Chapter 40: Blessing
The white heaven and earth, the white fog, in front of the cloud ladder that leads to the sky, a gray man re-arrives. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Chen climbed up as before, unconsciously, he was step by step, constantly encountering the illusionary demon beasts, constantly biting and devouring, strengthening himself, with a strong body and strength, ferocious, tyrannical, just missing something, he stepped on the peak of the ladder step by step, more and more insensitive, fighting and devouring demon beasts became instinctive, at a certain level he tore off a long trunk similar to a giant elephant, biting the other party in one bite, his eyes showed a fierce light. At a certain level, he slammed his fist into the head of the transformed tiger, and then devoured it, with a comfortable expression.
It seems that he has the same as before, he doesn't know who he is, he lacks his soul! The laws of this world are the same as in the past. When Xia Chen stepped on the nine hundred steps, an ancient and unfamiliar will also appeared, "Cang Wu Dao...... Return to my cloud road. The demagogic power of this will was still there, and Xia Chen once again had a rebellious consciousness, and his mind shook more and more with his footsteps, until he came to the nine hundred and ninety-eighth steps, and saw the distorted handwriting carved before his last death: Xia Chen, don't devour it.
He remembered everything, his heart trembled, he didn't take another step forward, he laughed miserably, this time he saw the cloud white stone at this level, the power of destruction was radiated again, and Xia Chen, who had grown to the peak.
"I see, I'm not going to sink!"
Xia Chen had already retreated frantically the moment he saw the handwriting, and when he almost exited this level, he desperately carved a new handwriting: this is an illusion.
The body dissipated, the handwriting was finally engraved on the previous steps, he woke up one step earlier than before, and next time he would advance one step earlier, then this is hope! Time is like flowing water, Xia Chen goes back and forth between life and death again and again, condensing, climbing the ladder, dissipating, restarting, reincarnation, only the traces on the steps are left to witness. Climbing to the end again and again, finding the handwriting of the last time, he suddenly woke up, left the handwriting for the next time again and again, and engraved the words of the reminder on the previous ladder, he believed that he would see it next time, and this belief was not only not worn out but strengthened with the increase of the number of times.
Xia Chen's state of mind is also changing every time he wakes up, he gradually changes from waking up when he sees the handwriting to waking up instantly once he reaches the steps with the engraved words, first seeing the handwriting for a breath, and then evolving into the fact that he suddenly wakes up when he is about to step onto the engraved staircase, Xia Chen feels this, and he also understands that the sooner he wakes up, the sooner the cloud chaos white stone will see, and the sooner the power of earth destruction will come.
The stronger his faith, the weaker the restraint of heaven and earth will be on him, the less effective the bewitchment of the ancient will will be, and the greater his hope.
"This is a demon fantasy realm, I don't want to sink..."
"Xia Chen, the sooner you wake up, the sooner the clouds will be..."
"Don't devour the beast, don't be afraid..."
"Don't devour it, that will be assimilated..."
......
"Restrain yourself, the memory is not goodbye to the ladder..."
Most of the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps have been engraved with lines of handwriting, getting closer and forward, and Xia Chen woke up earlier and earlier.
Another new life, Xia Chen came to the front of the ladder, after hundreds of washes, although he started all over again, he did not have consciousness, but every time he was new, he would be calmer than before, this time he climbed the ladder extremely calmly, level by step. Until the ninth order, he encountered the threatening beast, he accidentally did not devour it this time, but just tore the other party apart, but he stubbornly held back and did not devour it, this is the first time. He didn't know why he wanted to restrain his desires, but there seemed to be a call in the dark, telling him not to devour each other, not to be assimilated, this call seemed to have appeared a few times before, but this time he really felt it clearly.
Then he forcibly controlled the desire to devour each step, constantly defeating and tearing the other party apart. Without devouring, his own strength will increase after he tears up the beast, and his body will not become larger, but it will be condensed, so that although the real growth is not as fast as the devouring, and the battle process is more difficult, but it avoids himself from becoming an assimilated monster, and it turns out that such a growth law exists.
By defeating the beast again and again, Xia Chen's body became more condensed, his sanity recovered faster than before, remembering the death process again and again, until he came to the steps engraved with handwriting, he was completely awake, and carved the handwriting on the previous order before perishing. The first successful one stood at the end without relying on devouring, and his hope was visible!
