In Xuanwu Sect, on a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, there is an ancient tree that blocks out the sky and the sun.
This ancient sacred tree towers into the clouds, with thick branches soaring into the sky.
The trees are as hard as iron, with dense crowns and lush branches and leaves.
Its roots are deeply rooted under the mountains, integrated into the aura of the earth, and grow many thick roots, wrapping around the surrounding rocks and soil like giant pythons.
There are many peculiar patterns and details on the trunk of the sacred tree.
Under the canopy of the tree, there is a dark and mysterious world. The light shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves, making it look particularly mysterious.
This tree is so huge that it looks like a big umbrella covering the sky from a distance. When people look at it, they will feel a sense of worship.
At this moment, two figures were sitting in a pavilion under the ancient sacred tree.
The person in front of him was Jin Sheng, who was wearing a golden Taoist robe. At this moment, his eyes looked at an old man sitting in front of him with respect.
The old man had white hair floating around, his brows were sparse, and his eyes were deep. He had a high forehead and high eyebrows, and looked very energetic.
He was wearing a dark purple Taoist robe with some weird patterns embroidered on it, which made him look very mysterious and extraordinary.
The hem of the Taoist robe is loose and natural, complementing his figure.
His figure is tall and thin, giving people a noble and lean look.
His fingers were slender and very dexterous, and his fingertips gently tapped the stone table, looking very elegant.
His eyes are deep and bright, like two crystal gems, able to see through a person's surface and into his heart.
At this moment, his lips were slightly raised, as if he were smiling, giving people a sense of affinity and warmth.
Although he is seventy years old, he does not look old, but has a sense of being out of the world.
His eyes looked into the distance, revealing a hint of depth.
"Master, if you want to accept him as your disciple, why do you need to let him pass the three tests?" Jin Sheng glanced at the old man in front of him and said respectfully in a low voice.
Jin Sheng himself is powerful and has a transcendent status that allows him to respect him as his master. This old man's identity is by no means simple.
"This boy is much better than the disciples of the sect in terms of talent and strength, but his character needs to be tempered before he can become a talent."
The old man's eyes were like lightning. He looked into nothingness. After a while, he whispered softly: "If he passes the three levels, take him to Tiandao Peak."
He glanced at the void again and disappeared in place without a trace of existence.
Jin Sheng was surprised, but he still respectfully returned to where the old man disappeared and said slightly: "I sincerely obey the master's imperial decree."
"Tiandao Peak, interesting!" Jin Sheng said with an indescribable look in his eyes and a smile on his lips.
There are countless peaks standing within Xuandao Sect, and even the smallest peak can accommodate at least 100,000 people.
Each mountain peak can actually be regarded as a huge cave. Only the core disciples of the sect with transcendent status and talent will be given such a cave.
However, Tiandao Peak has sufficient spiritual energy and is an excellent cave. Even the core disciples are not qualified to own a mountain peak.
Only those who are valued by the sect will be given a mountain cave.
Jin Sheng did not expect that his master would value Jiang Chen so much.
"This Jiang Chen is quite extraordinary. It makes Master want to truly accept a disciple. Let's see if you can seize this opportunity." Jin Sheng's eyes flashed.
His master is one of the seven deputy sect masters of Xuanwu Sect.
The strength of these seven deputy sect masters is unfathomable, and they jointly control all affairs of the Xuanwu Sect.
Under them is a huge and strict system of elders, deacons and disciples.
Once Jiang Chen really becomes a disciple of the deputy sect master, he can almost go sideways in the entire Xuanwu Sect.
On the other side, after Jiang Chen stepped into the halo, his eyes flashed and he suddenly appeared in the dark starry sky.
In front of you is a quiet and mysterious world. Here, there is no light source, only endless darkness and twinkling stars.
Standing in this darkness, Jiang Chen felt an endless silence and loneliness, as if he was the only one in the entire universe.
Stars twinkled in the darkness, some as bright as diamonds, others as faint as lanterns.
They emitted a faint light, as if conveying some kind of message to Jiang Chen.
This dark starry sky seems to be an endless sea, bottomless but full of mystery.
Here, Jiang Chen suddenly felt his own insignificance and helplessness.
"So what if I become stronger?"
