Yun Lintian stared at the spectral figure calmly. A trial of deepest fears? For him, it was just another day. What he was concerned about currently was the so-called qualification to be recognized by the Soul Scepter.
The spectral figure swept its gaze across the group, its voice devoid of any emotion. "The trial will commence individually. Step forward, Yun Lintian."
Yun Lintian looked at his companions gently before stepping forward.
The spectral figure raised a hand, and the white walls around him dissolved, replaced by a scene that ripped a gasp from his lips.
He found himself standing on a familiar dirt path, the lush greenery of the Misty Cloud Sect surrounding him. Laughter echoed in the distance, drawing him closer. As he rounded a bend, he came upon a scene that shattered his composure.