"I know, you can't trap me!"
Next time, next time...... Xia Chen finally didn't devour the beast anymore, every time he was a freshman climbed the ladder, relying on perseverance and the growth of battle, his mood was too peaceful. The destructive power of the Cloud Chaos White Stone seemed to weaken again and again as Xia Chen woke up in advance, or Xia Chen thought that it was weakening. I don't know how many times it has passed, Xia Chen stood in front of the steps and woke up, he didn't reach the step of carving, he stood on the thirtieth step, he remembered that the last time the step of engraving was at the fifty steps, and he recovered his memory many steps in advance.
Destruction again, new life, this time, the gray man Xia Chen came to the ladder again, and for the first time, he did not choose to climb up, but stood in place, his body twisted. The eyes suddenly widened, looking up, looking at the sky, looking down, looking at the ground, looking straight ahead, opening the mouth and inhaling and exhaling, the whole face became distinct, and the eyes revealed the essence.
"I ...... It's Xia Chen!" he woke up and regained his memory before climbing the ladder.
When he said this, the original body condensed by the gray qi suddenly changed, and the dark green soul body from the bottom to the top replaced the gray qi, and Xia Chen suddenly returned to the state of the primordial god! It was the same state as when he first came in, this was the substance, not the illusion.
"Sinking, sober, hundreds of encounters, if I don't have a strong will, maybe I'll stay here forever, and finally become a part of those fierce beasts. Xia Chen still didn't move, he stared at the ladder, this time he seemed to be able to see something he couldn't see before, it was a blurred face, imprinted on the steps of the ladder, those faces used to be the same as him, they were all people who entered here, but they didn't go out in the end, they were assimilated here.
"Now that I think about it, as a cultivator, it is different from this world, and if you want to enlighten the spirit, you have to go through this calamity, and if you survive, you will succeed in enlightening the spirit, this ancient will is actually the demon intent of heaven and earth, as for the words I heard, what does it mean?"
Xia Chen figured everything out, after he woke up, the will here seemed to inform him of everything in a special way, he was through the ancient enlightenment tribulation, in fact, if Xia Chen hadn't been tempered for two hundred years in his previous life and his life was indeed strong-willed, I'm afraid this level would have completely fallen, it was really thrilling.
"The priority is to take the last step and get out of here. ”
Xia Chen no longer thought about anything else, and according to the will transmitted by heaven and earth, he stepped up the ladder step by step. This is the first time he has stepped on the steps and he has counted countless times, but this feeling is unprecedented, the faces under his feet seem to be roaring and swimming, but Xia Chen is calm, and the ancient well is unwavering. He had already understood these essences, whether it was the fierce beast before him, or the power of cloud destruction, it was all illusory, and once he was afraid, it would come true, and it would be difficult to escape.
"It's not that this ladder can't be climbed, but that after awakening the memory, you can use the essence of the spirit to break through the vanity. ”
Xia Chen's mind was firm, step by step, each level will also generate all kinds of monstrous beasts, but Xia Chen saw through the essence, and there was no fear in his heart, although it seemed that those demon beasts were more than stronger than him, he was still calm, and stepped over from the mass of gray gas, those fierce beasts that opened their bloody mouths, danced their claws, and emitted killing intent As soon as they touched him, they directly penetrated the past without the slightest substantial damage, which should be the final mental training.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, the end of the ladder has arrived again, Xia Chen looked at the cloudy white stone in the sky, shining with brilliance to wrap him, Xia Chen's feet left the steps autonomously, he stretched out his hand, felt touched the surface of the white stone, a white gas directly into his eyebrows, and then looked back, the cloud ladder was gone, the sky and the earth gradually turned black, and his consciousness was in a trance......
In the next moment, Xia Chen opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar space, his spiritual sense swept away that his physical body had recovered, and the Bi Fang Beast standing in front of him was the Bi Fang Beast that he hadn't seen for a long time!
"Coming back?" Xia Chen calmed down for a while.
"Huh? It's a meridian. ”
Xia Chen looked at his body, and unconsciously there was a thin meridian, this vein is white, different from the distribution of other meridians, it is a white line horizontally, located on the chest, this is the sign of the spirit master, the demon spirit vein.
"Wisp, I've got it. Xia Chen realized that successfully leaving the Cloud Void Realm meant that the spirit was successful.
