The Almighty Sword Domain

Getting Lost in Illusions?

An hour of time passed in the blink of an eye. After everyone finished resting, Elder Qian who was standing on the platform opened his eyes, and he glanced at the 1,000 youths who stood perpendicular under the platform. When he saw Yang Ye, his gaze paused for a moment before he slightly nodded, and then he said in a clear voice, “The second stage will test your desire against the Dao Sword. Come with me!" As soon as he finished talking, he turned around and walked to the back.

All the youths hurriedly followed him when they heard this. Moreover, not only were the 1,000 youths, and even the others who were knocked out also followed. Even though they had been eliminated, their Sword Sect still allowed them to stay behind and watch.

"Illusion Form?" The young man with the black mole smirked as he followed along as well, and all the other disciples behind hurriedly followed him.

In a short moment, they all arrived before an enormous camouflage colored light ring under the lead of Elder Qian. The camouflage colored light ring was huge, and it was fine to accommodate several thousand people. All sorts of symbols flickered within the halo, and these symbols moved according to a certain path.

"So, this is an Illusion Formation!" Yang Ye spoke in a light voice as he stared at the ring of light in front of him.

He had heard of Illusory Formations in the past. Supposedly, it was established by the Formation Master of the Sword Sect in the past, and even had many symbols with strange functions inscribed by the Talisman Master. Because of these symbols, one would enter into an illusion while standing in a halo. So, it was called an Illusion Formation.

However, the illusion created by this Illusion Formation was different from the illusion created by the bracelet he gave Su Qingshi. Since this Illusion Formation was only testing one's will, and the injuries one experienced in the illusion would not carry over into reality. On the other hand, the bracelet he gave Su Qingshi would cause one to suffer heavy injuries as well!

Elder Qian turned around and looked at everyone while saying, “This formation is called an Illusion Formation. From the moment the formation was activated, those who were unable to wake up after the three burning incense sticks would be eliminated. Login now!”

Hearing this, the 1,000 youths hurriedly entered the ring, and then they waited for the arrival of the illusion.

After he saw they had all entered the ring, Elder Qian said in a low voice, “Remember, everything is an illusion!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and a talisman flew into the sky above the ring. The next second, the symbols on the blue rings began to circulate at a high speed.

The sky and earth around him revolved as the scene before Yang Ye's eyes changed, and as he looked at the scene that appeared before his eyes, Yang Ye's eyes immediately turned red.

It was a familiar city, a familiar street, a familiar stone house. It was all familiar to him. This was Southpeace City, and this stone house in front of him was the one he had known since he was young.

He was very familiar with all of this, and he would not even get lost while walking with his eyes closed.

Yang Ye slowly walked towards the long wooden bench in front of the stone house. As he looked at her, his gaze gradually became wet. In the past, Yang Ye, his mother, and his little sister often sat here. Her mother would sit in the middle of sewing while letting her and her younger sister massage her legs.

After a while, his gaze moved upwards, and on the wall was a mural drawn with charcoal. When he saw this image, there was warmth in Yang Ye's heart, and his eyes grew wetter. The picture was of a young girl with pigtails holding the hand of a boy. The young girl was exactly her younger sister, Little Yao, and the boy was naturally her. However, someone had pulled two pigtails on the boy's head, causing the boy to become a young girl.

This image was drawn by none other than Yang Ye himself, while the pigtail on the boy's head was a joke that Little Yao played.

Crunch!

Just at that moment, the wooden door of the stone clock suddenly opened, and then a young girl of about 15 years old and a woman of about 30 years old came out from inside the house.

The young girl's hair was tied into pigtails, and she was wearing a very old yet very clean dress. He had willow-leaf shaped eyebrows, lively eyes, and a nice nose. Although her clothes were old, they could not hide her beautiful appearance.

The woman was also wearing an old dress, but it was also very clean. The woman was about 30 years old, had willow-shaped eyebrows, narrowed eyes, an oval-shaped face, and a large, soft figure. However, his face and hands were already carrying traces of age and difficulty. Especially his hands, the thick layer of calluses in his hands could be seen from a great distance away.

When the young girl saw Yang Ye, her eyes lit up, and then became red. He immediately ran to Yang Ye and hugged her tightly while saying, “Sister, why are you only back now? Why you...” As he spoke, he was already suffocated by sobs.

Yang Ye's hands remained stiff in the air for a long time, and his hands finally descended onto the young girl's back when she felt tears in her chest. After which, Yang Ye said involuntarily. “Isn't Brother back now? No cry. Little Yao's face will swell and become ugly if you continue to cry.”

“I don't care, I don't care. It's your fault for not coming back for two years! It's all your fault! I will cry and fill you with guilt!!” The young girl's head drew closer to Yang Ye's embrace as she cried and spoke.

Meanwhile, the beautiful woman walked towards Yang Ye, then she stretched out her hand to rub her head. After which, he touched his face while revealing an affectionate expression, and he said in a soft voice, “You must have suffered in the Sword Sect all these years. It's good that you're back now, I'll make your favorite sour sweet pig later.”

