"A whole, that's a pretty apt statement, so let me see what this third test will be. ”

The corners of Qiao Yuan's mouth rose slightly, and there was a look of confidence in his eyes as he spoke.

However, in the middle of the day, the third prohibition collapsed, Qiao Yuan closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, as he expected, there was still a blue wave in front of him, a vast ocean.

The three tests were all the same scene, and it was obvious that this must have a deep meaning.

Qiao Yuan glanced down at the reef under his feet, which had barely changed, and then raised his hand to wipe the cold sea water from his face, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The first time he came here, he firmly believed that this was a phantom array, so he went astray and delayed a lot of time, but in the end he still got out of the illusion.

The second time he came here, he didn't believe everything here, so he returned to reality in a short time.

There seemed to be many roads here, and each of them could break the illusion, but Qiao Yuan thought that although there were many roads, most of them were astray, and only one path was the test left to him by the spellcaster.

"Where is the real way?"

Qiao Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, except for the blue water, there was nothing else, the only difference was the reef under his feet.

Looking down, Qiao Yuan's expression was as calm as the water of an ancient well, and his eyes faintly flashed with a different kind of brilliance, looking exceptionally bright.

"Is the road under your feet? Unfortunately, this is only a wrong path that you have deliberately left behind, I have already walked twice, and I will not take it a third time. ”

With that, he pressed his right foot slightly, and then he heard a click, and the only reef in the sea immediately shattered into several pieces and sank into the deep water.

Qiao Yuan put his hands behind his back and stood quietly on the sea.

At this moment, the sea is like a giant beast of wild waves, finally falling into a deep sleep, and the sea surface is extremely calm, and there is no longer the slightest wave.

From a distance, the sea looks like a turquoise mirror, dividing the sky and the sea into two worlds.

And Qiao Yuan stood on the surface of the sea, and the shadow reflected in the sea became the only one in this world.

"Heaven and earth are empty, only I am true, originally I thought that in this illusion, only the reef is different, so it is a flaw here. ”

"Now it seems that the real flaw is not the reef, but myself, or rather, you!"

Standing quietly for a long time, Qiao Yuan seemed to have an understanding in his heart and slowly spoke.

After that, his eyes were on his own shadow in the seawater.

Silence, deathly silence, but in the midst of this silence, the shadow suddenly raised the corners of its mouth, revealing a shallow smile of appreciation.

Looking at Qiao Yuan again, he still looked calm, without any expression on his face.

"How did you find out?"

The shadow's lips moved slightly, and the voice that was exactly the same as Qiao Yuan's slowly came into his ears.

Qiao Yuan didn't show the slightest surprise on his face, and replied lightly.

"Discovered with heart. ”

"Intentions?"

The shadow didn't seem satisfied with the answer, and frowned slightly.

Qiao Yuan was silent, and remembered that Cang Tai had mentioned something before, this second level is definitely not a test of the forbidden formation attainment, but the focus is on the heart.

At the time, he still didn't seem to understand, but now he really understands the true meaning.

"Heaven and earth are virtual, only I am true, or heaven and earth are true, only I am false, true and false and virtual reality are opposite, and people and shadows are also relative to each other. ”

"This place is already opposite to my virtual reality, and the shadow of you has appeared, doesn't it mean that you and I are the same as the virtual and the real, and the opposite of the virtual reality of this heaven and earth. ”

Qiao Yuan's words settled, but the shadow was condensed, and his eyes showed surprise and admiration.

"I didn't expect you to understand the truth and falsehood to this point, yes, yes, this second level is considered to have passed. ”

"Senior, could it be that there is a third level here?"

Qiao Yuan's face did not have the slightest joy to pass the second level, his eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

The shadow suddenly stepped out from beneath the surface of the water and stood face to face with him, grinning.

"As long as you want, there can be a fourth, fifth, sixth, and hundredth levels here. ”

Qiao Yuan was already a little uncomfortable when he saw this person who was exactly the same as himself, but when he heard his words again, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Hey...... Just kidding, the third level is at the top of 900 zhang, and I'm waiting for you there. ”

The smile on Shadow's face widened, and he showed a look of encouragement, and with that, he turned into a piece of sea water and merged into the sea.

The array spirit in Qiao Yuan's imagination was very different from the shadow, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then he slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the sea disappeared in front of him.

He was still sitting cross-legged on the stone wall of the eaves, the yellow sand was long, and everything had not changed, as if everything that had just happened was false.

However, Qiao Yuan's divine sense probed out, but he could feel that the three prohibitions in front of him no longer existed at all, and there were no other prohibitions above eight hundred zhang, which could be said to be truly unimpeded.

But Qiao Yuan didn't move forward immediately, but with a thought, he summoned a Red Flame Cliff Rat and asked it to explore the path first.

Even if the spirit said that he had passed the second test, he must not take it lightly, everything must be done carefully.

