Bai Zihua watched as Shao Yue helped Hua Qiangu back to his room. He took out the brocade box containing the Life Checking Stone. There were three Life Checking Stones inside, two gold and one purple. Hua Qiangu was still his Life and Death Tribulation. What was the solution to it, and how could he find it? Bai Zihua sighed slightly and slowly closed the brocade box. However, the moment he closed it, he suddenly saw the golden light on his Life Verification Stone transfer to Little Yue's Life Verification Stone bit by bit. Bai Zihua was shocked and hurriedly opened the brocade box. However, it was still the same as before. There was no change. He did not believe that his eyes were playing tricks on him. What was going on?
Three days later, when Shao Yue was preparing to go to the immortal prison, Hua Qiangu came over and asked,"Master, how will you punish Mantian?”
Shao Yue knew what Hua Qiangu was worried about." Little Gu, do you still think Mantian is a friend?”
" Yes." Hua Qiangu nodded." I know Mantian doesn't want to be friends with me anymore, but I'll just treat her as a friend."”
Shaoyue patted her shoulder." Don't worry. I'm only testing her. I won't punish her."”
Hua Qiangu smiled comfortably." Thank you, Master!”
"Cultivate well," Shao Yue instructed.”After saying that, he flew out of the Hall of Unrequited Love. Hua Qiangu looked at Shao Yue's receding figure and shouted,"I understand, Master!"
Shao Yue came to the front of the immortal prison and with a wave of her hand, the door opened. Ni Mantian saw that it was the Sword Saint and quickly knelt down respectfully," Disciple greets the Sword Saint!”
"Mantian, do you repent?"
"I know I was wrong, please punish me.”Ni Mantian apologized.
" I won't punish you." Ni Mantian looked up at Shaoyue in confusion." I said that I will test you. If you pass, I will let you out."”
"Please enlighten me, Sword Saint."
Shao Yue stretched out her hand and conjured an illusion. Ni Mantian was in it and looked around. She asked curiously,"Isn't this Changliu Inn? Why am I here?"
After that was the sword fight in the northern wind, Hua Qiangu's reminder, and so on. Wasn't this when she had just arrived at Changliu? Then, just like before, she became friends with Hua Qiangu and successfully became a permanent disciple. Later, Hua Qiangu's identity as the sect master was exposed. She was very angry and jealous, so she broke off her relationship with Hua Qiangu. Then, at the Sword and Fairy Competition, she and Hua Qiangu fought for the title of champion just to be the Supreme One's disciple. Later, she clearly won, but the Supreme One exposed her unfair victory. When the Supreme One took Hua Qiangu as his disciple, she was even more furious. However, he was one generation younger than Hua Qiangu. Hence, she and Yin Shangpiao worked together to harm Hua Qiangu. After being discovered by Shuofeng, she killed Yin Shangpiao. After that, Hua Qiangu sacrificed Shuofeng and killed her father in order to gather the divine weapons from all directions to save the Supreme One. She hated Hua Qiangu even more. After she became the sect master of Penglai, she led the crowd to kill Hua Qiangu. Later, he ruined Hua Qiangu's appearance and asked the Blessed One to drive her out of Changliu and banish her to the Wilderness. After that, Hua Qiangu returned and she killed Candy Baby. Hua Qiangu was furious and became a Fey God. Bai Zihua cut off his right arm because he broke the sect rules. After Hua Qiangu became a Yao God, she was captured by Hua Qiangu's subordinates. Unable to bear the torture, she chose to commit suicide.
Ni Mantian suddenly woke up, and cold sweat kept appearing on her forehead. She looked around and realized that this was the Immortal Prison. Right, the Sword Saint wanted to test her, and then…she asked in confusion,"Sword Saint, this is…"
" This is an illusion that I created." Shao Yue only demonstrated the contents of the original plot once. Of course, she erased the plot where Hua Qiangu fell in love with Bai Zihua." How do you feel in the illusion?”WWw.5Wx.ORG
Ni Mantian wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and swallowed," I hate Hua Qiangu inside and resent the injustice of the Heavenly Dao. I don't understand why everyone is surrounding Hua Qiangu when I'm clearly stronger than her.”
"Mantian, in your eyes, what kind of power is this?”
"It means…he's more powerful than anyone else and invincible.”
