On a certain mountain rock, Li Nanshan closed his eyes and meditated, sitting cross-legged, he was in a peaceful mood, the white clouds wrapped in his body were even more soft and comfortable, this last trial of the heart, unexpectedly bland, when he was secretly confused in his heart, suddenly, a touching cry came into his ears.

"Brother Shan......"

This soft shout seemed to be real and illusory, as if there was nothing, Li Nanshan knew the sea and buzzed, and suddenly it was blank, he trembled violently, and a huge wave was set off in his heart, because this voice belonged to ...... Zhao Yeqing!

Tender like water, soft like a dream, the voice that has not been forgotten for decades instantly touched the depths of Li Nanshan's heart, the softest place.

Li Nanshan understood that this shout was just an illusion, and he knew that this was a spiritual trial, but his body still couldn't stop trembling, and he still couldn't help but want to open his eyes.

"Brother Shan...... Don't you want to look at it clearly...... Do you know that over the past few decades, Qing'er has been every minute... I miss you so much...... You open your eyes and take a look, okay?"

A bitter and poignant soft voice came into his ears, and scenes from the past continued to emerge in the sea of knowledge, Li Nanshan's figure was shaking, his face was struggling, his expression was painful, and his heart was in great pain, and the pain was like a tide, drowning his whole person.

"It's fake! It's all an illusion! She's not Qing'er!!"

Li Nanshan kept silently reciting in his heart, warning himself that he must not open his eyes, once he opened his eyes, everything was just in vain, everything was just a big dream, and at the same time, he would lose his qualification for the competition!

However, at this moment, a soft body suddenly clinged to Li Nanshan's back, and a pair of soft and boneless wrists hugged his neck tightly.

Li Nanshan's body suddenly stiffened, Zhao Yeqing's gentle and delicate face seemed to be resting on his shoulder, her expression was sad, like a ghostly resentment, in Li Nanshan's ear, exhaled like an orchid, like a cry, and said weakly in a low voice: "Brother Shan... Are you ...... I don't like Qing'er anymore...... Qing'er knows that she is not worthy of you...... Qing'er is leaving... From now on...... Qing'er will never pester you again. ”

Li Nanshan couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, his heart was like a knife, tingling, he felt that Zhao Yeqing was slowly letting go of his hands, wanting to leave again.

Li Nanshan's heart seemed to be ripped off a piece of it, it hurt so much that he couldn't care about anything else, grabbed the slender hand that was about to leave, and roared: "Qing'er... Don't go!!"

The warm nephrite-like touch does exist, Li Nanshan really grabbed Zhao Yeqing's wrist, his body trembled, his emotions were out of control, and he couldn't control himself anymore, fake or real, he just wanted to take a look at Qing'er who was looking for it and thinking about it for a long time!

Li Nanshan was about to open his eyes and take a good look at Zhao Yeqing, but at this moment, the delicate body clinging to his back, the wrist in his hand, and the cry of joy in his ears dissipated in an instant, and all of this was like an unattainable dream, which became empty in an instant.

Li Nanshan chuckled in his heart, trembled violently, and opened his eyes impatiently, only to find that all around him were white clouds and mist, and his heart instantly became empty, as if a large piece was missing.

Li Nanshan's throat was sweet, and he directly spurted out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes were dilated, and he shouted in despair: "Ah!! fake ...... If it's fake, why do you have to lie to me!!"

......

At this time, there were only one hundred and ninety-two people left in the furnace realm, and the mental trial had just begun, and in less than a quarter of an hour, one after another disciples who had been recognized by Xinghuozi began to be unable to bear it after facing their respective "heart apes", and directly lost their qualifications for the competition.

In just a quarter of an hour, because most of the disciples were directly eliminated, the trial of the mind was over.

On the platform, the more than 500 disciples who had lost their qualifications and were swept out of the furnace were all pale and dispossessed, some of them lowered their heads and were in a trance, some were clutching their hair and their faces were full of pain, and some were lost and depressed, as if they were walking dead.

These more than 500 disciples obviously suffered a huge stab in the short period of an hour, when they faced the "Heart Ape".

In the furnace realm, the expressions of the one hundred and ninety-two disciples are also almost the same, in the trial of the heart, they only perform a little better, and no one can easily face, overcome, or even defeat their own inner demons.

