Chapter 6: The Illusion of Trials
In the abbot's quiet room, Master Yuanjue looked at Zhou Yang's back and silently chewed on what his proud disciple had said.
He suddenly remembered that this young man had said that in his previous life, he had died with dozens of masters somewhere, and he couldn't help but think of a legend from 2,800 years ago, and the plot was so similar to this.
In the first Divine Realm Ascension Qualifying Tournament held 2,800 years ago, the masters of the four clans of ghosts, demons, demons, and beasts actually joined forces to plot in order to prevent the Immortal Clan's Riyao Immortal Venerable from winning the championship.
"Could it be that my wise and benevolent disciple's previous life turned out to be the legendary Sunyao Immortal Venerable, a monster that made all the masters of the Six Clans look at it?"
Thinking of this, he almost couldn't help but be full of enthusiasm: "If that's the case, when he gets the fateful pass, if he returns to the peak combat power of the past, it will be ......."
Master Yuanjue was excited, as if he saw the hope of the rise of mankind.
That night, Zhou Yang immediately practiced the meditation technique he had just learned, and after spending half the night, he was already extremely proficient, the spiritual platform was extremely clear, and his state of mind was also a lot more stable, and he soon reached a state of meditation.
This time, his divine consciousness still shuttled to the same space as yesterday, and the same thing happened, but when his divine consciousness returned to his physical body, his head was no longer as strong as it was yesterday.
And the scene is getting clearer and clearer, and the dialogue of the characters is faintly clear, especially for the murderous aura revealed by the blood-red sword in his hand, the sound of the sword entering the flesh, and the pain caused by the self-explosion.
But it lasted for more than ten days, and the memory of the so-called previous life was just that, and he didn't even have any impression of the moves and techniques used in that battle, he only felt extremely profound, fortunately with the support of the "Six-Character Great Ming Mantra", otherwise he would definitely not be able to bear the pain that became clearer and clearer.
Three days later, when Master Yuanjue learned from Zhihai that the proud disciple had practiced the "Meditation Technique" so easily to the state of consummation, he couldn't help but be amazed.
"It's time for the time, good man, I hope you don't live up to the expectations of being a teacher, this is a major matter related to the rise of all my human race. Although Master Yuanjue couldn't bear to endure the life and death of this immature young man, for the benefit of the human population and Zhou Yang's growth, he had no choice but to be ruthless and implement the next plan.
As soon as his body moved, he came directly to Zhou Yang's meditation room.
Zhou Yang was sitting in the meditation room and practicing hard, and he didn't know anything about the arrival of Master Yuanjue.
Master Yuanjue looked at Zhou Yang with a smile and did not disturb.
It wasn't until three hours later, when Zhou Yang slowly finished his work, that he suddenly found that Master Yuanjue was standing beside him, smiling silently.
Zhou Yang was taken aback, hurriedly bowed down, and said respectfully: "The disciple is delayed in practicing, and he doesn't know that the master is coming, and he is not welcome, please forgive the master." ”
"Hehe, it's okay, the teacher came to you this time, and there is something important to arrange. Master Yuanjue waved his hand to signal Zhou Yang to get up and speak, and said with a smile.
Zhou Yang stood solemnly with his hands lowered and asked respectfully, "I don't know what the teacher commands?"
Master Yuanjue said with a straight face: "Zhishan disciple, you should know that as we human beings, our lifespan is generally less than a hundred years old. Although in the Six Realms, our population is second only to the Beast Race, and only in this Great Brahma Realm, we already have tens of billions of people, but we still have a fatal weakness. ”
Zhou Yang sighed slightly, he didn't know that because of the limitation of spiritual roots and lifespan, most human beings would not be able to step into the foundation building stage in their lifetime. Only some humans with excellent qualifications and talents can break through the innate limit and become true cultivators, but these people are only one thousandth of the number of human races.
And a cultivator like Zhou Yang who has the hope of breaking through before the age of twenty is only one in ten thousand in the entire group of cultivators, that is to say, the human beings in the entire Great Brahma Realm can break through to the foundation building stage before the age of twenty, and there are only about a thousand people, even if the immortal cultivators of all eras are combined, this number is only tens of thousands.
Therefore, although the human race is huge, the number of cultivators in the Six Realms is also the smallest, so the overall strength is the weakest of the six races. The only advantage that human beings have over the other five races is that the talent and qualifications of cultivators are generally higher than those of the other five races, and they can cultivate dozens of Tribulation Stage masters in three thousand years, which is even comparable to the largest beast race in the Six Realms.
Master Yuanjue paused for a moment and continued: "Good apprentice, your qualifications and talents are extremely high, and you are proud of them in the entire Six Realms, but you must keep in mind that the road to cultivation is long and indefinite, not only do you need to endure loneliness, but there are also various cultivation methods, although Qi refining and penance cultivation are important, but if you want to break through to a new realm, you must have enough opportunities and understanding. ”
Zhou Yang said blankly: "Please make it clear to the master." ”
"The most important thing in cultivation is to realize, whether it is refining qi or meditating, it is all for the purpose of understanding the natural avenue, but where the avenue is, it is in nature, not in the meditation room. Therefore, in order to realize the Great Dao, we must go to the natural world for training, accumulate in the experience, and realize in the battle, only in this way can we break through the bottleneck and successfully build the foundation. ”
Zhou Yang muttered: "Accumulate in the experience and realize in the battle." ”
"Before the disciples of each faction officially build the foundation, each sect has set up a master trial task, and only the disciples who pass the task assessment are eligible to accept the inheritance of the foundation building period, and it is also evaluated according to the performance of the disciples in the performance of the task, so as to point out a direction conducive to their better development. ”
"I don't know what kind of trial mission my Changmen Temple is, but the disciple is willing to accept the test. Zhou Yang's eyes were full of anticipation, and he looked eager to try.
