Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

Yun Fei was not in a hurry to answer Prince Chen's question, but asked: "Prince, please don't get excited. There is one thing I don't understand, and I want to ask you for advice."

Prince Chen was full of curiosity and expectation about Yun Fei at this time. He suppressed his inner excitement and asked, "What do you want to ask? Just ask. As long as I can answer it, I will never hide it."

Yun Fei smiled slightly and asked, "If, I mean if, on Douluo Continent, everyone can practice like me, without a martial spirit, and still have powerful strength, do you think it is good or bad?"

Upon hearing this, the King of Chen fell into deep thought. He had never thought about this question. In Douluo Continent, the martial spirit determines a person's fate. Having a strong martial spirit means having great power and status. Those without martial spirits can only become civilians and be bullied by others.

If everyone can practice cultivation, doesn’t that mean that everyone has the opportunity to change their destiny?

Prince Chen's eyes sparkled, and he muttered to himself, "If everyone can practice... then what will this world become?"

Seeing that Prince Chen was lost in thought, Yun Fei took the initiative to take over the topic: "Prince, power itself is neither good nor bad. The key lies in the person who uses it. If a person with evil intentions obtains powerful power, it will only bring disaster to the area and destroy lives. But if power is in the hands of righteous and kind people, it can protect the peace of the area and benefit the people."

Prince Chen nodded slightly, agreeing with it deeply.

Yun Fei continued, "The faction I belong to is called 'White Cloud Palace'. There are many masters in the palace. They are all righteous people who are committed to maintaining peace on the continent and eradicating evil forces. The reason why I can practice without a martial soul is precisely because of the unique secret method of the White Cloud Palace."

"Baiyun Palace?!" Prince Chen's heart moved. He had never heard of this name, but from Yun Fei's description, this force seemed to be very powerful and acted in an upright manner. He couldn't help but yearn for it.

Yun Fei observed the look on Prince Chen's face and continued, "Baiyun Hall is recruiting disciples, but there is one thing: it requires extremely high character from the disciples. To join Baiyun Hall, one must pass three tests, namely, 'heart of justice', 'heart of courage', and 'heart of benevolence'. These three tests are not tests of martial spirits and talents, but tests of a person's character and will. Only those with a sense of justice and a firm will can pass the test and become Baiyun Hall disciples."

"In addition to this, there is also a 'will test', which tests a person's desire for and control over power. Only those who truly understand the meaning of power and can control their own desires can truly master power and not be swallowed by it."

After listening to Yun Fei's story, Prince Chen couldn't calm down for a long time. He had been burdened with heavy responsibilities since he was a child, and he longed to have powerful power to change his own destiny and the destiny of the Daqian Empire. Now, the opportunity was in front of him, how could he not be tempted?

Yun Fei saw that Prince Chen was already interested, so he said, "Your Highness, I can guarantee you a chance to take part in the Baiyun Palace assessment. As for whether you can pass the test in the end, it depends on your own luck."

Prince Chen took a deep breath, looked at Yun Fei firmly, and said, "Okay! I'm willing to give it a try! Brother Yun Fei, please take me to Baiyun Palace. I want to take the test!"

Yun Fei smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. The assessment of Baiyun Palace is not always available. I will arrange for you to go to Baiyun Palace in the near future."

Prince Chen nodded. He knew that this matter could not be rushed. He looked at Yun Fei and asked, "Brother Yun Fei, why are you helping me?"

Yun Fei put away his smile and said seriously: "Because I believe that Your Majesty is a man of justice. You are determined to change the fate of the Daqian Empire, and Baiyun Palace will be the best helper for you to realize your ambitions."

After hearing this, Prince Chen was deeply moved. He bowed to Yunfei solemnly and said, "Brother Yunfei, I will always remember your kindness!"

Yun Fei quickly helped Prince Chen up and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am doing this for the people of the world."

Baiyun Hall, meeting room.

Five figures were sitting in the hall. They were the core figures of Baiyun Hall: Baiyun, Old Sang, Old Zhu, Nasus and Old Ancestor Yuehu.

"Yun Fei, this kid, has only been down the mountain for less than ten days, how come he has already sent a message back? Did he encounter some trouble?" Zhu Weng, who was more impatient, spoke first, with a hint of worry on his old face.

"Be patient, let me take a look." Elder Sang stroked his snow-white beard, took the letter from his disciple, and probed into it with his spiritual sense. After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his originally calm face.

"What's wrong? Did Yunfei encounter any difficult problems?" Bai Yun asked with concern.

Mr. Sang did not answer immediately, but handed the letter to Bai Yun and said, "Read it for yourselves."

Bai Yun took the letter, and soon, his face showed the same shock as Sang Lao. Then, the jade slip was handed to Zhu Weng, Nasus and Moon Fox Patriarch in turn, and everyone's face showed an expression of disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?! In just ten days, he actually convinced the King of the Daqian Empire and recommended the King of the Daqian Empire to participate in the assessment of our Baiyun Palace?!" Zhu Weng exclaimed, his tone full of disbelief.

"Incredible, really incredible! I have lived for half a million years, and I have never heard of anyone who can convince a powerful prince of the empire so quickly." The Moon Fox Patriarch shook his head repeatedly, obviously shocked by Yun Fei's efficiency.

"Yun Fei, this disciple has given us a huge surprise!" Bai Yun said excitedly.

Nasus remained silent until the discussion stopped. Then he slowly said, “This matter is indeed of great importance. The King of Chen has a special status. We cannot agree to it lightly.”

