To be honest, Wan Feng and the others were even more surprised when they saw Zhao Hai set off again than when they saw Zhao Hai easily reach the sixth floor.
Wan Feng and the others had passed through the Path of Tempering Heart, so they were very clear about how terrifying the hallucinations were. The hallucinations were directed towards the heart, the weakest and most cherished place. Once you fall into the hallucination, you would feel that it was an incomparably real world. It was almost impossible to get out of that world.
When you fall into the hallucination, your body would involuntarily move towards the edge of the path. Finally, you would fall off the path. Naturally, the Elders below would catch you and prevent any accidents. However, that also meant that you had failed this time.
Since the beginning of the Path of Tempering Heart, very few people were able to overcome the hallucinations and wake up. For example, when Wan Feng and the others entered the Path of Tempering Heart, they were all prepared so that they wouldn't fall into the hallucinations. Only by doing so could they walk a long way. Zhao Hai, on the other hand, had fallen into a hallucination and defeated it. This was something that only one in a million could do.
After Zhao Hai went on the path again, he felt a lot more relaxed. He was already prepared. Moreover, the new energy was just to test him. Naturally, it would cause him a lot of harm. Therefore, Zhao Hai was able to pass through the sixth floor very quickly. It didn't take long for him to reach the seventh floor.
This time, Zhao Hai was very careful. When he reached the seventh floor, he felt a different energy coming towards him. Fortunately, Zhao Hai was already prepared. This time, he didn't fall into the hallucination.
In this way, Zhao Hai continued to move forward. Before long, he reached the eighth floor and went straight to the ninth floor. Seeing Zhao Hai reach the ninth floor on his first try, Wan Feng and the others were startled. From the fifth floor to the sixth floor, the test wasn't one's spiritual force, but one's willpower. If one's willpower was weak, then they would immediately fall into the hallucinations. Moreover, each floor was more difficult than the previous one. For Zhao Hai to reach the eighth floor on his first try, it was enough to show that Zhao Hai's willpower was incomparably strong.
In fact, just as Wan Feng and the others thought, Zhao Hai wasn't very relaxed. He could feel that the invisible energy was constantly attacking him, wanting to make him fall into the hallucination. His spiritual force was unable to resist this energy. He could only rely on his willpower to resist this energy. He even felt that his willpower was somewhat blurred.
However, he still clenched his teeth and persevered. He even forgot that he was in the middle of the test. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to go forward. He had to persist and not let himself fall into the hallucination.
What Zhao Hai didn't know was that he had already reached the ninth floor. He wasn't far from the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain, there was a small platform. On this platform, three people were standing. These three people were wearing black monk robes. Their hair was already somewhat white. The three of them were looking at Zhao Hai with a surprised expression.
The old man standing in the middle looked at Zhao Hai and couldn't help but nod, "He really is a good seedling. His willpower is actually this strong. Moreover, with his cultivation method and potential, it seems like he will become a core disciple in the future."
The other two didn't speak, but the expressions on their faces were very interesting. One of them looked a little stunned, but his eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness and anger.
On the other hand, the other person's expression was much better. He had a smile on his face and his eyes. He looked at Zhao Hai as if he was an old man looking at his family's younger generation.
The reason why these two old men had such an expression was related to their identity. One of them was surnamed Long while the other was surnamed Zhou. The old man surnamed Long was the Long Family's Supreme Elder. He was also the person with the highest status in the Unbreakable Sect. He was also an Inner Elder of the Unbreakable Sect as well as Long Batian and Long Feitian's great-grandfather.
The old man surnamed Zhou was the same. He was also the Zhou Family's Supreme Elder, an Inner Elder of the Unbreakable Sect, and Zhou Feng's great-grandfather. It can be said that these two old men were the representatives of the Long Family and the Zhou Family in the Unbreakable Sect.
Of the two brothers, Long Feitian and Long Batian, one had his arms broken by Zhao Hai and had yet to recover. The other was a Blink Realm expert but couldn't do anything to Zhao Hai. It could be said that they had lost a lot of face. This made the Long Family hate Zhao Hai. The Long Family's Supreme Elder naturally didn't have a good impression of Zhao Hai.
On the other hand, the Zhou Family was the exact opposite. Zhao Hai and Zhou Feng were good friends. The better Zhao Hai's results were, the more important he would be to the Unbreakable Sect. In the future, his position in the Unbreakable Sect would be higher, and the more help he would be to the Zhou Family. Therefore, seeing Zhao Hai achieve such good results, the Zhou Family's Supreme Elder was naturally very happy.
The Long Family's Supreme Elder also knew that Zhao Hai had already reached the ninth floor. Even if he couldn't hold on any longer, he would still be valued by the Sect. If the Long Family wanted to make a move on him, they could only do it through normal means. They definitely couldn't do it secretly, or they would definitely be investigated by the Sect.
