Chapter 640: 321 You all have problems
Just then, a flash of spiritual light suddenly appeared in her mind, making Lin Yi reveal a hint of surprise on his face. He hadn’t expected that the second layer’s trial was truly an Illusion Land, and moreover, it had bestowed upon him new memories.
Unfortunately, under the effects of the Path of Survivor and the Creation Method, what the Tai Xuan Tower detected was just one of his normal Nascent Souls. His Primordial Spirit was refined from the fusion of three Nascent Souls, something that the Tai Xuan Tower could not fully conceal.
His Divinity Cultivation was still accessible and hadn’t been sealed.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel relieved. Even the Tai Xuan Tower, suspected to be an Immortal Artifact, couldn’t obscure his memory of the Primordial Spirit, so he could rest assured.
Although he had regained his memory, he continued to act as if he was completely unaware, and continued walking into the jungle. In other words, his current state was akin to cheating.
Others undergoing the Illusion Land trial lost their memories, whereas he had only been influenced a bit at the beginning and had now fully recovered his memory, even able to summon the Title System.
Naturally, Lin Yi would not use strength beyond his current Cultivation Realm, as being discovered would alert the Tai Xuan Tower Spirit that he might have regained his memory, leading to the failure of the trial.
As for the Eye of Emptiness, it would not be detected, but he wouldn’t use it right away. Instead, he wanted to see what the second layer’s trial entailed first.
According to the information from Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion, the Illusion Land trial, related to one’s nature or state of mind, appeared most frequently on the second layer.
As he was pondering, cries for help came from the nearby jungle, “Save me, oh, save me.”
Lin Yi’s expression changed slightly. It seemed that the trial had started, and he wondered what kind of test the Tai Xuan Tower had prepared for him.
He activated his Divinity Cultivation and raced towards the direction of the cries for help at an incredibly fast speed.
After entering the jungle, he saw three figures in the clearing ahead: two humans and one demon. Actually, to be precise, it was a child and a pair fighting each other.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi seemed to have already guessed the nature of this trial, so he continued to step forward.
At this moment, the two humans and the demon noticed his approach and had to stop fighting. The child cried out for help loudly, “Sister, come save me.”
The people beside the child, one human and one demon, shifted their expressions slightly and looked towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also observed their appearances. The child looked clean, neat, and adorable, while the Demon Tribe member was a Bull Demon that had reached the Transformation Realm, appearing in a half-human form with a pair of bull horns on the head, looking quite simple and honest.
As for the human, he was a mean-looking middle-aged man with sharp features and a large mole beside his nose, giving off a cunning and scheming vibe, also at the Deification Realm.
“Sister, they’re all bad guys wanting to kidnap me. Please save me,” pleaded the child frantically.
Recalling the memories given by the Tai Xuan Tower, Li Yajing had a very kindhearted nature. Playing her part accordingly, Lin Yi appeared serious and drew his Flying Sword saying, “Child, don’t be afraid, I’m here to save you.”
The sharp-featured middle-aged man quickly said, “Fellow daoist, there’s been some misunderstanding. I just arrived here when I heard the child crying for help and rushed over. I found this Bull Demon dragging a child, so I attacked it. You happened to come at the right time, come help me kill this Bull Demon.”
The Bull Demon spoke in the half-understandable language of humans, “You lie. Esteemed fellow of the human race, I had just arrived when I heard the cries for help from the child, so I rushed over. Then I found this Human Cultivator holding the child, preparing to take him towards our Demon Tribe’s side. He’s the bad guy, some in our tribe like to eat children, this man must be colluding with them.”
The seemingly adorable and obedient child then shouted loudly, “Sister, they’re all bad guys, they’re in cahoots, come save me quickly.”
“Child, come over to me,” Lin Yi said, feigning confusion, first luring the child over with his kind persona, yet in his heart, he was pondering if this trial was a game of Immortal Killers, meant to find the hidden wolf. If he killed the wrong one, did it mean the trial would be failed?
The seemingly kind and adorable child ran towards Lin Yi without hesitation, neither the bull nor the man trying to stop him.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but crouch down and asked the child, “Tell sister, who’s lying? Sister will avenge you.”
“Sister, they both lied, they’re in cahoots. This guy tricked me away from home, planning to hand me over to this bull,” the child accused loudly, pointing at both the bull and the man.
The sharp-featured Human Cultivator’s complexion changed drastically, and he urgently said, “Child, how can you tell such lies? Although I might be ugly, I am still from the human race. Moreover, my parents were killed by the Demon Tribe. How could I collude with them?”
“Child, you cannot tell lies. The Demon Tribe has both good and evil. I clearly saw this fellow from the human race tucking you under his arm, attempting to deliver you to the demon race. You can’t betray gratitude like this,” said the Demon with feet stomping anxiously.
