Ling Chen groaned, maybe this level is a test of people's grasp of will. Unfortunately, these are not for him. Because he still has a lot of obsessions that he can't let go...

Suppressing the floating mood, Ling Chen stepped again and walked up the eighth step.

On the steps of this place, a futon appeared. At the same time, a baby also appeared here.

"Ling Chen, this level is guarded by me personally. As I said before, you have to get my approval. So, get past me and you've succeeded. The baby said in a childish tone, still so yin and yang. Obviously, it is the spirit of the fetish.

Hearing this, Ling Chen also had a hint of joy in his heart. But he still suppressed it and asked quietly: "What is the test of this level?"

"Sit. The baby did not reply, but spat out a short word. And pointed to the futon on the ground with his petite finger and said.

Ling Chen sat down cross-legged as he said.

"Before I begin, I want to ask you. Do you know what is good and what is evil?" the baby asked, suspended in the void.

"What is good for oneself is called good, and what is not good for oneself is called evil. Ling Chen replied.

In layman's terms, this is when you judge the distinction between good and evil from your own subjective standpoint. What, then, is good and evil to the world?" the baby asked again.

Ling Chen touched his chin, thought for a while, and replied: "Why do you have to judge a benchmark to measure good and evil? There is no distinction between good and evil in the world, if we insist on imposing it, then aren't we evil? Good and evil depend on choice, one thought creates the world, and the other thought destroys the world." Who can tell the difference? In this turbulent world, all we have to do is protect ourselves wisely. ”

The baby seemed to have some praise and said: "At a young age, it is not easy to have such a heart. After a pause, he said, "Let's start the test of this level, let's get ready to start." ”

When Ling Chen saw this, he wanted to get up.

"Not necessarily. This test is whether your body and soul are adapted to the gods, just sit down and stabilize your mind. The baby said.

Immediately, the baby said, "Are you ready?"

Ling Chen froze, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said, "Ready." ”

Hearing this, the baby's delicate arm waved lightly at Ling Chen.

Suddenly, a cloud of inky juice appeared above Ling Chen's head. Then the baby's little hand pressed lightly against the void. The inky juice melted into Ling Chen's Heavenly Spirit Cover. And with that comes great suffering.

These inky juices first invaded Ling Chen's primordial spirit, and then scattered around, encroaching on every inch of flesh and blood in his body. Moreover, it has a strong corrosive effect. Ling Chen hadn't reached the Qi Refining Realm, so he didn't have the spiritual power to resist this corrosive effect.

Also, his primordial spirit is also suffering from strong corrosion. And his spiritual power swept over these inky juices, but he didn't feel the slightest hostility. It's as if they were born to be one, and they can't be stopped at all. As a result, it is even more impossible to stop its erosion. So he could only hold on, hoping that this pain would end soon.

Not only the original god, but also his physical body felt cold, and all kinds of negative emotions came like a tide. This kind of mental and physical double blow made Ling Chen almost crazy.

As time passed, the ink juices seemed to be devouring and festering. Ling's already emaciated body was even more skinny at this time. His hair was gray, and there was no blood on his body. The Yuan Shen was even more shriveled and looked bleak.

However, the ink-colored juice in his body had almost dissipated, and only wisps remained.

Eventually, the ink juice dissipated. And Ling Chen is almost a skeleton, and he can't find the slightest feeling of being alive.

It didn't take long for Ling Chen's body to quickly bulge out as if it had been inflated, and his body and spirit had regained their original fullness. And, it seems, they've all gotten tougher. However, Ling Chen's strength and injuries have not recovered in the slightest, but they have just returned to the original. Moreover, his mental burden is getting heavier and heavier, and that kind of painful torture is very enduring.

After resting for a while, Ling Chen opened his eyes.

"The degree of fit is only about 40%, which is not very ideal. But if you can endure this pain, you will be considered successful. The baby said.

Instead, the light curtain on the eighth floor vanished. Looking at the inky runes on the desk, close at hand. Ling Chen smiled, smiled knowingly.

"Ling Chen, from today on, you are my master. Now you have the qualifications to reach the top. But remember, although my power is great, I am only a spiritual creature after all, and I have to rely on myself for everything. The baby said.

Looking at Ling Chen, the baby said again, "Go and merge with it." ”

Ling Chen looked at the baby and took a deep look. "Thank you." He walked towards the ninth staircase. The thing that was close at hand, even Ling Chen had a joy that could not be concealed. At the end of the day, he's just a fourteen-year-old.

The baby looked at Ling Chen's departing back, but for some reason there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes.

As soon as Ling Chen's feet stepped on the steps, the picture changed. It has become a world of birds and flowers.

Ling Chen looked at this place carefully, but there was nothing except flowers and trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts. However, the scenery here is unforgettable, like a fairyland on earth.

Ling Chen watched it, and he forgot about it.

"Ling Chen. ”

Suddenly, a gentle call pulled Ling Chen's thoughts back to reality, but Ling Chen's heart shook inexplicably.

This voice ...... Ling Chen didn't dare to think about it, but he had to think about it.

Ling Chen turned around tremblingly, and what caught his eyes was a girl in a white dress like a lotus flower, and her playful little face was full of happiness at this time. The jet-black hair falls like a waterfall, and the white dress looks fresh and moving.

