Chapter 417: Chapter 207 Righteousness Hall_2

"Speak." The Devil Instructor turned to her.

Zisang Liuying said, "Why is it that despite being the first to pass the test, our reward is less than theirs?"

The Devil Instructor said, "Because while at the final stage you held on for three minutes, they managed to beat us to some extent. Do you understand?"

Zisang Liuying was stunned. She subconsciously turned to look at Long Dangdang, while the other teams had no doubt because they had seen it firsthand.

Won? Did Long Dangdang’s team actually beat the three instructors? How was that possible?

The Devil Instructor continued, "Starting from today, the training has entered the third stage. This stage will be much easier compared to the previous ones. Therefore, you can ease up a bit."

What was this about ease? No one felt at ease after listening to the instructor’s words.

The Devil Instructor slightly chuckled, "You don’t believe me? Well, you’ll see in due time. While the training is said to span three months, the training period for the final stage isn’t strict. Some might complete it in a short while, while others might require a considerable duration."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt even more unsettled.

Lunatic Instructor interjected, "The goal of the third stage is to nurture and test your willpower. After all, even if a person is very powerful, if their heart isn’t pure, they aren’t suitable to become a qualified demon hunter. That’s why this stage is called Righteousness Training. You’ll be training in the Righteousness Hall, a collaborative development by the Magic Temple and the Priests Temple. What you need to do is to pass your mental test. A pure heart means a righteous person, a calm heart means a stable person. After this stage, regardless of your previous scores, positive or negative, you will become an official demon hunter."

After hearing this, everyone seemed somewhat baffled. What did righteousness mean? None of them knew. Many of them were hearing about the Righteousness Hall for the first time.

Long Dangdang turned to look at Ling Menglu, who gave him a nod.

Ling Menglu began earnestly, "The Righteousness Hall, as far as I know, was jointly developed by the two Temples after the emergence of wraith entities. It is meant to cleanse the dark aspects of a professionist’s heart. Among the wraith entities, some are summoned spirits of the dead. The pain, resentment and other negative emotions harboured by these deceased individuals before their death are triggered, resulting in powerful wraith entities. The purpose of the Righteousness Hall is to cleanse these dark aspects, eliminating the possibility of them turning into wraiths after death due to these negative emotions."

Long Kongkong snickered, "So are they brainwashing us then?"

Long Dangdang retorted, "Shut up."

Ling Menglu reminded, "Our conversations in the Spirit Crystal could be monitored."

Long Kongkong huffed, "Are they silencing us now?"

Ming Xi voiced, "To cultivate purity of heart sounds good to me. Doesn’t it mean that once we pass, we will have hearts of righteousness?"

Wang Changxin queried, "What defines righteousness and evil? Who has the authority to classify righteousness and evil?"

Tao Linlin shrugged, "Anyway, we will have to go there. We’ll figure it out then. No point guessing now."

Yue Li agreed, "Exactly, let’s stop guessing. We’ll learn soon enough."

The teleportation this time was quick. Under the guidance of the three instructors, they arrived directly at the Temple Alliance Headquarters. Naturally, they were very familiar with the place.

However, to enter the Righteousness Hall, one had to pass through a teleportation array formation. This array formation does not belong to any of the Six Great Sacred Temples but is located deep within the Temple Headquarters in a dedicated room.

Upon entering the room, what you see first is white. Within the room, whether it is the walls, the floor, the ceiling, or all the magic array formations, they all emit a soft white glow. This mellow white color gives people a strange feeling. It’s as if upon entering, all emotions would calm down.

An elderly man wearing a luxurious mage’s robe from the Magic Temple approached them, "Welcome to the Righteousness Hall. From initial conception to establishment, it took ten years. It has only been officially put into use in the last three years. You don’t need to worry about anything. The Righteousness Hall is not for brainwashing. Here, what you will gain is your own spiritual protector. Through the adjustments of the Righteousness Hall, your hearts will all possess their own persistence. And what that persistence is will be decided by you. Some people may choose to protect justice, others their family, but everyone will have something deep in their hearts they wish to protect. Thus, you can use this to set your hearts on the right path so that you will not lose your way or fall into depravity. When you return from the Righteousness Hall, what you need to do is report to the Temple what your target for upholding your heart is. The Temple will record it and help you protect it together, ensuring peace in your hearts."

Long Kongkong blinked, thinking to himself, am I being monitored? It seemed like the remark about not being brainwashed was directed at him!

The Devil Instructor said: "Teleportation will be carried out according to the demon hunting team. Once you enter, you will naturally understand what you should do. I wish you a quick return. Demon Hunter Team 19115897, step forward."

Without a doubt, Long Dangdang and his companions showed the best performance in the previous training, so they were the first ones called out.

For some reason, at this time, Long DangDang felt a bit nervous. The seven of them walked out together and moved to the center of the room filled with a magical array formation.

"Sit in place. Concentrate and guard your inner self."

Everyone sat down as instructed, and the next moment, they felt a massive fluctuation in the elements starting to appear.

Their bodies felt as if they were bound by a special power, a tremendous force that they absolutely could not resist. Their whole bodies started to feel the pain of being compressed. Just when they felt they could no longer bear the pain, suddenly, their bodies relaxed, and all the bindings disappeared.

Long Dangdang opened his eyes subconsciously, but he was surprised to find that all he could see was a world blanketed in white.

Everything around him was white, and he was floating in the middle of this white space. Besides himself, it seemed as if the only color here was white.

However, his spiritual fluctuations became increasingly active, seemingly more active than when he was in the outside world.

In his mind, various thoughts continuously emerged. He subconsciously closed his eyes, not looking at the white world outside, but the moment he closed his eyes, the thoughts that came to mind turned into clear pictures, continuously appearing in his mind.

Playing with his younger brother, the love of his parents, his cultivation after school, continuous improvement, his teachers’ guidance, up to everything that happened after entering the Spirit Furnace Academy.

All these things were swiftly yet so clearly presented in his mind, with images flashing by one after another.

Suddenly, Long Dangdang abruptly opened his eyes, gasping heavily. Because he found that only by opening his eyes and looking at the white world in front of him does the wave of thoughts in his mind slow down a bit, instead of being continuously released.

He felt a bit confused. He subconsciously rubbed his temples. What was happening to him? What exactly should he do for this righteousness?

It was said earlier that he needs to find what’s most important in his heart and protect it to uphold his heart’s righteousness. So, what was the most important thing in his heart? Father, mother, Kongkong, or...

The same situation not only happened to him but also everyone who has entered the Righteousness Hall for the righteousness process. Since the establishment of the Righteousness Hall, every Demon Hunter has to go through this. This has become the most crucial rule!
