Chapter 3: Mysterious Beast Soul (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
"Ahh
The short seven words resounded in Shi Lingming's ears, like thunder, and at this moment he was also stunned by this choice!
"It seems that you don't want to be a soul master that much, don't you?"
Sure enough, the old scholar has a way to make himself a soul master, and listening to what he said, he should have a spiritual beast soul, and looking at his dignified appearance and his strength, this beast soul is still involved in very important things!
"Would you like to or not?" Seeing Shi Lingming's pensive appearance, the old scholar frowned and asked again!
There was a flash of appreciation in his heart, becoming a soul master, even the most low-level, was enough to make him live a much better life than others in this life, and he didn't blindly agree under such huge benefits, he was still thinking about gains and losses, this state of mind was terrifying!
"Old scholar, with your status and status still telling me this question, I can fully know the meaning of this beast soul, and taking this ability may mean that I will take on a huge responsibility, and I may have other ways to become a soul master in the future, but ......"
"I always feel that if I take a step back here, I will never come back......" Raising his head, the two looked at each other fiercely, Shi Lingming said slowly!
Two pairs of eyes, a pair of deep ancient vicissitudes seem to have experienced thousands of years of precipitation can see through everything, a pair full of agility and firmness but can not see through, it is hard to imagine that these eyes appear on a six-year-old child!
"The road you have arranged for me may be full of ups and downs in the future, and I will not be able to bear to give up when I go through some difficulties, but I know that I have given up here, even if there are some other ways to become a soul master in the future, I am almost certain that the height will never reach the path you arranged for me......"
"So, do you want to live a much better life than ordinary people quietly as a low-level condensation master, spend your life in this small town for the rest of your life, or endure the many unknown tribulations, wear gold armor and silver robes, purple and gold crowns, and win the top of the sky overlooking the world, and create a legendary life for yourself!"
"I'd rather choose the latter!" Silver Fang gritted Shi Lingming and said his answer!
The former, that kind of life may be what ordinary people crave, but for himself, it is enough to have lived once in his previous life, since God has given him a second life, the legend is created by himself!
"Well, this heart is indeed enough to try that opportunity!" the old pedant nodded, shocked in his heart, this kid is very human, even if he fails, his future achievements will not be ordinary!
"Sure enough, it's just a chance to try, listen to what you mean, there are many people who have tried and failed, and everything is like it didn't happen......"
"That's right, I've traveled to the mainland for decades, and I've given no less than a hundred children with innate mental power level 10 a chance to try, after all, the innate level 10 of mental power is just one in ten thousand, and the number of people in the continent has failed without exception, some have failed after trying, and some have retreated after I told about the various levels of difficulty......"
"I know that maybe some of those who have retreated may succeed, but I won't give them a chance to try, and those who give up before they have encountered difficulties are just harming the mainland, and they are not worthy of this power......"
"I'd rather I've worked hard for decades than use this power on metrics, but you're the only exception I didn't talk to you about the difficulties, and now it seems that I don't need it, so I'm finally asking you about your choice!"
The old pedant, the vicissitudes of life's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring at Shi Lingming's smart eyes, his eyes went straight to the bottom of his heart, as if everything about Shi Lingming could not be hidden under this gaze, and it was gone!
"Excuse me, do I still have the right to refuse now? Since you have said so clearly, if I refuse again, I am afraid that even I will look down on myself, as long as there is hope, even as long as there is a trace of hope, I will try desperately, I just want to ask what is the consequence of failure in the end?"
"Regardless of success or failure, I will erase the memories of everyone in this village related to me, leave here and pursue what I want to pursue, without the fetters, I should probably succeed, right? After all, the chances of success in that thing are even slimmer than yours, even if it costs with my life!"
Looking up, the old scholar looked into the distance as if he had pierced the void, where there was also a gaze opposite him, what was he looking for?
"Originally, I would only stay in each village for a year, and I would leave without my own goal after the awakening of that year, I couldn't have been wasting time in one place, but I stayed here for three years because of you, and you gave me a big shock when you first met, and it was hard to believe that you persevered for three years in that boring life that even I couldn't stand, so I made this bet on you......"
"I'm glad you haven't let me down so far, and I hope the end result will be the same......"
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the old pedant, Shi Lingming's eyes also flashed with a longing and seeking eye, the two of them stared at each other, he looked into the distance and he looked at him!
"Now that you've made up your mind, let's come on, let me see the final result, I hope I'm right this time, after all, this is the first time I've gambled on one person for three years!"
Turning around slightly, the old scholar turned his back to Shi Lingming's direction, and his right hand swiped down fiercely in front of him, and immediately a two-meter-high pitch-black crack appeared in the ancient library, and a faint light emitted it, as if there was a starry sky imprisoned in it, vicissitudes and profound!
"Now that you've decided, let's come!" After leaving a faint sentence, the old pedant stepped into the crack and disappeared!
Standing in the study room, in front of him was the two-meter-high pitch-black crack, Shi Lingming's palm clenched and secreted Han to wet his palm, this is his last chance, success or failure in one fell swoop!
Choice, may not succeed only a glimmer of chance, do not choose, doomed to failure!
Cultivation is to swim against the current, and only by experiencing the loneliness of the ninth world can you become a strong person, and then you will be able to resist the wind from all directions and sail the boat!
The height of the fountain will never exceed its source, and a person's achievements will never be higher than his belief, he also wants to see what the beast soul that even the old pedant attaches so much importance to is, so he took a deep breath and made up his mind to raise his foot and step in!
As soon as the light dimmed, Shi Lingming was shocked by the scene in front of him, and looked up to see that he was already in another space, up and down, left and right, all of which were boundless starry sky, ancient and vicissitudes!
