Chapter 264: The First Level
Looking at the ever-growing opening, Xue Chen hesitated slightly, but the three elders on the side were full of shock. I think that when the three of them entered the Netherworld Cave to practice, it took a full month to find the entrance to the cave, and it was only after learning the Qiankun Heaven and Earth Array that they realized it. But Xue Chen in front of him only took a few hours to find it directly, which was really shocking.
"Xue Chen, this is the entrance to the Netherworld Cave, let's go in with the three of us. Elder Bai Yun stroked his white beard lightly and said with a smile on his face.
Xue Chen nodded and said, "Yes, Elder." β
ε²ε²ε²......
When the entrance to the cave was large enough for one person to enter, it finally stopped. Under the leadership of the Great Elderβ, Xue Chen finally entered the Netherworld Cave, where this cultivation took place.
Inside the Netherworld Cave, there is a faint smell of blood. In a dark nether cave, the roars of various demonic beasts were endless, and it seemed that the arrival of Xue Chen and the four of them was very unwelcome.
Syllable!
Elder Bai Yun clapped his hands, and the originally black Netherworld Cave between them suddenly took on a color, and a light blue light slowly emerged from the walls of the Netherworld Cave.
"It's Nether Stone, it can be illuminated, and there is no other use for it. With a flick of the sleeves of Elder Baiyun's robe, he continued to walk forward with Xue Chen.
Boom la la la......
Not long after walking, Xue Chen's ears moved, and he only heard the sound of rushing water beside him.
"Well, Xue Chen, this is the place where you have been training this time. Elder Bai Yun smiled faintly, pointed straight ahead and said to Xue Chen.
Xue Chen took a step forward and looked in the direction pointed by Elder Baiyun, only to see a waterfall nearly 100 zhang high appear in front of him. Directly below the waterfall is a large lake, and at the junction of the lake and the waterfall, there are four large stones that are as smooth as a mirror. Three of the stones are zigzag-shaped, enclosing a slightly smaller stone in the center.
"Dare to ask the elder, how to cultivate?" Xue Chen asked in a deep voice.
Elder Bai Yun smiled and said, "You don't need spiritual power to stand barefoot on the stone and accept the impact of the waterfall. One piece a day. If you pass this first level, then you will almost have the strength to fight against Yun Zhong and Lin Yiqing. β
Xue Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, that smooth as a mirror stone would not be able to stand up at all without spiritual power, let alone standing there to accept the impact of a hundred-zhang high waterfall. However, Xue Chen's character has always been that he will not give up lightly, so when it comes to challenges, Xue Chen will only accept them!
"Yes, Elder. β
"If that's the case, let's get started. β
As soon as the words fell, the three elders flew directly into the air and sat up condescendingly. Xue Chen, on the other hand, took off his clothes, wore only a pair of shorts, and jumped directly into the water.
The icy cold water made Xue Chen couldn't help but be surprised: this icy cold water alone was enough to eat a pot of himself without spiritual power, and it seemed that this cultivation was indeed not good.
Bang Bang Bang ......
Enduring the low temperature that was enough to freeze his feet, Xue Chen slowly walked to the side of one of the large rocks. Take a deep breath and slowly lift your feet towards the mirror-smooth stone.
Slipper!
As soon as Xue Chen's feet touched the stone, he slid down directly. The cold ice water constantly stimulated Xue Chen's body, and Xue Chen raised his feet again and again, sliding off the stones again and again.
Looking at Xue Chen's failures again and again, the three elders who were sitting in the air did not have any expression. They knew that this was a step that Xue Chen had to go through, and without this step, Xue Chen would not be able to learn the powerful techniques of the Bai Clan, and it would be impossible for him to truly become the opponent of Lin Yiqing and Yun Zhong. And the Bai clan will also be in a real slump from now on.
Syllable!
Xue Chen's feet slipped off the stone again, causing a wave to stir up.
"A broken stone, I don't believe it, I can't go up!" Xue Chen clenched his teeth, used all his brute strength, and jumped directly towards the stone.
Slipper!
Another stumble, Xue Chen's whole body fell into the water.
"Poof!"
Xue Chen lifted the cold lake water to his face, and the whole person jumped towards the stone again.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed. There were only eleven days left before the martial arts competition, but Xue Chen, who was now cultivating in the Netherworld Cave, still couldn't stand on a stone, which couldn't help but make the three elders who were full of hope a little anxious.
"This Xue Chen's perseverance is not bad, and if he goes on like this, he will succeed sooner or later. But the time for the martial arts tournament is running out, how can this be good?" The white purple elder on the far left frowned, looked at Xue Chen, who was constantly failing, and said in a low voice.
The platinum elder on the far right also sighed lightly: "This son has extraordinary perseverance and excellent talent, but I didn't expect that this experience would not even be able to pass the first level." It seems that in this martial arts competition, my Bai nationality ......"
Elder Baiyun, who was in the most central position, heard this, but he smiled faintly and said to the two of them, "Don't worry too much! Bai Zi, Bai Jin, haven't you noticed that Xue Chen's current behavior is significantly different from the first day?"
"Different?"
Hearing this, the two hurriedly looked down, only to see that Xue Chen was still repeating the process of constantly jumping and falling. As the day before yesterday, there was not the slightest progress.
"You guys, take a closer look at Xue Chen's footwork and speed in the water, and then look at the footprints on those three stones. Elder Bai Yun stroked his beard and pointed to the three stones and said to the two of them.
The two of them seemed to be a little unconvinced, but after watching Xue Chen's movements for a while, their eyes widened, and their eyes were full of shock.
"This kid actually practiced his standing and footwork in this lake. Elder Bai Zi said with a look of surprise on his face.
"Not only that, but the point of this body is extremely jerky, but it is better than the fast movement and the tricky position, which makes people unguardable. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid this kid created it himself, right?" Elder Platinum became more and more shocked the more he spoke, staring at Xue Chen with a pair of small eyes, as if he wanted to see through Xue Chen before he stopped.
Elder Bai Yun in the center also nodded and said, "This son has a great opportunity, not only can he create the ZΓ o Exercises, but also our Qiankun Heaven and Earth Array." At a young age, he won the championship of the alchemy conference and became a disciple of Yin Shi. According to Yin Shi, this son also killed many blood envoys of the Blood God Gate. In my opinion, the future of my Bai clan is all on him. β
The two elders on the side, Bai Zi and Platinum, were also shocked when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect that Elder Bai Yun, who was the Great Elder of the Bai Clan, would have such a high opinion of Xue Chen. You must know that in the entire Bai Clan, Xue Chen is still the first person who can be praised so much by Elder Baiyun.
"Three elders, Xue Chen is already familiar with the waterfall and these three stones, and now he requests to be assessed. Xue Chen, who was below the waterfall, suddenly shouted at the three people in the air with his throat in his voice.
Elder Bai Yun nodded slightly: "Begin!"
"Yes, Elder!"
Xue Chen smiled faintly, jumped lightly, and jumped directly onto the first stone. A hundred-zhang high waterfall fell from the sky and kept smashing on Xue Chen's body. If it was a few days ago, the weight of this waterfall alone would have cost Xue Chen half of his life, but now, this waterfall would not pose a threat to Xue Chen.
In this way, the three days passed in a blink of an eye. Xue Chen stood on three stones and accepted the impact of the waterfall for three days, and he was alive and well.
"Xue Chen, the first level has passed, now stand on the stone in the center and enter the second level. β
