Chapter 21: The True Self Mirror [Seeking Support During the Ranking]
The next day, the outer door competition was still in full swing.
However, this time, all the outer disciples were informed that the third assessment was not conducted on the school grounds.
When they arrived at the school early in the morning, they were notified that today's competition was not on the school grounds, but they were all waiting for further notices on the school grounds at this time.
"What's going on? Not in the school field? So where are we going?"
There were only a hundred outer disciples left who had passed the two rounds, and the sound of their heads and ears was particularly obvious at this time.
"I heard that this time the sect attaches great importance to our competition, and this round is also a special round. ”
Some of the outer disciples who knew the situation began to explain in a low voice to those they knew.
However, in contrast, more people have apprehension and anxiety on their faces. After all, this time the outer door competition is obviously different from previous years, the information their family gets can no longer help them, and everything that follows can only rely on themselves.
This fear of the unknown is something that everyone has.
"Hey, Bai Yang!"
At this moment, Bai Yang heard a crisp voice calling himself.
He looked over and found Xia Yue standing there pretty, waving her hand happily: "Here! I'm here!"
I saw Xia Yue trotting over, her face flushed, and she looked very happy: "I knew that you would definitely be able to pass the first two rounds of the competition, how about it, are you confident in the third round?"
Bai Yang showed a hint of a smile, Xia Yue's lively emotions were really infectious, and he said slowly: "I don't know the content of the competition yet, so I can't draw conclusions yet." ”
Xia Yue shrugged her shoulders with a smile and said, "Anyway, no matter what the competition is, you must win, I have confidence in you." As she spoke, she waved her hand again, and disappeared into the crowd.
For her style of coming when she wants to come and going when she wants to go, Bai Yang pursed her lips a little helplessly, but there was a faint warmth in her heart.
Xia Yue is using her way to cheer herself up, although it is a little special, but the kindness in it Bai Yang can still be felt.
"Senior Brother Bai, what a coincidence. Just when Bai Yang's heart was still lingering with a faint warmth, an extremely annoying gentle voice sounded, causing Bai Yang to frown and turn his head.
I saw Murong Zhen walking slowly, still with that indifferent smile on his face, which didn't care about anything, looking extremely young and old.
He stared at Bai Yang and said, "Now I want to congratulate Senior Brother Bai for passing the first two rounds of the competition safe and sound, this time the top ten outside the door, I'm afraid I will leave a place for Senior Brother Bai." ”
Bai Yang stared at Murong Zhen, and after a moment, said, "You enjoy this feeling, don't you?"
"Huh?" Murong Zhen still maintained his demeanor as if he hadn't reacted: "I don't know what Senior Brother Bai is referring to." ”
Bai Yang chuckled, grinned, and said, "A civilian disciple like me, I'm afraid I've never been taken seriously by you." ”
"Senior Brother Bai, where do you start with this?" Murong Zhen couldn't see any anger with a smile, but his slightly narrowed eyes already showed killing intent.
Bai Yang shook his head and said lightly: "It doesn't make sense to say anything now, but there are some things that have to be done at a price." You are the pride of heaven high above, I am just an ordinary person struggling on the path of cultivation, I just hope that the next time I appear in front of you, you can still maintain this proud appearance. ”
"Murong Zhen, don't forget, your pride comes from your family. Bai Yang slowly rubbed shoulders with Murong Zhen and said calmly: "When the family behind you can no longer protect you, go and confess to the people you regard as weak ants." ”
Murong Zhen's heart trembled, and he stared at Bai Yang's back with some consternation, and immediately, a touch of madness surged into his face, and he said coldly in his heart: "Bai Yang, the days when you can be hard only these few days, I will let you completely fall into the dust when you are most proud!"
"Ahem. ”
At this time, on the high platform of the school field, a thin gray-robed old man appeared, he cleared his throat, looked at the hundred outer disciples in the field, and said slowly: "Today's third round of competition, I will preside over it, you should all get the news, this competition is not in the school field, and the content of the competition is not what you imagined, just let you face off so simply." ”
This gray-robed old man is Lu Chao, the elder of the Sword Pavilion who is responsible for presiding over today's third round of competition.
As soon as he waved the sleeves of his robe, two inner disciples walked up and lifted up a huge mirror that was several people high.
