--- Chapter 188 ---

Baek Ain observed the surrounding muddy ocean and glanced at the people on the island. They are people from Pill Tower, Ancient Clans, his lovers, and disciples.

After that, Baek Ain raised his gaze to the sky and saw a bright sun hanging in the azure domain.

"We are currently in a pocket dimension." Gu Yuan was the first to open his mouth. "Unfortunately, it wasn't a dangerous but trial-type pocket dimension."

"We are lucky."

'Lucky? I fucking wonder!' Baek Ain ridiculed Gu Yuan's lucky statement.

He didn't hate Gu Yuan, but there was no way in hell this current situation was 'remotely' considered lucky.

In the original story, Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would let them experience something similar to their greatest desire, but it would be fake.

It sounds easy. However, overcoming the greatest desire is often the hardest thing to do.

Even a simple one is hard to pass by.

Still, it's better than the mysterious female cultivator's little game.

'She was actually able to influence the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.' Baek Ain sighed. He admitted that he underestimated the mysterious female cultivator's prowess from the upper realm.

Fortunately, as long as the mysterious female cultivator is still in this low plane, she won't be able to use her full power.

If they had to fight, Baek Ain was confident to bring down Dou God, who hadn't mastered any bullshit-type skills like altering fate or something similar.

Baek Ain walked to the sandy beach and placed his hand down on the muddy seawater. Just from a touch, a vision suddenly attacked his mind, and it was something related to getting a jackpot from Sign In.

He was thrilled but soon discovered it was fake.

'Fck. I didn't hear Alicia's notification. What a scam!' Baek Ain cursed in his head.

[...]

[This is how you solve your inner desire?]

'You have a problem with it?' Baek Ain countered immediately.

[No...] Even Alicia thought Baek Ain's method was unique.

Baek Ain ignored her and kept testing the muddy seawater, increasing the reach and bottom of it. After a while, he discovered the far or deeper one away from the Isle of Bodhisattva, and the dream or vision they received became more realistic and hard to resist.

It becomes so realistic Baek Ain feels numbly bitter because all those juicy rewards were empty airs.

"Okay, I'll explain what I discover." Baek Ain clapped his hand.New novel chapters are published on

"Listen well, this will decide your survival."

The people nodded and listened to Baek Ain's explanation attentively. The three leaders and Baek Ain's lovers, in particular, frown upon knowing the muddy ocean's effect.

"This is weird... Just what's the purpose of this trial?" Someone uttered.

Baek Ain checked the person and responded, "In my opinion, this trial is to test yourself against temptation. However, I could be wrong."

"What should we do?" Gu Yuan stared at Baek Ain's eyes.

Yao Dan gazed into the muddy ocean and added, "Yeah. We can't leave them behind like this."

Baek Ain closed his eyes and used [Parallel Thinking], trying to solve this problem. Baek Ain wants to put himself in the mysterious female cultivator's position, but he doesn't know anything about her.

On top of that, women are unpredictable creatures.

Sometimes, they are easy to reason with, and one second later, they become unreasonable.

It's like rolling gacha on how they act.

Wait, rolling?

Chasing Dream?

Baek Ain's eyes lit up as he landed on the island, touching the muddy water on the beach. As inner desire vision attacked his mind and heart again, a smirk formed on his face.

"Brother Dan, Chief Yuan."

"Come down."

"I know how to complete the trials."

"Eh, really? So fast." Yao Dan was surprised.

Gu Yuan nodded in similar emotion. "Yeah, Grandmaster Lin's problem-solving ability is a little too fast."

Baek Ain smiled and explained, "The muddy ocean is our way out."

"As we sink deeper and deeper into the muddy ocean, our heart will be enlightened and enter a profound realm where inner desire won't maintain our mind."

In the sky, the mysterious female cultivator smiled.

"Tsk, what a smart fellow."

"Thousand Refining Muddy Flood is an array formation that could wash one's ugly desire away. And he discovered this in a matter of minutes."

Baek Ain, Yao Dan, and Gu Yuan prepared themselves and walked forward into the ocean. Their feet sink in as their whole body is 'instantly' swallowed by the muddy inner desire.

The world turned upside down.

Baek Ain closed his eyes, "To chase a Dream, One must wake up!"

The sentences echoed in the muddy water and reached everyone who soaked inside it. They recited Baek Ain's words and slowly overcame their ugly side.

Baek Ain watched countless dark desires assault his mind and soul, but he wasn't affected much.

[Ding! You have achieved 'The Awakened' Title]

[Name: The Awakened]

[Effect: The Awakened shall resist the corruption, -50% damage taken from Spiritual-type Attack]

Baek Ain grinned and commented, 'This isn't bad.'

'Damn, that woman actually gave me such a chance. Hehe, I wish she had more of this so I could get more titles and skills.'

If the mysterious female cultivator knew what Baek Ain was thinking, she probably would throw a fit. Does this fellow think Heavenly Sovereign-grade Array Formation is cabbage?!

Well, the trial just got started.
