Good.

Really good.

The moment Han Ye picked up the “Dao Heart Like a Rock”, he felt his heart still.

It’s often said that cultivators are calm and indifferent, capable of overlooking many worldly matters, not troubled by human nature. The higher the level of cultivation, the more they abandon human emotions and desires.

But in practice, this is a sort of severance.

Because if they don’t do this, they can’t truly let their Dao heart settle. In the long road of immortality, they can’t resist the Heart Demon.

In the cultivation world where years, even thousands, can pass in an instant, the greatest enemy is not others, but oneself.

In the expanse of a thousand years, won’t loneliness truly destroy a person?

Without being bound by human nature, although they hold no contentions with the world, many cultivators would do things worse than beasts in pursuit of the Tao of becoming immortal.

Therefore, upholding a Dao heart,

is precious and rare.

After obtaining “Dao Heart Like a Rock”, Han Ye eagerly checked his own panel.

’Name’: Han Ye

‘Cultivation’: Body Forging Realm (Fourth Layer Blood Marrow)

‘Destiny’: Accumulate Over Time

‘Owned Attributes’: Slightly Versed in Literature and Ink (White), Wei Wu Legacy (Green), Great Wealth and High Rank (Green), Dragon-Tiger Physique (Blue), Unparalleled Fist Intent (Blue), Dao Heart Like a Rock (Blue)

‘Slightly Versed in Literature and Ink (20/50): Exceptional understanding, unforgettable when heard.’

‘Great Wealth and High Rank (12/100): Wealth is rolling, business is booming, the wealth and nobility will change with fortune, money makes money, profit rolls onto profit.’

‘Wei Wu Legacy (0/100): Your charm is enough for all women to favor you with high goodwill; you are like a sweet rain falling on the parched land.’ ‘Dragon-Tiger Physique (407/500): Physical body extremely strong, far surpassing ordinary people, carrying the Dragon and Tiger Breath, unceasingly within the body, capable of easily lifting a thousand-pound cauldron.’ ‘Unparalleled Fist Intent (251/500): Your speed of practicing fist arts far exceeds that of ordinary people, proficient and wonderful, capable of comprehending the Fist Intent.’

‘Dao Heart Like a Rock (1/500): Dao Heart is firm, unshakeable, indestructible. Heart Demons find it extremely hard to erode your heart. The effect of illusions and confounding spells is reduced.’

Having picked up quite a lot of attributes, Han Ye feels most relieved about the ones with high frequency of triggering.

This Dao Heart Like a Rock in front of him seems to have a very high triggering frequency.

All Chu Xianyu has to do is simply sit there quietly cultivating, and he, Han Ye, can benefit from it.

Geniuses are indeed treasured from head to toe.

Originally, he was especially tempted by Chu Xianyu’s attribute related to swordsmanship, but it didn’t drop, which worried him a lot. After all, this attribute seemed very powerful at first glance.

Now it’s good, getting a “Dao Heart Like a Rock” is also not bad.

It is an attribute with a high initial level, so he does not have to slowly pick it up and gradually upgrade it.

Be aware that the more advanced the attribute, the harder it is to improve, because it requires more attribute points.

“Brother Han, what is this…?”

Wang Da Niu and the Head Elder of Internal Affairs were curious since they saw Han Ye standing next to Chu Xianyu, always staring at her.

Han Ye explained, “It’s like this. Seeing that Miss’s Single Spirit Root talent is hindered by her Dao heart, I was curious whether Chu Xianyu would have the same issue, so I came to have a look.”

Wang Da Niu immediately understood and laughed,

“Brother Han, you’re so thoughtful.”

Han Ye responded with a smile, but his eyes were always looking at the attributes dropping on the ground.

‘Pick up Attribute: Dao Heart Like a Rock+r

‘Pick up Attribute: Dao Heart Like a Rock+3’

He just squatted next to Chu Xianyu, continuously reaping advantages.

What’s that saying again?

It’s a pity not to shear the wool off a genius.

Meanwhile, Han Ye began to study Chu Xianyu’s appearance. He had always been very curious about why Chu Xianyu always wore a Douli Hat and veil. Could it be that she also has enemies?

She was too far away before, and he couldn’t see her at all.

Now that he was a little closer, he was able to make out some of her features.

She wore a white, waist-hugging plain skirt, with a few plum patterns embroidered on the collar, sitting gracefully on the ground, her fair and jade-like hands seemingly forming a seal, the small portion of her arm that was visible was white as snow.

Her closed eyes lightly twitched under the weight of her thick and long eyelashes, her red lips glistening and full, and her dazzling black hair cascaded over her shoulders.

Han Ye was taken aback, not expecting the face beneath the veil to be so captivating.

He inwardly commented,

She’s truly a favored daughter of heaven.

It’s said that she’s the only daughter of a cultivation family, meaning her parents are both powerful cultivators, or possibly descendants of some mysterious mighty power.

A true second generation immortal.

If that’s the case, why would she come to the Dragon Sparrow Sect instead of staying at home?

