Chapter Twenty-Four: A Thousand Sails Have Passed, Back to Basics
Descend the stairs to the seventh floor.
Xu Zhenyun adjusted his mood to meet the challenge of the last level.
The moment his left foot stepped on the seventh floor, Xu Zhenyun looked up in surprise!
He had been ready for the arrival of the "Illusion", but the change did not come as promised.
Here, it is still in the form of the space inside the tower.
Just as Xu Zhenyun slowly walked to the center of the tower, a vast and broad voice sounded for no reason: "Congratulations, you have passed the test." You are the first person ever to clear the Liuhe Exquisite Tower. β
Xu Zhenyun was slightly stunned, his mood was unexpectedly calm, and he didn't set off a ripple.
A few seconds later, Xu Zhenyun suddenly found that the "bottom plate" and "wall" in the tower were faintly rippling, and he was in a trance.
Carefully identifying, the "space inside the seventh-story tower" where he is located is actually shaking slightly, as if refracted through the blister, slightly distorted, as if there is a possibility of collapse in the next second.
"This isn't the real seventh layer!"
Xu Zhenyun immediately reacted:
"The moment I stepped on the seventh layer, just like the previous five level assessments, I had already entered a strange illusion; It's just that this illusion is special because it looks exactly like the space inside the real seventh-story tower! β
"Wait......"
"This sentence 'Congratulations, you have passed' is actually the content of the seventh layer of the test?!"
Between the lightning and flint, Xu Zhenyun recalled the assessment content of the previous six levels, and the content that should be assessed in this level, and quickly completed the analysis (brain supplement), and at the same time felt a chill in his heart.
Is it a failure?
The script should look like this -
This level is the third question: the mind of the matter is to uphold the ruthless way, let the immeasurable wind and clouds rise, I look at the world with cold eyes; Or is there a way of affection, when you cry, you cry, when you laugh, you laugh, the heart is in full bloom and not exhausted, I laugh at myself to all beings?
However, the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels are a package, and the content of the assessment is not "persistence", but to see whether you have the transcendent realm of "not being attacked after turning your back on the Dao heart".
His Dao heart is "ruthless". Therefore, my immediate feedback should be "affectionate". Rejoice, reciprocate with the most touching smile, heartbeat, emotion, like a flower blooming.
Of course, this is not enough, you must also withstand the backlash of "violating the Dao heart" in order to be truly successful.
It stands to reason that this condition is particularly simple to achieve.
With Xu Zhenyun's character, if he performed in his true colors, he should have been happy!
But......
First, the test of the first six levels consumes a lot of time and lasts too long;
Second, Xu Zhenyun's comprehension when he passed the fifth level sublimated his realm, and he did not claim to be the chosen one because he could clear the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda, but due to "suitability".
In this way, his state of mind is stable and fulfilling.
The last reason is that Xu Zhenyun, as a traverser, even if he experienced the desperate situation of the "Liuhe Linglong Tower", he did not subconsciously have the same awe as the trialists of this world, as if he was not facing a desperate situation of life and death, but just a game.
All kinds of factors add up, when Xu Zhenyun heard the words "Congratulations, you have passed", he didn't seem to realize that he had completed an unprecedented feat, and he was calm as if he had cleared a simple game copy.
If I lose like this, I'm going to die......
Xu Zhenyun smiled bitterly.
After about a few minutes, the scene of the "seventh layer" in front of me finally could not be maintained, and completely dissipated like a bubble. But then, the place was peeled back like a "painting", and everything in front of me was restored to its original appearance.
Just when Xu Zhenyun was waiting very painfully, the voice repeated:
"Congratulations, you've passed."
This time, it's peaceful and real.
"Huh? What's going on? β
Xu Zhenyun calmed down and watched suspiciously.
This place is different from the "seventh layer" illusion just now, and there is an extra stone tablet. At the same time, there was a misty and uncertain cluster of broken light in the corner.
Seeing the stele, Xu Zhenyun was sure in his heart.
The steles on the first and last floors appear in the real space of the tower; From the second to the sixth floor, the stele appears in a fantasy world. This result seems inexplicably reasonable!
Why?
Feeling like this, Xu Zhenyun can't say it.
Walk up to the stele and see the text:
"There is one participant, and there are zero passers. Thousands of sails have passed, back to basics. β
Unlike the second to sixth floors, there are no specific names such as "True Fantasy Qingyang Wall", "Great Beidou Array", "Nine Tongtianqu", "Tongtian River", and "Muren Lane".
Thousands of sails have passed, back to basics?
Xu Zhenyun doesn't seem to understand.
Turning around, Xu Zhenyun came to the light cluster in the southwest corner of the tower, and his heart was gloomy.
My guess was right, the only lucky person who passed the fifth and sixth levels ended up falling in the last level.
Once he got closer, Xu Zhenyun stroked the top of it, his divine sense fused, and he received the message.
Unlike all the previous "light clusters", this deceased did not die suddenly, but was similar to "sitting" here, reviewing his life experience before dying, so Xu Zhenyun could extract more information.
