Unlike the other two tests, where he had to wander through forests and deserts to complete the tasks, this time Ye Yang found himself inside a black space.
Many other participants were seated there like him, some meditating while others looked as confused as he did.
An unseen voice, booming with authority, reverberated through the void. "This is the Mental Trial," it declared.
"To succeed, you must endure the excruciating mental torment that will inevitably arise during your cultivation. The longer you persevere, the greater your chances of victory become. Furthermore, some among you may even achieve enlightenment and grasp an Immortal Technique."
Suddenly, a blinding light illuminated the space, bathing him and the other participants in its glow. Like the others, Ye Yang assumed the lotus position, closing his eyes to begin his cultivation.
