Chapter 183: Absolute Strokes
There is no mercy in the book of impermanence, and there are no heartless people in the painting.
That day, Ling Jie was engulfed in blood-red flames, and the flames burned not only her body, but also her memory and soul, which dissipated at the end of the world little by little, and his soul finally sublimated to an extreme height at that moment.
"Congratulations, you've finally broken this level!" the voice of the Ancient Divine Tree came, and he said with a sigh, "As the saying goes, everything is impermanent, and the situations in this trial are all triggered randomly, but the general rules are the same, as long as you die, the trial will fail." According to the setting, the moment Shu Jinhui's name appears in the book of impermanence, this trial should have been doomed. If you choose to commit suicide, the game is over, and if you kill her, you will spend the rest of your life in self-blame and anxiety, and you will still fail the trial when you die in a hundred years, which can be regarded as an unsolvable death situation. ”
"I never imagined that in the rules I set, you would be able to ascend to the Dao, which I have never encountered in the usual challengers. Speaking of which, your obsession is really terrible, otherwise there would be no such variable as him. In the end, he used his own life as a ladder to pave a path for you to enter the Tao!"
After listening to the words of the Ancient Divine Tree, Ling Jie's breathing became disordered, and she was afraid for a while, if it wasn't for that boy's trouble, I'm afraid she would fail no matter how she chose, right? Thinking of this, the palm of her hand was gently placed on the position of her heart, and then the throbbing in her heart became more and more obvious.
That was a kind of longing, maybe it would be able to wake up that boy soon, right? The Soul Refining Array had broken the third, and at this moment, the crazy desire in her heart was to complete the fourth trial immediately, longing that the boy would be able to open his eyes and embrace himself in the next second.
This is the last level of the Soul Refining Array. At the same time, the Ancient Divine Tree told her that the scene of this level was constructed through the Tongtian Road in Wei Jiu's memory, but the difficulty may be far greater than that of the Tongtian Road.
As the saying goes, the road to heaven leads to the sky, standing at the starting point of the trial of the perfect stroke, what Ling Jie saw was also a long road to heaven. These stairs spread endlessly upward, and there was no end in sight. But the amazing thing is that the road is completely floating in the air, except for the narrow staircase, and all sides are hollow abyss.
In this level, although Xiu Wei was sealed, his memory was completely preserved. Ling Jie shuddered, even if she was the aunt of the Ling family, she was just a girl after all, how could she not be afraid of such a bottomless height?
"Welcome to the world of Masterpiece and congratulations, you've been the first challenger to do so for thousands of years. Remember, in this world, your body is just like an ordinary person, and you can't use any cultivation. It's actually very easy to complete this trial, as long as you can climb to the top. Although it is man-made, you have to remember that when you get it, you are doomed to lose, and if you want to save him, you will eventually lose something! Okay, then challenge with your obsession and love, and the game begins!"
Ling Jie, who has retained all her memories, is now the time when she is the wisest, and these four trials themselves are more like a game, a game in which the Ancient Divine Tree forcibly changes the trials with rules. Although it seemed that this last trial was the easiest, Ling Jie was not careless at all, and the name "Absolute Stroke" alone could make her have to be cautious.
Step, forward, no matter how difficult it is, she is not afraid, at least there is a boy waiting for him in front of him.
Walking upwards step by step, although these stairs are very long, Ling Jie's speed is not slow, it has only been a short time, and she has already walked a long distance. Of course, she was also relieved in her heart, although it was very tiring to go on like this, there was nothing to be afraid of, even if it was not difficult.
In fact, Ling Jie's thoughts are still a little simpler, after the trials of the first three pit fathers, she should know very well that this test cannot be so simple.
Sure enough, after walking about a hundred steps, Ling Jie suddenly felt that her body was imprisoned in place, and she could no longer move forward at all. At this time, there was a sudden fluctuation in the air, and it was suddenly torn apart, and a figure suddenly appeared in place and fell lightly in front of Ling Jie.
That figure was Wei Jiu's already stiff body, but there was no sign of life such as breathing. At this time, a deep voice came from the sky, "Carry him on your back, and you can only finish the rest of the road with him on your back." Remember, if his body touches the ground again, the trial will fail!"
"You...."There was a lot of anger in her heart, Ling Jie almost scolded, but she also understood that the rules here were completely formulated by the Ancient Divine Tree, and no matter how he scolded, it was useless.
