"Huh??"

Taoist temple in the open space.

Seeing that after Chengsheng approached the ancient well, he was also standing in place with a calm face like the previous iron bull, Yue Hongyi couldn't help but sigh lightly.

No way....

That's too high-profile.

After hearing the soft voice of Elder Yue Hongyi, Chengsheng realized something, so he pretended to be confused, and at the same time silently calculated the time in his heart....

After about eighty breaths had passed, he seemed to be uncontrollable, and he made a gesture to poke his head into the well.

Seeing the act of survival, Yue Hongyi hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted his back, shouting, "Wake up!" ”

Cheng Sheng turned around and made a look of surprise.

"Eighty-one breaths." Yue Hongyi said: "It's okay, you passed!" ”

Cheng Huo Chong Elder Yue Hongyi clasped his fists and walked down silently.

"Fellow Daoist, you should feel it, right?" Seeing that Chengli passed the test, Le Zhengxun hurriedly stepped forward.

He lowered his voice and said, "That ancient well seems to be able to amplify the side effects of the 'power of pain'. ”

"Side effects?" Cheng Sheng's face was puzzled.

Tie Niu and Meng Qingyao on the side also showed a puzzled face.

"I also heard from the Deep Diving Monk...."

"According to them, the 'power of suffering' absorbed by monks during their practice will pollute the practitioner's spirit. ”

"This contamination is a side effect of the 'power of pain.'"

"It's just that the realm of worshipping gods and monks in the birth period is too low, the 'power of pain' in the body is too little, and the purity of the essence is not high, so the pollution is not obvious."

"But when the monk wants to break through to the deep diving period, as the 'power of pain' in the body increases, and the purity of the essence becomes higher and higher, the pollution caused to the spirit becomes more and more obvious."

"I see what you mean." After listening to Le Zhengxunyi's explanation, Chengsheng took the opportunity to say: "If the 'power of pain' can pollute people's spirits, then when the monk absorbs the 'power of pain', he also needs to have a physique that can resist pollution. ”

"People who don't have this kind of physique are very likely to go crazy after breaking through to the deep diving period because of the pollution of the 'power of pain'."

"This part of the people is the so-called monks who have not broken through to the deep diving stage talent."

"And the ancient well has the effect of amplifying the pollution of the 'power of pain', which can just be used to screen out this part of the monks who 'have no deep diving talent'."

"Those who are screened out, that is, those who are eliminated in the first round."

"As for the last remnants, those monks who can resist the pollution of the 'power of pain' are talents worthy of the imperial court's great efforts to cultivate."

"Correct solution!" Seeing that Cheng Huo drew inferences from each other, Le Zhengxun praised it: "Cheng Dao friends really want to go with me." ”

He continued, "So, whether a monk can break through to the deep dive stage depends mainly on whether the person can withstand the pollution. ”

While several people were talking, Zhong Ran also followed closely and passed the test.

After he came to Chenghuo and the others, he saw Le Zhengxun and said in surprise: "I just roughly counted, and the people who can pass the Gujing test probably only account for less than a quarter of the total number. ”

"But even with such a low probability, a few of us were able to pass it all, which can really only be said to be too lucky."

In fact, it is not all because of good luck that Chengsheng and others can pass it all.

Among several people.

Zhong Ran, Le Zheng Xunyi, and Le Zheng Xunyi's little sister Meng Qingyao were able to pass, probably just because of good luck.

But the survival and the iron bull were able to pass, mainly thanks to the 'flesh and blood power' in the body.

The power of flesh and the power of pain are forces of the same nature.

Thereinto.

The 'power of suffering' is closely related to practitioners today.

And the 'power of flesh and blood' has a certain connection with the Gu Immortals 10,000 years ago.

For example, the blood tree in the blood forest.

Another example, the jet-black armor in the ruins of the Gu Immortals of the Red Water Lake....

According to Wusheng, when a monk has both the power of flesh and blood and the power of pain, there are generally two situations:

The first is that the two forces cancel each other out.... It's like Yuan Xiujie who drank the sap of the blood tree before.

The second is that the two forces are evenly matched.... It's like an iron ox that drank the sap of a blood tree, and a life that swallowed a blood fruit.

It is precisely because of the existence of the second situation that the surviving party can suppress the pollution of the 'power of pain' with the help of the pollution of the 'power of flesh and blood' in the body.

The two play a role similar to 'fighting poison with poison'.

In this way, the problem of contamination by the 'power of suffering' can be perfectly solved, so that the practitioner will no longer have any worries when practicing.

This kind of physique is too rebellious.

Perhaps, this is also the fundamental reason why Wusheng went to great lengths to seize the body of the Iron Bull....

Taoist temple.

After more than two hours of testing, a total of 50 of the more than 200 monks, including Cheng Sheng's group, successfully passed.

In this way, it is exactly a quarter of the pass rate.

Among the crowd, some of the monks who failed to pass the first round of tests directly left the mountain behind Ruyun City in discouragement.

The rest of them took Elder Yue Hongyi's flying boat and flew back to the Great Dao Sect residence in Ruyun City.

The second round of the big competition will be held in the martial arts arena of the Dadao Sect....

…

At the same time.

Such as Cloud City, in the backyard of 'Li Ji Wide Noodles'.

At this moment, Wusheng is sitting cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard.... Beside him, there were monks and mortals who had been tortured beyond recognition, as well as a small number of minor Buddhist monks.

Although these people are not dead for the time being, they all have only one breath left, and the sight is shocking.

Among them, mortals and monks alike showed a look of life worse than death.

The little Buddhist monks, on the other hand, were all smiling, and there was a hint of pain in that smile....

Filthy ground.

Suddenly, Gosei opened his eyes.

He smiled at Wuxin on the side: "My disciple has already flown back from the mountain behind Ruyun City.... If nothing else, the first round of testing should be over. ”

"Good!" Wuxin responded: "Then, should we do it now?" ”

"Right now!"

Looking at the corpses piled up throughout the courtyard, Wusheng showed a look of guilt.

But soon, that guilt was replaced by the frenzy in his eyes.

He thought for a moment and said, "With the 'power of pain' that these people can provide, you and I will probably be able to sustain it for about a day. ”

"So you and I have to find those two skins in one day, and then take them."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and whispered an obscure scripture....

Under the influence of the scriptures, a black silk thread appeared out of thin air on the chests of the corpses in the courtyard.

These black lines are connected to the chests of the two monks, Wusheng and Wuxin.

As the black silk thread entered the body, the momentum of the two monks began to skyrocket.

Their cultivation was promoted from the original late stage of the Blood Pill to the Great Perfection of the late stage of the Blood Pill, and finally broke through the bottleneck and entered the realm of one mystery after another, which could not be described in words.

This state is known as the 'deep diving period'.
