As the space distorted and changed, Lin Che raised her head and glanced around, only to find that he had appeared in a closed space.
This space is about thirty feet in diameter, with more than a dozen thick stone pillars standing around it. The light is slightly dim, and it looks like the interior of a huge building.
"I understand. It turns out that this is the real scene on the first floor of the Ancestral Tower. Could it be that everything I have experienced before is..." Lin Che looked around and whispered to herself.
However, before he could finish his words, he only heard an old laugh, saying: "Hehehe... That's right, ever since you stepped into the ancestral tower Xuanmen, you have entered an illusion. Nothing you have experienced before is like this."
It's just an illusion. The place you are now is the real place on the first floor of the Ancestral Tower."
"who?"
Hearing this voice, Lin Che's expression changed slightly and she immediately looked forward.
At this time, he saw a white-haired old man, wearing a gray preaching robe, his figure suspended in the air, staring at him with a smile on his face.
The old man didn't seem to be a real existence. His whole body looked ethereal, more like he was in a soul state.
But even so, his eyes were extremely profound, as if they could see through people's hearts. Under the other person's gaze, Lin Che also felt a kind of awe from the bottom of her heart, as if she was extremely insignificant.
After being slightly shocked, Lin Che immediately reacted and guessed the identity of the old man.
Could this old man be the peerless strong man who lived in seclusion in Tianxia Jianzong thousands of years ago, Master Xueyang?
If this is the case, then this old man’s seniority is simply frightening. I’m afraid he is
When today's Sword Sect leader comes here, he must also address him as "Senior".
However, Lin Che did not wait to confirm this speculation.
Just listen to the old man saying: "Junior, since I set up the Blood Sea Illusion on the first floor of the Ancestral Tower, very few people have passed the test, and you are the first to be able to pass the test within two hours..."
This shows that your state of mind is very firm and you have not been too deeply affected by the bloody blood pattern of killing."
"Two hours?"
Lin Che clearly remembered that he spent at least half a month in the illusion of the sea of blood, but the old man said that it was only two hours before he entered the first floor of the ancestral tower.
Could it be that the flow of time in the blood sea illusion is different from that in the outside world? If this is the case, then the old man's methods are too unpredictable!
At the same time, Lin Che also had many doubts in her heart. At this moment, she asked the old man for advice: "Senior, I passed through a floating island and entered a teleportation light gate before appearing here. Does this count as passing the test?
?”
The old man nodded, "Of course, since you have left the illusion and appeared in the real world, you have naturally passed the test."
"It's so simple..."
Lin Che was a little surprised and said softly: "Before, the three of us had guessed that in order to pass this test, we would probably need to hunt a large number of underwater monsters and collect enough blood patterns to pass the test.
The possibility..."
"But I didn't expect that the method to pass this level would be so easy. Even if I don't collect a blood pattern, as long as I find the floating island, I can successfully end this level of testing?"
Hearing this, old man
But he smiled and said: "Many things in this world are not as complicated as imagined."
With a sigh, he looked at Lin Che and continued: "This illusion set up by me is related to some of my experiences back then, and also contains some of my life insights."
"In the fantasy world of blood sea, every time you kill a monster, you can collect a blood streak. You think that you only need to collect enough blood streaks to pass this test... But in fact, every blood streak
, but it represents a layer of karma. The deeper the karma, the greater the difficulties you will encounter."
"Since you can pass this level, you should have discovered that as the blood patterns you collect increase, the desire to kill in your heart is gradually awakened. If you cannot wake up in time, the monsters you encounter will become more and more terrifying, until you are eventually killed.
In the sea of blood."
"I see."
After hearing these stories, Lin Che understood the meaning contained in the illusion of the sea of blood.
Obviously, the old man arranged such an illusion not to explore their true strength, but to test their character.
On the road to martial arts, only those with extremely determined minds will not lose themselves and can go further.
At the same time, after such a conversation, Lin Che became more certain in her heart that the old man in front of her was definitely the Master Xueyang.
You must know that according to rumors, Master Xueyang used killing to prove his Taoism. His hands were stained with countless blood and he committed countless murders.
Later, it was precisely because Master Zhang Tianxing used his own life to influence him that he finally realized the truth and lived in seclusion within the Sword Sect.
After that, Zhenren Xueyang never appeared again.
After killing one person, although he gave up his way of killing, his state of mind entered another, more advanced realm, and the speed of his practice was not retreating but advancing.
It is precisely because of this that in his old age, he was able to reach a height that was difficult for countless monks to reach, and it was even said that he touched the threshold of the realm of the Sword King.
How similar is the test in the fantasy world of Blood Sea to the life of Master Xueyang?
"Only by letting go of your inner obsessions can you get rid of the shackles. Otherwise, you can only fall into the devil's obstacle and sink step by step... This is a kind of shackles on the state of mind. I don't know how many geniuses have stopped on the road of cultivation, and are finally trapped in their hearts.
The obsession is destroyed.”

"The younger generation has learned a lesson."
At this moment, Lin Che had a flash of enlightenment in her heart and bowed to the old man.
"Buzz!"
But at this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from his body, as if some kind of shackles were broken.
The next moment, invisible sword energy emerged out of thin air, circling around him and splitting the surrounding space into fine gaps.
The realm of ‘Sword Heart’ originally focused more on the inner feelings of sword cultivators.
And because of Lin Che's enlightenment this time, she made another breakthrough in the realm of swordsmanship. She actually went directly from the middle level of "Heart of Sword" to the high level of "Heart of Sword".
"Hahaha, junior, your understanding is indeed extraordinary. I think you are only about twenty years old, but you can enter the high-level realm of 'Sword Heart'. Even in any era, you are enough to be called a
A swordsman prodigy."
Lin Che's breakthrough in the realm of swordsmanship could not be concealed from Master Xueyang's perception. At this moment, he looked at Lin Che and spoke with admiration.
Hearing this, Lin Che
He hurriedly said: "How can I, a junior with a low level of knowledge, enter the eyes of my seniors? I would like to thank my seniors for their guidance, so that I can make a breakthrough in the realm of swordsmanship this time."
But the old man shook his head and said: "You don't need to be modest. I have seen countless people, and I can still distinguish geniuses from mediocre people... If I predict correctly, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to me."
As Master Xueyang, being able to give such an evaluation is obviously beyond the ordinary. And such an evaluation, I am afraid that the senior officials within the Sword Sect will be shocked in their hearts when they hear it.
Lin Che was slightly startled and was about to speak.
But at this time, Master Xueyang waved his hand and said directly: "Junior, since you have passed the first level of the Ancestral Tower, you can now get the corresponding rewards... However, what kind of rewards you can get will ultimately depend on
