Chapter 85. Home Illusion
【Kexin is indeed experiencing her first love】
Han Fairy observes Kexin’s illusion from a divine perspective. It reveals a peach blossom forest with a small wooden house—this is where she lives with Lin Nuo.
Indeed, a pure little girl with a simple and easy-to-understand mindset.
The peach blossoms symbolize love, and the house contains only her and Lin Nuo, which clearly represents her feelings for him.
Such a peach blossom garden is indeed a dream place for a young girl, but the subsequent shattering might deal a huge blow to her.
Well, it may be cruel, but she must take this step.
Then there’s Liu Shuqin.
She sees Liu Shuqin at a disordered, complex intersection, with many pathways before her. She hesitates, unsure of which way to go.
【Shuqin has been feeling unstable lately; it turns out she’s confused and lost, and I need to have a good talk with her.】
Han Fairy comes to this conclusion. Liu Shuqin indeed seems downcast lately, perhaps hitting a bottleneck. I hope she can pull through the upcoming hardships.
“Han Fairy, let’s also take a look at Shili’s illusion.”
At this moment, Elder Yuan walks over. He has always had high hopes for Qin Shili and wishes to witness her illusion alongside Han Fairy.
“Alright, let’s go together.”
Han Fairy nods in agreement, and together with Elder Yuan, they use their divine vision to observe Qin Shili’s illusion.
It reveals a tranquil sea and blue sky, where Qin Shili flies through the icy cold air, calmly content with herself.
Elder Yuan is quite pleased, stroking his beard and chuckling:
“Indeed, Shili is the strongest among her peers. Her heart is like still water; the upcoming trials will surely be a breeze for her.”
After observing Qin Shili’s illusion, Han Fairy intends to check Lin Nuo’s illusion next. Just how profound could the illusion of such a skilled disciple be?
At that moment, Master Zhao and Master Cong have already gone to witness Lin Nuo’s illusion themselves. Both are very interested in what Lin Nuo’s illusion contains.
The two stare blankly, thinking they must have made a mistake, so they perform the technique again, only to see the same illusion.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Han Fairy notices their unfavorable expressions and approaches with concern.
“This illusion seems inconsistent with your disciple’s strength, doesn’t it?”
Master Zhao frowns, and Han Fairy quickly performs the technique, entering divine vision to view Lin Nuo’s illusion.
It’s a small room with a long bench and a little table next to it. A boy is sprawled lazily on the bench, munching on Meat Floss Cake, reaching for a bottle full of black beverage on the small table, taking a sip before letting out a long sigh.
So refreshing.
The boy flips through a book with his fingertips, which features various characters they’ve never seen before. Each page contains multiple panels with character portraits and dialogues.
Comics! Lin Nuo is drinking soda and munching on Meat Floss Cake while reading comics, utterly lazy and showing no self-discipline as a cultivator, resembling an extremely slothful commoner.
So anyone witnessing this illusion can hardly believe this is what a cultivator who should be achieving great things at Wind Sea Forest ought to look like, or one who should be rewarded by the princess!
And what is he drinking? Isn’t that book for children?
“Han Fairy, what do you think? Is your disciple usually this lazy?”
“Well, there must be some mistake. A disciple as exceptional as him shouldn’t be this lazy,” Han Fairy replies.
“What kind of book is he reading? Is it a technique? Doesn’t seem like it, the art style of the character portraits is completely different from what we usually see.”
“Indeed, I’ve never seen such a book either.”
Han Fairy and Master Zhao express curiosity about the book Lin Nuo holds, as they have never encountered it before.
And what about that drink? It’s black; is it sugary water? Who drinks sugary water with a straw?
Such an illusion reflecting his mindset can only be described as lazy and slothful.
Meanwhile, Master Cong is secretly delighted, as Lin Nuo is often compared to his second disciple, Xie Yu. The illusion reflects the disciple’s mindset and seeing Lin Nuo slumped like a waste, reading a comic while munching on Meat Floss Cake and drinking a black beverage, he looks like a completely unambitious rich young man, only craving enjoyment.
In contrast, his second disciple, Xie Yu’s illusion is vastly different. Xie Yu is on the battlefield in the border region, fighting against alien races—truly concerned for the country and the lives of the people.
Comparing both, their levels of seriousness are entirely worlds apart; naturally, Xie Yu’s potential surpasses Lin Nuo’s.
“Forget it, let’s proceed with the test; let darkness invade their illusions.”
Master Zhao orders, and now comes the highlight, commencing the trial. Each disciple’s illusion is transitioned to a dark side, testing their mental strength and capacity for endurance.
Beginning the technique, all the disciples’ illusions transform, revealing the dark sides they resist in their hearts.
“I hope these kids can withstand it.”
Master Zhao sighs, then turns to look at Lin Nuo’s illusion, pondering what kind of darkness would come from such a lazy illusion.
Upon inspection, he finds it truly dark.
Yes, entirely black; there’s nothing visible at all.
