The overall structure of Lingxiao Hall is rectangular, with the position of the master sitting on the thirty-three steps facing north and south.
There is an open space of about two feet under the steps, and a Tai Chi pattern composed of black and white is engraved on the ground of this open space.
There are more than thirty tables on the east and west sides of the corridors. This is the seat of the True Lord Yuanshen. Originally there were only a few people here, but now it has increased to thirty-three.
It is foreseeable that after this trial is over, more than a dozen regulations will be added.
From this alone, we can see that the strength of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ is growing rapidly.
After the seat of True Lord Yuanshen are the leaders of various ministries and other core members of the sect.
At this moment, nearly thirty True Lords of the Yuanshen gathered together, including True Lord Fenghua of the ‘Jiangmen Sect’ who joined the sect two years ago, Li Jinhu of the ‘Fulong Mountain’ and others.
In addition, there are more than 200 Jindan real people who are in charge of various ministries and hold important positions.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the Tai Chi diagram in the center of the main hall.
The handle is integrated, three feet long, and looks like an ordinary wooden stick suspended three feet above the ground.
There are seven completely restricted innate Dao patterns around the wooden staff that glow slightly with purple light.
A circle of lavender halo spreads from the top of the stick to the surroundings like breathing, but the interval between each breath is a full minute.
Each time this halo shrinks and expands, a different scene will appear.
Zhang Keduan sat on the steps and controlled the [Reincarnation Staff] to cast 'Dream Realm'.
Without this treasure, even the Tao Lord would not be able to pull all the hundreds of thousands of trialists into the 'Dream Realm'.
The halo was manifesting in the trial hall of Yu Tingzhang and others at this time. Everyone in the hall could clearly see the trialists composed of the halo.
What is quite strange is that a very light purple mist curls up from the top of each trialist's head.
Thousands of people emitted so much mist that it formed a smoke-like scene above their heads.
What this scene shows is Yu Tingzhang and others fighting against the swarm of insects in the "Dream Realm".
Everyone in the Lingxiao Palace looked at this scene with great shock, feeling as if the thousands of people in the trial hall had their souls left their bodies and entered the same dream, forming a world.
Watching thousands of people fighting without any knowledge in the 'Dream Realm'.
Li Jinhu and the twenty-odd Yuanshen True Monarchs who had recently joined the sect were all secretly horrified beyond measure.
There are many masters among them who are good at illusions, and they are well aware of the difficulty of constructing an illusion.
Illusion has three levels. The first is 'knowledge of illusion', that is, the subject knows that he or she is under illusion, but does not know how to break it.
The second is "not knowing the illusion", which refers to someone who is not aware of the illusion being cast on them, but if they have doubts, they can realize that the illusion is on them.
The third level is also the highest level of "true illusion". From illusion to reality, from reality to change, true illusion only occurs in one thought.
This is what is meant by the saying that one thought arises and all things arise.
Taoism goes straight to the point: "Tao generates one, which generates two, two generates three, and three generates all things." In fact, there is no shortage of this meaning.
Now Zhang Ke's 'Dream Realm' has not yet reached the third level, but it has surpassed the second level of 'Ignorance of Illusion'.
Thousands of people in the "Dream Realm" will not believe it even if you tell them that they are in an illusion.
This is why Yu Tingzhang used his own pain to test where he was after leaving the "Dream Realm".
Because they can no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality.
But it's not easy to do this, you must know that these thousands of people condense their minds and bodies to manifest in the illusion.
Everyone's magical powers, including facial expressions, language, movements, and the externally constructed environment, are so complex that it is extremely incredible to be able to manifest all of this without any flaws.
In addition, the human heart is unpredictable and unpredictable, and it is even more difficult for everyone to express their true feelings.
The more proficient people are in illusion, the more they understand how unnatural this method is.
To put it bluntly, it would be extremely frightening if Zhang Ke really reached the third level.
At this moment, they will be like Yu Tingzhang and others, not knowing whether they are in a dream or awake.
Just like a ‘matryoshka doll’, you will always be trapped in an endless cycle without realizing it.
However, Zhang Ke's real illusion level cannot reach this point. It is entirely because of the powerful amplification ability of the third-grade innate spiritual treasure [Reincarnation Staff] that he can complete the construction of the 'Dream Realm'.