These three people were actually here to act as invigilators. For the Unbreakable Sect, the Path of Refining Heart was definitely a big matter. Those who passed the Path of Refining Heart would have a high status in the Unbreakable Sect in the future. It could be said that they were the backbone of the Unbreakable Sect. It was precisely because of this that the Unbreakable Sect paid special attention to these people.
Zhao Hai's talent was very good, and he also studied Buddhist Body Cultivation Methods. If he passed the Path of Refining Heart, then his future achievements would certainly not be low. It was precisely because of this that the Unbreakable Sect paid special attention to Zhao Hai. They specially sent three elders to observe Zhao Hai.
The three candidates for the assessment were also very interesting. The old man who stood in the middle and spoke was the Unbreakable Sect's Core Disciple Elder. He was also one of the Supreme Elders of the Unbreakable Sect.
The other two candidates were the Long Family and the Zhou Family. Whether it was the Long Family or the Zhou Family, they understood that this was a warning from the Sect. It was to make them behave. In the absence of the Sect's order, it was best not to make a move on Zhao Hai. Naturally, they also shouldn't try to win over Zhao Hai.
Although the two understood this, it was impossible for them to just let the matter between them and Zhao Hai pass.
Zhao Hai really didn't know what the three of them were thinking. He felt that every step he took was extremely difficult. His head was sweating like rain. For Zhao Hai, this was definitely a situation that had never happened before.
Now, Zhao Hai was constantly fighting against those incomparably powerful illusions. It can be said that he had fallen into a semi-unconscious state.
But in this case, Zhao Hai still insisted on moving forward step by step. He had now officially entered the ninth floor.
The power of the illusions in the ninth floor was even stronger. Zhao Hai felt as if his soul was being torn in two. Half of it was his life on Earth. His life on Earth was so real, because it was also his real life.
The other half was his life after crossing over. His life after crossing over was also very real. These two lives were constantly switching in his mind, making Zhao Hai suffer unspeakably.
Just when Zhao Hai felt that his soul was about to be torn apart, the golden spiritual force in Zhao Hai's mind suddenly moved. Then, the spiritual force entered his soul. Suddenly, Zhao Hai felt that his sea of consciousness had turned golden. Under the illumination of this golden radiance, Zhao Hai felt as if his soul was sunbathing. The feeling of his soul being torn apart completely disappeared.
Zhao Hai felt his spirit shake as the pressure around him lessened. Then he quickly sensed the three people on the Refining Heart Road. This discovery made Zhao Hai stare. But then he immediately became careful. He still acted as if he was about to fall down at any time. He didn't want to be careless.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also discovered that the energy that entered his mind was unusual. This energy wanted to copy a part of his memories and then take it out of his mind. Fortunately, this energy had been completely digested by the golden energy in his mind. The golden energy was slowly absorbing the mysterious energy on the Refining Heart Road. This allowed his soul and spiritual force to make great progress.
However, this gave Zhao Hai a reminder. Before, Zhou Feng and the others said that they would unconsciously speak the truth on the Refining Heart Road. What they said might not be spoken with their mouths. Instead, they used this method to make the mysterious energy steal a part of one's memories. This allowed the people from the Forbidding Sect to see one's memories. This way, one wouldn't be able to keep any secrets.
Thinking of this, Zhao immediately came up with an idea. He immediately made a fake memory, and then let the golden energy in his mind take the fake memory away. This way, those people wouldn't be suspicious of him anymore. Zhao thought for a moment, then he immediately made a fake memory. Then he let the golden energy in his mind open a path and let the mysterious force take the fake memory away. This way, those people wouldn't suspect him.
After doing this, Zhao Hai pretended that he couldn't hold on any longer. His body tilted as he fell down the Refining Heart Road. At this time, he still hadn't reached the ninth floor. There were still 99 steps left before he reached the tenth floor.
However, when they saw Zhao Hai fall down, whether it was Wan Feng or the Elders, they all relaxed. To be honest, Zhao Hai being able to hold on until this point was already beyond their expectations. If Zhao Hai could pass through the Refining Heart Road, then it would be too shocking.
Wan Feng's figure moved as he flew up and caught Zhao Hai. Then he saw Zhao Hai clenching his teeth and fainting. Wan Feng couldn't help but sigh. Then he slowly landed on the ground and gently placed Zhao Hai on the ground. Then he looked up at the peak of the Refining Heart Road.
Just as Zhao Hai fell down, the Elder couldn't help but sigh, "Good kid, you're really determined. You're really a piece of old material." Then the Elder walked to the side where there was a rock. Then he waved his hand and the rock was lifted up. Below the rock was a jade slip. The Elder took the jade slip and poured his spiritual force into it.