The Moon Fox Patriarch nodded and agreed, "Yes, if other empires knew about this, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble."

Bai Yun also calmed down and said, "Nasus and Moon Fox Patriarch are right. We need to think about this matter carefully."

Elder Sang pondered for a moment and said, "That being said, Yun Fei is a cautious kid. Since he dared to recommend Prince Chen, he must have made all the necessary preparations. Moreover, if Prince Chen is really a man of justice and a man of the world as Yun Fei said, we should not miss this opportunity."

Bai Yun nodded and said, "Old Sang is right. We can't reject Prince Chen just because of his status. Wouldn't that be against the purpose of our Bai Yun Palace? In my opinion, it is better to let Yun Fei bring Prince Chen here first, and we can inspect him in person before making a decision."

Old Sang and Mr. Zhu looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay! In that case, Mr. Sang, please write back to Yun Fei and allow him to bring Prince Chen to take the assessment." Bai Yun made the decision.

A few days later.

Prince Chen got off the horse and rubbed his legs and feet which were a little stiff from riding for a long time. He looked up at the ordinary mountain range in front of him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the famous Baiyun Palace was hidden in such a secret place."

Yun Fei tied the horse to a nearby tree stump and replied, "Baiyun Palace has always been low-key and has not been concerned with worldly affairs. It only accepts talents from all over the world. Your Majesty, please follow me. There is a teleportation array here that can lead directly to the mountain gate."

The two walked through a winding mountain path and came to a relatively open valley. In the valley, two disciples in white were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed. When they heard the noise, they opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes were shining brightly.

"Senior Brother Yunfei!" The two disciples stood up and saluted, and their eyes immediately fell on King Chen with a hint of curiosity.

"This is the current Prince Chen. I brought him here specially to take the entrance examination." Yun Fei introduced briefly.

One of the disciples clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be His Highness Prince Chen. I have long heard of your great name. However, this entrance examination is very difficult. Please wait for a moment while I inform the elders." After saying that, he turned and entered the teleportation array at the side.

Not long after, a tall, serious-looking young man came out, led by his disciples. He was the deputy master of Baiyun Hall - Nasus.

"Greetings, Deputy Hall Master." Yun Fei and the gatekeeper disciple saluted together.

Nasus nodded slightly, and with a sharp glance at the King, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you the King of the Great Qian Empire?"

The King met Nasus’s scrutinizing gaze and answered calmly, “That’s right.”

“Since you were brought here by Yunfei, I believe you already know the rules of the White Cloud Palace.” Nasus’ tone was calm, yet he exuded an aura of authority without even getting angry. “There are four levels in the entrance examination, testing your ‘heart of justice’, ‘heart of courage’, ‘heart of benevolence’, and ‘will’ respectively. Are you ready?”

Prince Chen took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "Ready!"

Nasus nodded slightly, and a bronze hand emerged from his wide sleeves, with distinct joints and long, strong fingers.

He did not move immediately, but just looked at King Chen quietly, his eyes as deep as the vast sea of ​​stars, as if he could see through everything.

After a long while, he made a light move, and the Nine-Layered Illusion Tower, which was originally placed on the high platform in the hall, made a low humming sound and flew to his palm as lightly as a living thing.

Nasus stroked the tower, the ancient runes flowing through his fingertips, emitting a faint light. He then threw the glittering little tower into the air and said calmly, "Your Highness, please look."

The Nine-Layered Illusionary Tower swelled in the wind and slowly rotated in the air. An ancient and mysterious atmosphere permeated the air, causing the King to hold his breath involuntarily. The tower was surrounded by clouds and mist, and the rare and exotic animals carved on it could be vaguely seen. They were lifelike, as if they would break out of the tower in the next second and let out a roar that shook the earth.

A vicissitudes of life and simplicity came over him, and the King seemed to be in the long river of history, with ancient whispers echoing in his ears, telling ancient legends. The runes on the tower body flickered, the light became brighter and brighter, and a heart-pounding power continued to rise.

"boom!"

With a slight vibration, the Nine-Layered Illusion Tower, which was dozens of feet tall, landed steadily on the ground.

The King was deeply shocked by the scene, and his heart was in turmoil. Although he was not a soul master, he knew from his years of experience that this was not just a simple power, but a superb control of soul power. This move alone was enough to prove how powerful Nasus was, and it also strengthened his determination to desire power.

As soon as he stepped into the tower, the king felt dizzy and the surrounding scene was completely different. He found himself in a bustling city, with people coming and going on the streets, hawking and shouting one after another, a prosperous scene.

"Where is this?" Prince Chen was puzzled and was looking around when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of ferocious-looking soldiers chasing a thin scholar. The scholar was holding a package tightly in his hands and stumbling, obviously exhausted.

"Catch him! Don't let him run away!" The soldiers shouted loudly as they chased, their tone full of disdain and contempt.

When the Prince of Chen saw this, he was immediately filled with indignation. He was about to step forward to ask, but suddenly he remembered the content of the entrance examination and calmed down.

"Don't be impulsive. Everything in this illusion may be false." Prince Chen reminded himself secretly and decided to wait and see.

The scholar was forced into a corner by the soldiers with no way to escape. He looked around in despair and finally set his eyes on Prince Chen.

"Sir, please save me! What I hold in my arms is my father's hard work of many years, and it must not fall into the hands of thieves!" The scholar pleaded with tears in his eyes.

The soldiers also saw Prince Chen. One of them stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Don't mind your own business, kid. This is the person we, the City Lord's Mansion, want to arrest!"
