When Jun entered the Kun Peng Palace it was like he was suddenly pushed off a cliff and was slowly falling to his death because of how sudden everything was.
He was only given a brief explanation of this test. Simply, if he didn’t assimilate with the Kun Peng Spirit he failed, only after would the old man tell him anything.
As the white pillar crashed down on him, Jun felt like his entire body was being flayed. But it wasn’t compared to what his soul was going through.
It was like someone was taking a pointed branding iron and carving out the vague image of a Kun Peng onto it.
For three hours this went on, but he didn’t give up. He was told there was a simpler way than it being branded on his soul, but the way how the old man phrased it, it sounded like the alternative would result in him gaining a pile of shit compared to this method.
So he stuck it out as painful as it was. Only at the four-hour mark did something happen.
