After Li Mu put everything away, he calmed down. He tried to absorb the overflowing Yuan Power of Akashahara again, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't succeed.

He was not discouraged, knowing that he was afraid that with the strength of his meridians, he would no longer be able to hold more Yuan Force at the same time.

Since you can't absorb it, you don't have to force it. Li Mu stood up and prepared to dig up the firethorn grass he saw along the road.

Three hours later, Li Mu walked towards the upper reaches of the Canglan River with the wooden box on his back. Inside the wooden box, the fifty firethorn grasses needed for this mission lay silently.

After another three hours, it was getting dark. Li Mu lit a fire on the spot, caught fish, and meditated all night.

Five days later, Li Mu passed by more than ten waterfalls one after another, and finally found Baizhang Waterfall that met Jin Chong's requirements at noon on this day.

He took out the spirit stone and pressed it to his chest. After a while, Jin Chongji, who looked like a little dragon, was summoned.

After Jin Chongji appeared, he didn't say anything to him, but turned his head to look at the waterfall first.

I saw that the waterfall was as high as 100 zhang, more than 40 zhang wide, and the water was violent. Falling from the high cliffs, you can hear the thunderous sound of the white waves, and you can feel the water vapor rushing in your face for miles.

Under the waterfall, a round pool with a length and width of more than ten miles flashes with a faint blue light, I don't know how deep it is, it looks mysterious and beautiful.

Jin Chong stared at the waterfall for a while before turning his head to Li Mu and said, "Although this waterfall is small, it can barely be used to assess you." If you regret it now, you still have a chance to give up. How's it going, have you thought it through?"

Li Mu had already made up his mind, so he said without hesitation: "Senior, please tell me the way of assessment, the junior has already thought it through." ”

"You take off your clothes first," Jin Chong said lightly.

Li Mu took off all his clothes a few times, stood naked in front of Jin Chongji, and looked up at him calmly.

"Next, I'm going to block the true qi in your whole body, don't resist. Jin Chongji said to Li Mu.

Li Mu was silent, and then nodded, he still believed in his judgment.

Jin Chong, who was floating in the air, raised his right claw, and then a golden light shot out and sank into Li Mu's chest.

Li Mu immediately felt that the aura in his meridians was sealed by a layer of unknown energy, and he couldn't use it in the slightest. But that special mass of Yuan Force was lying unharmed in his meridians.

Jin Chongji pointed to the big waterfall a few miles away, and said to Li Mu: "Within one day, climb up from the place with the largest amount of water in the middle of the waterfall, and if you can reach the top, you will pass this assessment." You can rest assured, although you can't use your true qi, with the strength of your body, there should be no danger to your life, and whether you can complete the assessment depends on your willpower and understanding. ”

He paused, and said to Li Mu with a bit of reminder: "Cultivators are all acting against the sky, and they want to break through the shackles of heaven and earth on people, and they don't know how to fear heaven and earth. In fact, the more high-level cultivators are, the more they can profoundly understand the power of heaven and earth, which is far from being completely controlled by any monk, let alone against the heavens. In fact, those who cultivate the Tao are only fighting for the slightest possibility between heaven and earth, and sometimes, going against the sky is to obey the mandate of heaven. Therefore, if you are able to comprehend the 'smoothness' in the midst of 'adversity', not only will it be easy to pass this test, but it will also be of great benefit to your future spiritual path. ”

After listening carefully to the words of this big demon, Li Mu nodded thoughtfully at it, and arched his hand: "Thank you seniors for your advice, juniors will go here." ”

Jin Chongji turned into a golden light and disappeared into Li Mu's chest. Before disappearing completely, his voice came faintly: "After passing, call me out again......"

Li Mu looked at the Yuan Spirit Bead mark on his chest, which had turned red, took a deep breath, and walked towards the waterfall not far away.

He walked barefoot in the woods, but no poisonous insects, snakes and rats dared to approach him, and the whole mountain forest was quiet, which looked extremely strange.

Walking on the road, Li Mu pondered the meaning of Jin Chong's words.

Previously, he had told himself that no matter the shemales, the cultivation methods of the two races were to absorb the aura of heaven and earth and turn it into their own yuan power to use it. It's just that the demon clan directly fuses the Yuan Force with the physical body to obtain powerful power. And the human race is to store the yuan power and exert great power through spells.

In this assessment, he sealed the true qi in his body, and let himself rely only on his physical body to climb the Baizhang Waterfall against the huge water potential. He also told himself to carefully comprehend the relationship between "adversity" and "obedience", did he want to make himself forget the cultivation laws of the human race, and instead use the cultivation methods of the demon race? However, he had not learned any demon cultivation methods, so how could he integrate the Yuan power in his body into his physical body?