The tens of thousands of disciples on the platform, looking at the more than 500 disciples at the front, all of them seemed to have suffered a great change in their lives, they were all shocked in their hearts, and Xinghuozi saw that they were still immersed in the trial of their hearts, and immediately shouted: "Don't wake up soon!"

In this majestic voice, there seems to contain some kind of strange supernatural power, like the sound of a bell, waking up every disciple who is deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself.

Feng Liqing's eyes were dull, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, two lines of tears poured down, and he muttered to himself: "He's not a big brother... He is...... My father. ”

Wen Caiwei's eyes were dazed, her expression was confused, her heart was in a mess, and she whispered to herself: "This is not an illusory illusion... This is...... A scene in my memory... I've seen her before...... When is it... Where is it...... Who the hell is she?"

Li Nanshan lowered his head, his eyes were lonely, the pain and loss of this loss and regain, the pain and loss of gain and loss, this loneliness alone in a foreign land, no one can understand, no one can confide.

Li Nanshan suddenly turned his head, looked at the cold and empty behind him, and a melancholy sigh spread around, low and inaudible.

------

On the wooden pillar, Xinghuozi's eyes flashed, his figure flickered, and he came to the front of the platform in an instant, he looked at more than five hundred disciples, whose faces were still a little pale, and stroked his beard and smiled: "The trial of the heart, face the heart, although you have not persevered, but you don't have to immerse yourself in it!"

"If the old man participates in this mental test with you, he may not do better than you!"

Xinghuozi paused and encouraged: "Don't think too much, don't be entangled, the road is always under your feet, and people always have to look forward." ”

When these more than 500 disciples heard this, they were all stunned, and then, one by one, they seemed to have realized, and they all bowed to Xinghuozi and humbly accepted the teaching.

Xinghuozi nodded slightly, turned to look at the Sun and Moon Hundred Grass Furnace behind him, looked at the one hundred and ninety-two people in the furnace realm, and congratulated: "Congratulations on entering the second round of the competition, you are the best in the mental trial, and you don't have to be entangled." ”

Xinghuozi looked kind and talked eloquently: "One day, when you let go of your obsession, at this time, all the unspeakable and frustrated things in your heart, you will laugh and say them one by one. ”

In the furnace realm, the one hundred and ninety-two disciples who had gradually calmed down stood up in unison, bowed their hands, and bowed their heads to say yes.

"Okay!" Xinghuozi squinted his eyes and said with relief: "You have half an hour, adjust your state, and after half an hour, the second round of competition will officially begin." ”

After saying that, Xinghuozi raised his hands, pinched out the magic trick, and shouted in his mouth: "He!"

Suddenly, the Sun and Moon Hundred Grass Furnace gave birth to a thousand feet of blue light, and most of the mountains and stones in the furnace realm all turned into dust in the void space, leaving only one hundred and ninety-two mountain stones scattered around with human figures standing on them.

Immediately afterward, the boundless white clouds began to swell and accumulate, and the stone mountains, along with the one hundred and ninety-two disciples on them, moved rapidly.

After a while, the white clouds and mist dissipated, and three luxurious and magnificent white jade continents formed by the clouds and stone mountains, and on each continent, there stood sixty-four disciples who were cultivating in the Qi Refining Period, the Foundation Building Period, and the Dan Formation Period.

This white jade continent at the foot of Li Nanshan is the venue for his second round of competition!

Each piece of the White Jade Continent is a huge stage, the sun and the moon hundred grass furnaces, above which three light curtains are projected, all the scenes on the three pieces of white jade continent are clear and clear at a glance, tens of thousands of disciples in the outside world, as well as hundreds of sect elders, are all audiences.

Xinghuozi looked solemn and said slowly: "The old man announced the rules of the second round of the competition, half an hour later, you will draw lots and conduct a one-on-one competition, the winner will enter the next round, and the loser will be eliminated directly, the more outstanding the personal strength, the farther you will go, until you win the championship in one fell swoop!"

"Cultivation is an opponent with too big a gap, the weak will receive the cultivation improvement temporarily given by the Sun and Moon Hundred Grass Furnace, even if it is not defeated by the opponent, this is also a good time to comprehend the realm, and some disciples who are still shallow in cultivation must grasp it well. ”

"In the end, when fighting against each other, you can go all out, don't worry about casualties, the sun and the moon have their own judgment, and at the moment of life and death, they will protect your lives!"
