Chen Yang was kind. This was related to his nature, and it was also related to the upbringing he had received since he was young. His father's cultivation wasn't high, but in terms of knowledge and moral character, not only was he publicly acknowledged by the family, but he was also the same in the mortal world.
As for his mother, she was also the daughter of a noble family. While she was well-educated, she also had a subtle influence on Chen Yang's education. He was not like his other companions, who felt that he was superior to others. Instead, he was gentle and modest.
Adding on his extraordinary appearance, all of this caused Chen Yang's childhood to be filled with joy. It also caused him to be very firm in his ideals.
To do good in the world, to slay demons and exterminate devils!
And that was exactly what he had done. Not long after he had entered the Glory Sect, he had broken through to the Mortal Realm. Then, he had gone out to train. This time, he had seen the evil of the world and the chaos of the outside world. But he had used his cultivation and the sword in his hand to walk around the world and do his best to do good in all directions.
He saved many mortals, killed many demons, and friends from the same sect or other Daoist sects. As he became gentle and willing to help others, as well as his own extraordinariness, the number gradually increased.
Some people were destined to be extraordinary from the start. Chen Yang was one of them.
Righteousness, loyalty, helping others, gentleness, sunshine, modesty … and many other beautiful words could be found in him.
Such a person had amazing talent. To a certain extent, he was already a winner in life.
Thus, in the tenth year of joining the Sage Sect, he reached the great perfection of the Dust Realm and was recognized by almost all of his peers and elders. He became the eldest senior brother of this generation.
At that moment, his smile was still filled with beauty and anticipation for the future. Even though he had seen too much darkness in the world, his smile did not change.
At that moment, the sect had placed high hopes on him. He was the pride of the family, the role model of his fellow sect members, and the point where all light gathered.
"I can't change the world, but I can do my best. Only then can I not let you down in this life!" This was what he had said to himself, and also to his Junior Sister, whom he had always adored, when they were engaged.
At that moment, he had many ideals in his heart. He wanted his family to be happy, to make his family better, to make his lover smile forever, to make his friends grow up with him, to make fewer people cry, to make more people happy in their lives, to make the world, because of him, to slowly become a better place ….
If there were no changes, then according to his path, perhaps Chen Yang would have been able to walk higher and further. His family would have been happy, his clan would have been better, and his Junior Sister's smile would have been there forever. His friends would have been the same. Perhaps fewer people would cry, and perhaps more people would have been happy in their lives.
But sometimes, no one knew what would happen tomorrow, and no one could predict it. Perhaps one choice could change everything, or even reverse everything!
This choice had come to him after he had broken through the Mortal Realm and stepped into the Spirit Realm.
He had been valued by the main sect of the Sacred Sun Sect, and had been given the opportunity to enter the main sect.
As the number one genius of the branch sect, Chen Yang was very excited when he heard this news. His clan was the same. The only thing he regretted was that the main sect had given him a very short time to report in. This meant that his wedding with his Junior Sister had to be delayed.
"After I report to the main sect, I will apply for a period of time off, and then come back to marry you." This was the promise Chen Yang had made to his Junior Sister before he left, and as he kissed her forehead, he said, "I will report to the main sect, and then I will apply for a period of time off.
But it was destined … that this promise would never be fulfilled.
Because no matter what, Chen Yang had never imagined that what awaited him in the main sect would be a nightmare that would accompany him for the rest of his life …
As soon as he arrived at the Main Sect, he and the other ninety-nine Heaven's Sovereigns from the other Sub-sects were locked up together without any reason!
The place where they were locked up was called the Blood Prison!
This was a prison, a prison filled with darkness and evil. On the first day they arrived, their cultivation was suppressed, and a deep and cold voice told them that the rule here was to kill!
They had to kill each other, and each of them had to kill at least one person per day. If they could do that, they would be given food and Spirit Stones to restore their own strength and cultivation base.
But those who couldn't do it, as long as they died, their family, friends, and everything related to them would be killed!
As for those who didn't die and didn't complete the mission, they would personally see their family and friends die.
In the end, when there was only one person left alive, the prison would open.
This voice echoed and caused the hearts of the 100 people to tremble. Chen Yang felt that this was absurd, but no matter what they said, no matter how they tried to find an exit, no matter how they thought of a way, they all failed …
After the first day passed, aside from a few people who completed the mission, most of the cultivators, including Chen Yang, didn't kill anyone. As the midnight bell rang, a scene that made Chen Yang go crazy appeared before his eyes.
It was a great spell that was cast directly into the minds of all the people who hadn't completed the mission, allowing them to see different scenes.
What Chen Yang saw was his father … the father who always had a smile on his face, who had always treated people with kindness, who had never had a stain on his life. His father's bones were crushed bit by bit, and then his flesh and blood were crushed until he was destroyed in body and soul!
Chen Yang didn't believe it. He felt that this had to be fake. He was a disciple of the Sage Sect, and he hadn't done anything to betray the Sect. He hadn't done anything evil, so this couldn't have happened to him!
"This must be the test to enter the Main Sect. This is an illusion!"
Murmured Chen Yang. He kept telling himself that all of this was impossible. He wasn't just telling himself, he was telling the others as well. Although some people chose to believe him, even more people began to fall silent. They instinctively separated from each other. Occasionally, their eyes would shine with viciousness and struggle, creating an oppressive feeling that caused everyone's hearts to tremble. Everyone who had separated began to find their own places to hide.
It was the same for Chen Yang. On the second day, there were a few more people who killed, but in the end, the majority chose to remain silent. However, when midnight arrived, the scenes appeared again, and some people began to howl in pain and madness.
"Why, why, why!!"
"I've always been loyal to the Sect. The Sect is my home. Why are you doing this to me!?"
As the people around him howled, Chen Yang's body trembled. The scene in his mind was that of his uncle being tortured in the same way, screaming miserably as he died!
"It's fake … it's fake … It's all fake …" Chen Yang trembled as he repeatedly told himself that this was definitely a test from the Sect. It had to be.
Soon, the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day passed. Chen Yang's hair was a mess as he hid in his hiding place. During these three days, he once again saw his family die tragically. At the same time, he discovered that all those who chose to kill became silent. At the same time, they were divided into two groups.
One group was like Chen Yang and had never killed before. The other group had already killed, and on the second day, they attacked even more fiercely.
As for the latter group, more and more people chose to kill. Whether it was because they believed the scene, or because they wanted food, or because they wanted Spirit Stones to restore their suppressed cultivation bases, there were too many reasons for people to choose to kill!
When the ninth day arrived, a young man with a ferocious gaze walked out from Chen Yang's hiding place.
Chen Yang remembered him. That was the first day, and he had also believed that this was an illusion. But now, it was clear that he didn't believe it.
"Chen Yang, since you always thought this was an illusion, a test from the Sect, then let me kill you here and help you free yourself. I'll help you confirm the answer.
"Perhaps after you die here, you will awaken in the main sect. At most, you will fail the test." The young man slowly walked closer and closer ….
