Zhenyuan Zhenren's form and spirit are as illusory, and he stands as ethereal. He is not angry and has authority.
Anyone who can serve as a temple examiner must be a temple boss.
Everyone stood up one after another, in awe.
Master Zhenyuan glanced at it and smiled slightly: "It's very good. Being able to pass the various assessments and trials in the temple proves that everyone present is an outstanding warrior."
Everyone felt proud and honored to be praised by the temple boss.
"Perhaps you are very confused. Even though you have already passed the examination, why have you not truly stood on the most dazzling stage of the Dao Enlightenment Ceremony?" Zhen Yuan said.
Yes, they are also confused in their hearts.
"What do you think is the significance of the Dao Enlightenment Ceremony?"
"It's about fighting for the glory of our master!"
Lu Gong said clearly to prove his sense of existence.
"It's Mr. Lu!"
"Isn't Mr. Lu eliminated?"
"Not only Mr. Lu, but also many people who were eliminated are here. It seems that the temple has other plans."
Everyone was confused, but Lu Gongming did successfully regain his sense of existence.
"The glory of the master? Well, yes, it is very real!" Zhenyuan Zhenyuan said in a deep voice: "But have you ever thought about it, when you went through many cruel tests in the temple, and even went through fighting and life and death! Now when you are standing alive,
While you were here, have you ever thought about how much you have grown and how much you have gained?"
Growth? Enlightenment?
Everyone was thoughtful and recalled that everything they had experienced was indeed different from before.
"I believe you all have different feelings." Master Zhenyuan said sternly: "Proving the Way? What is Proving the Way? It is not for fame and fortune, but for experience and growth, and to have a deeper understanding of martial arts.
With understanding, we are not simply pursuing the improvement of martial arts cultivation, nor are we fighting without breaking hands, nor are we superficially competing for fame and fortune!"
"Fighting and fame and fortune are just the most vulgar martial arts in the temple!"
"Of course, I am not belittling the Nine Sects! But I hope that when you accept the last test, you can understand in your hearts what is the meaning of participating in the grand event of enlightenment?"
Master Zhenyuan's tone was solemn, but like a bell, it shook everyone's minds.
yes!
What is the significance of their participation in the sermon ceremony?
Is it for the glory of the school? Or for personal fame and fortune?
Just as Zhenyuan Zhenren said, their so-called fighting and fighting in the temple are just the most vulgar martial arts.
There is heaven outside the sky, and there is heaven outside people.
Regarding this point, Lin Chen, who has opened up a new world view, has a deeper understanding than ordinary people.
A grand meeting for enlightenment, what is enlightenment?
It’s about experience, growth, and understanding.
We should not be obsessed with mere fame and fortune, but have a higher understanding and understanding of martial arts.
Lin Chen was clearly qualified to make an exception and be promoted to a disciple of the temple. The reason why he stayed and continued to participate in the enlightenment event was not just for the glory of his master.
But I want to be down-to-earth, step by step, experience growth, and understand martial arts.
When you look back, you will find that every step you take is experiencing growth and sharpening your will.
Ranking and utility are not the most important, but how much can you grow? How much can you gain?
"Enlightenment lies in the individual, I won't say anything more." Master Zhenyuan raised his hand and cleared away the heavy fog. A suspended iron chain emerged in the heavy fog, and the end point could not be seen clearly.
Unable to help, Master Zhenyuan explained: "This is the Heart Crossing Chain, and it is also to test your will! The Heart Crossing Chain is about refining the heart, not the distance! It may be one step away, or it may be endless. Can you prove it?
Daodu Island all depends on your determination and understanding! Of course, if you make a mistake in the Crossing Heart Chain, it means you will be eliminated."
Heart-crossing chain?
It feels quite challenging and everyone is eager to try it.
"It's a bit interesting, but it shouldn't be difficult for me." Lin Chen smiled faintly, his heart still watering.
Ever since he had comprehended thousands of Taoist books and understood the Taoist heart for the first time, Lin Chen's state of mind almost wanted to transform from the ordinary world into Taoism. His heart was like a rock, impervious to all evil.
"I believe you all understand the rules, right?" Master Zhenyuan said: "There is no distinction between the front and rear when crossing the island, and it does not affect each other, so there is no need for you to rush first!"
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. Then I will come forward!" Lu Gongming, as light as a swallow, jumped onto the heart-crossing chain.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the mist.
The heart-crossing chain is about testing the mind, so everyone's experience of standing on the heart-crossing chain is completely different, and there will naturally be no mutual interference between them.
With Lu Gongming taking the lead, everyone kept their minds steady and stepped into the Heart Crossing Chain in sequence.
The result is the same, as soon as you step on the Heart Crossing Chain, you will immediately disappear into the mist.