"Mother!" Yang Ye felt like there was a lump in his throat, and his eyes were wet again. He said, “You really suffered during these years. Don't worry, from today onwards, I won't let you and Little Yao have any more trouble. I promise!"

"NO. I don't!” Meanwhile, Little Yao raised her head and refuted.

As they stared at Little Yao whose crystal tears were still loudly hanging on her face, the woman and Yang Ye immediately started to smile.

In reality, only Yang Ye was left inside the blue ring. Others have woken up or are completely lost in illusions.

At this moment, the gazes of the several thousand people around him had descended towards Yang Ye who was standing within the ring. Some looked down on, some enjoyed Yang Ye's misfortune, some were curious, and so on.

Elder Qian glanced at the incense burner on the stone table in front of the ring of light. The last incense inside the burner was already halfway to the end, and Yang Ye was still not awake, causing Elder Qian to be unable to help but clench his fists. At the same time, he was very confused in his heart. He was very clearly aware of Yang Ye's will, and it was something that had been forged from a young age. Moreover, after Yang Ye arrived at the Sword Sect, Yang Ye had fallen from heaven straight to hell, yet Yang Ye still had not given up. So, how could it possibly be that weak?

It definitely could not be considered weak, yet why was Yang Ye not awake yet? Moreover, if Yang Ye really fell into an illusion, then he should have already been eliminated. However, Yang Ye was still standing there with an extremely calm expression, and Elder Qian was wondering what the reason behind this was.

Only elder Qian was confused, even Feng Yu and Cao Huo were confused and confused because it was too unreasonable!

The young man with the black mole looked at Yang Ye as he said in a low voice, "He's a little interesting!"

The young man with a round face nodded and said, “Indeed!”

When he heard the two of them, Liu Qingyu who was standing behind them laughed coldly. Of interest? People like this who have weak wills are indeed attractive.

At the same time, he felt a little regret that he agreed to fight Yang Ye after three months because such trash was not worth fighting against him.

Unwittingly, another quarter of the incense sticks had burned, and only the last quarter was left, yet Yang Ye still had not woken up.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan who closed his eyes and rested his mind at the side suddenly opened his eyes. He walked up to Elder Qian and cupped his fists towards Elder Qian before he said, “ Elder Qian, in my opinion, this person has been immersed in an illusion, he said, and he did not have the qualifications to become a disciple of the Sword Sect any longer. He should be put away.”

Initially, he felt a slight anticipation towards Yang Ye's result, yet he could resist the disappointment when he saw Yang Ye trapped in the illusion for so long. Because people with weak desires like this do not have the ability to act as a contrast to it.

“Enter him! Get rid of him! On what basis does he keep us all waiting?”

“To be exact, why would the Sword Sect recruit someone with weak desires like him? To do odd jobs?”

“Doing odd jobs? Could it be that you don't know? That young man was the Labour Disciple of the Sword Sect. Supposedly, he had been recruited as an Outer Court Disciple in the past, yet no one had imagined that he would truly be unable to become an Profound after a year. In the end, he was revealed to be a Labor Disciple, and he even got the nickname of the number one trash in the Sword Sect!”

"What's? He really is a Labour Student? Eliminate him! Eliminate Him! I don't want to be a fellow disciple of such a person!”

“To be exact, I would be ashamed to tell anyone that I am a disciple of the Sword Sect if I was a fellow disciple of such a person.”.

For a time, the originally desolate area suddenly became boisterous, and it was not only the youths who had passed this stage that called for Yang Ye's elimination, either, even the youths who were knocked out at the side also did the same.

The young men who passed called for Yang Ye's elimination because they were ashamed of being the same sect disciples as Yang Ye, whereas, the young men who were knocked out were mostly making a fuss because they had the mentality that since they were eliminated then others would have to do so as well.

Elder Qian looked at Jiang Yuan coldly. If Jiang Yuan was not the first to awaken from the illusion and had reached the ninth rank of the Mortal Realm at 16 years old, Elder Qian would have scolded him without the slightest hesitation. However, when Elder Qian thought about Jiang Yuan's natural talent, he could only contain the anger in his heart. He did not glance at Jiang Yuan anymore and turned his gaze in the other direction as he said, “Silence! The Sword Sect has its own rules! Since the rule was three incense sticks of time, then it was three incense sticks of time. Just wait, and if you don't want to wait, get out!

When they saw Elder Qian blazing, they all instantly did not dare to continue speaking, and they were all speechless. No matter what, they still did not have the ability to go against the Outer Court Elder right now.

Jiang Yuan was also shocked in his heart. He knew that he had offended the Outer Court Elder standing before him. However, he became indifferent in the blink of an eye. He believed that as long as he revealed his trump card, then many elders would try to tie him up, and when he thought up to here, it was the case, Jiang Yuan pulled himself aside while the gaze he directed at Yang Ye turned into hostility.
