Free Web NovelEveryone knows that it is difficult to cultivate a path of ruthlessness.
As their realm and cultivation level increase, cultivators of the Ruthless Path almost completely sever their seven emotions and six desires.
This does not mean that they do not have emotions and desires.
Rather, the conditions for its activation are extremely demanding.
Ironically, the fastest way for a ruthless cultivator to improve is precisely by refining "emotion".
Therefore, the later a cultivator of the Ruthless Path progresses, the slower their cultivation level becomes.
Lu Ze's "Going to the Moon Realm" stirred up a great deal of emotion in Guo Yunfeng in a short period of time.
If it is not refined in a short period of time, it is actually a very dangerous thing.
However, with the triggering of the hidden ending in the second playthrough, "Going to the Moon Realm" brings Guo Yunfeng two opposite extreme emotions.
Amidst the clash of two extreme emotions, Guo Yunfeng successfully found a breakthrough opportunity and advanced to the mid-stage of the Refinement Realm.
"Indeed... heroes emerge from among the young."
Guo Yunfeng sighed, then walked up to Lu Ze and bowed deeply, completely disregarding her pride.
The fact that a powerful cultivator at the Refinement Realm was bowing so deeply to a Nascent Soul cultivator drew gasps of astonishment from those behind him.
"I will bring this 'Go to the Moon Realm' back to the Ruthless Sect, so that all the disciples of the sect will admire and respect it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ze was overjoyed.
That's great news!
Disciples who cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness have much higher emotional values than ordinary cultivators.
It gives you free magic points!
"Thank you for your approval, Elder Guo. So, does Elder Guo think I have won this proposition?"
Lu Ze suppressed his emotions and asked with a smile.
"That's natural."
Guo Yunfeng nodded, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"The way I wept was so convincing, with so many cultivators watching. It couldn't be faked."
After saying that, she looked back at her residence.
Her breakthrough was so spectacular that no one noticed that another person in Xianyun Manor had also broken through.
That is Liu Mengli, the Holy Maiden of the Ruthless Sect.
She must be crying her eyes out in her room right now.
Guo Yunfeng came here by invitation to obtain the 【Red Dust Tear Crystal】 for Liu Mengli to use in her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.
At this moment, thanks to Lu Ze's illusion, Liu Mengli had already broken through ahead of schedule, so she naturally no longer needed the Illusion Alliance's transaction.
Of course, even if Liu Mengli didn't make a breakthrough, Guo Yunfeng's tears in front of everyone are an indisputable fact that cannot be denied.
After thinking it over, she cleared her throat.
The cold voice echoed throughout the entire shore of Xianyun Lake.
"The third proposition, Lu Zesheng."
These words, though anticipated by the cultivators, still sparked a great deal of discussion among them.
"Win all three questions... a complete victory!"
"Too powerful. Especially this third proposition... Who would have thought that the Supreme Elder of the Ruthless Sect would shed tears for a mere illusion?"
"The first question wasn't easy either! When it came to Old Demon Lu, there were absolutely no choices, only dead ends... He even managed to fight his way out of that!"
"Alas, it's Old Demon Lu's turn to win! Any one of the three propositions is a dead end... Any one of the three illusions is top-notch! If Old Demon Lu doesn't win, who can?"
"I just don't know whether the Illusion Alliance will accept it or not..."
"How can I not acknowledge it? There's absolutely no dispute about Old Demon Lu taking those three points!"
...
The crowd whispered among themselves.
Lu Ze was also curious whether the Illusion Alliance would deliver on its promise regarding the rewards.
He knew very well that the other party was holding this exchange meeting in an attempt to lure him in with the Void Soul Crystal.
From the perspective of the question's premise, the opponent never intended for him to win.
This third proposition is something that no one could possibly answer.
He exchanged glances with Nangong Yuan.
The two immediately understood each other, and with forced smiles, they went straight to 【Rakshasa】's side.
"Elder Rakshasa, congratulations! It's truly a blessing for your Illusion Alliance that our Lingxiao Sect disciple has taken first place!"
"Oh dear, my rebellious disciple said he came all this way to add some prestige to your Illusion Alliance's competition... Hehe, hehehe..."
"Elder Nangong, what did your disciple want again?"
"It seems to be a Void Soul Crystal. Could it be out of stock suddenly? No way!"
As they spoke, they subtly released their auras.
【Rakshasa】 stared at the two of them with wide eyes.
Chao Wendao once obtained a wisp of luck within the illusionary realm, and mastered the final divine lightning of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, making him the number one cultivator below the Integration Realm.
Even if he were arrogant, he wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Chaowendao.
'It's alright, give it to him.'
Just as tensions were about to rise, 【Rakshasa】 heard 【Heart Demon's】 voice transmission in 【Rakshasa's】 ear.
The next moment, a strange, transparent crystal appeared in his hand.
"You two elders are too kind. How could our Illusion Alliance go back on its promise?"
Despite her deep reluctance, 【Rakshasa】 could only grit her teeth and smile as she handed the Taixu Soul Crystal to Lu Ze, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
"This Fantasy Alliance exchange meeting..."
"The ultimate winner is Lu Ze!"
...
...
Three hours later.
Xianyun Villa, a floating pavilion.
"Alliance Leader, are we just going to give him this Void Soul Crystal like that?"
【Rakshasa】 looked at 【Inner Demon】 with resentment and asked.
"Given the current situation, the foundation of the Illusion Alliance is unstable. Promises made cannot be reneged on, otherwise, they will easily suffer backlash."
【Inner Demon】 looked out the window, seemingly quite indifferent to the matter of the reward.
The exchange meeting was ostensibly for recruiting talented individuals, and failing to deliver the promised rewards to Lu Ze would be a loss of popular support.
It will likely be difficult to recruit talented cultivators in the future, let alone contend with Lu Ze.
"Besides, don't forget what I said..."
"With Lu Ze's cultivation aptitude, if he tries to refine the Void Soul Crystal, he will only harm himself."
【Inner Demon】 said with absolute certainty.
As the only contemporary cultivator who has refined the Taixu Soul Crystal, he is very clear about its power.
Even with his talent, he could only refine one-third of the Void Soul Crystal.
If he absorbs even a fraction more, his divine sense will likely be overwhelmed.
And what about Lu Ze?
As everyone knows, Lu Ze was a complete useless person before he came into contact with the illusion!
If it weren't for the fortunate encounter with the Heavenly Dao, allowing me to enter the Dao through illusion, I don't know where I'd be making my fortune right now.
No matter how good his talent in illusion is, it cannot hide the fact that he is mediocre in terms of his own aptitude and talent.
With such talent, if they dare to covet the Void Soul Crystal, there will only be one outcome!
At best, it severely damages one's consciousness; at worst, it destroys both one's soul and spirit!
So what if we lose a Void Soul Crystal?
With Lu Ze, our biggest rival, eliminated, even if we lose another one, it's acceptable!
"Congratulations, Alliance Leader! It seems that the future path of our Illusion Alliance is about to be completely swept away!"
The four elders looked at each other, and then understood the reasoning behind it, and quickly offered their compliments.
【Inner Demon】 slowly and deliberately took out a huge illusion tower from the void.
The "749" logo is clearly engraved on it.
This illusion tower is the core purpose of his spending money to hold this exchange meeting.
"Next..."
"Follow me, and I will once again activate the Great Array of the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth."
"We must uncover the secrets of Lu Ze's illusions this time!"
