Not only did Li Wanji and her servant feel nothing unusual when they entered the Transcendent Pool, they even walked out with clear expressions.

Seeing this, Qingfeng Langyue couldn't help but look at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

You know, although this Transformation Pool looks ordinary, it actually contains mysteries.

This pool of water can cleanse the body and refine the soul. Only creatures with pure bodies and minds can pass through it safely.

Many newly ascended immortals, after entering the Transcendental Pool, often struggle in pain because they have too many karmas on their bodies and cannot withstand the cleansing of the immortal energy in the pool. Some even turn to ashes in the pool.

Even those with lighter karma will become pale and listless after experiencing a baptism in the pool.

It is rare for people like Li Wanji and Cang Yuan, especially Cang Yuan, who does not look like a good person, to pass the baptism of the Transcendent Pool so easily.

"Is it because they are demons and their physiques are different from those of humans?" Qingfeng muttered in a low voice.

"Maybe, but we'd better be careful." Lang Yue reminded, "Don't forget, the Immortal Venerable said that the demon race has always been cunning."

Li Wanji had excellent hearing, and although Qingfeng and Langyue spoke in low voices, she could still vaguely hear their conversation. She smiled in her heart, but her face remained expressionless.

"Fairy, and this... um, servant, here are two sets of fairyland costumes, you can change into them first, and then follow us to the Eight Bitterness Palace."

Qingfeng handed Li Wanji and Cangyuan each a set of fairy clothes.

Li Wanji took the fairy clothes and found that they were not like ordinary clothes.

The fairy clothes were made of a material she had never seen before. It was as light as smoke, embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns, and contained a faint fairy spirit.

She changed her clothes quickly and suddenly looked like an ethereal being.

Li Wanji thought to herself: This fairyland uniform is so extraordinary, not only is it beautiful, but it also contains extraordinary magical fluctuations. I think it must be a good magic weapon.

However, it is still slightly inferior to the 'Heavenly Silkworm Armor' and 'Eight Immortals Spiritual Clothes' given to her by the system.

At the same time, Cang Yuan also changed into fairy clothes.

He was already handsome, and now in his immortal robes, he looked even more heroic, but his brows still showed a hint of arrogance.

"Okay, let's go." Qingfeng said, leading Li Wanji and Cangyuan to the Eight Bitterness Hall.

The Hall of Eight Sufferings is located behind the Hall of Jiexian. It is a majestic hall with a huge plaque hanging above the door with three large characters "Hall of Eight Sufferings" inscribed on it.

The Hall of Eight Sufferings is a place of trial that every newly ascended immortal must go through.

Only by passing the eight trials can one truly become a resident of the fairyland.

These eight sufferings are suffering of birth, suffering of aging, suffering of sickness, suffering of death, suffering of separation from loved ones, suffering of meeting with those we hate, suffering of not getting what we desire, and suffering of the five aggregates.

The so-called enlightenment and ascension is not just a simple improvement of strength, but more importantly a baptism and sublimation of the soul.

The purpose of the Eight Suffering Trials is to allow these newly ascended immortals to experience and transcend the sufferings of the human world, thereby achieving spiritual purification.

Li Wanji stood in front of the Eight Sufferings Hall and took a deep breath. She knew that the next trial would not be easy, but she was confident that she could pass it successfully.

Qingfeng and Langyue brought them here and then said goodbye and left. They had to walk the rest of the way on their own.

Li Wanji turned around and glanced at Cang Yuan, and found that he was also looking at her, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

"What? You want me to help you pass the trial?" Li Wanji asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No need." Cang Yuan responded coldly and turned his head away without looking at her.

"That's good, let's go our separate ways." Li Wanji said, and took the lead to step into the gate of the Eight Sufferings Hall.

As soon as she entered the Hall of Eight Sufferings, Li Wanji felt that the surrounding environment had changed.

Various illusions of suffering comparable to hell followed one after another, trying to destroy her will.

She seemed to be in a world full of suffering, witnessing the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, feeling the sorrow of separation from loved ones, experiencing the helplessness of meeting with those she hated, and the despair of not getting what she wanted.

According to common sense, every hardship that the trial-takers go through will be like heavy shackles, binding their souls and making them deeply realize the impermanence and hardships of the world.

However, Li Wanji remained surprisingly calm.

Because she was a traveler from another world, even though the sufferings presented in this illusion were tragic, she could not empathize with them after all.

Although she had a bit of a hard time trying to make a living in the cracks during the first fifty years of her life as a demon in the wilderness, she had been on the rise since she was bound to the childbearing system.

Those days could be described as being a place where she got whatever she wanted. Not only did her cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, she also led the entire family to prosperity, and even became partners with several handsome clan leaders and powerful men. Her life could be described as going smoothly.

Therefore, these illusions of suffering did not cause much trouble to her.

She walked through the illusion step by step with a calm heart, and each time she resolutely chose to move forward, without fear or retreat. Suffering in front of her was like an illusory bubble that burst at the touch of a finger.

But Cang Yuan is completely different from her.

That guy has no heart at all. He is cold, cruel, and has no sympathy for the suffering in the world.

To him, the Eight Suffering Trials were like a game. He observed everything around him indifferently, as if he was enjoying a drama that had nothing to do with him.

But even so, Cang Yuan discovered the unusualness of this trial.

These illusions seemed to touch something deep in his heart, causing him to involuntarily recall the past.

His father favored his elder brother. Although he was obviously more talented than his brother Cangming, he was never treated fairly. Instead, he was regarded as a threat to the family and was exiled to a remote fiefdom early on.

The memories of being betrayed, misunderstood, and isolated flooded into his heart like a tide, and Cangyuan's eyes gradually turned cold.

It was obvious that he was more suitable than his brother to sit on the throne of the Lord of the Underworld and rule the entire underworld, but because of the prejudice and obstruction of those old stubborn people, he could never get the position he deserved.

This forced him to kill his father, usurp power, seize the throne... and step by step embark on the road to fighting for power.

The mother said: "You are a poor and strange person, born with a violent nature. Your father hates you and your clan members reject you. Why can't you learn from your brother and be more obedient?"

However, he never took the initiative to hurt anyone. It was those monks who claimed to be righteous who forced him, hunted him down, and drove him into desperate situations time and time again.

Why should he settle for what he has? Why can't he fight for what he deserves?

Azhi said, "Second brother, why are you always so obsessed with power? Don't father, mother, eldest brother and Azhi deserve that position?"

But he has been alone for a long time. What else does he have to cling to except power?

These memories, like sharp blades, cut his heart again and again.

But Cang Yuan seemed not to feel any pain and looked at the scenes in the illusion indifferently.

I, Cang Yuan, swear that I will reach the pinnacle of the strong and let those who once looked down on me, betrayed me, and hurt me, all see my true strength!

I want to make this world tremble for me and submit to me!

"boom--"

A powerful aura burst out from Cangyuan's body, instantly breaking through the surrounding illusion.

At this time, Li Wanji had successfully passed the Eight Bitterness Trial. She walked out of the trial area and saw Cang Yuan who had also walked out.

Their eyes met in the air. Although they did not speak, there seemed to be a tacit understanding flowing between them.

"Hmph, it seems that you have also passed the test." Li Wanji was the first to break the silence.

"You are the same." Cang Yuan responded calmly, his eyes moving over Li Wanji, as if he wanted to see through this woman's heart.
