Chapter 53 Youthful Official (1/2)
As he saw the effect of his mental energy's application, He nodded slightly as he was satisfied by the effect it produced. He closed his eyes delving back into his thoughts. In front of him, the Young Official continuously shook as if he was going to plummet straight to the ground.
”Impressive… Sir! I've always been passionate about cultivation! I won't quit now that an opportunity has presented itself!”
The Young Official felt an overwhelming nausea as he felt like his innards were mixing inside his body. His limbs trembled; he looked like he was taken by a seizure. His eyed constantly flipped and rolled. His five senses were going through a vicious tempering.
First was his sight, even with his eyes shut his mind kept being filled with hallucinations. He was having the impression of being next to a black hole; His sense of balance was twisted to a ridiculous degree, feeling as if he was constantly spinning in several directions.

His perception of reality was being bent by Fell's Will as he was facing the trial. But the more time passed, the Young Official's will kept decreasing. The shambling and distorted sensation of his senses and the pressure on his body gradually grew in their potency.
”Difficult…. Wh…Arggghh…t is this…!” He managed to grumble while gasping for air and clenching his teeth to bear the pain.
He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. His mind began blanking under the tremendous pressure his mortal will was facing. As he lost control of his body; Fell activated the last part of this trial.
”My dear child…” A sweet and tender, motherly, voice sounded in Wind XIan's ears. A dazed look appeared in his face and he appeared a bit lost.
”M…Mom..” Mumbled Wind Xian, who was currently lost in reminiscence and who seemed to currently be lost in a maze. His neck creaked as it painfully turned to look around him. But weirdly, from the moment he heard the voice, he felt darkness surround him and his eyes turned blind. As he turned around, the daze and the bewilderment he was feeling disappeared. Anguish, washed over his body, making him look tired; He was overexerted since his parents died. All of his past bravadoes disappeared and his will was slowly shrinking.
He was disappointed in himself, sad that he didn't show them any accomplishment during their lives. And even now he wasn't satisfied. At this moment in his life where it could be said that he was successful. Having attained an official rank at such a young age was quite a feat. He came to somehow be proud of himself, helping him aim higher in his life.
But something was lacking. He regretted his past self's selfish action, even in poverty, he didn't work to help. He didn't study. He only blamed life for his family's bad luck.
He regretted his action as soon as his mother died. Lost and confused, the pain left him sleepless for many nights. He wanted to show her what he could do, but he never managed to. Regret left a bitter aftertaste in his life.
Then his father died. He soundlessly followed his wife to the grave. Tired from the past calamities his family went through, he passed out during one of his drunken late nights of sleep. Never waking up again.
Those losses left a deep hole in Wind's mind. Since then, he never rewarded himself once for the rest of his life. Forever working, never stopping. He gave his body and soul to life.
”This is enough…”, he heard the voice speak again as deep, sadness and remorse, washed his body. ”You can stop…”, the voice continued, ”You've done more than enough for your age.”
”NO.” He growled in a harsh tone.
He was driven by a powerful emotion. Regret… Regret was a never-ending emotion; Thus his pain lasted forever.
He stayed in this state for a few breaths. Only Wind knew how much it felt for him. But as he resisted the gentle voice pleaded, his stubborn will intensified. As he was facing his internal demon, he began understanding what was happening; This internalization was sending him straight to the path of Soul Cultivation.
