The clouds cleared, and everyone finally saw the true face of the endless staircase in their imagination. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, dozens of meters above the ground, hundreds of steps, a small cave appeared halfway up the mountain, and at the top of the cave, the word "end" was written, but the intestines of those who gave up first, and even climbed not far from the clouds, regretted that the intestines of the few contestants were blue!

Ahh

Ahh

......

A roar full of depression and regret sounded at the foot of the mountain, and a huge sense of grievance filled the heart of every person who gave up!

"Silence!" a shout interrupted everyone's roar, a young Taoist priest gently fell from the sky, like the world's immortal demeanor, if there is a female crown monk here to participate in the competition, their eyes will inevitably become shining, especially the vicissitudes between the eyebrows under the young man's face will hook out the soul of these little girls!

However, all the people in the West who participated in the competition were male cultivators, and there was no female crown! I have to say that it is a pity!

"Your competition is over! You are all eliminated! Now, you can stay in Zhongnan Mountain as a spectator of the 'Immortal Yuan Competition' that began in early September, or go back to the mountain alone, in short, you can choose for yourself, those who return to the mountain can leave by themselves, and those who stay as spectators can go to Shangqingguan in Chaoge City for help!" The young Taoist priest landed on the platform of the stone steps and said, and finally looked at the people under his feet and continued: "Okay, that's it, let's go back!"

After speaking, the young Taoist turned around and walked into the cave.

Behind the cave, there is a small cave, and in the cave, there are hundreds of Taoist priests gathered together, sitting quietly cross-legged, all of them are exercising to recover the mana and spirit that have been consumed in the past few days......

At the edge of the cave, Han Nuo was quietly practicing!

The ultimate goal of the foundation building period is to cultivate the seeds of cultivation and the foundation of cultivation, so the ultimate goal of the refining period is to sacrifice a little spiritual light in the seeds of cultivation, and a little spiritual light is also the basic foundation of cultivating the Tao!

And if you want to refine a little spiritual light, you need the cultivation of the power of real fire and water, and you also need the warmth of pure mana!

And Han Nuo's task now is to continuously accumulate the power of his true fire and true water, using the lotus Dao base as the furnace, the mana as the firewood, and the Yin God as the copper and iron, refining a little spiritual light!

Therefore, every day, Han Nuo's mana will continue to be consumed, and Han Nuo also needs to constantly absorb the source qi of heaven and earth and use his own mental power to refine the mana of the way of the divine soul - the power of the divine soul!

After the daily cultivation, Han Nuo couldn't help but think of the hard work along the way and the sudden happiness of entering the clouds!

After three days of hurrying, Han Nuo finally came to the stone staircase, perhaps because of his effective control in the past few days, when Han Nuo came to the stone steps, the pressure had not yet reached his limit, so Han Nuo did not hesitate to start climbing up!

When Han Nuo climbed the first step, he found that the pressure suddenly increased a lot, and his own weight began to bend slightly!

Stiffening his waist, Han Nuo began to climb up step by step.

Looking at the steep stone steps deep into the clouds and mist, as well as the destination on the map, after Han Nuo calculated in his heart, he felt that the end point was on the top of the mountain, but looking at the steep mountain steps and the mountain rock that he didn't know how high, Han Nuo had an urge to give up more than once in his heart!

However, how could this road compare to the difficulty of the path of cultivation, thinking about his master's excited gaze after seeing Huang Jing's younger brother Huang Chen, Han Nuo suddenly strengthened his gaze, and began to endure the fatigue from his body and continue to lie on his stomach.

When Han Nuo saw the first monk who sat down and rested on the mountain steps, and the first monk who gave up on the mountain steps, Han Nuo once again had the urge to give up, after all, I am not the first to give up, so many people give up, and I am not one of them!

However, at this time, Han Nuo remembered his parents, uncle and two cousins who had been waiting hard for him in Sword Forge Castle, Han Nuo's eyes decided again, he was different from others, they belonged to one person to feed the whole family and not be hungry, even if they gave up, it didn't matter, even if they were disappointed in the end, they were alone, but they carried the hope of the entire Sword Forge Castle, thinking about the pain of losing their parents last time, Han Nuo once again mentioned courage in his heart! I'm different, how can I go with the public!

I, carrying the hope of everyone in Sword Forgery Castle, don't want to experience that kind of despair again, so I won't give up! Han Nuo looked at the stone steps that seemed to be far away, and once again made up his mind in his heart, and worked hard to move up!

When Han Nuo was only a few steps away from the clouds, the physical and mental exhaustion finally turned into bursts of pinprick-like pain, surging towards Han Nuo in waves, which made Han Nuo once again realize the pain of his original outburst of fifteen, accompanied by the previous experience, Han Nuo completely ignored the physical pain, and walked up again.

However, on the periphery of the mist, he finally saw clearly the stairs that continued to spread upward, and when he looked at the figure of cultivating on the stairs, Han Nuo once again had memories of himself, after all, even the big bull rested on it, with his body, could he really climb to the top of the mountain?

Feeling the pain of pins and needles caused by the heavy pressure on the body, the sound of giving up kept ringing in my ears!

Give up! Give up! You can't climb that mountain anyway, what's the use of trying! Give up! Give up......

"Give up?" Han Nuo stood in the clouds and muttered to himself, "Give up?"

After a long silence, Han Nuo kept asking his heart, do you give up? That reason for giving up kept appearing in Han Nuo's mind:

You are a monk of the path of the divine soul, this is not your specialty in the first place, give up!

Your body is getting more and more tired, and you are also enduring more and more pain, give up!

No matter how hard you try, nothing will come of it, so why not give up?

......

"Give up?" Han Nuo asked his heart again, watching the thoughts of the road grow and die, looking at the deep gray emotions that continue to diffuse, and asking in his heart: "Give up, give up?"

......

"But, why give up?" Han Nuo suddenly raised his head, looking at the figure sitting on the mountain road, but a light in his heart crossed the gray and deep emotions like dark clouds, like the morning sun piercing the darkness before sunrise.

"I, why did I give up?" Han Nuo said loudly in his heart: "It's not my own strengths?But how can everything go well in the world? It's not my own strengths, but how many people can really give full play to their strengths? With his own personality that has become a little silent and wooden after losing his parents, he has to say polite words, and he has to say flattering words that he sounds disgusting, and he has to say things that are against his will that he doesn't believe...... When did he do what he was good at? What did he pursue in his last life? Speaking of which, Han Nuo didn't know, what qualifications did he have to recognize what he was good at at that time? Being able to become a salesman was already the biggest opportunity that his orphanage grandmother could fight for himself, so what qualifications did he have to pick and choose?"

"Physical fatigue and pain? But I can still climb, I can still stand, I can still walk, then there is no reason to give up, life is endless, the battle is endless, since I am still standing, then I have to keep climbing! I can't climb to the top of the mountain? I haven't tried, how do I know that I can't climb up? Rational calculation? If human life is only rational calculation like a computer, if human life can be calculated, then there will not be so many accidents! Zhuge Liang may have already helped Liu Bei unify China and restore the Liu family's Han dynasty!" Han Nuo thought, stirring his mind, cheering up his spirit, and finally, said loudly: "The most important thing is that I don't want to give up, so why should I give up?"

Thinking about it, Han Nuo took his first, second, and third steps forward with difficulty...... Then, Han Nuo stared blankly at the greatly changed environment in front of him, the mountain steps along the mountain all the way up disappeared, but in three steps, Han Nuo reached the end of the mountain steps, arrived at a small mountainside platform, after the platform, a small cave appeared in Han Nuo's sight, the top of the cave was written with the word 'end', and on the left side of the cave was engraved with the four big characters of 'where the heart is', and on the right side of the cave was engraved 'Where the Tao exists!' Four big characters, three big characters into the stone, resolute and firm, with a clear and profound taste, that is, do not give up three words.

......

"Where the heart desires, the Tao exists!" Han Nuo read the eight words softly, feeling the meaning of those eight sons, and reminiscing about them for a long time again! After every day of cultivation, he would reminisce about these eight words, experience the firmness in them, and experience the perseverance in them......

"Xiao Nuo, are you reminiscing about your words again?" Suddenly, the big bull who had finished his cultivation next to him looked at Han Nuo, who was almost shaking his head, and said loudly.

"Wake up! It's good to experience more!" Han Nuo said with a sigh as he looked at the big bull at the end of his cultivation.

"You feel it slowly, I'd better practice more!" Da Niu didn't care about Han Nuo, and after he got up and moved his body, he continued to cultivate!

Looking at the big cow, a trace of worry flashed in Han Nuo's eyes! Han Nuo still remembered that he was almost noon, and after he entered the cave, there were only a dozen people in the cave! Most of them were monks who had been sitting down and cultivating at least for decades like Yunhu and Yunxi! These monks had a way in their hearts, had a tough personality, and would never give up easily, so they were the most persistent, and they were constantly speeding up!

So they were also the first to arrive in the cave! And Da Niu, if he hadn't watched Senior Brother Yunhu step into the clouds and mist without hesitation, maybe he would have given up a long time ago! It can be said that after climbing the ladder, he has been following in the footsteps of his own senior brother, and the two have come to this end point in a rare way of mutual supervision!

However, seeing that there were more and more people around him, Hano didn't find Ji San and his junior brother Chen Deng coming over, and he didn't find Chen Xiaoqi, but Yunxi came up alone first.

Han Nuo found a young man, the young man who rushed very fiercely at the beginning, rested for a while in the middle, and then set off again, full of exhaustion, with a trace of disbelief, a trace of ecstasy after success, walked into the cave, and then turned into that rare calm, and sat down in the cave!