"I have a general experience task and an elite experience task here, I don't know which one you choose?"
"Ask the master to make it clear. ”
"The ordinary experience task is relatively simple, you only need to kill any one of the cultivators in the foundation building stage of the four clans of demons, demons, ghosts, and beasts within half a year, of course, my human race and the immortal clan do not count, because my human race prohibits private fighting and cannibalism, as long as anyone violates the ban, they will be executed immediately, however, those who are evil can naturally be killed without punishment, but they are just not counted as completing the task. The Immortals are the loyal allies of humanity, so the slaughter of them is absolutely forbidden. ”
"Ah, it turns out that we humans still have a powerful immortal clan as an ally, which is great. After Zhou Yang heard about it, he couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Hehe, the teacher is talking about the immortal clan, not the immortal clan. Although the immortal clan has the support of the immortal world behind it, and they are all the reincarnations of a large number of immortal masters who unfortunately fell two thousand eight hundred years ago, with the continuous awakening of memory, they have also mastered some immortal spells, but because the number is too small, the development stamina is seriously insufficient, and they are constantly threatened by the demons, demons, and ghosts, for the sake of self-preservation, they have formed an alliance with humans. ”
"What happened 2,800 years ago? Even the masters of the Immortal Realm have fallen in large numbers, this is also too shocking. After listening to Master Yuanjue's words, Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Master Yuanjue sighed lightly and said, "You will know about this matter slowly in the future, let's talk about the master's trial task." Those who have passed the ordinary master's training task can obtain an "ordinary disciple" token, with which you can exchange for a set of equipment of mortal weapons in any sect of our human race, or read the ordinary combat secret method, and the deadline is ten days. ”
"Oh, and there are additional rewards, isn't the reward for the elite mission even more tempting?" Zhou Yang asked excitedly.
Master Yuanjue smiled slightly: "The elite task is much more arduous, you need to collect a thousand-year-old snow lotus, a Xuanyu ice crystal, and a purple cloud essence iron, these three materials are the main materials for refining the Continuation Pulse Pill, creating the Xuanyu Plate, the low-grade magic weapon of the magic weapon, and the high-grade armor of the refining magic weapon, because the task is very arduous, the real-time limit is relatively longer, and it only takes two years to complete it to pass the level." ”
Zhou Yang was stunned when he heard it. Continuation Pulse Pill, this is the top healing elixir of Changmen Temple, and even the entire human race, no matter how seriously injured, as long as you take one, you can be cured immediately. But because the main material, the thousand-year-old snow lotus, is extremely rare, and it only blooms once in a thousand years, its value can even be compared with ordinary immortal weapons.
The other two things are also extremely cherished things, such as the Purple Cloud Essence Iron, which is even rarer than the thousand-year-old snow lotus, and no one has ever heard of this treasure in the past two thousand years.
Seeing the shock on Zhou Yang's face, Master Yuanjue continued to explain with a smile: "Of course, if you collect any of them, you can also hand them in in the end, but they can only be counted as ordinary trial passes, and if you can't hand in the same material within two years, then it can only be counted as a failure in the trial task, and you need to reclaim it after three years." ”
"If the elite trial task is passed, is there a more attractive reward?" Zhou Yang hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Naturally, you can get an elite disciple token, with which you can go to any sect of our human race to exchange for a set of equipment of the highest quality mortal weapons, or read the elite combat secret method, and the deadline is one month. However, among my human beings, there are very few cultivators who have completed the elite trial tasks of the master, and in the past 2,800 years, there are only eight people. ”
"Eight, could it be the current Eight Masters of the Terrans?"
"Exactly. ”
Zhou Yang's heart burned with fiery desire, bowed down, and said firmly: "Teacher, the disciple is willing to accept the elite trial task. ”
"Hehe, the old man really didn't see the wrong person. Good boy, this trip is extremely dangerous, and even life-threatening, you must have a strong character and strong will, and you will not stop until you achieve your goal. But you have to remember that even if you can't finish it, it's not a shame, and saving your life is the most important thing. ”
"Yes, the disciple must remember the teacher's instructions. ”
"Hehe, in order to hone the Dao heart of the disciples in the door, my Changmen Temple has specially set up a trial phantom array in the Three Treasures Hall, and only those who break the formation are allowed to go down the mountain, although you are my personal disciple, you can't break the rules. ”
"Yes, the disciple is willing to accept the trial. Zhou Yang's eyes were hot, and he bowed down and said.
"You go down first and get ready, and wait for me in the main hall at midnight in three days. ”
"The disciple obeyed. Zhou Yang knew that the master was about to leave, so he hurriedly bowed down.
Master Yuanjue smiled, and then disappeared.
