Chapter Ninety-Eight The Iron Rope of the Sea of ??Fire
As time goes by, most of the disciples have broken through the barrier.
Among the forty-three people, only sixteen passed the test in the end.
This elimination rate can be described as quite cruel.
Only the most powerful practitioners among the three new disciples of the three sects, such as Shen Mo, Lu Ming, Li Chen, and Yanyue Sect disciple Xiao Ling'er, can easily pass the test.
The remaining disciples, even if they successfully passed the test, were all injured.
After waiting at the end of the passage for half an hour, these disciples took pills to temporarily suppress their injuries.
Then, everyone began to push open the stone door at the end of the passage.
"Buzz!"
When the dust-covered ancient stone door opened, what greeted Shen Mo and others' eyes was not a towering building or a magnificent underground palace.
But - sea of fire!
Inside the door is a huge sea of fire, with rolling lava and billowing waves.
Above the sea of fire, there is a long iron cable that connects the stone steps leading to the next area.
"This sea of fire is the second level?"
When Xiao Ling'er and others saw this scene, they frowned slightly and looked at Lu Ming.
"Not bad."
Lu Ming nodded: "Master told me that we only need to pass through this sea of fire passage to reach the cave of Lord Lingfu."
"There is a great treasure he left behind."
"What's the secret behind passing through this sea of fire?"
Xiao Ling'er stared at the stone steps in the distance and asked.
The cliff of the sea of fire in front of us looks scary, but everyone present is a practitioner.
Not to mention that there is a cable channel for walking, even if you can only step on the lava, it is not difficult.
Therefore, she believes that this level is not as simple as it seems.
"The sea of fire here is not an ordinary flame, but an earth-fire spiritual flame that burns the mind."
"Once you step on the iron rope, the illusion of questioning your mind will appear. Unless your mind is firm, you will not be able to get through it."
Lu Ming had nothing to hide and told them everything.
Even if he doesn't say it, the other two disciples only need someone to try to cross the sea of fire to try out the mystery.
Lu Ming's advantage in knowing this information is that he has prepared the heart-soothing talisman in advance to strengthen his Taoist heart.
"Promise, when you pass through this talisman and stick it on your body, it can stabilize your Taoist mind and not be disturbed by illusions."
Lu Ming distributed the mind-calming talismans prepared in advance to the Linjiang Sect disciples who entered the second level.
Not many disciples entered the second level. Apart from Shen Mo and Yang Qingshan, they were Lu Xu and Xu Longxiang.
Lu Ming prepared a lot of talismans, enough for everyone to have one.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu Ming!"
Everyone accepted this peace-mind talisman and expressed their gratitude to Lu Ming.
Some people are born with a long-sleeved leadership temperament.
Obviously, Lu Ming is such a person.
During this trip to explore the mountains and rivers, he not only united the disciples of the three peaks together, but also prepared talismans for them in advance.
Earned enough favorability points.
It can be predicted that after returning to the sect, his prestige among the new disciples will inevitably skyrocket.
"Brothers, even though you have the talisman with you, don't think that you can rest easy."
"This mind-calming talisman can only provide blessings, but if your Taoist heart is not firm enough, it will still be difficult to get through this level."
After hearing Lu Ming's suggestion, Shen Mo was also a little uneasy about the upcoming test of questioning.
If his strength is tested like the previous level, Shen Mo will naturally rest easy.
However, what is to be tested in this level is the ethereal thing like Taoist heart. Shen Mo is really not very sure about this.
Although he has been on the immortal path for several months and has seen all kinds of cruelty in the spiritual world, Shen Mo feels that he is no more determined than the ordinary mortals in his previous life.
It was almost the same as the first level before, and soon some disciples took the lead to pass the level.
This time, the first person to pass the level was a disciple of the Ghost Corpse Sect.
Shen Mo didn't know his name, but since he could get through the first level, he obviously had some ability.
But this disciple of the Ghost Corpse Sect performed very poorly.
As soon as I stepped on the iron rope for more than ten steps, I seemed to be confused by the illusion, my body was swaying, and I couldn't control myself.
Finally, he accidentally fell.
Fortunately, the moment his body fell out of control from the iron rope, the illusion in front of the man's eyes dissipated, allowing him to wake up instantly.
Only then did he have the opportunity to crush the empty talisman and leave.
He avoided being engulfed by the sea of fire and eventually turned into ashes and died miserably.
The failure of the first person made the others feel heavy.
I have a deeper understanding of the difficulty of crossing this iron chain and sea of fire.
After a long time, three more people came out to try.
But without exception, they all failed to pass smoothly.
The person who traveled the farthest was Lu Xu, who was previously assigned the Calming Talisman by Lu Ming.
But even he found it difficult to continue halfway through.
Next, three more people started to break through the level one after another.
This time, there is finally someone who can reach the other side of the sea of fire and iron rope.
The first person to successfully pass the test was Li Chen, the genius of the Ghost Corpse Sect.
"The inner flames here are really weird. If my Taoist heart had not been firm enough, I would have been invaded by the inner demons and completely lost my position."
Although he successfully passed the test, Li Chen still had lingering fears.
After him, many people began to try to cross the bridge, but all ended in failure.
Shen Mo looked more and more solemn as he watched each of the people crossing the bridge fail.
He knows very well that his success rate will probably not be too high.
Shen Mo did not start climbing the bridge immediately, but still watched and waited for other people's actions.
After Xun Tian failed, several disciples who were eager to try were also hesitant.
After a while, someone finally took steps again.
It’s Xiao Ling’er, the genius of Yanyue Sect.
"My heart is as cold as ice, and I won't be surprised if the sky falls."
She silently chanted Yanyuemen's Bingxin Jue in her heart, stepped on the iron rope, and walked straight all the way.
The many illusions and inner demons you encounter are difficult to invade yourself.
In the end, he became the second person to successfully cross the sea of fire.
After she arrived, Lu Ming also began to try to pass.
As Shen Mo guessed, Lu Ming was well prepared and had the blessing of spiritual talent, so he passed the test smoothly.
The two passed the level one after another, once again giving some confidence to some disciples who had retreated.
They started to pass again, but all ended in failure.
"I carry a lot of gains with me, and I can't afford to lose anything."
"If you want to take risks, you need to put things in order first."
Shen Mo couldn't hold himself back anymore and was ready to break through.
But out of caution, he returned to the entrance passage and found Cao Ren who was still waiting there.
"You keep this Qiankun bag. If I successfully pass the test, I will come to you to retrieve it." Shen Mo said with a solemn expression, "If I really get eliminated early, remember not to be robbed by others. Come out when the time comes.
Give it back to me."
"Well, be careful."
Cao Ren was slightly stunned, but he quickly followed his instructions and carefully put away the Qiankun bag.
After arranging this matter, Shen Mo made up his mind to set foot on this iron cable bridge.