After a stick of incense, the Red Flame Cliff Rat returned safely, and Qiao Yuan relaxed a little and walked forward.

But after taking two steps, he stopped again, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"No, according to the marks on the map, the perched spring vine grows on these eight hundred zhang, but now there is a yellow sand here, how can there be perched spring ivy?"

Thinking about it carefully, there seem to be only two explanations, one is that the elder of the Shengshi Shang Alliance deceived Qiao Yuan, and there is no spring ivy here, and the other is that this place was originally a dense forest, but for some reason it has become a land of yellow sand.

Both explanations are possible, and Qiao Yuan can't make a judgment, but he believes that as long as he finds that array of spirits, he will definitely find the answer.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan took another big step and walked forward.

"This kid is really cautious, but since he has climbed eight hundred zhang, there is no turning back, and let you wait for the two little ones below. ”

On the top of the Nine Hundred Feet of Ten Thousand Forbidden Peaks, there was a nine-story stone tower, and when Qiao Yuan stepped on the yellow sand, there was a whisper from the top of the stone tower.

Qiao Yuan walked on the yellow sand, and at first he felt that there was nothing abnormal, but the more he walked, his brows became tighter and tighter, and his expression gradually became difficult to see.

The eaves stone wall at 800 zhang is far from the eaves stone wall at 900 zhang, and without prohibition, Qiao Yuan can walk through it in the blink of an eye.

But now, he has walked for nearly a cup of tea in a row, and he still hasn't seen the eaves and stone walls at 900 zhang, which is absolutely strange.

And he also found himself walking for so long, it seemed that he had been going in circles all the time.

"Phantom Array? That array spirit's words are really not credible, but I tested it with the Red Flame Cliff Rat before, and obviously I didn't find anything wrong, why did I fall into the phantom array as soon as I stepped into it. ”

Qiao Yuan immediately stopped, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and his expression was quite puzzled.

I didn't expect anyone to answer this question, but I didn't expect a familiar voice to suddenly come from above the mountain.

"Hey...... , I said, as long as you want, there is the fourth, fifth, sixth, and hundredth levels. ”

"Senior, is this a new test?"

Qiao Yuan was a little helpless, and he was unlucky to encounter such an unreliable array spirit.

Who knew that his question aroused the interest of the spirit.

"If you wanted to, I wouldn't mind summoning a few sand giants to play with you. ”

After that, I saw that the wind around me was fierce, rolling up five huge yellow sand whirlpools, and in the whirlpools, huge giant heads appeared.

The giant's head was the size of a mountain, and it was hard to imagine how big its body was.

Qiao Yuan's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly looked up and shouted loudly.

"The seniors misunderstood, and the juniors didn't mean that. ”

"Hey...... Just kidding, this sand giant is not something you can deal with. ”

There was another burst of laughter from above, and the swirls of yellow sand around him slowly subsided with the words.

Everything returned to its original state, but the scene just now shocked Qiao Yuan into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, this group of spirits was joking, otherwise the five sand giants would have to blow him to the ground with a breath, and he would not be able to get up.

After thinking about it, this array of spirits had no malice except for joking, so Qiao Yuan asked out loud.

"Senior, didn't you say that the junior had already passed the second level, why did this phantom array appear now?"

"This phantom array is not just appearing now, but as soon as you step into the eight hundred zhang above, you have already entered the phantom array, but you didn't notice it. ”

But after a while, Shang Yi responded, but this response surprised Qiao Yuan a lot.

It turned out that the yellow sand he saw at the beginning was an illusion, whether he broke the three prohibitions or not, or stepped on the yellow sand, he was already in the middle of the formation.

It's just that this phantom array is too clever, and it makes Qiao Yuan and Cang Tai not even aware of it.

"I see, then the perched ivy is indeed above eight hundred zhang, but it is hidden by the phantom array, and I can't see it. ”

Qiao Yuan immediately understood this, looked up at the top, and didn't quite understand what the array spirit meant.

"Boy, you just wait here, the peak of nine hundred zhang, only one person is allowed to reach the top. ”

The spirit seemed to be able to guess his thoughts, and a burst of words came out again.

Qiao Yuan's heart froze, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Only one person is allowed to reach the top?" does that mean...... Black Sand and Warm Jade!"

Thinking of this, his face immediately showed a sudden look, it turned out that this phantom array was not deliberately trapped by him, but left for him to fight against Heisha and Wen Yu.

Qiao Yuan's fists were slowly clenched, his eyes couldn't help flashing a hint of essence, and he lowered his head to look down.

Six hundred and seventy zhang from the Ten Thousand Forbidden Peak, Heisha was sitting cross-legged under an ancient pine, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was a little pale, and he looked as if he hadn't rested for a long time.

On the other side of the mountain, six hundred and sixty zhang away, Wen Yu was walking on the cliff with a bitter face.
