The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal-Chapter 1061: Test, Heart Demon and Wisdom

"Hehehe! That’s right, I am indeed a Heart Demon, and your own Heart Demon at that."

Old Sect Leader bared his teeth in a sinister smile.

Just then, Shi Lei realized that the Old Sect Leader before him had transformed into a Heart Demon, so he closed his eyes, silently chanting, "This is a Heart Demon, not real," among other phrases.

At first, Shi Lei thought this could protect himself.

But, but it wasn’t long.

Suddenly, Shi Lei felt a chill in his chest.

Opening his eyes and looking down, he saw that his chest had been pierced by the Heart Demon’s black claws.

From then on, Shi Lei finally understood the formidable nature of the Heart Demon.

"Knowing that I am a Heart Demon and yet not defending yourself, you’re simply foolish, seeking death!" the Heart Demon mocked.

His old face was filled with ferocity and derision.

Upon hearing this, Shi Lei’s face turned red.

In the world of the Heart Demon, he found himself completely devoid of any cultivation level, whereas the Heart Demon possessed formidable strength, far beyond his current capabilities.

"No!"

"I cannot fail!"

Shi Lei’s breathing became labored, his life force in the Consciousness Space gradually fading, and if this continued, he would ultimately perish here, leading to failure.

"Hehehe! You’re surely doomed!"

The Heart Demon, with its other hand, grasped Shi Lei’s neck, ready to tear him apart and devour him.

Looking at the Old Sect Leader, transformed by the Heart Demon, Shi Lei’s gaze fell on the familiar old face, feeling immense pain in his heart.

"I was raised by the Old Sect Leader."

"Although I am not very smart, I know the importance of gratitude, so I always stayed at Misty Peak, regarding the Old Sect Leader as my only kin, taking care of his daily needs."

"The Old Sect Leader was very kind, a good person."

"And you, you are a monstrously evil demon, nothing like our kind Old Sect Leader!"

"You are merely an illusion!"

"Since the Old Sect Leader’s passing, I couldn’t reconcile it, hating myself for not having properly honored him while he was alive, which is why this dark point was seized by you, taking advantage of the situation to turn into a Heart Demon!"

With these words, the entire Consciousness Space suddenly trembled.

The Heart Demon’s body also trembled.

Shi Lei’s aura rapidly grew stronger, transitioning from a mortal into a cultivator.

"How is this possible?" the Heart Demon exclaimed.

Then, Shi Lei took a deep breath, his gaze resolute, addressing the Heart Demon:

"Those who have left are gone as such!"

"After the Old Sect Leader’s serene death, I looked calm on the surface, similar to before, but deep down I was never reconciled."

"It was not until the Sect Master Uncle appeared, his optimism, his happiness, his care, and his radiant qualities, that all inspired me, making me realize that as long as one is alive, they should maintain a positive and optimistic outlook."

"To live well, treasure the living, spend more time with them while they are alive, rather than having regrets only after they are gone."

"Although the Old Sect Leader has fallen,"

"he still lives in my heart, forever maintaining that radiant image!"

"As for you, Heart Demon, die!"

As he spoke, Shi Lei’s tone was filled with resolve, and his aura grew increasingly powerful.

With a rip,

he broke free from the Heart Demon’s claws, slapped the Heart Demon’s head to smithereens, turning it into a wisp of smoke that drifted away, dissipating under the rays of the sun.

In a daze,

Shi Lei saw a venerable figure in the sky, smiling at him with kindness, as if taking Shi Lei back to the past.

Seeing that person, Shi Lei also smiled.

His smile was radiant, signaling relief and liberation, with tears shimmering in his eyes.

"Old Sect Leader, I will live well!"

Shi Lei yelled out to that figure.

Crash!

The next moment, the surrounding scene vanished, countless fragments recombined into the Land of Chaos.

Shi Lei found himself standing as a consciousness in this endless expanse of chaos.

"This is the second stage!"

Shi Lei murmured to himself.

Then, a strange feeling overwhelmed him, making him feel aimless in life, very lost.

The entire world had become chaotic and disorderly.

This was exactly the second trial, the "Test of Wisdom." To pass, one must clearly define the path they want to follow.

"The road ahead…"

"What path should I take in the future?"

Shi Lei fell into confusion.

...

Consciousness Space.

Shen Yu was being engulfed by numerous eerie black mists, his body festering with horrifying wounds.

"Ah!"

He kept screaming in agony.

Shen Yu was from Zhongyuan City. Although not naturally gifted, his mastery of formations was profound, and he loved them dearly. frёewebηovel.cѳm

This was due to an incident from his childhood.

Back then, he accompanied an Array Master elder on a training expedition that turned perilous, witnessing the elder use a formation to protect him.

However, in the end, this elder succumbed to exhaustion and perished.

And this incident became Shen Yu’s Heart Demon.

"I study formations because I feel guilty. If I had been more proficient back then, the elder would not have died, and all this is my fault due to my incompetence!"

The Heart Demon, manifested from formation runes, tore at Shen Yu, causing him excruciating pain, but his eyes gradually grew more resolute.

Not long after.

As Shen Yu’s willpower started to dominate, the black mists formed by the Heart Demon gradually faded and eventually dissipated.

"Did I… Did I make it through the first trial?"

Shen Yu was overjoyed.

...

Another Consciousness Space.

Han Yonghui was kneeling on the ground, bloodied and battered, his eyes turning blood-red.

Around him were Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Long Tianxing, Qiao Jiaxi, and other powerful First Generation Disciples—all manifestations of Heart Demons.

As a once youthful prodigy from the Eighteen Ancient Clans, Han Yonghui’s heart was full of pride and confidence, but since joining the Misty Sect, he had been defeated by many senior disciples.

These defeats had become his Heart Demons.

"Han Yonghui, you are so weak!"

"Hehe, you are too pathetic."

"We could defeat you with just one hand."

The Heart Demons, manifesting as Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others, endlessly taunted him, trying to drive him to insanity.

"No, no, no!"

"You are just Heart Demons, not the First Generation Disciples of our Misty Sect, as far as I know, they would never do such humiliating things."

"And my defeat was due to my lesser skill!"

"I was too arrogant before, I deserved to be knocked down, by this I can adjust my mindset and grow stronger!"

With that said, Han Yonghui revitalized himself.

An intense Sword Intent erupted from him, sweeping across the Consciousness Space, destroying all the Heart Demons, and smoothly moving him into the second trial.

...

The last Consciousness Space.

Zhang Tianyuan held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right, aiming at the figure ahead, who bore some resemblance to Ye Feng, and loudly exclaimed:

"This Heart Demon of yours is too ugly! To be honest, our Sect Leader is much more handsome than you!"

With that, Zhang Tianyuan released the arrow.

Swoosh!

The arrow pierced through the Heart Demon manifested as Ye Feng, causing it to collapse.

"Phew!"

"I finally dealt with the Heart Demon."

Zhang Tianyuan sighed in relief.

As a wielder of the Heavenly Bow Holy Body, he had seen Ye Feng execute Divine Skills unique to the Heavenly Bow Holy Body, like One Arrow Shoots the Sun, the power of which could obliterate worlds.

Thus, Ye Feng had become his Heart Demon.

Just moments ago, Zhang Tianyuan encountered the Heart Demon manifested as Ye Feng and noticed his smile was twisted, nothing like the handsome and compelling Sect Leader usually seen.

Thus, he decisively shot the arrow.

And by doing so, the Heart Demon was shattered.

With this, all four disciples entered the second trial, finding themselves in the Land of Chaos, bewildered and unsure of their future goals.
