Chapter 300: The Trial Ends
Climbing the cliff, looking back at the endless snowy field dozens of feet away, the black pressure and wailing animals, and even the ice and snow canopy full of oppression, Ling Qingyun was deeply touched.
"I am a strong man with a golden body, I can fly away in the eyes of the world, and I am even known as the strongest sword cultivator of the younger generation in the Qinghe Continent, but I can't even help this small rift, and I almost planted it here!" Ling Qingyun sighed, the strong man with a golden body is known as invulnerable, invulnerable, and flying away, this is actually a general statement, invulnerability is aimed at ordinary weapons, and when encountering iron weapons, The Golden Mother weapon is naturally chopped and chopped vegetables, and it is also an ordinary water and fire that does not invade, if it encounters the fire in the center of the earth or falls into the deep sea, it still has to be killed, and as for flying to the sky, it is an extraordinary means that only a very few golden body realms can master, and the flying person is even rarer than the golden body and jade body.
"If you master the levitation technique, or the flying of the sword, etc., I don't know how much easier it will be to fly through this rift!" It is inevitable that there will be hope, although those who can fly may not be able to fight against the cold current, but it is much more reliable than jumping and soaring, but it is a pity that flying methods are too rare, either extremely precious magic weapons, or rare flying martial arts - flying martial arts are even rarer than top martial arts, there are a few in Nanming Academy, but unfortunately Ling Qingyun is not very suitable for learning, and it is useless to study for a while.
Ling Qingyun even had the idea of refining a flying sword, the flying sword was precious, and the value of the real flying sword was more than that of the Xuantie weapon, but with Ling Qingyun's current net worth, it was not a problem to buy one, and it would not be a problem to cooperate with the flying method of the sword.
"Forget it, it's better for the flying sword to be driven by mana, and if you really want to fly with a better quality, the gains outweigh the losses. Thinking about it, Ling Qingyun shook his head, although he was also a sword cultivator, it was completely different from those Xiuzhen sword cultivators who mastered flying swords, the flying sword that could make Xiuzhen sword cultivation sweep the same level fall into the hands of a martial artist sword cultivator was not as practical as a Xuantie sword, one was good at flying, and the other was used for wielding, of course, it could not be confused. As for learning to practice the true sword and use the sword technique, it is no less difficult than learning to practice the sword from the beginning, unless those who are strong enough to make progress, who has this kung fu?
Of course, the most important thing for Ling Qingyun is that he is already a golden body powerhouse and a top celestial pride, although he can't fly yet, it is only a matter of time before he really learns how to fly, there is no need to spend a lot of trouble on this, buy a flying sword and learn how to fly with a sword.
"Speaking of which, this trial is really demanding on the realm of skill. Ling Qingyun, who had a short rest, couldn't help but think that when he first came, the earth collapsed, and he needed to dodge it with his body, and then in the nameless barren valley, he had to perceive the phantom array, read the message, and finally broke through the door with superb sword skills to evolve the river, this rift valley was even more difficult to break through, and he had to do his best to block Ling Qingyun from severity, calculate the law of the cold current and turn it into a help to reach the other side in a hurry.
Of course, if the strength is enough, these levels can be broken with one force, the earth will be cracked, the Thirty Feet Rift Valley, the Flying in the Sky will be, the Wild Valley Phantom Array, the powerful spiritual power will be directly ignored, or the Wild Valley will be torn apart with one palm, but Ling Qingyun believes that the so-called trial is set for the cultivator's cultivation, and he must not break the law by force, and he needs to follow the laws to get through, which is a completely different test from the first three levels.
"There are thousands of skills in the world, and if I take this path, it may be completely different if someone else takes it. Ling Qingyun muttered to himself, such as the barren valley, but it was clearly said that there was a "key", which should be a shortcut, and if he didn't find the key, it didn't mean that others couldn't find it...... In fact, this whole road requires too many skills, when facing the siege of the beast herd, when passing through the frozen lake, if you know how to spell, magic, taming beasts, formations and other means, you can completely walk out of a completely different path from him.
"Runes are also a great way, but it's getting harder and harder to progress. Thinking of this, Ling Qingyun was a little regretful, it was not that he lacked talent, but that the classics of the runes were really limited, although he also collected some in Nanming Academy and Ling Yuecheng, compared to what he had written in the Mingyue Stone Palace, it was really difficult for him to quickly advance the rune attainments with the limited runes, and now he had fused all the defensive runes, but the defensive power provided could not be compared with the golden body and jade body and the true qi barrier, and the role of auxiliary runes such as light body runes and delusional runes was greater.
"If only I could get other rune inheritances. With this thought, Ling Qingyun continued to move forward without looking back, because he knew that behind him was a group of beings who were unable to fight in the face of natural disasters, although they tried their best to cross thousands of miles of snow to get here, they couldn't step through this level of heaven after all, they were the majority, and the lives that stopped in the catastrophe would eventually be the majority.
"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and everything has a glimmer of life, so now, where is the virtue of a good life, where is the vitality?" Ling Qingyun couldn't help but ask himself, but he couldn't save them, all he could do was to tide over the difficulties by himself and survive in this catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Crossing the rift valley, continue to move forward in the snow-capped world, it is colder here, there are fewer creatures, the life that can cross the rift valley is only a few after all, the native life must have already begun to migrate, Ling Qingyun almost chased by the canopy of heaven and tried to move westward, crossing five hundred miles, and only after a certain distance did he meet the first group in this land - a group of scrawny, rickety wild horses that could fall at any time.
