Asura Mad Emperor

Qinchuan fell silent and frowned. Even Xiaojin didn't know why Wu Yong disappeared?

Wu Yong's cultivation level had reached the Emperor Realm a long time ago, with exceptional powers that were hardly ordinary. In this Lower Realm, it seemed improbable for any accidents to occur, and his silent vanishing act was certainly bizarre and peculiar.

Furthermore, from his previous journey to the Great Wilderness Core and learning about the fall of the demon and spirit emperors, Xiaohei and Xiaokui, he couldn't help but harbor some ominous thoughts.

"What on earth happened during these hundred thousand years?"

Shaking his head, Qinchuan stopped pondering further, patted Xiaojin on the head, and asked Xiaojin to send him out.

Above the Thousand Illusion Tower, the golden light suddenly overflowed, dazzling and brilliant.

A rainbow of gold paved the way, carrying Qinchuan down from the Thousand Illusion Tower.

"He's coming out!"

"He actually made it to the tenth floor of the Thousand Illusion Tower! A gold rainbow path… To my knowledge, has anyone from the Congyun Sect ever achieved this since its establishment?!"

"And… it was the tenth floor of the Thousand Illusion Tower at the Third Layer, Hell Mode level!"

Elder Yuan trembled with excitement, his fingernails digging into his flesh, yet he seemed oblivious to the pain, because the scene before him was too shocking, breaking the ancient records of the Congyun Sect, and even could be said to have created a miracle.

"What the heck? Is this the trial of the Congyun Sect's Thousand Illusion Tower? It doesn't seem to be as difficult as the legends say."

"Brother disciples, were you trying to scare us by saying the Thousand Illusion Tower is extremely difficult?"

Many of the candidates bubbled with excitement at this scene, facing those sect disciples maintaining order with skeptical and disdainful expressions.

Earlier, these Congyun Sect disciples had described the Thousand Illusion Tower as if it were hell itself, terrifying to an extreme, with great difficulty in the examination, and had even said that it would be quite an achievement if two or three thousand out of the twenty thousand candidates passed the examination.

But now, Qinchuan effortlessly cleared the tenth floor of the Thousand Illusion Tower.

This gave the candidates an illusion, making them think the Thousand Illusion Tower wasn't as challenging as the rumors suggested.

Since Qinchuan managed to easily pass the tenth floor, then even at their worst, they could at least make it through five or six floors, right?

Not to mention, the threshold for passing the exam in the Thousand Illusion Tower was merely to withstand more than ten breaths of time on the first floor.

"Damn it! What's going on? I clearly activated the Thousand Illusion Tower's difficulty coefficient to the maximum Hell Mode. With such difficulty, even I am not likely to pass, yet he actually cleared the tenth floor in such a short time?"

"Could it be that there's something wrong with the illusions in the Thousand Illusion Tower, and they have lost their effect over the years?"

Watching Qinchuan descend on the golden rainbow, the center of everyone's attention, the elder in charge of the second round of the Dao Heart examination, Elder Cheng, also had a face full of disbelief, then his gaze flickered, suspecting there might be a problem with the illusions inside the Thousand Illusion Tower.

Because he knew well the terror of the Thousand Illusion Tower, even the normal difficulty was incredibly terrifying, let alone the strongest Hell Mode difficulty?

Even if he were to enter, he wouldn't be able to withstand the Hell Level, so how could Qinchuan, a teen just over a decade old?

Just then, Wu Shanhe arrived at the plaza with Liu Qingyu and, upon seeing the changes in the Thousand Illusion Tower, snorted and said, "No one has ever reached the tenth floor of the Thousand Illusion Tower. How could a mere youth with a cultivation level at the Fourth Layer Peak of the Condensed Truth Realm pass the tenth floor of our Congyun Sect's Thousand Illusion Tower?"

"Elder Cheng, you're responsible for this second round of the Dao Heart examination. Didn't you check the Thousand Illusion Tower before the examination?"

