I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years! Book 4: Chapter 8: The Cuckoo Occupies The Magpies Nest

Book 4: Chapter 8: The Cuckoo Occupies The Magpie's Nest In a dark space in the deepest part of Wise Immortal Mansion, a rickety figure was sitting in the darkness.
He was covered in a dark robe, his hair was sparse, his eye sockets were sunken, his cheeks were deeply sunken as if he was a skeleton covered by human skin.
But in his eye sockets, a pair of black eyes were still burning and glowing.
In front of him, there were countless small screens. The trials of various outsiders in each layer of space are displayed on these screens. At this time, the black robe man was staring at a screen which showed Tang Ruowei who was furiously using the techniques that Bai Qiuran taught her to frantically beat the girl who was exactly like her.
The girl created by the formation of the cave mansion had already been beaten into a bloody mess.
At the same time, on another screen, Li Jinyao was carrying a pair of blades, chasing and killing a beautiful white-haired man, slashing his ass.
After watching for a while, he withdrew his gaze. These two lucky little girls have basically passed “the suffering of not getting what is wanted” trial.
Originally, what this trial tested was not the combat ability of the testees, but their mental toughness.
Therefore, the lifeform which was created by the formation in this trial did not possess much combat ability.
According to the general process, the “the suffering of not getting what is wanted” trial would show to the testees what they wanted the most in their lives, and use various temptations. After allowing them to come into close contact with what they wanted the most, these things would disappear, let them taste the taste of losing the most precious thing, destroyed the calmness of the cultivators, and finally lure them into a deadly trap.
The calm state of mind of a cultivator was almost closely related to the cultivation base, so if it’s impaired, that would cause the cultivation level to regress or even lose their life.
When normal people dealt with the thing they wanted the most, they usually treated it with the utmost care and sometimes regard it as more important than their own life. However, even the designer of this trial would not have thought that there would be people in this world when faced with something that they wanted the most, would attack it first.

But for the black-robed people, it didn’t matter. There were many people in this world, it’s reasonable to have one or two cultivators who didn’t play by the rules.
The black-robed man put all his attention in another screen, on which Bai Qiuran had wiped his hands on the headless corpse and walked into the fog.
“Unexpectedly, there will be such a powerful divergent in the future.”
The black-robed man’s face showed a look of eagerness.
“If I can possess his physical body, then I...”
As if sensing what he was thinking now, besides the black robe man, in a white jade-like skull’s eye socket, two clusters of faint blue fire suddenly burned, a voice came from the darkness, and it sneered:
“Are you thinking of possessing his physical body? With your stupidity, that physical body is useless even if you have it.”
“Humph.”
Hearing this voice, the black robe man snorted coldly. His lips did not move, but the voice came from his body and asked:
“Do you know his details?”
“Of course I know! I am the Wise Immortal who was granted great wisdom by Heaven.”
The light inside the skull’s eye was blinked.
“But I won’t tell you. The Crowned Prince of the Sacred Dynasty, the dead should sleep in the coffin! Especially you who are a runaway coward!”

“Heh, Wise Immortal? What a great name, but now you are just a dead bone, with only a strand of the soul remains.”
i????????????ea????.＆nbsp;???????????? The black-robed man sneered:
“How do you think your fate is better than me?”
“But I am different from you, Crowned Prince of the Sacred Dynasty.”
The Deity Soul in the skull dangling.
“I don’t have any other desires, and I will not use magic techniques to seize other people’s bodies... I am not like you, who are always thinking about the outside world but can only sit here day after day for tens of thousands of years. The phrase ‘not getting what is wanted’ is more suitable for you than trials.”
The black-robed man did not speak, but a chilling murderous aura burst out of him, but when he felt the murderous aura, the skull still had no fear.
“You can’t kill me. My soul has been blessed by Heaven, and I’m unkillable. What can you do to frighten me?”
The black robe man’s chest rose and fell slightly, obviously, he was very angry.
But after a while, he recovered his calm.
“Yes, I can’t kill you.”
The black-robed man’s voice was full of sullen anger.
“But after I get the body, I’ll have many ways to deal with you... Then, I will make you experience a fate worse than death!”

The words were divided into two ends. On the other side, Bai Qiuran, who was passing through the dense fog, suddenly found himself back on the cliff of that mountain.
Looking back, there was a cloud of mist between the top of the mountain and himself, and he had already crossed a long distance before he knew it and came to the lower cliff.
Below him were still clouds and mists, presumably after entering the clouds, there would be another kind of trial.
“Overcome the eight great sufferings of life, get out of the cycle of reincarnation, and step on the path of immortality... This means that I have to go through the eight great sufferings before I can enter the real Wise Immortal Mansion, right?”
Bai Qiuran looked at the clouds and mist below, then walked on the almost vertical cliff, and continued to walk down a cloud of mist.
Anyway, he was brave and bold. Whether he could enter the real Wise Immortal Mansion after experiencing the eight great sufferings, he has to make a breakthrough first.
Passing through the clouds and mist again, there was another familiar sense of spatial dislocation. Bai Qiuran simply started to figure out the spatial transmission mechanism in this cloud and mist. Just when he felt that he was about to touch a doorway, the clouds and mist dissipated and he again arrived at a new space.
Different from the first space, this time, he came to an open-air space. The left and right sides are still bottomless abysses. A stone path that can only be passed by one person extends into the distance, but the sky has gone from black. The lacquered rock wall turned into a yellow and dim sky like the setting sun.
There seems to be a prohibition above the passage, which was used to suppress the cultivators who could fly with swords so that they could only move on this single-plank bridge with their feet.
The sky full of dim light gave people an illusion of aging. Bai Qiuran looked left and right and found a stone monument exactly the same as before on a floating stone platform beside the passage, which read:
[No matter you are rich or poor, your hair will eventually go white. 】
After a while, the inscription changed again and became six characters:
[The second suffering: the suffering of aging. 】
“Aging...?”
Bai Qiuran blinked, he was a little curious.
“How does this Immortal Mansion let cultivators experience the suffering of aging? Could it be that it has the ability to manipulate time?”
