Chapter 635: Chapter 641: Self-Examination
Jiang Fengwu stared at Wei Ningchen and said, "If you can pass my test, I will no longer hinder you and Shuo from becoming Dao companions."
"Please enlighten me, senior!" Wei Ningchen’s spirit lifted at these words, his confidence in his own strength, temperament, Dao heart, and his feelings for Li Chengshuo unwavering, believing he could definitely satisfy Jiang Fengwu!
Jiang Fengwu gave him a deep look and said, "Just wait half an hour."
With that, she drifted away.
"Sit and wait, and take this time to regain your strength," Li Zhirui did not want Wei Ningchen to fail.
Although he didn’t know what kind of Formation Jiang Fengwu had created, she had pondered deeply and even asked her family to purchase high-grade Spiritual Objects; no matter how you looked at it, it wouldn’t be simple.
If Wei Ningchen wasn’t careful, he might just capsize in the gutter.
"Thank you for the advice, senior!"
Li Zhirui nodded without speaking.
The reception hall suddenly fell silent.
The half-hour passed quickly, and Jiang Fengwu arrived almost on time, saying as she entered, "Follow me."
"Yes!" Wei Ningchen opened his eyes and calmly followed her.
Li Zhirui thought for a moment and followed as well, his curiosity piqued as to what kind of Formation Jiang Fengwu would use to test Wei Ningchen.
In a short while, the three of them arrived at a valley on Wanxian Island.
As soon as Li Zhirui stepped into it, he sensed its profound mystery; a glint of insight flashed in his eyes, and he silently thought, ’Fengwu is really determined to make things difficult for this young man!’
Although he had not studied Formation and knew very little about Earth Masters, his Spiritual Soul was strong enough to keenly sense that the Feng Shui layout of this valley was extraordinary, complementing the Formation, mutually beneficial, likely to forcibly enhance the Formation’s power by several times.
Li Zhirui cast a curious glance at Jiang Fengwu, wondering when she had learned the skills of an Earth Master; he, her intimate partner, knew nothing of it.
"This fourth-tier Formation is the result of a moment of Spirit Light; do you dare enter and break the Formation?" Jiang Fengwu ignored his scrutiny and turned to Wei Ningchen to speak.
"Senior, do not underestimate me."
"Since that is the case, then enter the Formation," said Jiang Fengwu, her expression flat as she waved her hand to open a passage in the Formation for Wei Ningchen to enter.
Li Zhirui, beside them, asked with a face full of curiosity, "Fengwu, what is this Formation?"
"The Red Dust Heart Inquiry Array! It’s an Illusion Array comparable to the Heart Demon Illusion Realm! It can unknowingly draw a person into an Illusionary Realm."
Jiang Fengwu smiled proudly and said, "Furthermore, I can see the other person’s performance in the Illusionary Realm, which will help me determine whether he’s suitable for Shuo."
Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow, incredulous at its capabilities.
Seeing his disbelief, she could not be bothered to explain further and said, "Just wait and watch."
The reason for Jiang Fengwu’s confidence naturally lay in the fact that she had used herself as a test subject, entering the Formation to personally experience its power!
Compared to her own past Heart Demon Tribulation, she thought it no less formidable!
Because he did not know the type of Formation, Wei Ningchen started with great caution, but suddenly his vision darkened, and he fell unconscious.
When he came to, he vaguely saw Li Chengshuo beside him, holding a jade bowl in her slender hand, her brows and eyes filled with worry.
"Shuo..."
"Chen brother, you finally woke up!" a voice chirped, brimming with joy and surprise.
"What happened to me?" In a daze, he seemed to remember being ambushed and narrowly escaping death.
"You’re seriously injured! I told you before to be careful, but you just didn’t take it to heart. Look where that got you now!"
Wei Ningchen smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "It’s my negligence; I didn’t listen to you. I apologize to Shuo."
"However, after this experience, I’ve gained an opportunity and will be able to break through before long."
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied to younger sister Shuo?"
Li Chengshuo looked at him with immense joy, her eyes filled with deep, unresolvable love, which made Wei Ningchen jubilant, willingly indulging in it.
Time passed day by day, and Wei Ningchen didn’t realize at all that this was an illusionary realm; he had completely integrated into it.
After a period of arduous cultivation, he finally reached the point of successfully breaking through and smoothly came out of seclusion.
To celebrate his breakthrough, the two of them intertwined passionately that night, and during their time of joy, a pure and mystical power entered Wei Ningchen’s body, visibly enhancing his cultivation at a rapid pace.
He closed his eyes in enjoyment and even felt that this pace was a bit slow, so he quickened the absorption speed.
"Something’s not right!"
Suddenly, Wei Ningchen’s whole body stiffened as if waking from a dream, he said, "What a formidable illusion array! I had no idea before this."
If it hadn’t been for the illusionary realm, he would have taken advantage of Li Chengshuo against his will, and he might still be lost in it.
Crackling—
Wei Ningchen broke the formation, and several Array Flags showed signs of cracking before being collected by Jiang Fengwu.
His performance in the illusionary realm was all observed by Jiang Fengwu, who was now silently looking at him and said, "Not bad, I approve of you now."
It was evident that Wei Ningchen genuinely refused to take advantage of the situation, otherwise, he wouldn’t have woken up so quickly.
"Thank you for showing mercy, senior." Wei Ningchen put away his arrogant heart, acting amiable, all in an attempt to win her favor.
Jiang Fengwu shook her head without a word, as she had not held back at all; in fact, she had done everything she could to enhance the formation’s power.
But unexpectedly, he had still managed to break through the Great Array.
"Young Wei, it’s getting late, you should be heading back now."
Li Zhirui had no intention of having him stay overnight within the clan grounds; after all, he was not yet Li Chengshuo’s partner, and even with the approval from both, accidents could still happen.
Who knows, maybe her master wouldn’t agree?
So, she hastened his departure without hesitation.
"Farewell, esteemed seniors!"
After Wei Ningchen left, Li Zhirui curiously asked, "How did he perform in the illusionary realm?"
"See for yourself." Jiang Fengwu projected his actions using an illusion technique, then turned and left.
Before long, the illusion dissipated, and Li Zhirui smiled, saying, "Good lad, lucky for me I wasn’t mistaken about you!" 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"You’re back?"
At Myriad Puppet Peak, the Divine Transformation elder looked at the travel-weary Wei Ningchen, eyes slightly narrowed, and asked, "How did it go? Did her parents not approve of you?"
"No, it’s just that younger sister Shuo is in seclusion, and I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t get to see her with my own eyes."
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but laugh, adding, "Moreover, I’m going to disappoint you, master, because the two seniors were actually quite satisfied with me, and I have already passed their test!"
This was a joyous occasion indeed, having received approval from his potential in-laws, his long pursuit was now nearing its end!
"But have you ever considered that I might not agree to you marrying that girl?" the elder said in a calm tone.