Lu Chao glanced at this big mirror, smiled slightly, and there was a trace of remembrance in his hoarse voice: "This is called [True Self Mirror], it can reflect the other side of your heart." Hidden in it is a space where you can fight against your transformed self. I think you have heard of a saying that cultivation is continuous self-breakthrough, and cultivating to a truly advanced realm is to kill the demons in your heart and make yourself truly firm and fearless, so that you can achieve the right path. This [True Self Mirror] can allow you to remind you of the feeling of demons in advance, and overcome yourself, so that you can overcome everything. ”
"Moreover, if you are not able to pass the trial of the [True Self Mirror], then there is no need for Zuihou to compete in the [Phantom Moon Demon Realm]. Lu Chao's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at the outer disciples who were worried, "Because in the [Phantom Moon Demon Realm], you not only have to face your own fellow disciples, but also face all kinds of demons that disturb people's hearts, this [Phantom Moon Demon Realm] was originally also a treasure of the Demon Sect, and it was the spoils obtained by the former sages of our Xuanjian Sect after fighting with those people in the Demon Dao, and now it has become a level assessment that our sect disciples must pass! Originally, they were qualified to enter the [Phantom Moon Demon Realm] It must be an inner disciple, but this time there are a lot of geniuses in your outer door, and the sect decided to let you get proper training, so the [Phantom Moon Demon Realm] was taken out as a competition. ”
"If your mind is not firm, you will lose yourself in the [Phantom Moon Demon Realm], become a walking corpse driven by demons, and your heart will invade and you will lose your true self. However, every time you defeat, you will get a lot of rewards, which is naturally a later story, now what you want to challenge is the hidden self in the [True Self Mirror], if you can't pass it, then everything after that is all empty talk!" Lu Chao waved his sleeves and said lightly: "Enter the [True Self Mirror] in turn, and you will be teleported to the space in it to challenge yourself." ”
It was only then that everyone understood what it meant that the competition would not be held on campus.
Looking at the huge mirror, the outer disciples present were somewhat frightened in their hearts.
It's not that I'm afraid that I'm going to go to an unknown space to try, but I'm afraid to face the real darkness in my heart.
Just when no one dared to climb the high platform, Bai Yang suddenly walked out, and walked steadily towards the huge mirror.
After seeing that he was completely submerged in the mirror, Xia Yue didn't think much about it, stepped on a light step, ran up the high platform, and walked into the mirror.
Seeing that someone had already started the battle, there was a commotion among the outer disciples for a while, and they followed one after another.
Lu Chao watched quietly, his thin face trembling slightly, as if he remembered that he had participated in the trial of this [True Self Mirror] many years ago. At that time, he was just a young man in the Battle Qi Realm, and now he is an elder of the Sword Pavilion, with a high position and power, and his cultivation is not comparable to that of the past.
After a sigh, Lu Chao no longer recalled the past, and just waited for all the outer disciples to enter the [True Self Mirror], and then he said to the two inner disciples: "The [True Self Mirror] consumes a lot of space to open up, and if those teenagers win, they will also consume the liliang of the [True Self Mirror], you two and I will work together to maintain the consumption of the [True Self Mirror]." ”
The two inner disciples nodded in response, "Yes, Elder." ”
――――――――――――――――
After entering the [True Self Mirror], Bai Yang only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and all the scenes around him were pulled and blurred, zuihou, he fell into a wonderful space.
There are mountains and rivers around here, and there are also scenes of forest birds flying together and beasts roaring, but all of this is just a fake appearance presented with the texture of ink and wash.
Bai Yang looked at everything around him, and found that the power of the stars in his body suddenly jumped.
Bai Yang couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that there is something here that makes the power of the stars feel excited?"
He looked around, and there didn't seem to be anything special except for the space itself, which was extremely peculiar.
At this moment, a dark water stain appeared in front of him, slowly spreading. It didn't stop showing signs of expanding outward until it spread to about the size of a lake.
Then, a man slowly emerged from the middle of the dark lake.
Bai Yang looked at it and found that the person was himself.
As soon as the 'white sun' appeared from the lake and shot out like an arrow from a string, it rushed towards the white sun.
Bai Yang snapped, reacted quickly, and at the same time smashed his fist towards himself who was running in front of him.
"This is really my negative consciousness, full of violent feelings!" Bai Yang smashed it with a punch, but the other party did not resist hard, and sank into the lake with a pop.
And there was nothing but a faint ripple.
Bai Yang looked down and saw that although he was stepping on the dark lake, he couldn't sink at all, as if he was stepping on the ground.
It's just that after his negative consciousness sank into the water, he didn't know where to hide, Bai Yang was vigilant, and the air around him had a dignified smell.
Suddenly!
The lake under his feet burst into a pitch-black wave, and the negative consciousness that was exactly the same as himself rushed out of the lake again, and he directly performed the imperfect fist technique. Three explosions continued to sound one after another, pushing the lake away and hitting Bai Yang's chest.
The white eyes and eyes froze, and the dust in the body quickly channeled the battle qi, and in an instant, it was the same fist response, and three explosions exploded in the air, colliding with the pale fist.
Bang!
The lake beneath their feet burst into a huge wave.
