Chapter 112: The Path to Heaven with a Phantom Heart
Lin Quan was divided into the eighth group, and under the leadership of the purple-clothed monk, a group of more than 700 people galloped for more than 80 miles and came to the bottom of a huge mountain. At this time, there were more than ten purple-clothed monks waiting quietly at the foot of the mountain.
When the purple-clothed monks verified their identities again, the team was able to set off again. After a while, everyone came to a platform on this huge peak.
On one side of the platform stands a huge stone stele, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with five big characters written "Phantom Heart Ascending to the Sky".
"From now on, the first round of introductory tests begins. The content of the test is precisely this 'Phantom Heart Ascending to the Heavenly Path'. After coming here, with the loud announcement of the leader monk, Lin Quan finally fully understood the content of this test.
It turns out that the content of this first round of tests is this "Phantom Heart Ascending to the Sky".
All monks who sign up to come must rely on their own strength to pass this "Illusory Heart Ascending Heavenly Path" alone within the prescribed time limit. Only those who successfully pass the test are eligible to move on to the next level. In fact, to put it bluntly, this is a test of mountaineering, the starting point is the platform with a stone monument, and the end point is naturally located at the top of this peak. Monks who are able to successfully climb to the top of the mountain within the allotted time are counted as passing this test. It's just that the process of climbing the mountain is not easy, mainly in the process of climbing, every monk has to go through a kind of "Phantom Heart Array" test unique to the "Purple Void Gate". Since there could be no more than a hundred monks entering the Phantom Array at any one time, and each test was limited to half an hour, the eighth group where Lin Quan was located had to be divided into seven times before the test could be completely completed.
The person in charge here was an impatient, and as soon as the first round of tests was announced, he immediately urged the first batch of people to officially begin. After the first hundred monks entered the "Illusory Heart Ascending Heavenly Path" with sad faces, while there was still a lot of time for the time being, the remaining monks all started to talk about each other.
"Brother Shi, this situation is not right! The news that came out of the Purple Void Gate a month ago didn't mention that he was going to break through the Illusory Heart Ascending Heavenly Road, why did he suddenly change his mind today!" a monk with gossip complained in a low voice that was very dissatisfied with this.
"Alas, don't mention it, even the younger brother didn't know about it beforehand. This is miserable, with the cultivation of the seventh layer of the junior brother's condensation qi, he has no confidence in this illusion heart to ascend to the sky! It seems that the registration fee for these ten spirit stones this year is paid in vain. A man named Brother Shi on the side had a sad expression on his face.
"Yes, yes, if we knew this was the case, we might as well go to the 'Demon Domain Floating Slaughter' to try, or go to the 'Qingyuan Gate' in the Great Wu Kingdom to try our luck. I heard that five years ago, the entrance test of the four major schools of the Great Wu Kingdom was relatively simple. "After someone stirred up a resonant topic, the rest of the monks also got together to talk about it, and it generally seemed that these people were all low in cultivation and had no confidence in this 'Illusory Heart Ascending Heavenly Path'.
"Alas, it seems that the high-level officials of the Purple Void Gate still feel that the number of people who came to sign up this time is too much, so they want to use this phantom array to kill a large number of places again. ”
"That's right, it's really pitiful that it's not easy for us to earn some spirit stones by cultivating freely......"
At the beginning, Lin Quan was quite interested in listening to what these loose cultivators from Tiannan and Haibei were talking about. However, when he heard that these scattered cultivators were just complaining and sighing to himself, he immediately shook his head with disdain. If they all report this mentality, it will be impossible for these people to break through this "Illusory Heart Ascending Heaven Road", and even if a miracle occurs for them to pass this level, according to their minds, the road of cultivating immortals in the future will never last long.
Just when Lin Quan wanted to withdraw his spiritual sense and stop listening to these boring conversations, a word suddenly caught his attention.
"Actually, this Phantom Heart Ascending to Heaven is not as difficult as the legend says, to put it bluntly, it is actually a slightly more powerful Phantom Array. I think as long as we are firm in our hearts and not be confused by external objects, we still have a good chance of getting through. At least ten years ago, when the mountain gate was opened, Weng was one of the people who successfully broke through this illusory heart to the sky. A middle-aged man with gray hair smiled smugly, as if he didn't have the slightest pressure on the phantom array.
"This Weng Daoyou is really insightful, and I admire it very much. I wonder if Weng Daoyou can tell us all about this Phantom Heart Ascending Heaven Road in detail?" Sure enough, after hearing these inspiring words, several monks nearby also turned around with a look of surprise and surrounded the gray-haired monk surnamed Weng, hoping to find some useful news.
"Yes, Weng Daoyou, if you have any tricks, just tell us quickly, everyone will be grateful for your ......"
"Well said, well said. Weng heard that the Phantom Heart Ascending Heaven Road was actually a phantom array used by the Purple Void Gate to hone the minds of the low-level disciples in the sect. So I thought about whether it was difficult to say that this phantom array was difficult, and it was not easy to say that it was not easy. Weng someone doesn't have any tricks, if you really want to say something, you must have confidence in yourself, and don't be confused by external things. I think that the contemptible people back then were also because of their strong temperament, so they couldn't bear to recognize a direction and persevered to the end, and finally broke through. The monk surnamed Weng did not hide this, and told everything he knew in one breath. However, for those who are a little cautious, the method of this person is simply the same as not saying it.
"I see, thank you for your righteousness. After listening to the trick of the monk surnamed Weng, many people also retreated with dejected expressions. This kind of thing is easier said than done, and not everyone can be so determined.
However, Lin Quan nodded secretly after hearing this, and the fear of the "Phantom Heart Ascending to the Sky" in his heart was also slightly reduced. If it's just a phantom array, then there's nothing to worry about, at most, it's just a little more time. Since even that Weng Dao could pass ten years ago, Lin Quan didn't believe that with his ability, he would not be able to match that Weng Daoyou and the low-level disciples in the Purple Void Sect.
Time passed quickly, and as groups of monks entered the Illusory Heart Ascending Heaven Path, it was finally Lin Quan's turn after two hours.
After instructing everyone to tie the jade talisman around their waists and stimulate it with a small amount of spiritual power, the purple monk who led the team once again took the trouble to solemnly say: "Finally, repeat Uncle Leng's words again, if anyone can't hold on in the phantom array, be sure to crush the jade talisman on their waist immediately." Only under the dual guidance of the magic circle and the jade talisman will this sect immediately rescue you. If anyone is forced to break the foundation, no one will be able to save you. ”
After seeing that everyone had no disagreement, the leading monk waved his hand and asked Lin Quan and the others to immediately test it.
The entrance to the "Phantom Heart Ascending Heaven Road" is a mountain road hidden in a thick white mist. When the monks in front of him entered one by one, Lin Quan no longer hesitated and strode in.
As soon as he entered the magic circle, Lin Quan felt dizzy for a while, as if his whole person had entered another dimension. Fortunately, his spiritual sense is stronger than that of people of the same level, and he does not know himself, and after a little adaptation, he completely sobered up. However, when he came back to his senses, he realized that all the people who had been walking in front of him had disappeared, and there was only a rugged and winding stone staircase that jutted into the clouds in the distance, and he couldn't see how long the road was. Moreover, both sides of the stone steps and behind them are full of white clouds, and it seems that there is an abyss below, and if you accidentally fall into it, you will never recover.
