However, how could these two energies merge so easily?

No matter how Wang Mu circulated them, they merely coursed throughout his body but showed no sign of merging...

Why can't they merge?

Is it impossible to cultivate even with action points?

Wang Mu pondered deeply.

Having action points meant he could indeed cultivate successfully.

So, if it's not working, does that mean there are certain conditions I'm clearly capable of meeting but haven't?

Action points allowed one to cultivate in the most perfect state, but they didn't control one's mind...

Not long after, after trying for a while, Wang Mu opened his eyes, a hint of doubt surfacing.

This Cultivation Technique is a bit strange... the Yin and Yang Qi just can't merge...

Wang Mu fell into deep thought. Forget it. If I can't cultivate now, I should leave this Illusion Realm first and find Mu Hongyuan. I'll have her release Brother Qin.

Thinking this, he started walking forward.

Within the Illusion Realm, he couldn't see other Cultivators. It wasn't that they weren't there, but that they were hidden by the Illusion Realm.

He could only sense himself.

This internal part of the Illusion Realm was like a semi-ethereal space, with no ground or sky, only a bizarre and hazy expanse formed by the Yin and Yang Two Evil Spirits. When these spirits entered a Cultivator's body and stirred their inner fire, the surrounding space would immediately change, exerting great temptation on the Cultivator.

Regrettably, for Wang Mu, who had perfected his cultivation of the Great Yin Yang Joyful Map and possessed the Seven Emotions Sword Heart, this had no effect whatsoever.

He moved swiftly, and in less than an Hour, he could almost see the exit. However...

「Fengyue Valley, the grand hall.」

By this time, the grand hall was already a lively scene, filled with the cheerful chattering of women.

Above the hall, numerous ripple-like circles of light appeared, so many they were dazzling to behold.

The numerous disciples of the Fengyue Sect, however, watched with great interest.

What appeared in those circles of light were, naturally, the scenes of countless Cultivators who had entered the Illusion Realm.

"Hee hee, that little Taoist from the Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect has a rather shaky Taoist Heart, doesn't he? He hasn't walked for long and is already struggling?"

"Tsk, blushing and flustered. Those flirtatious monks from Shenle Temple also want to cross the Yin Yang Illusion Realm? They must have a death wish."

"The body Cultivators from the Great Wilderness are more impressive; each one is robust and looks very resilient. Whether the Cultivators of the Ancient Desolation Sect have firm Taoist Hearts or not, at least they truly let go and started fighting the Evil Beasts directly..."

"And those remnants of the Joyful Union Sect from Li State? Trying to challenge our Fengyue Sect with such meager skills? So effeminate, clearly lacking real substance and not a decent sort at all. Tsk, predictably, he couldn't handle it. The moment the Yin and Yang Two Evil Spirits entered his body, his true form was exposed!"

"They say a hundred years ago, when our sect was seeking those with fated connections, that batch of Cultivators couldn't get out of the Illusion Realm at all, making complete fools of themselves. Our Fengyue Sect Elders were somewhat merciful back then and let those fellows go. However, those scoundrels then intentionally slandered our Fengyue Sect, claiming we had seduced them! Pah!"

"...So many handsome young men. Sadly, most of them don't have very firm Taoist Hearts."

"We still need to observe those Cultivators who came specifically for Senior Sister Gu: Dao Xuan from the Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect, Chen Huang from the Ancient Desolation Sect, Mo Yuan from the Xilu Realm King Sect, and Yu Tianshu from the Tianji Sect. Most of these are Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators with very firm Taoist Hearts. All of them were easily captivated by Senior Sister Gu... Sadly, their aptitude still doesn't measure up to Senior Sister's."

"Eh, at Senior Sister Gu's age, among her peers, there are truly few who can compare."

"..."

The numerous Little Demon Girls of the Fengyue Sect chirped and discussed animatedly.

The four Elders on the grand hall's upper platform, meanwhile, were intently scanning every scene unfolding within the Illusion Realm with their Divine Sense.

This trial was mainly to eliminate the majority of Cultivators who were just there for the excitement.

If they couldn't even get through the Illusion Realm, they weren't worthy of being with the disciples of the Fengyue Sect.

The Fengyue Sect had five Elders, as close as sisters, all Great Cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Realm. They were disciples of the Supreme Master and the current leaders of this generation of the Fengyue Sect.

In terms of appearance, they all looked to be in their forties, women of charming allure and exceptional beauty.

Four of them had Taoist couples; the fifth Elder's Taoist couple had even been specifically lured away from Heavenly Sword Peak...

Only the Great Elder had no Taoist couple. She was also the oldest and most powerful, at the peak of Divinity Transformation.

Thus, the Fengyue Sect, while predominantly female, also had male Cultivators. Most of these men had married into the Fengyue Sect as Guest Elders and did not reside within the sect grounds but in other places.

There were also a few female disciples who had married outside the sect.

And those who married out were also exceptionally talented, scattered across the Nine Provinces Cultivation World.

These married-out female disciples were mostly with partners of divine romantic destiny. Their partners were usually high-level sect members or well-known Loose Cultivators from overseas, possessing highly distinguished status.

So, in terms of cultivating their influence, the hidden power of the Fengyue Sect in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World was absolutely among the very top.

It far surpassed the Sword Sect.

Since the founding of the Fengyue Sect, it had almost never encountered any attack from the Demon Sect.

In terms of methods and power, the Supreme Master of the Fengyue Sect far surpassed that old rival from the Sword Sect.

Certain busybodies in the Cultivation World once calculated this. If a real fight broke out, the Fengyue Sect's influence is so widespread that if it recalled its disciples, it would involve over a hundred sect forces. The Sword Sect alone would probably be unable to withstand such power.

At that moment, the four Elders scanned the scenes one by one.

"Oh? Great Elder, I think I saw a Cultivator who seems a bit odd..."
