Chapter 2435

Yan Aoan nodded slightly. "Let me take a look. The questions are actually quite difficult. At least, I lack the basic medical knowledge required for them."

"You aren't a doctor," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Besides, I intentionally increased the difficulty this time. Let’s see their true level."

For Fang Zheng and the other disciples, the challenge wasn't about one person failing, but a group struggling. There was no need to worry about individuals not knowing the answers. The real test was how well they had mastered and consolidated their knowledge.

Zhu Yanyi did this to better understand the actual situation of her sect's disciples.

Yan Aoan nodded slightly. His wife was indeed a qualified teacher. "Apart from these exams, where do you plan to place the moral character test?"

"Directly in the sect square," Zhu Yanyi said straightforwardly. "I will set up an illusion array, but it needs your barrier inside. This way, the illusion within the barrier cannot be broken. It will leave a very deep impression on them. I don't want people with dark hearts. Of course, if such a person can reflect on themselves, I will still accept them. After all, no one is perfect."

The disciples came from all walks of life. Zhu Yanyi wanted them to love the Azure Sovereign Sect. She didn't care about their pasts.

Zhu Yanyi was quite casual. She valued the present more. She didn't care about the past, as long as they protected the Azure Sovereign Sect she had built in her territory. It was somewhat like becoming a Buddha on the spot.

This way of thinking was normal. Basically, everyone thought similarly.

According to Zhu Yanyi, human hearts had levels. For example, her heart was boundless and vast when it came to medicine, but very narrow when it came to personal matters.

Everyone had a selfish side. Zhu Yanyi admitted she had one too. Precisely because no one was perfect, she was who she was today.

If a person were flawless, they wouldn't be human, nor a god. Even the Black Emperor and the Empress had their own selfish desires. Therefore, a person without selfishness truly did not exist.

Some said Buddha was selfless and impartial. Zhu Yanyi never agreed with this.

Actually, Buddha also had selfishness. Zhu Yanyi remembered a song called Buddha Says. The lyrics were like this:

One thought makes a Buddha, one thought makes a demon.

If you don't help me become a Buddha, I will lead you to become a demon.

Buddha smiles holding a flower, countless Dharma teachings are subtle.

Karma is not false, good and evil have their rewards.

All beings chant Buddha's name.

Namo Amitabha, life is like a dream, wasting time.

Red spider lilies bloom on the other shore.

How to cross the Bridge of Helplessness?

One thought is hell, one thought is heaven.

One thought makes hearts panic.

The heartbroken person grieves, grief breaks the heart.

Two lines of resentful tears, tears in two lines.

One thought flowers bloom, one thought flowers fall.

One thought is right, one thought is wrong.

Who passes by when flowers are in full bloom?

Whose fault is it when flowers fall?

Buddha, open your eyes.

Look at those ugly faces.

Evil people wait for your grace.

Good people beg for your forgiveness.

Buddha, I believe in you.

But where are you exactly?

I walked ten thousand miles on foot.

You say Buddha is in the heart.

Buddha says turning back is the shore.

Turning back, there is no home to look forward to.

There are thousands of prodigals in the world.

Who wants to be separated from family?

Buddha says fate is self-made.

Yet cannot escape the Heavenly Dao.

Why was I born if I cannot laugh?

Destroying me does not reduce my arrogance.

Buddha says all beings are equal.

I waited for five hundred years.

Five hundred years of wind, frost, snow, and moon.

Five hundred years of cold.

Buddha says put down the butcher's knife.

Become a Buddha, no longer a demon.

The fire burns on Huaguo Mountain.

Can it be wiped away with one stroke?

Buddha, you hate evil like an enemy.

Dust covers your eyes.

Evil people rise, good people suffer.

They cannot beg you to turn back.

Buddha, you accumulate virtue and do good.

Why avoid that battle?

How many lives are destroyed, families scattered.

Who are you showing kindness to?

Buddha, you ignore and don't care.

You say all beings are hard to save.

Where is the road to heaven from hell?

Do you know officials protect each other?

Buddha, you are moody.

Too confused about the world.

If the sky falls and you don't resist.

I am willing to be the eternal Demon King.

Buddha says who is without fault.

Have you never made a mistake?

You judge good and evil.

Where are the utterly wicked?

Buddha says all things are empty.

Yet you pass through spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Since you are equal to all beings.

Why are you not in the Five Elements?

Buddha, you have a hollow reputation.

How can the world be peaceful?

The Bodhisattva who saves from suffering.

Why haven't you shown your spirit yet?

Buddha is not a sage.

Never greedy for incense money.

Kneeling before Buddha for three thousand years.

Yet I haven't seen my Buddha feel pity.

Buddha says don't think of the red dust.

Enter the empty gate.

Buddha says no love brings joy.

But how can the heart be at peace without love?

Rather go to the Underworld's Ghost Gate.

Than enter your Spirit Mountain.

Of course, these lyrics were somewhat one-sided. But regardless, they showed that even Buddha could not achieve true selflessness and fairness.

As long as one belonged to the living beings of this world, they would have their own biases. It was very normal for Zhu Yanyi to have a biased heart.

With Zhu Yanyi's current cultivation, she could only protect her Azure Sovereign Sect disciples. So, as long as these disciples had the Azure Sovereign Sect in their hearts, no matter what they did before, Zhu Yanyi was willing to help them.

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aoan. Yan Aoan naturally had no objections. "In that case, you might as well set up a long-term trial ground. After all, the disciples' competitions won't just happen once. It can be used then. Besides, you can't stay here guarding it forever, right?"

Hearing Yan Aoan's words, Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "You are right. In that case, I have indeed already established a long-term trial base."

After correcting the exam papers, Zhu Yanyi gave them to Zhuge Hongwen. She didn't ask about this matter anymore. As the saying goes, if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use them, don't doubt them. Zhu Yanyi then pulled Yan Aoan to set up the trial barrier.

The Fairy Empress heard about it and hurried over. The Fairy Empress had experience in this area. Before she became the Fairy Empress, she had only created things that tested people's mental states. So, she could naturally help Zhu Yanyi here.

The Black Emperor considered that the Azure Sovereign Sect disciples could also be considered his general disciples. After thinking for a moment, he decided to come and help as well.

Thus, the Three Emperors and Three Empresses thought together about how to do it. Slowly adding a little bit at a time, they actually created a unique trial ground.

Looking at the courtyard full of plants and flowers, the uneven rockeries, and the tinkling flowing water, who would have thought this place was originally a barren, empty wasteland? Now it had become a training ground.

"Coming here daily, one might think the scenery arrangement is quite nice," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Indeed, all masterpieces."

The Black Emperor pointed to the Ladder to Heaven nearby. "In the future, every disciple must undergo the Ladder to Heaven assessment no less than ten times. Only disciples who pass the Ladder to Heaven ten times and have a total of ten qualified assessments will be allowed to leave the mountain alone for training. Otherwise, they cannot go out."
