Tang Ye went silent when he heard this. After a long time, his gaze descended onto those three treasures, and the hesitation in his eyes was extremely obvious. Tang Ye was truly hesitant right now. Two types of voices had appeared in his mind. One said ‘Take it and leave of course! What’re you hesitating for? Only an idiot would risk his life to overcome that terrifying sword formation. If you leave now, then not only would you become renowned throughout the Sword Sect, you’d even obtain three Profound Rank treasures. How great is that? What’re you still hesitating for?’. On the other hand, the other voice objected ‘Don’t take it of course. The path towards the Martial Dao requires a fearless heart. If you give up the on challenging this level because of unknown difficulties and for the sake of treasures, then your heart towards the Martial Dao would be flawed. In the future, you’ll choose to shrink back when you encounter difficulties....’. Meanwhile, the first voice interrupted the second voice. ‘Is this shrinking back? Is it shrinking back when you’re facing an opponent that’s impossible to defeat? This is being sensible! Moreover, not to mention whether you’ll be able to pass through the sword formation, so what if you do succeed? It would be none other than a slight increase in strength. But what if you fail? Have you thought about your mother and younger sister? What would they do if you die? Would the Liu Clan let them go?” The second voice went silent. Obviously, Tang Ye’s younger sister and mother were the most important in his heart. The old man smiled as he gazed at Tang Ye. He didn’t say anything, and only a strange glow flashed occasionally through his eyes. After a long time, Tang Ye smiled and said, “Right, if I died, then what would my younger sister and mother do? For the sake of my younger sister and mother, I can’t die. So....” As he spoke, his hand stretched towards the three treasures before him. However, at this moment, Tang Ye hadn’t noticed that when he spoke those words, a wisp of disappointment had obviously flashed through the old man’s eye. Right when Tang Ye’s hand touched the scroll, his hand suddenly shrunk back, and then he looked at the old man and said with a smile, “So, Senior, I want to continue!”The old man was stunned, and then he said with astonishment after a long time, “You... you want to continue?” Tang Ye nodded while his eyes didn’t carry a trace of hesitation. There was only a firm expression in his eyes as he said, “The path towards the Martial Dao is bound to be full of bumps. If I don’t have firm confidence and fearless courage, then I’m bound to be unable to go far on the path towards the Martial Dao!” A wisp of approval flashed past the old man’s eyes, and then he asked. “Then what about your younger sister and mother? What would they do if you died in the sword formation? Aren’t you being a bit too selfish by disregarding your loved ones for the sake of our own Martial Dao and improvement of strength?” Tang Ye smiled and said, “Senior, the strong are respected in the southern territory. Only by possessed strength would I be able to take control of my own fate, and only then would I be able to better protect my loved ones. If I don’t become strong, then the lives of my younger sister, mother, and even my own life wouldn’t be in my own control in the end. Moreover, if I allow my younger sister and mother to be the excuse for shrinking back this time, then when I encounter difficulties in the future, I’ll definitely utilize them as the excuse to be a coward and shrink back. So, I want to continue!” Actually, Tang Ye’s desire to continue wasn’t merely for the sake of improving his strength now, and he was doing it for the sake of eliminating his inner demons. Yes, when those two voices appeared in his mind, he knew that he already had inner demons. If these inner demons weren’t eliminated, then his will wouldn’t be firm, and his heart towards the Martial Dao would have been shaken. That was absolutely a calamity to him. In order to completely eliminate these inner demons, he had to continue challenging this level. Because he’d become fearful after he heard the old man. Yes, that moment of hesitation was actually because of fear, and he’d been constantly avoiding this face. So, that voice that asked him to shrink back had appeared within his mind. At the bottom of it all, that voice was something he’d made up in order to conceal the fact that he was afraid. As for his mother, younger sister, or the treasures, they were all excuses. The old man gazed at Tang Ye while the approval in his eyes wasn’t concealed at all. He said, “Everyone has their own inner demons, but many people either avoid or submit to these inner demons. Young man, you were able to swing your sword and eliminate your inner demons. Not bad, not bad at all. Finally, congratulations. You’ve passed.” As soon as he finished speaking, the old man’s figure gradually vanished like the Sword Servants from before, and the three treasures vanished along with the old man. It really was an illusion. But the illusion this time was really realistic! As he gazed at the spot where the old man vanished, Tang Ye muttered in a low voice. After he decided to continue, his mind had cleared up greatly, and he thought of numerous things. One of them was that this scene before him was still an illusion, but he wasn’t sure. Because the old man was too realistic! Now, as he watched the old man vanish along with the three treasures just like how the Sword Servants from before had vanished, he’d confirmed his suspicions. Tang Ye took a deep breath, and then he didn’t look back as he walked towards the stairs that led to the 22nd level. Now, he was truly fearless towards the next challenge he would face. When Tang Ye arrived at the 22th level, the others outside the pagoda seethed with excitement!