But Chu Xianyu indeed possesses a quality like an immortal, elusive and untainted by the dust of the world. Her temperament is so aloof and she always walks through the crowd without meeting anyone’s gaze.

She rarely speaks and prefers to be alone, giving off a cold aura that makes people feel she is thousands of miles away.

Just as Han Ye was carefully observing,

Little did he know, a pair of bright eyes like shining pearls had already pierced through the veil and were staring at his face.

Suddenly, Chu Xianyu’s body tilted slightly to avoid his gaze.

Huh…

How can it move?

Han Ye hadn’t reacted in that instant.

Not until he saw the pair of clear eyes beneath the white veil.

He took a step back.

Damn!

She had awakened!

“Miss Chu, I’m sorry!”

“I saw that you weren’t waking up, so I came to check on you!”

Han Ye quickly stood up and apologized embarrassedly.

He had assumed that Chu Xianyu would lose her temper, fly into a rage, at the very least, she would scold him and accuse him.

Although he hadn’t acted indecently, to scrutinize someone so closely was indeed rude. He would not recommend imitating him.

However, the situation he imagined did not occur.

Chu Xianyu simply picked up the emerald sword sheath on the ground, stood up, and walked towards the edge of the bamboo forest, leaving only a word.

“Doesn’t matter.”

At this, Han Ye became immediately respectful.

Indeed, she was a treasure… no, a fairy with a big heart.

Indifferent as expected.

Her tolerance was extraordinary, and her heart was as deep as the sea.

She was indeed from a family of cultivators.

With the passage of time, some people had woken up in the Purple Rhinoceros Bamboo Forest, but others were directly eliminated.

The standard mentioned by the Elder in charge of internal affairs was to awaken within half an hour and not be deceived by illusion.

With the addition of a time limit, the second round directly eliminated a large number of people. Many people directly followed their own desires.

Some coveted wealth, stealing gold and jewels.

Some yearned for power and got too deep into it to extricate themselves.

Some chose to have intimate relations with the pig demon of the Dao Residence. Their Yang energy was sucked dry, and when they woke up, they found they were eliminated.

The hardest illusion to overcome was one’s own heart demon.

More than half of the people who left after the second round were still complaining about Dragon Sparrow Sect’s test being too difficult, too hard for a normal person.

Purple Rhinoceros Bamboo Forest.

The Elder in charge of internal affairs watched coldly, observing those people who were constantly complaining about being eliminated. He interrupted them coldly:

“If you can’t pass this little test, how can you become disciples of my Dragon Sparrow Sect?”

“The dangers of demons are beyond your imagination. If you can’t even pass a mere illusion, even if you enter the sect, you will be devoured in the future and not even your bones will be left.”

“The path of immortality is full of thorns and dangers. You can’t turn back, nor can you give up, what do you think it is, child’s play?”

“The purer the person’s mind, the easier it is to pass this illusion. The greedier and lustful the person, the harder it is to pass this illusion. In the end, it is because your status brings too much desire, so you are deluded.”

After the Elder’s rant, the scene immediately fell silent.

Most of them came from prominent families in various prefectures, state officials, princesses, and princes. Who was not of high status?

Who dared to scold them like this usually?

Even if someone wanted to retort, they did not dare to speak.

But this test was considered difficult by some, while others found it simple.

“The second round was quite easy.”

On the way to the third round, Wang Da Niu said as he walked.

You don’t even need to fight.”

The others heard this and were stunned.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qichang was puzzled and said, “What? No need, that pig demon was quite tough to deal with. I almost got into some trouble with it. Luckily my sword intent was steady. I was a little late in realizing it and was almost led astray by that demon.”

Zhao Jin, the ironsmith, felt he was much smarter than the rest. He laughed and said, “That Dao Residence looks weird at first glance. I definitely had to be careful. At first, I was a bit dizzy, but when she started to undress, I somehow sobered up a bit. I attacked her from behind. It was much simpler, why confront her directly?”

Han Ye was surprised upon hearing this.

It turns out sneaking up was an option.

This approach won unanimous approval from everyone, who nodded in agreement:

“Very good, you are indeed smart.”

Most of them were born in the countryside, they had simple hearts. They were the ones who could extricate themselves from the illusion. Han Ye was somewhat inferior to them.

They were all joking and laughing along the way, but Liu Lingqi was burdened with worries. Although she had passed the round, she didn’t seem very happy.

While they were talking, they arrived at the foot of a lush mountain. The majestic mountains overlapped one after another, and looking up, they could see no end.

From time to time, there were piercing howls like a beast in the mountains.

The accompanying Elder introduced to hundreds of them through voice transmission:

“The third round is called Ascending Immortal Mountain. It tests stamina. All your cultivation will be sealed. You cannot use any external force, including magic treasures or talisman inscription. You can only use the strength of your physical body to climb to the top of the mountain. There is no time limit.”

“Those who reach the end will become outer disciples of my Dragon Sparrow Sect and officially embark on the path of cultivation.”