Li Mu pondered, but he had already arrived at the edge of the pond.

He gathered his thoughts, entered the pool, swam to the bottom of the waterfall, and looked up.

Looking at the waterfall up close, it makes a difference. The view of the waterfall from a distance is still impressive, but it is far less clear than that of those standing underneath.

In Li Mu's eyes, this waterfall poured straight down from the high cliff, and the powerful and thick water flow was like Bai Lian flying from outside day by day, and there was no end in sight. And when he fell into the pool, the splashes hit his face, so much so that he could barely open his eyes. The sound in my ears was also filled as if the sky had fallen, roaring like thunder, endlessly.

Under this powerful waterfall, he once again felt deeply of his insignificance. He suddenly thought of what Fang Cai Jin Chong had said to him. Since then, the four words "reverence for heaven and earth" have taken root in his heart and deeply influenced his lifelong practice.

Li Mu carefully searched for the part between the waterfall and the pool where the amount of water was the mildest, and he slowly swam towards that place, entering the place where the waterfall came into contact with the mountain wall.

In this waterfall, he can intuitively feel the strength of the water, and the loud sound in his ears reminds him how difficult it is to conquer this waterfall.

For some people, it is very simple to give up a thing, so simple that it only takes one turn to turn around, but for Li Mu, he is no longer qualified to give up, and there is no room to turn around.

He looked at the water of the waterfall gushing overhead, gritted his teeth, swam horizontally to the center of the waterfall, and then climbed upward.

The first time, I climbed a foot up and was swept down by the current.

The second time, the third time...... On the tenth time, he took a step forward and reached a foot and a foot.

Then there are two zhang, three zhang...... Ten Zhang...... Twenty zhang!

In three hours, he climbed the highest one, reaching twenty-one feet, but after that he could not advance even an inch. Not even twenty-one feet, he never reached it again.

Fortunately, his physical strength is amazing, and after washing the essence and marrow, he is also quite rough and thick-skinned, so he fell down again and again, got up, got up and fell again, but it didn't cause much damage to his body.

And he gradually felt that the mass of yuan power in his body seemed to be slowly spreading out under the tempering of the power of heaven and earth.

He seems to understand Jin Chongji's intentions, he has no lack of understanding, and he has no lack of willpower, and the next thing to do is to climb up again and again, and then repeat the process of being fallen.

All he needs is strong endurance, the courage to face failure, and the feeling of ignoring ** and mental exhaustion.

After thinking about the joints of the matter, the corners of Li Mu's mouth showed a fearless smile, he looked at the flowing water rushing down, his eyes showed a determined look, and he climbed away again.

Three hours later, Li Mu pressed his hands and feet tightly against the mountain wall behind the waterfall. The skin of his hands and feet had been worn out, and as soon as the blood came out, it was washed away by the river, and the broken skin showed a sickly pale.

There were also many scars around his body, and even a few big cuts on his head, but he didn't realize it, just clinging to the mountain wall, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, if someone's eyes can see him through the waterfall, they will find that his position is already in the middle of the waterfall, more than 50 zhang from the pond.

Li Mu felt the huge impact of the waterfall, and he also clearly felt that the mass of vitality in his body had completely entered his limbs and bones under the tempering impact of the water flow for such a long time. It is only one step away that he can merge into his body and become his own power.

Polishing oneself in the "adversity" and allowing oneself to reach this preliminary condition, then how to completely complete this step through "converse"?

Li Mu has never lacked understanding, otherwise, he would not have been called a prodigy since he was a child. After abandoning Confucianism and entering the Tao, he realized that the reason why he couldn't get into the Jinshi exam was entirely because Baguwen restricted his whimsical thinking, so that he couldn't obey his heart and really think well.

Therefore, after joining the Xuanming Sect, he was able to rely on his talent and hard work, and in just over a year, he had mastered the three different martial arts and cultivated them all to the Dacheng realm.

At this time, he was struggling to support himself in mid-air, trying to "reverse" the meaning of this flowing water, and did not want to be washed down by it. The Yuan Force in his body has been completely dispersed, and he finally has no "reverse" cause.

Li Mu opened his mouth and laughed, although his voice was muffled by the loud sound of water, and it seemed inaudible, but he still laughed heartily. Then, he resolutely let go of his hands and feet that were gripping the mountain wall, and fell into the deep pool of water.

The moment his body fell into the pool, the Yuan Force in his body naturally fused with his body.

In the water, the wonderful and comfortable feeling made the corners of his mouth smile again. This smile comes from the heart, and when it looks like the rippling water, it looks extremely pure, like the first smile of a newborn baby, and like the first light of the morning sun on the earth.