"In the end, it didn't turn into nothingness."
"Human beings are inherently weak, how can they go against the will of heaven!"
"If you don't bring it with you in life, and if you don't take it with you in death, what's the meaning of your life? Why not just turn it into nothingness and live as long as the stars, the sun and the moon!"
At this moment, Jiang Chen's mind kept ringing with figures one after another, as if they were whispering in his ears.
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and the loneliness and helplessness in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"This place can actually cause changes in the mind!" Jiang Chen looked around, his expression a little gloomy.
Waves of cold air emanated from the void, giving off a sense of despair.
Jiang Chen looked quietly into the sky, looking at the dark starry sky above and fell into deep thought.
The cold wind around me sounded like the sound of crying.
At this moment, it seems that the whole world is filled with this heart-wrenching cry, and the wind keeps blowing, like the vast and empty heaven, with no end.
His cultivation, physical body, and spiritual consciousness all disappeared, as if he had become a mortal again.
"Is it a test of Taoist heart?"
There was no trace of anxiety on Jiang Chen's face. He stood quietly in front with calm eyes.
Next, a golden light flew down from the void and suddenly landed on Jiang Chen's body. At this moment, Jiang Chen's expression suddenly changed. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.
In an instant, Jiang Chen turned into a human-shaped torch, burning there and emitting a terrifying light.
At this moment, all the killings Jiang Chen had experienced turned into boundless karma and burned every inch of his flesh and blood.
This is boundless karmic fire, not a flame in the ordinary sense. It carries the will of heaven and earth, judgment, and the cruel suppression of the universe.
All sins, blessed by cause and effect, and boundless killings, descended together and turned into terrifying karmic fire, burning Jiang Chen's body.
"ah……"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but howl, and his body was set on fire. By the time it was burned to the end, his flesh and blood had dried up and even turned into coke.
But he was not dead yet, and an extremely cold voice came from the void.
"Do you know your sin?"
These words carried the power of heaven and earth and the will of judgment, ruthlessly torturing Jiang Chen.
"What crime am I guilty of!" Jiang Chen roared in the void with unwillingness to do anything.
"You have killed countless people, your sins are serious, and many causes and effects have been imposed on you. After your death, you will never be reincarnated!" The voice in the void was cold and ruthless.
"Nonsense, how can you judge my path?" Jiang Chen's whole body was covered in charcoal, but he was not dead yet.
He endured great pain every moment, and faced the torture of the void, he issued a deafening response.
Various painful memory scenes also appeared in Jiang Chen's mind, and the memory scenes in his mind were also getting faster and faster.
Gradually, he seemed to see his future life, from birth, old age, illness and death, the epitome of life scenes, slowly integrated into Jiang Chen's mind.
After a long time, he no longer had any memory images in his mind, only two words, death.
Death is his final destination. No matter how strong he is, he can't escape death!
This sad ending seemed to be destined. Jiang Chen was shocked, and gradually he began to doubt his own path.
He fell into deep thought, wondering what the meaning of his life was.
He began to deny the path he was taking and tried to escape from everything in front of him.
At this moment, all the fragility in Jiang Chen's heart was exposed. He was frightened and filled with infinite despair.
At the same time, the smell of death began to flow from his body.
At this moment, Jiang Chen is experiencing the biggest pursuit in history. This is the torture of his heart.
Once he is unable to get out of it, death is the only thing waiting for him.
A monk's Taoist heart is broken, which is no different from death.
He was doubting his Taoist heart and denying his own path. Jiang Chen's cultivation naturally began to decline rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The vitality in his body quickly disappeared, the air of death gradually filled the air, and his heartbeat fell into silence.
The cold and lonely void became darker and richer.
Painful memories that he didn't want to recall from his previous life began to appear in the depths of Jiang Chen's mind.
It was as if he had experienced all his experiences from birth to time traveling into this world.
Jiang Chen has had a very unhappy life since he could remember. He was cruelly abandoned by his biological parents as soon as he was born.
Fortunately, there is always a way out, and he was adopted by a wealthy couple and survived. But who knew that this would be the beginning of painful memories again.
Although Jiang Chen is nominally the son of this wealthy couple, his actual existence is more like a moving medicine bottle to them.