The main reason why Zhang Ke was able to trap the eighty-eight Zerg leaders in the illusion was because of this treasure.
At this moment, two worms were manifesting in the dense purple mist, leading a dozen giant centipedes and a boundless sea of worms to attack the camp on the hill.
Seeing the various performances of each trialist at this critical moment of life and death, many True Lords of the Soul could not help but secretly nod.
Although there are some Nan Sect disciples who do not perform well, who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and panic and make mistakes, their flaws cannot be concealed. The performance of most Nan Sect disciples has far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Whether it was the overall coordination or the emergency response to various emergencies, everyone in the palace was very satisfied.
Li Jinhu stroked his beard and praised:
"I didn't expect that our disciples performed so well in the illusion. It really opened my eyes."
True Lord Jiuren smiled "hehe".
“Establish correct concepts from an early age, broaden your horizons with rich knowledge, and restrain your behavior with strict precepts.
These disciples can be cultivated through generations of words and deeds.
Firm belief and sense of responsibility are the main reasons why they will never be defeated. This is the result of our two hundred years of popular education."
Zhenjun Fenghua and others also nodded. The advantages of the 'Innate Yiqi Southern Sect' that have been cultivated for two hundred years have now begun to show their prowess from all aspects.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the rapid growth of all aspects, the overall strength of Nanzong will probably develop faster and faster.
Long Guanzhi looked at the transformed scene in the purple mist and suddenly said:
"I observe that there are many disciples of our sect in that illusion whose behavior is despicable and dirty. Their performance is not even as good as ordinary casual cultivators. I wonder what the sect is going to do with these disciples?"
He was originally a casual cultivator in Jizhou. He was proficient in the two realms of water and fire. He had extraordinary encounters in his life. He achieved Yuan Shen at the age of three hundred and is now in the Five Qi Realm.
Long Guanzhi and 'Fu Longshan' Li Jinhu were close friends, and they joined the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' together at Li Jinhu's invitation two years ago.
The reason why he was willing to join was because he was frightened during the war with the Void Zerg.
As a casual cultivator, being able to survive in that battle that was like a millstone of flesh and blood depended three points on strength and seven points on luck.
In addition, he was also optimistic about the development momentum of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong'. After understanding the ethos of the Nanzong, he resolutely joined the Nanzong together with Li Jinhu.
These two are the main reasons why the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ was able to recruit so many True Lords of Yuanshen at once.
Long Guanzhi's question at this time was actually a question in the minds of many other True Lords of Yuanshen.
It's just that they have only joined Yiqi Nanzong for a short period of time, and the two sides are still in the running-in period, so there are some things that are difficult to say directly.
And what Long Guanzhi was talking about was not just the illusion he saw at the moment. With the expansion and contraction of the purple halo, there were nine such illusions that were changing alternately.
In every illusion, there are many Nan Sect disciples who show extremely bad character, some of whom even the many Yuanshen True Lords present can't look down upon.
Long Guanzhi's inquiry also wanted to see how the Yiqi South Sect dealt with these disciples.
Bi Luo was dressed in a black robe and sat at the forefront of the seat of the soul. She was the commander of the 'Wind Catching Platform' and was in charge of the sect's punishment. She had always handled such matters.
After hearing Long Guanzhi's words, Bi Luo's beautiful eyes stared at a few people in the illusion manifested by the mist. Among them was Gong Shaocheng who framed Luo Jiujiang in order to escape for his life.
"Junior Brother Long, in your opinion, how should these disciples be dealt with?"
If we only talk about age and cultivation, Bi Luo is not as good as Long Guanzhi, but the order of entry into the sect has always been used to determine the moral order.
Therefore, the True Monarchs of Yuanshen who joined the sect two years ago, regardless of their age, can only be called according to the time they entered.
Long Guanzhi pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"The actions of these disciples have violated the sect's precepts and should be punished accordingly!"
Some of the other True Lords of Yuanshen agreed in their hearts, some shook their heads in opposition, and some quietly observed in secret.
This is the disadvantage of outsiders joining the sect. They cannot integrate their thoughts into one place in a short period of time.
Bi Luo turned her head slightly, and scanned the faces of many Yuanshen Lords with her eyes, and understood most of their thoughts.
He immediately spoke:
"I think they have not violated the sect's precepts and should be punished inappropriately!"
