Chapter 39: A Hundred Tribulations
Suddenly, just as Yi Tian stepped on the third bluestone step, a chill that almost reached the bone marrow surged, making Yi Tian suddenly feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"What a strong chill!" Yi Tian instantly became a spirit, this sudden extremely strong chill swept through his body almost instantly, like a hot soldering iron instantly put into ice water, this sudden feeling of ice and fire almost made Yi Tian's mind collapse.
Yi Tian suddenly bit the tip of his tongue without thinking, and suddenly a sharp pain came into his mind, making Yi Tian sober up a little, and then his eyes couldn't help but show a little shock.
This was only the third stone step, this kind of sharp pain almost made Yi Tian's mind collapse, and there were still ninety-seven bluestone steps behind, which seemed to be an impossible test for him.
Yi Tian's eyes flickered, and he was constantly thinking in his mind while enduring this sharp pain.
"It seems that this so-called 'hundred tribulations' is a hundred different calamities, and each stone step represents a calamity, the higher you go up, the stronger the power of this calamity, if you insist on resisting these hundred calamities, I am afraid that if you can't get out of the tenth order, you will collapse and become a living dead. ”
"What's even more tricky is that every time you step on a stone step, there will be a strong resistance behind you, as if to prevent the trialist from retreating, that is, once you step on the stone steps...... There's no turning back!"
"In this case, instead of resisting, it is better to adapt gradually, presumably the tolerance for these calamities will be greatly enhanced, and perhaps you can go further on this bluestone step, and even ...... Walk to the end!"
"Besides, I can also use this to sharpen my will, which is not a good thing for my future cultivation path!"
Yi Tian's thoughts kept turning, and he had made a decision in a moment.
Immediately after, Yi Tian's other foot also suddenly stepped up the third stone step, and then stood there quietly, and even slowly closed his eyes after a long time.
At this moment, in Yi Tian's feelings, the terrifying high temperature that was about to melt life had disappeared, and was replaced by a cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and that chill penetrated deeply into Yi Tian's whole body, and even a tingling sensation appeared.
In Yi Tian's perception, even when he was hit by Wu Lin's Xuanbing Thorn a few months ago, the cold of that moment was far less than one ten-thousandth of this chill!
This chill almost froze Yi Tian's whole person, under this unbearable cold, Yi Tian seemed to feel that the flow of blood in his whole body gradually became sluggish, his breathing gradually became weak, and his body was numb, under this numbness, a deep sleepiness gradually poured into his mind, as if he was about to fall asleep.
At this time, the jade pendant hanging on Yi Tian's chest instantly released a layer of soft light, enveloping Yi Tian, making the chill instantly weaken a lot, and at the same time, Yi Tian instantly woke up from that heavy sleep.
Yi Tian was in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but look at the jade pendant on his chest with some fear, if it wasn't for this jade pendant to protect himself at a critical moment, maybe his consciousness would have been wiped out by life!
This so-called "Hundred Tribulations" is very bizarre, obviously only for consciousness, but it makes people feel no different from reality, as if they are really in it, if they can't withstand this kind of calamity, then the end is that consciousness will be worn out, and become a living dead.
"This jade pendant looks ordinary, but it is very extraordinary, and two crises in a row have been resolved by it......"
Yi Tian's eyes showed a bit of strangeness, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, since this jade pendant was left by his parents, it must be a talisman for himself, there should be no problem.
Immediately, Yi Tian closed his eyes again, and with the protection of this jade pendant, Yi Tian gradually let go of his body and mind, and really began to hone his mind in this calamity.
"Hoo ......"
I don't know how long it took, Yi Tian opened his eyes, his face was slightly pale, and beads of sweat on both sides of his cheeks couldn't stop dripping down, but those dark eyes were shining more and more, like shining stars in the night sky, and I couldn't help but have a deep feeling when I looked at it from a distance.
Now that Yi Tian had stepped on the fourth stone step, after experiencing the two heavens of ice and fire, what followed was a sharp pain like a blade scraping bones.
But fortunately, Yi Tian had previous experience, and he had some adaptation to this kind of severe pain that was enough to make ordinary people crazy, and he survived under this severe pain.
"This heritage...... It's not that good. ”
Yi Tian's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his brows were furrowed, and his whole body trembled, obviously enduring great pain.
Every minute, every minute......
In this void space, the concept of time seems to be gradually diluted, and only the knowledge is constantly passing......
I don't know how long time has passed, Yi Tian is now standing on the ninth stone step, enduring a sharp pain like a pinprick in a needle, every trace of pain seems to stir the nerves, making people feel painful.
