Chapter 6098 Full of Calm
David glanced at her, a faint smile on his lips.
He walked over to the crystal bed, but didn’t lie down immediately. Instead, he looked at Chen Wanqing.
“Miss Chen, I think I understand the purpose of this test.”
Chen Wanqing raised her eyebrows: “Oh?”
“What is called illusion is perhaps the deepest fear in the depths of everyone’s heart.”
David said slowly, “What you need to see is not whether we can overcome fear, but whether we can maintain our true selves and remain steadfast in the face of fear.”
She paused for a moment, then looked at the bed: “Young Master Wu’s reaction just now shows that he was overcome by fear in the illusion and lost control of his body. Miss Chen thinks that such a person is not worthy of being your cultivation partner.”
A glimmer of surprise flashed across Chen Wanqing’s eyes.
What David said is absolutely true.
He nodded slightly: “Young Master Chen has a keen eye.”
David smiled and turned to lie down on the crystal bed.
“Then, let’s get started.”
Chen Wanqing took a deep breath, and her palms glowed blue again. Then she gently waved her hand.
A bluish light enveloped David.
David closed his eyes.
In an instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss.
Around him there was only boundless darkness, without light, without sound, and without direction.
His body kept falling, falling, falling, as if there was no end.
This is an illusion.
But David knew that this was no ordinary illusion.
In that darkness, something terrifying seemed to lurk, the deepest fear in his heart.
What’s that?
He watched quietly.
In the darkness, several images slowly emerged.
This is Yu Ranran.
He stood on the Stargazing Tower in the Jade Immortal City, staring into the distance, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Then, his body began to become transparent, gradually disappearing and turning into countless spots of light.
“Brother Chen…I will wait for you…”
Her voice grew weaker and weaker until it finally disappeared completely.
David’s heart was beating fast.
The scene changes again.
They are Father and Mother of Moses.
They were pierced through the shoulder blades with iron chains and hung in sacred mountain caves, their essence, blood, and souls slowly extracted, while emitting shrill screams.
“David… save us…”
Their voices echoed in the darkness, shrill and ear-piercing.
David frowned slightly.
The scene changes again.
Ini Mingli.
He was surrounded and attacked by dozens of divine cultivators, covered in blood, and finally fell slowly after his chest was pierced by a sword.
“Mr. Chen… hurry up…”
David’s fingers twitched slightly.
The scene changes again.
He is the sword spirit of Zhongli.
He was bound by countless golden chains, groaning in pain as his form faded away until he finally turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared completely.
David’s breath hitched slightly.
But he didn’t move.
He knew that it was all just an illusion.
This is his greatest fear: fear of loss, fear of helplessness, and fear of losing the people he loves one by one.
However, does fear always have to rule us?
David calmly watched the images, watching the familiar faces disappear before his eyes.
His brows furrowed slightly, but his eyes remained calm and unmoving.
Then why are we afraid?
So what if we lose it?
David rose from humble beginnings to reach his current position. What storms hasn’t he weathered? What suffering hasn’t he experienced?
Yu Ranran was waiting for him; he would definitely come back.
The spirits of Moses and his wife were still alive; he would surely find a way to save them.
Mingli had accompanied him through thick and thin, and he would never let her die.
Zhongli is the spirit of his sword, connected to his soul, and no one can take it away.
These things cannot be shaken by illusions.
David closed his eyes and let his body fall into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, the darkness slowly disappeared.
He felt someone gently sit on top of him.
Her body was soft, giving off a faint scent.
She could feel the man lean down, close to her ear, and gently blow on her breath.
David didn’t respond.
The man looked a little surprised, then reached out and gently stroked his chest.
David still didn’t react.
The man increased his movements, observing her body, his actions becoming more and more daring and provocative.
David still didn’t react.
His breathing was regular, his heartbeat was normal, and there were no tremors in any part of his body.
Chen Wanqing pinned David down, using every trick at her disposal.
He bent down slightly, moved closer to David’s ear, and breathed softly.
David didn’t react.
He reached out and gently drew circles on her chest.
David didn’t react.
She bit her lip, her movements becoming bolder, and gently twisted her body.
David still didn’t respond.
Chen Wanqing finally gave up.
She straightened her body and stared blankly at the man below her, whose eyes were closed as if he was sleeping, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Her looks, her figure, her charm—in Yunxian City, countless young talents were captivated by her.
At that time, even though she had tried her best, this man didn’t show any reaction at all?
His self-control is very strong?
Or maybe… she just wasn’t interesting to him at all?
Chen Wanqing bit her lip, a complex mix of emotions churning inside her: frustration, hatred, and a little… admiration.
He withdrew his hand, and the blue light in his palm disappeared.
David opened his eyes and met Chen Wanqing’s complicated gaze.
A slight upward curve of his lips revealed a faint smile.
“Miss Chen, have you had enough fun?”
Chen Wanqing blushed and immediately moved away from him.
He straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and returned to his calm and indifferent demeanor.
“Young Master Chen is indeed very calm.”
His voice was calm, but the slight tremor at the end of his sentence betrayed his inner turmoil. “Young Master Chen… has passed the second test.”
Wu Lingyun stood to the side, his face extremely gloomy.
He could only watch helplessly as Chen Wanqing pressed down on David, using every means to seduce him, but David remained unresponsive.
He himself only slightly lost control in the illusion before it was finally declared a failure.
The difference is too obvious.
He gritted his teeth, glaring at David, his eyes filled with irritation and unwillingness.
David got up from the crystal bed, straightened his clothes, and looked at Chen Wanqing.
“Miss Chen, you have passed the second hurdle. What’s next?”
Chen Wanqing looked at him deeply and said softly:
“Next…”
He paused for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his lips.
“Next, I will speak privately with Young Master Chen.”
