Chapter Ninety-Seven: Xiang Dao
Time passed, and it was late at night in the blink of an eye.
Today's first level test is nothing more than everyone's basic information and the like, but Qi Tian felt a lot of emotion when he thought of the person who was thrown to the ground and the black and thin boy called the little monkey.
A round of selection of bloodlines, an assessment that didn't even count the entry of cultivating immortals had eliminated the vast majority of all living beings, and also lifted one or two people to the sky.
The long night was long, and in order to better repair the body, Qi Tian went to bed early.
As soon as the sky was bright, the teenagers of the third and fourth bloodlines who had passed the first level had already stood in the open space in front of the house, and stood in the order in which they came.
"The road of cultivation has always been arduous, and it is not necessarily possible to go far only by relying on innate conditions," a purple-robed monk stood in front of many blue-robed monks, his eyes were like lightning, his expression was indifferent, and he looked like he was twenty years old, with a proud expression, "What is more important is perseverance! It is not that the fifth-class bloodline will definitely be able to open the divine palace and build the five mansions, and there are countless examples of monks of the third-class bloodline becoming powerful people in ancient times." ”
Qi Tian's face was silent, but in his heart, he had a guess about the vibration caused by this fifth-class bloodline in the sect, it seemed that even if the little monkey got a good master, he must have been hostile to many people. The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.
"There are three words for cultivation, one is for cultivating the truth, two for cultivating, and three for cultivating immortals. The purple-robed monk was not in a hurry to test the matter, but talked about the monk, although his eyes were unruly, but he could also see his yearning for that realm, "Cultivating the truth, cultivating is the qi of one's own divine palace, that is, what we know now is to open the divine palace, to the sea of gods, and to reach the other side, and the period of the five mansions, what is said is also the ranks of cultivation, but it is to prepare for further cultivation." ”
The purple-robed monk paused when he said this, hiding the melancholy in his eyes, "My entire sect cultivator has not taken this step now, and you don't need to be ambitious. ”
Everyone below looked at each other, and they seemed to be able to see that glint of excitement in each other's eyes.
"The monk's life is full of hardships. The purple-robed monk seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to warn everyone, "Even if there is a sect to help, it is inevitable that you will fall at a young age." You will experience this in the future. Now you have the option to return to the world. ”
After saying this, the purple-robed monk looked around at everyone, and when he saw that none of them chose to leave, his heart immediately turned into disappointment, and he sighed, "That's it, since you have made a choice, even if you don't pass this test, you will break off your fate with the world." ”
"Let's go!" The purple-robed monk grabbed from his waist, took out a small golden gourd the size of a palm, and threw the gourd into the air, instantly growing larger, "Why don't you come up quickly?"
As soon as Qi Tian stepped on the gourd, he was surrounded by a black mist, and it was pitch black in front of him.
"Don't act rashly! The place where I took you this time is the forbidden place of the sect, so you can't check it! You can't leave a mark along the way! Do you hear it?" A voice different from that of a purple-robed monk echoed all around, and suddenly fell silent.
Qi Tian sat down cross-legged, and the treasure gourd did not have a curvature as it seemed, but as if he was sitting on a flat ground, but he didn't know how to use the magic weapon in physical cultivation.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the flight, the purple-robed monk's chariot came to rest in a valley. The blue-robed inner disciples watched the crowd in the black smoke, and then nodded to each other, and one of them held a burst of flags with tacit understanding, and operated mana!
The people in the black smoke didn't notice it at all, and even the black smoke around them rose into the air, and in a flash, it appeared in the cave that the purple-robed man had just opened with a secret technique.
"The teleportation array has been activated, you guys are waiting here!"
"Yes!" The inner disciples cooperated with each other, and directly put Qi Tian's group of more than sixty people on top of the teleportation formation.
The purple-robed man activated the teleportation array, and the white light flashed, and even the people with black smoke and the people who participated in the test disappeared.
Qi Tian only felt a pain in his forehead, and the surroundings turned from pitch black to extremely dazzling, but when he opened his eyes and took a closer look, where did the dazzling light come from?
In the distance, there are lofty mountains and mountains, and a black chain looms between the undulations of the clouds and mist, leading straight to the feet?
Only then did Qi Tian see that he had stood on a cliff at some point, and he was empty all around, as if he was alone.
Behind the cliff is a cliff, and in front of it there is an iron cable the thickness of an adult's thigh, the iron cable is rusty, it looks like it has been some years, and the other end of the iron cable is not visible.
Just as Qi Tian hesitated, a piece of jade came to him, and the purple-robed monk's voice sounded at the same time.
"Stepping on the ferrata and walking along the ferrata is the second level. The second level is a test of your will, and a test of your heart to the Tao! Under the iron rope is a cliff, and even I can't save you if you fall. When you want to give up, pinch the jade slip first, and I will bring you out from the iron rope. This level of testing will only give you five days, and once the five days have passed, the distance you have walked out will be your achievements! It will determine whether your position in the sect is an outer disciple, an inner disciple, or even a personal disciple!"