Only after he became an adult did Jiang Chen learn that he existed as a mobile blood bank to provide blood to the biological sons of wealthy couples.
The couple's son suffers from a strange disease, and blood needs to be changed every once in a while.
But his blood type is extremely rare, and even after searching almost all over the country, no one matching it was found.
It wasn't until they discovered that Jiang Chen's blood type was consistent with their biological son that they adopted Jiang Chen.
Growing up, Jiang Chen had to draw blood every once in a while to save the life of his nominal brother. At such a young age, he was already numb to needles.
But even so, he did not receive the care he deserved, and instead was ostracized by the wealthy couple.
Even his future was arranged by the rich couple, and he lived more like a puppet.
He also tried to escape from the home that was more like a prison to him, but failed every time.
The power of the wealthy couple was overwhelming. No matter where Jiang Chen fled, he could not escape their control!
Suffering only attacks the poor, and hemp ropes only break at the thinnest places.
In his previous life, Jiang Chen had a very hard life, but his heart was kinder than most people.
Suffering is not worth pursuing, temper your will because suffering cannot be avoided!
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Chen encountered too many injustices!
But he still retains a positive heart. He is not crushed by suffering, but thrives.
But his fate was so unfair. Years of suffering made him sick from overwork, and he suffered from many diseases all over his body.
He doesn't even have a true friend. It's no exaggeration to say that Jiang Chen's previous life was a tragedy.
"I have been kind throughout my life and have never done anything bad, but none of the sufferings in this world have spared me! The world is a good place, but I won't come here in the next life."
Jiang Chen often lamented that his life was confused and he didn't know why he was living. He lived more like a walking zombie.
It wasn't until he went to college that Jiang Chen came to this world as soon as he opened and closed his eyes.
Even after he came to this world, Jiang Chen lived with a positive attitude. He was dedicated to his work and abided by it conscientiously.
He also met a friend like Lao Wang who treated him sincerely, which he cherished very much.
Until he met zombies, robbers, the Black Tiger Gang and other entities who wanted to kill him.
Jiang Chen finally got angry. He didn't want to live as useless as he did in his previous life. He just wanted to climb to the top step by step!
"I will write the ending of this life myself. Anyone who blocks my way will die!"
"God blocks the God of Killing!" Jiang Chen's heart began to burst with terrifying murderous intent and rage.
At the same time, a weak fluctuation came from his body.
Jiang Chen's spiritual will gradually became brighter, and at this moment, the struggle on his face disappeared.
"The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed."
Gradually, a golden fire appeared in Jiang Chen's chest.
A terrifying murderous intention suddenly spread from Jiang Chen's body.
"My Tao must be superior to all living beings!" At this moment, Jiang Chen's Taoist heart was extremely condensed!
Infinite killing intent burst out from his heart, and everything in front of him began to shatter.
The moment he opened his eyes, all the stars in the sky were shattered, and Jiang Chen's eyes revealed a hint of tomorrow night.
Jiang Chen gradually walked forward, his body gradually straightened up, and his cultivation level gradually recovered.
At this moment, his Taoist heart became purer!
In the Xuanwu Sect, under the ancient tree, Jin Sheng let out a light sigh, and his eyes revealed a strange light.
"You can find your Taoist heart so quickly. No wonder Master is so optimistic about this person!"
His eyes were always calm, but there was a hint of gloom in them.
"The three levels of entry are said to be a test, but in reality, if you can clarify your Taoist heart, it will be a great opportunity! This Jiang Chen has found his true self so quickly, and this boy is so terrifying!"
Even Jin Sheng didn't notice it at all. At this moment, he had already treated Jiang Chen on an equal footing.
Within the Xuanwu Sect, in a void space, an old man in purple robes was sitting cross-legged in the void, meditating with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, showed a satisfied smile, and whispered: "Good!"
On the other side, as Jiang Chen slowly advanced, his surroundings began to break.
Until his figure took a step forward and walked out of the circle he entered before.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes were calm, and before he entered the ring, there was a strange change in his whole body.
It's just that this change was deeply hidden by him, making it difficult to detect.
It's just that his eyes are clearer than before, like the starry sky, without a trace of confusion in them.