Long Guanzhi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:
"Bi Luo...Senior Sister Bi Luo must have seen it. These disciples have committed many evil deeds such as intentional killing, murderousness, plotting against fellow disciples, etc. If they are not punished, how will they be able to control others in the future?"
Let a veteran Yuanshen Lord who is nearly a thousand years old call a junior who is less than 400 years old as senior sister, especially a casual cultivator like Long Guanzhi.
He has never been in a sect in his life, and has never been called this, which makes him a little embarrassed.
Bi Luo smiled slightly and explained:
"Everyone also knows that these trialists are in an illusion, which means that their actions at the moment do not actually cause substantial harm to anyone.
It's like we hate someone in our hearts and cut them to pieces in our imaginations, but as long as we don't take action, we can't be judged as intentional murderers.
The same is true for these disciples. They are like in a dream now. Although they do show many despicable behaviors, we cannot convict them before they have actually harmed others.
Sexual immorality is the first of all evils. No one is perfect in the world.
Filial piety is the first of all good deeds, and there is no filial son in a poor family."
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but nod. After all, the illusion is an illusion. Even if in reality, these disciples will indeed do such evil things, they can only be punished after they actually do it.
Then Bi Luo continued:
"However, there is indeed a problem with the character of these people. I suggest that I send out disciples to prevent and control them, so as not to cause harm to other disciples.
But after all, they are disciples of our sect, just like our children.
Since there are signs of doing bad things, they must be strictly monitored and educated.
If you can truly realize your mistakes and repent, we, as elders, should not be too demanding.
After all, in a life-or-death situation, sometimes it is inevitable that you will do something wrong out of your desire to survive.
What we have to do is to guide them closer to the correct concepts and give them a chance to redeem themselves.
Of course, if there are those disciples who do not repent and have indeed violated the precepts, they should be severely punished and should not be tolerated, so as not to encourage unhealthy tendencies.
in addition..."
Bi Luo thought for a moment and continued:
"Most of these disciples' actions in the illusion have probably been known to their fellow disciples, and they must all be extremely anxious at the moment.
But since they have done some things in the illusion, they must bear certain consequences.
But as the core members of the sect, we can spread the sect’s attitude towards this matter and reduce the pressure on these disciples.
I wonder if everyone thinks this is a safe approach?"
Long Guanzhi couldn't help but look at Bi Luo with admiration.
It has been two years since he joined the Yiqi South Sect. Through various channels, he knew that True Lord Biluo was by no means a soft-hearted person.
She was responsible for the previous internal purges of Yiqi Nan Sect. In the eyes of all the disciples, Biluo Zhenjun was second only to the Great Demon King Zhang Ke.
Although he personally believed that the behavior of these disciples had touched his bottom line, Zhenjun Biluo was right in saying something.
Illusions are illusions after all, and you cannot punish them for doing evil in dreams.
But this is fine. A person holding a sword can treat every disciple calmly and fairly without taking action easily. This is definitely a good thing.
After some discussion, everyone in the palace decided to deal with it according to Bi Luo's method.
After Zhenjun Fenghua waited for the sound of conversation to subside, he looked at Zhang Ke on the steps.
"Master, from this illusion trial, I discovered some shortcomings of our disciples."
Zhang Ke has been quietly listening to other people's discussions and looking at Bi Luo in a daze.
In his impression, Bi Luo has always been like a little junior sister. He always felt that she was still young and needed to be taken care of all the time.
Seeing her talking rationally and well-founded at this moment, I suddenly realized that the junior sister was already able to take charge of her own affairs.
While I was sighing, I suddenly heard the words of True Monarch Fenghua, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Junior Brother Fenghua, please speak!"
Although this was not the first time, Zhenjun Fenghua always felt awkward every time he heard Zhang Ke address him as his junior brother in an arrogant manner.
"Ahem!"
True Lord Fenghua coughed twice.
“Our ‘Ruyi Shuttle’ attack is fast, has a large range, is powerful, and has a long range. It has a great advantage in the battle between monks in the Xiantian realm.
Because of these reasons, almost all Xiantian realm disciples in our sect are using this magical weapon.
However, precisely because of this, the disciples relied too much on the power of magical weapons and neglected the practice of magic.
If there is a future war with the enemy and the ‘Ruyisuo’ is restrained or unable to function, the consequences will be disastrous.”