As soon as the voice stopped, the jade slip automatically fell into his hand.
Qi Tian looked at the cliff under his feet, and then at the swaying iron cable, took a deep breath, and sat down on the edge of the cliff.
"The heart of the Dao, the firmness of the will?" Qi Tian crossed his knees and watched the sun struggle in the morning mist.
Now that he has been cultivating for more than ten years, Qi Tian is no longer the boy of the earth, he has seen a different mountain from the past, and heard someone say, "One day, when my vision is broad enough, I will find that the sea I once saw is just a lake, and the river I once saw is just a trickle."
Qi Tian watched with wide eyes as the sun broke through the morning mist, jumped out of the mountain peak, and leaped into the sky!
"Why do I cultivate?" Qi Tian muttered and stood up, stepping on the iron cable, step by step, step by step, Qi Tian did not look down, he seemed to know where the iron rope was, knew where he was going, "I used to think that my life is my life, because everyone lives like that." Later, with Pang Bo and Yan An, there was this different world. ”
But then I realized that not all life is called life. Because I was ignorant, I stopped at living in the hearts of the people around me. Qi Tian raised his head and looked at the fiery red sun through the mist, "Until someone tells me that there is another way to live! Until someone tells me the vastness of this world! Will there be a day when I will know that there is another world beyond this world, and where do I come from, where am I going?"
The blazing flame in Qi Tian's eyes was a clear goal, and he was no longer confused!"It's not this mist that obscures the sun!It's that this mist obscures my eyes! I'm not just living for Yan An, it's for my own wishes!"
"Haha......" Qi Tian smiled heartily, "It's a pity that the sun is always there, and the mountains and rivers are immortal for thousands of years! But the face is easy to grow old, and the personnel are easy to divide, even if one person dominates the world, what's the fun? No matter where I come from or where I go, it's not alive! This process is called living!"
Qi Tian shook his head and smiled lightly, and walked more firmly towards the iron rope, "I want to find my brother, I want the past to be just a point in time and space, I want everything to be reversed!"
Qi Tian's gaze no longer fell on the end of the iron cable in the distance, but stood under his feet, and walked forward firmly step by step with the ups and downs of the iron cable.
Sunrise and sunset, three days pass in a blink of an eye. There are still two days left before the five-day time given for the sect test.
Qi Tian was sitting on the iron rope at the moment, holding his cheek with one hand, looking at the mist that had been covered by rolling clouds for three consecutive days.
In fact, Qi Tian had stopped walking for two days. There seems to be no end to this iron cable, and every time it falls, it makes people feel like they are closer to the end, but after each foot, there is a vast white mist in all directions, and it is still the mountain that cannot be seen through from afar.
After sitting quietly for a day, the chill of the iron cable climbed up along the place where it came into contact with Qi Tian.
I haven't eaten for three days, Qi Tian's injured body is slightly tired, in this cold and desperate place, it is not easy to persist in such an environment until now, this trace of coolness Qi Tian has not yet noticed, and now sitting quietly for a day, this chill accumulates, and he can't help but shudder.
Qi Tian looked at the jade slip in his hand and stood up. The scenes when the purple-robed monk spoke before made him deeply understand the dangers of "Mu Xiu Yu Lin".
The only trace of spiritual power in Qi Tian's body was working, and he was about to get rid of the cold, and he glanced down at the gray robe that there was a little frost on the gray robe, at first glance, this frost looked like an ice crystal hanging on a general winter tree, but Qi Tian obviously felt that there was something different.
The ice crystals seemed to be the thickness of a hair, shining with a little essence, and Qi Tianben didn't notice it at all just now! It was so small that it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice!
Qi Tian's eyes glared suddenly, as if he had discovered something incredible, the Taixuan Sutra slowly moved his whole body! I saw that the crystalline particles lit up instantly, and immediately melted away. It's just that at this moment, a faint trace of aura appeared from the place where the crystalline particles melted, and was absorbed by Qi Tian.
"What is this?" Qi Tian pinched the ice crystals in his hand, his eyes were not without shock, "The aura is solidified! This is the crystal of the aura! There must be a very pure and large amount of aura here! Then there must be a spiritual vein!"
"But that's not right!" Qi Tian held the crystal in his hand, "Only when several giant spiritual veins come together will this kind of spiritual energy crystal be formed at a specific opportunity." Although I said that my cultivation was only in the foundation building period now, my soul was not so badly damaged for some reason. I also put a lot of effort into finding a place with abundant spiritual energy!"
"Besides, if there really is such a holy place, how can those great sects let it go?" Qi Tian forcefully crushed the crystalline particles in his hand, and the aura spread out like dust and merged into his palm, "It won't be wrong! This is indeed the result of a strong and solidified aura! How could such a place belong to a sect that cultivates the body?"
Qi Tian pondered, and a faint green light flashed in his eyes, "Unless, this is a place that has not been known to the outside world - Cave Heaven Blessed Land!"