" There is no strongest in this world, only stronger. Everyone has their weaknesses and inadequacies. When we face these, you can truly become stronger." Shaoyue squatted down and pointed at Ni Mantian's heart." You can only become stronger if you defeat yourself!"”
"Sword Saint, I…"
"Mantian, do you still remember how you felt in the illusion?”
Ni Mantian nodded," I don't know why, but I can't control the hatred in my heart. These emotions seem to come out of nowhere and drown me.”
Shao Yue was meditating in front of her. Ni Mantian quickly sat down when she saw this. Shao Yue said,"I will teach you the Clear Heart Mantra. When you are unable to control the greed, anger, obsession, hatred, and resentment in your heart, recite this mantra to calm yourself down. Then, look at the people and things in front of you. You will find that the situation is completely different from before.”
Ni Mantian nodded," Yes, Sword Saint!”
" If the heart is as clear as ice, even if the sky falls, it will not be shocked…" Shao Yue recited a few sentences, and Ni Mantian followed suit. Whenever she was puzzled, Ni Mantian would ask Shao Yue for advice, and Shao Yue would also help her to clear her doubts one by one until she completely mastered the Heart Clearing Formula.
"How is it?" Shao Yue asked.
Ni Mantian opened her eyes," Supreme Sword, I feel different. I don't feel as strong as before.”
Shao Yue nodded her head in relief. It seemed like Ni Mantian could still fix it." Think about the scene in the illusion.”
"I don't seem to hate him as much anymore." Ni Mantian said.
Shao Yue looked at Ni Mantian and stretched out her hand to send her into the illusion again. When she entered the illusion, she would sink into it and forget that she had entered this illusion before. She would also forget the scene inside and that she was in the immortal prison with the Sword Saint. She would only think of herself as Ni Mantian in the illusion.
This time, Ni Mantian's ending was the same. She committed suicide because she could not bear the torture anymore. However, unlike the first illusion, she did not destroy Hua Qiangu's face this time. Shao Yue stood up and said to Ni Mantian,"You should practice the Heart Clearing Formula properly. I'll come again tomorrow."”
"Yes, Sword Saint!" Ni Mantian bowed respectfully. She understood the Sword Saint's intention. He wanted her to abandon her own selfish thoughts, so she worked even harder to cultivate the Clear Heart Formula.
The next day, Shao Yue placed Ni Mantian into the illusion as usual. Judging from her choice, she did not cheat in the Sword and Fairy Meet this time. On the third day, she didn't join forces with Yin Shangpiao. On the fourth day, she did not assume that Hua Qiangu was the murderer because of Ni Qianzhang's death. Ni Mantian changed a little every day until Ni Mantian did not kill Candy Treasure or harm Hua Qiangu out of jealousy. Only then did Shao Yue let Ni Mantian out.
Ni Mantian's arrogance had disappeared. Although she was still a little arrogant, it was due to her competitive personality. She already knew what she should do and what she shouldn't do. Ni Mantian was very grateful to the Sword Saint," Thank you for your guidance."”
"Mantian, the path of cultivation is to have a pure heart and few desires. Don't be too obsessed.”
"Yes, Sword Saint!" Ni Mantian saw that Shao Yue was about to leave and finally mustered her courage to ask," Supreme Sword…"
Shaoyue turned around and looked at her in confusion." Hm?”
"I…If there's anything I don't understand, can I still go to the Sword Saint to clear my doubts?”Ni Mantian said nervously.
Shaoyue nodded." Of course. I'm duty-bound to teach the disciples who stay for a long time.”
Ni Mantian revealed a comfortable smile as she looked at Shaoyue's receding figure. She stretched out her arms and felt as if she had been reborn. This feeling was so relaxing, and she was no longer suffocating like before.
While Shao Yue was teaching Ni Mantian, the entire Changliu was talking about how Shao Yue would punish Ni Mantian. Huo Xi and Wu Qing Luo started betting again. Huo Xi bet that Shao Yue would punish Ni Mantian severely, while Wu Qing Luo bet that Shao Yue would not punish her. The two of them paid attention to the Immortal Prison every day, and so did the other disciples.
One day, Shao Yue had just returned to the Hall of Unrequited Love when Mo Yan came over. He asked,"Junior Sister, why did you lock Ni Mantian up in the Immortal Prison for so long?”
