Chapter 125: Self-Understanding
After checking himself, Ye Li felt that there should be nothing wrong with the aroma, so he continued to climb towards the top of the tree.
As he continued to penetrate deeper into the clouds, the four people below were gradually left far behind, after all, he was climbing much faster than the four.
The clouds slowly enveloped him, and he could see nothing around him except for the clouds.
Ye Li climbed on the tree for nearly an hour, but the road above was still foggy and he couldn't see anything.
Looking around and under him, it was exactly the same scene, if it weren't for the existence of this tree, Ye Li would not be able to distinguish between up and down, left and right, and front and back.
In such a cookie-cutter boring scene, Ye Li crawled for an hour.
The aroma around him was still strong, but it was as if he had smelled numb, and it was a little imperceptible, and the only emotion he was filled with now was anxiety.
Because he didn't know how long it would take to reach the top of the tree, he felt like he had climbed for about an hour, but since there was no reference, he didn't know how high he had climbed.
And as time went on, he didn't even know if his sense of time was normal, that is, he didn't know if he had really climbed for an hour or two hours or just half an hour.
He began to feel suspicious in his heart, wondering if he was going the wrong way, and suspecting that there was a hole in the trunk of the tree he had passed before, and that he needed to enter.
The thought of going back and checking it again swelled in his mind, and it grew stronger as he climbed.
After continuing to climb up for another quarter of an hour, Ye Li felt that he was already very tired, but there was still no sign of reaching the top of the tree above, as if he had stayed where he was, as if he had not moved at all.
He couldn't help but think that this might be the test of the Wood Walk Trial Land, allowing him to find the right way to reach the top of the tree.
But he couldn't figure out what his condition was at all now, he couldn't reach the top of the tree, was it because the tree was growing, or if he had entered some spatial formation, and after climbing to a certain stage, he would be teleported below by the space.
The more he climbed, the more chaotic the thoughts in his mind became, and all kinds of speculations flashed frequently, and he couldn't help but finally stop, and he had the idea of sliding down the tree to see if he could reach the bottom of the tree.
Just as he was about to act, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of the three times he had been tested by trials before.
What he has to do now is not to try blindly, whether it is wrong to climb up or down, but to first understand the spirit of Mu Xing.
Since Swallowing Sun said at the beginning that the Five Elements Trial here is to make people comprehend the spirit of the Five Elements, then as long as he can figure out what the Spirit of Mu Xing is now, he will definitely be able to find a way to pass the trial.
Ye Li, who was parked on the tree, began to suppress the anxiety in his heart and fell into deep thought.
When it comes to wood, the first thing he thinks of is vitality, and the trees, flowers and plants are full of vitality.
But this is like the impermanence of water, it is only a characteristic of the wood, not a manifestation of its spirit.
Following the steps that had guided him to think about the spirit of water walking, he couldn't help but continue to speculate down on where the manifestation of this wooden walking characteristic was.
Ye Li couldn't help but think of the experience of going to the Demon Beast Mountain Range when he was a child in the Great Wilderness City.
In the early spring, everything comes back to life, and countless shoots sprout on the trees.
What impressed him the most was that some of the tender grass growing under the stones, the soft grass buds, could actually lift the heavy stones with a stubborn upward growth.
This incident left a deep impression on his childish heart.
Thinking of this, he suddenly vaguely understood what the test of the Mu Xing Trial was.
Isn't the predicament he is in now like the stones pressed on the tender grass, he doesn't know how much strength he still needs, how long it will take to hold on to the stones on his head.
But if he has the spirit of Mu Xing, the spirit of perseverance and perseverance, he will naturally be able to burst out with strength far beyond his estimates.
What he has to do now is to turn into a tender grass, draw strength from the land in early spring, and keep growing upward, striving to break through the soil and find a new world.
The same environment around us is not like the darkness in the land, which makes people hopeless and lonely.
But no matter how much hesitation the external environment brings to you, you should not subjectively give up your determination to want to flourish, and this must be the key to solving the puzzle of the trial.
When Ye Li comprehended these things, the original anxiety and doubt in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his tired body seemed to have regained its strength.
His eyes burst out with an astonishing divine light in an instant, instantly piercing through the surrounding fog.
Then he suddenly noticed that a huge canopy was less than twenty meters in front of him.
Looking down, the ground below could be faintly seen, and his current position was only about eighty meters high in the tree.
And the four people behind him had chased him to a place about ten meters away from him, but now they seemed to have lost their minds, staying in place, but from time to time they would climb a few meters up.
"Ye Li, you finally woke up, I thought you couldn't comprehend Mu Xing's spirit, and I was ready to use the divine sense transmission to wake you up.
But you seem to have made some progress and can get through this test on your own. ”
The voice of swallowing the sun sounded in Ye Li's ears.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, and said, "Senior Swallowing Sun, what are you talking about, wake me up?"
I was really hallucinating just now, but I didn't feel the power of the soul attack. ”
Swallowing Sun said, "When did I say that you were attacked by the power of the soulwalker?"
It's not just soul attacks that can make people enter the illusion realm, didn't you just smell a scent?"
After swallowing Ri said this, Ye Li suddenly understood, and the doubts in his heart were completely cleared.
"I see, it was the scent that put me hallucinating.
It is necessary to understand the spirit of Muxing and persevere all the way forward in order to break free from the illusion. ”
Ye Li said excitedly.
Swallow Sun nodded and said, "Yes, the purpose of this trial is to let people understand where the spirit of Mu Xing lies.
Different from the earth-walking trial, the perseverance to resist external pressure.
In this wood test, you need to overcome the undetermined emotions that come from within yourself.
When a person is in a state of hesitation, loneliness, and not seeing the way forward, he is likely to give up what he has always insisted on, starting from within, and disintegrating his will by himself.
I have just felt the change in your heart, you have stayed in the tree for a long time, and even faintly retreated, but fortunately, even if you wake up, you can pass the trial. ”
