Qin Luan was somewhat dazed after waking up. As he gradually became alert, he realized that everything he had just experienced was an illusion, which startled him somewhat.
Upon seeing a frail woman asking for help, he saved her out of compassion. Also driven by sympathy for the common people, he aimed to unify the world, ending wars and bringing about a peaceful and prosperous era.
Although he managed to end the wars and establish a new country, he knew very well that his so-called "compassion" was simply lust for the female body!
If it weren't for his strong belief in advancing his own cultivation, abstaining from ingesting heavenly and earthly treasures, he might have truly fallen into the illusion.
Qin Luan was quite intelligent—he quickly figured out what the secret realm was testing for.
Seeing that only he and Jiang Li were awake, he realized that they were the only two who had passed the first test of the secret realm.
