Leaving aside Qin Xuan and the other experts among the cultivators who came this time, Sakra, on the other hand, felt a mysterious power that he couldn't break free from when he was pulled in by the white mist. In the blink of an eye, he was out of the white mist, but the scene before him stunned him.
"Eh! This is … "
He frowned slightly. In front of him was a purple bamboo forest. There were no cultivators in the forest, only him standing there. A gentle breeze blew past, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle. The leaves rustled in the wind, and the rustling of the leaves seemed to form a strange melody. It caused all the living beings in the area to feel a sense of tranquility.
"Ding ding ding dong, dong ding ding dong …"
Amidst the rustling of the bamboo leaves, there was a sound of a zither mixed in with the wind. It was perfect when combined with the bamboo leaves. It was like the sound of nature. When Di Shitian heard it, he unconsciously felt a sense of calmness in his mind. He felt like he was about to fall asleep.
"This zither music … is strange!"
Sakra's mind was absent-minded for a moment before he abruptly came back to his senses. His eyes shone brightly as he instantly understood that this zither sound was definitely not an ordinary zither sound. There was a mysterious power in it.
"Ding dong, ding dong …"
The zither music continued to enter his ears and mind. Although Di Shitian knew that there was something strange about this zither music, he couldn't stop it at all. This zither music was like a gentle breeze that entered his body. Even if he sealed his six senses, he still couldn't stop it. It didn't enter his ears, but it directly sounded in his mind.
"Zither Realm, Zither Realm. Since I can't stop it, I want to see what this zither music is trying to do."
Di Shitian raised his eyebrows. When the Qin Family came in, they had already said that the Zither Realm was divided into inner and outer realms. The outer realm was a test for the Qin Family to recruit disciples. There was no danger even if he didn't pass it. At most, he would be unconscious for a while. He believed that the Qin Family wouldn't dare to lie about this.
Thus, he didn't try to stop him. Looking around, he sat down cross-legged in the middle of the bamboo forest, closed his eyes, and listened attentively.
When he heard this, countless images suddenly appeared in his mind. His mind suddenly became absent-minded, and countless memories surged out from the depths of his heart like lightning. His entire mind appeared in a strange place. In this place, he saw a familiar scene. There were people and things, endless traffic, and tall buildings.
This was actually his previous life. From the moment he was born, he had personally witnessed his mother die in front of him due to her weakness after giving birth. In the Di Clan, he was doted on by everyone. When he was 14 years old, he left home and relied on his incomparable talent to make a name for himself in the business world. Step by step, he built his own business empire.
At this moment, Di Shitian seemed to be in a miraculous state.
Everything that he had experienced since he was young was replaying before his eyes. This was a dream, or perhaps an illusion. All kinds of good and bad things were presented before him. As for Di Shitian himself, he was like a spectator, standing in the clouds and watching quietly.
He realized that he wasn't incapable of action. He had the powerful strength of a Demon and could intervene in the world below at any time. He could easily change the wrong decision and prevent things that shouldn't have happened from never happening. For example, his stepmother, Nangong Xin, and his younger brother.
If he wanted to, he could easily change the tragedy of the battle for the throne that was about to happen.
However, Di Shitian didn't. He continued to watch indifferently as the things that he had experienced before replayed before his eyes time and time again.
"Bang!"
When a gunshot sounded, the scene of being shot in his previous life replayed again.
After the gunshot, the things in front of him suddenly seemed to be in a long river of time, flowing backward rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it returned to the moment when he was born …
Everything that he had experienced in his previous life appeared once before returning to the beginning and continuing to appear in front of his eyes. Repeatedly, in an endless cycle. Reincarnation. It seemed to be deliberately attracting Di Shitian to step in and change something.
His eyes stared blankly at the scene of his previous life, over and over again. Di Shitian remained unmoved. When the cycle repeated nine times, finally, the vicissitudes of life in his eyes became more profound, like a pool of dead silence. He said indifferently, "The past is the past, and cannot be changed. In this life, I am a Demon, and my future will be controlled by me. My life is mine to control, not the heavens. Only I will exist! "
With this sentence, the scene in front of him immediately changed inconceivably. Everything in front of him collapsed in an instant, breaking into countless pieces and entering Di Shitian's body.
"Swish!"
His originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and two threatening rays of light shot out. The aura of solipsism that existed in his body suddenly condensed and became stronger. His gaze was deep, but his heart was exceptionally calm, as if there was something extra. His mind became more determined and unshakable. The Demon Sense in his body seemed to have been refined, becoming more solid and purer. The power of the Demon Sense almost doubled.
"No matter the previous life or the current life, I am me!"
As soon as the voice came out, the world fell silent. Following the sound of the zither, he naturally walked in a direction.
