Chapter 207: The Fourth Assessment
The three days passed quickly, and on this day, the second assessment was finally over. According to the regulations, Li Leng and Tianxin had to leave Tianmang Mountain. Tianxin and Li Leng crushed the identity jade plate at the same time, and after a while, two figures quietly appeared beside them, the elders who took them back. One of the slightly older men glanced at Li Leng and Tianxin strangely, and when he saw that the two of them were disheveled, with such expressions, he said, "Why did you two come here? This is not our assessment prescribed place. Don't ignore your own danger for the sake of momentary pleasure, do you know?"
The other man chuckled softly and said, "Old Feng, don't talk about these two young people, we are also from that age." Young man, I haven't seen ...... The world has finally seen ...... It's understandable that someone you like is impulsive. Thou, don't talk too much about them, lest you ...... They are embarrassed...... I'm sorry. ”
Tianxin and Li Leng were speechless, where is this, and what are they saying. Tianxin's face was extremely cold, but these two people were both assessment elders, and they might be joking or a kind reminder when they spoke, and there was no malicious intent or mockery, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only stand there angrily. As for Li Leng, he smiled faintly, there are some things, the more you explain, the more no one believes them. For example, in this matter, everyone sees that he and Tianxin are disheveled, and normal people's minds will think like that, at this time, if you explain so much, you will have a feeling of wanting to cover up. They simply don't explain, they can think whatever they like, as long as they know in their hearts that they are innocent, and it may not be useful to say more.
One of the men took out two sets of clothes from the storage bag and asked Li Leng and Tianxin to change them first, and after they had changed, the man said, "Your luck is really good, it's okay to enter a place other than the assessment." In this assessment, I don't know why, many candidates died in Tianmang Mountain for no reason. We investigated, and it looked like it was the hand of the demon tester, but in fact, it should be someone else secretly killing the candidates of the ancestral hall. And you are all out of the protection of the ancestral hall, and you can still stand here unharmed, I have to say that your luck is a good explosion. "If he knew that what happened to Li Leng and Tianxin was like nine deaths, and he almost died at the hands of those people, then he wouldn't think so, and he wouldn't say that.
Tianxin snorted coldly, he didn't explain so much at all, and he didn't say that someone in the ancestral hall secretly colluded with the demon tester, this kind of thing, if it is said, the ancestral hall may not believe it, but will be beaten upside down by those people, saying that she is the holy daughter of the demon clan, with ill intentions, and wants to provoke the relationship between the ancestral hall, then, her situation is dangerous. If the ancestral hall itself has the ability, then it will investigate it by itself. If she doesn't have the ability herself, then even if she tells the truth of the matter, the ancestral hall may not believe it, and may not have the ability to deal with it. Therefore, she did not intend to say about it. Tianxin glanced at the man coldly, angry at the misunderstanding just now, and then left with another person on his own, leaving the man with a dazed face.
"What's going on!?Did I say the wrong thing?" The elder also has a better personality, and he was still at a loss to know what was going on when Tianxin looked at him like this, but he was not angry that Tianxin looked at him like this, and was reflecting on whether he had said something wrong and made Tianxin angry with him. He went to look at Li Leng and said, "A woman's heart, is it particularly fickle? To put it well, she can say that she can change?" It should be a person who is about to go crazy who is tortured by a woman, so he has such a profound experience and understanding.
Li Leng smiled and said, "Elder, she is in a bad mood, you, don't worry about her." Let's go!" didn't explain anything, his mind was similar to Tianxin, thinking that the ancestral hall was capable and would definitely investigate the truth of the matter. Moreover, he vaguely felt that the ancestral hall did not know anything, and deliberately did not say it, it was very likely that the ancestral hall itself had some plans and means, or lured the snake out of the hole and lured the spies out. Without understanding the situation, the best thing to do is to stay out of the situation for a while and see the whole situation clearly.
