Chapter 40: The Immortal Body
On the steps that stretched one step at a time, a figure struggled to move forward, and each time it was pressed on the steps by that great force, but after a few minutes, the figure got up again and climbed upward, and was overwhelmed again, and the cycle repeatedly, like an unconscious corpse advancing.
This corpse is Lu Yu, who has climbed one step and has already stood on 3,000 steps.
What Lu Yu didn't know was that if he allowed himself to climb the Heavenly Ladder Mountain again now, with his current divine soul strength, he could easily step on the 2,500 steps.
When Lu Yu stepped on the 3,200 steps, there was less than half a day left before the final end.
Now every step has become extremely difficult, not only beyond the limit of his soul, but also as if his body is about to tear apart.
"Can you hold on to a hundred steps at most?"
It's not that Lu Yu doesn't want to continue climbing, because there is no point in doing that, the crushing of the body and the soul has already made Lu Yu feel that if he continues to climb forcibly, the soul may collapse, and the body will not be able to continue to control, which is the reason why Lu Yu is unwilling to continue.
If the souls collapsed, would Lu Yu still exist?
Lu Yu decisively chose to give up, his soul has been tempered by the 3,200 steps of Tiantai Mountain, and it takes a while to slowly precipitate, and even Lu Yu feels like he is dreaming when he reaches the harvest this time, what else can he not give up.
Just when Lu Yu was lying on the steps waiting for the end of the scientific expedition, Xia Yueming had just stepped on the 1,600 steps, and Xu Xia had only stepped over the 1,600 steps, if they knew that Lu Yu was now lying on the 3,200 steps, I was afraid that even the eyeballs would be pulled out.
On the examiner's platform on the other side, Yang Hao's eyes stared at the Tiantai Mountain in the light and shadow in front of him, silently watching the light spots flickering.
"Lord Shangshu, there is less than half an hour left before the end of the exam, and any of the candidates have climbed the four thousand steps this time?" Yao Guang, who was behind Yang Hao, asked.
"Difficult!"
Yang Hao tapped his finger on a point of light and said, "The highest level at present is 3753 steps, which is already very good. I remember that in the hundred years of the Gongyuan, there were only three students who had climbed the 4,000 steps of the Qi Refining Mirror, and they were all geniuses who had not been born for a hundred years, and their cultivation was basically the same as that of this official. ”
The test of the Divine Soul basically represents the future height of a monk.
Of course, this can't be said absolutely, on the way of cultivation, there are very few amazing geniuses who can grow up in the end, and most of them are like meteors flashing away in the sky.
Coupled with the opportunity and luck of every monk, no one dares to guarantee that the one who can laugh last is today's genius.
The more he saw this kind of thing, the more Yang Hao's heart felt lost, if he could really let those geniuses grow, then the mysterious Heavenly Dao would not be so difficult to peep into.
"This year's candidates are not bad, there are hundreds of candidates who have climbed the 3,000 steps, if nothing else, many of them will surpass their own officials."
"Lord Shangshu originally climbed the four thousand steps in the Qi Refining Mirror, and his future cultivation is unlimited!"
Yang Hao didn't make any comments on Yao Guang's words, and asked, "Have the qualifications, spiritual roots, and special physique been tested?" ”
Hearing this, Yao Guangyan handed a jade slip in his hand to Yang Hao and said: "Just came out, there are two hundred and eleven people with excellent qualifications, five people with heavenly spiritual roots, and two people with special physiques, which is more than the number of people in the previous three sessions." ”
The higher the qualification, the faster the speed of cultivation, so the cultivation attaches great importance to the level of each monk's qualification.
The spiritual root is divided into mortal, lower, medium and upper grades, and there are ...... heavenly products and immortal products above, the higher the spiritual root, the greater the power after cultivating a specific exercise, such as the water spiritual root, after the upper grade and the heavenly grade monks practice the same exercises, the power exerted by the heavenly spiritual root is at least three times that of the upper grade spiritual root.
However, monks with heavenly spiritual roots or above can be met but not sought, and it is very good to have five in a scientific expedition.
As for the special physique, it is the existence of one in a million, and even Yang Hao is excited.
"Two candidates with special physiques, have they been decided?"
"It has been confirmed, but in order not to attract the attention of other forces, the news has been blocked, and it will be tested in secret", even Yao Guang became cautious.
