The three-day deadline had arrived, Xu Chunniang stood up and walked towards the shore.
Just as she was about to reach the shore, she suddenly realized something and stopped.
Everything she experienced before was an illusion, so how could she prove that what she was experiencing now was real
If she had walked into the illusion the moment she stepped onto the ice, then she must still be trapped in the illusion at this moment.
When the false is made to appear true, it can be mistaken for the real thing. Only the heart of Tao will not change with the changes in the environment.
Xu Chunniang cleared her mind and calmed her spirit. Her invisible heart of Taoism turned into something visible in an instant and then returned to being invisible again.
As her mind shifted, the scene in her eyes gradually changed.
The ice and snow in the sky dissipated, and she returned to the small pond she had been in before.
It turned out that she was trapped in the illusion when she first stepped onto the ice.
The three days experienced in the illusion seemed to pass in just a moment in the real world.
If she had not woken up from the illusion in time, she would probably have failed the challenge by now.
Xu Chunniang looked at the pond under her feet. The ice in the pond showed no signs of melting, which was enough to prove that everything before was an illusion.
The three-day period has just begun.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and used her Taoist heart to protect her mind and resist the erosion of the illusion.
In the next three days, she fell into illusions countless times and struggled to escape from them.
Between reality and illusion, her speed in seeing through the illusion became faster and faster.
These three days seemed as long as three lifetimes.
Leaving the illusion for the last time, Xu Chunniang stood up and walked towards the shore.
As she moved, the ice beneath her feet shattered layer by layer, melted silently, and turned into water again.
"Congratulations, you have passed the third level of the assessment. From today on, you will be a ground-level academic officer in my Heavenly God Academy."
Hua Wei put down the hoe in her hand, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.
"You can see through my double illusion array. Even if your cultivation is inferior, you are qualified to become a student of my Heavenly God Academy."
"This double illusion array is very sophisticated and hard to guard against. I was just lucky."
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Xu Chunniang."
Hua Wei took out a black badge, carved on it a few times, and handed it to Xu Chunniang.
"This badge can represent your identity. With it, you can control some of the formations in the academy and freely enter and exit most places in the academy."
Xu Chunniang took the badge with both hands and pinned it on her lapel. "Thank you, Headmaster."
Hua Wei shook her head slightly. "Why bother to thank me? Since you have passed the assessment, this is what you deserve. I hope that when you serve as a school officer in the future, you can keep a heart that distinguishes the true from the false, just like today."
As she spoke, Hua Yao picked up the hoe again and began to tend to the spiritual field.
"Remember the mountain master's teachings."
Xu Chunniang bid farewell to the head of the mountain, Hua Wei, and left the house along the corridor.
When he walked out of the house, a school official who had just received the news happened to arrive.
He looked at Xu Chunniang with a smile on his face.
"You are Officer Xu, right?"
Xu Chunniang nodded and said, "It's me. May I ask your name, fellow Taoist?"
“I am just an ordinary Xuan-level academic officer, responsible for all matters in the Heavenly God Academy. My name is Meng Youchang, and Academic Officer Xu can just call me by my name.
Congratulations to Xu Xueguan for passing the assessment of the headmaster and officially becoming a member of our Tianshen Academy."
"It turns out to be Brother Meng."
Xu Chunniang bowed and said, "I'm new here, please take care of me, Brother Meng."
"No, no, this is my job."
Meng Youchang smiled slightly, "Most of the students in the Heavenly God Academy are in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. If they break through to the Spiritualization stage, they can graduate from the academy. I wonder what you are good at among the hundreds of arts of cultivation, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, the only thing she could show off was the art of formations.
She said hesitantly, "I have studied a little bit about the way of fighting, but before this, I have never taught others."
"That's fine. Since Officer Xu was able to pass the test of the headmaster, he must have some outstanding qualities."
Meng Youchang smiled slightly, "Next, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the Heavenly God Academy."
Under the guidance of Meng Youchang, Xu Chunniang quickly became familiar with the Tianshen Academy. Using the brooch given to her by Hua Wei, she could pull the space conversion formation in the Tianshen Academy and travel to various places in the academy.
As a local school official, she enjoyed a generous annual salary and was only required to preach three times a month. The rest of her time could be arranged as she pleased, which was quite free.
"Xu Xueguan, this is the residence arranged for you by the academy. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, feel free to tell me."
Xu Chunniang looked at the small courtyard in front of her. Although the courtyard was small, it was quiet and the formation was very complete. It was many times better than the simple tents of the Black Tiger Army.
“It’s nice here, I’m very satisfied.”
Meng Youchang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and cupped his hands, "In that case, I won't bother Officer Xu anymore."
After Meng Youchang left, Xu Chunniang walked into the courtyard, activated the formation, and took out the soul-calming pot from the small world.
With the appearance of the soul-calming pot, the cursing voice of Wangtianhu was immediately heard.
"Fuck you, you finally got me, your grandpa, out of here. If you do this again next time and throw me into this little world without even saying hello, I'll never let you go!"
Xu Chunniang glanced at him casually and said, "Shut up. If you keep making noise, I'll just throw you in again."
"How dare you..."
Meeting Xu Chunniang's half-smile, Wang Tianhu's voice unconsciously lowered and he changed the subject.
"I'm asking you, did you pass the third level test?"
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, "Of course I passed. From today on, I will be a student at the Heavenly God Academy."
"Of course, little Xu, I really let you in, hahaha! There are many good things in the Heavenly God Academy, especially the scriptures collected in the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion, which are all good things that cannot be bought even with spirit crystals!"
Xu Chunniang raised her eyebrows and looked at him with some surprise.
"You are just a beast, but you are actually interested in the scriptures and books of our human race?"
"Of course I'm not interested in these things, it's all for you! I've been working so hard to get you to repair your Purple Palace and break through to the Fusion Stage as soon as possible..."
Wang Tianhu's mind was full of resentment, and he paused for a while before speaking.
"The headmaster of the Heavenly God Academy, Hua Wei, is not only good at formations, but is also a high-level spiritual medicine master. The acquired spiritual treasure, the Purple Sovereign Bamboo, which can repair the Purple Mansion, was created by her."
Xu Chunniang thought to herself that innate spiritual treasures are often spiritual objects that are born and raised by nature, while acquired spiritual treasures are mostly cultivated by cultivators.
If you want to cultivate spiritual herbs of the acquired spiritual treasure level, it not only takes a lot of time, but also takes a lot of effort.
How can I impress Hua Wei and get the Purple Jun Bamboo from her
