Chen Yang was kind, which had something to do with his nature and his upbringing since he was a child. Although his father's cultivation was not high, his knowledge and moral character were not only recognized by the family, but also by the ordinary people.
His mother was also a lady from a noble family. She was educated and reasonable, and she also imperceptibly influenced Chen Yang's education. Therefore, unlike his other companions, he did not feel superior, but was gentle and modest.
Coupled with his good appearance, all of these made Chen Yang's childhood full of joy, and also made him very firm in his ideals.
Do good to the world and kill demons!
And he did do so. Shortly after joining the sage sect, he broke through to the Dust Realm and began to go out for experience. This time, he saw the evil in the world and also the chaos in the outside world. However, he used his cultivation and the sword in his hand to walk in the world and do good to the world as much as he could.
Many mortals were saved by him, and many demons were slain by him. There were also friends from the same sect or other Daoist sects. Because of his gentleness and willingness to help others, as well as his own extraordinariness, the number of people he saved gradually increased.
Some people may be destined to be extraordinary from the beginning, and Chen Yang was one of them.
Upright, loyal, helpful, gentle, sunny, modest … and other beautiful words could be found in him.
Such a person with amazing qualifications, to a certain extent, he was already a winner in life.
Therefore, in the tenth year after joining the branch of the sage sect, he, whose cultivation had reached the Completion of the Dust Realm, was recognized by almost all of his peers and elders, and became the senior brother of this generation.
At that moment, his smile was still beautiful and full of expectation for the future. Even though he had seen too much darkness in the world, his smile did not change.
At that moment, he was the pride of the family, the role model of his fellow disciples, and the gathering point of all the light.
"I can't change the world, but what I can do is to be myself. Only in this way can I live up to you in this life!" This was what he said to himself and to his junior sister, who he had always admired, when he was engaged.
At that moment, he had many ideals in his heart. He wanted to make his family happy, to make his family better, to make his lover smile, to make his friends grow with him, to make fewer people cry, to make more people happy in their lives, to make the world slowly become more beautiful because of his own actions ….
If there were no changes, according to his trajectory, perhaps Chen Yang would really be able to go higher and further. His family would indeed be happy, his family would indeed be better off, and his junior sister's smile would also be there forever. His friends would also be like this, and the number of people who would cry would really decrease. Perhaps happiness would indeed spread throughout more people's lives.
However, sometimes, no one knew what would happen tomorrow, and no one could predict what would happen tomorrow. A single choice might be able to change and reverse everything!
This choice came to him after he broke through the Dust Realm and stepped into the Soul realm.
He was valued by the Main Sect of the Sage Sect and was given the opportunity to enter the Main Sect.
As the number one Chosen of the auxiliary Sect, Chen Yang was very excited to hear the news. His Clan was also very excited. The only thing he regretted was that the main Sect had given him a very short time to report in. Because of that, the wedding between him and his little Junior Sister had to be delayed.
"After I report to the Main Sect, I will apply for a period of leave and come back to marry you." This was the promise that Chen Yang made to his junior sister before he left, as he looked at her and gently kissed her on the forehead.
But it was destined that … this promise could not be fulfilled.
Because Chen Yang would never have thought that what awaited him in the Main Sect would be a nightmare that would accompany him for the rest of his life …
The first time he came to the Main Sect, he and the other 99 geniuses from the other branch sects were directly imprisoned together without any reason!
The place where they were imprisoned was called the Blood Prison!
This was a prison, a prison filled with gloom and evil. On the first day they entered, their cultivation was suppressed. There was a low and cold voice that 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 a day. Once they did, they would be given food and spirit stones to recover their strength and cultivation base.
However, for those who were unable to do so, as long as they died, their families, friends, and everything related to them would be executed!
If they didn't die, and didn't complete the mission, then they would have to personally witness the deaths of their friends and family.
Finally, when only one person was left alive, the prison would open.
The echoing sound of the voice caused the minds of all one hundred people to tremble. Chen Yang felt that it was absurd. No matter what they said, no matter how they tried to find an exit, no matter what they did, they all failed ….
After the first day passed, with the exception of a few people who completed the mission, most of the cultivators, including Chen Yang, didn't kill anyone. Then, as the midnight bell rang, a scene appeared in front of Chen Yang's eyes that made him go crazy.
It was a divine ability that was directly projected into the minds of all the people who had not completed the mission, allowing them to see different scenes.
What Chen Yang saw was his own father …. His father, who was always smiling, gentle, and without a single blemish in his life, had his bones crushed bit by bit. Amidst a series of shrill cries, his flesh and blood were crushed until he was completely destroyed in body and soul!
Chen Yang didn't believe it. He felt that it must be fake. He was a disciple of the Main Sect, and he had done nothing to betray the Main Sect. He had done nothing evil. Therefore, this was impossible, and should not be happening to him!
"This must be a test to get into the main sect," he murmured. "This is an illusion!"
Chen Yang murmured. He kept telling himself that none of this was possible. Not only did he tell himself that, he also told the others. Although some people chose to believe him, most of them began to fall silent. They instinctively separated from each other. Occasionally, their eyes would shine with fierce light, as well as internal conflict. It created a stifling pressure that caused everyone's hearts to palpitate. The people who had separated from each other began to look for places to hide.
It was the same for Chen Yang. On the second day, there were still a few more people who tried to kill him. However, there were still more people who chose to remain silent. However, when midnight arrived and the images appeared again, there were some people who let out howls of grief and madness.
"Why? Why? Why!?!?"
"I've always been devoted to the Main Sect. The Main Sect is my home. Why are they doing this to me!?"
Chen Yang's body trembled as he heard the screams of the people around him. In his mind, he saw his uncle being tortured in exactly the same way, dying miserably.
"It's fake …. It's fake …. It's all fake …." Chen Yang continued to tell himself that this was a test from the Main Sect. It had to be.
Soon, the third, fourth, and fifth days passed. Chen Yang's hair was disheveled, and he hid in his hiding place. During those three days, he saw more of his loved ones die. At the same time, he also noticed that those who had chosen to kill had all become silent. They were divided into two groups. Chen Yang's eyes were filled with hatred.
One group was like Chen Yang, and had never killed anyone. The other group had already killed, and on the second day, they attacked even more fiercely.
The latter group grew larger and larger. Whether it was because they believed in the images, or because they wanted food, or because they wanted Spirit Stones to recover their suppressed Cultivation bases, there were too many reasons for them to choose to kill.
On the ninth day, a young man appeared in Chen Yang's hiding place, his eyes shining with a ferocious light.
Chen Yang remembered him. He had been in the same Main Sect as Chen Yang had been on the second day. Now, he didn't believe it.
"Chen Yang," he said, "since you've always believed this to be an illusion, and a test from the Main Sect, then allow me to kill you here. I'll free you, and help you verify the truth.
"Perhaps if you die here, you'll wake up in the main Main Sect. At most, you'll fail the test." With that, the young man walked closer and closer ….
