Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

I entered the pavilion with hesitation. This was too suspicious. But with everyone sitting down as well, I had no other choice but to follow suit. I sat down in the lotus position, and closed my eyes. Nothing seemed to happen.

"You are an interesting boy. Let us see how much you can withstand now." a girl whispered in my ears.

"What? Who is this?" I opened my eyes to look around. For some reason, I was standing, and this entire place felt so unreal. And, the place that I was at was not the pavilion that I just entered. It was a dark room, and I could not see anyone around me. I had changed locations.

"You don\'t need to know who I am. I am just here to test you. Let us see what talent you have." the same voice whispered in my ears. Even though she was not next to me. I knew that she was not next to me. It just didn\'t make any sense to me.

"I am going to dial it a little now. Let us see how much you can tolerate pain." mist appeared in front of me, and started swirling into a vortex. It materialized into a young girl, looking at me and giggling.

"What are you going to do?" I asked, trying to move forward. But there was something chaining me down to where I was standing. It was not visible, but there was some force around me, trying to take me somewhere as well.

The girl smiled at me.

"Can you withstand this pain now?" she smiled.

Zap!

As if someone was coursing electricity through me, I felt a huge shock throughout my body.

Ouch!

I winced for a moment. That pain surprised me. I looked at the girl with confusion next.

"What are you trying to do? Pain? Is this is a test of my endurance? This is painful, I admit, but I have been through worse. Why the hell are you doing this though? I have no idea who you are, and why I am in this mysterious space. What are you trying to do?" I asked, tilting my head to the right with confusion.

"What is happening? This is interesting? To think that you are not screaming. How different. It looks like you are more than you seem. I thought that you were just some random idiot. Well then, I think that you deserve an answer. You are in a dream space. That is where you are." the girl said.

"Who are you?" I asked again.

"For that answer, you have to go through something else now."

Aaaargh!

All of a sudden, the pain intensified. It was trying to gnaw at me, trying to eat away at my flesh. I clenched my fists and bit my lip. I forced my head to turn back to look at the girl. Coughing, I grinned.

"Now then, the answer. Who are you?"

The girl looked surprised.

"You are very interesting. It has been a while since I got someone like you to play with. I am the consciousness of this dream space. I AM the Pavillion of Dreams." the girl said.

"Why are you testing me like this? How is this a test of talent? This is just torture." I asked.

"One question at a time. Now that I answered you once, it is time to dial it up a little more." the girl said as she snapped her fingers.

Aaaaargh!

I clenched my fists harder. My eyes turned bloodshot. This was almost as painful as the time when I went through that metamorphosis with the Heaven Devouring art. And I remembered that the pain was so much that I blacked out then.

But I was not the same as I was back then. I changed. I steeled my gaze and let go of my hands. I clenched my fists so hard that they were supposed to bleed. But they weren\'t. They did not even pain. But that pain was probably being drowned by the magnitude of pain that this girl was forcing to me.

"Aaaargh!" I shouted once more as I looked at her. Forcing my mouth wide, I showed her my teeth.

"Now then, how is this a test of talent?" I asked, barely able to talk. This was getting too painful by the moment.

"You actually can go through with this? Surprising. Well then, in the Sky Heaven\'s sect, we don\'t care about how talented you are. We care about how crazy you are. There are geniuses all over the world, but how many of them actually become great people? Too many geniuses die every day. But only the crazy people make an impact in this world. We want to find the crazy people. And now I know that I found one here." the girl beamed.

I looked at her with my mind blank. This was too much to process, especially with the pain. But one thing was sure. What she said might have been crazy at first, but it made total sense.

"What an ingenious idea. But can you stop this torture now please?" I asked.

"Not yet. I want to see how much you can keep going. It is not every day that I can get a toy, I mean a disciple that I can push so much." the girl said.

"How much you can push me? What kind of question is that? You are bordering on insane now. Crazy might be good in your dictionary, but insane is bad everywhere." I shouted at her.

Snap!

The girl snapped her fingers once more, and my expression changed. The next thing I said didn\'t come out of my mouth. It just disappeared. No sound came out of my mouth. It was just too painful. My body felt like it was going to burst open at any instant now.

Snap!

"Too bad. It looks like he doesn\'t want to break you anymore. Just when I was having some fun, he just had to ruin it." the girl pouted.