Yu Xuanyang, born 5,000 years ago, is the predecessor of the Great Liang Immortal Dynasty - Jiangli Immortal Dynasty.
Yu Xuanyang was born with special qualifications, amazing talents, and sharp scheming. When he was a child, he chose the most mainstream "martial arts" lineage, and because his strength improved too quickly, he couldn't even keep up with the progress of the twice-a-year promotion assessment. When he participated in the Jiangli Immortal Dynasty's "Competitive Dao Competition", he was still nominally only a seven-stage cultivator; But in one fell swoop, he won the top of the martial arts.
Next, in the assessment of the "Star Ruins Secret Realm", I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, he was selected by the Liuhe Linglong Tower.
But he calmly responded to the crisis and broke through to the seventh layer in one fell swoop!
It's almost a miracle.
If you want to do it, you must not only have high qualifications and amazing talents, but also have special reliance.
The special thing about Yu Xuanyang is that he is "one body and two souls", in addition to the ontological Yu Xuanyang, in fact, there is a secondary soul parasitic in his divine consciousness, which can be said to be his "younger brother", Yu Xuanyang gave him a name - Yu Huayang.
And it is very coincidental that Yu Xuanyang and his secondary soul Yu Huayang have completely opposite mental natures.
In the fourth level, Yu Xuanyang successfully comprehended the secret of the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda. So through the method of "double souls upside down", he skillfully bypassed the counterattack that violated the Dao heart, and successfully broke through the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels.
Until he came to the seventh level.
As Xu Zhenyun subconsciously thought just now, Yu Xuanyang thought that the seventh level was the same routine as the fifth and sixth levels.
He himself is a "ruthless" heart; At the same time as he heard the prompt sound of "Congratulations, you have passed the level", his body was immediately dominated by the secondary soul Feather Yang.
Yuhuayang is a sentient nature.
In the retrospective memory, it can be seen that at that moment, "Yu Xuanyang" raised his arms and shouted, and smiled very exaggeratedly.
But......
After a few seconds, his state of mind suddenly withered, and he fell silent, ushering in irreversible decay and withering. And the speed of this "withering" is relatively slow, like the scene of the sun gradually setting.
At the last moment, the confusion and the strong unwillingness to succeed and fail, after 5,000 years, still made Xu Zhenyun feel the same way, and inexplicably surged with a burst of sadness.
This level, unlike the fifth and sixth levels, is precisely the need to maintain one's original Dao heart!
Those who choose the "ruthless" Dao heart, the moment they withstand the temptation and impact of the final success, the trialist must maintain his original Dao heartβthe Dao is ruthless, and the loneliness is like snow, so that he can truly pass the test.
Xu Zhenyun seemed to understand something.
Whether you are one with two souls, or if you are really strong enough to change impermanently, whether it is good or bad, it is a matter of course to pass the second to sixth levels.
However, after going through the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth levels, the trialist must be sublimated and baptized, and finally return to his original Dao heart, the so-called "a thousand sails have passed, and the truth has returned."
Look at the mountains are mountains, and see the water is water;
Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water;
Look at the mountain is still a mountain, look at the water is still water.
If you are obsessed with problem solving and routines, and arbitrarily think that the two, three, and four levels are a series, and the five, six, and seven levels are a series, then you will inevitably hate it!
This level will inevitably screen out trialists like "Yu Xuanyang" who have special abilities but are not qualified for mood training.
And what about yourself?
The instant reaction when I heard that sentence was considered to be luck and strength?
Suddenly, Xu Zhenyun looked towards the position at the top of the stairs.
This is the last floor, and there is no passage to the next level.
Now that you've passed all the tests, should you go back the way you came?
It was not until this moment that the joy of completing the miracle that no one had completed and clearing the "Liuhe Linglong Tower" suddenly burst out, making Xu Zhenyun almost have the urge to turn into an eagle and want to fly high.
I confirmed it several times in my mind before I was convinced that all this was true......
"Okay."
"Good."
"Very good."
The sound is faint, echoing in the tower.
Xu Zhenyun turned his head suddenly!
A woman appeared in the center of the seventh floor.
This woman has red lips, a high nose bridge, a clear contour, thin eyebrows as fresh as green feathers, and a suitable bone depth.
Her temperament was originally slightly strong, but it was reconciled by her delicate snow-white skin and clear and charming eyes, achieving a perfect combination of rigidity and softness.
The perfection of the appearance and the detachment of the bearing have reached the point of incredible.
And the women's outfits are very bizarre -
She was dressed in a two-foot-four-inch green gauze robe, and wore a bright soft gold nine-leaf lotus crown on her head; A two-finger-wide blue ribbon is tied around his forehead.
The right arm is bent and buckled with a purple handle to whisk the dust; The top of the whisk is inlaid with an ink-colored orb.
The "female crown" dress in the original world.
Xu Zhenyun saw this female crown, as if she was hit by five thunders, she immediately froze in place, her face became ugly, and after a few minutes, she said word by word: "You, yes, who?" β
