Chapter 15 : Miracle (1)
“You did well, there is no need to force what isn’t meant to be.”
Protector Hua gently consoled his disciple.
Yu He approvingly nodded his head.
“To be able to enter the seventh level at this age, it is very commendable within the younger generation.”
Xu Hui gathered his wits, took a deep breath, and coldly stared at Li Qi Ye.
“Your turn! It is not too late to give up.”
Xu Hui widen his legs, and shadily smiled.
“If you do it now, I won’t make things harder for you later. If you wait until after you have failed the test, it would be harder to predict what your fate will be.”
Li Qi Ye ignored the salty taunts and entered the Chaotic Heart Forest, step by step.
In front of him was a sea of fire. It was a world filled with lava, fire crackles surrounded the four spheres. Inside this illusion, his feet were burnt to a crisp; no one could even begin to imagine this pain, but Li Qi Ye just strutted on without a single groan.
Li Qi Ye did not mind the Chaotic Heart Forest. During the Desolace Era, he spent his time being tortured; his soul severed from his body. He had suffered from the hands of heavenly demons, trapped by the Ancient Ming. He spent what felt like an eternity without sunlight and underwent many torturous ordeals. Although the body of the dark crow was immortal; the pain did was still there.
One million years had passed, he traversed through all of the Forbidden Burials, spent time in the Heavenly Land, and fallen into the Forbidden Ghost City, the most dangerous place in this world. Compared to those places, the Chaotic Heart Forest was nothing more than a short stroll. It couldn’t break his willpower.
In the blink of an eye, he had passed the first level. In the illusion, the sea of fire disappeared; Li Qi Ye was now in a frozen world, surrounded by the icy cold auras of a tundra.
Outside of the forest, countless disciples were waiting for Li Qi Ye to be kicked out. Protector Mo and Nan Huai Ren were still turning their gazes away, unwilling to see Li Qi Ye’s being humiliated. But, as the moments passed, the silence encroached the surroundings. You could hear the drop of a needle from a mile away. Surprised by the lack of jeers and cheers for his failure, the two turned their heads around and what met their eyes was an inexplicable sight.
“Level… Level… Level eight…”
A disciple softly whimpered in shock.
“Level nine, ten, eleven…”
Li Qi Ye paraded through the levels as if he was walking on an empty street; his speed remained as swift as it was during the first level.
“Level… Level… Fourteen…”
In the end, Li Qi Ye went straight through the Chaotic Heart Forest with full confidence, and he leisurely stepped out of the last level.
Everyone was now frozen. Passing through the fourteen levels of Chaotic Heart Forest; this was an impossible feat. From the ancient past until now, none of the younger generation of the Nine Saint Demon Gate had ever accomplished it. Even Li Shuang Yan, who had the highest aptitude and willpower, couldn’t do the same.
“This is impossible… impossible! This cannot be!!!”
Xu Hui fell deep into confusion, but this was the reality that laid before his eyes.
Protector Hua has his mouth wide open as well. He couldn’t close it due to his bewilderment.
Even the sect master could not pass through the fourteenth level of the Chaotic Heart Forest. What kind of willpower was this?
“Eh, this is only the appetizer.”
Li Qi Ye came back and casually spoke. It was as if he had just taken a walk in the comfort of his own garden.
“Okay, kneel down and start crawling!”
Li Qi Ye glanced at Xu Hui, and declared.
“No… No, this cannot be happening!”
Xu Hui loudly howled. Not only him, but everyone else also found themselves in disbelief.
“Was there something wrong with the Chaotic Heart Forest?”
Protector Hua wondered.
“Surely, surely that is the case. Maybe the prohibiting spells of the forest have lost their power.”
It was as if Xu Hui was trying to find a tree branch when he was drowning; he quickly added:
“It doesn’t count this time, the Chaotic Heart Forest has lost its effect.”
“There is no chance.”
A while later, Grand Protector Yu He gathered his thoughts, shook his head, and continued:
