Chapter Seventy-Five: What is Cultivation?

After the white light supported them to a certain height, it suddenly flew quickly with them not far away, and the speed would definitely make everyone tremble, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a blink of an eye.

All the assessors in the square felt a sense of soaring clouds in their hearts, but the most shocking thing was Yang Lao's lightweight appearance.

Could it be that his cultivation is so strong?

Due to the high speed, the scenery on both sides was rapidly retreating, so that they could not see where they were flying or what kind of environment they were flying around.

Fortunately, there was also a huge protective shield covered in white light, so they couldn't feel the strong wind at all, otherwise many people might have fallen from it.

There was a thoughtful light in the eyes of a few people, and Chen Heng was also one of them.

Perhaps before entering the half-step innate state, he didn't have such eyesight.

Chen Heng faintly sensed that Yang Lao might have borrowed a powerful flying weapon, coupled with the abundant aura on Zhenwu Mountain, he was able to do this.

Of course, Yang Lao's strong cultivation is also indispensable.

It didn't take long for the foot to step on the ground, and then the white light converged, as if nothing had happened.

The feeling of flying at extreme speed just now only lasted for a dozen breaths, and by the time they regained their perception of their surroundings, the scenery around them had completely changed.

It is also the peak, but the scene is not as big as before, the surrounding is lush, the scenery is quiet, and the mountain breeze blows, which is refreshing.

However, compared with the change of the environment, what everyone cares more about is the cultivation of Yang Lao.

No matter what they have seen, the people who come here are all cultivators who have never stepped into the Innate Secret Realm, and some of them even have no cultivation at all.

After seeing the scene just now, what remained in their hearts was only infinite shock and yearning for the strong.

Because they all know that as long as they can be admitted to the True Martial Sword Sect, after working hard, they are likely to reach the realm of Yang Lao in the future.

Yang Lao naturally knew what they were thinking, because his purpose was also here, but he didn't explain anything, but said: "Zhenwu Mountain is divided into five peaks: Dongling, Xiyou, Beijun, Nanxiu, and Zhongwu. ”

"As the name suggests, the Jun in the North Peak is steep and beautiful, you should be able to experience it from the time you go up the mountain, and the other peaks are different, each with its own merits, and when you really enter the sect, you will experience it carefully. ”

"Now what the old man wants to say is that the assessment is carried out by the five peaks, which means that you must pass the five peaks and five assessments. As the head of Beijun Peak, in addition to presiding over the first assessment, the old man will also take you to the assessment location to participate in different assessments. ”

Hearing that there were going to be five different assessments, everyone couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts, and it could be seen from this that it was indeed not so simple to enter the True Martial Sword Sect.

Five assessments will definitely be carried out from all aspects, so as to eliminate the situation where one person is extremely outstanding in a certain assessment and has been leading since then, unless that person is an all-round genius.

Yang Lao didn't know where to take out a white stone slab, there was no carving process, the quaint atmosphere came from above, and there was an ancient and incomprehensible feeling.

It was densely engraved with many words, and everyone looked at it and was surprised to find that it was actually an assessment ranking list, and the one in the first place was Chen Heng.

Chen Heng quickly found the rankings of all the people he followed.

second place, Jiang Hanmei. third place, Qi Minghui and Jiang Shuhao stood side by side.

There are many names that Chen Heng doesn't know, and in the tenth place, it turned out to be Cao De's name, which made Chen Heng extremely surprised.

That guy doesn't seem to be strong, he still has such a talent, and thinking of his good background, Chen Heng is completely sure that Cao De must not be devoted to cultivation on weekdays, and his strength will be so much weaker than him.

In addition, Meng Anbao ranked fifteenth, as for Xiaobai and others who came with him, the ranking was not so ideal, except for Zhang Ruohan, who was ranked ninety-seven with his top-grade talent, everyone else was in the hundredth, and Xiaobai even ranked more than three hundred.

It can be seen from here that among the civilians, the poor qualifications still account for a large part, you know, Xiaobai's qualifications are only in the middle grade, although it is considered to be in the top of the middle grade, but there is only one middle grade left behind.

The others also found their names on the slate, and at this time, Yang Lao finally spoke.

I saw him smile slightly and said: "Everyone has already seen that this is the ranking in the first assessment, which is ranked according to the individual's talent, and then each ranking will come out after the assessment." This slate, the old man will carry with him, placed in the most conspicuous place of the assessment venue, as long as the ranking changes slightly, you can see it immediately. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about more, now the old man will take you to the second assessment. ”

After speaking, Yang Lao took the lead in walking towards the depths of the peak, and in the depths of the clouds and mist, there were several large halls, and in the center was the largest main hall, the East Spirit Hall, and Yang Lao was walking straight towards it.

