Xu Chunniang realized that she had met Xuehai's test.
If you want to successfully cross the sea of xuehai and reach the other side, in addition to resisting the ever-present force of rejection, you must also get the affirmation of the sea of xuehai.
She relaxed and allowed herself to be pulled by the force, sinking deeper into the seabed.
The voice of an ancient will sounded in Xu Chunniang's mind.
"Why aren't you surprised or afraid?"
"Because I know that only by being recognized by Xuehai can we truly reach the other side."
"good."
Ancient Will slowly opened his mouth and said, "Since you are a student of the sea, you must be a knowledgeable person, so you are qualified to cross the sea. You come to cross the sea, but you think you have enough knowledge?"
"No."
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and shook her head slightly, "Although I have read many books, I dare not lie. I have very profound knowledge."
"So, you are a person with little knowledge?"
The tone of the ancient will was slightly dissatisfied, and the surrounding seawater seemed to sense its emotions and became turbulent.
Affected by the shock of the sea water, Xu Chunniang's body sank again.
Xu Chunniang's tone remained calm, and she seemed not to be affected by the surrounding environment.
"No, although I don't think I have profound knowledge, I am not a person with shallow knowledge."
As soon as she finished speaking, the noise in the sea around her calmed down a bit, and the speed of her body's descent also slowed down.
Ancient Will snorted coldly, "That being said, since you are not a knowledgeable person, you cannot cross this sea of learning, so please go back."
"Then I want to ask, what does it mean to be knowledgeable?"
The ancient will took it for granted, "The so-called profound knowledge naturally means knowing everything about the past, future, astronomy and geography."
"Those who have cultivated to the stage of transforming into gods can be regarded as practicing saints. You can know the fate of mortals and determine the fate of this life and the next, but you can't control your own destiny. Is this called profound knowledge?"
The ancient will replied calmly, "No, if you can't even control your own destiny, no matter how much knowledge you have, what's the use?"
Xu Chunniang continued to ask, "If you have cultivated in the Mahayana period, you are familiar with the changes in laws, and you know the past and future affairs of the world, you are similar to a true immortal. Is this called profound knowledge?"
"No, even if you are a Mahayana monk, you are close to immortality but not immortal. You cannot transcend the Five Elements and Three Realms, and your lifespan will eventually be limited."
Xu Chunniang asked again, "What about the true immortals who understand the changes of yin and yang and transcend the three realms and five elements? Can they be considered truly knowledgeable?"
The ancient will pondered for a moment, and then said.
"Immortals also have limitations. The more they know, the more they feel insignificant. Even they cannot be considered truly knowledgeable."
Xu Chunniang said leisurely, "Since even a true immortal dare not claim to be knowledgeable, how can I dare to claim to be knowledgeable based on some books I have read and a few rules I know?"
The ancient will spoke slowly, "What you said makes sense, but this is the rule of the sea of learning. There is no limit to the sea of learning. How can we safely cross it without profound knowledge?"
"There is no limit to the sea of learning, and you can be a boat with diligence. Heaven rewards diligence. As long as you have the heart to learn and follow the path, and practice diligently on this path, why worry about not reaching the other shore?"
As Xu Chunniang finished speaking, the sea water around her retreated quietly.
Her feet stepped onto solid ground again.
"It is true that when you step on the road to the other side, you will reach the other side."
The ancient will left its last words and dissipated into nothingness.
Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had been recognized by Xuehai's will.
She looked around and saw a group of spiritual eyes in the sea of students behind her, with a look of surprise on her face.
This spiritual eye is the spiritual eye of Xuehai. It gathers the essence of spiritual energy in the entire academic sea. It is the place where the spiritual energy is the purest and most concentrated.
"This is it."
Xu Chunniang walked towards the spiritual eye, took out the lotus root of the Nine-curved Golden Lotus, and placed it above the spiritual eye.
Under the wash of spiritual energy, the luster on the lotus root becomes more moist and shining.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's such a pity that such pure spiritual power is not used for cultivation."
Wang Tianhuan said in a disgusted tone, "What's the use of refining some broken incarnation? Break through the integration stage as soon as possible, and Grandpa Huan and I can be free one day earlier."
Xu Chunniang didn't say a word, but she took out a ray of essence, blood and vigor and penetrated it into the lotus root.
Something magical happened. After the lotus root absorbed the essence, blood and spirit, its color gradually changed from gold to brown, and it began to take on a human shape, with limbs and facial features.
Xu Chunniang pointed towards Lotus Root Man, and a spirit flew out from her fingertips and fell into Lotus Root Man's mouth.
With the help of this divine soul, the lotus root man suddenly "alive", his limbs continued to grow, and his facial features became clear from blur, turning into the same eyebrows as Xu Chunniang's.
In the end, no matter the stature, facial features, or even the hair, Lotus Root Man was the same as her, as if they were printed from the same mold.
Xu Chunniang looked at the Lotus Root Man and had a strange feeling in her heart.
Lotus Root Man also looked at her with a smile, and they had a clear understanding of each other.
This feeling is very novel. She is both herself and a Lotus root person.
Wang Tianhuan curled his lips in disdain, "Is this the unique incarnation you mentioned? It doesn't look like anything special. It's just the first level of Qi training, tsk!"
Xu Chunniang said nothing and took a step towards the spiritual eye, standing above the spiritual eye with Lotus Root Man.
Immediately, she and the little lotus root incarnation sat down cross-legged, running the Taixu Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, breathing in and absorbing the spiritual energy surging out of their spiritual eyes.
The spiritual energy in Ling's eyes was astonishing. Almost in a breath, Lotus Root Man's cultivation level increased steadily, breaking through the realm of foundation building.
Only three days after establishing the foundation, the incarnation of the lotus root broke through again. After breaking through to the golden elixir stage, its cultivation level continued to grow at an alarming rate.
The practice of the incarnation is inherently simpler than the real body, and there is no bottleneck in the practice of the incarnation. As long as you have enough spiritual energy, you can increase your cultivation. This is why the lotus root incarnation can break through the realm so quickly.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the lotus root incarnation and saw that everything was as usual, so she ignored it and continued to absorb the spiritual energy.
As time goes by, the cultivation level of the incarnation of Lotus Root is getting higher and higher, breaking through the three realms of Nascent Soul, Transforming God, and Refining the Void, and reaching the cultivation level of the early stage of Void Refining.
And Xu Chunniang absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy in her spiritual eyes, and her cultivation level increased rapidly and she reached the middle stage of refining the void.
"If your incarnation hadn't taken away half of the spiritual energy, these spiritual eyes would have allowed you to practice to the late stage of Void Refining."
Wang Tianyuan's tone was filled with regret, as he was still brooding over the part of his spiritual energy that was taken away by his incarnation.
Xu Chunniang remained silent, pulling the soul that had been refined into nothingness between heaven and earth, and wrapped it up towards the lotus root incarnation.
The lotus root incarnation was shocked at first, and then, under the assimilation of the soul, it seemed to be something or nothing.
In the end, the lotus root incarnation in the early stage of refining the void completely disappeared.
