Chapter Eleven: All Appearance and No Substance

iao Yun were completely unaffected. They exchanged glances and then accelerated their attacks.Seeing this, Master Feng's face finally looked a little better, and much of his anger had been released. F...Looking at Huo Yuan's nonchalant demeanor, Tang Yi couldn't help but snort coldly and say, "He must have already consulted the Asking Mirror beforehand, that's why he's so sure!"

Tang Yi's words suddenly made everyone realize. Although asking mirrors are rare, some wealthy families can still get them.

At this moment, Huo Yuan had already walked to the front of the mirror and stopped.

It was strange to say the least, but as Huo Yuan came to a standstill, the mist on the mirror surface, after a brief pause, actually began to churn violently.

“You did it! Everyone else, hurry up and take your turn!”

In Xiao Yi's words, Huo Yuan walked triumphantly to one side. Two rounds passed, representing that he was at least an outer disciple of the Wudao Sect.

With Huo Yuan's successful demonstration, others naturally became eager to try as well. One by one, they lined up and eagerly approached the Five Facets Mirror.

Although there were many people, the response of the mirror was also extremely quick. Basically, as soon as someone stepped forward, the mist on the mirror surface would immediately present a moving or static state.

Ginger Cloud naturally also stood in the ranks, watching as some people were happy and some were worried. His heart couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Following the previous person's success in causing the mist to flow, it was finally Jiang Yun's turn.

Quietly taking a deep breath, Gingercloud stood before the asking mirror.

Changes are brewing again!

"Boom!"

As Gingercloud had just taken a stance, a deafening roar erupted suddenly, and the Mirror of Inquiry shattered with a blinding flash!

Standing before the mirror, Jiang Yun was caught off guard. The impact of the mirror exploding sent him flying backward and tumbling through the air.

The entire Temple of Inquiry is deathly silent!

Everyone stared at Jiang Yun, who had fallen heavily to the ground, as if they were looking at a monster.

If Jiang Yun's performance in the first round could be described as a surprise, then this time, it's definitely not something that can be explained by luck.

Standing before the mirror of questions, it was actually able to shatter the mirror of questions, such a situation had never happened before.

After all, although everything has a Taoist heart, there are many that cannot condense a Taoist spirit. Without a Taoist spirit, at most it is only to keep the mist on the mirror of questioning Dao still.

This is a test.

If every person who cannot gather a spiritual essence stands before the Dao mirror and causes it to shatter, then any sect that accepts disciples would have to prepare at least a thousand Dao mirrors during recruitment.

Gingercloud, falling to the ground, was naturally still baffled. However, he could keenly sense that at the moment he fell, at least five or six pairs of invisible eyes descended from the sky, focusing on his body and examining him thoroughly, inside and out.

Feeling those gazes finally leave his body, Jiang Yun quietly let out a breath and lowered his head to look at the black triangular stone hanging from his chest!

Just as I stood before the mirror, a faint light seemed to flash across the stone. Then, the explosion happened and I was thrown back.

But now it seems, there's no light emanating from this stone at all. It's just an inanimate object, so much so that Jiang Yun suspects he must have been mistaken just now.

After an eerie silence, the crowd finally came to their senses and began to chatter excitedly.

"What's going on"

"I don't know, could this beastskin kid be a prodigy"

"What a load of crap about innate talent!" Huo Yuan's dismissive voice rang out once again: "It's simple, this kid's aptitude is simply too bad, even the Dao Mirror couldn't bear it, so it just exploded itself!"

Although Huo Bo Yuan was joking, many people have to admit that it's not impossible.

Xiao Yishou suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Quiet down, everyone else continue in four lines. That little guy, you first exit the square!"

For Jiang Yun, Xiao Yishu was apparently speechless. Although he had questioned Jing with a hint of anger, after all, Jiang Yun didn't do it on purpose, so it was not good to make him compensate. He could only wait and see what happened.

Ginger silently got to her feet and walked out of the square without a word.

It seemed like Ginger Cloud wasn't paying any attention to Huo Yuan's words, but in reality, his heart had sunk to the bottom. This was because he remembered what his grandfather had said to him more than once: "You're not a true member of our Ginger Village. Your physique is not suitable for our village's cultivation methods."

"Grandfather, it seems my constitution is simply not suited to any cultivation method!"

At this moment, Ginger Cloud suddenly felt that grandpa might have been lying to her!

He let himself come to this Qidao sect, probably his true purpose is to keep himself away from the threat of Feng Wuji and Fengcun!

As soon as this thought came to him, Jiang Yun suddenly felt a bit disheartened and even wanted to leave immediately and return to the Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains. However, thinking of Feng Wuji's five-year vow of life and death, thinking of the many family members in Jiang Village, and thinking of his own origins, he finally gritted his teeth because there was still one last hurdle, at least, there was still a glimmer of hope.

"Do you want to practice Taoism"

Just then, a slightly raspy voice suddenly rang in Jiang Yun's ear.

Ginger's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed the sound. To her surprise, a young man had appeared beside her at some point.

This man was wearing a long blue tunic and looked to be in his twenties. Although his appearance was unremarkable and there was nothing outstanding about him, for some reason, Jiang Yun felt a sense of familiarity towards him. After a moment's thought, he replied, "Yes!"

Young people smiled and nodded, "Want to cultivate the Tao, it's a good thing!"

"Unfortunately, I've already failed two rounds!"

"Actually, you needn't worry about this so-called three-stage assessment. Such an assessment method is superficial and unreliable, with inaccurate results!"

These words made Jiang Yun startle slightly. He asked, what standard did Zong use to assess his disciples According to the other party, it was just superficial and empty

The young man continued, "Take the second level as an example. Dao spirit is the foundation of cultivation. Only by condensing a Dao spirit can one truly be considered qualified to seek the Dao. Such an important thing cannot be seen simply by looking through a broken mirror!"

Though Jiang Yun wholeheartedly wished to cultivate the Dao, his understanding of cultivation was close to nothing. So when he heard this young man's words, he couldn't help but be half-believing and half-doubting as he said, "So you're saying that even if I can't pass these three trials, I can still cultivate the Dao"

Of course you can! There are countless paths to the great road, there's definitely one that suits you!

Ginger Cloud's heart skipped a beat, she still wanted to ask something, but just at that moment, the second round of assessment had already ended. And this time, only over seventy people had passed, among them, only seven people managed to clear two rounds consecutively!

Daozong's five disciples, with a wave of their hands, put away the remaining four-sided Dao mirrors. Xiao Yishu then spoke: "The next level is the final examination. This level tests whether you possess Dao body!"

Ginger Cloud's spirit also lifted slightly. Although he didn't know what a Dao body was, he figured it had something to do with the body. And even though he lacked a Dao heart and couldn't condense a Dao spirit, his physical prowess was extraordinary. Perhaps there was still a chance he could pass this test.

I just don't know how to pass this physical challenge!Venerable.Da Han Mian had no expression and didn't speak. He directly punched towards Jiang Yun.The appearance of the Great Han was seen by most as some kind of divine ability belonging to Huangfu Jin...
