CHAPTER 97: 2) PROGRESS.

Wa Ti Ning,

Wa Ti Ning’s body is like the lotus, unsoiled by the muddiest waters. Her skin is jade-like, her eyes the color of the finest azure silk, and her hair cascades like a waterfall of moonlit obsidian. The golden belt around her waist accentuates her lithe figure, drawing the eye to her delicate form.

She had collected around a few hundred treasures as she wasn’t a master at summoning pets to help her.

[ 1. Who is the most beautiful creature in the world? ]

"Me." Her answer came without hesitation. A flower admires its own reflection, for no other bloom can match its splendor.

[ Correct ]

Jade fairies are the beautiful.

[ 2. How to avoid calamity? ]

"By submitting to the will of those more powerful, of course," she answered, her voice as smooth as silk. "Just as the willow bends to avoid being snapped by the wind."

[ Correct. May the heavens guide you. ]

Lu Qingyan,

Lu Qingyan’s face is as fair and unblemished as freshly fallen snow, a perfect canvas upon which her emotions play out. Her long, silken hair flows freely down her back like a dark waterfall, and her eyes are as sharp as the finest blade, capable of dissecting even the most complex of situations. She is a vision of grace and elegance.

She collected a lot of treasures as she used her light ability to scan through the entire area.

[ 1. Can you gain enlightenment through debauchery? ]

"Yes," she replied. "The body and mind are intertwined. To truly understand the world, one must embrace all experiences, including those of the flesh."

The lotus flower blooms most vibrantly when nurtured by both sun and soil.

[ Correct ]

[ 2. Is there such a thing as true loyalty? ]

"Yes, there is. True loyalty is demonstrated through unwavering support, regardless of the challenges one faces. It is standing by those who have stood by you," she said.

[ Correct. The road to heaven is paved with good deeds. ]

Jia Mei,

Jia Mei’s face is a masterpiece of nature’s artistry, her skin as flawless as the first blush of dawn. Her eyes are pools of liquid emerald, shining with a radiant warmth. Her body is a symphony of curves, a delicate balance of softness and strength, like a willow tree swaying gently in the breeze.

She had a lot of barrier techniques thus she had collected a few treasures.

[ 1. Is it possible to gain enlightenment through lust? ]

"Yes," Jia Mei answered, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "The heat of passion can ignite the flame of knowledge, just as the friction of bodies can create the spark of understanding."

The lotus blooms most vibrantly in the muddiest of ponds, its beauty unsoiled by its surroundings.

[ Correct ]

2. Can greed lead to enlightenment?

"Yes," she said with a nod. "Greed drives us to seek more, to push beyond our limits, and in that relentless pursuit, one can find enlightenment."

The fire that burns within, fuels the journey to the heavens.

[ Correct. Greed is the root of success. ]

Yi Xin Xue,

Yi Xin Xue’s face is a portrait of ethereal beauty, her skin as pale and luminous as the moon. Her long, raven-black hair cascades down her back, framing her delicate features and accentuating her slender figure. Her eyes are like pools of the deepest night sky, filled with vast wisdom and unparalleled grace.

She had used her sword energy to scan and collect many treasures, especially the ones in the air.

[ 1. How to achieve true happiness? ]

"By embracing one’s desires and pursuing them with passion," Yi Xin Xue answered with a smile. "True happiness comes from within, and it is only by embracing our true nature that we can find fulfillment." A flower blooms most beautifully when it embraces the sun’s warmth and the nourishing rainfall.

[ Correct ]

2.[ 2. Is it possible to achieve immortality through Dual Cultivation? ]

"Yes," Yi Xin Xue said with a soft chuckle. "The union of bodies can lead to the union of spirits, and in that sacred act, one can transcend mortality."

The dance of yin and yang is the essence of life itself.

[ Correct. Do not forget to pay homage to the heavenly father. ]

Ling’er,

Ling’er’s face is like a delicate porcelain doll, her skin pale and flawless. Her lips are cherry-red and inviting, her hair a cascade of silken blackness that frames her heart-shaped face. Her eyes are sharp and observant, always analyzing and calculating. Her figure is slender yet alluring.

She had also used her golden eyes to scan the forest and collect many treasures.

[ 1. How does one truly understand the Dao? ]

"By immersing oneself in all aspects of existence," Ling’er replied. "One must experience life in all its forms, from the depths of depravity to the heights of enlightenment, to truly comprehend the Dao." The lotus flower is not tainted by the mud that nourishes it.

[ Correct. To understand the whole, you must first understand the part. ]

[ 2. What is true freedom? ]

"True freedom is the ability to choose one’s own path, without constraint or obligation," she said. "It is the power to shape one’s own destiny, unbound by the chains of society or expectation."

The eagle soars highest when it breaks free from the shackles of the earth.

[ Correct. ]

[May Buddha be awake, may life be soft. ]

And, that’s all. All of the team members passed the trials and ascended to trial 22.

"Help!!!" As soon as they reached above, a man was running that them being chased by an early stage of grade 5 beast.

Zhao Fan simply raised his finger and the man instantly turned into blood mist. Seeing this, the beast stopped. It tried to run away but the space trembled and a giant demonic hand descended breaking apart the sky.

Bang!

The beast was killed instantly.

"The monk sees once, attacks twice... Check his jade token. And grab the beast’s core." Zhao Fan sat on the ground and ordered.

His body began to glow as bright as the sun while a small soul figure came out from his body.

This is the secondary soul, the ability of nascent soul cultivators.