The reason why the zither realm was divided into inner and outer realms was that the outer realm only tested one's will. The zither music that Di Shitian heard earlier was called the Heart Refining Song. When this song was played, it could affect one's mind and outline one's life experience. Then, these memories evolved into a Heart Refining illusion. In the illusion, one could clearly see every detail of one's life since birth.
All kinds of happiness and regret could be clearly seen.
In this illusion, there was almost no difference between the things inside and the reality. It was completely related to one's own past.
In the process of watching one's own past, as long as one's mind was slightly moved and wanted to change something, one's mind would immediately be confused by the illusion, replacing the original mind with the past. At that time, the illusion was not just an illusion, but one's own experience and change. At the same time, one's mind would be immersed in it, gradually unable to distinguish whether it was an illusion or reality. Unable to escape. Naturally, it meant that in this round, it would end in failure. Unless someone woke up with a unique method, one would be immersed in the illusion and unable to extricate themselves.
The true meaning of the Heart Refining illusion was to see through the past, grasp oneself, and even comprehend the future. As long as one could see through the past, one's mind would be cleansed, just like a cultivator suddenly having an epiphany. Naturally, one could break through this Heart Refining illusion. One could obtain great benefits.
"Pata, pata!"
Step by step, he walked forward. At this time, he looked around and found that in the originally empty purple bamboo forest, there were cultivators standing or sitting. These cultivators all had their eyes closed, and their faces were changing all kinds of expressions. It was as if they were cultivating a face changing skill. It was really wonderful.
Most of the people had cold sweat dripping from their foreheads. Obviously, they were deep in the illusion and could no longer distinguish between illusion and reality.
Among the thousands of cultivators who were able to find their way forward with clear eyes, less than a third of them were able to do so. In total, there were only about a thousand of them.
As these cultivators walked forward, there was a faint look of joy on their faces. Obviously, they had obtained great benefits from the Heart Refining song just now.
"Xue Yinyi also saw through the illusion?" Di Shitian casually glanced around and saw Xue Yinyi walking into the zither realm with two servants with a sinister look on his face.
"Well, if you failed in the outer region of the zither realm, it would be really inconvenient for me to make a move on you." Sakra's heart was icy cold. He didn't look any longer and continued to walk forward. Not long after, he passed through this purple bamboo forest and saw that there was an open space in front of him. In the middle of it, there was an elegant ancient pavilion standing upright.
Around the ancient pavilion, there were all kinds of strange flowers and herbs blooming. Waves of fragrance wafted over. It was elegant.
In the pavilion, Elder Di and Elder Xiao, who had entered earlier, were sitting together and casually discussing some matters of music. They saw cultivators gradually walking out of the purple bamboo forest.
Elder Di smiled faintly and said, "Not bad. There are people coming out after six hours. Compared to those who entered in the past, this is much better. I remember that the fastest person to come out last time was eight hours." His expression was full of praise.
Elder Xiao heard this and laughed heartily, "Brother Di, don't you see? More than half of the young geniuses in the nearby cultivation world have gathered here for Niece Kotomi's groom search. Almost all of them are the current elites of the cultivation world. Their aptitudes are at least above average. It is reasonable for them to be able to come out in six hours."
After he finished speaking, he revealed a deep smile and continued, "This time, over a thousand cultivators passed. Although many of them are from clans or sects, there should be a lot of rogue cultivators. When the time comes, perhaps many people will be willing to join my Qin Clan, greatly increasing the foundation of my Qin Clan's younger generation. This is great news for our Qin family. "
Elder Di nodded in agreement.
At this time, those who passed the test of the Heart Refining Song had basically all walked out of the purple bamboo forest and arrived in front of the ancient pavilion. After a rough count, there were only a little over a thousand cultivators left.
Elder Xiao stood up and looked at everyone. He said in a deep voice, "What you have just experienced is our Qin family's unique Heart Refining Song. Those who passed will not only cleanse their minds, they will also be able to see through the miasma. In the future, the chances of inner demons appearing will be greatly reduced. Moreover, your spiritual sense will be tempered once. When you reach the Core Formation realm, there will be no obstacles. As long as you have the aptitude and can accumulate enough True Essence, most of you will be able to reach the Core Formation realm. "
"Now, I would like to ask if anyone is willing to join our Qin family and become a disciple of our Qin family."
His tone was as if they had picked up a great bargain. One had to know that the Heart Refining Song could only be experienced once in a lifetime. It was a rare opportunity. Ordinary outsiders wouldn't have the opportunity to enjoy it.
Alas, I was originally planning to update at midnight today. I believe everyone can tell from the time I updated the first chapter. However, I didn't expect to be stuck while writing this chapter. The pain of being stuck is unbearable. Heavens, for this chapter, I actually sat in front of the computer for four whole hours. Tonight, I will carefully organize my thoughts. Alas, I am sorry everyone. I kept saying I would update more, but I didn't keep my promise. Rest assured, once I clear my thoughts, I will start to fulfill my promise. "