Lin Chen looked calm and unhurried.
Suddenly, Jian Rushi noticed Lin Chen's presence and was greatly surprised.
"Jianchen!"
Jian Rushi came straight towards him, surprised and stunned.
"Hello, senior sister." Lin Chen greeted with a smile on his face.
"Jianchen, haven't you already..."
"Thanks to the blessing of my master, I was lucky enough to survive the tribulation and pass the customs."
"Yeah?"
Jian Rushi's eyes were solid and full of suspicion: "You guy, why do I feel like you have so many secrets in you?"
"While the assessment is taking place, no private communication is allowed!" Master Zhenyuan suddenly reminded.
Hearing the sound, Jian Rushi was so frightened that he stepped back. Before leaving, he glared at Lin Chen: "Jian Chen! After landing on the island, I will definitely ask you to find out!"
"Okay, thank you for your concern, senior sister." Lin Chen smiled awkwardly.
As the grand ceremony of enlightenment began, Lin Chen's identity could no longer be hidden.
However, Lin Chen already has higher pursuits, and there is really no need to hide the identity that he has suppressed for so long.
Because maybe after the grand ceremony of enlightenment, Lin Chen will have to study in the temple.
Although Lin Chen downplayed fame, he was still attached to the Sword Master's sect. Before choosing to study in the temple, Lin Chen also wanted to leave an honor to his sect in a glorious way.
Yunyue didn't take the initiative to get close to Lin Chen, but her eyes stayed on Lin Chen: "He is no longer hiding his identity. It seems that he has made a choice, and the feeling with him is becoming more and more unfamiliar."
This sense of strangeness will become deeper with the gap between the two.
"Even if I can't follow his footsteps, I don't want to get further and further away from him!" Yunyue vowed secretly, then put aside distracting thoughts, followed the disciples of each sect, and jumped into the Heart Crossing Chain.
Until, in the end, only Lin Chen was left.
Zhenyuan Zhenyuan smiled with great interest: "Little guy, this is easy for you, are you still interested in challenging it?"
"Thank you very much, elder. It turns out that if you decide to participate in the Dao Enlightenment Ceremony, you must follow the rules from beginning to end," Lin Chen said.
"Very good, I have arranged a good opponent for you." Master Zhenyuan said with a smile: "Don't think that you can sit back and relax after crossing the island, maybe you also have a chance of being eliminated."
opponent!
Lin Chen's eyes were blazing. With his cultivation level, what he longed for most was his opponent.
"Junior will do his best."
Lin Chen bowed respectfully and flew into the heart-crossing chain.
moment!
The fog in front of me suddenly turned into a raging fire.
In the raging fire, various ferocious demon statues bared their teeth and claws, roaring and hissing.
The iron chain under his feet also turned red.
The scene in front of him felt like Lin Chen was standing in Shura Purgatory.
If you make a mistake, you will seem to fall into endless purgatory.
The scene presented was completely like a real interpretation, and all kinds of evil fire and evil thoughts came straight to the mind.
"All evil comes from the heart, and confusion is the obstacle!"
Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes, his heart still.
All evil and all appearances are nothing but illusion.
Lin Chen stood up and meditated, his heart was like a rock, no matter how bad the evil thoughts invaded his body, he remained unwavering.
Lin Chen's feet did not move at all.
One thought about the end of the world, one thought close at hand, it all depends on the heart.
a long time!
A rough voice resounded: "I want to cross the island, my understanding is good!"
Hearing the sound, Lin Chen opened his eyes.
A tall and powerful man with strong physique was standing in front of him.
Although it didn't reveal any aura, it had a powerful sense of intimidation.
Strong!
From what Lin Chen knew, his opponent's cultivation level was definitely higher than his own.
I was curious for a moment, and when I glanced around, I saw that there was actually a wide jade martial platform, and it was also a completely independent suspended island, which seemed to have invisible restrictions.
"Sure enough, I crossed the island with just one thought." Lin Chen sighed in his heart.
Walking on the heart chain is just because there are distracting thoughts in the heart.
The deeper you go, the deeper you sink.
As long as the mind is calm and enlightened, the mind will be as still as water, and all evil and evil appearances will naturally disappear without attack.
Realizing this, Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Jianchen, I'm from the Sword Sect. I don't know how to address you respectfully, brother?"
"Xiao Long!"
The man said contemptuously: "Although your performance is outstanding, you are just a warrior from the lower realm. I really don't understand why the elders put me here! At least based on my current understanding of you, you are far from letting me take action.
Qualifications!"
"I know in my heart that I am no match for Brother Dao, but since the rules are like this, I will still fight with all my strength." Lin Chen smiled faintly, tepidly.
"It's interesting." Xiao Long narrowed his eyes slightly.