Returning to the original assembly place, the people who passed the third assessment were all standing in place, Li Leng took a look and found that there was a third less. These are all carefully selected geniuses from various sects and vassal states, and everyone's cultivation and strength are not weak, but just one assessment, one-third of them died. This matter will have a very big impact, and it won't take long for it to spread throughout the entire Xiuzhen sect and vassal states, and it will have a very big impact on the reputation of the ancestral hall. Therefore, it immediately attracted the attention of the high-level of the ancestral hall, and sent many powerful masters to enter Tianmang Mountain to search and rescue the survivors, as well as the bodies of the victims. No matter what, the ancestral hall must give an explanation to the monks of the world, and also investigate the matter clearly. In the next few assessments, the ancestral hall has sent additional manpower, and it must be ensured that this kind of situation cannot occur again in the future, otherwise, the bad impact of the incident will be uncontrollable.
Tianxin stood in another square, as if she had kept a distance from Li Leng intentionally or unintentionally, not wanting others to know the relationship between her and Li Leng. Kill Wuxin walked over quietly, clasped his hands together at Li Leng, and said very sincerely: "Master Li! This time my sister can return safely and soundly, I really want to thank you." I know that without you, my sister would have died at the hands of those people. To be honest, I have also met those killers, and their strength is very strong, not like the indigenous demon testers of Tianmang Mountain. Hehe, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I almost died at the hands of those people, and I can't come back, but fortunately I also have a magic weapon for defense. ”
Li Leng was speechless and said, "You sinister little monk, didn't you find out that something was wrong a long time ago, so you deliberately led your sister to my side, and deliberately let your sister team up with me?
Kill Wuxin touched Guangguang's head with a smile, and said with a sigh: "I won't tell you, as soon as I entered Tianmang Mountain, I felt that the murderous aura here was very fierce. As you know, we Buddhists are very sensitive to murderous aura. However, I don't want to walk with my sister, you don't know how strong my sister is, and there are many things, so she persuades me to go back all day and inherit the position of the Demon Emperor. However, I didn't want to go back, and I felt that Buddhism was my destination. Come to think of it, the best thing to do is not to walk with her. But I don't worry about her safety, and I don't believe anyone can protect her except you. ”
"Remember, you owe me a big favor this time, another day, I must pay it back to you, you can't come. Li shook his head with a wry smile, everything has already happened, and it is useless to say too much at this time. To be honest, it is to let Kill Wuxin owe him a favor, and it is good to slowly find him in the future, which can be regarded as making up for his loss this time, and it is not in vain that he takes care of Tianxin.
"No problem, it must be returned, it must be returned. Kill Wuxin laughed awkwardly, and suddenly saw Tianxin looking towards him, his eyes looked very sharp, he laughed, and said, "I'd better go over!" After speaking, he lowered his head to go back, and accidentally collided with Ruoshui. He glanced up at Ruoshui, and suddenly his brows tightened together, and his face changed, but he only glanced at Ruoshui, didn't say anything, and still lowered his head and returned to Tianxin. Standing in the heart of heaven, he is also silent.
The act of killing Wuxin was seen by Li Leng and felt a little strange, killing Wuxin's character is extroverted, as long as he is not provoked and releases the demonized killing Wuxin, his whole person is simple and kind. But why did he see Ruoshui, his face became so ugly, and his brows were still tightly locked, looking preoccupied. Is there anything wrong with the water?
Ruoshui seemed to feel that someone was observing him, turned his head slightly, saw Li Leng's surprised gaze, and said coldly: "What do you think I am doing?"
"Nothing, just looking. Li Leng smiled, but did not continue to say anything.
After the third assessment, the fourth assessment officially began. This assessment is a test of mental power. Generally, after cultivating to the foundation building realm, they will begin to open up the sea of consciousness for the cultivation of mental power. If a monk wants to conquer the Heavenly Dao and succeed in crossing the tribulation, he must have a strong sense of the sea. If you don't have strong mental power, no matter how you cultivate, you can't achieve much.
It's just that mental power cultivation is not like martial arts cultivation, with powerful exercises and rich cultivation resources, it will naturally advance rapidly. For the cultivation of mental power, the most fundamental thing is the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and the control of the natural power, only the deeper comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and the stronger control of the natural power will make one's mental power very strong. Therefore, many cultivators who have cultivated to be powerful do not have a deep understanding of the Heavenly Dao and do not have a thorough grasp of the forces of nature, so their ability to perceive the sea is not strong.
