Chapter 42: The Heart Is Like a Rock
Lin Xiuyuan looked at his dissipating body, recalled the previous voice, was slightly silent, and then said slowly:
"Martial cultivation, you can't go back, even if the way of heaven collapses and the way of death disappears, I won't take a step back, let alone let me give up myself, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, like a lonely soul wandering around the wild ghost."
As his words fell, his body dissipated even faster, and Lin Xiuyuan could even clearly feel that his vitality was constantly disappearing, and he couldn't even tell if it was reality or illusion.
The voice echoed in his ears again, giving him another chance to choose, but he remained noncommittal about it, and did not change his decision.
And this time, the lower half of his body was almost completely gone, and even his soul was gone.
The voice appeared again, with a hint of coercion and temptation, Lin Xiuyuan didn't answer at all this time, and didn't wait for death on the spot, but raised his right arm that could still be moved, and made a fist fight.
Then with the last of his strength, a punch slammed out, and the fist soared into the sky, heading straight for the sky that was about to shatter!
After this punch, his whole body completely dissipated!
Heaven and earth have collapsed, and nothing exists!
By the time Lin Xiuyuan woke up, he had already appeared in a gloomy and dark place, and the yin qi was so strong that it was more than a hundred times stronger than the ancient battlefield at that time.
He looked around, and thought with some hesitation that this seemed to be the real ghost domain mentioned in the Mountains and Seas essay!
After death, the soul returns to the underground, and there is another place underground, called the Ghost Domain, the Kyushu Yin Soul, all attributed here, the merit creator, reincarnated, the evil full of the full, suppressing hell.
He looked at himself, and the so-called body was gone, and only a wisp of ghost was left floating here.
At this moment, the voice continued to appear, still indifferent.
"The way of heaven collapses, if you don't build the avenue, you can be reborn, and those who don't want to suppress hell will suffer from ten thousand punishments."
Lin Xiuyuan said lightly:
"My generation of martial arts cultivators, even if he dies, he will not retreat."
As soon as his words fell, chains appeared out of thin air around him, instantly wrapping around his whole body and trapping him to death.
There were strange runes flickering on the chains, and Lin Xiuyuan felt that the bound soul body began to burn hot.
The indescribable pain spread throughout his body, and he couldn't help but snort.
He tried to raise his arm, but unfortunately he couldn't feel the strength of his arm, and the whole person seemed to be fixed in place by a strange force, and he could only let the chains roam around him.
And this was just the beginning, and then one after another ice picks pierced into his soul body, making him feel an unbearable cold while being unbearably hot, and he was about to freeze and crack his soul body in an instant.
Lin Xiuyuan's face was slightly ugly, and at this moment, the voice continued to appear:
"Give up the avenue, you can be reborn!"
Lin Xiuyuan raised his head with difficulty, and said in a deep voice to the dark void:
"Never!"
The chains tightened instantly, and the ice picks became more numerous. Moreover, a strange long whip appeared in the void in the distance, whistling and whipping above his soul.
Under the whip, a crack suddenly appeared in the soul body, and it was even weakened a little!
But Lin Xiuyuan felt the infinite pain of being pierced through his heart by ten thousand swords.
His face became a little more solemn, but his eyes were still firm!
"Give up, why let yourself suffer like this? Isn't it joy to be born again? ”
A gentle voice sounded in Lin Xiuyuan's ears, as if it came from a distant sky, and it seemed to be whispering in front of his ears.
Lin Xiuyuan didn't pay attention to it, but the torture on the soul body also became even more crazy!
"Don't give up yet, the avenue is gone, why stick to it!"
A man's scolding voice was also heard slowly.
"Don't struggle, it's useless, even if the soul body dissipates. I can't continue the avenue, so it's better to make it easier. ”
An old voice appeared.
Voices came from all directions in the void, with voices of reprimand and persuasion, like magic sounds, constantly impacting Lin Xiuyuan's mind.
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes were firm, but he was impatient, and finally simply closed his eyes and let those voices surround his ears. He was as immobile as a mountain, even if every sound appeared, it would increase the torture of the soul.
Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Xiuyuan didn't know how much time had passed, only felt as if hundreds of years had passed.
He's still holding on.
Gradually, he forgot the time, forgot the past, and even forgot everything, but the heart of the martial arts still did not change!
And at this moment, the martial arts state of mind in his heart became more and more stable and stronger!
The heart is like a rock, indestructible!
Finally, a faint crisp sound appeared, and Lin Xiuyuan's eyes reopened, but there was a condensed light shining on the ghost domain!
This hell, which is always in darkness, is reflected with a glimmer of light!
All the sounds faded like a tide, and the shackles on his body disappeared with them.
The ghost realm in front of him began to gradually dissolve, and he returned to a place of nothingness.
"Not afraid of life and death, not afraid of hardships, the heart is like a rock, the heart is strong, you can move forward!"
