"Lin Qingcheng, 40 points!" The final score was announced.
Lin Qingcheng jumped down from the stage in a cheery mood. Her hands hurt too much after so many attacks so she chose not to attempt the fifth statue. She probably would have been able to move it but she was already first place in that test anyway.
"Qingcheng! Great job!" Chen Wentian said as he gave her a warm hug.
"Mmm!" Lin Qingcheng buried her face into his chest and smiled in happiness.
Zhou Ziyun and Wu Qianyu also gathered around to congratulate her.
The rest of the first test passed without much fanfare and the final scores were announced. The Beast God Sanctum was the overall first place while Glacier Palace, Divine Blazing Mountain, and the Tower of Swords were very close together fighting for the next three places. By averaging out her two scores, Lin Qingcheng managed to get 5th place, which was not a bad result at all. Chen Wentian felt that since this lower group competition had so many bad rules for his sect, he didn't really care if he could win this event. In any case, spiritual crystals were something he could find by putting in a little effort. All he wanted was for his disciples to gain some good experience for their future cultivation.
He was very happy with the evolution of Lin Qingcheng's special ability. Unlike the other immortals, he could tell what she was doing because he personally made the inscription for the new vibrator. Otherwise, it would be hard to pinpoint exactly what was going on. Her mind sever skill had improved a great deal and she could now completely hide the bodily symptoms of an orgasm and feel it purely through her mind. In any case, this evolution meant her special ability could evolve further and could very well be her path towards immortality.
The second test started after a short break. All of the competitors were directed to sit in meditation on the stage as Immortal Gentle Lotus Gong Liyun drew a massive spiritual formation that covered them all. Gong Liyun was an illusion specialist and her immortal arts were perfect for the second test that examined the senses and emotions.
"Oh, this might be bad..." Chen Wentian muttered.
"Why is that?" Zhou Ziyun asked beside him.
"That grandma is quite the pervert. Her illusions might cause some trauma..."
The illusion formation fell onto all the competitors, blocking all sound, as if each of them were inserted into an isolated world. They could no longer see the audience or the people sitting next to them.
The announcer went on to explain to the spectators that this illusion array would drop a person into a separate illusory world where they would have to fight or survive against their worst fears. Those that survived the longest would get the highest score. The formation would sense when their minds would break and eject them from the illusion before permanent damage. The illusion was so powerful that if Gong Liyun chose to, she could kill everyone through it.
The explanation barely finished before one competitor cried out miserably before being yanked out of the illusion. What trash! The audience laughed at the unfortunate man whose face was ashen and his whole body was shaking from shock.
Chen Wentian frowned as he focused on observing Lin Qingcheng, hoping she would be alright.

In a vast endless jungle, He Xuange was running for his life.
"Roarrrr!!"
A ferocious beast roared behind him as it crashed through the jungle, chasing after him as he ran for his life.
He had been dropped into a foreign world as soon as the illusion fell on him. He was freaked out at first as he looked at his body, which had been turned into a lion. He only had a few seconds to gather his wits about him before a gigantic griffin, taller than a building suddenly appeared before him. It was unfortunate as the half bird, half lion beast loved to eat lions and birds and there was a tasty little lion right in front of it.
As a beast cultivator, He Xuange tread along the path of nature. His greatest fear as a beast was meeting its natural predator. The relationship between predator and prey was completely cruel and unforgiving.
He Xuange's fate was sealed as soon as he turned and ran. The griffin eventually chased him down, knocking him tumbling to the ground. Before he could stand back up, a sharp talon ripped through his stomach.
"Ahhhhhhh!" He screamed in agony as he looked down.
The massive beast head lowered to his spilled guts and started to munch on them. He was being eaten alive!
"Ahhh! Stop! Kyahhh!" He Xuange cried and screamed as he felt his life quickly drain out of him.
Before he could truly die, he was mercifully pulled out of the illusion.
"He Xuange, 1 minute 21 seconds!"
He Xuange didn't hear the score as he had already fainted.

Inside a Glacier Palace disciple's dream, the entire world was ablaze. Flame imps razed villages. Flame monsters destroyed forests. Flame archdemons destroyed entire mountains. This was the flame demon apocalypse foretold by the Glacier Palace ancient texts!
The young woman held her ice sword as she desperately fought against a sea of flame imps. Each slice would extinguish a large swath of enemies only for more to take their place. It was an endless death struggle and she fought on with all her might. There was no future for her, she only wished to destroy as many flame demons as possible. Eventually, she fell down, her body burned almost beyond recognition.
"1 minute 44 seconds!"

In another world, a fiery red robed young man was rushing along a stone path on the side of a massive mountain. The entire air seemed to be hot and filled with fire energy. The Divine Blazing Mountain disciple's face was full of panic as he stormed through the familiar path. He soon reached his private courtyard and residence. He charged into his bedroom, fearing the worst.
"Ling'er!" He cried, seeing some movement from his bed.
Two heads popped out from under the covers. One was his wife, the other belonged to his senior brother who was already at the 2nd Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm. Looking at the guilty expression on his wife's face, he completely understood this nightmare illusion. Yet the dread, pain, and sadness he felt seeing this sight was completely real. His mind was completely upended.
The worst fear of any disciple of the Divine Blazing Mountain was not death or losing their cultivation. It was losing their women. By practicing an extreme yang art, the disciples would all take at least one woman as a cultivation furnace to release their yang energy. The lower disciples would get their women from the poor villages. Higher tier disciples would receive daughters of rich and noble families. However, there was never enough women to go around. Cheating happened often, with stronger disciples seducing the wives of weaker ones with offers of money, power, and status. It was a vicious cycle.
This specific disciple only had one beautiful wife whereas others at his cultivation level might have two or three. He was a sentimental man who had developed deep feelings for his wife after many nights of cultivating with her. He thought she felt the same about him, but his idealism was shattered completely.
His fist clenched in rage as he stared hatefully at his senior brother.
"You dare look at me like that?" The senior brother growled out dangerously.
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" The cuckolded young man screamed as he charged.
Bam!
How could a 10th level Mind Focusing Realm cultivator fight against a Spirit Initiate? He was completely overwhelmed as he was blasted into the wall and fell to the ground in a heap. He could barely lift his head up to look at his wife as tears fell from his eyes.
"Ling'er! Why did you do it! I love you!" He cried in anguish.
His wife avoided his eyes and she held up the covers to shield her naked breasts.
"Let's get a divorce. I'm your senior brother's woman from now on." She said quietly.
"Noooo!" The young man banged his head on the stone ground. His wife was very beautiful for a peasant girl. He always got envious looks from his fellow brothers and he felt proud about it. He should have known others would covet his woman.
"I'll forgive you! I'll be better, give me another chance! Please!" He yelled desperately.
His wife only shook her head. "No" She said simply.
It was so heartless, it cut into his soul.
"Haha, you heard her, hurry up and roll out of here!" The senior brother said.
"Ahhhhh!" The young man went crazy from hopeless despair. "Ling'er, you don't want me? Then I'll die for you!"
His mind was made up. He lifted his head bad, preparing to slam his head against the stone floor with full power, intent on committing suicide in front of his unfaithful wife.
Before his head made contact, the entire illusion dissolved and he crumpled to the ground in a heap.
"1 minute 31 seconds!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