For this kind of monk, from a certain point of view, their potential is not great, unless they have the help of powerful magic weapons, otherwise, the probability of surviving the heavenly tribulation will be very low. And even if there are powerful magic weapons to help them survive the Heavenly Tribulation, because they have not allowed their bodies to fully withstand the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation, their physique is very weak compared to ordinary scattered immortals. It is the importance of mental power that the ancestral hall has cultivated for the exam, and it is listed separately for assessment. If you want to become a disciple of the Ancestral Palace, you must reach the fifteenth level of your mind power in the sea of knowledge. Don't look at it as the fifteenth order, the sea awareness power in the foundation building realm and the Jindan realm is generally at the thirteenth order, and when it reaches the fifteenth order, it is already very good. There is no big opportunity, and every time the mental power breaks through a level, it is a thousand difficulties, and it takes a long time to temper.
When the elder in charge of the assessment announced this rule, those candidates who passed the third assessment thought that their sea awareness had not reached such a high level, and they all said that it was unfair. The elder quietly listened to everyone's complaints, and he did not immediately put forward rebuttal opinions and opinions, but said very calmly: "Your opposition is useless, this is the world where the strong are respected. When you protest and are not convinced, your end and outcome have already been noted. So, don't tell me that this assessment is unfair, the world leaves opportunities for the strong. You are not, you can only be eliminated. The assessment starts now. ”
The leading elder of each team led his students to a very large field, where there was a tall pagoda, exuding great power, quietly watching every candidate. Yes, gaze. When everyone appeared here, they felt that the pagoda seemed to have a soul, and they could look at all things in heaven and earth, and they could see through everything in everyone.
"What a powerful artifact spirit! I'm afraid this is the magic weapon of the acquired supreme treasure!" Others didn't know what was going on, but Li Leng saw through this pagoda at a glance that this pagoda was the supreme treasure of the day after tomorrow, and it had already formed a powerful artifact spirit. It was this powerful machine spirit that was watching the crowd. In other words, from the moment they entered this field, the machine spirit was already observing everyone, and from the preliminary observation, the preliminary elimination personnel could be screened out. As for the back, it is to determine the true ranking of the candidates. Those who have not yet reached the fifteenth level of sea awareness, Li Leng guessed, they will not be able to enter the gate of the pagoda. If you want to enter the gate of the pagoda, you must have reached the fifteenth level of sea awareness.
Then, ten people went in each time, and the assessment time was one hour. In an hour's time, the candidate only passes the second level, which is considered to have passed. The pagoda has a total of seven floors, and each floor has three exam questions, and only if all three exam questions are passed, it is considered to have passed the assessment. Don't look at the fact that there are only three questions in each layer, it is very difficult to answer correctly or pass. If the mind of the sea is not strong enough, it will be easily eliminated. Once he is sent out of the pagoda, then he will not have the opportunity to become a disciple of the ancestral hall.
An hour later, the first team of ten candidates came out, a total of five people passed the assessment, and five people were eliminated. The five people who passed the assessment only passed the assessment of the second layer, and they couldn't enter the third layer. This should be because their sea awareness has not reached a certain level, so naturally they cannot enter the third level of assessment. According to the corresponding regulations, the first level of assessment must be the fifteenth level of sea awareness, and the second level is the sixteenth level. From the third layer onwards, the requirements for the ability to know the sea are more demanding. Each layer rises by five realm levels, for example, the third layer is the 20th level, the fourth layer is the 25th level, and the fifth layer is the 30th level......
The second team is the Tianxin and Killing Wuxin group, and after they entered the pagoda, they looked very relaxed. With their sea awareness, there is no problem in entering the fourth layer. Of course, time is very tight, and it is still unknown whether they can pass the fourth layer of assessment. This depends on what kind of realm and extent they have reached in the use of the power of mindfulness of the sea.