Immediately, under the flickering light, Lin Xiuyuan completely woke up.
He was still standing in front of the stele, and everything before was just a dream.
But at this moment, his eyes were more resolute, and his martial arts state of mind had become more condensed, turning into a true martial arts heart!
In the future, any magic powers that disturb his mind will not be able to shake his state of mind in the slightest!
Is this the benefit of the fourth layer?
The corners of Lin Xiuyuan's mouth raised, he didn't expect such a benefit, and he was very satisfied!
He looked at the steps of the fifth floor, and silently thought in his heart, what kind of test will this fifth layer be, and what are the benefits?
Even the fourth layer can strengthen the heart of martial arts, and the benefits of the fifth layer naturally make him look forward to it even more!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan no longer hesitated and slowly walked up the steps of the fifth floor.
......
Outside, the gambling contract has ended, but everyone in the field has not dispersed, and there are still crowds of people here, their eyes still staring at the red dot in the cloud tower.
Half an hour has passed since Lin Xiuyuan stepped into the fourth layer, and from the moment he stepped on the fourth layer, although everyone recognized his talent, and was able to break into the fourth layer as the identity of the first realm, which was enough to be proud of many of his peers, but most people still thought that he would end there, after all, it was not easy to reach the fourth layer, and it was almost wishful thinking to want to go to the fourth layer, after all, even if it was a monk who had reached the third realm, there were very few who could ascend to the fifth layer.
You must know that being able to step into the fifth layer means that this person can pass through the so-called path of state of mind, have strong beliefs, and are expected to win the avenue. All of them are extremely talented and strong.
But what puzzled everyone was that Lin Xiuyuan, who thought he was going to come out of the fourth layer early, never came out, but attracted more attention.
Could it be that he was really trying to break through the path of state of mind and want to step into the fifth layer?
There are many people who think that Lin Xiuyuan may be crazy, you know, even the third realm has not been reached, which proves that the soul has not been refined, and there is not enough power of the soul to support it, it is not enough to break through the path of the state of mind, one is not good, and it will even be injured by its backlash, once the soul is damaged, the path of cultivation is bound to be difficult, and if you want to repair it, I don't know how long it will take.
The most difficult thing to treat the injuries of monks in the world is the injury of the divine soul, because the heavenly and earthly treasures that can heal this thing are too rare, and the strong people with this ability are all big men after passing the five realms, and it is even more difficult to find.
Therefore, those who have not reached the Three Realms will not be able to break through the path of the Mood and reach the Fifth Layer!
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan's actions shocked everyone, some people admired it, and some people ridiculed it, secretly scolding the other party for not being able to do anything, if there was really an accident, it would be a loss to his wife and a soldier.
There are not a few people who think like this, and most of them are the wave of people who lost the bet.
Of course, there are still a small number of people who are looking forward to Lin Xiuyuan creating a miracle again with a hint of hope.
This part of the people is the only Qi Chun who is optimistic about Lin Xiuyuan, but after learning about the situation of the fourth layer from Forget Worry before, even Qi Chun, who is full of confidence in Lin Xiuyuan, can't help but be a little apprehensive, after all, the path of the state of mind tests the state of mind is also the power of the soul, and it has nothing to do with strength, no matter how strong Lin Xiuyuan's strength is, his cultivation is also a hurdle that is difficult to cross.
Except for one person, that is Xu Yuanyou, who followed Lin Xiuyuan to the ancient battlefield and saw the other party condense the Silver Soul Realm with his own eyes.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of the condensation and strength of the power of the soul, although Lin Xiuyuan has never reached the third realm, he is definitely stronger than many people, and the so-called state of mind will not have any effect on the tempering of the soul here.
You must know that there are as many cultivators as there are in heaven and earth, but there are very few powerhouses who can condense the Silver Soul Realm in the entire Three Realms.
Therefore, he still looked like he didn't care, he wasn't worried about the other party's safety at all, and he didn't even think that Lin Xiuyuan would stop there.
Xu Yuanyou looked at everyone's expressions, and couldn't help but smile in his heart:
If they saw Lin Xiuyuan stepping on the fifth layer, they were afraid that their jaws would fall off, and that was really interesting at that time.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuanyou couldn't help but take a sip of wine, then touched his mouth and said in a low voice:
"Lin boy, let them have a good look at what the real pride of the sky is!"
At this moment, the light on the stone monument suddenly rose, and the entire cloud tower also shook slightly for a moment, a phenomenon that had never appeared before.
Then everyone saw that Lin Xiuyuan's red dot disappeared on the fourth layer, and before they could react, above the fifth layer, there was a dazzling golden dot of light, which was extremely dazzling!
"It's... Red light turns into gold, and the proud son is on the list? ”
An exclamation came from the crowd and shocked everyone!
At this moment, a line of small characters slowly emerged on the stone tablet!
The pride of the sky is revealed, and the demon list is open!