Wu Shanhe glanced at Elder Cheng as he spoke.

"It's the Young Sect Master!"

"The Young Sect Master is right, there must be a malfunction with the Thousand Illusion Tower. Otherwise, how could that boy have passed the Thousand Illusion Tower so easily and calmly?"

```

"So that's how it is, I was wondering when the Thousand Illusion Tower became so easy to overcome..."

The Congyun Sect disciples who were maintaining order in the square, upon seeing Wu Shanhe coming to the square, were initially slightly taken aback, not expecting the Young Sect Master to come here.

Then, after hearing Wu Shanhe's words, everyone tended to agree, feeling that Qinchuan being able to pass through the Thousand Illusion Tower so effortlessly must mean there was a problem with the tower, otherwise it would be impossible to clear it.

After all, they had all undergone the Thousand Illusion Tower assessment themselves and knew full well how difficult it was.

Not just them, even Elder Yuan, who had been so excited just moments ago, calmed down suddenly and furrowed his brows.

He knew that Elder Cheng had adjusted the difficulty of the Thousand Illusion Tower to Hell Level.

With such difficulty, it was simply impossible for anyone to make it through, and even he couldn't do it, yet Qinchuan had passed, which was indeed bewildering and overly suspicious.

Even if Qinchuan had exceptionally superior talents, he still should not have been able to accomplish this feat.

"Could it really be that there's a problem with the Thousand Illusion Tower?" Elder Yuan couldn't help but think.

"A problem with the Thousand Illusion Tower?"

Hearing Wu Shanhe's words, Qinchuan frowned slightly and cast a sidelong glance at Wu Shanhe, "Whether there's a problem with the Thousand Illusion Tower or not, you're more than welcome to go in and check for yourself."

Then, his gaze fell on Elder Cheng, eyes growing colder. When he had fought his way to the fifth floor of the Thousand Illusion Tower, he had clearly felt someone covertly increasing its difficulty, elevating it to Hell Level.

If it had been anyone else in the tower at the Hell Level on the fifth floor, they would probably have been instantly crushed by the terrifying illusions and had their spirit utterly destroyed! Stay updated via empire

By setting the difficulty to the third stage of Hell Mode, they were aiming for his life!

To act against a candidate in such a manner, especially as a sect elder and an assessment elder for the second round, was indicative of a parasite within the sect!

The Congyun Sect was founded by his follower, Wu Yong, in years past.

Therefore, the Congyun Sect was naturally also one of his subsidiary organizations, a sharp sword under his command.

And now, this sword had been gnawed on by parasites, becoming rotten, how could he not be furious?

As a high-ranking individual, the thing he could least tolerate was such parasites!

For this reason, Elder Cheng was already on his list of those in the sect who needed to be dealt with!

Under Qinchuan's glaring stare, Elder Cheng couldn't help but feel alarmed and inexplicably uneasy.

And upon hearing Qinchuan's words, Wu Shanhe's gaze turned sharp, shooting a cold look at Qinchuan, "What did you say?"

"A creature as insignificant as an ant dares to be disrespectful to this Young Sect Master!"

Then, he laughed scornfully, "Boy, don't tell me you actually think my Congyun Sect's Thousand Illusion Tower is that easy to get through?"

"Hmph, if not for a malfunction in the tower this time, resulting in the illusions being ineffective due to age, how could a mere ant like you pass through the Thousand Illusion Tower of my Congyun Sect? Even the first layer, you'd have no chance to overcome!"

"Hahahaha, this kid actually believes he can get through the Thousand Illusion Tower, it's hilarious," laughed Liu Qingyu exaggeratedly beside Wu Shanhe, her eyes filled with mockery.

Wu Shanhe too scoffed coldly, turning to Liu Qingyu, "Liu Qingyu, go and inspect the Thousand Illusion Tower, find out what's wrong with it, so this kid can give up any hope that he's truly passed through my Congyun Sect's Thousand Illusion Tower and succeeded in the Dao Heart assessment!"