"Senior Brother Yan, don't worry. I won't punish her. I just want to eliminate the desire in her heart.”Shao Yue said truthfully.
"Desire?" Moyan looked at Shao Yue in confusion. Then, he remembered Shao Yue's usual style and exclaimed," Junior Sister, are you…teaching Ni Mantian?”
Shaoyue thought about it and felt that it was about the same. She nodded." Yes, the obsession that filled the sky is too deep. If it's not eliminated in time, it'll be detrimental to her future cultivation.”
"But, you can let her out and teach her, why must she stay in the immortal prison?”
"Although the immortal prison is used to imprison disciples who have made mistakes, it is a quiet place that can prevent the sky from being disturbed by the outside world. She is too concerned about the surrounding environment, so she is always jealous.”
Moyan nodded." Since Junior Sister has said so, then I have nothing to say."”
One day, Hua Qiangu had just stepped out of the Heartless Palace when he bumped into a disciple from his batch. Qing Shui was the first to see her and waved at her happily." Qiangu, here, here!"”
Hua Qiangu walked over." What are you guys doing? Why are they all here?"
Qing Shui explained," We were all discussing how the Sword Saint was going to punish Ni Mantian. However, it has been a few days. The Sword Saint only locked her up in the immortal prison without any instructions. Sigh, what do you think the Sword Saint is trying to do?"”
"That's right, that's right. Qian Gu, aren't you Sword Saint's disciple? Didn't you hear how the Sword Saint was going to punish Ni Mantian?”Wu Qing Luo hurriedly stepped forward and asked. This was related to her gamble.
"That's right, that's right. Qian Gu, quickly tell us.”Huo Xi quickly agreed. Recently, he had always lost to Wu Qing Luo. This time, he had to win.
"Ah?" Hua Qiangu shook his head." I heard Master say that." The other disciples gathered around when they heard that. Huo Xi and Wu Qingluo stared at her with wide eyes, waiting for her to continue. Hua Qiangu looked around and continued," Master said that he would not punish Mantian. He said that he wanted to test her."”
"What? No way, did I lose again?" Huo Xi said dejectedly. Wu Qing Luo laughed and pointed at Huo Xi," Huo Xi, just wash my clothes for a month, haha..."
"Test?" Qing Shui asked. Qian Gu, what did the Sword Saint want to test Ni Mantian for?”
" This…" Hua Qiangu shook his head." I'm not sure either. Master didn't tell me."”
Huo Xi and Wu Qing Luo were quarreling, and the surrounding disciples were laughing at them. Then, Huo Xi suddenly shouted,"Wu Qing Luo, do you dare to bet again?”
" Yes, why not?" Wu Qing Luo raised her chin," Speak!”
"Let's bet on when Ni Mantian will come out. I bet within a month.”Huo Xi quickly said.
Wu Qing Luo patted Huo Xi's shoulder and said straightforwardly,"Good! Then I'll bet more than a month." The two of them clapped their hands and the bet was set.
In the end, Ni Mantian came out just a month later. Huo Xiye exclaimed that he had finally won once. He shouted,"Thank you, Sword Saint!" Wu Qing Luo bit her lip and stomped her feet, feeling a little unwilling. Why was it only one day away…
Ni Mantian saw Hua Qiangu in front of her the moment she exited the prison. Hua Qiangu stepped forward and said,""Sky…"
Ni Mantian looked at Hua Qiangu. The hatred she had for her seemed to have disappeared from a lifetime ago. Ni Mantian said calmly,"Why are you here?"
"Master said that you came out today, so I came to see you.”
"Sword Saint?" Ni Mantian smiled," I see. Now that you've finished reading, I'll be leaving."”
Hua Qiangu looked at Ni Mantian strangely, feeling that she was different from before." Mantian, you…"
"Hua Qiangu, even though I don't hate you anymore, I still can't let go of the fact that you acknowledged the Sword Saint as your master. Of course, I brought this upon myself and I will bear the consequences. But from now on, I will work hard in my cultivation. I hope that you can do the same and don't bring shame to the Sword Saint.”Ni Mantian said arrogantly. She could guess that the reason why the Sword Saint did this was probably because of Hua Qiangu. However, she would not blame them. If all of this had not happened, she would not have been reborn. Right now, she only wanted to focus on cultivation.