That playful little face, Ling Chen will never forget it for the rest of his life. For her, Ling Chen changed everything about herself. Just to be able to see her again.

"Look at you like this......" The girl smiled softly, and her big eyes were bent into two crescents. The already playful face added a touch of emotion.

"You...... How could it be ......?" Ling Chen asked in a trembling voice.

When the girl heard this, she pursed her lips, and said to Ling Chen with resentment in her eyes: "You haven't come to see people for so long, people miss you, so I came to see you." As he spoke, he snorted softly.

Ling Chen stared at the girl and just smiled. The softness in his eyes is about to turn into water.

The girl stared at Ling Chen, with a slight hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. said, "Are you wood?" said, and gave Ling Chen's head a burst with his little white hand.

However, the girl did not stand tall, so she had to stand on tiptoe. Looking at this scene, it makes people feel extremely funny.

The girl seemed to be a little angry, and said viciously: "I won't tell you, everyone is here!"

"Everyone?" Ling Chen was puzzled.

"Whoa"

The girl pouted at Ling Chen's back and said.

Seeing this, Ling Chen looked behind him suspiciously.

A thatched hut, a stone platform. Next to him stood the familiar figure. A plainly dressed young couple, the familiar faces made the corners of Ling Chen's eyes sour. They smiled and opened their arms, and said in that gentle tone, "Coming back?"

On the side, a figure appeared again. This person has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his temples are slightly white. There was also a faint smile on that calm face. said: "Chen'er, are you slacking off on your homework today?"

Immediately after that, a figure appeared, whose face was only a few years older than Ling Chen's, and his body was unusually strong. He laughed loudly: "Xiaochen, why haven't you reached the Qi Cultivation Realm yet?"

A slightly chubby young man of the same age as Ling Chen said with a smile: "Chenzi, a group of acrobats are here in the east of the town, let's go and have fun at night!"

One figure after another appeared. These are the people that the early morning is familiar with. Every word of their voice is so heartwarming, or ridicule, or concern, or faint criticism...... Perhaps this is the so-called happiness, everything that Ling Chen can't rest assured of.

Looking at them, Ling Chen smiled. Unconsciously, two tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, which were tears of joy.

Gently wiping away the tears, Ling Chen muttered, "Although I really want to be with you, this is a dream after all." Even if it's a dream, there will always be a time to wake up...... Besides, some of them are no longer there. With that, Ling Chen looked at a young couple who stretched out his arms and waited. Immediately, Ling Chen stepped forward with a few arrows and threw himself into the arms of the couple.

"So warm, so happy. Ling Chen said.

However, he could not survive for long. Because he knows that the time given is running out.

Struggled to break free from the warm embrace, Ling Chen's hands formed a complex and heavy set of handprints, and at the same time, two pairs of patterns flashed in his eyes.

Ling Chen shouted: "Solution!"

Bang bang bang!

Three muffled voices came from Ling Chen's head.

The girl gave Ling Chen three bursts, and said angrily: "What are you doing!"

Ling Chen, the printing method of both hands changed, and the pattern in the original eyes appeared in the center of the eyebrows. A dim mass of primordial spirits flew out and sat cross-legged on top of the seal.

As the seal ended, Ling Chen's primordial spirit ignited a strong fire. The original dim spirit is reflected very brightly.

"Break!" Ling Chen yelled.

Still hasn't changed anything, the original god is still burning in the firelight.

In the early morning, he hurriedly changed the seal again, the fire disappeared, and the original god returned to the depths of his eyebrows.

"How so?" Ling Chen was puzzled.

The girl was displeased, and snorted and said, "Because this is true." Really, why are you getting more and more confused?"

Looking at Ling Chen's solemn expression, the girl also seemed to feel something abnormal, put away her joking face, and said, "Let's go over quickly." As he spoke, he pulled Ling Chen to the opposite side.

Ling Chen's brows furrowed deeply, this was not an illusion. But why is it so unreal? Ling Chen doesn't understand.

"Forget it, that's fine. With that, he walked towards everyone with the girl.

A group of people, you and I say a word, so it's not lively. And Ling Chen gradually integrated into this atmosphere and chatted with everyone.

And just like that, time passed little by little. Even Ling Chen forgot his original purpose. He was already immersed in it, and he got carried away.

However, Ling Chen, who was spending time in laughter, changed his face. A mouthful of reverse blood spurted out and splashed on the bodies of a group of people.

The girl's white dress also bloomed blood-colored lotus flowers at this time. In those big smart eyes, they were full of doubts and puzzles at this time...... Looking at Ling Chen's pale face, the girl smiled slightly. The ruddy little mouth opened and gently spat out a word......

Ling Chen had a splitting headache at this time, and he had no perception of things in the outside world. Now he was curled up on the ground, wailing in pain. What a heart-wrenching pain this is, it feels like the whole person has been wasted.

Just as Ling Chen continued to wail, the picture had already turned again, and Ling Chen was already lying on the steps of the ninth floor.

The baby appeared at some point, and said, "Congratulations, my true master, the test is complete." Your future will be rewritten today. ”

But at this time, the hero didn't seem to hear this, and he was still wailing on the steps......
