Chapter 999: Childlike Heart

"What a joke? Even the elders go into the Heart-Questioning Forest, and they can't come out this fast. Bai Guang actually walked straight out?"

"Could the formation be malfunctioning? The Heart-Questioning Forest is a top-grade ninth-rank formation. For the younger generation, the fastest time to come out is half a day."

"Forget it! If the formation were broken, why haven't Rong Ning and Wu Mo come out yet?"

"That kid named Ye Yuan is eerily strange. Now Bai Guang has become just as strange?"

Bai Guang walking straight out of the Heart-Questioning Forest instantly caused an uproar among all the White Tiger clansmen.

Such a direct passage through the Heart-Questioning Forest had never happened since ancient times.

Unless it was someone like Ye Yuan, whose state of mind had reached the terrifying realm of unity between heaven and man, even an elder at the Divine King realm would be trapped for a short while.

As for the younger generation, there was no need to mention it.

"Great Elder, there must be something suspicious here! Bai Guang must have cheated; otherwise, how could he have directly passed through the Heart-Questioning Forest?" Rong Yin said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Wu Qian, the clan leader of the Zhenwu clan, could no longer sit still. He cupped his hands and said, "Great Elder, this matter is too strange. We must get to the bottom of it!"

With both clans stepping forward, Bai Jue naturally couldn't sit idly by. He quickly said, "Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it can't happen in the future! Bai Guang's strength cannot be judged by common sense. If you can't afford to lose, then withdraw from the young clan leader competition. Why slander others here?"

To be honest, Bai Jue was also extremely surprised, but Bai Guang was the young master of the Liuguang clan. At this moment, he couldn't back down, so he immediately retorted.

Just as Rong Kun was about to speak, Bai Guang cupped his hands and said, "Great Elder, before the test, Bai Guang had already handed over all his storage rings. There's no way I could carry any treasures. If the Great Elder is still uneasy, I am willing to undergo an inspection. But if it turns out I didn't cheat, then what?"

Bai Guang was as steady as an abyss, showing no sign of weakness as he looked at Rong Yin.

As a candidate for the young clan leader of the White Tiger clan, he naturally had to reclaim his dignity after being wrongfully accused.

Pressed by Bai Guang's words, Rong Yin found himself in a difficult position.

But he would never believe that Bai Guang could pass through the Heart-Questioning Forest in such a short time.

"Hmph! If it turns out you didn't cheat, I'll step down as clan leader!" Rong Yin snorted coldly.

At these words, everyone was shocked. This joke was going too far. Rong Yin was actually betting his position as clan leader, which seemed too impulsive.

But Rong Yin had a grudge in his heart, prompting him to stake his clan leadership.

Originally, the Chiyan clan had been in a favorable position, and Rong Yin had been riding high.

But ever since Ye Yuan entered the White Tiger clan, everything had gone wrong for the Chiyan clan.

Not only was there the incident of the traitor, but Rong Xing also lost his qualification as a young clan leader candidate. Now, the Chiyan clan had become the laughingstock of the entire White Tiger clan.

If he couldn't bring down Bai Guang even with such obvious cheating, then his role as clan leader was meaningless.

Rong Kun's face darkened and he said, "Stop this nonsense! How can the position of clan leader be used for a bet? Bai Guang, it's not that I don't trust you, but your matter is indeed too suspicious. You know that since the Heart-Questioning Forest was built, no one has ever passed through so quickly, not even a Divine King elder! Can you tell me why this happened?"

Bai Guang bowed and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, after I entered the Heart-Questioning Forest, I saw nothing and just walked straight out. If the Great Elder insists on an explanation, I really can't say why. So, if the Great Elder is uneasy, it's better to conduct an inspection."

Bai Guang sounded innocent, but he wasn't lying. The illusions of the Heart-Questioning Forest had no effect on him at all.

Hearing Bai Guang's words, Rong Kun felt helpless and had to say, "In that case, let's conduct an inspection to convince everyone. Bai Guang, are you willing?"

Bai Guang naturally had no objections, because no matter what methods they used, they couldn't detect how he had cheated.

While the White Tiger clan was busy inspecting Bai Guang, in Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye complained smugly, "Haha, these fools! Even if they brought out a divine artifact, they couldn't detect my presence! But you, kid, are really insidious, thinking of such a means to cheat. So despicable!"

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "You seem to be enjoying it, don't you? Earlier, when I asked for your help, you were a hundred times unwilling!"

At this, the smugness on the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye's face vanished, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You brat, you still have the nerve to say that! You're practically a jinx! Do you know that splitting off a strand of divine sense could cause my primordial spirit to collapse?"

Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Isn't it fine now? Besides, as a trade-off, I've taught you the Inkflow Divine Sense Splitting Technique, which is a divine path secret technique!"

The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye snorted coldly but said nothing more.

It turned out that to help Bai Guang pass through the Heart-Questioning Forest, Ye Yuan had used both persuasion and coercion to make the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye practice the Inkflow Divine Sense Splitting Technique, then split off a strand of divine sense onto Bai Guang's eyes.

The terror of the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye lay not only in his mastery of illusions but also in his ability to see through all falsehoods!

An illusion of the Heart-Questioning Forest's level was child's play to him and posed no obstacle.

So, Bai Guang had indeed cheated, but the method of cheating was impossible for anyone to detect.

The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye was inherently difficult to capture, and it was too easy to evade everyone's notice. Moreover, he was not a magical artifact, so he wasn't afraid of being detected by the White Tiger clan.

Sure enough, the White Tiger clan even brought out a top-grade saint artifact, but still couldn't find anything wrong with Bai Guang.

Seeing this, Rong Yin's face grew increasingly ugly.

"Reporting to the Great Elder, Bai Guang is not carrying any magical artifacts!"

With this conclusion, everyone was in an uproar again.

Without relying on any magical artifact, Bai Guang had directly penetrated the Heart-Questioning Forest. This was simply too incredible.

"Great Elder, if everyone still thinks there's a problem, Bai Guang is willing to go through the Heart-Questioning Forest again!" Bai Guang cupped his hands.

Before Rong Kun could answer, Bai Guang leaped and entered the Heart-Questioning Forest.

Dozens of breaths later, Bai Guang's figure rushed out of the Heart-Questioning Forest again. At this, everyone was speechless.

"Great Elder, this... Could Bai Guang have a childlike heart?" Bai Yi suddenly said.

The Great Elder's face stiffened, and he looked at Bai Guang as if he were a monster. He slowly nodded and said, "It seems that's the only explanation! I never expected that Bai Guang not only broke through to saint-level bloodline but also possesses a legendary childlike heart. Truly remarkable!"