However, they did not enter the main hall, but stood in the square in front of the hall, looking at the magnificent and majestic hall in front of them, everyone couldn't help but feel like ants.

What will this assessment be?

As soon as everyone stood still, a huge beam of light burst out from the temple door, enveloping all the assessors in an instant.

The beam of light shrouded their bodies, and there was a warm feeling, but unknown things always made people resist, just when they wanted to urge the spiritual power to resist, they heard Yang Lao Dao in their ears:

"Everyone stood still, and the second assessment began. ”

The hearts of the assessors were cold, and only then did they disperse their spiritual power and return to themselves.

In Chen Heng's feelings, the light was very soft, but when it first appeared, it made his spirit trance.

Before he could come back to his senses, his whole body seemed to have passed through some kind of barrier, and it seemed to be moving rapidly.

But his body obviously didn't move, and it didn't feel like when Yang Lao flew with them before, he could be sure that he was still in place, but he just had that feeling of crossing in his heart.

The light gradually dissipated, and Chen Heng was surprised to find that all the assessors had disappeared, and there was a vast white space in front of him, with no end in sight, and the whole space was left alone, and there was nothing else.

At this moment, a figure slowly appeared in front of him, it was an old man in the twilight, half-lying on a chair, with a face like a wind candle, as if he would pass away at any time.

At this time, the old man was looking at him sleepily.

On the surface, this person does not have any strong momentum, but looks like a grandfather next door who has come to the end of his life.

But no matter what, the other party's age was there, Chen Heng still bowed and saluted: "Chen Heng has seen the old-timers. ”

The old man looked at Chen Heng so fixedly, he didn't know what he was thinking, he obviously looked like an old man who was dying, but in Chen Heng's feelings, he was ordinary and extraordinary.

As for why I feel that way, I can't say specifically.

After a long while, when Chen Heng thought that the old man was about to fall asleep, he suddenly spoke.

His voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for many years, and his voice like a broken gong was really flattering, but Chen Heng still stood there respectfully.

"Tell the old decay, what is cultivation?"

Chen Heng was slightly stunned, of course he knew that this old man's problem would definitely not be as simple as the operation of exercises or spiritual power, and after a little groaning, he had a clue.

"Cultivating together, it is divided into the four realms of the Heavenly Body Realm, the Innate Secret Realm, the Transcendent Law Realm, and the Mixed Yuan Dao Realm. Among them, the acquired body realm is to attract the aura of heaven and earth, stimulate the potential of the human body, and bring the physical body's abilities to the limit. When people can break through their own shackles, the spiritual power in their bodies resonates with the aura of heaven and earth, and it is an innate secret realm to control the aura of heaven and earth. As for the transcendent Dharma realm, it should be to first reach the realm of the unity of heaven and man, understand the way of heaven, and transcend the mundane, and the rest is not very clear. ”

Maybe Chen Heng's answer is not completely correct, but it is the perception he has gained through his own cultivation over the years, and it is precisely because he comes from his own perception that he understands it more thoroughly than others.

The old man was obviously surprised by Chen Heng's answer, his cloudy eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he nodded approvingly and said:

"It's good for you to have this feeling. Cultivation is the way against the heavens, and the law of nature is perceived with the power of mortals. First of all, you need to be pure and have few desires, and only the Tao in your heart. You have a sentence before that is right, mortal individuals are a drop in the vast sea, and they need to constantly break through the shackles, the induction of heaven and man, and even the nature of heaven, so that heaven and man are one, transcend the mundane, and stand on top of the mixed element!"

Chen Heng was still recalling the old man's words in his heart, but when he saw him wave his big hand, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated, and the same sense of crossing as before reappeared.

Soon, he found that he was back in front of the main hall, and the people around him were still the same, and there was still the figure of the old man.

Was it just an illusion?

But the last sentence still echoed in his ears, it was so clear, it made Chen Heng feel a trace of indescribable feeling in his heart, although he tried hard to grasp it, he was never able to grasp that feeling.

"Presumably your assessment has ended, this second assessment is to test your cognition of the cultivation world, as for the content of the assessment, the old man is not clear, and the answer is only for you to understand. Look here now!"

Chen Heng was thinking about the old man's last words in his heart, when Yang Lao's voice sounded in his ears again, and then he realized that it was not an illusion just now, but something that had really happened.

The old man looked like he was in his last years, and his cultivation was impossible to detect, but with his words, he was extremely thorough in his understanding of the realm.

Hearing Yang Lao's voice, everyone seemed to wake up from their trance, and when they looked up, they found that the stone slab in front of Yang Lao had undergone earth-shaking changes.
