But whether you can seize this opportunity depends on yourself.

Yu Ze withdrew his gaze.

He slowly stretched out his hand and looked at his palm.

Gene lock, a miracle of the human body, is also the first step towards becoming an immortal.

In the past, when he was in heaven, he had also opened the six genetic locks.

Each genetic lock means that the quality of future cultivation can be improved by one level.

Except for special beings like Baiyin who could sleep their way to becoming a third-grade saint, most cultivators open their gene locks before practicing.

"Yu Ze, hurry up, we are going to the next level!"

Chang Qingxuan, who had already reached the exit of the passage, shouted, which directly attracted the examinees who were still struggling to walk towards the exit of the passage.

They all looked at the three people in disbelief, as if they couldn't understand why these three people had been struggling forward just like them just now, but now they were full of energy.

"I didn't expect that the gene lock would be opened like this. The suffering I endured this time is worth it."

Looking at Yu Ze approaching, Chang Qingxuan couldn't help but grin, with a hint of surprise still in his eyes.

That's true. He originally just wanted to join in the fun and had even planned to give up this assessment.

But I didn't expect that it would actually open the first genetic lock in my body.

"Did classmate Yu Ze just open his gene lock?" Bai Ruixuan suddenly asked with some doubt.

She always felt something was wrong. Just now, when Yu Ze stepped into the void illusion with them, he didn't seem to be feeling any unwell.

Can't we generalize between people?

Yu Ze nodded gently: "I'm luckier, so I opened it earlier."

Seeing Bai Ruixuan still had a look of doubt on her face, Yu Ze was about to say something, but at this moment, Chang Qingxuan immediately smiled and said, "Let's talk while we walk. I am now confident that I can handle the second level of the Void Illusion Trial."

"Opening the gene lock only gives you the opportunity to practice, but it doesn't mean you can use spiritual energy now."

Yu Ze had to remind him.

"I understand, I understand. But after unlocking the first gene lock, my body will be stronger than that of an ordinary person, right? That's enough!"

While talking, they walked out of the exit of the passage unknowingly.

Unconsciously, Chang Qingxuan's voice seemed to fade away gradually, until it finally disappeared...

Everything in front of him changed at this moment. When Yu Ze looked up, he saw the dark sky, the vast land, the lush green forest, and a path with no end in sight.

The cold wind brought raindrops down, and clusters of bright gentian flowers on both sides of the path exuded a hazy beauty in the fog and rain.

Chang Qingxuan, who was talking just now, disappeared, and Bai Ruixuan was nowhere to be seen either.

At this moment, it seemed as if Yu Ze was the only one left in the world.

This is the second level of the test...?

Yu Ze walked deeper along the path with doubts in his heart.

Faintly, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.

That was the clear and pleasant voice of a young girl. She called softly, "This way..."

"Master... over here..."

The voice seemed to reveal a thousand years of longing, as if it could infect emotions, making people involuntarily follow the direction of the voice.

The paper lanterns hanging on both sides lit up quietly, making the originally dark path exceptionally bright.

Yu Ze walked through the path and finally came to the end of it, where he saw the small house in the rain.

Candles were lit in the house, adding a touch of warmth.

But the voice that had just called Yu Ze had already disappeared.

Just when Yu Ze was still in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening from the small house in front of him.

He subconsciously looked up and saw someone gently pushing open the door from inside the house...

Chapter 30 Face fear and suppress Ji Ningshuang?

In the empty fantasy world, filled with rain and fog, there is a small house standing in the forest, with pavilions, waterside terraces, and flowing water.

Bright gentian flowers are blooming all around, dotted with green trees, and the scenery is charming.

Not far away, there is a pond, and the surface of the pond is rippling with the raindrops falling from the sky.

Someone pushed open the door from inside the house.

It's a woman.

Yu Ze's pupils slowly dilated and he looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

She was a woman dressed in a nun's uniform, dressed in an ascetic way.

With her long golden hair loose and her sapphire eyes exceptionally bright, she was looking at Yu Ze with a smile.

She reached out and took Yu Ze's wrist and led him into the room.

……

At this moment, several people are gathered in an office.

The leading woman sat quietly on the office chair, her posture was upright, but it could not hide the softness and sexiness of her figure. Her clean white skirt showed the charm of a mature woman to the fullest.

Ji Ningshuang.

At this moment, a painting appeared in front of Ji Ningshuang.

An image was emerging in the scroll, which was the hut where Yu Ze was currently.

"The illusion of the void can reveal a person's deepest fears and desires. If one can face fear, it means that the person has great courage. If one can persist in desire, it means that the person is determined."

"These two are indispensable qualities on the path to becoming an immortal."

The maid who had been standing quietly beside Ji Ningshuang looked at the young man in the painting and said in a calm and gentle tone: "This is the test set by the sect master himself. In the past, more than 90% of the people would fail at this level every time."

Mei'er beside him raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the boy in the picture for a few seconds, and then looked at the woman in nun's clothes in the hut. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't she Pope Karen of the Holy See Church? He is actually interested in a nun...?"

