After reporting to the Supreme Master, the Venerable Lord said there was something wrong with this fellow. He then forcefully increased the difficulty, wanting to drive him out of the Illusion Realm.

Only the Venerable Lord himself likely knew the reason for what happened next.

Unexpectedly, even after the Illusion Realm's intensity was increased, not only was this fellow not expelled, but he also managed to leave it?

And with eight Sha Crystals?

The four Elders were speechless, suddenly filled with curiosity.

Three of the Elders looked curiously at the Great Elder. Since only the Great Elder had reported the subsequent situation to the Venerable Lord, he was the one most likely to know what was going on.

"Don't look at me…" the Great Elder transmitted helplessly. "I'm not sure. The Venerable Lord ordered me to release the Yin Yang Extreme Evil, which is something we Divinity Transformation cultivators use for daily cultivation. It's strange that he could walk out… So many Sha Crystals… it's a bit outrageous."

"Isn't this too outrageous? Eight Evil Beasts! Is this guy an emotionless wooden puppet? Has his Taoist Heart become that steadfast?"

"It seems he's really not here for romantic destiny. I find this lad quite interesting. Considering our Fengyue Sect has so many female disciples, he's not interested in a single one?"

The Elders discussed amongst themselves via transmission.

The cultivators in the square also felt their scalps tingle.

"With so many Sha Crystals, if it were me, I'd give them directly to Gu Fairy…"

"Tsk, what do you all know? This is an indirect way to seek romantic destiny! As long as he pleases the Elders, why would he worry about not finding romantic destiny in the Fengyue Sect?"

"So strong! How did he slay them? Are those Evil Beasts really that easy to deal with?"

"This person's aura is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Where did such an outrageous Loose Cultivator come from?"

「Moonlight Hut.」

Two maids hurried into the hut, flew to the top floor, and reported to the Ghost Shadow about the ongoing romantic destiny event.

"Sister Gu, Sister Gu! Everyone has emerged from the Illusion Realm!"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Shadow fell silent for a moment, the image of that figure replaying in her mind.

"Who… who all came?"

"Lots of them… The renowned young Heavenly Prides from the Nine Provinces all came. Many of them were from the same era as you, Sister Gu," the two maids chattered. "Dao Xuan from the Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect, Chen Huang from the Ancient Desolation Sect, Mo Yuan from the Realm King Sect, and so on…"

"These people are incredible! Not only did they exit the Illusion Realm quickly, but they also managed to slay Evil Beasts. They truly are Heavenly Prides worthy of being your contemporaries."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Shadow sighed softly. After a moment of thought, she asked, "Are there any Sword Sect disciples?"

"Yes, there are, but they're mostly at the Foundation Establishment Realm. They were presumably sent by the Sword Sect specifically for training. The few at the Golden Core Realm also performed well, but they aren't here for romantic destiny either. They probably won't participate in the second trial."

"Is there any…" The Ghost Shadow paused, thinking for a moment before continuing, "particularly outstanding one?"

The two maids thought for a moment and said, "There is one. He's extremely impressive, even more so than the Heavenly Prides pursuing you. He obtained eight Sha Crystals! However, he said he wasn't here for romantic destiny, so he gifted the Sha Crystals directly to the Elders. He's quite remarkable."

The Ghost Shadow was stunned. "What realm is he at?"

"Foundation Establishment Realm."

"What's his name?"

"It seems to be something like Mu Hongxue. It's a bit strange; the name is somewhat similar to our Supreme Master, Mu Lanxue's."

"What does he look like?"

The two maids briefly described his appearance.

The Ghost Shadow pondered for a few seconds. A rare hint of joy, mixed with worry, flickered in her eyes.

Brother Wang, have you arrived?

If it is you, you must have used your Sword Sect's Thousand Illusion Twelve Transformations to alter your appearance. Why did you change your appearance to come here?

Are you afraid of Master?

"Perhaps… I'm overthinking it." The Ghost Shadow lowered her head and sighed softly.

On the Fengyue Sect plaza, after a moment of silence, all four Elders had accepted the two Sha Crystals each.

The offer had been made, and given his display of goodwill, they naturally couldn't decline.

It was unexpected. They hadn't imagined this young man could offer so many.

Wang Mu, seeing this, was quite satisfied.

Friendliness is something that, if you have the chance to improve it, you shouldn't miss out on.

Compared to the other little demonesses of the Fengyue Sect, these four Elders are the real figures of authority.

If Mu Hongyuan really plans to make a move against me, perhaps these four Elders could put in a good word for me. Even if it's not very effective, I might be able to learn some things from them in the future.

"Everyone, the next trial is the Refining Emotion Cave," the Great Elder coughed and announced. "If you can pass this trial, you can essentially establish romantic destiny with a disciple of our Fengyue Sect. This place is a special Cave Heaven Blessed Land belonging to our Sect."

"Years ago, after a great change in heaven and earth, a stream of Demon Poisonous Qi descended upon this place, transforming the surrounding area into a vast Cave."

"The Evil Qi within was exceptionally malevolent, but it was later suppressed by the predecessors of our Fengyue Sect. This allowed it to form the special Power of Love Evil, transforming this place into a Cave Heaven Blessed Land."

"The so-called 'Refining Emotion' means to temper a cultivator's Six Desires and Seven Emotions. And a cultivator's Six Desires and Seven Emotions are all products of their various experiences."

The Great Elder's expression turned serious. "This trial is crucial for seeking romantic destiny! In the Refining Emotion Cave, because Evil Qi has persisted there for a long time, the moment you enter, the Power of Love Evil within the Cave will immediately cause you to undergo a unique experience."

"If you successfully navigate this experience, it means you can have a happy and wonderful future with the disciple you choose—or at least, it will not be a poor one."

"If you haven't chosen a disciple from our Fengyue Sect and are merely here for training, then the Power of Love Evil will instead stimulate your Taoist Heart and magnify your Heart Demon. This experience will be extremely difficult."
