"There must be some mystery in these three paintings that I haven't discovered, but I can't place all my hopes on them."
"Right now, we can only split into two paths and go together. On the one hand, continue to study the mysteries of these three paintings, and on the other hand, try to break the seal with the power of will."
After three full days, without finding any mystery in the three paintings, Lin Yu finally decided to change his strategy.
The power of his will spread out, and soon gathered into substance, impacting towards the cyan chains around him.
However, the strength of the cyan chain was obviously beyond Lin Yu's expectation. Even with the strength of his will, it could only cause negligible damage to the cyan chain.
If this situation continues, let alone three months, even if Lin Yu is given three years, it will be impossible to break this cyan chain!
"This last round of tests is really tricky!"
Although Lin Yu was helpless in this regard, he could only continue to try, while the rest of the people were also at a loss.
Even the Illusion God, who is one of the three overlords, is good at illusions, and whose strength of will is no less than that of a real half-step powerful man, still hasn't found any way!
Time passed by in a hurry, and a month passed in the blink of an eye, and within this month, not one of the twenty-nine people present made any progress!
"Mirror, sword, water, blank...what does this mean?"
Not only Lin Yu, Huanshen, Xilao, Zhencheng and others were all thinking about this issue, but no matter who they were, they still didn't gain anything at all.
Soon, the second month passed, and there was only the last month left before the end of this test!
"Only the last month left!"
"It's over, we're all done, we're all dead!"
The deadline for the test is getting closer and closer, and everyone is becoming more and more anxious. Until now, no one can remain calm, not even Lin Yu.
Although his will was firm, he was still confused in the face of this almost unsolvable dilemma!
"What do these three paintings mean?"
He looked closely at the three paintings, hoping to discover some secrets from these three paintings, but everything was the same as before, and he still gained nothing!
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed, and there is only the last half month left before the deadline of this test!
"There is no hope!"
"Instead of being killed or becoming someone else's slave, I might as well die a simpler death!"
"The inheritance of ancient civilization, hahaha, a scam, this is a scam at all!"
A crazy roar suddenly sounded, and one person among the crowd suddenly stood up.
His face was filled with a look of madness, and in his roar, he actually activated the power of his will and turned it into a blade of will, directly cutting himself into two pieces!
Under this kind of suffering with no hope in sight, some people finally couldn't stand it any longer and chose to commit suicide!
Losing the powerful strength he was accustomed to and facing tremendous pressure, his spirit finally collapsed. This was the first, but it will definitely not be the last!
Every day that followed, almost one or two people suffered mental breakdown and committed suicide. After ten days, there were only sixteen warriors left who were still persisting.
Even these sixteen people almost all had faces full of despair. It was only the last thought of luck that kept them from committing suicide.
In such a torturous environment, time is still passing by, and finally, there are only less than three days left before the end of the test!
"It seems that I have no hope."
At this point, even Lin Yu no longer had the slightest confidence, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
In the past nearly three months, he had gone from being confident at the beginning, to confusion and confusion, to anxiety and despair, and now, he has become relieved.
There are only less than three days left. In such a short period of time, unless some miracle happens, it is impossible for him to pass the test!
After realizing this, Lin Yu's mood calmed down. He was not a person who couldn't afford to lose. Since he was destined to fail, he simply faced it all calmly.
At this moment, Lin Yu no longer had any disturbing thoughts in his heart. Whether it was life or death, he could face it calmly.
His eyes looked at the three paintings again. Now, he no longer wanted to explore the secrets in these three paintings. He just wanted to take a last look at these paintings.
"Um?"
When Lin Yu looked at the first painting, through the mirror, Lin Yu suddenly saw his own figure there. He in the mirror had clear eyes and was also looking at him.
Buzz!
Looking at the figure that was exactly the same as himself, Lin Yu was suddenly stunned. There seemed to be a thunder in his mind. The next moment, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha... stupid, I am so stupid!"
"There is nothing special about this mirror at all. It is indeed just a mirror!"
"The sword is indeed just a sword, the water is indeed just water, and everything that is blank is indeed just a blank, but it is all heart!"
"My heart is like a mirror. I can brush it from time to time, and I can see my heart clearly. There is no confusion, no confusion, my mind is eternal and unmoving, and my will can also shine."
"My heart is like a sword. I should go forward without hesitation and cut through everything. My heart is like water, which can accommodate all things and embrace all rivers."
"My heart should be like the universe, and should be one with all things. The boundless heaven and earth are all in my heart."
"These three paintings actually represent will, or the path of spiritual cultivation!"
At this moment, Lin Yu completely understood.
These three paintings represent three artistic conceptions, as well as three levels of will and mind cultivation!
The first level is to know your heart and see your nature, and your original heart is like a mirror. At this stage, what you have to do is to see your own heart clearly, point directly to your original heart, and act in accordance with your heart.
The second level is divided into two different branches!
The first branch is that the heart is like a sword. After understanding your own heart, you will continue to sharpen your heart and will. No matter what you encounter, always stick to your heart and be as sharp as a sword!
If the first branch takes the "hard" route, then the second branch takes the "soft" route.
The heart is like water, it can accommodate everything and integrate everything, but no matter how it changes, its essence remains unchanged. These two different roads have different directions, but in the end they reach the same goal. If you want to reach the final third level, you must be strong and soft.