Ji Ningshuang smiled and said softly, "This is not his inner desire, this is his fear."

Mei'er was surprised and said, "One of his fears is actually Senior Kailin...?"

Everyone has to face different desires and fears in the virtual world. Some people desire money, power, family, love, friendship, etc.

And fear comes in all kinds of forms... But it is indeed a bit strange that the object of Yu Ze's fear is the Pope of the Holy See Church.

There are many followers of the Holy See Church in this world and in heaven today, and most of them worship Karin as a god.

I thought Yu Ze fantasized about this woman because of his deep desire for the Pope.

The result is actually fear of the other party?

Ji Ningshuang did not say anything, but just looked at the scroll silently.

She didn't really believe it, but the painting told her exactly what it was: fear.

Something unspeakable must have happened on the night he left heaven...

"He passed the first illusion!"

At this time, one of the maids said in surprise that Yu Ze had woken up in less than a few minutes, and the 'Kaylene' woven by the illusion in front of him was shattered.

Ji Ningshuang nodded silently. It was not difficult for him to break this illusion.

But the difficulty of this illusion will become more and more real, and even people in it will not realize that they are in an illusion.

With Karen's disappearance, after a while, a second woman quickly appeared in front of Yu Ze.

"Shirone...?"

Yu Ze subconsciously looked at the girl in front of him. She was wearing a white dress as white as snow, her eyes were like glass, her lips were rosy, and she was looking at him with her clear and pure red eyes, with her head slightly tilted.

Her breasts stood tall and proud, making the originally pure white dress look particularly attractive.

He sat on the bed with one leg on end, his feet wrapped in white socks, his silver hair loose... and even a pair of fox ears on his head!

Then, with her eyes flickering with shyness, she called out in a voice so beautiful that it could melt a man's heart: "Master..."

"Senior Bai Yin?!"

In the office, Mei'er was shocked when she saw this scene, and felt confused.

Ji Ningshuang stared at the young man in the painting quietly, and whispered to herself: "This time I am just longing for it..."

But what exactly does he long to do…?

Ji Ningshuang was just thinking about this when she found that the young man in the scroll had pounced on her, hugged Baiyin's slender waist tightly, and lowered his head to kiss her soft red lips.

Mei'er looked at this scene in shock, wondering what on earth was going on with this person. Not only had he seen Baiyin before, but he even had that kind of fantasy about her?

dong dong.

After nearly ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Ji Ningshuang looked at the charming scene in the scroll silently, and it was not until a long time later that she came to her senses and said:

"come in."

The person who opened the door was Lu Ya, holding a document in her hand.

"Master Ji, there are currently ninety people who have passed the external assessment. After entering the Void Illusionary Realm, none of these ninety people has passed the first level of assessment yet."

"Among the thirty people who directly participated in the internal assessment, a total of nine people passed the first round. This is their name list and photos."

As Lu Ya spoke, she handed the document in her hand to Ji Ningshuang.

When Ji Ningshuang took the document, Lu Ya subconsciously glanced at the scroll next to it.

"..."

When she saw the scroll for the first time, she seemed to doubt whether she had seen something wrong. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the scene in the scroll several times again. Her heart couldn't help but tighten slightly.

The two maids who had just spoken also did not dare to speak anymore and cast nervous glances at Ji Ningshuang.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so weird?"

Noticing the subtle expressions of several people, Ji Ningshuang had a hint of doubt between her brows, and took a look at the content that appeared in the scroll at that moment.

It was still the hut where Yu Ze lived.

Only this time, he has passed the test of 'desire'.

The person who appeared in the cabin had changed from Baiyin to another woman.

Her face was pale and cold, with a dot of cinnabar between her eyebrows. Her hair had been undone at some point, leaving her long hair loose like a waterfall, and she was wearing a white snow-white dress.

Her stunning appearance seems like the goddess of the nine heavens descending to earth, yet she also has a hint of worldly laziness, which is very alluring.

Ji Ningshuang!

Lu Ya stared at the scene in a daze, and was speechless at this moment.

When she talked with Ji Ningshuang before, she had already created for Yu Ze an image of a little fan who adores the Sect Master. It seemed that Sect Master Ji should have some impression and good feelings towards him.

Moreover, this child is also very talented. He passed the first level of the void illusion very smoothly, and it seems that he is about to pass the second level.

As a result... he actually had feelings for the invigilator, the leader of Guiyi Sect?

Although Ji Ningshuang is indeed very beautiful, she is the leader of Guiyi Sect, a second-grade saint.

Even if she really stood in front of you, you would not dare to touch her.

It’s not that I don’t want to touch it, but that I dare not touch it.

Beings at the second-grade saint level would naturally exert a huge sense of oppression on mortals even if they restrained their aura.

For the vast majority of mortals and even cultivators, Ji Ningshuang is a holy and flawless fairy. Her natural spiritual suppression means that most people dare not have any improper thoughts when facing her.

Even though she is so dazzling and beautiful, she doesn't seem like an ordinary thing in this world.

But Yu Ze actually...

Mei'er looked at this scene with her pupils slightly dilated. She seemed dazed and her thoughts seemed a little scattered.