If this news spreads, it will inevitably arouse the peeps of various sects and families, and it is conceivable how fierce the competition will be, and even some sects and families will wipe it out in advance because of fear, which is also a normal thing.
Every time this kind of thing is encountered in a scientific expedition, the news will be blocked as soon as possible, and then it will be confirmed again in secret, and finally the matter will be completely covered up.
These are the conventions of previous scientific examinations, even Yao Guang did not dare to slack off, this kind of news is only known to the chief and deputy examiners, and the other examiners involved in the scientific examination do not even have the qualifications to contact this kind of news, which shows the importance of this kind of thing.
"Are those two special constitutions?"
"One is the body of the sun, and the other is the body of the immortal!"
"Immortal!"
No matter how good Yang Hao's qi cultivation skills are and how high his cultivation is, after hearing the immortal body, his face has changed greatly.
"Is the message really blocked?"
"It's true, after the official knew, he immediately asked several test teachers to make an oath that they would never mention this matter again for the rest of their lives, otherwise people's hearts will be destroyed and they will never be able to be reborn!"
Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good job!" After this incident, you should retreat for a while, for your own good! ”
"This official understands that after the end of the scientific expedition, he immediately announced to the public that his cultivation was about to break through, and he needed to retreat for a period of time!"
This is something that Yang Hao doesn't even want Yao Guang to believe, but Yao Guang doesn't care at all, this matter is indeed not something he can touch, even Yang Hao has to swear not to spread the matter.
Ordinary monks may not know what the immortal body means, but how can monks like Yang Hao and Yao Guang not know that if the body of the scorching sun is one in a million, then the immortal body is one in a million, and the difference between the two is the difference between cloud and mud.
In Yang Hao's memory, in the more than 2,000 years of the Great Sage Dynasty, there were no more than 100 special physique found in the scientific examination, and most of them were some physiques that were not of high quality, and there were only three candidates who could really be regarded as high-grade physiques.
As for how many children with special physiques are hidden in those sects and families, no one knows this, these are the top secrets and secrets of various sects and families.
There are so few monks with special physiques that ordinary monks don't know about them.
The same is true of the Great Holy Dynasty, few officials know who has a special physique, and they themselves will not publicize it everywhere and bring unnecessary disasters to themselves, unless they are exposed under some special circumstances, or when their cultivation is raised to a level that does not need to be kept secret, these secrets will not be known by others.
For example, Yuan Kui, one of the three phases, if it weren't for the fact that he accidentally exposed his pure yang physique by using the Great Sun Heart Sutra when he was fighting with his opponent, it is estimated that few people would know that he still has a special physique.
"Who is it?"
"Number: 119657."
"It's him!"
Neither of them said the name, but they knew at once who the man was.
"Have you checked the information?"
"After checking it three times, it has not been found in the above three generations, as well as among all the clansmen, and even within a hundred years, there have been no monks in the family, and the possibility of bloodline inheritance is basically ruled out."
"That means that his special physique comes from chance?"
"Yes!"
Yao Guang nodded and said, "It may be an adventure, I'm afraid even he doesn't know it himself, or maybe it's a ...... exercises." ”
"Exercises?"
Yang Hao thought for a while and said: "It's not very likely, this kind of exercise only exists in ancient legends, even if you find such an exercise, you need to have a large number of heavenly treasures and spiritual essence to wash your body, but such opportunities and luck are too against the sky!" ”
"Not bad! Although such a thing is rare, it has not happened in history, and there is such a inheritance in some ancient ruins, maybe this kid is indeed lucky. ”
"Perhaps!"
Yang Hao didn't dwell on this issue, turned his head to look for it in the light and shadow of Tiantai Mountain, and after a while, his expression froze, and his fingers quickly clicked on the light and shadow dozens of times, and a picture was brought out, and then his finger swiped on the screen, and the picture was enlarged, and a person in the picture was lying on the wide steps, just lying quietly .......
"It's ......."
Yao Guang's gaze fell on the picture from behind Yang Hao, and he also said with a strange expression: "What is this kid doing, does he use this place as his own bed?" ”
"I guess I can't crawl!"
"How many levels!"
"Three thousand one hundred and sixty levels!"
"The third level of qi refining and the third stage of body refining can climb to more than three thousand levels, and it is really a demon!"
Yang Hao's gaze became fierce and said: "It's a pity, if it weren't for the special physique, there would be no problem for this result to enter the second grade!" ”
"It's a pity!"