"Thou ...... I have inherited my demonic will, and the spirit has become enlightened!"
Bi Fang suddenly let out a cold sentence, and what made Xia Chen vigilant was that Bi Fang Beast had regained its breath, and the red haze behind it was revealed, only a lot smaller. An inexplicable feeling rose in Xia Chen's heart, he had gone through hundreds of lives and deaths in the Cloud Chaos Space, but it seemed that it didn't take much time to return to reality.
In the stone room, Yang Kun, who was staring at the vortex, suddenly looked shocked, and the point of light that belonged to Xia Chen suddenly returned, in fact, from the red point of light of Xia Chen to the reappearance, it was nothing more than a cup of tea.
"White, what happened to this kid, Qiling failed?" What shocked Yang Kun was that Xia Chen's point of light recovered and was white in an instant, but his point of light was already red before, and Yang Kun was really going crazy this time.
"No matter, old man, ......" Yang Kun's eyes were sharp, and his body was about to enter the vortex as soon as he moved, this time he said that he would see what happened to Xia Chen, if the true enlightenment spirit failed, he would definitely slap it to death with his anger.
However, just as his body touched the vortex, the white light turned red again.
This time, Yang Kun's face was really ...... Incomparably complex, indescribable joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
"This kid...... I've really encountered a ghost alive this time, and it's okay, no matter how you enlighten your spirit, the next step is that the old man will give you blood! ”
After Xia Chen's experience of the Cloud Chaos Enlightenment, his eyesight enhanced, and his sense of touch and intuition for demon spirits was greatly deepened, and he clearly felt the decaying meaning coming from Bi Fang's body at this moment.
"Come, receive my blessings. Bi Fangbeast said a word again, and then all the momentum was withdrawn, which was regarded as recognizing Xia Chen's enlightenment, and then according to the practice of enlightenment, the ancestral spirit would bless the descendants who succeeded in enlightening the spirit.
The so-called blessing is basically nothing more than sending out the inheritance of the ancestors' demonic intent so that the younger generations can feel it, so that they can control their own demon spirit as quickly as possible after going out, or more profoundly, give a certain spiritual object as a reward, etc.
However, Xia Chen's enlightenment this time did not rely on Bi Fang at all, but entered the mysterious space of heaven and earth, and what he felt was the demonic intent of heaven and earth, and it had nothing to do with Bi Fang, but perhaps because of the effect of the jade, he directly grafted Bi Fang's will onto Xia Chen's spiritual face, making him think that Xia Chen was enlightening the spirit by his power, and this method can only be done by the jade. But this third step of receiving blessings was meaningless to Xia Chen, who did not rely on the ancestral spirit to complete the second step, not to mention that since he had seen Bi Fang's misery and red haze since he had reunited with the original and new sea of knowledge, he had concluded that this beast was evil, and he couldn't go any further.
"Inherited by me!"
Xia Chen took a few steps back, but Bi Fang's will erupted and enveloped him, this time the will was completely different from the last time, this was with a strong yin aura, as if it was shrouded in red haze.
"Damn, it's an ancestral spirit that has been dead for many years, why does it come to me so many times to act autonomously, like, like...... Living creatures. ”
Xia Chen desperately resisted the aura of yin damage, his pupils constricted when he thought of the word living thing, and then he looked at the other party in disbelief, he felt and checked carefully. found that Bi Fang's abdomen was red haze had been strung out, squirming evilly, and Bi Fang faintly revealed a trace of struggle, if it was the will to die, how could he struggle?
Outside the stone room, Yang Kun was kneeling in the air at the moment, his eyes were red, his mouth was chattering, his hands kept pinching, changing, and he pointed out the red dots of the vortex Xia Chen again and again, each time he would click three times, his momentum was very evil, and the red glow in his eyes was exactly the same as the red haze when he was carefully distinguished.
As Yang Kun pointed his fingers, his aura would deepen, and his body would visibly shrink to the bone, which was terrifying.
The red haze inside completely enveloped Xia Chen, making him breathless, and his consciousness was difficult to calm down, a red line was quietly tied to his wrist, and he couldn't break free, Xia Chen roared, his spiritual sense swept the silk thread, and seemed to have discovered the transformation in it, his eyes were cold, and he had killing intent.
"Yang Family Ancestor!"
