Chapter 1125 Nine Tests
This Lianxin Lane is not only a test of the qualifications of the Holy Son, but also a process of refining the mind. It is extremely helpful for the cultivator's state of mind. If you can pass it, your state of mind will definitely be sublimated. However, because it is difficult to exit, it will leave traces on your state of mind invisibly, affecting your future cultivation.
In this way, this Lianxin Lane is actually a great opportunity to improve your state of mind. Others can't even ask for it, so it's a pity to give it up. In fact, before the formation of the pill, Qingyang's state of mind was still a little behind because his cultivation level was improving too fast. This was one of the reasons why he failed to succeed in his first attempt at forming the pill. Later, he wandered in the mortal world for a year and experienced many blows. His state of mind was no longer a shortcoming. With the help of Yu Mengmiao's wedding dress pill and his cultivation, Qingyang's becoming a Jindan cultivator was a matter of course.
Now Qingyang's state of mind is not a problem, but the improvement of the state of mind is endless. No one will complain about too many opportunities for training, so naturally it can't be wasted. He can even take this opportunity to test the effect of the improvement of his state of mind in the past two years.
Thinking of this, Qingyang immediately gave up the idea of retreating. Suddenly, he was shocked and continued to walk forward. After this incident, the surrounding Yin wind and earth fire seemed to be much gentler, no longer as arrogant as before. If he was a little careful, he should be able to bear it.
The Yin wind and earth fire looked powerful, but they were actually illusions from the Refining Heart Lane. Although they felt like the real thing, they would not have much impact on the body of the cultivator. If the cultivator could not bear it, it might leave a trauma on his state of mind, and even die from the torment in severe cases. If he could bear it, it would be a deep experience for his state of mind.
Qingyang has practiced for many years, and because of the experience in recent years, he has long been determined. Once he has made up his mind, no external things can affect him, and no difficulties or obstacles can defeat him.
The Refining Heart Lane with Yin wind and earth fire seems particularly long. Qingyang is determined and keeps moving forward. Gradually, his body becomes numb, and he even forgets the passage of time. It's just that there is a goal in his heart that supports him, and he must persist to the end.
After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding gloomy wind and extreme fire gradually weakened, and Qingyang's functions gradually recovered. Qingyang could feel that this part of the test was about to end.
As expected, he walked forward for another dozen feet, and his eyes were blurred. The surrounding caves disappeared, and the front of Qingyang turned into a swamp. At the same time, a heavy pressure suddenly appeared on his head, as if the suction force of the underground of the Fallen Ghost Abyss was magnified countless times, pressing on Qingyang.
Qingyang felt like he was carrying a mountain on his head and shoulders, and his whole body was creaking. The huge force exerted on Qingyang made him bend over, arch his back, and his legs became weak. If he was not careful, he might be pressed to the ground. His feet also sank deeply into the swamp because they could not withstand the huge pressure, and he could hardly lift his feet.
Qingyang looked up. The ground under his feet was relatively solid. The further he went, the muddier it became. The swamp behind him was almost made up of mud and water. Not to mention that Qingyang was under heavy pressure now, even if he was relaxed, it would not be easy to cross the swamp.
With heavy pressure on him, almost all means were useless. The only way to cross the swamp was to bite the bullet and continue to move forward, wading through it with his own legs. But looking at the current situation, he was afraid that he would be submerged in the swamp soon. By then, let alone crossing it, it was hard to say whether he could come back alive. What should he do? Should he just give up?
It was impossible to give up. Not to mention such a good opportunity to train his mind, the face of the Jindan cultivator alone would not allow him to retreat at this time, because he could not afford to lose that person, so Qingyang took a deep breath, held it in his chest and abdomen, and continued to move forward.
Then there was another experience that was even more difficult than the previous Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave. Fortunately, Qingyang was determined and used his own methods to finally persevere. After a long time, the swamp gradually disappeared, and the pressure on Qingyang gradually eased. At this time, Qingyang was sore all over, covered with mud, and his waist was hunched. Except for his two eyes, he could no longer see his human form.
After finally crossing the swamp, Qingyang thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Who knew that this swamp was not the last test of Lianxin Lane. There are many similar situations later, such as the vast ice field that almost freezes the blood and true essence in the human body, such as countless Jindan monks fighting in the ancient battlefield where there is always a worry about life. They all need to find ways to pass through one by one. Qingyang doesn't know what scenes others are facing, anyway, he suffered a lot this time.
In this Lianxin Lane, Qingyang went through a total of nine tests, and no more illusionary scenes appeared later. Qingyang looked up and saw that it was still the passage when he first came in. The surrounding walls were full of various Taoist formations, which looked a little mysterious.
The light in front is obviously stronger, which means the exit is not far away. There are nine consecutive tests, each one more difficult than the last. After going through all of them, Qingyang felt like he had spent several decades. But in fact, only ten hours had passed. There are still two hours left before the deadline mentioned by Master Sitian. This is the case for Qingyang who has the Jindan cultivation level, not to mention those quasi-saints who are only at the Qi training stage. From this point of view, the one day given by Master Wuliang is not enough.
It was still early before the deadline, so Qingyang was not in a hurry to go out. He had just gone through many tests in Lianxin Lane, and now he was extremely exhausted. It would be best to adjust his breath first and wait until he recovered a little before going out. Then Qingyang sat on the ground against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
As long as the other quasi-saints passed the test, they would walk out of Lianxin Lane as soon as possible. As long as they could move, they would crawl out first. On the one hand, it was because the shadow left by Lianxin Lane on their minds was too big, and they didn't want to stay here for a moment. On the other hand, it was to compete for ranking. Although Master Sitian didn't say whether those who passed first would have an advantage, and whether Wuliang Saint Venerable would choose the saints according to the order of going out, going out earlier would leave a good impression. There was no one like Qingyang who didn't take the final selection of the saints to heart.
During the time when Qingyang was resting, four quasi-saints passed by him, but they were all from other immortal cities and didn't know Qingyang. Although they all noticed this weirdo resting against the wall, no one cared. It was better not to go out, and there would be one less competitor.