But this kind of severe pain, which is almost unbearable for ordinary people, is expressionless on Yi Tian's face, as if this pain did not happen to him.
Yi Tian's dark eyes at this time did not have the agility they should have, but there was indifference, which was indifference to pain.
Yi Tian had long been accustomed to endure the severe pain again and again, from pain to numbness, from numbness to habituation, and then continued to move forward on the stone steps, and so on.
Unconsciously, Yi Tian's mind continued to become tough under this almost perverted torture, and more importantly, even Yi Tian himself didn't realize that his spiritual power was slowly condensed in this continuous grinding, becoming more and more concentrated, and there was a faint tendency to transform.
Spiritual power is composed of human will, ethereal and mysterious, legend has it that some powerful people can construct a world with spiritual power, so that people can not distinguish between illusion and reality.
For martial artists, the extreme sublimation of spiritual power and the transformation into the power of divine thought is the foundation for stepping into the realm of bone quenching, and it is the power of divine thought that stops endless martial artists in the realm of refining the body and cuts off the path of cultivation.
At this time, Yi Tian found the cultivation method of spiritual power by mistake, if his spiritual power can really be transformed into the power of divine thought, then the Quenching Bone Realm will undoubtedly open the door to Yi Tian.
"The tenth stone staircase!"
Yi Tian raised his head and looked at the higher stone steps, his eyes flashing with a persistent light.
"It seems that my method is correct, so that I can not only hone my willpower, but also greatly increase the chance of passing the test, and through this period of tempering, I also faintly feel that my willpower has increased a lot!" Yi Tian said darkly.
Immediately no longer hesitated, Yi Tian stepped out and stood on the tenth stone step!
"Sizzle......"
Suddenly, a sharp pain that was much stronger than before suddenly came, making Yi Tian gasp.
Although Yi Tian had experienced the tempering of the previous eight tribulations, he still broke out in a cold sweat in the face of the severe pain that was almost twice as strong as the previous one.
"The owner of this ruin...... It's really good at playing with people!" Yi Tian gritted his teeth and said.
But Yi Tian had no choice but to endure it silently.
Time kept passing, and Yi Tian walked through more and more stone steps, until now there were thirty-two stone steps behind him!
Yi Tian's body and mind were numb at this time, and these sharp pains that were enough to make ordinary people's hearts collapse seemed to be just ordinary things for Yi Tian.
The 40th stone steps, the 59th stone steps, the 70th stone steps......
In the lonely space, a young man is walking alone on the stone steps.
**The torture is secondary, but the loneliness of the soul is the most tormenting, but here, Yi Tian can only endure it silently.
Yi Tian is constantly moving forward, and in this seemingly endless tribulation, his will and spirit are constantly improving, as if he is accumulating quantity, just waiting for a qualitative breakthrough one day!
Time flies.
I don't know how long it took, until Yi Tian walked to the ninetieth stone step!
At this moment, Yi Tian stood on the ninetieth stone step, feeling a pain that seemed to be torn all over his body, which made people collapse, but Yi Tian's face was not the slightest wave.
When Yi Tian first stepped on the ninetieth stone step, the sudden pain that was almost several times that of the previous one almost made Yi Tian unbearable, but fortunately, it was the jade pendant that emitted that soft light in time to resist this crisis for him again.
And since then, after a long period of adaptation, Yi Tian is now accustomed to this kind of torture, and he can already be at ease on the ninetieth stone steps.
However, Yi Tian did not choose to step forward at this time, but seemed to be pondering something.
"A hundred stone steps, a hundred calamities, now I have endured most of them, if there is no accident, I should be able to come to an end. ”
"But...... Now I can feel that after such a long period of tempering, my spiritual power has a feeling of slowly increasing, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and there seems to be a faint trend of transformation!"
Yi Tian's eyes kept flickering, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but then his brows furrowed.
"But until recently, this spiritual power has not grown in the slightest, presumably it has encountered a bottleneck, if I can break through this bottleneck, then my spiritual power may be able to reach a new realm, that is only the strongest in the Quenching Bone Realm can have...... The power of divine thought!"
Yi Tian's eyes suddenly showed a bit of a strange light.
"Since I have encountered a bottleneck, then I will borrow external force to break through, if I can break through, then this will also be of great benefit to my future practice, even if I can't get this inheritance, then I have no regrets! Not to mention that with this jade pendant, this stone step should not be able to help me!"
Immediately, a ruthless color flashed in Yi Tian's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and stepped forward violently.
Embarked on the ...... Ninety-first stone steps!