With a height of 1.6 meters and a weight of less than 100 catties, although Ling Jie is not thin, she is still petite and cute. Especially in front of Wei Jiu, a man who is nearly one meter eight, her physique is not enough to look at at all, and she also understands the difficulty of walking the back road with Wei Jiu on her back, not to mention that at a glance, the endless stairs are panicked.
After trying a few times, Ling Jie finally carried Wei Jiu on her back with difficulty, like an octopus, lying on her back. In order to better fix it, her coat had already been torn and tattered, and strips of cloth finally tied the two of them tightly.
Finally, the confinement on her body dissipated, and Ling Jie stepped forward again, her brows furrowed. Compared to just now, this time it was a lot more difficult, and what worried her even more was that she didn't know what kind of rules she would encounter in the future.
Another hundred paces away, and the body was once again imprisoned in place. This petite body really contains endless power at this moment, and with Wei Jiu's relatively huge body on its back, it is still speeding up. It's just that this challenge is much more cruel than expected, how can she be allowed to complete it so easily?
"Very well, but your body is tough, then next, you have to bow down every step, remember every step!"
This time the requirements are even more excessive, the forward is already difficult and dangerous, if she has to bow down at every step, can she really complete it? But this time Ling Jie is a lot calmer, at least emotionally less angry, even if angry what's the use? This is the rule, she can't change it at all, she can only try hard.
The footsteps were finally able to move, and Ling Jie took a step forward again. After standing firmly, the whole person knelt down.
The kneeling ceremony of carrying Wei Jiu on his back was much more difficult than usual. Not to mention that there is one more person, neither gravity nor the sense of oppression can be compared, just because Wei Jiu's body can't touch the ground, there will be a lot of inconvenience when kneeling, and every time I have to be distracted to be careful about this.
Finally, Ling Jie's body walked forward step by step, farther and farther, and closer and closer to the end, this time she was finally not imprisoned at the position of a hundred steps.
But at this time, she is just an ordinary little girl, and it is really difficult to bear such pressure and suffering. The only thing that sustained her was the nearer and closer to the finish line, step by step, although slowly, but without the slightest stop, and it didn't take long to cover two-thirds of the distance.
It's just that when she knelt down, Ling Jie's feet were trembling, and her posture was slightly stiff. If you look closely, blood has oozed from her knees, her dark blue jeans have long been worn out, and you can even see deep abrasions on her skin.
"Stop, you can't stop hurting like this!" came a deep voice.
"Stop, if you go any further, your legs will be gone!" sighed in a deep voice.
“...........”
For the dissuasion of the Ancient Divine Tree, Ling Jie turned a deaf ear to it completely. At this moment, she has only one belief, that is, to go down and save Wei Jiu, as for whether she is injured or disabled, is it really that important?
I don't know when that narrow staircase turned out to be like a bloody road. The place where Ling Jie stepped on had already been stained red with blood, and the position where she knelt on her knees was even more bewitching with blood. At first, she endured the pain, but gradually she didn't have to, because her legs and even her whole body were already numb, and she couldn't feel the pain at all, and the rest was just mechanical movements.
Her consciousness was blurring, and it wasn't just her body that was numb! her brain was already in a state of lack of oxygen, and she didn't know when she was going to collapse. But she knew that at least not yet, the end was just around the corner, how could she give up? Not to mention that in order to save Wei Jiu, she was no longer allowed to fail, and there was no way out.
By pinching his face and biting his tongue again and again, only his own nails and teeth can give himself a sharp pain, and only with that extreme pain can he remind himself to wake up. She told herself in her heart that if she held on for a while, she would hold on for a while, as long as she reached the end, she didn't care even if she was paralyzed and disabled, as long as she could save Wei Jiu.
Maybe it's really the emperor who lives up to her wishes, her persistence and sincerity have already broken through the shackles of the rules, and finally, she has climbed to the top of these ladders. All around is a starry sky, and the stars shine brightly on the earth. Beyond the stairs was a pitch-black environment, and the road had long since turned into an abyss, and this was the end.
"As you said, as long as you climb here, you will win, then please save him!" Almost using the last of her strength, Ling Jie prayed in a weak voice.
But at this moment, tiredness suddenly came to my heart, and my body was weak. If it seems to be a return to the light just now, then this time, it is on the verge of death, and there is no longer the slightest strength in the body or the soul.
Suddenly, Ling Jie's legs were unsteady and shook. Then in her pupils that suddenly contracted and then expanded, she saw Wei Jiu's body fall straight from her back, and her weak body could no longer save anything, she could only watch the body fall into the abyss without stopping.
