"This is the Inner Demons Mirror," the elder explained. "It reflects not just your physical appearance but the darkest parts of your soul—the inner demons that haunt you. To pass this test, you must confront the deepest fears, insecurities, and evil within yourself. Only those who can overcome these challenges will pass."
A murmur spread through the crowd. Many of the participants exchanged nervous glances. Confronting physical danger was one thing, but facing their own inner demons? That was a trial that scared even the most battle-hardened cultivators.