Billions of stars kept flickering repeatedly, and there was no sense of vacancy under their feet, but there was nothing empty in the vast space, except for the old scholar and Shi Lingming who were standing together!
"Old pedant, this?" Shi Lingming frowned and said incomprehensibly to the old pedant, although this space was full of shock, there was nothing, where was the beast soul?
"Don't worry, follow me!" replied, the old scholar took a step forward slowly, Shi Lingming saw this and hurriedly followed the deliberate half a step behind to better see the surrounding situation!
Looking at this boundless starry sky, being able to open up such a huge space on his own, how strong was the old pedant's strength? Is it really as he guessed that he was the same as the Holy Rank Condensation Lord of the Imperial Capital?
Walking forward slowly, Shi Lingming also noticed the abnormality, and saw more clearly behind the old scholar, and the faint white light began to emanate from the old scholar's body, from weak to strong!
Followed by a faint cold, two rounds of halos at the wrists also emerged, each with nine round beads, the appearance is not the same, the beads on the left wrist are different colors, of which the white is nearly half, the brightness is also different, the first two are the darkest, the middle four are relatively bright, and the last three are directly emitting an incomparably strong light, which is dazzling!
There are also nine beads on the right wrist, but unlike the nine beads on the left wrist, the color is different, and the degree of light is also different, but it is directly transparent, but different small objects are placed in turn, similar to what the staff, robe, headband, boots, bracelet wears......
"Soul ...... Soul armor double cultivation, and it is a complete set of nine saint-level suits, and three soul beads are ninth-level demonic beasts and four are sixth-level to eighth-level, although they are not saint-level, but with this strength, they can indeed be on an equal footing with that adult......"
Shi Lingming, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and stammered a little, although the old scholar is not a saint-level strength, it is a rare soul armor double cultivation, and it is also a nine-piece set of saint-level suits, and the level of the soul bead is also terrifying, this strength is indeed not inferior to the saint-level, and it is more powerful than the ordinary saint-level!
As he moved forward, the white light on the old pedant's body gradually dimmed, and his body also changed, white hair covered his whole body, and the nine transparent beads on his right wrist expanded and dispersed, turning into nine rays of light and falling on the old pedant's head, wrists, feet, chest, back and hands!
At this moment, the white light became strong again and did not flicker, but frantically spewed out indescribable white lines from the eight positions just now, and the dense appearance that covered the whole body was no less than a million Dao, and it was really all the suits of the Holy Order, or a whole set!
The light came and went quickly, and the appearance of the old scholar at this time was also presented in Shi Lingming's eyes, the gorgeous gold silk white robe shrouded in his body, white boots and silver bracelets and headbands, all engraved with complex gold silk patterns, like a mysterious magic circle, behind it is a long red cloak, there are some symbols that are also gold, I don't know what it is?
Holding a two-meter-long staff in his hand, a white round gem suspended in the center exudes a piercing chill, no wonder Shi Lingming only found eight pieces of equipment on his body, it turns out that the gem on the staff is also one, two pieces into one!
The whole set of equipment was full of holy atmosphere, but the exposed hands were full of white hair, dry like an ape, and his cheeks were completely ape-like, and the biting chill of fine snow in front of him spread all over his body!
"Snow, monkey, what kind of powerful demonic beast is it?" Shi Lingming said in shock!
At this time, the old pedant gave Shi Lingming the feeling that it was a thousand years of ice, the coldness swept through the whole body, but it was very restrained, and it was mellow and free, this was about to break through the holy level, and all the abilities were gathered into one, that is to say, the level of the old scholar at this time was the ninth order, and the peak of the ninth level was one step away from the holy level, and it was only one foot away!
With this copy is the invincible strength of the Holy Rank to break through the Holy Order, his strength is definitely the top level, and at that time, even if the Lord of the Imperial Capital is a Saint Rank Condensation Master, I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the eyes of the old pedant, that adult should be very glad that he met the old scholar before......
After all, that adult is a soul master and a condensation master, and the soul master's cultivation beast soul and soul armor are just the same, and the main energy is on the condensation master, and the strength of the soul master is only the lowest level!
"Ice Mist ......"
Raising the staff in his hand, the gem at the top emitted a strong light and coldness, and a mist shimmering with ice crystals fluttered away, and the ice gathered in the air and spread into the distance, and the stairs made of ice were layered everywhere he passed!
There is no end in sight, it is effortless to create such a magical scene casually, is this the strength of the peak of the ninth order? really, it is very strong!
"There are a total of ninety-nine steps in this ladder, and after that, there is what you want, and the difficulty of each level is the same as the difficulty of the soul master's cultivation, and every ten levels is a hurdle, symbolizing the meaning of sanctification!"
"Just now I have verified that your heart is trustworthy, this will be your final test, mainly to test whether your character is tenacious, let me see how far you can go on this road, I am waiting for you at the final end!"
Saying that, step out and disappear!
Shi Lingming fell into deep thought, as the old scholar said, the difficulty of this ninety-nine ice ladder corresponds to the ninth and ninth levels of the soul master, then it must be more and more difficult, and the degree of each level is much more difficult than the previous one, until the final difficulty is simply the gap between heaven and earth!
It is very difficult for many soul masters to even cross the first order hurdle, let alone a person who has not yet cultivated, and it is simply impossible to cross the last ladder to get what they want and not necessarily succeed!
If it is, most of the others don't want to think that this is completely making things difficult for people to change the law to reject him, but he is different from the two lives enough to calm down and think about any problem, and this is most likely the reason why the old scholar still has this move, and he also wants to see how far he can go!
Therefore, what the old scholar wants to test is not whether he has the strength to safely cross the ninety-nine ice ladders, but ......
Thinking of this, the corners of Shi Lingming's mouth pulled up and showed a thoughtful smile, and he took a step forward and ......
