章 2575: 2777
**Chapter 2777: Occasionally Show Up to Get Acquainted**
After chatting for half a day, someone finally broke through the "illusion." Lu Fengyao suddenly opened her eyes, and the aura of a Dao Sovereign surged into the sky.
To her, the illusion was a test.
In the illusion, she experienced a battle she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Everything in the illusion was as real as the real world, and the battle was no different from one in the real world.
She was injured in the illusion, and the injuries were severe, almost fatal.
However, with her firm Dao heart, she persevered until the end and achieved final victory.
Lu Fengyao did not realize that as she persisted, her strength in the illusion kept increasing while her enemy's strength kept decreasing.
She only knew that she could not lose, absolutely could not lose.
Her Dao heart grew stronger, now as sharp as a sword.
Anyone who tried to shake her Dao heart would be hurt by this sword.
Strengthening the Dao heart was the reward for this round.
Cultivating one's realm is easy, but refining the Dao heart is difficult. There is no reward better than this.
Unfortunately, Lin Moyu did not have the fortune to enjoy this reward.
Xiahou Yuan said, "Fengyao's comprehension is quite good. In terms of pure aptitude, she surpasses even the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus."
Lin Moyu agreed with Xiahou Yuan's words and took the opportunity to flatter, "Senior is right. I believe Sister Fengyao's future achievements will be extraordinary. In the previous round, Lu Fengyao lost due to her realm. This round does not compare realms, so Lu Fengyao has made a comeback."
However, the final results were not yet out. In the previous test of inner demons, the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus still held some advantage.
Xiahou Yuan transmitted to Lu Fengyao, "Rest for a while and wait for the others."
Lu Fengyao acknowledged and looked up, just in time to see Lin Moyu.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she looked at Lin Moyu, as if asking, "Why are you up there?"
Lin Moyu responded with his eyes, indicating that it was Senior Xiahou who called him up.
Lu Fengyao retracted her gaze, seemingly accepting Lin Moyu's explanation.
Xiahou Yuan said, "It's almost time. They will wake up one by one, either succeeding or failing. This round of testing is over."
"Do you know what the next round will test?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Not quite sure."
Xiahou Yuan said, "After testing comprehension and Dao heart, the next round will naturally test actual combat."
"Your realm will be a disadvantage in the next round. You decide whether to participate."
"But even if you do participate, do not use the previous spell or the Immortal Golden Body."
"It's okay to lose. Sometimes, it's better to hide your strength."
"Some of those guys have very small minds."
Xiahou Yuan was not referring to the Dao Sovereigns in the array but to the old figures behind those Dao Sovereigns.
"If Lin Moyu performs too well, those old figures might take action. They have done such things before, carefully ensuring no one catches them."
"After all, prodigies are backed by powerful forces. It's not something anyone can mess with."
"But Lin Moyu seems to have no powerful force behind him, so they won't have any concerns."
Lin Moyu understood Xiahou Yuan's good intentions, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will keep it in mind."
His previous impressive performance was just to increase his bargaining chips with Xiahou Yuan.
Now that Xiahou Yuan had agreed to help with Lilian's matter, there was no need to continue performing so impressively.
Hiding one's strength is not a bad thing. It's like pulling back a fist before striking; it adds power.
"My performance in the previous two rounds is enough. I'll hold back in the next round."
"After this round, there will likely be another re-ranking. I wonder where I'll be placed."
"It probably won't be too bad but also not too good. After all, I'm just a Heavenly Sovereign, and realm is an important factor in ranking."
Lin Moyu returned to his seat, waiting for the round to end.
More and more prodigies broke through the illusion, with some succeeding and others failing.
Most of the top-ranked prodigies succeeded, even if the process wasn't perfect, proving their strong Dao hearts.
Those who failed simply had not refined their Dao hearts enough to activate the mechanisms set by Xiahou Yuan.
In Xiahou Yuan's eyes, there shouldn't have been any possibility of failure in this illusion test.
Excluding Lin Moyu, the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus was the second to break through the illusion after Lu Fengyao.
Seeing that Lu Fengyao had broken through the illusion before her, the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus showed a hint of disappointment and a strong competitive spirit.
As for Lin Moyu, she seemed to ignore him, no longer seeing him as a normal person.
Her gaze towards Lin Moyu was as if she were looking at a monster.
Lin Moyu thought to himself, "What kind of look is that?"
Besides the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus, the top ten ranked prodigies who noticed Lin Moyu's faster speed all looked at him similarly, basically treating him as a monster.
Xiahou Yuan transmitted to the Third Ancestor, "Third Ancestor, did you hear what I just said?"
The Third Ancestor's voice replied, "I heard everything. As I suspected, the beings he encountered were unimaginable."
"So you can imagine why he could encounter beings we dare not even think of meeting."
"Could there be some special reason?"
Xiahou Yuan was shocked, "You mean those beings are cultivating him?"
The Third Ancestor continued, "I sensed an ancient sword aura from him before."
"Later, through intelligence analysis, this sword aura likely came from the Jade Dao Sword of Yuchuang City in the Southern Continent."
"Over a hundred years ago, Yuchuang City experienced a significant disaster. An indescribable being descended, nearly flattening the entire city."
"Even the Jade Dao Sword, which had been intact for countless years, developed numerous cracks and almost shattered."
The more the Third Ancestor spoke, the more shocked Xiahou Yuan became. He smiled bitterly, "Third Ancestor, please stop scaring me. If you continue, my Dao heart might collapse."
The Third Ancestor laughed, "You've lived so long, how can you be so timid? Think about it. If those beings are cultivating him but don't intervene directly, what does that mean?"
Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment and murmured, "It means those beings don't want to interfere with his growth trajectory."
The Third Ancestor laughed heartily, "You're smart. The butcher indeed thinks that way."
"Clearly, those beings don't want to interfere too much, just occasionally showing up to get acquainted."
"So you know what to do now."
Xiahou Yuan nodded, "Understood. Thank you for the guidance, Third Ancestor."
The Third Ancestor laughed, "We've known each other for so many years; no need to be so polite."
"While you can still move freely, make the necessary preparations. Don't wait until, like me, you want to go out occasionally but have to consider this and that."
Xiahou Yuan remained silent for a long time, "Alright, I will prepare. I'll need your help when the time comes."
The Third Ancestor said, "If you need anything, find Lu Lian. She has everything."