With a roar, the strongest wild horse rushed towards Ling Qingyun with red eyes, of course it was not a greeting, Ling Qingyun felt the killing intent, and the feeling of being treated as a prey.
"Survival is forced!" sighed, Ling Qingyun finally killed the wild horse that had become a predator, and for it that could no longer move forward, this might be a relief that was better than lingering.
"I am not qualified to judge, nor can I judge its merits. Ling Qingyun shook his head and left, helping him to get rid of it? This is the case from one point of view, but from another point of view, it is a lie, is it only his own desire to survive that he is strong, and the will of others to continue to survive at all costs is crazy? Ling Qingyun didn't know what Mustang had in his last thoughts, but he did free the other party from the pain, but took away its last bit of hope.
Is this to help the other party to get rid of it? It is just to ensure that one's own path is unimpeded, and to arbitrarily decide the fate of the other party with one's own speculation. Ling Qingyun thought about it, he had killed many demon beasts, and he rarely had so many thoughts, maybe because life was precious in this snowy region, or perhaps, the heaven that dominated everything also had similar thoughts to him?
As he went, he saw giant beasts that turned into ice sculptures and kept moving forward, snow-capped mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, ruins covered in ice and snow, and volcanoes that erupted and then froze in the bitter cold...... Storms and thunder and lightning bring coldness, and the predators lurking in the white carry hysterical madness.
This road is full of dangers, there are small rifts with a diameter of twenty zhang, there are dangerous places with constant lightning strikes, and there are spirit beasts that go crazy and destroy everywhere...... Here Ling Qingyun even met a human being for a long time, and it was naturally touching to meet in this catastrophe, but when the blade attacked, his heart was cold.
"It's not a youkai avatar this time. Looking at the corpses of the same clan all over the ground, it was the tired Ling Qingyun who left silently, and the red on the ground had not been flowing for long, and it had already solidified in the ice and snow.
Distinguishing between good and evil and hostility is also a part of the realm, and Ling Qingyun has learned a lot.
Thousands of miles and a thousand miles passed, and the sunlight obscured by the canopy of heaven became more and more dim, and the traveler in the vast white snow could not help but wonder where he could go, the end of the world? But if the canopy swallowed up the whole world, what was the use of going to the end of the world?
"It is said that it has also gone tens of thousands of miles, starting from the edge of the southwest group of mountains, and it is normal to reach the edge of the continent. Muttering to himself, Ling Qingyun, who was looking far away, looked at him with a sharp gaze.
He saw a deep blue at the end of the vast frost white.
He really reached the end of the continent, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, stepping onto the ice cliff under the rapid pursuit of the ice and snow sky, and looking ahead—the endless frost blue.
It's the sea, the vast but frozen sea.
Avoiding the natural disasters of the cold and the earth, he traveled all the way to the west, but he saw an even more endless cold at the end of the earth.
Is there any hope? Even the sea is frozen, where else in this world is not covered in ice and snow? Perhaps, but the ever-accelerating ice and snow canopy is behind him, how can he have a chance to find it?
Will it stop here, or step on the frozen sea, and continue to race against the endless cold? It will be a lonely and desperate road, always moving forward as fast as possible and staying vigilant to prevent danger, and the end may be to be caught up by the canopy and turned into ice sculptures, starving to death in the sea of ice with no life at all, or even more helpless to freeze to death and die of exhaustion.
After stopping for a moment, the sound of ice and snow lapping seemed to be close to his ears, Ling Qingyun advanced, the deep blue ice surface did not shake in any way due to the weight, but it was chilling, how thick is the ice covering the sea surface?
Forward, forward, unconsciously far away from the coast, looking down can see frozen fish and shrimp, this is more blatant cruelty than the land, just walked out hundreds of miles, Ling Qingyun suddenly turned around, the vast ice and snow covered the sky, like the mouth of a giant beast, completely swallowing the last land.
The cold heart clenched suddenly, Ling Qingyun realized that his hope was gone, but what was the point of realizing it?
The canopy, which swept everything with extreme cold, swept across the continent and froze all the mountains, rivers and lives exploded at this moment!
It was cornered at the end of the continent, froze everything, and with it.
As if a mission had been accomplished, the destructive power that the entire continent feared disappeared, and it was so strong that the heavens and the earth changed color, and it was as short as a cockroach cricket.
An indescribable mood haunted his heart, and after a long pause, he embarked on the road back.
Is it still meaningful to just go back to this frozen continent?
Yes, he saw other figures pouring in from the icy sea, and the other most tenacious beings also set out on their way home, and in the snowy land, he saw long-dormant life emerge from under the snow, and he saw the ice and snow melt and green grow.
As the snow melted, other drastic changes followed, and the trials weren't over yet.
Ling Qingyun moved forward, fighting demon beasts in the resource-deficient continent, trying his best to crack the formation in the ruins, and also facing the flood of the melting snow-capped mountains, swords and mist in a boat, thrilling survival.
The drastic changes were like legends and myths, and the Golden Body Realm cultivators were as humble as ants in the great power of heaven and earth, but Ling Qingyun's confidence never disappeared, because he was in charge of his own life.
Eventually, he fell into an insurmountable situation and fell into darkness after trying his best to get through.
A familiar, emotionless voice comes straight into my head.
"The trial is over. ”
The journey has come to an end.
