved ones for power and wealth. In others, fear and despair abound, with some choosing to escape and give up when faced with adversity. These images, like mirrors, reflect the complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature, prompting us to ponder the forces that drive us to make such choices.
"Please swear a solemn oath here. Once you leave the core area of the Nine Netherworld, no one will reveal anything they have seen or heard to the outside world, unless it involves personal matters." Ming's tone became serious and firm. She knew that she had to cut off all potential obstacles here to ensure that these secrets would not only be leaked, but also lead to fatal consequences and unforeseen dangers. The other authorities present nodded in agreement. They also believed that a solemn oath was necessary. They knew that if these secrets were leaked, they would not only arouse curiosity and speculation, but also bring about fatal consequences and unforeseen dangers. Therefore, with Ming and Ying Ni as witnesses, everyone solemnly swore an oath, their faces filled with seriousness and determination. They knew that this was not just a formality, but a commitment to the future, a respect and protection for the Nine Netherworld.
